The provisions and purpbse of the
proposed amendment are simple, di-
rect and plain, and no confusion need
exist in the minds of the people of
Texas in respect thereto.
The amendment when adopted will
simply substitute State-wide Prohibi-
tion for the option now exercised by
subdivisions of the state to have local
prohibition.
It' aims to destroy the liquor traf-
fic in the entire state, exactly as it
can now be destroyed in localities,
and is directed only against the busi-
ness of selling liquor.
▲s was well stated recently by Dr.
B. If- Carroll: “The amendment does
not say, ‘Thou shalt not drink whis-
key,^ but Thou shalt not sell whiskey
in Texas,’” The proposed law seeks
to abolish outright as legal business
the traffic in spirituous liquors con-
fessedly evil and lawless in1 effect
which other laws hitherto have vainly
attempted to regulate and restrict
within safe bounds.
Wfcsn State-wide Prohibition is
adopted alcoholic liquors can be man-
ufactured or sold within the state
for medicinal, scientific and sacramen-
tal purposes. It will not be unlawful
to make wine or spirituous liquors for
any purposes other than their sale,
barter or exchange.
The amendment also specifically
provides that ALL LAWS IN FORCE
When same is adopted SHALL RE-
MAIN IN> FULL FORCE AND EFFECT
UNTIL? MODIFIED OR REPEALED.
The state will be amply protected
until the Legislature acts* and until
new laws are passed the old ones will
govern.—Bangs Enterprise.
COTTON SEED MEAL AND HULLS.
It is fortunate for feeders of the
Southwest that there is cheap and nu-
tritious concentrate that can be used
when hay and grain are short. While
grain and hay cannot be dispensed
with in the ration, the amount ordi-
narily used can be reduced when a
drouth or other , causes of short crops
makes this desirable. Even when
grain and hay crops are abundant, it
is not economic feeding to depend on
hay and grain alone; a concentrate
is needed to balance the ration.
Bxperlente has taught that cotton
seed meal and hulls are very valu
able articles for feed and the feeder
who lives near oil mills where these
products can be obtained without
paying big freight bills is fortunate.
Meal and hulls are greatly to be de-
sired in feeding animals, and there
are many feeders who have not yet
realized the importance of these prod-
ucts of the Sunny South.—Farm and
Ranch.
CHICAGO REAL ESTATE.
Chicago, 111., July 14.—A record
breaking price was paid for real es-
tate in Chicago yesterday when a
large department store bought a par-
cel of land 25 by 90 feet on State
street near Washington street for
1500,000. This is at the rate of $25,-
000 a foot and >277.77 a square foot.
The same concern also acquired by
lease an lot fronting 31 feet on State
street and 150 1-2 feet deep. The an-
nual rental is approximately $30,000,
which capitalized on a four per cent,
basis, the usual rule in down town
property, gives a leasing value of $750,-
000, which is at the rate of $31,250 a
front foot.

GIRL DISGUISES AS NEGRESS.
Greenville, Texas, July 11.—A young
woman from Memphis, Tenn., about
2l years of age, was arrested here to-
dfiy while blacked up and disguised
as a negress. Her identity has not
yet been learned. She claimed to be
hunting for work, but in reality was
.searching for her former sweetheart
vAhom she claims was engaged to mar-
her in Memphis but who, she says,
married another girl. She has been
h£re four or five days searching for
the man, who, it appears, moved away
from here several months ago.
The young woman in her alleged
search first went to Dallas, where she
secured employment and worked for
several weeks. She is prepossessing
iri appearance.
RESORT TO SUPERSTITION.
Muskogee, Okla., July 15.—The full-
blood Creek Indians in the vicinity of
Wetumka, Okla.,) have become seri-
ously alarmed over the continued
drouth which threatens the loss of
their crops and a winter of famine, and
have resorted to ancient tribal cus-
toms to induce rain. Farmers near
Wetumka have found numbers of mud
turtles bound to stakes along the
Canadian river, which is at a very low
stage. The turtles were tied within a
few inches of the river, where they
could see the water but could not reach
it unless a rain and consequent rise
in the river brought the water closer
to them.
Inquiry developed that the full-
bloods had caught hundreds of turtles
which were staked out along the river
to “pray for rain.” It is the Indian
theory that the turtles in their dying
agony will implore the “Great Spirit”
to send the rain and that their prayers
will be granted. Some of the compul-
sory prayers of the turtles seem to
have been answered, for there have
been several rains, but the Indians are
continuing their proxy petitions to
PrAvidence in hopes of a deluge that
will guarantee late crops and prpvi-
sion for the winter.

rounding the entire form of the sub-
ject. »
“Last night,” said Dr. O’Donnell,
“in the presence of several physicians
at Mercy Hospital, I tried the exper-
iment on a dying man. 'He was rap-
idly sinking. Suddenly the attending
physician announced the man was
dead. The “aura” began to spread
from the body and presently disap-
peared. Further observation of the
corpse revealed no sign of the “aura.”
“We do not claim that the light is
the soul or spirit. In rfact, no aite
seems to know what is. In my
opinion, however, it is some sort of
.radio activity made visible by the use
of the chemical screen. My experi-
FLIGHT OF A LIFE.
Washington, July 15.—“The flight
of a life” has been witnessed, accord-
ing to a statement made today by Dr.
Patrick S. O’Donnell, an X-ray expert,
who has been following up experi-
ments made by Dr. W. J. Kilner of
London, England, who has written
a scientific paper on the subject.
Some time ago, using a chemical-
ized film sealed between two thin
strips of glass, Dr. O’Donnel gave &
demonstration to twenty physicians
of the “aura” or “electrical radiation”
of living bodies, four young women
being used as subjects. The Vaura”
developed as a strong ray oMight sur-
ments, however, seem , to prove thatl %||
it is the animating power, or| current
of life, of human beings.’

NO MEXICANS WANTED.
About a week ago a carload of Mex-
icans passed through Honey Grove
en route to Red River county, where
they had been employed to clear some
land. They were put to work by a
land owner about two miles from
Bagwell and all seemed to go well for
a time. But after a few days some
of the people of the community con-
cluded they didn’t want any Mexicans
in the country, and Friday two men
went to the camp and told the Mexi-
cans If they didn’t get out of the
country they would be shot out. The
Mexicans concluded they did not want
to stay where they were not wanted,
and left.—Honey Grove Signal.
