A fifteen barrel oil well at three hun

than a five hundred barrel well at

The New School Books Adopted.
. -
Austin, Texas, Aug 4 —As forecasted
In last night's dispatches, the State
Text Book Board did its do today and
all Was made public. this afternoon.
Many book, agents are happy, while
others are downcatft. One said "they
can have the business at the prices."
In the adoption of the books there
were several Innovations, the Introduc-
tion of a primer, a mental' arithmetic,
a beginner's history of the United
States, a physical geography and a
booh on composition work, in other
words, there were eighteen books un
der the former adoption, exclusive of
copy books, and today's contracts car-
ry-twenty-three books for purchase by
the school children of Texas.
The Ave new books cost #2.22. The
new contracts change the contractors
for the first four réadera, but the fifth
reader Is the same, with a reductionof
13 cents in the price for each,,book.
The spellers are" entirely changed,
the American Book company, repre-
sented by Judge W. P. McLean, secur-
ing the modern spoiler at sor advance
of 3 cents over the present speller.
Hyde's' grammars continue in use with
a reduction of 2 and 3 cents' respect
lvely for the first and second books.
The other grammar Is changed but
the price is the-same. The University
Publishing' company secured the two
geographies at a reduction of 2 cents
for the elementary and an advance of
7 cents for the higher. The physlolo-
■gleB- were changed. but the - United
States history remains, exóept the
price was reduced 8 cents for* each of
the two books. Mrs. Pennybacker's
Texas history was retained at the
same price. The arithmetics are not
changed^ though the price is reduced
8 center for each of the hooks. The
cost of tue .first three readers 1b In-
creased 2, 3 and .5 cents, respectively,
while the fourth is 3 cents less. The
physiologies are 8 and 30 cents 1<
respectively.' Copy books are changed
at 1 cent reduction. A completo state-
ment «jf awards with prices of. books

pany of Brownsville, the
new rice of t&e season
to the State of Texas.
For the "first receipts" this
ricéis unquestionably a remarkable
specimen and It would certainly
blush those who have bei
rled off the honors with.* sack
of unripe, half-matured culllngs pi
ed here and there from á vast acreage.

thoroughly matured, the grain being
plump and well filled out. In the clean
statq, it§f« all that «ould be desired
possessing that bloom and lustre
which Is the obaracteridMo of an Ideal
rice. In addition to this, the rice Is
excellently seasoned In spite of 4ts
newness and It Is also uniform
throughout.
If this bag is a sample of the char-
acter' of the cereal that will later
come from the Brownsville country,
the planters of that section are to be
congratulated even in advance upen
their bright prospects for a yield of

Found Two Ousters.
There has been more or less talk,
favorable and otherwise, of the great
oil indications which seemingly crop
out all over this Southeastern Texas
country. Not only to and near Orange
have these Indications made them-
selves manifest, but to tyewtoa «and
Jasper counties as well.
Considerable enthusiasm has been
aroused by the various discoveries of
oil Indications and som« few wells
have been sunk, nearly all proving
dusters.
Some time since what seemed to be
splendid oil sign* were discovered on
Big Cypress bayou In Newton county,
about twepty miles above Orange. An
oil company was organised under the
name of the Sabine Tram Oil
pany, the officers and directors being
the principal officers of the Sabine
Tram company: .All are men of wealth
and undoubted veracity and solid
standing, and those who- took fctoek to
<«ntnp«i>y felC that their interests
would be fully protected—as they
were.
The, company secured the services
of an expert driller and proceeded to
drill for oil. Two wells were drilled,
one to a depth of 2200 feet, and this
other 1300. Both wells were duatan.
A prominent local capitalist, who
was a stockholder In the company
has received a communication from
the company setting forth these facts
and the statement that betwetan 126.
000 and $80,000 were expended to try-
ing to get a producing well on this
tract.
The letter further states that the
company has abandoned all efforts to
secure oil .on this tract. ,
This Is only another proof df the
fallacy that there Is always oil where
the indications are good.

No Traos of Missing Lumberman.
•' 4ftr. M. E. Howland. formerly of Or-
ange. late of Dewejpille, has i
back to Orange and will make this his
future home. Mi. Howland was a
partner in the Trans-Atlantic Lumber
company, organised by htms&f and
Louis Gartner for the development of
their timber concessions to' Mexico.
Mr. Gurtaaer was ipentloned to theaa
columns ait having, been mysteriously
missing from bis relatives and friends
with whom ne and hjx young wife were
visiting In New Orleans. He. reports
that all trace of the mlMttfg man has
been lost and that the hope of ever
finding him or even a clue as to the
manner of bls disappsarance grow*
dimmer every day. f
His relatives and the police are
hopelessly .at sea that they can:
even form any idea as to what m)ght
have caused his disappearance.
The case is a peculiarly sad one and
the young bride of the missing lum-
berman Is grieving herself to death
over his unaccountable absence.
