A Lamar county youth is in
jail for obtaining a sack of tobac-
co under false pretenses. And
the law purposes to “make him
smoke.”
Really, there’s no telling what
the line-up in the gubernatorial
race might have been if Col.
Wade, of Quinlan, had not prov-
ed a quitter._
When William J. Bryan comes
home from Europe it will be for
only a short stay. After a few
weeks’ rest he will leave for Aus-
tralia. Billie knows ha has eight
years hard work before him as
President and wants to see all of
the country before taking charge
of the nation’s affairs.
August, the high-noon of the
summer season, brings more
joy and more fear to the heart of
the Texan than any other month.
When she sits queenlike on her
summer throne, dispensing gold-
en days and clear, star-lit nights,
the Texan watches the abun-
dance of sun and soil with glad
Men who stand well with all who
know them have been accused of
dishonesty; others who have liv-
ed sober lives from boyhood have
been denounced as drunkards.
This is politics—but it is a brand
that should make all decent peo -
pie sick. The man who will cir-
culate a false, slanderous report
face and his heart beats a joy- and blacken the reputation of a
Not all the county convention
proceedings are printed in this
paper. A part of the platform
was omitted by mistake, and some
of the chairman’s remarks were
also left out
The state school fund has been
prorated and the apportionment
is $5 for each scholastic. This is
a reduction of 25 cents from last
year’s apportionment, but there
are a great many more children.
The crack in the Bonham court
house has been covered up with
cement so visitors can’t see it,
but the covering will deceive no-
body. It is with that court-house
crack as it is with the crack in
a man’s reputation. The lat-
ter, Josh Billings said, “may pos-
sibly be repaired, but the public
will always keep its eye on the
spot where the crack was.”
Bids were received last week
-for the thirty million-dollar Pan-
ama canal bonds. The whole is-
sue was subscribed at an average
price a shade under one hundred
and four. The bonds draw two
per cent interest and are availa-
ble for national banks as a basis
for the issue of bank notes. The
bond sale will therefore mean an
increase in currency.
ful march. But when thick clouds
mantle the sky, casting a sombre
shadow over field and town—
when the gentle tapping of the
raindrops is heard upon the roof
—fear takes possession of the
Texan’s soul. Such days have
no beauty nor charm, for they
bring only visions of boll worms
marching a thousand abreast and
in endless line, and he sees the
cotton falling before its enemies
as the Austrians fell before Na-
poleon at Lodi bridge. Like the
spoiled little girl, when August is
good, she’s very, very good, but
when she’s bad she’s horrid.
fellow-man simply to prevent his
election to an office is a very sor-
ry man and if he has the confi-
dence of his fellows, he has some-
thing he isn’t entitled to.
LARGEST RANCH OWNER.
Now that it is known that Col.
Randell is re-elected to Congress,
we demand of him a promise that
he will not mix any Bermuda
grass with our next installment of
garden seeds. We didn’t hit him
hard and are entitled to the best
varieties of beans and squashes.
A Chicago dispatch announces
that a new troupe of one hundred
chorus girls has just been organ
ized in that city and will make a
tour of Texas, beginning at Dal-
las. Alas for Col. Bill Sterrett
and Hugh Fitzgerald! Caesar
Young had his Nan Patterson,
Stanford White his Evalyn Nes-
bitt—and a chorus girl has eyes
just as dreamy and ways just as
cute in Dallas as in New York.
Paris people are bestirring
themselves to raise $50,000 in or-
der to secure Mr. Carter’s rail-
road, which is headed south
through the Territory. They
have a big task on hand and one
they are by no means sure of
meeting. ___________
The Colorado river has been
very high this week and great
damage has been done in the San
Angelo and Balliilger country.
Many houses in the lowlands
were washed away and farms
were practically ruined. Several
persons are reported drowned.
Railroad bridges were washed
away, cutting off all travel.
Chicago has had another big
bank failure and several millions
are gone. As a result of the fail-
ure two depositors are dead al-
ready, one dropping dead when
the news reached him, and the
other committing saioide by blow-
ing out his brains. It was known
as a family bank and its deposi-
tors were principally poor people.
Pennsylvania has chosen a
queer group of ducks to immor-
talize on the bronze doors of her
new state capitol. There are,
among others, the features of
Quay, Penrose, Pennybacker,
Durham, and Senator Clark, of
Montana, who was born in Penn-
sylvania. A motley group in-
deed to represent the ideals of
Pennsylvania statesmanship in
imperishable bronze. Benjamin
Franklin, William Penn and Rob-
ert Morris may count themselves
lucky not to have been included
in this list of notables.
Word comes from Europe that
W. J. Bryan will accept the nom-
ination for president only upon
the condition that if he is elected
he must not be asked to serve a
second term. This is probably
the story of some correspondent
who was running short on copy,
and it seems that he might have
furnished a better one. There’s
no law to force any man to accept
a second term, and it’s hardly
probable that any man will ever
decline a position he wants for
fear of having a second term
forced upon him.
In their campaigns for Gover-
nor O. B. Colquitt spent $9,-
806.57; C. K. Bell $9,734.65; M.
M. Brooks $13,852.54, and T. M.
Campbell $15,662.83. Only one
of the aforementioned gentlemen
can be nominated, and it is quite
likely that the lucky one will hold
the place for four years at a sal-
ary of $4,000, or $16,000 for the
four years. Honors come high
in Texas, and only the well-to-do
can afford them. The fellow who
is struggling to meet his grocery
bills, after reading a list of the
campaign expenses, will be hard
to convince that there’s a smart
man in the race. Col. Campbell
paid the most money and receiv-
ed the greatest number of votes.
This looks fair enough and no-
body ought to raise a howl. But
the average man will be very apt
to say to himself that giving $15,-
000 for the privilege of working
four years is a poor bargain. Five
hundred dollars would buy a
mighty fine time on the seashore
or in the Adirondacks.
To-morrow the second primary,
next Tuesday the state conven-
tion, and then we’ll have a rest
from politics for two long years,
thank the Lord. It has been a
dirty campaign, from Governor
down to county officers, and we
hope never to see its like again.
Candidates for Governor have
gone over the state abusing each
other and some of them have
made personal attacks upon peo-
ple who saw fit not to support
them. The public discussions
have not been upon a high plane
and the people have been treated
to abuse and coarse repartee
rather than to dignified discus-
sions of issues. The county cam-
paign has been even dirtier. In
their efforts to elect their favor-
ites some people have sought to
blacken the names and ruin the
reputations of other candidates.
Mrs. H. M. King Now Possesses Over
One Million Acres.
Owning a ranch of 1,000,000
acres—twice as big as the state of
Rhode Island, and as large as the
entire state of Delaware—Mrs. H.
M. King is one of the richest
women in the world.
She is estimated to be worth not
less than $50,000,000 the larger
part of which she has made her-
self since the death of her hus-
band twenty-five years ago. The
fluctuations of stocks and the
Wall Street panics have no terrors
for her, as her wealth is in cattle
and land.
By the purchase of the Los
Laurelos ranch, which is adjacent
to her own ranch of Santa Ger-
trudes, Mrs. King becomes the
largest ranch owner in the world.
The Los Laurelos consisted of
170,000 acres.
She has more than 100,000 head
of cattle, and the St. Louis,
Brownsville & Mexico road runs
through her preperty for more
than 100 miles.
During the last year she has
given away 65,000 acres—35,000
for the building of the railroad
and 30,000 acres for the town of
Kingsville, named for her hus-
band. At one time it was esti-
mated that it was fifty-odd miles
from her doorway to her front
gate.
Mrs. King’s ranch, the Santa
Gertrade, is an enormous revenue
producer. While the most of her
land is used for stock raising,
practically every acre is suscep-
tible of the highest cultivation.
In the last twenty-five years the
land has increased in value from
15 to 20 cents an acre to $15 to
$20. It is all in the artesian wa-
ter belt and can be irrigated.
Such land under cultivation in
Texas is selling for $120 an acre.
It is Mrs, King’s plan to reclaim
all the grazing land she owns,
and, by boring artesian wells, ir-
rigate it and rent and lease it to
practical and progressive farm-
ers. It is estimated the estate
will be worth $200,000,000 within
a few years.
We will pay cash for good bran
bags. Bring them to the mill.—

Money Found Under an Old Building
in Paris.
Yesterday morning a veritable
treasure bag was discovered be-
between the first and second floors
of the building formerly occupied
by the Lynn photograph gallery.
The structure is situated at the
corner of Clarksville and Rusk
streets and is one of the oldest in
Paris. From the year 1868 until
last fall a photograph gallery-
said to have been the oldest in
North Texas—was located there.
Mr. S. Lynn owned the building
and established the studio.
Dr. Phipps, the dentist who
now occupies an office in the
Lynn building, was having some
repair work done about the rooms
on the second floor. In an apart-
ment formerly used as a dark
room by the photographers, was
noticed a small aperture around
a water pipe. It seemed that the
plumbers had made the hole in
the floor. The dentist noticed a
small cedar box between the floors
and ordered the negro to draw it
out. Opening the box a shot sack
was disclosed. The negro laid
his hand on the mouth of the sack
and it fell to pieces. Bright sil-
ver coins were scattered over the
floor of the office. Both Dr.
Phipps and the servant were as-
tounded and amazed. The mon-
ey was gathered up and placed in
the possession of C. D. Caldwell,
agent for the Lynn estate.
The shot sack contained $86 in
money, the latest coin having
been turned out by the mint in
1879. Some of the coins were
very rare and valuable.
It is believed that Mr. Lynn
placed the money between the
floors and that it was hidden in
the early ’80’s. He either forgot
the existence of the $86 or had no
occasion to use the money, hence
it remained undisturbed until yes-
terday. It is known that Mr.
Lynn was accustomed to hide his
money. At one time he sewec
$3000 in his bed room carpet and
left it thus secreted until a short
time before his death. — Paris

MARY CONNOR COLLEGE.
A Select School for Girls.—A Con-
servatory of Music, College of
Fine Arts, School of
Expression.
Mary Connor College is one of the
leading institutions of the South. She
has the strongest and most thorough
musical faculty in the state. Prof. Al-
bert Marcus, the director, is one of the
finest vocal teachers in America. He
studied voice culture, tone, production
and voice development for several
years in Berlin, Germany, since which
time he has taught voice in the Chica-
go Conservatory of Music. His wife,
after graduating in the New England
Conservatory, Boston, in piano* spent
two years in Berlin, Germany, contin-
uing the piano under the greatest mas-
ters. She is not only a great teacher,
a brilliant performer, but an artist in
both.
Our violin and expression teacher,
Miss Blanche Baird Winfield, is known
from Kentucky to the Gulf as a violin-
‘ist and reader. She has taught for the
past five years in the Mont Eagle Chau-
tauqua with eminent success.
The art teacher, Miss Buchanan, af-
ter graduating in one of the very best
schools of the south, went to New York
to complete her course. She has taught
with success for the past ten years, go
ing north and east almost every sum-
mer to keep abreast with the latest and
best.
Our literary department is without
an equal in any girl’s school in Texas.
The graduates in the A. B. degree can
go to the University of Chicago and
graduate in two years. The course in
Mathematics, Languages and Science
is very complete and thorough. Girls
who wish to teach can not afford to
miss this course of study. Those who
wish to make music or art a specialty,
can at their option take a lighter
course leading to the M. E. L. degree.
This course gives a girl a good English
education, to which add Music or Art*
she becomes a woman of culture and
refinement.
All in all, Mary Connor College is the
college for Texas girls because they can
get all they want at home in any line
of work. The college prepares girls
who desire to teach either in Music,
Art, Mathematics, or to engage in pub-
lic school work, in fact we prepare
them to be happy in correct living and
to be able to bear the responsibility of
a useful life. For a new illustrated
catalogue and full particulars, address

State Pasteur Institute.
There are now twenty-six pa-
tients in the State Pasteur Insti-
tute at Austin, the average being
about twenty, but the maximum
was thirty-eight, who were there
several months ago. A recent
arrival is a veterinary surgeon,
who was bitten by a mad horse.
The institute continues to do
successful preventive work, hav-
ing lost only one patient out of
over two hundred, and while the
charges are quite small, and free
if the patient is indigent, the in-
stitute has paid its own expenses
and has an accumulated surplus
of nearly $2,000.
It can be said that the estab-
lishment of the institute has been
a godsend to many a person who
has been bitten by a mad dog,
rabid cat, coyote or other animal,
and who has been rushed here
and successfully treated. The

for treatment is but $25, and

cares to stop. Heretofore pa-
tients would be compelled to go
to Chicago, at great cost, and
pay $100 to $200 for treatment
with high board in addition.
Maud Muller on a summer day,

and took her off to school. The
