NEW TRAIN SERVICE.
SOUTHERN PACIFIC PUTS ON
THROUGH SLEEPER BETWEEN
DALLAS AND BEAUMONT.

leans and 60 Them One Better.
Both Trains Connect with Sun
set Limited to and from New
Orleans-Dining Car Service.
An announcement of much i'm
portance to citizens of East Texas
and on the line between Dallas
and New Orleans, has just been
made by officials of the Southern
Pacific and the official statement
is made that on Sunday, March
9Th, q brand-new train service will
20 into effect between Dallas and
Beaumont, which not only will
prove of great convenience and
comfort to travellers between those
two points but will afford facili-
ties not existing heretofore. for re-
sidents of East Texas to travel to
and from New Orleans and to
points in the southeastern, eastern
and Atlantic States beyond. The
matter has been under considera-|
ton by the traffic and operating
officials of the Southern Pacific for
some time, but it was not thought
expedient to put on the improved
equipment until the new road-bed
of the T. & N. O. should have been
gotten into better and tirmer con-
ditiou to withstand the heavy ira
vel. This condition has about
been reached, and now arrange
ments have made to put on a Pull
man standard sleeping car to ope-
rate exclusively for the benefit of
travel between Dallas and Beau
mont, and it is proposed to ar
range the schedule so that the
train carrying this sleeper may
make connection at Beaumont with
the famous Sunset Limited of the
Southern Pacihc's main line, both
to New Orleans and west to Cali
fornia.
The new train will leave Dallas
at 600 o'clock p. m, and arrive at
Beaumont at $40 a. M, in time to
make connection with the east
bound Sunset Limited which
leaves Beaumont for New Orleans
at sos a. M, arriving at New Or
leans at Gas p. M, in ample time
to make all night connections with
the various lines running east and
north from New Orleans. The
Sunset Limited carries an elegant
ly equipped dining car, SO an
other attractive and comfortable
feature is added.
The north bound schedule of the
new train is arranged as to leave
Beaumont at $50 p. M. after ha-
wing taken passengers from the
west bound Sunset Limited which
arrives at Beaumont at $40 o. M,
from New Orleans. Arriving at
Dallas at 1910 noon passengers
reach the city in time for dinner
and for the transaction of business.
The new equipment and sche-
dale is expected to work big chan
ges in routing travel between Dali
las and New Orleans, for the ira
veler has the advantage of Sleep
ing and dining cars practically all
the way through.

A Lively Discussion Of Postoffice Frauds
Ia the Senate.

III NV SNuots'
Washington, Jan. 0 Alleged post,
office frauds were under discussion in
the Senate to day, the subject being
opened in a set speech by Mr.. Sim
mons. of North Carolina, who insist
ed that there should be an investiga-
ton by the Senate into the charges.
Mr. Platt, OF Connections, denied that
the Republicans we're trying to cover
up wrongdoing In the Postoffice de-
partment and said they simply were
contending that the postoffice CON-
mittee should ascertain what was to
be investigated. =
The discussion was participated in
by Mr.. Burrows, Mr.. Dolliver and
Mr.. Quarles on the Republican side,
and Mr.. Carmack. Mr.. Tillman and
Mr.. Teller on the Democratic side.
The Republican contention was that
there had been thorough investiga-
ton by the Postoffice department,
and that Senate investigation was
now being pressed by the Democrats
for partisan purposes. The Demo
crafts insisted that they wanted the
facts, and said that the Republicans
we're trying to smother them. Perry
$. Heath was bitterly assailed and
the Postmaster General, C. E Smith,
was criticised by Democratic sena-
tors.

DIDN'T SPEAK FOR 5 YEARS.
An Omaha Society Woman
Worked as Servant in Her
Own Home.

Omaha, Jan. THAT a man and
his wife can maintain a position In
society, live under the same roof,
dine at the same table and attend
the same church without speaking q
word to each other for fiveyears was
a surprise to society people who
heard the testimony of witnesses in
the Coulter divorce case to day.
DR.. F. E, Coulter, one of the fash
ionable physicians OF the city, AMI
Mrs. Coulter fulfilled the conditions
mentioned. What further surprised
the fashionable folk who were not in
timately acquainted with the Coul-
tiers was that for five Years Mrs.
Coulter did the servants duty in the
household, for servants wages, at
her own request, so that she need
not ask her husband for money.
Another feature OF the Coulter re-
lationship was that Mrs. Coulter had
to receive her friends in summer time
on the back porch, tecause the doc
tor used the front porch as a recep-
tion room for his callers. The testi-
mony disclosed another reason for
Mrs. Coulter's preference for the back
porch, and chat was that she usually
wore servants apparel.
DR. Coulter admitted, while testi-
flying, that he was in the habit of
spending considerable sums of money
in London while he practiced at a
hospital there, entertaining hand
some nurses at theater parties, while
Mrs. Coulter was at home doing the
work. 1t was this that led Mrs.
Coulter to refuse to sit in the same
pew with her husband.

FEMALE DISORDERS.
These Troubles Are Nearly Always Caused by Torpid Liver, Poor
 Digestion and Irregular Bowel Movements.
To Permanently Cure Them the Liver. Stomach and Bowels Must.
 Be Put Right.

It Is afact we'll known to medical men that g very large majority of the weak ness, irregularities and disorders pecul. far to women are due to torpid liver and constipated condition of the bowels. In men diseased liver produces kidney trouble; in women the genital organs being more deljcate than the kidneys are first affected, the disease spreading later to the kidneys. To ali woinenw suffer irregular, excessive or suppressed 2nenses, leucorThoea Cwhites1 womb trouble, pain or irritation we say Prick1y Ash Bitters offers you speedy and per- manent relief. It puts the liver in wig orous condition, empties and cleanses the bowels and tones up the female organs. With the liver and bowels ac- tive and healthy those distressing bearing down side and back pains, spells of weakness, heart throbbing, faintness, nausea will quickly disappear, giving place to q feeling of vigor and buoyancy of spirits. The eye is brightened, the complexion is cleared, the whole body strengthened and improved, thus chang ing weak, nervous, Respondent woman into one of sparkling health and cheer fulness. Prickly Ash Bitters is in this respect a boon to suffering womanhood. As kidney remedy it has merit of the highest order. The experience of years has proven that it is more successful in the mild or chronic forms of kidney dis ease than any of the widely advertised remedies of the present day.
