Wonderful confinement drops I am in
possession of remedies for all "ills” that
man is heir to.
Healing of wounds of all kinds female
diseases cured without painful opera-
tions are my just claims; to which 1 can
give substantial references and can also
produce living subjects who nave been
treated and cured of the above diseases.
If my advice and direction are heeded
closely relief will follow within 24 to 48
hours. Ido not claim to be a physician
holding a "diploma” (so easily procured
in this country) but what I do claim to be
is a professional nurse and experienced
in the art of concocting herbs “nature’s
remedies" since childhood. I have per-
formed some wonderful cures.

The Clothes Got 'Em.
Manager George Walker of the Grand
Opera house and Postmaster Joe George
were walking down West Commerce street
this morning when they observed a neat
suit of clothes in the show window of a
popular Jewish gents' furnishing goods
house They stopped to look at it and
finally George Walker suggested: “Let’s
go in; it don’t cost anything to look at
it.” He made a bold break for the door
and was followed by Postmaster George.
He tried the door but it wouldn’t open
and he tried again. When he looked
through the glass and saw no one in the
store the idea struck him and he re-
marked: "That's so; today is the Jewish
holiday. Y<<m Ktppur.” and both went
away laughing Of course they were
onto it to hear them tell it.
A Word to the Ladies.
So many have admired some particu-
lar pattern hat of ours and say “That
just suits me. if I could have it in an-
other color I would take it." We ask her
to leave her order. She smiles and says:
“Oh no! You can’t work that racket on
me. I’ve tried that before right here in
San Antonio and I have been cheated
everytime. Either I get inferior ribbon
feathers or velvet or the shape is entire-
ly different from the pattern and the
dealer compels me to take it.” She has
be tn duped once and will not try it again.
“A sad commentary.” Now to those
ladies a word: We are here to stay. We
wish your confidence and win not abuse
it. We have the exact frame of each
pattern hat. There is no milliner in New
York who can do better work than we
turn out. Try us once and we’ll please
you beyond a doubt. We have the larg-
est mllinery business in Galveston es-
tabli-hed over sixteen years; nine-tenths
of our customers there leave their orders
and very very rarely is any alteration
needed. “Verbum sap.”

TERRIBLE SUICIDE.
POISON AND AN OLD MUSKET USED.
An Old Citizen Becomes T.red of
Life and Coolly Ends It in
the Cemeteries.
The community shocked today
when it became known that Mr. August
Heubanm one of our oldest citizens had
committed suicide in a horrible manner.
The police were notified by telephone
and the patrol wagos carried Justice
Jones out as coroner to view the remains.
The body was found in the edge
of the chapparal at the end of
State street in the East End ad-
dition between the Dignowity and St.
Mary’s cemeteries. Beside the body lay a
forked stick freshly cut. and in the left
band was still grasped the old army mus-
ket a muzzle loader with which the deed
had been committed.
The indications showed that deceased
deliberately loaded the gun cut a forked
stick placed the muzzle of the gun in his
mouth and holding the barrel in his left
hand had touched the trigger with
the forked stick in his right hand.
The top and back part of his head was
terribly torn and death must have been
instantaneous.
In the pocket of his coat was found a
bottle of strychnine nearly empty and it
is probable that deceased had swallowed
a very large dose of the poison previous
to attempting the shooting. So large a
dose would not kill as quickly as a
very small one and failing to produce
death he resorted to the gun.
The body was taken up and brought to
the city where it was delivered to the un-
dertaker at the instance of deceased’s
sons.
Mr. Heubaum was 80 years of age.
though his hair had not yet turned gray.
He came to San Antonio in 1853 and had
lived here continuously since then 41
years. He leaves a wife and two sons
August and Fred Heubaum merchants
on East Commerce street to survive
him. He lived with one of his sons
on Narp s reet and the family state
that he must have left home very early
this morning as they did not know he
had taken his gun.
Of late he has been unable to enjoy re-
gular sleep and being old and probably
feeling that his days were nearly ended
quietly stole away and anticipated nature
in finding that rest which she seemed so
loth to provide.

PLAIN POINTERS.
Written for the Light by Observer.
When the political pot is boiling there
are always plenty of willing hands to
skim the fat offices accumulating on the
surface just for the sake of the “dear
people."
The candidates are putting on a broad
smile and are preparing for a general
hand shaking—until after election.
A well known Democrat remarked the
other day that the only objection he has
t > Judge Noonan’s candidacy for Congress
is that “the old Judge is too good a man
and too clean handed to go into politics.”
If this is the only fault to be found in
the venerable judge then it is the sacred
duty of every good citizen to vote for him
and convince the world that honesty is
no disgrace in the Congressional house at
Washington.
The free traders seem to be very san-
guine and confident of electing their idol
judging from their bragging in the back-
woods and forks of the creek. Hold on
boys don’t count the chickens before they
are hatched.

ment of Lieutenant Colonel A. C. Wild-

**ll is understood that a committee of
citizens who intend to celebrate “Colum-
bus Day” Oct. 12 want the troops to help
out the street parade they intend to give
on that date. It is the opinion of mili-
tary men that this participation in civic
parades is not at all appropriate and it is
also a well known fact that San An-
tonio is the only town in the Union
that tries to make a Barnum’s
circus out of the United States
troop for every little celebration that
may bob up. What have the United
Stales troops to do with Mexican Irish

is nearly lime these military committees

TO ADVERTISE SAN ANTONIO.
A pamphlet is being published for the
purpose of advertising Sac Antonio in
the north and east. It is proposed to
publish 50000 copies which will cost
*6000. The Missouri Pacific railway and
several connecting lines agree to pul up
*3000 and ask the citizens of San Antonio
to pay the remaining *3000. A reporter
for the Light was shown a sample copy
this morning. It is really a fine piece of
work giving the views of the principal
buildings street* resorts etc.of this city
and will no doubt prove an attractive ad-
vertisement.

CHICAGO ENJOINED
BY THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH 00.
From Cutting Wires and Otherwise
Interfering With the Business
of the Company.
ChicagoOct. 10.--The PostalTel-
egraph & Cable Co. has filed a bill
in the United States Circuit court
for an injunction against city offi-
cers restraining them from cutting
the wires of the company or inter-
fering with its business. The bill
says that the council directed the
commissioner of public works not
to issue permits to the company
for the laying of conduits for wires
until they obtained a franchise for
the use of streets and also to cut
the wires of the company unless
the order of the council was com-
plied with. The company cites an
ordinance of 1882 granting the
right to construct conduits to the
Underground Electric company.
The rights of the company are also
secured by the Bankers and Mer-
chants Telegraph company which
is claimed to have been acquired
by the Postal company. The city
bill of $lOOOO for repaving Clark
street from the river to Polk street
in 1894 the bill says was com-
promised for $557 not because
the company acknowledged the
justice of the claim but because it
was necessary to secure permits. If
wires are cut the company will
have no connection it says with
the main office at Jackson and
Clark streets the Board of Trade
or branch offices whose combined
business amounts to $200000 worth
of telgrams per day.

River Min Blockaded.
Shanghai Oct. 10.—The Chi-
nese have blockaded the mouth of
the river Min leading to Foo Choo
and vessels bound for that port
must now discharge cargos at
Sharp Peak. No confirmation has
been received here to the report
that Japanese have effected a
landing near Port Arthur.
The Women Funted.
Chicago Oct. 10.—Three hun-
dred suburban passengers on the
Illinois Central road were badly
frightened and given a severe
shaking up at the foot of Congress
street last night when the evening
South Chicago train ran off a
blind switch at the Randolph
Street station. J. M. Bell whose
residence could not be learned was
the only person injured. Many
other passengers received several
bruises and several women fainted.
That the accident did not result
more seriously was probably due
to the fact that the train
had just started at Van Buren sta-
tion and had not gained much
headway.

Five Hundred Pickets on Guard.
New York Oct. 10.—The general
strike of the Cloak Makers union
which was ordered by a general
vote of the union promises to be
more extended than was at first
thought. The cutters who belong to
the United Cloak and Suit Cutters’
union numbering 1000 will go out
tomorrow and this meeting it is
believed will paralyze the trade.
The strike was originally intended
to be a sympathetic one in support
of the strikers in the establish-
ments of Julius Stern and company
L. T. Granner and company A. Bal-
ler and company and Heller Dink-
elspeil. Now it is a strike against
the piece workers’ system. Com-
mittees are sent around early to
order out the strikers.
The 2000 hands in Maverick
Jones and Company factory were
among the first to go out. Among
the larger firms where numbers
could be learned it was said that
1500 struck in Samuel Oppenheim-
ers and 1000 in Popkin and com-
pany’s places In Grand street. About
three shops in all were affected in-
cluding the small contractor shops.
A force of 500 pickets was distribut-
ed in the vicinity of the shops. The
men strikers met last night in the
basement of New Irving Hall
where they were addressed by Jo-
seph Barrondess and others. Bar-
rondess was received as if he had
been a conqueror men pressing
forward to shake his hand. "Men”
he said “I xvant to warn you not
to go near the pickets. The police
will arrest y£u if you do. The
manufacturers are conspiring
against you. We must do away
with the piece work system.” The
girl cloak makers had a meeting of
their own. Barrondess appeared at
this meeting at a late hour and
the girls went wild over him
standing on chairs waving hand-
kerchiefs and shouting hysterical-
ly. Barrondess made a short speech
assuring them that they would
win and then hurried out. The
sensation caused by his appear-
ance broke up the meeting. The
girls would listen to no one else.
Chili Pays Up.
Washington October 10.—The
Chilian government through its

The awards will be paid by the de-
partment immediately to tho
claimants.
The Students are Alive.
Washington Oct. 10.—A cable-
gram from Consul Jernigan at

Japanese students arrested in Sep-
tember on a charge of being spies
and who were reported as having
been beheaded are alive and well
treated.
Runaway Train Wrecked
Asheville N. C. Oct. 10.—A
south bound freight on the Ashe-
ville and Sportanburg road ran
down a heavy grade on Saluda
mountain yesterday. The crew re-
mained on the flying train which
ran to the bottom of the grade and

teen cars piling up in a deep cut.

Express Train Held Up.
Vinita I. T. Oct. 10.—The rob-
bers held up the express again at
Choteau last night taking two
money bags which contained coin.
Then two or three persons in the
depot were also robbed. The rob-
bers three in number were not
masked and information is to the
effect that they were all Indians
supposed to bo the Cook gang.
Robbers held up the Missouri Pa-
cific station at Claremore and got
about $5O. The parties are un-
known.
Every Day Occurrence.
Muncie Ind. October 10.—A
shooting scrape occurred last night
in which a murder was narrowly
averted. Ed Jones accused Lee
Francis of stealing a watch and
some money from him while he
was asleep. The argument that
followed resulted In Jones strik-
ing Francis who pulled a revolver
and began firing. The first bullet
pierced Jones’ left ear nearly
tearing it off and his face was
badly powder burned. The second
bullet grazed Jones’right hip and
passed through a cradle in which
a baby was asleep but It was not
Injured. Jones’ good aim with his
fist knocked Francis down before
he could fir e again and he then
nearly beat the life out of him.
