OFFICIAL TRIAL
Of Clermont, Exact Duplicate of Rob-
ert Fulton’s Original, Will
Take Place Today.
A Sprained Ankle.
As usually treated a sprained ankle
•will disable the injured person for a
month or more, but by applying
Chamberlain's Liniment and observ-
ing the directions with each bottle
faithfully, a cure may, in most cases,
be effected in less than one week’s
time. This liniment is a most remark-
able preparation; try it for a sprain
or a bruise, or when laid up with
chronic or muscular rheumatism, and
you are certain to be delighted with
the prompt relief which it affords.

PORT ARTHUR PICNICKERS
Had a Good Time Up the River and
Saw the Game Here.
New York, Sept. 21.—The official
trial’'of the new Clermont, the vessel
which was built at Staten Island last
winter for the Hudson-Fulton cele-
bration and which is an exact dupli-
cate of Robert Fulton’s original Cler-
mont of historical fame, will take
place this afternoon. After the trial
the little vessel will be returned to
Staten Island, where she will remain
until the first day of the celebration.
She will then be brought over to-
gether with the Half Moon to the
Hudson river and be formally pre-
sented to the celebration committee.
The Clermont II. was tried out un-
officially a few days ago and proved
to be slightly too fast, a defect which
her builders have since attempted to
remedy.

INLAND WATERWAYS
Secretary of War Dickinson Accepts
Invitation to Address Meeting.
The launch Juliett, Captain Pavell,
brought a party of about thirty-five
from Port Arthur, including several
ladies, and they went up to Big Eddy
a few miles above Orange, where un-
der the shade of the big oaks they
spread their dinner and enjoyed a
splendid feast. In the afternoon the
party came down to Orange and wit-
nessed the ball game and returned to
Port Arthur 'about 5 o'clock.
The ball team and some of their

COAL IN PANAMA
Washington, D. C„ Sept. 21.—The
announcement of the discovery of
valuable deposits of coal and petrole-
um in Panama is neither surprising
nor unexpected. It had long been
surmised that the isthmus was rich
in useful minerals as in other nat-
ural resources. But there are,proba-
bly no two natural products which
would be of greater practical profit
to Panama than those the finding of
which is now reported.
And Fined $10, the Judgment of Old-
Time Justice.
Discussing ancient and modern ver-
dicts sind judgments of lower courts
on the corner yesterday morning, H.
W. Bland told the best one. He said
that about thirty years ago Orange
fta,d a Justice of t'lie Peace named Can-
field, and a rollicky young man nam-
ed Brooks, and they used to meet
quite often. One Monday morning
young Brooks was arraigned before
the Judge, charged with some bit of
rascality, and after hearing the case,
and the prosecuting attorney utterly
failing to make any sort of a case
against Brooks, the Judge looked over
his spectacles and decided: "Well,
Brooks, there ain't no evidence agin
you, but 1 believe you are guilty and
I’ll fine you anyway—$10." •

REFORM WAVE
Has Apparently Passed Its Height
and Is Now Receding.
Atlantic City, Sept 21—The reform
wave which struck this city a few
weeks ago has apparently passed its
height and is now receding The ar-
rest of the mayor for contempt of
court, and threats of proceedings
against a police magistrate who show-
ed no desire to help agitators for a
Puritan Sabbath, had little effect upon
the hotel men and saloon keepers
They put the desires of patrons above
law, and in their defiance appear to
have substantial support from public
opinion.
Why?
From a small beginning the sale
and use of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy has extended to all parts of
the United States and to many for-
eign countries. Why> Because it
has proved especially valuable for
coughs and colds. For sale by B F.

recommending it, that I give it the

Salty Water in Sabine.
As a result of the storm and high
tide yesterday, the water in the Sa-
bine is salty today, almost as salty
as when the saw mills shut down a
few weeks ago. But the mills were
going all right, except the lower
Lutcher & Moore mill, which shut
down because of the blow-out of

day to Hear Senator.
Quite a number of Orange Demo-
crats left this morning on the Oriole
for Houston to hear Senator Bailey-
tonight.
The senator’s speech at Dallas Sat-
urday night in reply to Col. Win. Jen-
nings Bryan whetted their desire to
hear him at Houston. In fact, there
are' a great many who want to hear
him who will not be able to spare the
time for the trip.

and early consummation of the under-
taking.
That Lame Back Means
Kidney Disease
And to Relieve the Lame and Aching Back,
You Must First Relieve the Kidneys
There la no question about that
at all—for the lame and aching
back is caused by a diseased con-
dition of the kidneys and bladder.
It Is only common sense, any way
—that you must cure a condition
by removing the cause of the con-
dition. And lame and aching back
are not by any means the only
symptoms of derangement of the
kidneys and bladder., There are a
multitude of well-known and un-
mistakable indications of a more 'or
less dangerous condition. Sotne of
these are, for instance: Extreme
and unnatural lassitude and weari-
ness, nervous Irritability, heart Ir-
regularity, “nerves on edge,” sleep-
lessness and inability to secure
rest, scalding sensation and sedi-
ment In the urine. Inflammation of
the bladder and passages, etc.
DeWitt’s Kidney and Bladder
Pills are an exceptionally meritorl-
'ous remedy for any and all affec-
tions or diseased conditions of
these organs. These PUla operate
directly and promptly—and their
beneficial results are at once felt
They regulate, purify, and effec-
tually heal and restore the kid-

SPLENDID SHOWING
In Enrollment of Pupils in the Pub-
lic Schools.
. The Leader learned from Superin-
tendent Binkley'of the public schools
that there has been a very decided
increase since the opening day in «the
school enrollment. The first day's
enrollment was less than 700. At the
close of school last Friday it had in-
creased to 1,025, which is just 100
less than the total scholastic popula-
tion The school census six weeks
before showed exactly 1,100, and since
there were 25 transfers, which made
atotal of 1,125. That is a very fine
showing and shows a confidence in
the schools at the start.
Do not be deceived by unscrupu-
lous imitators who would have you
believe that the imitation pills are as
good as DcVVitt’s Kidney and Blad-
der Pills. There isn’t anything just
as good as these wonderful pills for
the relief of Backache, Weak Back,
inflammation of the bladder, urinary
disorders and all kidney complaints.
Any one can take DeWitt’s Kidney
and Bladder Pills as directed in per-
fect confidence of good results. Sold
by all druggists.
O'ranlge has been a Bailey town and
his adherents on this issue are strong-
er than ever before. The doctrine of
tariff for revenue only is a Demo-
cratic doctrine, one that Bailey and
anti-Bailey men can get together on.
Col. Bryan’s idea may appeal to the
interest of section or individual, hut
as a Democratic proposition, he is off.
Among those going to Houston at
noon were Judge J T. Adams, Sher-
iff R. M. Johnson, District Clerk *C.

From Tuesday’s Daily.
The West Indian hurricane, which
was predicted the preceding twenty-
four hours, struck the gulf coast
through Mississippi and Louisiana
doing great damage to the rice stand-
ing in the fields and injury to houses
in New Orleans amounting to $100,-
000 or more. In New Orleans there
were several lives lost, chiefly fmm
live wires which were blown down
throughout the city.
Orange suffered no inconvenience,
but there was some apprehension of
danger as the barometer continued to
decline until it was down to 29 ()6.
There was an increasing rainfall in
the afternoon with the decline in
temperature. Orange has been ex-
tremely fortunate in escaping all the
storms of the last several years.
The damage to rice, according to
reports from Crowley and Lake
Charles, will be immense. Rice-ripe
and about ready for harvest, blown
down, is nearly a complete loss, and
there is a great deal in that condi-
tion.
Mrs. Maurice Aronson is en "route
from New York, somewhere east of
New Orleans when the storm hit the
coast yesterday. Mr. Aronson was
very anxious to get news of the
trains and conditions of the country
this morrting, but could not learn
much. No train had come from the
cast since the one at 5 o’clock yes-
terday afternoon. Tracks east of New
Orleans were reported under water
last night and the prospects are that
the passenger trains arc tied up
around New Orleans for a day or
two.
Mr. Aronson received a lelegram
at noon frpm Mrs. Aronson at Mont-
gomery, Ala., saying that the sleeper
was side-tracked there on account of
the storm, but she thought she would
be able to reach Orange tomorrow.
This would indicate that the storm
extended beyond Mobile and far into
the interior of Alabama.

Slip
Special Train With President David-
son of the Rock Island, and
Others, Stopped Over.
As announced in the Leader yester-
day afternoon, the special train of
President A. J. Davidson of the Rock
I Island-Frisco system pulled into Or-
ange at 4:30 p. m. With President
Davidson was Vice-President W. C.
Nixon, general manager of the entire
Frisco system, and A. J. Elliott, vice-
president and general manager of the
East Texas lines, and Col. Frank
Keith, of Beaumont, who accom-
panied the party from Beaumont.
On the arrival of the train, not-
withstanding the rain and the blow
which was the edge of the West In-
dian hurricane, a number of promi-
nent citizens called at the car to pay
their respects to the distinguished
visitors, including President L. Mil-
ler of the O & N. VV. R y . W. H.
Stark, Hon. J. W. Link, Mayor E. W.
Brown, Judge W. O. Huggins, Geo.
E. Holand, and others.-
The Frisco officials are on their
regular tour of inspection of the prop-
erties of the system, and viewing the
country and keeping in touch with its
material advancement and develop-
ment.
President Davidson expressed his
pleasure at seeing Orange again, and
his regret at the weather which pre-
vented them seeing more of the splen-
did river, which Mr. Davidson pre-
dicted would in time become one of
the greatest waterways of the South.
Mr. Nixon, who was a shipbuilder
before he was a railroad man, was
especially interested in the width and
depth of the river which is destined
to form so important a part in the
Frisco's transportation system; for
through it, over the 0. A N, W,
branch of the Frisco direct route to
the North, the grain and products of
mills and packeries and machine and
implement factories of the North and
Northwest are to find their shortest
and quickest route not only to South
America, but through the Panama ca-
nal to the eastern half of the world.
The Frisco management contem
plate improvements here, will have to
have them, but not until more i* done
toward deepening the channel below
the river, and in building up the trade
which makes business for railroads
On this point President Davidson
spoke of the great value of good
roads as an influence in town build-
ing. Good roads, he say^, do more
than any other like investment in
building up the business of a town
and county. People of the North and
extreme East now in getting infor-
mation about new countries ask about
the road* to market and schools, and
information on this point is very ef-
fective He say* that with good roads
out of town in each direction, town
people seek homes further out and
the farmer community are brought
right into town advantages. He cited
Philadelphia suburbs, and suburbs of
other progressive cities to substanti-
ate this, where good roads had done
so much to unite apd harmonize the
interests and benefits of city and
country.
Mr. Davidson said that just a few
days ago he was asked what bonus
was necessary to secure a road build-
ing in that direction, and he answered
that depot grounds and right-of-way
was all that was required, but that
they should raise as big a bonus a*
possible and put it all on improving
the public roads into town, as this
will be the biggest thing they could
give the road and the greatest benefit
to themselves
The gentlemen were, of course, ret-
icent when it came to discussing the
improvements and extension of the
O. & N. W. R’y, but the understand-
ing was clear that that road is going
to be extended thorugh to Marshall,
and on to Paris connection with the
Frisco to St Louis and Kansas City,
as early as practicable. The exten-
sion to Brady and to Stamford are
also early probabilities, but the San
Antonio extension will wait awhile.
* The official party left this morning
on their special train over the O A
N, W. via Maurice and the C S A
to be an able and fair speaker, arrived
in Orange, as a conservative advo-
cate of the principles of Socialism,
and the other, Mr Holman, was re-
called. It was hoped by the change
that the movement which had lan-
guished under Holman would flourish
under Crider, and perhaps it would
but for the recent misfortune, and
may even wiih that, as a'dittle oppo-
sition is sometimes a good stimulant.
While Mr. Crider was speaking a
few nights ago. he made some state-
ment that did not meet the approval
of a bystander, a Mr. P, and Mr. P.
’made some slighting criticism of it.
The remark reached the ear of the
speaker, who proceeded to retort
with some asperity. Among other
things the speaker said was some-
thing like thia: "That monkey-faced
baboon is too narrow between the
eyes to ever get a fit of glasses at
any optician's." But the man too nar-
row between the eyes seemed to he
broad between the shoulders, and the
