ANOTHER COUNCIL HEN ON.
San Antonio April 14 1888.
Dally Light:
Mayor Callaghan Dr. Braunnagel and
City Collector Haueisen will go to Mon-
terey Mexico in a few days for the ben-
efit of their health. Aiderman Schreiner
will then be mayor (pro tern.) He is
one of the committee on streets and
bridges. Aiderman Conner is authority
for tbe statement that the committee on
streets and bridges will at tbe next
meeting of the council refer tbe matter
of tbe extension of Mill street back to
the mayor with power to act. He bad
it in his bands a whole year but failed
to act in compliance with the wishes of
tbe petitioners. Aiderman Schreiner is
opposed to opening the street; in fact
the strongest antagonist in tbe matter
referring the petition back to tbe mayor
means placing tbe matter in tbe bands
of Akerman Schreiner when In fact
the proper place for it is the committee
on public improvements. Why the
petition should be referred to the mayor
and from one committee to another ex-
cept tbe proper committee back again
to the mayor to land in tbe bands of its
principle opponent is a question for
Conner Scbriener and Mayor Callaghan
to answer. Yours truly Hidalgo.

Wonderful Cures.
A. Drehs wholesale and retail druggist of
San Antonio Tex. says: "Wo have been sell

ters and Bucklen’s Arnica Salve for four

as well or give such universal satisfaction.
There have been some wonderful cures effect-
ed by these medicines in this city. Several
cases of pronounced consumption have been
entirely cured by use of a few bottles of Dr.
King’s New Discovery taken in connection
with Electric Bitters. We guarantee them
always. Sold bv A. Dreiss. 1-9-ly
The Whole Vital Machinery
Depends for the fuel which; is the origin of
its propulsory force upon the stomach. In
that hidden alembic the food undergoes the
chemical changes which transmute it into
blood from which the system draws the
material that reimburses it for its daily losses
of tissue. These of course are greatly
augmented in disease. It the stomach there-
fore is weakened or disordered the system is
deprived of sustenance. Hostetter’s Stomach
Bitters can be relied upon to facilitate and
renew digestion when that function lias been
interrupted by weakness of the stomach.
Biliousness or a diversion of the bile from its
proper channel which causes constipation is
also remedied by it. Heartburn wind on tbe
stomach sick headache fur upon the tongue
and other symptoms of stomach and liver dis-
order it speedily removes. Malaria complaints
of every sort kidney and bladder troubles
constipation rheumatism ana neuralgia yield
when it is used regularlp and persistently.
A MAN WHO WILL BE MISSED.
Dr. Frank Fanning tbe genial mag-
netic bealer in whom San Antonio
evidently takes more stock than she
does in railway subscriptions and smelt-
er bonuses took his departure for Hous-
ton yesterday very much to tbe regret
of scorea who were anxious to have bls
powerful hand of healing laid upon
them. Frank Fanning is a magnet in
more senses than one. and that truth
has been abundantly demonstrated dur-
ing tbe months he has been in this city
giving out from his own vitalizing life
currents those healing streams by which
so many have been restored to health
and physical soundness. The great
secret of Dr. Fanning's popularity lies
in bis unobtrusiveness in the trans-
parency of bls nature in tbe
entire absence of all pretension in
tbe ingrain sincerity and honesty of the
man. These characteristics are appa-
rent to the most casual observation. Tbe
Impression of this truth upon everyone
who meets '.him is instant and vivid.
These traits are recognized In this city.
They have commended him during the
long months of bis practice here to our
best citizens whose hospitality has been
tendered him tn marked friendliness.
Social distinction testimonials of re-
gard receptions valuable gifts suitably
inscribed these and many ether things
attest tbe high esteem and genuine re-
gard in which be is held here In San
Antonio wbere be is so well known
and wbere be is claimed as a citizen.
His large frame and fine physique are
only the outward and visible signs of an
inward largeness of heart and sym-
pathy of nature to which few can
lay claim. The personal relatione
existing between the doctor and bls pa-
tients are peculiarly close from tbe very
nature of his treatment and it ie a mark
of tbe innate nobility of the man that the
most refined and cultured of our citizens
come from under his hands eo strongly
Impressed not only with his marvel-
loust powers of healing but also with
his great gentleness of manner bls in-
exhaustible patience and deep sympa-
thy. No higher tribute could be paid
any man than these persons pay Dr.
Fanning. As of old it 18 aaked whence
hath this man this power? and as of old
tbe answer comes not. Without pre-
tension of any sort disclaiming any
knowledge of materia medica and but
little of anatomy wrapped in no Bbroud
of mystery but open as the day
genial as sunlight companionable
as humanity itself he is open
to approach and welcomes al'.
In quiet unostentatiousness be lays his
band of healing band as broad as that
of providence almost upon tbe seat of
pain and the agony that murders peace
and crucifies sleep dies out at bis touch;
the palsied limbs receive strength; tbe
unused and stiffened joints come into
wonted play: the stagnant currents of
life in tbe deep recesses of tbe body re-
sume their flow; the blood courses
strongly through veins that fluttered
feeble pulses but an hour since; tbe
bloom of health is restored to wan
cheeks and pale emaciated faces; the
brightness shines again in dull despair-
ing eyes and a miracle of healing is per-
formed. No greater gift could nature
give to mortal than this gift of healing.
No higher ministry in life is there than
to become tbe wise dispenser
of such gifts. Dr. Fanning closes
his work in San Antonio and
goes to Houston. He carries with him
the very best wishes of hundreds In this
city and the sincere regrets of those
who yesterday thronged hie office in
the unavailing attempt to secure treat-
ment at bis hands. Even a giant frame
like bis needs rest and if ever mortal
did need it that man was Frank Fan-
ning when he closed his work in this
city.
Ballou Retracts.
Lieut. Ballou who wrote the slander-
ous letters concerning San Antonia has
publicly retracted in the same paper
the worst part of hie charges in a manly
way. The Lieutenant has acted wisely
for he was under arrest and would have
been court-martialed. As it is he has
been released and it Is more than prob-
able that nothing more will be beard of
the matter.
"Do It Quickly and Well.”
The committee authorized to collect
subscriptions for Bishop Eliott’s Me-
morial Hall have decided to place sub-
scription lists in all the banks of tbe
city and hope for a liberal response. J.
S. Look wood baa been elected treasurer
and cash may also be paid to him. It is
desired that tbe foundation stone should
be laid on the anniversary of tbe bishop’s
death. It is requested that tbe friends
of the dead bishop and promptly and
well.
She Can be Married.
A respectable and industrious work-
man has offered Sophie Feller bia hand
in marriage knowing tbe sad story of
her life and if the charge in tbe district
court against her is nolle proeequled it
is said that the marriage will take place
at an early date. In this matter they
have properly sought and obtained tbe
concurrence of her benefactors Captain
and Mrs. Mackey.

THE BELKNAP=BENEFIT.
Our Lady of Lyons Presented at
the Grand.
The long wait by tbe public for tbe
production of the well known drama
"Lady of Lyons” by the amateur* of
this city for tbe benefit of tbe Belknap
Rifles culminated last night in a large
audience being present to witness it*
production. Tbe play drew a good play-
ing house and considering it was ama-
teur and no professionals in tbe oast it
was well played and gave great satisfac-
tion Tbe costumes excited the admira-
tions of the ladies and were very appro-
priate to the play being made especially
for thia presentation.
To select one particular role for
special commendation 1s impossible
the playing of all being commen-
surate with the calibre of
tbe company although tbe play
Itself was too heavy. Mr. Will Tobin ac
quitted bimaelf well aa Claude. Capt.
Huston took very naturally tbe role of
Col. Damas Mtaa Jessie Bell in tbe
title role waa a winsome Lady of Lyons
and Mrs. Fannie Harrison aa Madam
Deachappellea and Mrs. Vinton Jame*
aa the widow Melnotte looked tbe per-
fection of old married ladies. Mr. Will
Rote in hia make up and acting of tbe
comedy part the landlord bad not much
scope for bls drollery but he utilized bi*
opportunities.
This afternoon the performance Is be-
ing repeated to a very fair sized mati-
nee. There will be no performance to-
night and tbe next attraction will be
Mrs. Langtry who by the way will
also essay "The Lady of Lyons” but it
Is thought (?) will stand a very poor
chance in It coming as she does after
thia production of it.
Died Alone.
A man named W. N. Coffey said to
be an engineer residing in San Antonio
was found dead in hia room at Straits’
hotel St. Louis Mo. yesterday. He had
apparently shot himself with a 44 cali-
bre pistol. He left a letter addressed to
hia wife who Hvea in thia city in which
he complained of paina in the bead but
beyond thia no cause for tbe suicide
could be found.
Will not Close.
Tbe Grand opera-bouae will not cloae
with Mra. Langtry aa contemplated.
Mr. *Rische will engage several ligbt
amusement companies operas etc. and
keep tbe bouse open till July when bls
lease expires. He will not associate him-
self in tbe Grand with the new Lessee
but will retire from the "show busi-
ness.”
