It's sweetest care.

To toil beneath the Southern Cross
Dear home and every fond ambition
A blessed loss.
Thon wilt not fear theheaving ocean
Will bear thee safely to the shore.
And how with early cmld-deotion

For he who gat e the Benediction
"Lo I am with you" to the last.
Will hallow every dark affliction
Till time is pasL
On to thr field Ihc sweet old story
. That thou dids't leam in childhood's

Will ope to others fields of glory
Fairer than ours.
Oh blessed task the heart to lighten.
To bear like Ifim the oil and wine;
Life's rugged path to smooth and brighten
Anauus is uunc.
Oh blesstd lot the message bearing
To waiting souls all sin forgien;
To see in visions thousands w earing
Their crowns in heacn.
Thrice blessed lot thy kindred lea ing
To walk with Himofloulymien
And watching toiling and believing
Tul heaven's seen.
Farewell my daughter till the meeting
Where sin and death are know n no more
And tod shall end in blissful greeting
All sorrow o'er.

HYDRqpHOBU. Mr. August
Koch had a very fine pointer
slut bit by a vagrant dog some
three months ago; about a week
ago the slut became sick and
on Friday afternoon exhibited
all signs of hydrophobia biting
at everything within reach.
Mr. Koch killed her. He would
not have sold her for a $50 bill.
On Saturday Mr. Frank evan-
sick killed a supposed mad dog
in the fourth ward. Vagrant
dogs and worthless curs arc a
public nuisance and if means
can be invented to get rid of
them it should be done.
San Jacinto Day. With the
exception of the closing of the
banks the day was wholly unob-
served. The district court was

sioners court and all the county

ness hours as usual. The pic-
nic on Woodward's creek was
'veil attended and a good time
was had. At Independence

On Thursday morning dur-

Mr. H. R. von Biberstein Jr.
and wife from their home near
Winedalc in the southwestern
portion of the county their
house was broken into by a
strange negro who captured
two watches and a revolver. Mr.
B. and his wife were in the
field when the visitation was
made. Friday morning consta-
ble Ronshauscn of precinct No.
6 overhauled the thief in Bas-
sett's lane near town. He was
taken back to Grccnvinc where
he had a preliminary examina-
tion before justice Meyer. Mr.
von litberstcin was with tnc

made and fully identified his
property the watch and revolv-
er which was found on the pris-
oner. In addition to the stolen

Death of Dr. Alexander.
Rev. Robert Alexander L.
L. D. died at his residence in
Chappell Hill on Wednesday
morning at 6 o'clock at the age
of seventy years. He had been
in feeble health for some time.
The deceased was born in Ten
nessee and came to Texas at an
early day being one of the first
missionaries of the Methodist
church sent to this state and he
may be regarded as the father
of the Methodist church in Tex-
as. He had been actively en-
gaged in the ministry for half a
century and was well known
throughout the state. His death
will be universally regretted.
He lived a long useful and ac-
tive life and has gone to his reward-
Nearly a Fatal Mistake.
Thursday morning Mr. and Mrs.
James T. Lott administered
what they thought was quinine
to their two children a boy and
a girl aged respectively five and
three years. The powder was
given about 7 o'clock and in a
short time afterward the chil-
dren became very drowsy; the
cause was suspected and Dr.
Lockett was sent for and at
once gave antidotes. Morphine
had been given instead of qui-
nine. By vigorous measures
and forcibly keeping the chil-
dren awake the effects of the
drug was overcome and last
evening both children were con-
sidered to be out of danger. It
was a very narrow and fortun-
ate escape; had the medicine
been administered at night in-
stead of in the morning fatal re-
sults would have ensued before
the mistake was discovered.
Time. There is absolutely
no excuse for any one to be
without the time now-a-days.
H. W. Graber has just received
a large invoice of clocks from
the best makers. He has kitch-
en clocks for S1.50 and a good
striking and alarm clock as low
as $4 and clocks at all prices up
as high as S20 or S30 or more.
His assortment is the largest
and best ever exhibited in Bren-
ham.. All are invited to call and
examine goods and prices.
Theft and Recovery. A
few days ago a valuable silver-
plated ice pitcher used in the
pulpit of the Baptist church and
a present was stolen from the
church and carried away. It
was heard of at the house of a
negro tenant living on Mrs.
Burton's place near Burton. A

From Caldncll
Special to Banner:
Caldwell April 21. To-
day our citizens congregated at
a spring convenient to the city
and celebrated the anniversary
ofthe battle of San Jacinto the
day that gave independence to
Texas. Vistors from all parts
ofthe county were present' also
a number from other counties.
Speeches were made by Mr. R.
S. Tarver of Brenham and
Rev. Mr. Dunn of Lyons. Dr.
Hillary Ryan acted as marshal
of the day and as usual per-
formed his duties to perfection.
The speeches were splendid
though the effort was made in
favor of prohibition instead of
portraying the glories attained
by the result of the San Jacinto
battle.
After the speaking the as-
sembled multitude partook of a
sumptjous'dinncr. Everything
passed off pleasantly and all
seemed to enjoy themselves.
To-night the young folks will
enjoy the dance at the court-
house where the youth and
beauty of which Caldwell is so
justly proud will mingle.

time prior to the trial but
through some informality the
confession was not in proper
shape to be admitted as evi-
dence. The murder was a bru-
tal one three other parties be-
ing implicated in it. Thomp-

Al'IankKoad front llrciihani to In-
dependence. The last winter convinced
Independence that the preascnt
road through lines of travel at
times almost impassible can
no longer be tolerated and
that there must be a change.
A rail road north ofthe Yegua
can be of no advantage to either
Brenham or Independence. It
can draw no trade from Wash-
ington county unless a tap of
four or five miles of some sort
is erected by said road itself
across the Yegua botton. A
plank road from Brenham to
Independence could be built for
$10000 or Si 2000 I presume
without making any definite
calculation. A company could
be formed of which lumber
men might be induced to take
shares shares could be placed
at S25 payable in'installments
of S5- on call as the work pro-
gressed.;BrenhamIndepcndence and the intervening country
(with lumber men who would
be greatly interested in it) could
take all the shares. A moder-
ate toll would pay all expen-
ses keep the road in repair and
at no distant period pay a divi
dend. Well managed it would
be a success would secure to
Brenham all or nearly all the
cotton of the county and give

ing the festivities of a "picnic."
Rev S. L. Littlepage delivered
an address to the Knights of

nished music for the occasion
and everything passed off pleas-
antly. Mr. J. A. Traylor left
here day before yesterday in
pursuit of two convicts who had
borrowed some horse flesh near
our town; he came up with the
two gentlemen near Calvert in
the river bottom; as soon as they
discovered that they were pur-
sued they put whip and spur
with all of their might and
Traylor began the use of his
sixsnooter which proved suc-
cessful on one of the chaps but
the other escaped.
