SITE IS SEI
The Lone Star State Secures
Desirable Location
fOR EXHIBIT AT WORLD'S fklU
Gov. Saycrs, in the Course of His Speech,
Made the Promise that State Would
Be Creditably Represented.
St Louis, Mo., Oct. 1.—During the
alloting of sites here Tuesday on which
to locate state buildings for the Louis-
iana Purchase exposition no speech
was listened to with more profound
attention nor received with greater
evidences of appreciation than that of
Gov. Sayers of Texas. Everybody up
here seems to consider it settled that
Texas will have one of the biggest
and finest exhibits at the World's fair,
and when Gov. Sayers made declara-
tions to that effect and enumerated a
partial list of the things which Texas
would show, there were expressions
of approval and exclamations, "She
can do it!"
"Texas will be here more than 100,-
000 strong," said he. "She will be here
with representative exhibits of her va-
rious resources and with her stalwart
men and beautiful women. She will
be here to challenge the other states
to contest."
In closing, the governor, referring
to the small United States flag and
the banner bearing the seal of Texas,
which evidenced the allotment of the
Texas building site, said:
"I pledge the people of Texas that
beside the 'Lone Star' flag you will
not have to hide your folds in shame.
We will be here in 1904 with every
resource of the state represented."
Col. L. J. Polk of Galveston was
chairman of the Texas delegation for
the ceremonies. Judge E. B. Perkins
of Dallas received the flag and banner
from the exposition authorities and
introduced Gov. Sayers.
The following sites were allotted
Tuesday: Government building, Mis-
souri, Louisiana, Texas, Illinois, Ohio,
New Jersey, Kentucky, Arkansas and
Wisconsin. The Texas site is splen-
didly located. It is directly back of
the government building site in the
front &er of state exhibits,
SON AND DAUGHTERS
Of the Republic of Texas Form an
Organization at Dallas.
Dallas: Tuesday morning in the
auditorium at the fair grounds nearly
100 daughters and sons of the Texas
met to organize an association. Near-
ly all were born under the Lone Statue
flag and were from every part of the
state. No persons but those born in
Texas before the annexation to the
United States are allowed to belong
to the organization. However, pro-
vision will be made that all those per-
sons whose ancestors fought for Tex-
as independence will be allowed to
participate in the pleasures of the as-
sociation and the benefits derived
from the association.
Col. T. L. Stanfield of Terrell, who
has been the most tireless worker in
organizing the association, was made
temporary chairman. His address, the
only one of the meeting, was listened
to attentively and frequently ap
plauded.
C. A. Hotchkiss of Dallas was
chosen temporary secretary.
The name of the association, as sug-
gested by C. L. Martin of Dallas, was
adopted, and is the "Association of
Natives and Pioneers of the Republic
of Texas." Every white native and
pioneer of the republic of Texas prior
to the establishment of the republic
are eligible to membership in the as-
sociation.
The following gentlemen were
chosen officers of the association:
Thomas L. Stanfield, Terrell, presi-
dent; John W. Stevens, Hillsboro,
| first vice president; Sam J. Wright,
Paris, second vice president; Ben Mc
Cullough, Austin, third vice president;
Charles L. Hotchkiss, Dallas, secre-
tary and treasurer. ,
A committee of three, to consist of
Chas. L. Martin, James B. Simpson
and Chas. A. Hotchkiss, were recom-
mended to draft a constitution and by-
laws for the association and to report
on April 21, 1903, at an adjourned
meeting of the association to be held
on the battlefield of San Jacinto.
The secretary was instructed to pub
lish the full list of natives who have
sent in their names and request each
one to send him 25c as initiation fee.
The secretary was also instructed
to correspond with certain gentlemen
to request them to speak at the meet-
ing on he San Jacinto battlefield.
STRIKE MATTER.
The President and Three Cabinet
Officers Hold a Conference.
Washington: The president Tuesday
took initiative steps to ascertain what,
if anything, could be done by Federal
authorities to settle the coal strike.
The result was a rather general ex-
pression of opinion by the advisers of
the president who were parties to con-
ference to the effect that in Federal
laws and constitution did not afford
means of Federal interference to end
the strike.
At the temporary white house a con-
ference was held with three cabinet of-
ficers, Attorney General Knox, Secre-
tary Moody and Postmaster General
Payne, Gov. Crane of Massachusetts
also being present.
Whisky Confiscated.
Paris, Tex.: Several gallons of
Whisky carried by passengers on the
northbound Frisco train were seized
at Hugo, I. T., Saturday night and
poured out on the ground.
Grave Robbery Charged.
Indianapolis. Ind.: The wholesale
robbery of graves in the cemeteries
about Indianapolis was brought to a
close by the arrest of seven negroes.
Warrants also were issued for a prom-
inent physician, the demonstrator of
anatomy in a local medical college,
where two stolen bodies were
found ten days ago; Dr. Wilson and
George Haymaker, the white janitor.
Rufus Cantrell, one of the negroes,
made a complete confession.
The Terrible Scourge-
Manila: It is announced that 5124
cases of cholera and 2740 deaths from
that disease were reported in the prov-
ince of Iloilo Monday. This is the.
highest record for any district since
the outbreak of the disease and ex-
ceeds the total of Manila and many of
the provinces. The people are fleeing
to the mountains, leaving the dead un-
buried and the dying uncared for. The
government has ordered additional
doctors and medicine to be sent.
Cause cf Zola's Death.
Paris: The autopsy on the r mains
of Emile Zola resulted in an official
declaration that he died from asphyx-
iation, caused by carbonic oxide fumes.
A crowd of people drawn there by
curiosity had remained in front of
Zola's house since morning and his
tragic death continues to be the chief
topic of conversation here. The fun-
eral has been fixed for Monday, and
interest is shown in the question
whether Dreyfus will attend.
AT STAKE
Schooner Dismantled.
Galveston: Schooner Avalon of
Gulf Fisheries tine arrived Tuesday
dismantled, having run into a squall
while 130 miles out in which every-
thing was swept overboard. Jury
masts were erected and the distance
was made back under short sail.
The first report from the Avalon
was brought in by Capt. Stevens of
the British steamship Anselma de Lar-
rinaga. who offered to two the
schooner in, but his assistance was re-
fused.
Profits of Fiesta.
Marshall, Tex.: The net results of
the late fiesta given under the aus-
pices of the City Federation of Wom-
en's Clubs at the Tabernacle were
$1000, in aid of the public library.
Ground will be purchased at once.
Serious Situation.
New York: The coal situation in
New York Tuesday was more serious
than at any time since the strike be-
gan. Instead of 150,000 tons, usually
in stock at this time of the year, there
are but 2000 tons of hard coal. In ten-
ement districts the price is 75c a bush-
el which is at the rate of $25 a ton.
Storm at Athens.
Athens, Tex.: A severe windstorm
struck this town Monday night, doing
considerable damage. Haywood Camp-
bell's residence was completely de-
stroyed, but the family escaped with-
out being hurt. Loss $1000.
The awnings on the north side of
the public square were all blown down
and the rear end of the Collins two-
story brick building was blown off.
This building was occupied by Miller
& Carroll, hardware, and George M.
Wofford Bros., general merchandise.
A Foul Crime Avenged Sunday at
Corinth, Miss.
NEGRO CONFESSED HIS MISDEED
Tom Clark Roasted to Death, the Husband
and Brother of His Assaulted and
Murdered Victim Applying Torch.
Spanish Seaman Drowned.
Galveston: Juna Papa, a Spanish
sailor, lost his life Tuesday morning
by accidental drowning. He was a
member of the crew of the British
steamship Teodora de Larrinaga, now
lying in the Roads, and was engaged
in painting the ship's side when the
accident occurred. An Italian sailor
was engaged with him in the same
work and both fell from the swinging
platform at the. same time, but the
rescued man was unable to tell how
it happened.
Corinth, Miss.' Sept. 29.—On Aug. 19
last Mrs. Carey Whitfield, wife of a
well known citizen, was found dead in
her home. Investigation showed that
the lady had been assaulted and her
head was practically severed from her
body, a razor having been used in the
bloody work. Both Whitfield and his
wife were related to several of the
most prominent familfes in the south'
and the indignation of the people knew
no bounds.
A committee of twelve citizens were
named to continue the search for the
murderer, and these men have been
very active in their work.
On Monday last it became known
that Tom Clark, a negro living near
here, had had trouble with his wife
and the latter threatened to disclose
the secret of a crime. Officers ap-
prehended the woman and she told
enough to warrant the belief thai
Clark had murdered Mrs. Whitfield.
Clark was arrested and was brought
(before the committee of twelve in
Corinth. The negro finally confessed
to the murder and also told of other
crimes that he had committed. He said
that several years ago he killed two
men on an excursion train in Missis-
sippi. He told of an outrage perpe-
trated by himself upon a negro woman
and also of the theft of $1500 from a
physician at French Camp.
At 3 o'clock Sunday the prisoner,
heavily manacled, was taken from the
jail by a posse of armed men and, fol-
lowed by a large and excited crowd
of men and boys, he was led to the
east gate of the negro cemetery, which
Is situated in the western part of the
city. Fagots of wood had been piled
high around the stake and the negro
was securely fastened to an iron rod.
The husband and brother of Clark's
victim stepped forward and applied
torches and in a moment the flames
leaped upward, enveloping the trem-
bling negro in smoke and fire. The
clothing of the doomed man was soon
ignited and as..the flames grew hotter
the skin began to parch. The negro
moaned piteously at this juncture and
the agonizing look upon his face told
of the awful <orture he was undergo-
ing. Finally tis head fell forward upon
his breast ^nd in a few minutes all
was over. The flames were fed by
the crowd until the body was burned
to a crisp. Then the gathering dis-
persed in an orderly manner and the
town soon assumed its normal condi-
tion.
More than 5000 people witnessed the
grewsome tragedy, among them being
many, women and children.
SEVENTEENTH OPENING.
The Texas State Fair Commences
With Large Attendance.
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
LESSON 15, OCT. 12; JOSHUA 3:9-17
—CROSSING THE JORDAN.
Dallas: The seventeenth annual I
Texas State fair was opened Saturday
in 'Music hall. Mayor Cabell com-
menced proceedings by welcoming
everybody and introduced Gov. Sayers.
The governor spoke of the great ad-
vantages that the state has enjoyed
through this enterprise and closed by
declaring the fair open.
Hon. John M. Allen of Mississippi,
one of the World's fair commissioners,
was next introduced, and during his
plea for Texans to visit the Louisiana
Purchase expoition to be held at St.
Louis in 1904 related several witty
anecdotes.
President Kirby of the Texas
World's fair commission followed
"Private" Allen and stated counties
would at once be organized for the
work of preparing an exhibit.
Secretary F'lory of the World's fair
commission, a Missourian, spoke of
the vast resources of the Lone Star
state and urged a grand exhibit.
A letter of regret at not being able
to attend was read by Director Fred-
erick of the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position company from President
Francis. The letter urged a grand ex-
hibit from Texas.
The members of the Texas Press as-
sociation were the guests of the Dal-
las Commercial club and passed an
enjoyable day. They were presented
with cards entitling them for ten days
to all the privileges of the club. The
editors and their ladies were enter-
tained at dinfier in the booth of the
Ladies' Free Kindergarten. The exe-
cutive committee of the Press associa-
tion held a meeting on the grounds
and selected Waxahachie as the place
and May 21 and 22 as the dates for
next year's meeting of the association.
Dropped Dead.
Waco: Robert J. Brooks, a bridge
and street contractor, fell dead in the
northbound Katy Sunday before the
train reached Milford, and was brought
back here for burial.
Mr. Brooks was on his way to Dal-
las to take charge of work there. Ho
was for several years secretary of the
Central Texas Humane society, and
became distinguished for efficiency in
that service. His death is attributed
by physicians to heart disease.
Another Operation.
Washington: Another operation was
performed Sunday on the abscess on
the left leg of President Roosevelt. In
the former operation a simple needle
was used, but this time the surgeons
with a knife made an incision into the
small cavity, exposing the bone, which
was found to be slightly affected. The
president's case has been progressing
satisfactorily, but it is believed by the
physicians that the further operation
made Sunday will hasten his com-
plete recovery.
Crushed to Death.
Ennis, Tex.: News was received
here that Fred Jackson, aged 17 years,
formerly of Ennis, was crushed to
death in the boilermakers' department
of the railroad shops at Houston, by
some heavy material falling on him.
All shopmen of Choctaw road at
Shawnee, Ok., walked out.
Murdered in His Own Yard.
Mobile, Ala.: William Godeau, a cot-
ton handler, living at Cottage Hill, ten
miles west of Mobile, was killed by
some unknown person. Godeau, be-
coming aware of a disturbance in'his
yard, went out of his house to investi-
gate, taking a shotgun with him. Di-
rectly afterward two reports of a gun
were heard and neighbors found
Godeau dead with two bullet holes in
his head. Suspicion points toward a
negro.
Importing Weish Coal.
New York: Four thousand tons of
Welsh coal, chiefly large-sized anthra-
cite, reached here. None was offered
for sale, as all had been contracted
for before the order was placed by
the local company which made the
importation. Thursday the office of the
company was beseiged by coal dealers
eager to obtain some of the coal or
to place orders for shipments to be
made hereafter. The price at which
the Welsh coal is quoted could not
be learned.
It is alleged 60 per cent of southern
cotton mills will combine.

feared he has sustained serious inter-
nal injuries.
One Participant Killed.
, Paris: A fatal duel with pistols
was fought at Viroflay. near Ver-
sailles, between two Poles named Nie-
cergiewicz and Betkiewicz. They were
both 20 years of age.
At the first fire the latter was shot
through the head. He was removed
to a hospital, where he died. Both
duelists were sons of wealthy mer-
chants in Warsaw and came to Paris
to study French. The cause of the
duel was trivial, one of the young men
having refused to shake hands with
the other after a quarrel.

Rock Island. Tex.: Rain began fall-
ing Friday afternoon at 4:30 o clock

o'clock Saturday morning was within
one foot of the San Antonio and Aran-
sas Pass bridge.

1. The General Situation. The Position
of Israel. The children of Israel were
encamped on a broad fertile plain on
the eastern or Moabite side of the Jor-
dan, about one hundred and fifty feet
above the usual level of the Jordan,
with the mountains of Moab behind them
and the flooded river before them, with
Jericho six or seven miles distant from
the river on the other side. The plain
where they were encamped was ifrom
five to seven miles wide.
II. The Marching Orders.—Vs. 9-1^. In
the first place the officers notified the
people to prepare to cross the Jordan.
They were to sanctify themselves (v,
5), set themselves apart for a special
divine work, devote themselves anew
to God's service, cleanse themselves
from all filtliiness of the flesh, and of
heart and life. 9. "Hear the words of
the Lord your God." Their taking' pos-
session of the land was according to the
divine will.
III. On the March.—Vs. 12-14. 12. "Now
therefore take you twelve men," to
bring memorial stones from the river
bed, as described later on. "Out of every
tribe a man," so that each tribe should
be represented, and each feel a common
interest in the event. No one tribe
should have an advantage over the
others.
13. "And it shall come to pass." Thia
verse is the promise of what is described
ta v. 16, as fulfilled.
Why This Season Was Chosen for
Crossing. This season of high water
was wisely chosen; for (1) the miracle
was the more stupendous and impres-
sive to the Israelites. (2) It inspired
their enemies with greater terror. They
would see in it the marvelous power of
God. (3) Those enemies, had the cross-
ing been attempted when the water was
low, would have appeared upon the op-
posite shores to annoy the Israelites.
Why, then, did they not dispute it upon
the present occasion? The answer is
simple. They trusted to the swollen riv-
er, which they knew no army could
cross. (4) "The crossing in harvest was
also providentially ordered with refer-
ence to the food of the people; they
entered the land when it yielded abund-
ance (see Josh. 5: 11, 12.)."—Rev. Dr. F.
Johnson.
17. "And the priests that bare the
ark." When they touched the water the
stream subsided, and they bore the ark
into the middle of the river bed, and
there "stood firm on dry ground," with
good footing and without flinching from
fear of the waters rushing upon them
from above. This required no little faith.
The priests were about three-fifths of
a mile up stream above the people, and
were thus seen by all; and their faith
encouraged the people to venture into
the bed of the river. "And all the Is-
raelites passed over on dry ground."
Probably at different points, over a wide
space. They were now fairly standing
upon the Promised Land, on the eve of
conquest, and after that, of rest. "The
ark stood above. The army passed be-
low. The women and children, according
to the Jewish tradition, were placed in
the center, from the fear lest they should
be swept away by the violence of the
current. The host, at different points
probably, rushed across. The priests re-
mained motionless, their feet sunk in the
deep mud of the river."—Stanley, Jewish
Church. Thus the whole people crossed
in safety, in a very few hours, and stood
for the first time in their new home.
They encamped at Gilgal. Then the river
returned to its usual course There was
no retreat now. It was victory or death.
"The crossing of the Jordan was a crisis
in the world's history. There is only
one date in history transcending this
in importance,—the date when across a
wider Jordan, the dividing line between
heaven and earth, God came in the per-
son of a little babe to make a conquest
of a world of promise."—Richard Glover.
2. A Jordan flows between us and
every best good of life,—new life, use-
fulness, education, higher spheres, en-
larged lives, the redeemed earth, heav-
en,—our Promised Land.
3. "The crossing of the Jordan was
to be the great initiative of the con-
quest. Such crossing over is unquestion-
ably the great need of the majority of
Christians; not to make some slight
change, but .to get upon new ground.
The great lesson of Jordan is the power
of Christ's resurrection to separate us
not only from Egypt, but from all wi\-
.derness wanderings, and to secure for
us an entrance into heavenly places."—
Miss Smiley.
4. New eras and epochs in life, are
often of great value. They may lift
the life to a higher level; they are doors
to a larger sphere and nobler vision.
5. God still does wondrous things for
his people, marvels that prove that, he is
with them, and which encourage them to
go on in the conquest of evil.—marvels of
converting power, of holy lives, of tri-
umph over temptation, trouble, and
death.
6. Every one needs to take a decided
stand, a positive step that cannot be
retraced, and commit himself to the side
of right and of God. A decided stand is
often more than half a victory.
7. Death is like the river Jordan, sep-
arating us from the blessedness of the
future life. See 2 Cor. 5: 1, 8; Phil. 1: 23;
Luke 23 : 43. The scene in Bunyan's Pil-
grim's Progress, where Christian reaches
the River of Death, and is welcomed by
the shining ones on the other side. Ooro-
! pare the hymns, "There is a land of
j pure delight," and "On Jordan's rugged
! banks I stand."
8. We need to keep in mind what God
I has done for us in the past. The Chris-
j tian sacraments are memorials which
! hold the great truths of the gospel be-
' fore the mind. They are irrefragable
! witnesses to the great facts of Chris-
: tianity. They are a public and un-
ceasing testimony to the world about
| God and Christ and the gospel. Every-
| where their voice is heard. They are
i «.n easy occasion and method of teach-
| lng the great truths of religion. The
i Sabbath, the Lord's Supper, Easter,
i Christmas are Christian memorials. The
! Fourth of July, Thanksgiving Day. New
i Year's, Decoration Day are patriotic me-
morials. Birthdays, marriage anniver-
; saries, commencement days, etc., are per-
I sonal memorials. Rightly kept, all these
are a means of education and of per-
petuating great truths.

I The writers of the Bible were all of
the Jewish race. This fact sheds a
flood of light on the Bible. Certain
races have a peculiar fitness for cer-
tain things—the Q-reek for art, for in-
stance, and the Anglo-Saxon for civil«
! ization. So the Jews had a genius fof?
religion. The Bible in all its variousf
parts is essentially a religious book,
God is the center of all its thought*,
It represents the supreme product o4i
that race whose genius was religios
for ages.—-R#v. P. F. Sutphen,
