Frisco Good Roads train will give
us an opportunity never before Of
fered, to see for ourselves which are
the best and most practical roads,
how they are made and what they
should cost.
These lectures are given gratis.
Every business man and every

NEW NOMINEES ON
DEMOCRATIC TICKET
Manuel Besteiro for Treasurer, II. j.
Kirk for Alderman in Third Ward
To Replace Withdrawals.

The Democratic Executive Com
mittee of Brownsville filled the va
cancies on the Democratic ticket at
its meeting yesterday afternoon.
Manuel Besteiro was nominated
for city treasurer, in place of Frank
Champion, resigned. and III. j. Kirk
for alderman, third ward, in place
of o. G. Sauder. resigned.
Asked in regard to these nomi-
nations. F. w. Seabury. chairman of
the committee, said; These men
are all right, and they will be elect
ed. The Democratic convention set
good men to Office, and we have tried
to follow suit. Manuel Besteiro
ought to make an excellent city
treasurer. He is well known as one
of the most successful business men
in Brownsville, and enjoys an en-
viable reputation for honesty and
fair dealing. We figure that a city
treasurer ought to have these quail
ifi~catiOns, as we like to feel that the
city's money is safe and will not
be paid out on unlawful warrants.
Mr.. Kirk will make a good aid
erman, and has sufficient leisure to
attend to the city's business.
1--WE are greatly pleased with
these nominations, and we believe
the people will approve them"

Once upon a midnight dreary, while

Through my door there flew a raven
of the days Of nineteen-four-
Flew and looking at me sadly, while
my pulses pounded madly.
Perched upon a bust of Hadley high
above my chamber floor
Perched and muttered "Theo-

Then | seemed to hear the twaddle
of the gentle mollycoddle-
Crash Of rifle in the jungle, and the
rush and slush of gore
Heard | nature faker shouting-saw
a silly gargoyle shouting -
Wealthy malefactors pouting. and
the Ananias corps
All these things and more were con-
iured from the misty days Of yore

by the great phonetic spelling
BY the notes to dear Maria, whom

Some faint CLEAN of understanding
from your melancholy roar."

Will be running soon as candidate

And the portly William Howard

But the raven only glowered high
above my chamber floor
From the plaster cast of Hadley high
above my chamber floor
Flared and muttered "Theo-

And the raven, never quitting
neverflitting-still is sitting
On the plaster east of Hadley high
above my chamber floor;
And his eyes have all the seeming
of a dik-dik's that is dreaming,
And the limelight Ger him stream

And that dark, uncanny shadow,
floating on my chamber floor,
Is an omen-TheodOrei

4 VALUABLE SUGGESTION
IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE

II is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
During the winter months especially,
when we live an indoor life, the kidneys
should receive some assistance when
needed, as we take less exercise, drink
less water and often eat more rich heavy
food, thereby forcing the kidneys to do
more work than nature intended. Evil
dence OF kidney trouble, such as lame
baek, inability TO hold urine, smarting or
burning, brick dust or sediment, sallow
complexion, rheumatism, may be weak
or irregular heart action, warns you that
your kidneys require help Immediately
to avoid more serious trouble.
An herbal medicine containing no
minerals or opiates has the most healing
influence An ideal herbal compound
that has had most remarkable success as
a kidney and bladder remedy is DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root.
You may receive sample bottle of
Swamp Root by mail, absolutely free.

COMPROMISE IN COAL
FIGHT is REPORTED
Operators and Miners Meet at Philadel.
phia to Discuss the Diff
ferences.

Philadelphia, April ll.-When the
joint conference of the operators com.
mittee and the union anthracite miners
representatives opened at / o'clock yes
terday. it was the general impression that
several meetings will be necessary be-
fore settlement is reached.
Both sides go into the meeting out
wardly uncompromising, but it was re-
ported the operators and miners had
agreed to compromise on 10 per cent.
wage increase. Any settlement must be
submitted to the rank and file of the
miners for approval.
Whether an early resumption of work
in the anthracite fields, suspension of
which since April has already resulted
in heavy financial loss, may be ex-
pected, depended, it was held, on the
recognition of the union issue.
President White of the miners stated
that without recognition of the union the
10 per cent. wage increase wouldn't re-
suit in settlement.
The operators came to the conference
direct from a meeting in New York,
which is said to have decided against
recognition. In the conference yester.
day, White pointed out that the meeting
virtually recognizes the union. He ar
CUES that the recognition should be made
real and formal, as in the case of the
bituminous miners.
Despite the avowed antagonism on
this issue, the conferees were optimistic
about an agreement being reached soon.

PAPE'S DIAPEPSIN
FOR BAD STOMACHS
Indigestion, Sourness, Gas, Heartburn Of

Minutes.

pepsia, gastritis or catarrh of stomach
it doesn't mattertake your stomach
trouble right with you to your pharma-
cist and ask him TO open a 50-cent case
OF Pape's Diapepsin and let you eat one
22-grain triangule and see if within five
minutes there is left any trace of your
former misery.
The correct name for your trouble is
food fermentation--food souring; the di-
gestive organs become weak, there is
lack OF gastric Juice; your food is only
half digested, and you become affected
with loss OF appetite, pressure and full
ness after eating, vomiting, nausa, heart
burn, gripping in bowels, tenderness in
the pit Of stomach. bad taste in mouth,
pain in limbs. sleeplessness,
belching Of gas, bliousness, sick head
ache, nervousness, dizziness or many 9th
er similar symptoms.
If your appetite is tickle and nothing
tempts you or you hclch gas or if you
feel bloated after eating, or your food
lies like lump Of lead on your stom-
ach, you can make up your mind that
at the bottom of all this there is but one
cause-fermentation of undigested food
Prove to yourself in five minutes that
your stomach is as good as any; that
there is nothing really wrong. stop this
fermentation and begin eating what you
want without fear of discomfort or mis-
cry.
Almost instant relief is waiting for
you. II is merely a matter of how soon
you take a little Diapepsin.
