"REFORM."
The late "reform" wave which
lias engulfed our sister county of
Starr has succeeded in "reform
ing" chauging from a human
form to the form of dust five men
aud in deforming two others. Daily
mid hourly on our streets may be
heard embryo "reformers" who
one of these sunny days will per
iance take upon themselves the
task of liberating our poor, down
trodden, long-suffering people, and
of furnishing themselves, together
with the high and noble ideals foJ
which they stand, as saviours for
their dear people. No doubt their
ideals are good and pure and dis
interested, and that they would be
willing to make of their idle time
a total waste in order to bring light
to their benighed and befogged
brethren of the community, and
would perhaps condescend to take
charge of the offices of the county
and country as a means of demon
strating the disinterestedness of
their motives. We reiterate, that
for pure, lofty, disinterested mo
tives, the country has yet to see'
their fellows, but such patriotism
on the part of the highminded few
auust, in all reason, have-'a feeble
reflection in the minds and actions
of the masses. We, the masses,
tnrn our eyes to them in their
lofty places, with thanks and ad
miration little short of reverence,
but in the spirit of patriotism no,
-of regard for them refuse to ask
so mucli of them, refuse, even in
our gieat need, to accept such a
sacrifice at their hands. In some
way yet a while longer will we
worn" along under existing condi
tion and bear the weary load rath
- r than accept of them their noble
rJir. of reform so disinterestedly
"cred .
iu only some of our large land
wn.rs would consent to part with
avc:i a small portion of their hold
ings at reasonable prices to actual
settlers, Brownsville would have
cause to rise up and call them
blessed. Prospectors grow weary
of looking for land in small tracts
near this place. The land looks
good to them; the climate is all
that could be desired; the abund
ance of fresh water at hand in the
Rio Grande offers that essential
element for planting in this sec-
tion; but there are no small farms
offered for sale near here; and after
vainly looking for such, they turn
their steps towards other localities
where the enterprising owners are
welcoming the small farmer and of-
fering him a foothold at reasonable
prices land that is already cleared
and provided with irrigation.

reduce the price of tobacco in con

this predatory trust.
Indians Not Dying Out
i
A popular impression prevails
that the Indians are dying out. j
Those who have given the subject
study believe there are more In-:
dians today in the United States
than there were when Columbus
landed.
The Indians were never popu
lous. They were too much at
war. They roamed the prairies
and hunted through the forests,
but they never had local habita
tions and were never many in one
spot.
The first actual census of the
Indians was taken seventy years
ago. At tliat time mere were
found to be 253,464. Prior to
that time everything had been by
guess.
Beginning with the count of
1830 the official reports of Indian
population are as follows: In 160,
at the beginning of the civil war,
there were 254,000. Twenty years
later, in JSSO, there were 256,127.
In 1900 there were 272,023. Today
by count of the Indian agents on j
the reservations of the country,
there are 2S4.000 Indians.

Finding Relief
It does seem that women have
more than a fair share of the aches
and pains that afflict humanity;
they must "keep up," must attend
to duties in spite of constantly
aching backs, or headaches, dizzy
spells, bearing down pains; they
must stoop over, when to stoop
, means torture. They must walk
and bend and work with racking
pains and many aches from kidney
ills. Kidneys cause more suffering
; than any other organ of the body

It is the fate of the heir apparent
to the throne of Turkey that he
must be kept in ignorance of the
happening in the world. When,
therefore, a doctor is to see him the
physician must submit to greater
suspicion. Being an European, he
may not surreptitiously carry to the
prisoner information which would
enlighten him. When he pays a
professional visit to the harem the
doctor is under still greater sus
picion. Being a European, he may
not see the patient. This makes a
diagnosis difficult. The attendants
stretch a huge curtain across the
room. Behind this the patient
takes her stand, thrusts out her
tongue and hands through the holes
in the curtain, so that the man of
medicine may see one and feel the
other, yet not look on the face of
the person to whom they belong.

Time. Occupied by Dreams.
The time occupied by a dream is
one of the marvels of sleep. In
the work entitled "The Philosophy
of Mystery" we read of a man who
dreamed that he had enlisted as a
soldier; that he had joHed his reg
iment and traveled to a foreign
country; that he finally deserted on
account of the harsh" treatment he
had received at the hands of his
superior officers: that he had been
apprehended ancf carried back to his
regiment; that upon arriving there
he was tried by eourt martial, con
demned to be shot and was led out
for execution. At this moment the
guns of the executioners exploded,
and tho sound awoke the dreamer.
It was clear now that a loud noise
in- an adjoining room had both pro
duced the dream and awakened the
dreamer almost at the same mo
ment. How He Did It.
"How do you do it?" asked one
real estate dealer of -another who
had been boasting of Ins success in
collecting some unusually bad rent
bills.
'""It's the simplest thing in the
world' was the reply. "In most
cases the reason that a man is .be
hind in his rent is because he has
met with a streak of hard luck and
cannot pay. With a fellow like
that I present him with a new suit
of clothes, and that makes him feel
like a new man and gives him tho
courage to go out and get another
job. Then, when he is on his feet
again, he pays me the rent. Of
course I generally lose the clothes
money, but in the long run it is a
good investment." Boston Trav
eler. A Luxury.
Two gentlemen dining in a Xew
York restaurant were surprised to
find on the bill of fare the item,
."green bluefish."
"Waiter," one asked, "what sort
of bluefish are green bluefish ?"
"Fresh right from the water,"
said the waiter offhand.
"Nonsense!" said the man. "You
know well enough they do not take
bluefish at this season."
The waiter came up and looked at
the disputed item.
"Oh, that, sir!" he said, with an
air of enlightenment. "That's hot
house bluefish, sir."
His Choice.
A company of married people
were discussing the day on which
they would be married if they were
making a second venture. "And
what day would you prefer, hubby,
dear?" asked one of the prepossess
ing; looking matrons, turning to her
devoted little mate. With an ab
scntminded I-wish-my-soul-were-my-own
look upon his careworn face
the obedient one replied, "The 30th
day of February, please!" Kansas

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is inflam
ed you have a rumbling sound or imper
fect hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
dure. Send for circulars Jree.
