SUftfiOUNDED BY MYSTERY! A Great Mistake. A recent discovery Is that headache, dizziness, dullness, confusion of tho mind, etc., aro duo to derangement of tho nerve centers which supply tho brain with nerve force; that indigestion, dyspepsia, neuralgia, wind in stomach, etc., arise from the derange ment of tho nerve centers supplying these or gans wit h nerve fluid or force. This is likewise true of many diseases of the heart and lungs. Tho nerve system is like a telegraph system as will bo scon by tho accompanying V- cut.

Bronchitis “When I Wftfl a boy, I had a bronchial trouble of such a persistent and stub born character, that the doctor pro nounced it incurable with ordinary remedies, but recommended mo to try Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. I did so, and one bottle cured me. For the last fifteen years, I have used this preparation with good effect whenever I take a bad cold, and I know of numbers of people who keep it in the house all the time, not considering it safe to be without it. — J.

TEXARKANA, ARKANSAS, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 12, 1894. muat & great SPEECH. The Masterly Effort of the Distin guished Arkansan, Putting Su gar on the Free List, The following are the amendment and extracts from the speech made in support thereof, by which the able representative of this district in the Federal Congress, Hon. T. C, Mcßae, secured the abolition of the ■‘sugar bounty" and placed that important article, in all grades, on the free list: The House being in committee of the whole on the state of the Union, and having under consideration the bill (H. R. 48(14) to reduce taxation, to provide revenue for the govern ment, and for other purposes— The Chairman: The clerk will re port the amendment offered by the gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Mc- Rae). The amendment was read as fol lows:.- "Strike out paragraph 180, on page 28, Schedule E, and insert the following: ‘TJiat so much of the act entitled, "An act so reduce rev.- enue, equalize duties, and for other purposes, approved Oct. 1,1890,” as provides for and authorizes the is sue-of licenses to produce sugar, and for the payment of a bounty to the producers of sugar from beets, sorghum, or sugar cane grown in the United States, or from maple sap produced within the United I States, be, and the same hereby is, ' repealed, to take effect July 1, 1894, and thereafter it shall be unlawful to issue any license to produce su gar Or to pay any bounty for the , production of sugar of any kind un ; der the said act,”’ . Mr. Mcßae said: 1 Mr. Chairman: 1 thank my friend . from Texas, and the committee for j an extension of my time. It is not ’ my purpose at this time to discuss ! the general theory upon which this bill is constructed. All that I have to say about it now is that the free list is not as long and the rates of revenue in the several schedules are not as low as I hoped for, but I know the difficulties under which the Democratic majority of this able and faithful committee has la bored in the preparation of the bill, - and I duly appreciate the perplexi ties that have surrounded them in preparing a tariff bill at a time when the revenues are short, with a large part of the consumers and . importers demanding either a low . tariff or none at all, and the manu ■ facturers as a general thing, insist ing upon free raw material and high duties on their manufactures. It has been a difficult task. The ’ great wonder is that they have suc ceeded as well as they have without ‘ sacrificing that fundamental prin ciple of the Democratic party which denies all constitutional power to impose and collect tariff duties ex cept for the purposes of revenue only, and insists that all taxes should be limited to the necessities sf the government when honestly and economically administered. The committee has proceeded with great caution and conserva tism in the work of reconciling the conflicting interests of these several classes, and they deserve and no doubt will receive the thanks of the country for the manner in which they have performed their work. This bill, if passed, will be the first step in the great cause of tar iff reform and commercial freedomj and as such I will cheerfully support the revenue-raising features of it, and 1 believe that the gentleman from New York [Mr. CockranJ is correct when he says it will increase and not reduce the revenues. Hut, Mr. Chairman, I can not support that provision of the bill which con tinues for 8 years the sugar-boun ty provisions of the McKinley act. The purpose of the amendment I have prepared is to strike out para graph 180 of this bill, which is as follows; * “That the bounties authorized to be paid to the producers of sugar by section 231 of the act entitled ‘An act to reduce revenue, equalize duties and for other purposes,’ ap proved Oct, I 1890, shall be reduced one-eighth of their respective amounts, as prescribed in said act, each year, beginning with July 1, 1895, and extendindto July 1, 1901, inclusive, and shall thereafter cease and determine"— *** * i The Chairman: The question is upon the amendment offered by the gentleman from Arkansas. Tellers were ordered. The committee again divided, and teliere reported ayes 135. nays, 09. So the amendment was adopted. SILVER BILL TO PASS. Only a short session was held in the House on Saturday, although in interest and feeling over the fate of the silver bill was intense. The adjournment, which was taken soon after the House met, was out of deference to the memory of one of its members, Mr. Houk, of Ohio, who died at his hotel in Washing ton on the evening just preceding. Mr. Houk had been at the House all day. and going home commenced work on a speech on the Bland bill. He went out after a while to rest and dropped in to see a , couple of lady friends where he suddenly died. Congressman were very much shocked over his sensational death. When the -House adjourned Con gressman Kilgore had the floor mak ing a speech in favor of the pend ing bill and will continue today. There is dissatisfaction with the measure among the friends of sil ver. Saturday's recess may have been the result of moving much of this. Bland says now he is willing to accept amendments to the bill to popularize it. and the whole silver element is busy devising plans to make it pass the House and Senate and taice weapons out of Cleveland's hands when it gets to him. Th»re were groups of silver men on the floor of the House Saturday morn ing busy discussing what was best to be done. It is thought that the amendments are agreed on and will be offered perhaps today, but what they are has not yet occurred. The men opposing the bill and measure see in this disposition among the silver men to get together the pas sage of the bill. In fact they are free to admit that the bill, if amended, will pass the House, and they are beginning to talk about the President using the veto power. In fact they seem* to have aban doned all hope of beating the meas ure in the House and are equally despondent about the Senate. Bern, To Mr. and Mrs, H. E.

Sat urday’s session of the committee was continued from an early hdur [ in the morning to a late hour at night. Despite the edrnent and L effective efforts of the committee and the great amount of work al ready accomplished by its members there yet remains a great deal more to lie done. In a conversation, on this subject, with a Washington newspaper inan, on Saturday, Sen ator Voorhees, who is certainly in a position to judge acurately, ex pressed himself as being very hope ful and reasonably confident that the bill would be ready for the Sen ate by the last of the present week. In providing the necessary reve nues the committee is endeavoring to touch as few interests as possi ble in making the changes. All the definite reports still hover about the duty on sugar, coal and iron ore, and the tax on whiskey and the income tax. If the income tax is left in the bill it will not be so necessary to put duties on these imports and the members of the sub-committee, including Senator Voorhees, are without exception favorable to the income tax, but there is some difference of opinion as to the expendiency of coupling it with the tariff bill. One of lead ing members of the committee, in reply to a question, siad that an income tax would be voted by the prestent Congress, but added that it was not as yet decided for the tax to be included in the tariff bill reported to the Senate or in a sepa rate bill. The preponderance of opinion about the Senate, however, seems favorable to the retention of the tax on the tariff bill. The whiskey tax is one of the im portant questions not yet decided and efforts are making to secure an extention of the bonded period as well as an increase of the tax. With respect to sugar, Senators Vest and Mills advocate a duty of about a cent. Senator Jones is against any duty whatever on su gar, unless made necessary by the requirements of the condition of the Treasury. This question, like the whiskey tax, still remains an open one about which there is much speculation. LILLIAN LEWIS. To say good by, sweetheart, is not so difficult a matter, but very often it hurts to such an extent that the wound never heals—and such is the case in the play Good Bye Sweet Heart, which Miss Lillian Lewis will present to a Texarkana audi ence, at Ghio's Opera House, on tonight. “Was it not beautiful,” “charm ing indeed,” are the comments made upon the production of this really elegant and attractive drama wherever produced. In this play Miss Lewis plays La Tisba, a beautiful, a good and pure woman, and true as steel. Victor Hugo wrote a great play and as simple as simplicity itself. Miss Lew is a shrewd woman for even this generation of shrewd women -she has studied public taste and deter mined that no production short of a great one would fill her coffers with the golden contents wanted a beautiful dance —splendid cos tumes, and a charming apothosis vision, coupled with fine acting and a great play, are the combined in gredients with which she made a bid for success in the production of Good Hye Sweet H eart. She deser ves success and she receives it, and she is by no means the whole show, as many stars aim to be. She has a splendid company in each particu lar. Matinee "Credit Lorraine" Married. At the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Caffrey, in this city, at 9:30 o'clock yesterday morning, Mr. John Drake, of Texarkana and Mrs. Wil lingham, of Roxton Tex., were un ited in the holy bonds of wedlock, ! Rev. Arthur Higby, of St. James , church officiating. After the ceremony the bridal ' party, and a few intimate friends, ' were invited to partake of an ele gant repast prepared by Mrs. Caf frey and presided over with her ac i customed grace and skill. The contracting couple are both highly esteemed by their friends and acquaintances, The bride is an accomplished and charming lady while the groom is a most excellent and exemp’ary gentleman. The couple will make Texarkana their future home. Good-bye, Sweetheart. A play was presented at the Cap ital Theatre last evening, which really is worthy of being called a great drama. Miss Lillian Lewis and the company which supports her were the exponents of this re markably excellent play, and ‘Good bye, Sweetheart' was the title of the play. It'i* a story of the goo*i side of humanity. There are no villians and there is no Machiavel ian cunning in it. There is no de bauchery and infidelity, but there is plenty of simplicity and goodness and honesty and nobility. It makes one feel good to see such a play,and confirms one in the belief that the skeptic and 'the pessimist are on the wrong side of the fence of the I‘Jth century social code. The dialogue fairly sparkles with epigram and wit, and there is not a scintilla of a suggestion which would denote a double meaning. “Good-bye, Sweet heart" teems with good nature and purity, and is an eloquent witness that loudly testifies that a strong play can be written without dig ging into the muck of our existence. We do not need the ever-present spectacle of sin and degradation to make us know that evil comes from evil when we can have the spectacle of knowing that good comes from good. Miss Lillian Lewis has a part in this play which fits her admira bly, and she plays it with an artist ic grace of the highest order. The company is a strong one, and its se lection demonstrates the wisdom of Mr. L. Marston as a most keen sighted manager.—[Arkansas Ga zette. This excellent company will be at Ghio’s opera honse, in this city, tonight. _ Arkamns Building & Loan Aaa’n. Mr. Robt. F.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK. > — Trade Generally Has Increased, But not so Much as Expected. Bradstreet’s latest trade report, published in New York city Satur day reads as follows: Unfavorable features in general merchandise lines are conspicuous in reaction in the raw wool market following the spurt given sales of that staple, particularly of Boston in the proceeding two weeks, when the quantity sold exceeded 7,000,- 000 pounds; and in the appearance of unseasonable weather South and i West and reports from Baltimore , that general trade for February opens disappointingly, results being smaller than expected. There are forty odd resumptions of import ant industrial establishments this week contrasted with the announc ments of the shutting down of only six similar concerns. Au easier wool market at home, emphasized by a weaker market at London, may be contrasted with the fair jobbing movement in general dry goods among leading houses at Eastern centres, which report the volume of trade for January fair, notwith standing sales were in small lots. A favorable surprise is in result of the public sale of home and foreign silks in New York, prices paid in stead of resulting in a loss, as pre dicted, furnishing a fair margin of profit, and pointing out the willing ness of dealers to replenish stock in advance of immediate demands. There is a gain also in movement of men's wear woolen from Eastern centres and the increased demand for steel billets at Pittsburg and Chicago is such that prices are nearly, if Hot quite $1 a ton higher and more than $4(1,000 pounds of steel have been contracted for. Demands for rods, wire and nails had increased as well and some mills have refused further orders at cur rent prices. Sales of Southern pig iron have increased at the West. Exports of wheat from both coasts flour included, amounted to 2.678,- 000 bushels, a moderate gain over last week, when the total was 2,083- 000 bushels, but a much smaller total than one or two years ago, when the aggregates were respec tively 3,931,000 and 3,641,000 bush els.
