Elwixxi democrats have endorsed the candidacy of Edward C.Dehority as a candidate for congress, and from all outward indication he has all the qualificatons of a successful I candidate. The record of Mayor Coffee is one that entitles him to every demo, cratic vote in the city. His administration has been above reproach, and free from any alliances with anything that did not "accord with the interests of a good city government.

Do You Know? That Port Arthur has fallen many times. That the gas and coal companies are wondering how they can get out an injunction against the sun, in order to keep np their dividends. That Dowie of Zion fame does not appreciate brick bats on the head, when he asks for gold coin in the contribution basket. That it is necessary to throw picture of drunkards on the canvass with the stereopticon in order to give an idea of the baleful effect of strong drink, when the real thing—the leering drunkard himself—can be seen in every city.
