 San Antonio. Texas. Nov 23.--A snecial to The Express from Mazatlan, Mexico, says;
 Advices received from Teguciga1pa, capital of Honduras, state that a hur- ricane has devastated the northern shores of that country. Entire vil- Iages have been destroyed and crops of fruits and cereals ruined. The loss of life among the coast Indians is said to have been considerable.
 Contributions are being raised for the homeless sufferers in various parts of the republic and the government has ordered a cargo of corn, rice and beans from San Francisco. There is fear of a famine in the country as crops in the interior section were partly ruined by storms some time ago.

Alexander fought TOT the love of the thing, Caesar Tor Rons and then for Caesar; Hannibal was urged on by vengeance; at Toulon and in Paris on the 18th Wendemiaire, Bona parte fought to show that he could light, and afterwards ambition was the motive of the First Napoleon.

 'But we of English tongue and Anglo Saxon lineage needs must feel cheap when the great captains of history are called in review and there Is none to answer us in our language. If mere ability to fight is considered, has the world known the equal of Marlbo- rough, of whom the historian has said He never besieged a town he did not take, fight a battle that he did not win, or plan a campaign that was not carried to a successful Termination are the immortal Washington's patient work at Valley Forge and his brilliant conclusion of well laid plans forgotten?

CT had read In the newspapers" said a visitor from Southeast Alabama that Montgomery was to have a new hotel, but I did not realize until today when I came to Montgomery that the dear, historic old Exchange Hotel was h dead ruin of the past.
 An indefinable, inexpllcable feeling came over me as ] stood out there on Court Square and looked at the debris that marks the spot of the old hostelry that was once the boast of Montgomery. Maybe 1t is a good thing to ra9e these old buildings, but some how my heart rebels against modern ingenuity which sweeps aside the architecture of a half century ago when artistic beauty was as desirable as material requirements
 T am one of those who is loyal to the past. Let the new hotel be called The New Exchange and we old fOgies will try to forgive those who shattered our sentimental affection for the old structure

sin 1896 began to have distressing
attacks of indigestion that continued
for two years. My stomach was con-
stantly sore and burned as if 1t was
on fire. 1t became finally so delicate
that it would not retain even plain wa

ed my weight gradually until it fell
down to ninety-eight pounds, and
faintness and dizziness kept me in bed
most of the time. was really starv-
ing to death and besides was ex-
tremely nervous. The doctor was per
picked because I was so run down,
He gave me tonics which did me no
good, and prescribed exercise which ]
was too weak to attempt.

kept on using them. Food began tc
taste well and to stay down. The pain
and the burning in the pit of my stom

together. My weight began to increase
until it reached 165 pounds and my
neighbors, who were convinced that
was wasting to death before, were as
tonished at the change. resumed my
housework and have hardly had oc
casion to call a doctor since l have

we are very thankful. Now if any of
of our old Wapelio county friends are
looking for a location and don't wish
to leave old Iowa they had better come
to Van Buren, county as land is not so
high here as in Wapello county, but
it is advancing very rapidly. We oc-
casionally find some one who does not
like Milton, saying it is too long be-
tween drinks, as Milton is a strictly
prohibition town and if they get any
thing stronger than water they have to
visit some neighboring city.
