There are thousands Of people suffering
every day from rheumatism who can be
cured.
Some continue to suffer because their
doctors have said their cases were
chronic and incurable. Others have
tried many remedies without relief and
have become discouraged.
There are few common diseases that
the medical profession knows less about
than rheumatism. The latest standard
work on the practice of medicine gives
seven theories of the cause Of rheuma-
tism, several experimental systems OF
treatment and says of the chronic form
that it is practically incurable.
The patient who has not tried DR..
Williams Pink Pills has neglected q
remedy for rheumatism that has accom-
plished thousands of cures. 1t is not
theory nor an experiment. The cures
are matter Of record and capable OF

AT THE CITY MARKET.
Fish Scarce, and No Oysters-Bui
Vegetables Abundant.

It has not been possible to pro-
cure oysters in the Brownsville
market for the last few days. Fish
also are scarce, so much so that
none could be had today. What
abounds now in the market is
vegetables of every known local
variety, such as green and ripe to-
matoes, lettuce. carrots, beets,
turnips, okra, young onions, pars-
ley, eggplant, peas and squash.
Occasionally of late there have
been string beans also.
What seems strange to those who
do marketing here is that not
enough eggs are raised to supply
the demand. A few dozen come
to the market every day, and it is
usually lively race to get hold of
them. It is generally a case of
first come, first served.

SOME twenty witnesses have
been summoned from Browns
vile to attend the courtmartial trial
of MAJOR Penrose at Fort Sam
Houston on Feb. 4th. From some
things that have been talked of in
Brownsville since the investigation
by Mr.. Purdy, it appears probable
that there are some negroes who
were living in Brownsville near
the post at the time of the outrage,
who could give some important
testimony relative to talk in the
post before the night of Aug. 18th.
It is not known just where these
people are now, but they might be
found by searching for them. It
Is to be hoped that an honest effort
may be made to sift this matter to
che very bottom, and that there may
6eno withdrawing methods adopt
ed to shield officers from tkeir
actual responsibility in the affair.

New Town of Mercedes

Things are said to be booming at
the new town of Mercedes. The
saIe.of town lots was opened on
Jan. Is, and most of the desirable
lots are said to have been sold al
most Immediately at prices ranging
from $50 to $500. Several build
Ings will be erected very shortly
and a number of business enter
Drises are on foot which will be
opened up there by spring.
The railroad company evidently
believes that Mercedes will be a
town of goodly proportions, as it has
begun the erection of large brick
depot building. which, it is said,
will be copy of the Brownsville
and Kingsville depots.

THE Brownsville country prom
5ses TO rival California in the pro-
duction of English walnuts. The
marvellous growth of the budded
vxalnut trees at the Stillwell nur-
sery near Brownsville last fall gives
evidence of the adaptability of this
region for this particular variety of
nuts, and it is believed that in
about four years these trees will be
Soaring nuts. The principal sup
ply of English walnuts i'll this
country comes from California,
but the supply is not nearly large
enough to fill the demand, and if
4he Brownsville country can pro-
1uce these valuable nuts, of which
there seems no grounds for doubt,
the walnut industry will soon be-
come one of the most important of
all this section.

THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
Outline OfwOrk Accomplished at Recent
Session.

The session on the Cameron
County Teachers Institute which
was held at the court house in
Brownsville this week, ending
Friday, was in many respects one
of the best ever held by the teach
ers of this county. There. were
sixty-two teachers in attendance,
and all seemed to take great inter
est in the work. The work was
ably conducted by Prof. w. 4.
Francis of Harlingen, who was as
sisted by Miss Kate Edwards of
Santa Maria, and Miss Elena Fer
nandez of Brownsville.
A certain amount of time was
devoted each day to text book
work, with good results. Papers
were read at the various daily ses-
sions, as follows: Tuesday
Recitation, Prof. W. A. Francis.
History, Miss Edwards.
Wednesday.-OnTe Teaching Read
ing to Beginners, Miss Fernandez.
Thursday.-The Cooperation of
Home and School, Miss Trevifio.
Method of Teaching History, Miss
Jones.
Friday.-Imported School Laws,
Superintendent of instruction E.
H. Goodrich.
These papers were of great
practical benefit to the teachers,
and will aid them materially in
their work hereafter,
The Institute was closed Friday

THE LEARNERS.
Business Transacted at Meeting, Follow.
ed BY Papers on Pre-EIizabethan
Writers.

4 most interesting and profitable
meeting of The Learners was held
Thursday afternoon, Mrs. A.
Celaya being hostess. The answers
to Roll Call consisted of clippings
from the present day world of
English letters. After the reading
of the minutes, business matters
were considered.
The committees appointed at the
previous meeting not being ready
to report, they were given another
week in which to report. The
committee on work having COM
pleted the outline of the years
work, the result of their labor was
discussed and accepted, with a
slight amendment to the effect that
at the conclusion of each program
should be given time for a general
discussion of the papers read. The
Year Book, which this committee
is preparing, will be ready to pres
ent to the club at the next meeting.
Under unfinished business, came
the consideration of an amendment
to the constitution creating the Of
fee of librarian, which was carried,
and an election held later to fill
the office resulted in the choice of
Miss May Lott as librarian. The
nucleus of the library which the
club expects to accumulate consists
so far in few works on general
literature. Several of the members
have volunteered to present the
club with magazines, which will
be appreciated by all.
The selection of the club flower,
colors and motto was made at this
meeting, the white oleander, being
chosen as the emblem of the club
and green and white for colors,
while the motto chosen is a saying
from the Talmud, as follows:
The aim and object of learning is
moral perfection. "
The literary program for the day
included short sketches on the fol-
lowing groups of pre-Elizabethan
writers; Michael Drayton, Chap
man, Tusser, Wyatt and Surrey,
which were rendered respectively
by Mrs. Kibbe, Miss Fernandez,
Mrs. Goodrich, and Miss Magda-
lena Fernandez. A biography of
Sir Thomas More by Miss Wells
followed. with a paper on More's
Utopia by Mrs. Wheeler.
Answers to questions and discus
sion of papers read concluded the
program.
The club will meet next Thurs
day with Mrs. Creager. The sub
ject for this meeting will be the
early English ballad. Roll Call
response: Names of Ballads.
