States Senator La Follette carried
Wisconsin in Tuesday's primary elec-
tion by an overwhelming majority
over Cook. The senior senator's plu-
rality will easily reach beyond 8000.
Estimates are given of his nomination
over his opponent by a vote of 5 to 1.
There Is n doubt tlfut La Follette
will have control of the candidates'
platform convention at Madison and
Austin Texas Sept. 8. The status
of the penitentiary reform bill Is now
really the same as it was two weeks
ago as far as the legislature la con
cerned. The tangle which the senate
aud house became involved In was
cleared somewhat by both branches
agreeing to refer the whole peniten-
tiary legislation to the original peni-
tentiary bill committee consisting of
seven members of the house and
seven senators. To thlj committee
was added the speaker of the house
and the president of the senate. The
antipathy existing between the two
branches Is responsible for this state
of affairs and the house decided at
last to stand pat and the senate would
not rewind and the only way out of
the mess was the course pursued that
of throwing the whole matter back on
the original Joint committee. This
Joint committee met Immediately
after both branches had retired for
dinner. '
As the result of a meeting of the
Joint penitentiary committees of the
house and senate the house receded
from Its position and then the senate
penitentiary bill as substituted by the
house and amended by the senate will
be taken back to the house and the !
house refuse to concur in the senate
amendments.
At the outset of the committee
meeting Lieutenant Governor David

Despite- the high prices managers
of the packers' branch houses assert-
ed that they could not get all the pork
loins they needed to meet the require-
ments of the consumers.
At 18 cents a pound fresh pork loins
are 2 cents higher than they were on
March 28. when live hogs sold on the
Chicago market at $11.20 which was
$1.10 a hundred pounds higher than
yesterday.
This disparity In prices was ex-
plained by a wholesale butcher who
said that the scarcity of light hogs
rather than their Intrinsic value was
responsible for the recent big Jumps
made by prices of loins.
DEVELOPMENT OF
MANGANIC WELLS.
COURT HOUSE NOTES.
The reoprter of The Eagle In con-
versation with Mr. C. O. Parsons to-
day learnpd that it is hfe purpose to
organize a stock company for the im-'
proveinent of his manganic wells. Mr.
Parsons says that he has the strong-
est testimonials as to the qualities of
the water and says he has plenty of
It. His plan is the establishment of a
regular resort like other places where
there Is mineral water. He thinks
this can easily be done by the organi-
zation of a stock company and the
extension of the lnterurbaa line to the
wells. The distance Is only about two
miles and there Is no reason why such
an enterprise should not be success-
ful. All that Is needed is to promote It
with energy and good Judgment.
Every intelligent person .must real
ize w hat the success of this enter-
prise would mean to Bryan. It would
bringbring thousands of visitors every
year who would leave much money
and carry away nothine but rood-
health.
The grand Jury reported late yes-
terday afternoon and returned eleven
bills ten of which were felonies and
one misdemeanor.
Sheriff Conlee yesterday arrested
two white men George Davis and
George Hair on a felony charge.
Tluey were given an examining trial
before Justice of the Peace L. D. Mc-
Gee aid each gave bond in the 3um
of $500. They are being held await-
ing the action of the grand jury.
Detective Smith of the Houston po-
lice deartment and L. W. Spencer
wholesale buggy and wagon dealer
also of Houston are In the city to-
day attending district court. Detective
Smith assisted Sheriff Conlee in the
recovery of the buggy and horse of
Dr. A. Benbow. and Mr. Spencer is
the dealer w ho traded buggies with
Cash the Italian who Is charged with
the theft. The two gentlemen are in
the city for Cash's trial.
