An Industrial meetingg
Longview, Tex, June 16 -A meeting
of the representative business and real
estate owners met at the opera house
Monday night to organize an industrial
movement to invite capital here
to develop the resources and make this
a manufacturing center as it has everything
required nataially Among the
manufactures here is a furniture factory,
canning factory, boom factory,
pressed. brick, sash and door, wagon
and buggy factory The -sonderiul
mineral lesosrces and wood are easy
to get and fine soft coal close to the
surface, and iron is as good as any.
In fact there is no place in the state
which otge s more general inducements
for manufacturing than this place All
of these qualities will be shown up
soon and advertised to the world Already
there are some of the best manufactories
in the state heie. for instance,
the Kelly plow factory, Brownboth held on with a grit that was surprising,
uttering no sound of complaint
or pain This was the position they
were in when we reached them Mr.
Schaefer, quick of action, soon dismounted,
and. with a small baseball
bat with which he had provided himself.
gave the wolf a terrible blow
across the back and side The wolf,
incensed at the latter attack, loosed its
hold on the dogs and turned its "tteintion
to his new enemy Whereupon
Shirock fastened his teeth in the throat
of the wolf, and the death struggle began
In vain the wolf tried to shake off
the hounds, they held too firmly It
turned and twisted, but they held on.
Shirock with his throat-hold was fast
choking out the wolf's life, and the end
came soonTHEY HOLD AN INTERESTING
SESSION.
AL Number of Papers Were Read on Different
Diseases, Which Caused Quite a
Spirited Discussion-A Large Nuumber In
Attendance.
Sherman, Tex., June 17.-The North
Texas Medical association convened at
9 a m. yesterday, and after hearing a
report of the committee having in
charge applications for membership resumed
discussion of the section on
practice.
A paper on "Typhoid Fever" was
read by Dr. J. R. D. Long of Rhymer.
Dr. John 0. McReynolds of Dallas
read a paper on "Treatment of Glaucoma."
Dr. McReynolds also delivered a very
interesting address on the X-iay and
its uses.
Quite a spirited discussion followed
the reading of the above papers.
Dr. John 0. Scott read a paper,
"Where Will the Rolling Years Find
US9?"
The association then took a recess
until 2 3 p when the section on obstetrics
and gynaecology was taken up.
A paper on "The Duty and Respons:bility
of Physicians" was read by Dr
J M Fort of Paris.
Dr J M. Thompson of Trenton read
a paper on "Puerperal Septicemia "
Dr. D. M Ray of Whitewrght read a
paper on "Management of the First
Stages of Labor "
The association only held a short
session yesterday evening, in wtich
there were discussions on sub]'ects
brought out in a further consideration
of the section of obstetrics and gynaecology.
Among the visitors yesterday were
Dr D Bolton or Eureka Springs, Ark,
who extended an invitation to the association
or any member of it to visit hi
city, and said that if they would accept
it should be without one cent of expense
and Dr. Theo. L E Arnold, now
of Dallas but late of Zurich, Switzerland.
This is the first meeting of
American physicians he has ever attended,
Killed Him-elf
Fort Worth, Tex, June 17.-John
Kane, who was some fifteen years ago
roadmaster of the Ttranscontinental division
of the Texas and Pacifeic, but of
late in the employ of the Santa Fe in
the track department. committed suicide
here last night in an upstairs
room on lower Main street
He came here some four or five days
ago from Blum He complained of
wanting sleep yesterday morning, and
was given a room by Ben McCulloch.
Failing to show up, he was visited at
3 p m by McCulloch and found to be
in a critical condition, and stated that
he had intended to take laudanum
enough to fix him, but was afraid he
had failed.
Physicians were summoned, and all
possible was done for him, but death
resulted at midnight
On a table near him was an empty
two-ounce laudanum bottel. The dead
man was about 48 years of age, and
leaves a wife and two children, but
just where they are at present is not
known here. He had in his pockets a
pocketbook containing a small sum o!
money and an accident policy issueO by
the Travelers Insurance company on
March 27 for $1000 payable to Katheiine
Kane.
The remains were inquested by Justice
Joe Adams and sent to an undertaker
pending advices from his family
Residences ]urned
Dallas, Tex, June 17--A leaky gasohne
stove cost two gentlemen who
live on Hickory street about $2000 yesteiday
morning Shortly after 6o'clock
it set fire to the woodwork in the
kitchen of Mr J S Dunlap's residence,
at No 225 Hickory street. When the
department got the fire under control
an hour later the Dunlap house and
the home of Mr C S Clopton, wholives next door at 327, had been destroyed,
together with a portion of
their contents
A great deal of pine lumber had beenThe sporting fraternity are arranging

The people of the United States read
and support as many newspapers as
England, France and Germany combined.
As the Fourth of July this year
comes on Sunday, the fireworks will be
in order on the third; they won't
keep until the fifth.
Henceforth Toronto -will resemble
other large cities in at least one respect-it
will have street cars on Sunday.
By a narrow margin o a few
hundred votes out of 33,000 it has so
decided. Of course the good people
who voted against the cars can continue
to walk on Sunday if they wish.
Verily "Toronto do move."
The fact that a resident of Washington
has died from grief because of the
death of his mother-in-law should silence
those reckless newspapers that
have so long misrepresented this amiable
member of the family. The wiscom
of the mother-in-law, her kind
heart and her unselfish solicitude
should be more frequently acknowledged.
The celebration of the queen's dia1.1ond
jubilee will bring many veterans
to the front, but there can scarcely
be one more interesting than Lord
Leicester. His statement that he acted
as page to the Duke of Sussex at
her majesty's coronation can be supplemented
by the fact that he is probably
the only man who, having himself
lived through the longest reign in
British history, can claim that his
father lived through the next longest,
that of George III.
Commander Booth-Tucker of the
Salvation Army was summoned before
a New York magistrate on a charge of
maintaining a public nuisance by keeping
a prayer meeting open all night,
thereby disturbing the slumbers of the
unrighteous in the neighborhood who
preferred sleep to a continuous perfoi
manes prayer meeting. BoothTucker
evidently does not believe in
secret prayer so highly recommended
by the highest authority as the best,
for -hich reward openly is the promise.
How many of the younger students
of public affairs know that the greatest
power of the president of this republic
is in the so-called pocket veto? W'hen
he vetoes an act of congress and re,turns
it to the house, in which it
originated, it still can be made a law
by a two-thirds vote of the senate and
of the house of representatives But
when he refrains from approving or
disapproving an enactment, the measure
dies at the expiration of the legal
limit of time for action after tie adjournment
of congress That is a pocket
veto, and from it there is no appeal
It is an interesting fact that the
chief magistrate derives his greatest
power from a provision that is seemingy
incidental.
It seems that under the present arrangement
Delaware elects its governor
on the day of the presidential election
and he serves four years A strong
movement is on foot in the state to
change the date of the election so that
IL shall occur between the nauonal
contests, as used to be the case before
the death of Governor Marvil caused
a special election, which was for a full
telm The movement is well supported,
but for all that it should be deleated.
It is far better that all elections
be held at the same time, both on
the score of economy and for other
reasons. There is an incentive to corruption
when state elections are so
held as to become straws to show
which way the political wind is
blowing, which does not exist under
ordinary circumstances
One of the most unpleasant incidents
of American college life was the sending
of a Yale university flag and a letter
to a professional thug about to ongage
in a prize-fight. The letter asked
the prize-fighter to hang the flag in
his corner of the ring, and assured him
that if he won the fight it would "dehlght
the hearts of all tibu Yale men"
It was signed by a few members of the
Juinor class. This act was promptly
repudiated by the almost unanimous
sentiment of the university The surFrYsing
feature of the incident is, that
students who had spent more than two
years in the university should have so
meagre an idea of the proprieties of
college hIfe as to take such a liberty
with the Yale colors, and presume to
hne up "all true Yale men" on the side
of one thug as against another tLug
IThere can hardly be a doubt that every
young man who signed his name to
that letter is already ashamed of ths
act.f
