Bean that w’as said to have held an in-
quest on the body of a.n unknown man
found in his, precinct, and, finding on the
corpse a pistol and $40 in cash, found the
dead man guilty of carrying a concealed
weapon and fined him $40, which was
forthwith collected from the pockebof the
offender. Throughout his career, Judge
Bean was noted for his rare interpreta-
tions and applications of the law, but it
is not related' that he was ever unjust or

GOOD ADVICE.
Austin Statesman.
The members of the Twenty-eighth
legislature need not get excited or nerv-

on April 1. Keep cool, peg away sys-
tematically, and you will be able to lay

HOPE TO SAVE THEIR CHARTERS.
Masonic Lodges Which Admitted Bad
Characters Have Some Chances.
■New York, N. Y„ March 25.—While Ma-
sonic lodges in which have been found un-
desirable members will be thoroughly
purged, it is thought by Masons generally
that these bodies will not necessarily be
obliterated. Even Doric lodge, which at
least has temporarily lost its charter, will
not be kept beyond the pale. The cleansing
process, however, will be extended
throughout the state and more than 800
lodges will be concerned. Grand Master
Crandall is collecting evidence which will
soon be used-in the case of the men re--
sponsible for the admission of “Shang”
Draper into Doric lodge. It is believed if
these men are found guilty they will be
driven from the order.

return to Cleveland as soon as the pa-
tient’s condition will permit.

No good house keeper ever neglects Spring cleaning. /
With plenty of soap and water, hard scrubbing and scour- 7 $
ing, sunlight and air, she soon gets rid of all rubbish,
musty odors, germs and microbes, and the dust and
dirt that have accumulated during the long winter
months. But when the house has been put in order,
and the premises cleared of all old plunder and trash,
the great majority of house keepers feel that Spring
cleaning is over, and forget that their systems may be in a worse condition than the house,
and that the bad feelings, debility, loss of appetite, nervousness and sleeplessness from which
they are suffering are due to neglect of the.more important and necessary work of Physical
house cleaning. A clean house does not insure against disease, but a clean system does.
The poisons and humors engendered within the body, the waste matter that is clogging
the system and contaminating and vitiating the blood, are far more dangerous to health
than the dirt and dust of our homes. In the winter time we give free rein to our appetites,
and eat more and oftener than is for our good. We inhale the polluted air of badly ventilated
offices and rooms, take little or no exercise, and our bodies become a veritable hot-bed of
disease-bearing germs, and our blood is loaded with impurities and poisons of every conceiv-
able kind; and no wonder that Spring time is so often Sick time and finds us in such poor
physical condition, with vitality slowly wasting away, our digestion impaired, the liver torpid,
and all the bodily organs over-worked and out of repair. Unless our systems are given a
thorough cleaning, and the blood purged and purified, the simplest malady may develop into
some serious disorder or end in chronic invalidism, and often the pent-up impurities, poisons
and humors break out through the skin, and all through the Spring and Summer you are
tormented with boils, itchy rashes, sores, bumps and pimples, and all manner of ugly
pustular and scaly eruptions.
Physical house cleaning should begin with the blood. It must be purified and strength-
ened, and when a stream of pure, rich blood is turned iq^all the nooks and corners of the
system, the rubbish and disease-producing poisons are washed out, and the congested
channels and avenues of the body are opened, and Physical house cleaning is made thorough
and complete. S. S. S. cleanses the blood of taints and poisons and expels the waste and rub-
system. It is to the system what soap and water are to the house. Nothing
else so quickly removes the stubborn, deeply-rooted
poisons and humors that are destroying the purity of
the blood and blocking the avenues of health and life.^
A course of S. S. S. now will put your system in
perfect order and fortify you against the debilitating
diseases and aggravating skin troubles that are sure to
come if your physical welfare has been neglected,
only the best of all blood purifiers, but an unequalled tonic and appetizer.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, M’CH 25, 1903.
GALVESTON JETTIES.
It is to be hoped that when. Col. Riche
gets to Washington he will be able to
make it clear to the war department that
there should be no more delay in the mat-
ter of repairing the Galveston jetties and
that the work should not be contracted
for in a, way which will entail any un-
necessary delay in completion. It would
be extremely unfortunate if it were so
tied up that its completion would depend
upon the completion of some other project
before the Galveston work was under-
taken.
The appropriation to fill in the breaks
made in the jetties by the big hurricane
has been available for nearly a year.
There Is need of some haste in this mat-
ter if the the interests of the port are to
be conserved. The custom house records
show that the size, of vtessels trading here
is constantly growing. What •would have
been a large ship a few years ago is a
small vessel now and what was once con-
sidered a deep laden vessel is now hardly
a matter of notice. The coming of the
Rock Island will increase greatly the ex-
ports of grain a,nd deep water is neces-
sary for grain ships. Grain puts a vessel
down to her marks, while cotton does not,
and more water is required for a grain
ship than would be required for the same
vessel loaded with cotton. It will require
some time to stop all the breaks in the
jetties and it is to be hoped this will be
considered in awarding the contract and
the work will be vigorously pushed. Now
that bids have been received and recom-
mended for acceptance by the engineer in
charge it would seem that the interests
of the port should be considered and the
work commenced as speedily as possible.
The day when 25 feet of water on the bar
was enough for all commercial purposes
of the port has passed. We should pot
be satisfied with less than 30 feet and if
the size of ships continues- to grow it will
not be many years before even deeper
water will be necessary.
Aside from the requirements of com-
merce it should not be forgotten that Ad-
miral Higginson refused to bring his ships
in here owing to the alleged insufficiency
of water on the bar. The navy has great
use for a port here and no time should be
lost in this work, which means to much
to the country both in peace and in war.
Every indication points to the continued
growth of the port and it should not be
held back and retarded by any unneces-
sary questions as to who shall and who
shall not do the work for which congress
has long ago appropriated the money. The
contract should be kept clear of other
projects if valuable time would be sa,ved.
Ex-Attorney General Griggs is now kept
busy defending the trusts from the anti-
trust law, which, he says, was intended
to apply only to individuals. These law-
yers, as the old negro put it, “ketch ’em
a-comin’ an’ a-gwine.”
American fruit is in greater demand in
Europe than ever. The nobility over there
are especially fond of our peaches—when
the dots are large enough.
Between the Southern Pacific, the “iSap”
and the new Rice Belt line, riding between
Galveston and San Antonio will be
cheaper than walking.
Prohibition towns in Texas are making
progress toward establishing zoological
gardens. Most of them already have blind
tigers.

A CHANGE FOR ALL.

Here’s a good Chance for some of our
office seekers. The postmaster at Keo-
kea, island of Maue, Hawaii, has resigned,
and the fourth assistant postmaster gen-
era,! so far has been unable to find any
one who will take the place. The salary
is $2 a year. The retiring official, David
Kaphokoakimohkeweonah, is a, lineal
descendant of the great King Kalitapo-
kamikokiweatoha who. according to tra-
dition, was “very fond of missionaries”
and partook of a good many.
KIRBY’S PAPER MILL.

The newspapers of Texas ought to in-

up his anti-trust paper mill and offer
battle to the paper trust. If Mr. Kirby
makes paper in Texas out of shavings,
he ought to be able to sell it to the coun-
try press at a rate that would make them
appreciate more keenly than ever real,
live competition tor the trusts.

Chicago, Ill., March 25.—The Chronicle
today says:
Jews who migrate to the United States
and come to- Chicago to make their homes
were invited to continue their journey
westward if the plans of the Chicago Re-
moval Industry society, which was organ-
ized last night, succeed.
Chicago Jews expect the movement to
result in great good. They say the con-
gested district of the Ghetto will be re-
lieved and that the Jews will be urged to
seek homes in the country, in the villages
and small cities of the w-est.
The organization’s New York office will
be established in the Ghetto district. Cor-
respondence with members in the smaller
cities and villages will be conducted and
an attempt will be made to secure posi-
tions for the Jews who would like to leave
Chicago.
AFTER WATER
FROM YOSEMITE
San Francisco Trying to Get Its
Aquaeous Supply From That
Great Valley.
New York. N. Y„ March 25.—Hon.
Franklin K. Lane, recently a candidate
for' governor of California and the city
attorney of San Franciso, is in New York.
His mission in coming east is to secure
from the department of the interior the
right to use two reservoir sites in the
Yosemite National-spark as a source of
water supply for San Francisco. Appli-
cations were ma.de for these sites two
years ago by the mayor, but were re-
jected. The: city now renews the applica-
tion in its own name. If they are granted
the water supply will be owned by the
municipality.
Plans and estimates' have already been
made which call for an expenditure of
$40,000,000. In general outline the scheme
is to hold by- the great reservoir the waste
flood waters of the Tuolumne river, and
by canals* and pipes carry the. water
across the San Joaquin valley and under
San Francisco ba<y, a distance of 140 miles.
The new charter of San Francisco
makes it mandatory that the question of
the municipal ownership of the water
supply shall be submitted to the vote: of
the people, and it was in conformity with
the direction that the plans for the
Tuolumne project have been made.
- CIVIL SERVICE EXTENSION.
Under Now Order Will Embrace All Not
Workmen or Laborers.
Washington, D. C., March 2'5.—Under the
revision of the civil service rules that take
effect on April 15 it is announced today the
classified service will be extended to all
positions which are subject to classifica-
tion un^er the civil service act. The clas-
sified service hereafter will embrace all
places which are not mere laborers or
workmen or not subject to confirmation
by the senate.
The number of places excepted from ex-
amination have been reduced, omitting a
large number of private secretaries and
confidential clerks, although two private
secretaries are allowed to heads of depart-
ments. Shipping commissioners, various
superintendents, engineers, examiners and
miscellaneous positions also have been
made subject to examination. Temporary
appointments will be restricted both in
number and duration.

The instinct of modesty natural to
every woman is often a great hindrance
to the cure of womanly diseases. Women
shrink from the personal questions of
the local phy-
sician which
seem indelicate.
The thought of
examination is
abhorrent to
them, and so
they endure in
silence a condi-
tion of disease
which surely
progresses from
bad to worse.
It has been
Dr. Pierce’s
privilege to cure
a great many
women who
have found a
refuge for mod-
esty in his offer
of free consulta-
tion by letter.
All correspond-
ence is held as
strictly private
and sacredly
confidential.

Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Pre-
scription estab-
lishes regularity, dries weakening drains,
heals inflammation and ulceration, and
cures female weakness.
«Having used Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip-
tion and 'Golden Medical Discovery’ during
the past year,” writes Mrs. Mattie Long, of
Pfouts Valley, Perry Co., Pa., "I can truthfully
recommend these medicines for all female weak-
nesses, I have used several bottles of 1 Favorite
Prescription,’ which I consider a great blessing
to weak women. I was so nervous and dis-
couraged that I hardly knew what to do. Your
kind advice for home treatment helped me won-
derfully. Thanks to Dr. Pierce.”
Biliousness is cured by the use of Dr.
Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets.

connection with the recently formed Dic-

respondent of the 'Tribune. A wealth of
Dickensiana, will be on view, notably the
sun dial which showed the time of day in
the garden at Gadshill, the writing desk
which the novelist took with him to
America and the wooden midshipman of
“Dombey and Son.” There is also a page
of manuscript of “Pickwick Papers,” de-
scribing the wedding breakfast at old
Wardle’s. It is believed to be the only
portion of the manuscript existing in
'Great Britain, but another fragment is in
the possession of an American collector.
