The chief cause of Constipation and
Indigestion is a weakness of the Muscles
that contract the Intestines and Bowels.
Cascarets are practically to the Bowel
Muscles what a Massage and Cold Bath
are to the Athletic Muscles.
They stimulate the Bowel Muscles to
contract, expand, and squeeze the Diges-
tive Juices out of food eaten.
They don’t help the Bowels and Liver in
such a way as to make them lean upon
similar assistance for the future.
This is why, with Cascarets, the dosa
may be lessened each succeeding time
instead of increased, as it must be with all
other Cathartics and Laxatives.

I contracted a severe cold,
my kidneys in a very weak
and disordered condition. I suffered
severe pains across my back extending
up through my shoulders. These pains
became so severe that I could not stoop
oi lift anything without enduring the
most agonizing shooting pains. I had
no appetite and was failing in general
health. I saw Doan’s Kidney Pills ad-
vertised and decided to try them. I
procured a box at Schott’s drug store
and could feel a great change for the
better immediately after taking the
first few doses. I only used the one
box, which completely cured me, and I
have not suffered since from any form
of kidney disorders. I highly recom-
mend Doan’s Kidney Pills to others suf-
fering from similar trouble.”

San Antonio, Tex., May 19.—Bum play-

playing by Galveston lost Sunday’s game
to the Sandcrabs by a score of 4 to 2.
Both Dolan and Christian pitched good
ball, and if they had been given good sup-
port the game would have been a fast
one.
Despite the fact that Galveston is cred-
ited with four errors, the fielding of the
team at times wa's of a brilliant nature.

cepted them all.

clerks in the assessor’s office in going
over the charts, looking up veal estate

property.
Mr. Nichols stated that he had given
the assessment matter much considera-

property along the basis which appealed
to him as being fair.

Austin, Tex., May 20.—While all corpo-
rations doing business in Texas Will ..be
materially affected by the various laws
passed during the regular and special
sessions of the thirtieth legislature, it is
believed that the railroads of the state
have been hit harder than any other
class of corporations, and it remains to
be seen whether these corporations will
be able to stand the burden which has
been placed on them in the way of taxa-
tion and other measures. The railroads
of Texas are, or will be, affected by near-
ly a dozen of the acts which were passed
by the thirtieth legislature, and it is esti-
mated that it will cost the railroads sev-
eral million dollars more annually to keep
up under these new laws. It is said that
this will mean nothing more nor less
than cessation of material improvements
and betterments on the trunk lines of
Texas.
First Comes the headlight bill passed
during the regular session. This bill re-
quires all the railroads in the state to be
equipped with electric headlights,
will cost the railroads of the state ap-
proximately $1,000,009 additional expense.
It is said that on two of the lines
the state—the Galveston, Harrisburg
San Antonio railway and the Texas
New Orleans railway—the sum of $65,000
to equip their locomotives with these
headlights will have to be expended.
It is estimated that the operation of
the full crew bill bassed during
ular session will increase the
on the two lines given above about $92,000
land.

Two Trainloads Were Taken to Dickinson
Yesterday—Enjoyable Time.
Favored by a pleasant day, the Order
of Railway Clerks, Local No. 18, held its
annual picnic on the Dickinson grounds
yesterday, which was one of the most
enjoyable and largest attended affairs
given this season.
Two special trains, leaving at 8.30 a. m.
and 2 p. m., respectively, were crowded
with gay picnickers bound for the picnic
grounds, where they enjoyed a most
a year.
On these same two roads it is estimated
that the eight-hour bill will increase the
expenses in the neighborhood of $80,000 a
year. It is hard at. this time to estimate
with any degree of accuracy the increased
expenses occasioned by the passage of
the 14-hour bill. The ultimate result, how-
ever, will be the establishment of termi-
nals approximately every 100 miles and
the absolute abandonment of many of the
present terminals of the railroads and
particularly the lines mentioned can not
afford to have the trains tied up on the
Land for new
terminals, construction of tracks and pro-
viding of additional and adequate water
supplies, which is difficult In .the western
part of the state, will cost approximately
$1,500,000.
These measures does not include the
tax measures passed by the special ses-
sion. The railroads come within the pro-
visions of the intangible tax law and it
is estimated that the additional taxes
which they will be required to pay, will
be approximately $1,750,000 in excess of
the taxes now paid.

“Particularly in the morning I

New York, May 20.—True to its tradi-

Fifteen of the best horses in

twelve of these will contest the race. Such
well known performers as Go Between,

are among the entries and considered sure
starters. So close together in racing par-
lance is the form of these horses that it

Chicago, May 20.—A dispatch to
Tribune from Washington, says:
There will be no decrease in
prosperity of the country or recurrence
of the panicky conditions in Wall street
if the administration can prevent. All
branches of the government, taking
their cue from the president, are acting
energetically and harmoniously to
maintain the existing satisfactory
state of affairs.
The president himself, in the speech
he will deliver at Indianapolis next
week, will address himself to reassur-
ing the public as to the value of rail-
road securities and will state emphati-
cally that in the matter of railroad
manipulation he proposes to let by-
gones be bygones and only endeavor to
secure reforms to prevent a continuance
of evil practices
Secretary Cortelyou is following the
market with closest attention and is
prepared to furnish treasury support
should the exigencies require.
Secretary Wilson has sent three ex-
perts' to southern Kansas and Oklahoma
to investigate the damage done to the
wheat crop and is prepared to furnish
a parasitical insect to destroy the de-
vastation, but such action is reported
to be unnecessary.
The secretary is giving attention also
to general conditions and wherever
possible to facilitating the growth <>f
crops.
In the department of commerce and
labor Secretary Straus made arrange-
ments for increasing, immediately after
the beginning of the fiscal year, inves-
tigations into trade conditions abroad,
in order to provide new markets for
American products. His effort is being
assisted by Secretary of State Root,
who, now that he has settled tem-
porarily the tariff differences with Ger-
many, is arranging to effect there a
permanent disposition in the treaty of
reciprocity which will be submitted to
congress for ratification at the coming
session. The secretary also proposes [
to enter negotiations with France and
China for a determination of commer-
cial questions.
Altogether Washington rarely has
seen such activity in order to conserve
the prosperity of the country.
placed by them upon their property Is
a true statement of their worth.
As is common practice in all coun-
ties of the state, Galveston county tax-
payers have, prior to McDonald’s edict,
rendered their nroperty at about 50 per
cent valuation, and the statement of
County Tax Assessor Nichols that they
would not be received henceforth on
that basis caused many to leaye the of-
fice without rendering any assessment
whatever upon their property.
In the event assessments are not ren-
dered upon property by the taxpaying
owners, up to the time of closing the
tax assessor’s books to assessment tak-
ing on May 31, it then becomes the
duty of the board of equalization, or
county commissioners, to place such
assessment upon that property as they
deem right.
In some instances, County Assessor
Nichols states, property has not been
rendered for assessment at as high a
percentage as that rendered by other
property owners surrounding or ad-
joining it and not in keeping with the
assessor’s appraisement of property in
that block. ,
The purpose of the charts, with valu-
ations of each block noted upon it by
the county assessor, is to cover such
questions as may come before the board
of equalization, and is materially to
assist that board at arriving at assess-
ments when, as stated, no assessment
has been made.
Under the law as interpreted by
State Revenue Agent McDonald, it is
necessary for tax assessments to be
sworn to by the property owners, and
some time past County Assessor Nichols
stated he was doing nothing in the way
of seeing that full valuations were ren-
dered, with the exception of carrying
out that part of McDonald’s order.
It is interesting to note, with regard
to th© appraisements placed upon city
property by County Assessor Nichols,
that such appraisements are not placed
at full valuation. Mr. Nichols stated he
had attempted to arrive at a fair valu-
ation.
In this connection he has, in apprais-
ing property, appraised all inside lots
in the out-of-town districts at one price
For corner lots in that
cent additional of the
valuation placed on the inside lots Is
added.

Manager Weikart and
crew returned home this
a long eighteen-day trip around the cir-
cuit. Two games were prevented by rain
and sixteen played, four of the latter vic-
tories. This is a good average in such
an evenly balanced league as this. The
boys started off badly on the trip, with
players sick and pitchers out of shape,
but. even at that played their opponents
pretty close scores. But when they hit
Austin they pulled themselves together,
and at San Antonio did their prettiest by
beating the leaders two out of three games
and climbing out of last place. With nine
straight games on their own grounds,
three at Houston and then a return home
for sixteen straight, the Crustaceans
ought to be pretty well on top when they
start northward again. Billy Disch re-
turned with the boys this morning and
will be here for all summer.
Old Sorrel Top Brook Gordon and his
dangerous'- bunch of Senators got in on
the same train this morning and will be
the visiting side of this afternoon’s argu-
ment, which starts at 5.10 p. m. Bailey is
to pitch for the Senators, with Torrey or
Clark performing for the Crabs.
