Greatness and goodness ought to
always go hand in hand but such is
not the case.
' Keep in touch with your side part-
ner. The devil will be at church to-
morrow by a large majority.
The present campaign is good for
one thing. It has grub-staked a few
fellows who were in distressing need
of assistance.
Jupiter Pluvius is "Johnny on the
slot" with the irrefrangible facts
and he is dealing them out in argu-
ments for better streets sidewalks
and public roads.
A pair of bank robbers Jooted a
bank in Kansas arid Walton Peteet
was re-elected chairman of the legis-
lative committee for Texas Unions.
Evidently yesterday had it in for
conservatism.
Do not stay away from church to-
morrow just because you can not
shine in a new Easter rig. Chances
are that many that have new rigging
will be afraid to wear it on account
of the weather
Taking Senator Bailey's own ad-
missions for it. that Austin county
jackass is the first and only anti-
Bailey any thing that he has con-
sented to divide time with and the
jackass put Joe to silence. Score one
for Austin county.
The Waxahachie Daily Light is fif-
teen year- old. It is one of the
brightest of the small dailies of the
state ably edited and not afraid to
speak its sentiments at any and all
times. The paper looks prosperous
and it states editorially that it has
prospered. The Herald trusts that
the years to come will bring even
greater returns for it likes the pa-
pers of the Light's character and be-
lieves that Texas needs more of
them.—Denison Herald. Editor

Continuing the consideration of j
facts as compiled by the Waco j
times-Herald the following section ι
lof that papers well prepared editor-
ial will prove Interesting and ac-
ceptable to those who are seekers
after truth. We ask a careful read-
ing of this.
Mr. Bailey further said to those
Houstonlans:
"Now I understand that 'Coon'
l.lohnson had a draft or rather a tele-
Ικ ram which he made use of in his
speech here. Why was he not hon-
jest enough to tell you that the testi-
I mony showed that I never saw that
Itelegram and that not a word about
it was ever communicated to me? I
I knew nothing about it until they
produced it in the effort to blacken
my name. He did not tell you that
did he? He left you to believe that
1 was a party to it and yet there is
not a syllable of testimony to war-
rant that but it shows that such an
assumption is unwarranted and
false. If it had been true that Strib-
ling or any other gentleman in this
state had threatened to put the Wat-1
ers-Pierce Oil company out of busi-
ness I would have had a righl to j
represent it.
That telegram was not communi- j
cated to me. I never knew anything I
about the circumstances of it. 1 was
not in St. Louis when that telegram i
was received. Yet it says: 'Tell Bai- j
ley I will see him eoqn.' How would
he have said that if I had not been I
in St. Louis? If they had written me
a letter which that telegram must
have su posed they would Wave writ-
ten they would have kept a copy of
it and they would have produced
that as they did the telegram. The
fact is. my countrymen in my opin-
ion that telegram was forged."
The Harris County Democratic
club has put forth a pamphlet entitl- ι
ed "Things that Bailey has admitted
as true" and some of the things
therein stated bear direetly on the
points here in controversy:
"The said H. C. Pierce has never
denied by affidavit or otherwise the
'signing of said receipt showing that
the Waters-Pierce Oil company had
reimbursed him for the $3300 loan-
ed by him to said Bailey nor has he
'(•ver stated under oath or otherwise
that said $3300 was improperly
charged up in the books of the Wat-
ers-Pierce Oil company as ' a de-
mand loan' to Senator Bailey on ac-
count of 'Texas cases.'
"Bailey must admit that the fact
of his having received said $3.300
from H. C. Pierce the president of
said oil company was never volun-
tarily disclosed by him. and also that
the fact cf his having received that
find other immense sums of money
from and through H. C. Pierce the
president of the Waters-Pierce Oil
company amounting in the aggre-ι
Kaie. according to his own admis- I
sions to upward of $200000 did not j
become known to the public until i
the fail of 190β and long after the
primary election of that year and
[then only in a court proceeding.
I ( See investigating proceedings pp.
867 816 817 882 946 and 047.)
"He must admit that up to the
present time he has never publicly j
accused George Clark the attorney
of the Waters-Pierce Oil company at
Waco or J. D. Johnson its general
attorney at St. Louis of being un-
J truthful or engaging in a conspiracy
j to injure him; yet it has been con-
clusively proven that on June 5
11900 the said Clark wrote said
j Johnson that he had better have Mr.
j Bailey communicate with
'who threatens privately to * * *
j have a receiver appointed' for the
Waters-Pierce Oil company and
make some suggestion to him. (The
said Clark admitted the writing of
said letter and the said Johnson ad-
mitted the receipt of same.) (See

ed Andrew M. Finlay the vice pres-
ident of said company to authorize
Bailey to loan —- $1500' and
said telegram also contained these

in June lf>. 1900 the day after said
Waters-Pierce Oil Company paid the

arranged to satisfy at least for the
time being. Henry & Stribling. This
Is strictly confidential."
" 1 The said Johnson admitted the
writing of this letter atid the said
Clark did not deny the receipt of
same). (See said proceedings pp.
93 165 317 3181."
Just to keep the record straight
and to encourage Mr. Bailey to a
discussion of th^ question at issue;
that's all.
There is good in everything also
work for all. The Denison. Herald
says: "That the postofflce depart-
ment is to do its share of the work
in the present campaign for dele-
gates to the national democratic
convention vas evident yesterday af-
ternoon when nine mail bags stuffed
to the limit with Bailey literature j
arrived from Fort Worth. This liter-
ature is in newspaper form and is
headed "Bailey Campaign Truth.''
and contains as much thunder as
can be crowded into a sheet of eight ]
pages. Each copy is stamped "pos- !
tage paid 1 cent." If mail bags hold '
a thousand each it cost just $90 for
postage alone for the supply sent to
Denison. If the same number is sent
to other towns the size of Denison
this campaign is going to eat a
large hole in the $25000 campaign
fund pledged by the senator's
friends." If the money used for cam-j
paign purposes by the Bailey* and j
anti-Bailey factions could be used in
the interest of Texas development
much good would be accomplished.
Enough ef anything is a great
sufficiency. The Garland News like
this paper has been preaching and
practicing moderation in dealing
with Baileyism and has been thor-
oughly "cussed" for its trouble. Now
the News turns over a new leaf and
bands out the following advice:
"The News has for some weeks been
urging moderation and regard fnr
the other fellows' views on the Bai-
ley question but the only reader af-
fected by this free advice lives in
Oregon. Now we've quit. If you want
to make a dad-blamed monkey of
yourself over men who wouldn't !
know you from Adam's house cat;
the News will not object. Tear your !
shirt pull your hair cuss your;
neighbors and called the other fel- ;
low a double-geared rantankeran
carmine-colored anarchist—and do j
some sane thinking after May 2d.
We believe this is the only piece of
advice offered during the entire
campaign that will be followed."
Senator Bailey is going to spare
Houston and not destroy Buffalo
Bayou improvements and other pub-
lic works. He said in his Houston
speech: "These men sometimes say
that 1 am vindictive. But they do not
believe it and I will tell you why.
They know my power in the senate !
and if they believed that I would :
reap my vengeance upon the people j
who oppose me they would not be ι
asking Houston to vote against me. ■
would they? Because if I were half:
as mean as they and Houston did
vote gu^isl me. I would
loi k tin· t'ofuny of the ;
I'nited States against Houston for
the balance of my life. But 1 am nol
that kind and if Houston has
enough bad men to beat me I will
still do what I can for Houston for
the sake of the good people who are
here." Apparently Houston is safe.

WHISKEY EXPLODES.
Delaware .Alan's Cupboard Wrecked
by Dry Town Liquor.
Milford. Del.. April 13.—A prom-
inent man of this town wishing some
whiskey for medicinal purposes pur-
chased a half pint from a neighbor-
ing village in Maryland which was
recently carried by the temperance
people but the hotels of which have
not closed their bars.
Arriving home late he placed the
bottle on a cupboard shelf in the
kitchen and retired Tor the night.
Near morning he heard a noise
which sounded as though an earth-
quake had visited the town. Hur-
riedly donning his clothes he rushed
downstairs to ascertain the amount
of damage done and as he passed
the kitchen cupboard he saw the
doors of the same blown open and
shelf shattered and the whisky bot-
tle in fragments—it had exploded.

ΝI ne-Year-Old Attacked While on j
His Way Home After Dark. I
Winnipeg. Manitoba April 18.— |
A nine-year-old boy residing on the !
Big Fork River opposite the Cana- I
was eaten by timber wolves who at-
tacked him as he was returning home
from school. The boy had been de-
tained at the schoolhouse until 4
o'clock when it was becoming dark.
The boy's failure to return caused
his mother to go in search of him.
She had not traveled far when she
found several pieces of torn clothing
and finally discovered the boy's
shoes. Later bones of the body and
parts of the clothing were picked up.

cottages and buildings seemed to
spring up iike mushrooms.
Please sir" said one of his fore-
men. rushing up to him one morning
in a state of mental collapse "one
of the new houses has fallen down
in the night."
"What?" he roared. "You mean
to say that one of my well built de-
sirable residential houses has come
to grief? Ah I suppose you took the
scaffolding down before you put on
the wall paper?"
"Yes sir."
"Well what can you expect you
rank outsider? Call yourself a fore-
man? Get off the job. You're sack-
ed."—Detroit News-Tribune.
His Nerve.
Speaking of a Wall street operator a
broker said: "The man e nerve ie amaz-
ing. It shocks me. It reminds me of a
money leader to whom a friend of
mine a great rider to bounds once re-
sorted.
" 'Yes.' said the money lender to my
embarrassed friend. Ί will renew your
note but only on one condition sir-
namely. that during the next paiwr
chase at Lenox you scatter from your
bag these 5(KX) pink slips bearing my

What is medicine for? To cure you if sick you say.
But one medicine will not cure every kind of sickness because different
medicines act on different parts of the body. One medicine goes to the liver
another to the spine Wine of Cardui to the womanly organs. So that is why
Wine of Cardui
has proven so efficacious in most cases of womanly disease. Try it.
