WELLS md THE GOHERN
OPSHLP

i'm Wells wants to be Governor
He was ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS when
the five big consolidation bills We're
before the. Legislature. He went
home (dodged) and remained there
until they were raiIroaded through
the Senate In violation Of all prece-
dent, and then he returned to Aus
tin and proceeded with the regular
order Of business. Tyler Courier
Il is true that when a man be-
comes a candidate for Office or sig
nifes a Willingness TO do so, he be
comes q target Tor all kinds of ac-
cusauons, but nobody in Texas
should be so far of in history as to
perperate anything like the above.
Judge Wells held the Office of dis
trict Judge for about twelve months,
some SIX year ago. and, aside from
this. ne has never asked or receiv-
Cd amy Office ct the hands Of the
people. The Courier should &C
quaint itself with facts and not
make statements that have no foun-
datiou ID fact. Brownsville Her
aid
The Courier deserves censure far
more severe than that of the Her
aid for the conglomeration Of mis-
statements reproduced above. The
Advocate does not know what Mr.
Wells view are regarding consoli-
dations. but believes he viii state
his position plainly in due time
and IN opposition TO them The
gentleman has not 4 more Jealous
friend than the Advocate, and, to
be frank, we must admit that his
success for the governorship de
peuds largely upon the stand he
may take apropos mergers, the vital
issue-to-be in the campaign of 1906.
Victoria Advocate
THE HERALD preferred to let
the mantle of charity fall over such
Grass ignorance as displayed by
the Courier, trusting that it would
find rebuke from other sources, !
even from the school BOYS of the
rural districts, who know that the
name of Wells has never appeared 1
as a possible candidate for lieuten-
ant governor. When the time is
ripe Mr. Wells will no doubt give /
his views on subjects that Will be
made the issue in 1906, and no one
doubts, unless It IS the Courier and /
its like, that these views will be to /
the best interest of the entire state. /
In the meantime THE HERALD sug-
gests that the Tyler Courier and /
any other papers or men who seek
to create unjust prejudice against
a man who has always been a
stauuch democrat, serving his party /
at personal sacrifice, could improve
the time very probably in study
ing the political history of the past
few years, TO the end that they
might. at least give credit where it
is due, and not Try to saddle a man
with something he is not guilty Of.
Had Mr. Wells been a resident of
that particular section which the
Courier is supposed to represent.
that paper would no doubt be as
blind as the proverbial bat to any
deficiencies in his past career. But
the Courier man must be badly in
oculated with the idea that no
good thing can come out Of Naz-
areth, otherwise Southwest Texas,
and being welded to his idols THE
HERALD proposes to let him alone,
and to again let the broad mantle
of charity fail and cover the. Cou-
rier's sins, trusting that time and a
more correct knowledge Of the his
tory of political everts will set him
SIGHT.

The victory was not a party one in
the sense that the Democratic strong
holds were not altogether responsible for
it. The First ward, stanchly Repub-

Mayor Smith is elected by record

Democratic ticket goes through tri-

pIished by the Democracy yesterday in
the redemption of the First and EIev-

Linden, Republican, for alderman from

avalanche was buried the little band

time for Mrs. Bowser that she would
wish she had never been born, but

Instead of going in and facing the
matter, he walked up and down in the
shadows of night-walked up and down
and paid no heed to the walls of the
wounded and the screams of shot and
shell. Mrs. Bowser saw him from a
window and softly let the cat out of the
house, and as Mr.. Bowser walked and
walked the feline walked and walked
after him, and the policeman on the
other side of the street stopped to look

Perhaps He Had.

Madam" he said, when the woman of
the house appeared in answer to his ring,
IT have called for the suit of clothes
which needs rusning and repairing
What suit?" she asked, after a mo-
ment's thought
why, your husbands Sunday suit. He
stopped at my place as he went down this
morning and told me to be sure not to
forget It,"
''He said you were to call, did her"
"Oh, yes"
did he look and act natural?'
81 didn't notice any change in him. Why
do you ask?"
Because he has been dead these fifteen
years, and / have some curiosity on the
subject"
IL think there may be a mistake
herey' muttered the man, as he began to
back away.
Yes, perhaps there is" she replied with
smile. You probably saw a man go
out of here hour or two ago. That was
my nephew, and you ought to have got
things Straighter."

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal SWeetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absOrbS the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather in
the form of large, pleasant tasting
Iozenges, the charcoal being mixed
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
ton of the general health, better COM
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of it is, that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says: 81 adj
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath, mouth and
throat; I also believe the liver is great
~ benefited by the daily use of them;
they cost but twenty-five cents box at
drug stores, and although in some
sense a patent preparation, yet I be-
lieve get more and better charcoal in
Stuart's Charcoal LozengeS than in
any OF the ordinary charcoal tablets"

shoulder arms with musket! If he's
been passing himself off as a veteran,
then he's simply been stringing you.
Bowser, what have you been up to-"
Mr.. Bowser couldn't reply. He was
too busy swallowing the lump in his
throat and planning a terrible revenge
against the druggist. His demeanor
was proof positive of his guilt, and
after a moment the veterans turned
away with the remark:
1--WE were told that he was an old
b1owhard, but such display of cheek
is unheard off,
Now then,'' said Mr.. Bowser, as the
men departed and the druggist contin-
ued to gurgle, what did you want to
put me in a hole for? You miserable,
