DEMOCRATIC TICKET
For United States Senate-Gov. J. c. ". Beckham
The bill offered to reduce rail

The bill offered to reduce rail-
road passenger rates is one that
will fall sweetly on the ears of
many, but to study the necessi-
ties of this state, to be in touch
with the real conditions, to know
of the vast undeveloped re-
sourses, the waste place that
need touching up and the present
facilities for accomplishing these
things we can not see why any
one would desire to further cramp
and impair the handspring of
development. Kentucky needs
more railroads and better equipp-
ments, both for passengers and
freight, and the Legislature
shouldlnot follow a wave of SEN
timent, as it were, but look for
the real needs and the best means
of advancement. To our mind
such a measure as the one pro-
posed is the height of folly and
should it ssbecome a law retard
developments in this state for
years, or so long as such dis
eliminating laws remain. The
Newssdoes not believe in ad-
vancing the interest of one class
or business at the expense of
another, but insists on a fair,
square deal for all. No set of
men can outline the receipts of
the future, in any business, be-
cause conditions change, and
every business that tends to de-
velopment should be as free as
possible to take care of itself un-
der changing conditions. Should
rates become exorbitant or service
fail to keep up, there will be am
pie time for restrictive or stimu-
lating laws. but so long as we need
more railroads and better SER
vice, and so long as the roads are
extending their lines and better
ing the service we do not need
any check. I'VE favor more roads
at present rates. It is not the 3
cents a mile that burdens our
peoplessand holds lour prosperity
in check, but the lack of the
miles.

Kentucky for Texas the 18th,
and arrived at Gatesville, Texas,
the Goth, we secured a hack, and
then drove 81 miles in the coun-
try. AS our baggage did not
reach Gatesville until the 21st,
we were compelled to wait there
a day and night.
A dreadful hard rain made our
trip out in the country very I'M
pleasant on account of the mud,
which would cause the hack
wheels to be almost solid at
times. But this mud does not
last long then the roads are as
nice and dry as a pike.
Taking every thing into con-
sideration, Texas certainly is a
fine place. The land is some
what broken in Hamilton county,
yet nothing to compare with
Adair. The soil is very rich, and
the most of it can be cultivated.
Wood and water are plentiful,
and the sociability of the people
can not be surpassed. People we
never heard of take the greatest
pains in showing us all the hos
pitality possible. There are
quite a number of Kentuckians
scattered here and there over
Texas, and four of our closest
neighbors are from Kentucky,
namely; Messrs. Lyle Schooler,
Jas. Arnett, John Monday and
Flick Rocker, all from Adair
and Green counties,
We are only eight miles from
Hamilton, the county seat, which
is very convenient, and since our
arrival the rail road, has been
completed to that point.
Mr.. Cephus Keltner, of Nc
Gregor, and his father, former
Kentuckians, spent a few days
in our community.
Much love to all my friends,

WhenFmen seeking work and
finding none, without means to
meet the expenses of keeping
soul andI body together, are
forced to beg bread, the situation
is alarming. Such is the case in
the crowded scenters and if en-
ployment can not be furnished
at least bread should be given.
The following statement gives a
glimpse of the situation:
Buffalo, N. Y, Jan. 3O.-The
office of the superintendent of
the mills at West Seneca was be-
sieged to-day by 500 men beg
ging for food. The part suspen-
sion of the steel and iron indus
try there has caused much suf-
fering among the foreign labor
ers. Four men were taken to
the county hospital suffering
from starvation. The Town
Board will hold a meeting to-
morrow to adopt measures of
relief.

Relief is not cure; opium will stop
the most circulating pain, but it
won't cure the disease.
And it's just the same with al
legged dyspepsia cures which contain
pepsin. The pepsin will help to di-
gest the food, but the stomach is
left in worse condition than it was
before.
You don't want pepsin 20 digest
your food: you want the natural jul
ces of your stomach to digest your
food. If you have dyspepsia or any
stomach trouble, you want 10 make
your stomach so strong that it will
digest its own food.
You can make your stomach so
strong that you can eat what you
want and all You want any lime you
want it, without distress.
Mi-o-na will cure your dyspepsia
or any other stomach trouble by
building up the flabby walls and
making the stomach so strong that
it will digest food without artificial
aid.
In other words, Mi-o-na cures
dyspepsia by removing the cause.
Hood & Curtin are the agents for
Mi-o-na in Waxahachie and they say
to every reader of the Light whose
stomach is weak, who has indiges-
ton or dyspepsia, that Mi-o-na is
guaranteed to cure or money back.

Deafness Cannot he Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
ipflamed condition of the mucuous
lining OF the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing. and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be dest royed
forever; nine cases out OF ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case OF deafness (caused
by catarrh) that cannot be cured by
