Wealthy Mexican Dies, a
in Connecticut.
New York, N. Y., Feb. 12.—Augustin G.
Palacio, 31 years of age, a member of a
prominent family of Durango, Mexico,
committed suicide in a sanitarium at
Savin Rock, West Haven, Conn., ’by cut-
ting his throat. Despondency, induced by
the use of drugs, is believed to have been
the cause.
Palacio’s brother, according to Juan
Navarro, the Mexican consul general in
New York, is F. G. Del Palacio, a wealthy
planter of Durango. Augustin came to
this city a year ago to be treated. Upon
Mr. Navarro’s suggestion he went to- a
Keeley institute at White Plains, but in
November last h© left that place and went
to West Haven, Conn.
Fits of despondency were frequent with
the young man and it was during one of
these, and while shaving, that he took his
life.

a Young Marine at Annapolis
Investigated.
Washington, D. C„ Feb. 12.—The navy
. department has received from Command-
er Richard Wainwright, superintendent
of the naval academy at Annapolis, the
report of the investigation made by him
into the circumstances attending the
death of Hobart Green, a young marine
of Virginia, aboard the Santee. It was
charged that his death was due to neglect
of proper attention during his illness. The
report completely exonerates the-officials
from the charges made. It says that
young Green had every care, medical and
otherwise, which his case demanded; that
there was no exposure to wet or cold; that
he was buried with the usual ceremonies,
with a proper escort accompanying the
remains, and the firing of a volley and
taps over his grave, .and that the burial
services were performed by the chaplain
of the naval academy. The navy depart-
ment officials say there is no further ac-
tion to be taken in the case.

Jack Clark, who was a member of com-
pany B, 1st Texas volunteer infantry, in
the Spanish war, and who' for years ran a
furniture moving van here, is now in
South Africa, and is a corporal in Kitch-
ener’s horse. Jack was drawn to South
Africa by a spirit of’ adventure and; left
for that country as a. •muleteer from. New
Orleans during the early days of the Boer
war. Jack loves a. war fight next to a
bull dog and before he became a son of
Mars he frequently got his name in the
papers by letting one .of hJsTpets practice
the strength of .its ja.w by chewing on his
master’s leg.
But now—that is in December, for :t is
never safe to1 be too positive in assorting
things in rhe present tense when ap-
parently less “than ’alf of the (Boer) bul-
lets fly wide of the ditch”—Jack is or was
enjoying excitement a-plenty and it is a
safe bet to wager that he sometimes'
wishes be could swap his present job Lor
one of training a bull pup for a dog fight.
Here are a few extracts from, a letter
that Corporal! Clark wrote from Pretoria
on Dec. 23, 1900:
“When I received your last letter I had
just come from Rufontein on a Boer horse
I got from a Boer. My horse/ got shot in
the last fight I was in, which took place
in Death’s valley,’ so. called on accour.it
of the number of troops cut up in it. We
camped down the valley about 50 miles
from Pretoria. We knew the evemy was
close by, but did not know they were
strong. Gen. Delary sent us w’ord that if
we did not move within 24 hours he would
shell our camp.

The Germs of LaGrippe Are Con-
veyed Through the Atmospliere.
No one can escape the La Grippe germ
because when an epidemic of the disease
is prevailing the aid is laden with it.
The reason everyone does not have the
disease at the. same time is because the
persons who are enjoying perfect health
are able to successfully resist and throw
off the infection, while those, who. for any
reason are not in the best of health, fall
ready victims.
The first symptoms are those of acute,
catarrh,- resembling a hard cold, and if
prompt treatment is ap-pMed at this, time
it can easily be broken up; one of the
best remedies at this stage is Stuart’s
Catarrh Tablets, sold b^ druggists every-
where, and if taken freely, say one tablet
every hour or two for two. or three days,
the danger of pneumonia, and serious com-
plications will be averted..
The Rev. L. E. Palmer, Baptist clergy-
man of Ceresco., Mich., makes a statement
■of interest to all catarrh and grip suffer-
ers. He says: /'Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets
havo certainly been a Messing to me. I
have used them freely this fall and winter
and have found them a safeguard against
La Grippe and catarrhal troubles from
which I had. suffered for years.. I feel that
I can freely and conscientiously recom-
mend them.”
Persons who suffer from catarrh of the
head and throat are very susceptible to
La Grippe and such will find a pleasant,
convenient and safe remedy in this new
catarrh cure.
Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets are composed
entirely of harmless antiseptics and may
be used as freely as necessary as they
contain no cocaine, opiate' or poison>6s
drug of any kind/.
COMING HOME.
Since the storm of Sept. 8th many hun-
dred people left Galveston (as they put it'
never to come back again), but general ob-
servation shows that a great majority of
them have returned and will stay, as they
find there is no place with so many ad-
vantages for a home as Galveston pos-
sesses. One among the many good things
sought for by the people of the Oleander
City is that celebrated “Cabinet Beer,”
made only by the Galveston Brewery.

Serious news comes from Washington
to the effect that the champions: of the
great ship subsidy grab are using the
river and harbor bill as 'a club to beat
their pet measure through the senate. It
is possible this may be only an empty
threat, but it is also possible that _the
threat may be put into execution.
Galveston has great interest in the river
and harbor bill and its failure would be a.
great blow to this port. But fortunately
many other interests are identified with
the same measure. The river and harbor
bill is not a partisan measure. As a rule
political lines are not drawn in Its con-
sideration. It gathers its force from the
country at large. This force is usually
enough to carry it over any scattered per-
sonal opposition as its ramificaitions are so
broad as to bring to it support from all
quarters. Therefore its friends are hope-
ful in spite of the belligerent attitude of
those who. threaten to throttle the meas-
ure unless their own pet plans of plunder
/ are agreed to. Th© situation, however,
will bear the closest scrutiny. But Gal-
veston may rest content in the fact that
the interestc in the bill will be zealously
guarded and only the failure of the meas-
ure as a. whole can effect her. This is a
contingency hardly to be expected.
American Collar, Cuff and Shirt Com-
pany the Result.
New York, N. Y., Feb. 12.—The Tribune
says: The long talked of syndicate of
Troy, N. Y., collar, cuff and shirt whole-
sale houses is now regarded as a certain-
ty by the manufacturers concerned. No
outside capital will be required to swing
the combination, the name of which will
probably be the American Collar, Cuff and
Shirt company. With the exception of
the following firms, every well known
house in the trade having factories at
Troy will be identified with the new order
of things: Earl & Wilson, William Bark-
er & Co., E. Marvin, Corliss, Coon &
Co., and Einigh & Straub.
Waterbury & Weston of New York are
counsel for the promoters. 'The interests
of those represented aggregate $20,000,000.
Instead of having individual offices in
different cities, a single clearing house
will be established in each market cover-
ing the general business.

New York, N. Y., Feb. 12.—The New
York Red Cross, through William T.
Wardwell, the president, has purchased
for $100,000 a plot of ground adjoining
'Central park, on the west, on which it will
erect a Red Cross hospital.and a home for
Red Cross sisters. The money for the
purchase was raised by private subscrip-
tion, the greater part being given by Mr.
Wardwell, and the money to build the
hospital, which is to cost about $60,000, will
be raised in the same way.

Our officers did not mo-
an outpost that night
men and we found our-
selves cut off at daylight by 700 Boers be-
tween us and campi and I tell you it was
hot. I thought the Bothahill battle a
corker, but it was nothing to the last
flgi.iL. There were 24 men lost in my
squadron out of 75 and the 13th and 14th
of Kitchener’s horse were as bad off.
‘ I was pretty glad to be at r'ol'i call next
morning, lor I saw lots of our men dead
on the field. The imperial yeomanry, the
mounted infantry, the Yorkshire regiment
and the Northumberland fusileers also
lost heavily, especially the fusileers, who
were holding the mountain they were
camped against. Their ammunition gave
out and the ammunition trains sent to
them were driven back, s-o- all the poor
fellows could do' was to charge bayonets,
which they did, driving the Boers ahead
of them, but they lost a lot of men.”
Jack says he is getting £10 a month,
but likes the United States army a great
deal better than, the British, and that it
is summer down there, with the fruit just
ripening. He does not know when he will
get out of service and asks to. be remem-
bered to hisi Galveston friends.
Thursday will be St. Valentine’s day
and the man who sells valentines is in as
much glory today as the dealer of tin
horns on Christmas eve. He. Is as busy
as a bee and if the various dealers in
these articles of affection are tO' be be-
lieved by tomorrow night over 15,0'00
sweetly worded cards, ranging in price
from 5 cents to $5 will have been sent by
the people .of Galveston who have 'hearts
that are still young.
Just when or how the custom, of sending
valentines or'is-inated is a matter of much
dispute, but the theory that it was in-
herited from the festivities of the pagans
ere geod St. Valentine miracously opened
the eyes, of his jailer’s blind daughter,
prior to’ the. time when he was stoned and
then behead,ed in Rome, on Feb. 14, A. D.
207, is generally admitted by a majority
of the writers on this subject.
It is also, highly probable that the .feast
of St. Valentine has undergone the same
evolutions as has Christmas, from a. day
of fast to' a day devoted to those who are
susceptible to Cupid’s smiles.
While the custom of sending valentines
to one’s valentine is not practiced as uni-
versality as was once, the wont, it has by
no means become obsolete, and while the
practice of sending silk stockings and
garters of the days of Mr. Samuel Pepys,
gentleman, in the seventeenth century, is
no. longer the vogue, the dainty crepe pa-
per and highly ornamented celluloid valen-
tines of the present day serve their pur-
pose quite as well as did the tokens of
the long, long ago.
And Jet not those who have led a life of
that strenuousness that their sentimental
natures have become cold and calloused
for one moment think that because they
no longer keep time to Love’s lute the
custom is dead or even dying. In addition,
to the numerous valentines bought—in
some instances a single; youth will pur-

very grateful to you for your kindness
and advice are worth more to a woman than all the
doctors in the world. My troubles began with inflam-
mation and hemorrhages from the kidneys, then
inflammation, congestion and falling of the womb,
and inflammation of the ovaries. I underwent local
treatment every day for some time; then, after nearly
two months, the doctor gave me permission to go
back to work. I went back, but in less than a week
was compelled to give up and go to bed. On break-
ing down the second time, I decided to let doctors
and medicines alone and try your remedies. Before

Compound and a package of Sanative Wash did

medicine. I have gained twelve pounds during the
am better in every way. Thanking you for your
Hrm t voTMoin* Yours gratefully,
“MRS. E. J. GOODEN, Ackley, Iowa.”
