ROLLING MILL OSGANIZATIOB.
> .Tuesday, at the otiice o't Munson &
Bro., the Denison Rolling Mill Com-
pany perfected organization by the elec-
tion of executive officers. Mr. J. M.
Duncan transferred all his right, title and
interest in the plant to the new company,
hich is composed of home people ex-
clusively, with the exception of Mr.
Durantto, of Chattanooga, Tenn., who is
a member ot the board of directory.
The officers chosen Tuesday are: J. T.
Munson, president; J. C. Feild, vice-
president; |. H. Fairbanks, secretary and
treasurer. Directors; J. M. Ford, J. T.
Munson, f. il. Fairbanks, J. M. Duncan,
E. P. Durango and J. C. Feiid. At the
meeting arrangements were made for
capital with which to operate the plant
after its completion. A representative ot
the Gazettckr called at the office ot
Munson & Bio. Thursday evening and
the above information is from Mr. T. J
Munson, who , spoke in very hopeful
terms of the plant and its tuture. The
mill machinery, which has been standing
in the Central yard here for two or more
weeks, has been moved down to the site
ahd the task ot putting it in shape has
begun. At the meeting Tuesday Mr. J
M. Duncan was chosen as superintendent
of the mill and will have immediate
charge ot its operation. The Denison
home people who subscribed to the
bonus may now pay up their subscrip
tions with the positive assurance that the
affairs of the company are as solid as the
traditional "rock ot ages."

Clinton J. Edgerly, once husband to
Rose Coghlan, was married last week to
Lisbeth Belle Barker, a non-professional,
of Huntington, Long Island. "Clint"
was divorced from Rose |n lSt/o and both
are at present about the bitterest enemies
under the sun. Miss Coghlan and her
manager, John L. Sullivan, said at the
time that Miss Coghlan had to foot all
the bills since she manied, even includ-
ing the marriage ring, and Edgerly told
some harrowing details about his wite's
temper, addingf that she was less temper-
ate than strict conventionality required.
Miss Coghlan, it is said, will soon marry
again.—Dunlop's.

In the five weeks the business ot Young
Emmet's "Fritz in Ireland" has averaged
$61 a performance over that ot his
faitier's season in the same territory.
His business has been enormous. Even
in Sioux City, where he appeared last
week, he played to more money in two
performances than "The City Directory"
did in three—and the thermometer at 95
in the shade at that.—Stage News.

on Monday, to a jammed house.

"A Dark Setret" well deserved the
large house that greeted it at the McDou-
gall Tuesday night. A more attractive
and entertaining melodrama was prob-
ably never pioduced on a Denison stage.
The company Cjuries a baggage car filled
to the root with stage fixtures and
scenery, but owing to the limited space
at the McDougall the Denison audience
were denied the pleasure ot seeing only
such as was absolutely necessary tor the
rendition of the play. The plot is, in-
deed, a dark secret, in tact it can scarcely
be ^credited with a plot at all. That
which is wanting in this respect, how-
ever, is amply repaid in everything else.
A lake of real water, and on which are
boats of various descriptions, is some-
thing novel and new in country theatres.
Manager Jefferson has lavished a barrel
of money on the elaborate equipment,
but the investment is certainly a good
one. The company is composed tUrough
out ot clever artists, and their woik
here was all that could be desired.

The Fort Worth Gazette has the follow-
ing to say with reference to Katie Put-
nam: Miss Putnam is not only a clever
dancer and singer and an exquisite per-
tprmer on the banjo, but she^also possess
es accomplishments ot a high dramatic
order, which have won both tame and
fortune tor the little lady. In every
country where the English language is
spoken, the name ot Katie Putnatn is
synonymous ot all that is exquisite and
refined in histrionic art, and all that is
puie and generous in noble womanhood
Few women can look back over years of
hard labor and see pictured on the can
vass ot memory so many smiling and
giateful faces, who have received not
only the hand of sympathy, but the more
substantial help which changes the col
ot the very heavens, and leaves hope sup-
ported by a new courage, where despair
had sat supreme only an hour betore
Of Katie Putnam it can be truly said
thai the wcrld is better than it would
have been had she not lived.

Patent medicines ditter—One has rea-
sonableness, anothei has not. One has
reputation—another has not. On« has
j confidence, born of sirccess—another has
j only "hopes." j
Don't take it for granted that all patent
' medicines are alike. They are not. Let
the vears of uninterrupted success and
the tens of thousands ot cured and happy
men and women, place Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery and Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription on the side
ot the comparison to which thev belong,.
And there isn't a state or territory, no—
nor hardly a country in the world,
whethef its people realize it or not, but
have men and women in them that're
happier because ot their discovery and
their effects. j
Think of this in health. Think of it in
sickness. And then think whether yoii
can afford to make the trial if the ipakers
can afford to take the risk to give your
inonev back, as they do, if they do not
benefit or cure you.

For the first time in eleven vears the
Missouri Pacific has failed to pay a quar-

A Thursday's special from Ardmore
says; "Judge. Moseley, of Denison,
Tex., representing large creditors,, has
filed a motion with tne X'nited States
court at McAlester for the. appointment
of another receiver tor the Choctaw Coal
& Railway Company. The _ practical
management of the company, so far as
the receivers are concerned, has of late
devolved upon Mr. Gowen, so it is claim-
ed by the parties who ask for a new re
ceiver, and Mr. Gowen is a PhilaJel-
phian, who represents the bondholders
and who only spends about three \Veeks
h sixteen at the offices of the company
n South McAlester. It i theiefore a«-
ierted that the effect or this state of
'things is that the road is in the hands of
the bondholders rather than those of an
officer of the court. Judge Moseley wil
"argue his motion before Judge Shackel-
ford Wednesday, and it is generally be
lieved that the judge will appoint. Tin
iftw receiver will be a home man, who
will use every honorable endeavor to
keep down the expenses ot the roa
hustle for business and pay the creditors
ot the company, who are getting im-
pajtient."
An engine was derailed in the Whites-

INTERESTING
and scenes will combine to make the
Forepaugh Shows of this season some-
thing to be remembered tor a lifetime.
there Is a halo of glory
about the very name ot Adam Forepayuh
that brings to mind the wo ridels ot the
past in circus and menagerie. : '
the SELBNDORS OF the SHOW
are traditional, and if this year's was only
to be a repetition ot those that have gone
before it would be well worth 4 anticipat-
ng. But going bevond it, as it does, it
will be a matter 01 regret with everybody
who tails to make a visit to it a part ot
his existence. ,
Apparently nothing in the animal king-
dom is without a representative
N THE MENAGERIE.
In the performance nothing achievable in
startling and admirable physical teats but
will have demonstration.
An idea of the magnitude ot the great
show maybe got trom the tact that to
put [it betore the people requires 1,-00
emplbves, joo performers, 400 horses, *00
rare animals, and for its transportation it
requires.
Fc,il:K TRAINS OF FIFTY sTECIAL C'AKS,
involving a capital of $3,000,000 and a
daily expenditure ot $5,500.
Forepaugh'g Shows compose a pecu-
liarly natural institution. Everybody
takes a natural priJe in it. Its complete-
ness and grandeur reflect credit on its
proprietor, Mr. James E. Cooper, and its
coming here is alwavs a pleas-urable event.
The inauguration of its season is the en-
dorsement which the people give it, and
it never fails on its annual tour eJ the
country without receiving the heartiest
practical demonstration ot its worth and
popularity by the leading journals every-
where.

TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS.
It is a hard matter to issue from the
press any kind ot printed matter entirely
tree from typographical errors.' A story
is told ot two London publishers who
disputed about the possibility of publish
ing a pamphlet or book perfectly tree
from mistakes. Each publisher furnish
ed a skilled compositor and a thorough
proot-reader, and after the type were
ready to go to press «Jach ot, the publish
ers gave the proof a critical reading
The pamphlet was to be perfect in ever
sense of the word, and thousands j*ere
printed tor gratuitous distribution.^ The
mofhing after the sheet's made theii ap-.
pearance the publisher \jho took the
negative side of the/question called'on
the other, and with i smile, pointed to a
plain error in the tjist linjc on the first
page, a letter o wasj turned'upside down.
Typographical errors in newspapers are
more common thanjin books, simply from
the tact that the wo|rk has to be done in a
hurry. In the Denpson Evening Journal,
of Thursday, is one of, those peculiarly
ludicrous errors which so often show the
value of a single letter. The great- wj^on
bridge across Red River is fashioned into
a bride which, it is expected, will soon be
ready for use.
The Journal savs: "It is expected that
the bride will be ready tor. use in a week
or two, but its completion may be con-
siderably delayed."
DENI80H OOTTON MILL COMPANY
Messrs. A. H. Collin and B.^J. Derby,
ot Denison, were in Boston in attend-
ance on the meeting of:*£he shareholde
ot the Denison Cotton Milling Company,
and froMi the meagie telegraph reports
received, by Messrs. F. R. Guit&au and
W. C. Tignor it appears that the finan
cial clouds which have been hovering
about the institution for six or eignt
months are about to break away. The
company needs $100,000 to pav oft its
obligations and to put it in good operat
ing condition. The New England share
holders agree to furnish $,i;o,ooo on the
65 per cent basis as suggested bv the
directors at a meeiing held in Denison a
short time since, provided the Denison
shareholder's jjut up the remaining $10,-
000. The subscription has very nearly
reached that amount already, and it is
whispered around in knowing circles that
the big mill will be turning out manu-
factured goods within tot*-months..

The "straight home to glory" rac-

speaking of the Dick Duncan hang-
ing he says:
Tiie night even tiefore he was to
hang he passed the time joking with
his ~guards anil cursing'those, he did
not like. And yet. when this red-
handed murderer—this human hyena
—this worse than fiend, stepped on
tne scaffold to pay the penaitv of
taking human life, he assured tho-.e
present that "God had washed his
soul as; white- as snow and he was
going straight to heaven." So much

to the progress of the times that
hanging is made a short cut to glory i
—still we cannot help being a little
skeptical and think that heaven must
contain rather a motley crew if ail

Thursday evening the mayor and
four council men, Messrs. Yocom.
Tobin, Brunett ar.d Davis, met at
the citv hall and, waiting until nine
o'clock, and a quorum not being
present, adjourned until Friday
evening.
Tust before calling the meeting to
order Councilman Crobles made his
appearance in the hall, but finding
that his three conterres, Messrs.
Dollarhide. Calhoun and Cutler,
were absent, he quietly withdrew
through a side door, and making his
exit through the fire room did not
again appear.
The present Council is divided in-
to two factions, Messrs. Yocom,
Tobm, Davis and Brunett ate known
as the small four, or conservatives,
while Crooks, jCalboun, Dollarhide
and Cutler compose the big four, or
the progressives, so to speak,
j Thursday night Councilman Cut-
ler was at home sick in bed, and-,
like a political wrangle, the other
three remained away in order to
break a quorum.
A large amount of city business
was on hand and needed attention,
hut that seenp to be a secondary
consideration, and it looks very

for the current year, and Mayor
Tone stated that the meeting would
be adjourn from night to -night until
it was made if it required the entire
month. >
The new charter states that in the
event of a quorum not being present
the minority may adjourn from time
to time as it may deem best.
Councilman 4 Yocom suggested
that they adjourn to Thursday : of
next week.
Councilmon Brunett wanted to
know why it would not be better to
adjourn sine die.
Councilman Tobin suggested
Monday night of next week.
The mayor stated that they could
adjourn to any time they might wish
but that he would issue a call for a
special meeting each evening until
the business was attended to. Finally
it was agreed to adjourn to the fol-
lowing night.
adjot'rxed meeting.
At the meeting Friday night the mayor,
together with a full board of aldermen,°
also City. Attorney I. M. Standifer and
Secretary Kennedy, were present. Order
was called at 7:40, and the meeting got
dowrr to business by th'e reading ot the
minutes of all meetings in September.
Bills were allowed and warrants order-
ed drawn on the various funds for their
payment as follows:
Fire, $2840.05; Street and Poll, $359.-
45; School, $1093.40; Genera! Revenue,
$1719.47.
A bill of $8 for livery hire tor help em-
ployed in impounding cattle was allowed
and ordered paid.
Report ot N. S. Ernst, citv treasurer,
for September read, accepted and order-
ed filed. The report showed a balance
011 hand, all together, $8119.96
The city assessor and collector, street
commissioner and chief of pdlice furnish-
ed reports for September, which were
read, atcepted and ordered filed.
R. M. Burns was appointed special
police without pay. Burns is a night
watchman at the compress.
W. B. Munson asked permission to re-
pair three wooden buildings on Woodard
street within the fire limits. Matter was
discussed at some length; several motions
were made and then withdrawn when
motion to allow the petition was lost, the
vote standing four to four,-with the
mayor casting the deciding vote.
Petition ot J. T. Hurt, asking that an
alley in South Denison be opened to
comply with a Vesolution passed at a for-
mer council, was read. Chief of police
was ordered to see that the resolution of
the council was enforced.
Mr. Crooks stated that the most impor-
tant matter before the body was that of
issuing bonds with which to meet the
city indebtedness, and that Dr. Ford was
present and that he would like to hear
from him.
Mr. Yocom stated that the matter of
the mayor's veto should be taken up, as
the new city charter plainly states that at
the next'regular Meeting such matters
shall be attended to-. The veto of the
Sunday ordinance passed without action,
and now the city has no ordinance rela-
tive o the observance of the 6tate Sun-
day law.
Dr Ford, in response to a request, ad-
dressed the council on the bond matter
In substance ne stated that he entertained
no fear of the city floating 30 year 5 per
cent bonds.
Jn the purchase of bonds the rate was
given very little consideration, especially
so with reference to municipal securities.
He had, himself, sold government bonds
for the purpose ot investing in Denison
30-vear 5 per cent, sewer bonds and if it
was the sense of the council to issue
another series he thought it would be do-
ing his securities an injustice to make the
new rate 6. St. Joe, Mo., had, not long
since, issued and disposed of at par
large amount of 30-year 4 per cent, street
improvement bonds. Money matters were
very close, but no one could tell how soon
such a condition woulrf'end. At the con-
clusion ot Mr. FWd'-S fhfiarks he was
roundly applaude^T r
On motion of Councilman Crooks the
bond ordinance O^as Ufken up, and that
with reference to schools was disposed of
fir.->t. It had pas ed its first and second
reading and wa> ready for its final pas-
sage.
Councilman Yocom moved that the
amount be placed at $32,000 and that the
bonds date trom Jah'. 1, 1892, to bear
per cent, interest and .to run 30 years
Councilman Dollarhide 6tated that he
was inclined to the belief that a 5 per
cent" bond could not be disposed ol ad
vantageouslv, but on the final passage of
the ordinance it passed with a unanimous
vote as amended by Councilman Yocom
i'he mayor suggested that in as much
as it deemed to be the prevailing desire to
rediite the amount of street and sewer
bonify, that il probably would be a matter
ot economy to consolidate those ordin
ances and pass pnlv one instead of two
as was originally intended. The. sugges
tion was accepted and on motion it was
decided unanimously that the ordinance
should read for "street and sewer pur
poses."
These ordinances, like that ot the
school, had passed two readings and were
ready, as amended, to be put onvfinal
passage. Couiicilfnan Dollarhide moved
that the amount be placed at $50,000.
Councilman Davis moved to amend by
substituting 3 for 5, making the amount
$^0,000. Aves and nays were called and
the vote stood as follows: Ayes—DaviSf
Tobin, Brunett and Yocom. Nays-
Crooks, Calhoun, Dollarhide, Cutle; the
mavor deciding the question by voting
no. The .question then recurred to the
original motion and it was carried with
the same vote as above, tour for and tour
against, the mayor voting ves.
In voting as lie did the mayor stated
that in his opinion the city would be
compelled to extend the sewer down to
Red river and that $30,000 would only
pav off the present indebtedness.
Councilman To'oin stated that he, in
company with Counciimen Davis, Yocom
and Brunett, had walked Irom the mouth
of Pawpaw creek on the bank ot Red
river to the opening of the sewer and that
in their judgment there was now no ne-
cessity for the extension. Councilman
Crooks was ot the same opinion ana his
idea in issuing the $50,000 bonds was that
all surplus should bejsxpended in perma-
nent street improvements. Following
this, the remarks became general. Nearly
all the members expressed their opinion.
Before setting ready to vote on ordinance
by sections, some one stated that it was
11 -.50 o'clock, and by unanimous content
the meeting adjourned to Monday night
ot next week. 1

THE LETTER I.
I use the letter I in my bus-
iness because I mean to talk
about myself. I stands for
Sherburne, and Sherburne
stands up for
the Identity of
the Sherburne
-Inexpensive-
Shoe Store. I
sell as good as
any one in the
town. I don't
put on as much
style as some,
but I get my
share of the
trade. I want
to sell your
wife a pair of
Fall Walking
Boots. Those
I sell for $3.50
are beauties, and my cheap-
er grades at $3.00, $2.50
and $2.00, are fine for the
prices charged. How does
this strike your I?
In Sulphur Springs and Hopkins
county newspapers and newspaper
men can choose their politics with
as little danger of personal violence
as in choosing religion and pujgit.
Let us all a%'oid intolerance, "per-
sonal abuse and cultivate forbear-
ance, then there will be no chance
ot friction nor liability or tendency
to violence.—Hopkins County Echo.
When it is remembered that no
^jonger ago than last week the editor
of the Echo engaged in a deadly
combat with a brother editor simply
on account ot a difference of poli-
tics, it is difficult to understand the
real meaning of the above para-
graph. A kiuder-hearted, more
generous man in both thought and
action than E. M. Tate would be
hard to find, not only in Hopkins
county, but all Texas, and no man
can more fully realize the value ot
the advice given than he; it was
purchased with blood.
At Milwaukee, Wis., Barney
Baldwin, a dime museum man with
a broken neck, attempted to commit
suicide by poison. His wife, with
five children, ran away with a man
known as "Circus Jack," and the
tailure to get his children back led
to the attempt at suicide.
The Best Organisation Yet
The Dallas Farm & Ranch has
learned of a new farmers' organiza-
tion in Tennessee, with the follow-
ing as the most important plank in
its platform ot principles: "Work
ten hours a day ; never go to town
without taking something to sell,
and never buy anything without pay-
ing for it." The name is unique
and appropriate. It
Farmers Reliance."
is "The
The Farm & Ranch hasn't much
confidence in the practicability of
the Waco Cotton Picking Machine,
of which so much has been said in
the papers for a year past. Accord-
ing to the Weimar Mercury the
model recently picked a bale of cot-
ton, but only one man has been
heard trom who saw the picking
done, and he merely certifies he
watched it and endorses it. Ones
man certifies the cotton picked fey
the machine grades higher than
hand-picked cotton from the same
field, and another says no one could
tell the difference between this cot-
ton and that picked by hand. The
Mercury says (and this seems a lit-
tle strange if it is a real success)
that the company is in no hurry to
place the machine on the market,
and the F. and M. Adds "the com-
pany seems to be in a hurry not to
put it on the market"
