Houston. Tex., May 11.—The petition to
the city council yesterday from merchants
to have the stores closed on Sunday was
something' of a surprise to the average
Houstonian, as most people doubtless
thought the sitores were closed on Sunday.
A person taking a Sunday breakfast at
home after having gone through the ordin-
ary preparation for appearance on the
streets or at church on that day generally
found the stores closed, except drug stores
and perhaps soda water stands, hence the
surprise at the petition. The petition was
granted by the council, however, and the
closing il:» law wi.ll doubtless be enforced,
though the average citizen thought Houston
was behaving herself pretty well.
A question to Chief of 1 olice Heim
brought out this answer: , .
"Yes, sir. if they want the stores closed
I will see that it is done, and that it will
go all around. There will be no flesh of
one nor iish of another in it. I felt that oui
people were behaving themselves pretty
nicely in this respect. I don't know of a
more orderly and quiet town anywhere
than Houston on Sunday, nor do I recall a
time at the moment when she ever was
ouieter than now. We are here to do the
will of the people, though, and will do it,
so long as it does not conflict with the law.
The petition to the council and the sign
ers are as, follows:
To His Honor the Mayor and Aldermen.
We, the undersigned merchants and busi-
ness men, request and urge that Sunday
closing be enforced according to the law.
We ask this believing that it is right and
proper and that the merchants may have
one day of rest during the week, as well as
our employes, and further because it is bet-
ter for the morals and uplifting of the com-
munity and unjust to the merchants, the
majority of whom, at a loss to themselves,
observe faithfully the best interest of the
city, themselves and their employes. VVe
pray you that the law regulating Sunday
closing be strictly enforced because ot the
reasons set forth, and further because of
its unjustness, it being a sore distress to us,
and we pray you for its enforcement.

Port Arthur, Tex., May 10,-So many con-
flicting reports had been received pertain-
ing to the ship canal from Port Arthur to
Sabine Pass that a telegram received Sat-
urday by the local engineer, telling him to
start the dredge and dig through dry land,
was allowed to pass unheeded. The uncer-
tainty, however, is a reality, for this morn-
ing the dredge began scooping out huge
chunks of dirt and all now feel assured
that cteep water connection with the gulf
will be a reality within the next two years.
It is thought by some that strong opposi-
tion will be encountered when an attempt
is made to enter the pass proper, but the
government engineers have spoken favor-
ably regarding the channel and it is hard
to conceive where effective opposition can
be secured, as every objection made here-
tofore by the opposition has been removed.

my place and found that the ground was
wet to a depth of six or seven inches
everywhere, and 1 tell you now it has
made our crops. I just came in town this
afternoon to rejoice a little over it with my
friends."
Captain Jim Bates of Brazoria county
came in this afternoon and brought the
same encouraging report from his section.

is that' it does not specifically allege that
notice was given to the company as required
by the policy, but merely states generally
that all provisions of the policy have been
complied with.

Austin, Tex., May 11.—The governor Is-
sued the following proclamation to-day:
Whereas by a resolution of the legislature
of this state, approved March 20, 1807, the
governor is empowered to call a legislative
convention of the cotton growing states to
meet at Galveston, Tex., on the 2d day of
August. 1897, for the purpose of devising
and recommending concurrent legislation
in the cotton growing states, fo the end
that the cotton industry may be relieved
from the speculative and gambling Influ-
ence that oppresses it. and that unlawiul
interference with the cotton trade be sup-
pressed. ,,
Now, therefore, I, Charles A. Culberson,
governor of the state of Texas, do hereby,
pursuant to the resolution, call a legislative
convention of the cotton growing state- *«-
wit., Alabama. Arkansas. Florida. '
gia, Louisiana. Mississippi, North Carolina.
South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas, to
be composed of two delegates at large and
one from each congressional district, to be
appointed by the respective governors, to
meet Ut Galveston. Tex., at noon on the
2d day of August, 1897, for the purposes
aforesaid.
In testimony whereof 1 have
hereunto set my hand and caused

Secretary of State,
A dispatch to The News of yesterday
morning stated that word had been re-
ceived in Cleburne to the effect that that
city had been decided upon for the location
of the machine shops of the Gulf, Colorado
and Santa Fe.
A reporter for The News called at the of-
fice of General Manager Polk and inter-
viewed Chief Clerk Norton relative to the
matter, but that gentleman said the item
in The News was the first and only infor-
mation he had received that the matter had
been settled. In "tact, he knew nothing
whatever about it.
General Manager Polk is in St. Louis In
attendance upon a general meeting or
southwestern lines. The News wired him
of the receipt of the telegram, which came
from Waco, and added: "Please definitely
affirm or deny the statement. Is Galveston
in any way affected?"
To this telegram thp following answer
was received: ,m

News: Regret that 1 can not give out any
information for publication at this time.
L. J. l'GLK.
Verv little fuss has been made at tills
end of the line over the concentration ot
the shops of the Gulf. Colorado and Santa
Fe at some central point. Temple and Ci
burne have both been ho.ding meetings,
raising bonuses of land and money and
sending delegations to see Mr. Polk. FhcIj
has been working hard to be the favored
point.
This concentration of shops is not orig-
inal on this branch of the Santa Fe sys-
tem. Only a few weeks ago the shops at
Nlckerson. Kan., on the Atchison main
line, were removed to Newton, against the
protests of the people of Nlckerson. The
line policy will he carried out all over the
system "iii the interest of retrenchment
nd reform." Mr. Polk has just been to
Chicago to consult with President Ripley.
If the question is settled one way or the
other the officials are not yet ready to
make known their decision.

Last Sunday about 200 excursionists vis-

on the Gulf, Beaumont and Kansas City

Interstate. One of the excursionists, Mr
N. P. Thomas of New York city, gives his
impressions gathered on the trip in the fol-
lowing interesting letter:
Beaumont, Tex., May 10.—To The News
. am comparatively a stranger to Texas
and am told the majority of the trading of
these parts is done in New Orleans. I am
also informed that the new line between
here and your city lias caused the Hunting-
ton line to reduce its freight rale from S:*4
cents per 100 pounds to t» cents, and that it
had also put on excursion rates to Ga.ves
ton via Houston at $2. while the direct line
the Lighthouse route, charged yesterday
(Sunday) $l.f>0 for the round trip. I availed
mvself of this, and having seetra little of
the world, 'naturally studied the situation.
From the information 1 have gathered I
find the Lighthouse route has put in the
pockets of the mills here. cents per 100
jounds. which is a fine profit on a car of
umber, being about .$11. 1 also find the
Beaumont people look with appreciation

souri. Kansas and Texas and the Gulf, Col

people. I had heard it abused so much I
was really surprised to llnd such a nice
road.
In looking at the map 1 llnd your situa-
tion for commerce Al. but you must put
your shoulder to the wheel and push all

Galveston. 1 can see uoods here delivered
from New Ycyk via New Orleans at Gal-
veston's selling priet'. I did find one case
where the short line to Galveston had
met the Southern Pacific and put goods
here against the New Orleans rate. 1
wonder If any of you Galveston people
know what that means? if you want to
stay on the map. get together and put up
the money to extend the "Lighthouse
Route" to Vieksburg, Miss., and at that
place have connection with the Queen and
Crescent and Illinois Central roads, and
at the same time build a roud west to the
Mexican line and keep control of these two
lines. Then nothing would prevent your
city from being the Chicago of the south-
west. It would only take the Indorsement
of '.several of your large corporations to ac-
complish this.
You have the finest dock* In the world to
do business on ami to bring them into con-
stant use tiie year around you only have to
own the lines 1 mentioned. If you had con-
cert of action in your city among your cor-

short line Is making it very Interesting to

NERVOUS TROUBLES
Herein With Inability to Digest Food.
Thousands of men, women and even chil-
dren. who suffer from nervous weakness,
prostration, sleeplessness, nervous head-
aehe. frequently get the cart) before the
horse In the treatment of their trouble. In
all cases of nervous exhaustion, the diges-
tion and appetibe are poor or entirely lack-
ing. yet they invariably ascribe t»his condi-
tion. not to the stomach, but to the nerves.
The real fan is that all nervous troubles
arise and are caused by a weak digestion
and this is plain because nervousness is
simply au indication of tired nerves,
starved nerves, and t»he only way they are
starved is hecain e the stomach falls to di-
gest a sufficient quantity of nourishing
food to supply the immense expedifrure
of nerve force wasted daily. Nervous peo-
ple expend more nerve force than the weak
digestion can replace.
Is it not/ plain that- the common sense
treatment to give In all nervous weakness
Is to begin with the stomach? Build up a
good appetite, thorough digestion of whole-
some food, and whoever saw a nervous
wreck who could eat a hearty dinner and
dlgfst it*?"
Nervousness and good eligesMon are never
found In the same individual, and how
qutckl) the nervousness vanishes when the
appetite becomes normal and the food Is
promptly digested belore fermentation and
acidity can take place.
Treat the stomach first and do it with a
safe, well'-tesbed, reliable remedy like Stu-
art's. I'Vyspepxla Tablets. These tablets are
no wonderful decoction warranted to per-
form miracles, but are simply a pleasant
absolutely harmless digestive to be taken
after each meal. They do not act on tho
bowels, but do the only thing really neces-
sary, they digest the food promptly and
I t ennpletely leaving none to sour, ferment
nd poison the blood and nerves.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are used and
advised by physicians because they are no
cret patent medicine, but contain only
the natural digestive acids, fruit juices and
peptior.es. They increase flow of gastric
juice and build up the appetite, nervous
tom and inn-ease llesh as no other rent-
ely lias done before, because by performing
the work of digestion they rest and build
up the whole digestive system.
He> popular have they become by reason
of their merit the pleasant taste ami con-
nlence (can be earried in the pocke*t) that
II druggists now sell them at r»0 cents per
,UNe/one having any trouble- with their di-
gestion will ever regret having made a
trial of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
