raised for the purpose of making
that and no other purpose. Those
who aspire to these offices should be
well informed on the subject, for in
their official capacity they will have
more to do in any effort we may
make to build good roods, than any
other people or officers, and hence
they ought to speak out plainly and
let us know what they favor and
what they oppose, that we may vote
intelligently and fill these offices
with friends, and not enemies, to
good roads.
When you find a candidate for
one of thes offices who has no well
settled convictions on the subject, or
is afraid that he might lose a vote
by making public his honest convic-
tions, he is the right man to scratch
on your ticket for two good and suf-
ficient reasons, to-wit: 1st, Knowing
the importance of the subject and
his responsibility in the premises if
elected, if he has not a weU inform-
ed judgment as to what is best to
be done in the premises, ho is unfit
for the position to which ho aspires.

and formed an honest opinion as to
what is best to be done, he fears to
express his opinions lest he might
lose some votes of those who may dif-

Austin: Nathan Perita, one of the
wealthiest and mot prominent busi-
ness men of Guatemala City, Gua-
temala, died here Sunday. He was
on his way to New York when he
was taken suddenly ill on the train
Saturday night. The conductor no-
tified a physician in this city of the
illness of the passenger and when
the tram arrived here Mr. Perita
was removed and conveyed to the
Seton Infirmary.

Couldn’t Stand the Pain.
New York: Edwin Clark, aged 61
years, a broker and member of the
Cotton Exchange, shot himself in
the head, dying instantly. He had
suffered several acute attacks of in-
digestion on Friday and Saturday
and Sunday a violent attack taxed
him to the end of his endurance.
He called to his wife and told her
that he could not possibly end are
the pain any longer. While Mrs.
Clark was telephoning for a physi-
cian, he killed himself.
Dalias’New Polios Commissioner.
Monday afternoon H. O. Samuel!,
for years a prominent citizen of this
county and of late yean a resident
of this city, was appointed Police
Commissioner of the city of Dallas,
succeeding Louis Blaylock, resigned.
Mr. Samuell has been a resident of
Dallas County for more than twen-
ty-eight years. He is a prominent
fanner and business man and for
years has been a leader in the move-
ment for good roads.
Talk of Now Railway. .
Jefferson: It is reported that a
standard-guage railroad is to be
built connecting Jefferson with the
Texas and Pacific and the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas railroads. If the
proposition is carried out it is sur-
mised that the road will be extend-
ed to a connection with the Kansas
City Southern. This line would
touch the oil fields on the north side
of the lake recently purchased by
large oil companies.

Mr. Gates, who arrived in town

ley and Mr. Broocks and told them
that lie was authorized to make thia
proposition to the committee today.
Heretofore the chief objection to
the proposition to make a port of ta-
lly at Port Arthur has been that the
canal is a private waterway. Thia
objection will be overcome by the
proposition which Mr. Gates will
make today, and it is believed the

Meet In Eleventh Annual Session In
Dallas.
Dallas, May 9.—Palo Alto Day,
the sixtieth anniversary of a decisive
battle of the war with Mexico, was
observed today in the eleventh an-
nual session of the Texas Associa-
tion of Mexican War Veterans. It
is the Hauler annual reunion, but
this time has been made a jubilee re-
union.
There is a good attendance of the
vi-terans and a large number of mem
Vers of the families of veterans and
of Dtemca ot 1846. The auxiliary or-
Kanization of the women is holding
its annual meeting at the same time.
Both, bodies will celebrate the six-
tieth anniversary of the Battle of
Resaca de la Palina, and the business
of the gatherings will be concluded
with tl>e election of officers and the
selection of the next place of meet-
ing. Col. Abe Harris of Fort Worth
president of the State organization,
was in the chair Tuesday. On the
platform with hiih mt Col. Louis
F- Beeier of Baltimore, president of
the National .association. Both are
Confederate veterans as well.
Veterans and Dames are guests in
the city of the Dallas Commercial
Club. The sessions are held in tha
Fint Methodist Church, on Com-
merce and Prather streets. Official
Headquarters are in the Imperial
Hotel. The opening day was like
the smile of fortune upon the veter-
ans who won the Garden of the
Iznrd from the aggressions of Mexico,
for the sun was bright and the day
was pleasant. The veterans, many
of them men who have served
through three wars, marched from
Akard street and Main, the place of
headquarters, to the place of meet-
pig, some five blocks, and the step
was sturdy and the heart was light,
though seventy years had flown since
some of them took up arms for Texas
independence.
New Northwest Road Bogun.
Plainview: Work has been begun
on this end of the line of railroad
l«ing built by the Gulf,Santa Fe and
Northwestern Railroad from Canyon
t’ibr, to Plainview. A steam grader
and a large number of men and
teams are at work and it is now pro-
twoed to complete the road and have
trains running into Plainview by the
first of next August The line it is
thought will run to Stamford.
snd hr hopes to have Mayor Dunns
lor its nominal head. The real pow-
er in the concern is expected to be
wielded by Burke’s County Democ-
racy, the new organization of labor
politicians known as the Chicago
Progrmaive Alliance, and the local
-----------iraaof William R. Hearzt turnon.
The San Jose Seale.
The San Jose scale is by far the
most dangerous orchard insect
known. It is very small, the largest
grown ones (females) being less
than the size of a pin head. Its col- _______ r
or varies from a dark to a light the girls work the chickens, the tar-
gray, and when very thick on a twig
gives it an ashy color. The tender
bark where it first attacks usually
turns very red. The San Joao scale
is flat, and nearly round with a
black or yellowish raised spot in the
center.
Living scale may be detected eas-
ily by the use of a common hand
glass, or by pressing the infested
limb with a knife blade drawn along
«te ]■ - ' “ * * -
fluid
It multiplies very rapidly, each
female being said to give birth dur-
ing one season to four hundred and
forty-six females and one hundred
and twenty-two males, and there are
four generations each season.
It spreads to long distances main-
ly by being carried on fruit trees
from infested nurseries. When once
established in an orchard it is rap-
idly scattered by getting on birds’
feet, plow gear or anything of the
sort. Fortunately, it does not scat-
ter much from fruit stands in cities
a* the young scale dies in a few
hours unless live, tender bark is near
for it to feed on. It attacks many
peach, apple, pear, and plum trees,
but may harbor anywhere and usual-
ly first appears on or near birds’
nests.
Infested trees found through
spring and summer should be cut
down at once and carefully burned.
During the winter those trees not too
far gone may be saved by being thor-
oughly sprayed two or three times
with lime and sulphur.
This treatment has
patently successful in
months in an orchard in Cherckee
County and another in Harrison
County, though in some parts of
Southern Texas the scale has, we
fear, already gotten beyond private
control.
When once established in an or-
chard it is next to impossible to get
entirely rid of it The scale has
teen brought into Texas from Ala-
bama, Georgia and Tennessee. It
has appeared, however, in several
places in Louisiana, Missouri and
Florida.
It is unsafe for us to take any
risks on any imported nursery stock,
for even fumigation may not kill un-
hatched scale. The only way we can
keep cur orchards free from San
Jose scale is for us and our neigh-
bors to buy trees from dean Texas
nurseries only.-—A. W. Orr, State
Inspector Texas Murssriea,

Golden Park the usual Sunday aft-

tended by thousands. That the peo-

night when a crowd assembled to
witness a vaudeville show in a hall
on Fil’more street. The authorities
however, at the last moment infused
to permit the performance.

Ths children had been in the habit
of playing with a shotgun. Recent-

and pulled the trigger the gun dis-
charged, tearing the top ot tha girl’s
head off.
