Life at Camp Ball.
Houston, Tex., July 5.—It must have
been tears of joy that the heavens wept
yesterday forenoon and old J. Pluvius
must have been nearly overcome with
joy, because the rainfall was one of
the heaviest for the length of time
Houston has had this year. It was a
baptizing after the good old Baptist
fashion of immersion, and everybody
joined.
It was the actual beginning of mili-
tary life at Camp Tom Ball, and if
there is any virtue in a bad beginning,
the ending will be a grand affair. The
ground was left thoroughly soaked this
noon, and the soldiers in the tents had
the mud, by moving about in the dis-
cheerful, however,
Hogg’s Address.
Rogers, Tex., July 5. —Ex-Gov. J. S.
Hogg made an address at the "Kaliko
Karnival" at the wire bridge, five miles
south of Rogers, yesterday at 11 o’clock.
The crowd is estimated at 3000, and
was lighter than would have been were
it not for the condition of the roads in
this section. The subject of the gov-
ernor’s speech was “Dress Reform.'
He made a fine argument along the
line of people dressing economically
and living within their means. •
His speech was received with great
applause throughout, and no doubt his
speech, together with the object of the
celebration, will accomplish much good.
The men were in their shirt sleeves,
as it was advertised to be a common
sense affair. Gov. Hogg was not to be
out of vogue, so before he began to
speak he took off his coat, unbuttoned
his collar, pulled down his suspenders
and proceeded to address the crowd of
anxious hearers.
The ladies were all dressed in calico.
A prize was awarded for the prettiest
calico dress, and was received by Miss
Hattie Barhart of Bartlett.
Every one present showed marked
patriotism by various modes of dress
in national colors. One of the most in-
teresting features of the day was the
drill and exhibition of military tactics
by Capt. King’s “kaliko kids.” They
ranged in age from 7 to 16, and were
headed in line by Uncle Sam, six feet
nine inches high, in his customary suit.
The second section of the second
Texas infantry has arrived at Miami,
Fla.
Ready to Go.
Denison, Tex., July 2.—A letter was
received yesterday morning from Will
Utiger, who is at Mount Pleasant,
where he went to join R. L. Jarvis
company of volunteers. Will says the
company is organized, ready to move,
and orders are expected at any time to
move to Houston, where he~dquarters
have been established for the new regi-
ments that Texas is to furnish.
Large Shipments.
Jacksonville. Tex., July 2—Jackson-
ville has shipped this season up to yes-
terday fifty-seven cars of fruit and veg-
etables. This week six and seven cars
per day are being shipped from here.
Anvil Accident.
Cisco, Tex., July 6.—While firing
anvils on the Fourth, on account of
the good news of the Spanish defeat
at Santiago, a sack of powder exploded,
severely burning four young men, Will
Dixon, E. R. Patterson, Lafayette Sell-
ers and a boy named Oscar Neel. The
boys were firing the anvils by placing
one upon the other and placing a piece
of paper between the anvils to cover
the powder and light with a hot iron
rod, and it seems they poured the pow-
der on a spark of fire. The young men
were all burned about the face, head
and hands.
Lady Shot at Abilene.
Abilene, Tex., July 4.—Mrs. August
Kerns was shot twice yesterday, one
ball entering the spinal column, caus-
ing partial paralysis, another entering
just below the shoulder blade. Au-
gust Kerns is in jail.
Mrs. Kerns had just returned from
church when the affair came up. She
belongs to that branch of the church
that believes in entire sanctification.
When the physicians went to probe
’the wound they offered to administer
chloroform, but she objected, saying
there was a higher power then chloro-
form to relieve pain. She showed un-
usual fortitude during the operation.
Costly Conflagration.
Rogers, Tex., July 6.—A $30,000 fire
broke out Monday night in J. H. Tal-
ley’s dry goods store. J. N. Brooker,
merchant and banker, was the heavi-
est loser, stock $13,000, insurance
$9000; J. H. Talley, dry goods, stock
$4000, insurance $2500; W. T. Brooker,
drugs, stock $1500, insurance $100; L.
B. Bryant, general merchandise, stock
$7000, insurance $300; Tom Allison, sa-
loon, loss $800, saved considerable, no
insurance on stock, $600 on fixtures.
Barber shop and restaurant were also
in the fire, but saved nearly all effects.
The fire swept through for brick build-
ings, but left the walls considerably
crumbled, but still standing.

Cuts and Bruises on Body.
Galveston, Tex., July 6.—An exami-
nation of the body of the sailor from
the steamship Swanley, found in the
bay, revealed cuts and bruises, show-
ing that the man was the victim of foul
play. The police and coroner are pur-
suing an investigation, and the inquest
has not been concluded. Another man
is missing from the ship. John Adam-
son was the name of the young man,
who shipped from Leath, England, and
was 24 years old.
To Enter Dallas and Sherman.
Dallas, Tex., July 6—A contract has
been signed by the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe railroad company and the St.
Louis Southwestern Railroad company
whereby the former will have entrance
for its trains into Sherman over the
tracks of the St. Louis Southwestern
and the latter will run its trains into
Dallas over the tracks of the Santa
Fe.
This arrangement will apply to both
freight and passenger trains and is
virtually the same thing as the exten-
sion of the Santa Fe to Sherman and
the Cotton Belt to Dallas, and even
better, for the joint use of the tracks
will divide the expense.
. The negotiations have been in pro-
gress for some time and recently a.
conference of the managers, traffio
managers and attorneys of the two
lines was held in Galveston.
The contract they agreed upon was
submitted to the executive boards of
the two lines and approved, the con-
tract being signed yesterday.
Each of the lines will maintain sep-
arate freight depots at Sherman and
Dallas.
The Santa Fe will enter Sherman
via Wolfe City and the Cotton Belt
will enter Dallas via Wylie.
The arrangement will take effect
just as soon as the connecting tracks
can be built at Wolfe City and Wylie.
The operation of the Santa Fe into
Sherman and the Cotton Belt into
Dallas, it is believed, will affect a large
volume of business in north Texas.

Body Found.
Galveston, Tex., July 2.—The last
seen alive of Harris Quebe, the 10-year-
old son of W. S. Quebe, an employe of
the Santa Fe, was about 9 o’clock
Thursday. He said he was going fish-
ing, and started alone. Yesterday
morning his body was found floating in
the water.
A terrible cyclone visited New
Hampshire on the 4th.
Stars and Stripes Sall Skyward.
Galveston, Tex., July 4.—An Amer-
san flag was raised to the highest point
to which one has ever been elevated in
Texas, and possibly the whole south.
The stars and stripes float from the
tal Ispire of St. Patrick’s church, 250
feet in the air Not only is it the high-
point to which the flag has ever been
raised within the history of Texas, but
it is the first time that the flag has
been raised over a church so far as
known.
It was an unusual service at the
church yesterday morning, a flag rais-
ing, and the church was crowded with
Protestants and Catholics to give si-
lent expression to their patriotism,
music of the day was selected with an
an appropriateness to the occasion and
the sermon was by Father Kirwin,
chaplain of the first regiment United
States volunteers, who spoke on the
subject of the flag.
A detachment of the soldiers from
Camp Hawley were present under com-
mand of Lieut. McClaeb. Capt. Hall
was also present, as well as several
other officers.
Shot and Killed.
Palestine, Tex. ,July 6.—Jack Ray
was shot and killed twelve miles south-
west of Palestine Monday night. Par-
ticulars are very meager, but the trou-
ble grew out of a dispute about a stake-
rope, which Ray accused another party
of tying to his cow. The party denied
it and pulled a revolver and shot Ray
through the heart. No arrest has been
made.
Soldiers’ Picnic.
Texarkana, Tex., July 6.—The Tex-
arkana light guards held a picnic at
Whitley’s park the Fourth, the move
being for the purpose of raising funds
for the company’s support. Five hun-
dred dollars was realized from the
gate receipts and other sources. This
military company proposes to remain
in real camp life until called for duty
by the government, and the public
contributions that are made will go to
their maintenance while not in active
service.
Train Holdup.
El Paso, Tex., July 2.—The Texas
and Pacific west-bound passenger train
was held up by three masked men last
night at 10 o’clock five miles west of
Stanton and 300 miles east of El Paso.
The Pacific Express company’s safe
was blown open with dynamite. No
one was hurt.
Injury to Melons and Cucumbers.
Congressman Hawley has been ad-
vised by his constituents that a disease
is doing much damage to the melon
and cucumber crop of south Texas. He
has discussed the matter with the sec-
retary of agriculture, who has sent him
the following letter:
The division of vegetables, physiol-
ogy and pathology, which has mads
some study of diseases of melon and
cucumber vines in the south, informs
me that it could probably determine
the disease, which is referred to by ex-
amining some of the plants. Will you
therefore kindly request the gentlemen
to forward some of the typical affected
plants, including roots, stems and
leaves, under the inclosed frank?
Mr. Hawley has forwarded the franks
to gentlemen in the localities where the
diseases exist.
M. T. Jones’ Will.
Houston, Tex., July 2.—The last will
of the late M. T. Jones was filed here.
After providing for payment of his
debts, it says:
“I bequeath to my wife, Louisa Jones,
to be paid out of my life insurance,
$125,000, including the amount made
payable to her by the terms of such
policy, and also all my bank stock.
“I give to my daughter, Mrs. Au-
gusta Locke, all my real estate in Ellis
county and improvements to her for
life, and at her death to be divided
among her bodily bears.
“I give to my son, Willie E. Jones
(except block 180 in La Porte and im-
provements on it), all my real estate in
Harris county, known as the Deep
Water tract, bought from Veck & Ben-
nett, and improvements thereon for
life, and at death to revert to his heirs
by his present wife, provided that she
shall have a homestead of the value
of $10,000 for life. Should my son and
daughter named above die without
heirs, the property to go to any other
heirs, each sharing alike.
“I appoint T. W. House of Houston,
J. M. Rockvell of Sherman, H. D.
Simons of Waxahachie, my nephew,
Jesse H. Jones, of Dallas, and A. J.
Scheruman my sole executors, and that
no bond be required of them. I desire
no action in the court except the pro-
bate of the will and appraisement of
the property.
“To facilitate business the executors
may appoint at each annual meeting
a chairman of their number and a sec-
retary.
Terrell Soldiers Depart.
Terrell, Tex., July 4.—A thousand
citizens were at the Texas Midland de-
pot Saturday to witness the departure
of company E, fourth Texas infantry,
for Houston. Terrell was given her
first real war experience, and it was
the saddest sight ever seen here to
witness the grief shown in the affec-
tionate farewells given the soldiers by
their relatives and friends.
Want Him Transferred.
Texarkana, Tex., July 4.—A petition
was sent from here by the influential
citizens of this place to Gov. Culberson
Saturday praying that his efforts ba
given toward securing the transfer of
Henry Hannegan from the United
States cavalry to the Texas volunteer
army. Hannegan was raised in this
city, and is a Texas boy. He is very
anxious to take service with the
armies of his native state, and the
move taken by the citizens of Texar-
kana was actuated by his inspirations.
Hannegan was recently appointed ser-
geant major of the cavalry, now sta-
tioned at Fort Niobrara, Neb.
City’s Hights involved.
Temple, Tex., July 4.—A question
involving the rights of the city to use
the public square and the market and
opera house for calaboose purposes
has gone on the dockets of the district
court.
Recently the city council of Temple,
in an executive session, directed that
the calaboose be put in the market
and opera house.
A few nights later the prisoners
were confined in the building, and
since then a steel cage has been put
in, sewerage connections made and a
tip-top jail fixed up.
' The move was vigorously opposed
by many citizens, and they secured a
restraining decree by which the city
officers are enjoined from using the
place for a calaboose. The legal fight
will be a bitter one.
and found comfort in the fact that they
were much better off than the gallant
boys around Santiago, who had fought
in storms of shot, shell and rain at the
same time.
With this patriotic view of the situa-
tion there was not a despondent face
in the camp. It has been found that
the tents furnished by the contractor
did not come up to the terms of con-
tract, and the Galveston bidder was
up here and pointed out that fact. The
matter was noted by the representative
of the government, or rather of the
military arm, and will doubtless duly
consider the matter.
The sensation of the day was created
by the invasion of the camp by Capt.
Geo. P. Borden and Adjt. Spencer
Hutchins, who went out to enter upon
the discharge of their respective duties,
Capt. Borden to muster in the men and
Adjt. Hutchins to wrestle with the du-
ties of the regimental adjutancy, the
latter having been the first member of
the regiment mustered in.
They entered the natatorium build-
ing by the “straight and narrow way”
in front and Capt. Borden selected a
cool place on the second floor for his
desk and fixtures, the latter in a trunk
in easy reach. His window overlooks
Forest park, embracing the picturesque
scenery in it. As soon as Capt. Bor-
den located in his office he began to
turn his hand to business. He gave out
notice that the companies to arrive
this week are the McKinney company.
Capt. Ray Wednesday; San Angelo
company, Capt. Burgess, Tnursday;
Comanche company, Capt. Holman, and 1
the Calvert company, Capt. Parrish,
Friday. The McKinney company has
117 men on its roster, but it can only
bring the complement, and that fact
was wired to them.

Elevasor Accident.
Dallas, Tex., July 2.—A serious acci-
dent occurred at the general office
building of the Texas and Pacific rail-
way in this city yesterday morning.
W. T. Pratt, the elevator boy, was told
to carry some papers into an office on
the fifth floor. When he returned he
found that the elevator had slowly as-
cended about half way up to the next
floor. He tried to jump in and stop
it, but as he jumped his foot slipped
and his arm struck the lever, turning
on the power and sending the carriage
with Pratt clinging to the edge of the
floor upward with a jump. He was
caught in between the carriage and the
floor above, crushing in his chest and
injuring him internally. The resist-
ance offered by his body checked the
carriage, and he was rescued by em-
ployes, who had heard his cries for
help.
After Recruits.
Fort Worth, Tex., July 2.—Mr. D. E.
Blackburn of Mineral Wells, one of the
recruiting officers for the third regi-
ment, located at Fort Clark, was her*
yesterday from Bowie, en route to Am-
arillo, where a recruiting office will be
opened. He said: “We were at Bowie
for three days, and notwithstanding
flags were flying from many housetops
and patriotism was manifested in many
other ways, we suceeded in get-
ting but one application for en-
listment, and that was a man who
had but one good leg and was there-
fore disqualified to enter the service.
We have no criticism to make, but if
we receive this kind of treatment as
we go along there can be no doubt but
that recruits will have to be drafted.
We fared better, however, at Decatur,
for at that point we received eight re-
cruits. We will go to Amarillo and try
our luck there.
this disgusting disease. Mrs. L. A.
Johnston, 103 Pilham and Ripley sts.,
Montgomery, Ala., tells her experience
with catarrh of the stomach and how
she was cured:
“I will state to you that I have
taken eight bottles of your Pe-ru-na
and two of Man-a-lin and rejoice to
say, ‘God bless Dr. Hartman and Pe-ru-
na.’ And I earnestly assure you that
it has done me more good than any
medicine I have ever taken in my life.
I prescribe it to every one I meet who
is suffering, as the best medicine in the
world, and have made many converts
who are now rejoicing in the great
good which they have derived from
the same. I can tell you that I am
almost entirely relieved of indigestion,
that great foe which has tortured me
so many years, and can now eat any-
thing I desire without it is fruits or
something acid.”
To understand the scientific action
of Pe-ru-na it is best to have Dr. Hart-
man’s special book for women, or his
book on chronic catarrh. These books
are mailed free by the Pe-ru-na Medi-
cine Company, Columbus, O. All
druggists sell Pe-ru-na.
Reduction in Bicycle Prices.
It is said that western capitalists are
contemplating il e organization of a
company, which hopes to make first-
class wheels and sell them as low as
$10. Whether this be true or not, the
fact remains that Hostetter’s Stomach
Bitters is a first-class remedy for the
stomach, liver and kidneys. For
fever and ague it is a specific.
Paid Passenger Tax.
Austin, Tex., July 6.—The Texas
Central Railway company paid the
comptroller $155.50 tax on $15,559.52
of passenger earnings for the quarter
ended March 31.
The Sherman, Shreveport and
Southern paid $91.28 tax on $9128.14 of
passenger earnings for the quarter
ending June 30.

The following letter to Mrs. Pink-
ham from Mrs. M. Rank, No. 2,354
East Susquehanna Ave., Philadelphia,
Pa., is a remarkable statement of re-
lief from utter discouragement. She
says: .
“ I never can find words with which
to thank you for what Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound has done
for me.
“ Some years ago I had womb trouble
and doctored for a long time, not see-
ing any improvement. At times I
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, I felt something
terrible creeping over me, I knew not
what, but kept getting worse. I can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. I was so depressed in spirits
that I did not wish to live, although I
had everything to live for. Had hys-
teria, was very nervous; eould not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
“ Indeed, I thought I would lose my
mind. No one knows what I endured.
“ I continued this way until the last
of February, when I saw in a paper a
testimonial of a lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta-
ble Compound. I determined to try it,
and felt better after the first dose. I
continued taking it, and to-day am a
well woman, and can say from my
heart, " Thank God for such a medi-
cine.’”
Mrs. Pinkham invites all suffering
women to write to her at Lynn, Mass.,
for advice. All such letters are seen
and answered by women only.
Aaf
Terrific Explosion.
Dallas, Tex., July 4.—Late
Saturday afternoon some one
exploded a dynamite bomb on a vacant
lot just south of the freight yards of
the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe rail-
road. The explosion was terrific, jar-
ring the earth for blocks around and
making a report which was heard over
the business section of the city. The
occurrence gave birth to various wild
rumors, which for a time caused much
excitement. The name of the person
who exploded the bomb or why he ex-
ploded it could not be ascertained. The
only food for the curious was a great
hole which the bomb had torn in the
earth.
How She Did it.
“My wife got me into an awful
scrape this morning.” “How?” “She’d
been using my razor to sharpen a lead
pencil.”—New York Journal.
