LEASE ON PROSPERITY.
I
dispatch from Chicago, under date
JiH, conveys the cheering news that
bumper crops of wheat and corn things
right in the West. It says:
th a big winter wheat crop already gar
fed, a record-breaking spring wheat yield in
Northwestern states and provinces practi-
assured, a corn production which, barring
frosts, promises to run close to the 3,000,-
bushel mark, the agricultural states of
West are furnishing, according to finan-
and manufacturers, the basis for a new
long lease on prosperity.
“By far the most important Western an-
tcement in the steel trade during last week
those that the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe had virtually completed the placing of or-
a's for -130,000. tons of rails for 1910 delivery,
and the Chicago & Northwestern had placed
contracts for equipment aggregating a total
value of $11,000,000. The Atchison’s rail order
|S largely for the completion of Texas mileage
i.: work.
“From Nebraska conies word that despite the
' .hot weather of the past two weeks and the dam
ages caused to the corn thereby Nebraska will,
from present prospects, raise the largest crop
of corn this year that has ever been produced in
the state.
“With a 50,000,000 bushel wheat crop just
being threshed and other crops proportionately
large, there is every indication that Nebraska
will have more money this winter than can be
used there.
“Already every bank in the state is overflow
ing with money, and instead of this state sell-
ing mortgages and business paper in the East,
millions of dollars of Eastern paper is being
placed among Nebraska farmers and business
men.
“Missouri and Illinois fanners are preparing
to harvest the banner crops of many years,
particularly of early com and wheat. The safe
ty and abundance of the late com is in doubt
because of the recent heat wave and drouth. A
rain is badly needed to insure it.
“Business generally has improved through
the state in the last four months.
“Reports from Pitts'burg state that with the
rapid rate at which material is being specified
on contracts for finished steel products many
contracts will come up for renewal well before
the end of the year instead of lasting through
.t%-ye«r, as was expected, and some steel man
lliuturers definitely predict a general buying
^j||>veinent in November similar to that which
reached its height in May.”
and with everything against the
aibility of th^ir being cured.
That this stigma is to be removed and that
right quickly is a source of gratification and
we trust that the governor will not allow his
interest in the matter to subside until he has
accomplished the much-to-be-desired result.
A GREAT ORGANIZATION.
There is no question of greater importance
to the people of Texas than that of life insur-
ance. The man of moderate means relies upon
his insurance policy to provide for his wife and
little ones should he suddenly be called from
this vale of tears. The inau in business de-
pends upon his life insurance policy to take
care of his obligations and put his business
clear for his heirs should he be suddenly called
up6n to lay down his burdens. The man of
wealth depends upon his insurance policy to
provide ready funds for his family when Death
calls him away, and to supplement his estate
of stocks, bonds and securities that are not so
readily converted into cash. In fact, life in-
surance is a great national necessity, and that
being the case, the people naturally want the
very best to be had. In this connection, Texas
is building up a great organization that prom-
ises to take its place rapidly among the lead-
ing life insurance organizations of the world—
the Guarantee Life, of Houston. The growth
of this company has been marvelous and yet its
growth has hardly begun. There are many
policy holders in Orange in this company and
every one of them is delighted with his policy,
which is working out even more to their ad-
vantage than had been estimated. Especially is
this true of the early policies written, and yet
the present policies possess every advantage
that the first ones did, with many added ad-
vantages. The Leader, voluntarily and hearti-
ly recommends the Guarantee Life to any one
desiring to investigate the question of life in-
surance.
A scientific society in session now in Wiscon-
sin will try to stop the public’s believing the
sensational astronomical news that is given out.
While this is undoubtedly inspired bv the
things Beaumont and Orange think they see in
the heavens at night, the society need have no
uneasiness. The public is not believing things
just because those two towns are afraid to go
home in the dark.—Port Arthur News.
Stump seems to he real envious because he
didn’t get to see that airship, or Star of Beth-
lehem, or whatever it was that entertained the
people of Orange and Beaumont with its antics
in the skies. Guess he had gotten past that
■stage before the star appeared in the heavens.

Why Not Sarto Wedding Festlvltlssf
i The friends of a newly-wedded pair
In Burlington, Vt„ thought It would
bo a good Joko to hire a truckman
to block the way to the station and
prevent the couple from boarding the
train to go on thetr wedding Journey,
i The truckman carried out his part of
1 the program when the wedding party

j riage containing the newlyweds waa

I ttson seemed Imminent. To nvert this,
[ the driver reined the horses to one
side and thereby collided with a tele-
graph pole, wrecking the carriage and
Injuring both the bridegroom and the
driver. The case affords a fair ex-
ample of the foolish and dangerous

merry makers at weddings. It Is time
that an organised crusade was made

The membership of the Catholic church in
Orange is not numerous nor wealthy, but they
have a determination and an earnestness that
is commendable, and this earnestness • and en-
thusiasm is being demonstrated in the determi-
nation to erect a house of worship worthy the
importance of a city the size of Orange. To this
end they have organized a building committee
and inaugurated a movement that will result
in the erection of a handsome modern, brick
church, to cost between $10,000 and $15,000.
That they will succeed goes without saying.
A COMMENDABLE DETERMINATION.

ing credit where credit is due, and even though |

Thus it is, that the Leader notes with ex
to©*ne pleasure the positive announcement of
Governor Campbell that he is going to remove
all insane people from the jails of the state
and see that they are properly cared for in the
asylums prepared for them.
•—To,, this end he has written the sheriff of
every county in Texas to advise him immediate-
of the number of insane persons confined in
jails of their county, and has also written
the superintendents of the insane asylums
sting a report from them as to the nuin-
* of patients they can accommodate with
present facilities and what is needed in

It has been disappointing, indeed, that all
efforts to locate an oil field in Orange conntv
have proven futile, but the people are not alto-
gether discouraged and preparations are being
natle to sink another well in the hope of atrik
ing the oil vein that has up to this time eluded
every effort of the drillers. With oil to th.
west of us and oil to the east of us. it can hardly
lie possible that there is none underneath us.

That’s a solar plexus blow. Hit ’em again,
Krebs. We like to hear that sort of preach-
ing and trust that every reader of the Leader
will let that sink into his cranium so deeply it
can never be removed.

It had haughtily declined to stop or
even slacken speed at a town so
small, and those at the depot saw the
mall clerk disdainfully kick the limp
gray pouch out the door as the train
whizzed past.
Now the crowd had followed Jimmy
Miller, the assistant station agent, to
the little postofflce, and was waiting
to see If by any chance a letter or
card or circular had came.
"Anything for me, Btnioft?" inquired
old man Davis from the Buck Creek
region, thruattng his whiskered face
into the little window
The poet master looked at him cold-
ly, as befitted a government servant
engaged lu an Important duty, and
made no reply. The crowd laughed
and old man Davis became red under
his tobacco-stained whiskers.
“Huh." he said. "Jest because some
people kin hand out half a dozen let.
ters a day they think they’re some-
th lug.” He turned to the window
again
‘Lookye here, you little Iml.l head*
ed runt,” he said -’’You gimme n»y
mail. If there’s any. I'm In a hurry,"
The postmaster swelled visibly. Such
talk to an employe ot the government
was unbearable.

Then It was that the jteople assem-

thing. A plain farmer from up Buck

“You nieasley little, no-count, fat-

Sarcasm at Royalty’s Expense.
"There waa great consternation In
official circles at Breslau,” says Ulk,
"when his majesty the king of Wur-
temberg refused to enter the royal
apartment prepared far him at the
railroad station, and aat down In the
public waiting room, where be or-
dered and drank a glass of beer. The
regiment of Infantry which had been
