Women are vastly more patient than
men. It is scarcely believable that a
woman suffering past all telling can
attend to business and liend anil stoop
with a back whose ache is agony. And
beyond all this she smiles as she bends
and stoops aliout her customer. A man
might swallow down an oath or keep
back a groan but his face would be like
a thundercloud and his voice scarcely
disguise hi* irritation.
For women who suffer from backache
bearing-down pains or other pains due to
womanly diseases there is no other med-
icine eqfial to Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. It regulates the womanly
functions dries weakening drains heals
inflammation and ulceration and cures
female weakness.
There? is no alcohol in " Favorite Pre-
scription ” and it is entirely free from
opium cocaine and all other narcotics.
A vegetable preparation it cannot dis-
agree with the weakest condition.

PAST ELECTION ECHOES.
For the Light.
The Democrats are rejoicing that Tex-
as will he represented in the next Cong-
ress by a solid delegation of bubonic
Bourbons. It will be interesting to note
how far Texas will prosper or profit
thereby. As a rule Republicans are not
of the sniite-one-eheek-and-turn-the-oth-
er class of humanity and when Texans
go forward with a petition for appro
prmtiona to build u sea-well around Gal-
lesion and for other local purposes it
ma;’ be remarked that they will be incon-
tinently turned down; as they deserve
to he.
The victory of the Boxers was full
■nd complete. Those tuo checks rc-
ceived by the Boxer slush-fund commit-
tee the day previous to the election
from two leading corporations of thq
city decided the buttle before the jaills
were opened.
The most artistic and refined pieie of
sarcasm uttered in conimeat of the re-
sult of tin 1 local election is that of the
organ of the Boxers which remarked
that “the part the Express took in the
recent local campaign was the part of
a conscientious public journal seeking to
advance the cause of good government
and of the people!" Pass the buck!
The Express should more carefully
guard its utterances. It Is likely to
lei the “<pt out of the bag" whin it
publicly threatens the county officers-
elect" if they should fail to redeem the
pledges." What pledge’ That the valua-
tions of its property and that of its
friends shall be reduced to a mere bag-
atelle? The zeal displayed by the Ex-
press in behalf of the Boxer ticket dur-
ing tli<‘ recent campaign was not very
generally accepti-d by the public as en-
tirely patriotic or unselfish.
Votes at Ilie recent local election com-
manded as high figures as the vote of
ordinary statesmen in our municipal par-
liament. where it is hinted they have
reached a zero mark of $2O with a max-
imum point of $390. Perhaps the grand
jury may yet investigate the matter.
The election is over and the successful
aspirants arc joyously receiving the con-
gratulations of their friends. Though
there are but few of them to whom I
could sincerely tender congratulation*—
in fact but one of them —1 cannot fore-
go this opportunity to express to the
industrious intelligent and thrifty citi-
zens and taxpayers of Bexar county niv
condolences over the result. By the
corrupt use of money in debauching the
ballot and securing the votes of flic hoi
pulioi. stupendous ignorance inexcusa-
ble'illiteracy and ludicrous assumption
have been entrusted with high re«]x»n*i!.'i-
lity and grave duties in some of the
most important departments of the coun-
ty's government while seven of tlic con-
spicuously chief branches of the countv
government are tilled by men who pre-
sumably have no |M*nuanent interests in
the community as they own no property
nor pay even a poll tax to the state or
county. And arc those the individuals
who are “to purify local politics and to
improve the- public service in Bexar
county and advance the cause of good
government!'* Sacrificed Israel! was
there ever such u mendacious and pie-
| amt erous claim!
The returns while ample to define the
general result arc yet too incomplete
to |xTmit of an intelligent analysis.
Sufficient is known however to make
sure that nc.t a few voters of the ru
nil districts arc as susceptible to the in-
tlmmce of the “aAinighty dollar." as is
the venal and purchasable elements of
the citv.
Mr. Surkey'* action in tailoring and
voting for the infamous ordinance sad-
dling ii|x>n the citizens and taxpayer*
of San Antonio the gigantic monopoly
which is to control the gas. electric light
■nd street ear franchises of our-citv un-
til 1040 lias bee.n vindicated by his elec-
tion. True the vindication was not
so pronounced and overshadowing as it
might have been. Mr. Surkey only re-
ceiving 800 or less majority over his
competitor. whHe Ids associates on the
same ticket received from 2000 to 4000
majority over their respective opponents
still it was a vindication and the publie
must rest content to let it go at that.
More money was spent tn cleet th" suc-
cessful candidates for local offices st the
late election than their aggregate sal-
aries an<l fees for twelve months would
amount to. Who did foot the bill! 1
Amid all this “crush of matter an!
wreck of worlds' and bitter disappoint
ments over the result of the county elec-
tion. there is a measure of the fullest
and snpreinest satisfaction in the know!
edge and reflection that not u single
mother's son all the unwashed and vn-
regeneraled in Texas will lie permitted
to smack his lips over a piece of Federal
pie. Laus Deo!
LARGEST NUGGET
1 he biggest nugget of gold ever receiv-
ed at the assay office in Wall street ac-
cording to Buperinteudent Andrew Ma-
son arrived from the Cariboo Consoli-
dated Hydraulic Mining company iu
British Columbia. It wus consigned to
the New 1 ork agents of thfi Bank of
Montreal at No. 01 Wall street.
I'he nugget contained a fraction over
753 pounds of the solid yellow metal and
is valued at $154.0110. it came in a solid
cone the shape of a beehive and stood
about two feet in height. The eone was
wrapped in canvas mid fitted with an ob-
long box made of two-inch planks mid
heavily bound with iron. The gold was
held Urmly in the box by two wooden
wedges driven in from the top. Two
heavy iron rings were set in the sides of
the rough box and through these were
fitted wooden burs by which the box
was lifted. It required four men to re-
move it from the truck in the assay of-
fice to the scales.
"We do not like* to get these large
nuggets" said Superintendent Mason
“because it is so difficult to handle them.
But it is because they are so diflieult
to handle t bat the miners like to mold
them in bulk it would be next to im-
possible for robbers to run away with a
nugget like the one received today and
it accordingly costs less for the miners
to insure it in transit.
"We shall molt the nugget down and
mold it in bars of u size convenient for
handling. It will be weighed again af-
ter it has been melted down mid molded
and this weight will form the basis of
pai ment.”

AN ENGLISH ELECTION STORi’.
From the Birmingham Gazette
The following story is told about North-
ampton and Mr. Laboucheres
“One of my mates has a little invalid
girl that's very thoughtful and the ques-
tions she asks are most surprising. She'd
ofteq heard Bill talking to the missis
about the war and who was to blame
for it. and one night she says:
" Daddy did God make Labbyl’
"And Bill he thought a bit and says:
" 'Yes love—l suppose so’ he says.
“So she thought a bit more and she
says:
"'What for daddy?’
“Bill was never so staggered. He put
his considering cap on but it was no
good.
“It’s surprising what hard questions
children can ask."
GIRI. LOST
In the Woods and Aimlessly Wandered
in the Night in a Storm.
New York Journal.
Hysterical and on the verge of col-
lapse. Flo Bailey the (ifeen-year old girl
for whom the jiolice have been searching
since Wednesday morning returned to
her home. No. 505 West One Hundred
and Fifty-eighth street last night after
a trying experience.
In company with a girl friend Flo
Hailey left her home last Tuesday and
went to Ft. Lee. There the two girls
decided to take a trolley ride along the
Palisades to Hackensae. Each had but
10 cents. "I'll pay the fare down and
you pay it coming back” said Flo to her
companion.
In the crowd at the Hackensack station
the two girls became separated. For an
hour each searched for the other but in
vain. Finally wearying of the unsuc-
cessful quet. Flo's conqianion rode home.
But the Bailey girl had no money with
which to return having spent her last
dime for the ear fare to Hackensack.
So she continued the search for her com-
panion.
This led her to the Bogota woods in
w bieh she »ouu became lust. She waa
In the densest part of the wotal* when
the big storm broke.
The girl sought shelter in vain. Weak
anil footsore she crouched on the ground
uniier a tree. The free however af-
forded very little shelter from the raiu.
In a short time the unfortunate girl
was dreyehed.
She slept or rather tried to sleep on
the rain*oaked gmunil all that night
while the rain fell and the wind shook
the great trees.
In the morning the girl was barely
able to rise For sexen hours in her ter-
ribly .weak condition she tramped the
bleak wimkls looking for the open. Not
until 1 o'chsk on Wednesday did she
reach a road.
This road was like the oasis in the de-
sert. ami the girl took it; it led her I<l
Englewood.
Here Flo Bailey who had not eaten
for nearly 30 hours begged 20 cent*.
With part of this she Isiughl and ate a
loaf of bread: the balance she used for
fare to New York.
Fearing her parents’ ire. however Flo
did not go home at once. Instead she
went to the hon«e of a friend. This
friend urged Flo to go home but t h<»
girl refused.
The girl was indeed a sorry sight. Het
appearance fully attested to the trulli
of the tale of her awful tria.
Unfortunately Ihe friend at whoso
house Flo sought shelter did not know
where Flo's parents fixed they having
moved recently and Flo her«elf declined
to reveal the address;hence Mr. and Mrs.
Bailey xxho at that time were scouring
the city for their daughter could not ho
notified of her safety and her where*
about*.
Shortly before midnight however tha
girl was persuaded that her jiarents
would not scold or punish her. and so she
told her address and was taken horn-.
A physician was called in to attend
her. ।
ARE NOVINC OVER
WHITEHOUSE EMPLOYES GOINI
TO THE BROWNSTONE.
Giving Up Jobs With the City for
Longer Ones With the County at a
Bigger Salary.
The bosses and candidates of thd
Boxer or Non-Partisan ticket previ-
ous to election wailed loudly
when it was asserted that the ticket
was a creature of the eity hall backed
by the city hull and solely for the
benefit of the coterie of politicians now
controlling the city hall.
Since the election however matters
are beginning to look as if the people
who made the accusations were not al-
together xvrong.
in the appointments already slated as
a result of the election the city hall
sweeps everything from the table of
good things and future appointments
will very likely be made in line with
those already announced.
The first appointment to lie made
public is that of chief deputy clerk
under George Surkey. W. W. Johnson
the present eity clerk has Ixeen tend-
ered and accepted that position.
Victor Beze. Jr. assistant city clerk
will very likely succeed Mr. Johnson
anil some other eity employe will take
Victor's place.
The position vacated by the election
of Assistant Police Chief John Wil-
kens. Jr. to the office of county assessor
goes to Mounted Policeman A. H. Car-
ry anil Mr. Curry's job falls to Patrol-
man W. T. Garvin.
Dr. Charles A. R. Campbell eity bac-
teriologist is an applicant for tiie po-
sition of county physician and with hin x
backing is likely to get it.
As “straws show which way the wind
blows” these appointment* are a pretty
strong indication of hoxv all county po-
sitions will be filled as long as there
are enough city official* to go around
among all the offices.
It is merely a ease of giving up a job
of a few months' duration for one of
two years at better pay.
THE NORDICA INCIDENT. '
A Little Light Thrown in—What Caus*
ed the Hitch. j
Special to the Sunday Light.
St. Louis Mo. Nov. 10. —Mr. Clemens
Strassberger presioent of the St. Louis
Musical Festival association fears a re-
cent newspaper publication telling of
the demand of the representative of
.Mme. Nordica the great soprano that
he be paid tlw cash in advance before
permitting the prima donna to sing at
last Monday night’s concert at the Coli-
seum. and of the inconvenience the de-
mand occasioned may be taken by some
as a reflection upon the management of
the great festival. Consequently he
makes a statement of the affair. He
stales that the embarrassment was not
caused by a shortage ot funds but by
the fact that a cheek from a prominent
St. Louis business house in settlement
of tickets had to be cashed at 8 o'clock
at night and that the needed amount
had to be paid in $1 and $2 bills from
the sale of box otfiec tickets.
“Mme. Nordica was to have $2OOO
for her appearance" says Mr. StraM-
berger ‘"and when her agent Mr. Si-
mons representing Mr. Grau called on
us for the money we gave him $1250
in New York exchange and the check
of the business house for $750. He re-
fused to accept the check and declared
that he wanted the $750 in cash. The
banks xvere closed and as jieople do noh
generally carry as much as $750 in cash
about with them we knew of no place
to cash the eheck except at our own
ticket office which we did giving Mr.
Simons the $750 in $1 and $2 bills.
When he saxv the pile of money he re-
fused to take it as the counting would
be too tedious but we refused to again
give him the check and he had to take
the money. At that time we had in
our treasury more than three times the
amount of money needed but when tho
demand wan made we gave a cheek not
knowing that Mme. Nordica's oxvn agent
would discriminate between bank cheeks
and laink notes.
"This little incident was not the cause
of the delay of the beginning of the
program and it caused no ill feeling
on the part of the prima donna. Sha
expressed herself to me most flattering-
ly on the subject of the festival the op-
ening of xvhich she considers a great
musical sueeess and on the program
in which she said she was proud tn
have appeared. She complimented tha
director. Mr. Pommsr the urehestra amt
the chorus."
