Letter to J. w. Harris.
San Angelo, Texas.

Dear Sir: We suspect you'd
like the tale, how a woman beat
two hardware dealers in Girard
Pennsylvania.
We tried our best to get those
men TO sell Devoe lead-and-Mnc
in that bright town; and failed.
Reluctantly took Mrs + r Bow.
man, druggist.
They said they couldn't sell
paint for more than $l.25 a gal
Ion. Mrs. Bowman can. She
has sold about all the paint, that
has been sold there since.
She knew Devoe; had sold oul
artists materials. Had some
sense and force, besides; she
easily learned that cheap is deal
in paint, and told the people.
Mr.. Burt Young bought a gal
lon Devoe for rooms that had al
ways taken gallon of othe
/ paint; had half left.
Mr.. +. II. lIiler, jeweler, paint
ed Devoe, and says it goes furthe
no particulars,
Mr.. John Hanna, grocer
thought it expensive before h
bought it; brought back nearl
half of his paint, and said it wa
the cheapest job he ever had.
Mrs. Bowman reports universe
satisfaction. So much for
cheap-paint town with a brigh
woman IN it. Yours truly

Fourth of July Celebration.

No man in San Angelo who
truly realizes the situation will
deny that the proposed Fourth of
July celebration and barbecue is
step in the proper direction. San
Angelo needs just such day as
this. In fact she needs more than
one of them. But big celebra-
ton and barbecue this year will
open the way for more celebra-
tions of the same sort.
Only good can come of 1t. We
have sent out invitations to half
the world to come here on that
day. We confidently expect 5000
visitors. IT every man in public
business becomes better acquaint-
ed with one-half of those who
come, the city has been benefited
far beyond any measure in dol
lars and cents.
San Angelo is no longer town.
Metropolitan ideas and methods
Of business and ways of life have
taken firm hold on her. And it
behooves her to use every fair
method Of increasing the friendly
bonds between the people of West
Texas and herself.
Let every man, then, use his
utmost endeavors 60 make of this
celebration a grand one, one that
will promote friendly feeling and
bring people here to see what the
Queen City of the Concho's is, and
has to offer in the way Of advan.
tages over other cities of its size
Whoop up the celebration
Send for your friends to come and
let's have 2 good day of it,

That New Opera House.

Now that San Angelo is in the
building humor why does not
some one build pretty opera
house? No better investment
could be had. There is no
city in the country the size of
San Angelo where amusements
are more popular than here.
There is no city where better pat
ronage is accorded plays and en-
tertainments. A larger opera
house would mean better COM
panies to come here, a better
class of performances and much
better patronage. San Angelo is not
so far out of the way but that the
very best repetOire companies
and many Of those which play TO
one and two night stands would
come if a better and larger stage
was afforded them and better
arranged house for the audience.
San Angelo has left her in
fancy and is coming to that stage
Of life where reason rules. That
she ought to have a better opera
house is very reasonable. That
she would patronize one is not
only reasonable but highly prob
able. In fact it is almost u GER
tainty.
Some San Angelo citizen, with
the necessary capital, can make
good interest on the Investment
and at the same time win laurels
if he will "come through" If an
individual does not, a stock COM
pany should be organized for the
purpose as A GREATER OPERA
HOUSE Is A PUBLIC NECESSITY.
Let all whoop up the idea.
Somebody will leone through. ="

A UNIQUE RECORD
Not Another Like 1t In Our Broad
Republic.


To give positive home testimony
in every locality is of itself un.
answerable proof OF merit; but
when we add to this the continued
endorsement of people who testl-
fled years ago no evidence can be
stronger. A Texas citizen CRATE
fully acknowledges the good re.
ceived from Doan's Kidney Pills
and when time has tested the cure
we find the same hearty endorse
ment, with added enthusiasm and
continued praise. Cases of this
kind are plentiful in the work of
Doan's Kidney Pills in Texas,
and such a record is unique in the
annals of medicine.
W. +. Davis, carpenter and
builder, living at 40 Soledad ST.,
San Antonio, who endorsed Doan's
Kidney Pills by making a state
ment for publication in May,
1902, reiterates his statement IN
even stronger terms, as follows:
He says: "In the month Of May,
1902, / made a statement for
publication, concerning the bene-
fits / had derived from the use of
Doaa's Kidney Pills. Since that
time, / have felt slight touches of
my old trouble but / found that a
few of Doan's Kidney Pills taken
in time never failed to ward off
the attack. l have recommended
them to many different friends
and acquaintance and will con-
tinue to do so for they did great
deal for me. Before taking the
pills / could not stoop or straight
en-. If attempted to pick up
anything from the floor, | had to
bend my knees instead of my
back. If | took cold it settled in
my kidneys and the action of
those organs was badly disordered.
The lapse of time since ] made
my former statement has served
to prove that the benefits derived
from the treatment have been
permanent"

His Last Hope Realized.


In the first opening Of Oklaho-
ma to settlers III 1889, the editor
of this paper was among the many
seekers after fortune who made
the big race one fine day in April.
During his travelling about and
his camping upon his
claim, he encountered much bad
water, which, together with the
severe heat, gave him a severe
diarrhoea which it seemed almost
impossible to check, and along in
June the case became so bad he
expected to die. One day one OF
his neighbors brought him one
small bottle of Chamberlain 5
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy as a last hope. A big
dose was given him while he was
rolling about on the ground in
great agony, and in few minutes
the dose was repeated. The good
effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within all hour the
patient was taking his first sound
sleep for a fortnight. That one
little bottle worked a complete
cure and he cannot help but feel
grateful. The season for bowel
disorders being at hand suggests
this item. For sale by the Cen,
trail Drug Store.

What is needed to settle the
trouble at Cripple Creek and
vicinity is visitation from
Uncle Sans regulars. Those are
the boys that teach respect for
the law wherever they go. They
have such an uncommonly bad
habit of shooting and shooting
straight when told to.
Conditions in Colorado have
gone from bad TO worse. They
are 10 longer tolerable. The
trouble that begun several years
ago over what few know now or
care about, has finally culmi-
mated in murder-not of individ-
uals, but Of men by the dozen.
The disgrace is no longer OH
Colorado alone, the entire nation
shares IN it.
Let no man raise his voice
against the persecution Of the
Jews in Russia or the massacre of
the Armenians in Asiatic Turkey
while such cowardIy, horrible
crimes as that which resulted in
the death of nearly a score Of men
at Cripple Creek are possible in
America.
No man can sanction the out
RACES in the Cripple Creek dis
trict. The interests of every
body demand that the disorder
and lawlessness there shall be
stamped out. Let the measure

demands. This is no time for

Even newspaper men cannot
escape a sense of amusement as
they read the daily dispatches
from the seat of war in the east.
The greatest newspapers of the
world are represented there. They
are spending fortunes to get at
the facts. They have engaged
the ablest and most resourceful
correspondents that modern
journalism has discovered or de-
veloped. Not a device is neglect
ed, not a dollar is grudged that
will bring quick, accurate COM
prehensive accounts of events in
the Russo-Japanese war to the
outside world. The net result of
it all is failure. There is not q
newspaper anywhere in the world
that has been able from the be-
ginning to secure any war news
until many days after the event,
and until all had become so stale
that neither power objected to its
transmission. 1t has been known
for days that something was hap
pening at Pert Arthur. Nothing
else has been known. Although
this is a seaport and therefore
more accessible to the corre-
spondent than any point within
militrry lines, no news came out.
Hence these infinitely various
surmises, all of which are mere
guesswork. However irritating it
may be from a journalistic point
of view, We must congratulate
Japan on her effectual suppress
sion of that publicity which is as
destructive in war as it is helpful
and necessary in eace.-Galves-
ton Tribune.

County commissioners at At

howl has gone up from the fans
Of that city that puts in the shade
any manifestation of disapproval
ever directed against an umpire.
The action of the commissioners
does look ill-advised. Baseball
gives more to a city than it takes
away, and it is not on record that
anyone ever grew rich at the game
outside the big leagues. Base
ball in Fort Worth is source of
pleasure to thousands and gives u
living to many. 1t is a legiti-
mate sport, and as the national
game, should not be classed along
with sports that subslst illegally
