DALLAS, Tex., Aug. 9.—Hon. O. 13.
Colquitt, candidate for the Democratic
nomination lor Governor, arrived in Dal-
las this morning from Austin. He met
many of his supporters during the. day.
Mr. Colquitt says he is in the running,
most emphatically so, and that he will
Stay to the last ditch, if ther is any last
ditch for him. He says that he is in
second place in the convention vote. "Not
only that," said Mr. Colquitt, "but the
votes cast in tho primaries have not yet
all been counted." This was an intima-
tion that he may be second in the primary
vote, too.
He has regained most of his voice since
the strenuous swing around the circle be-
fore the primaries, and is in excellent
physical condition for the convention next
week.
It. M. Johnston, editor in chief of the
Houston Pom, a:i 1 who is also the Texas
member of the .National Democratic Coin-

morning. He is a Colquitt man, and was

road Commissioner in the recent cam-
paign. Air. Holt is being talked of seri-
ously for permanent chairman of the
State convention.
Edgar Watkins, a former law partner
of ex-Governor Hogg, is in the city. Mr.
Watkins is a Campbell man. He is
suave and smiling.
The Campbell headquarters at the St.
George Hotel attract many supporters of
the Palestine man.
Judge Brooks' headquarters, now in the
North Texas building but soon to be
transferred to the Oriental Hotel, is the
gathering point for the Brooks men.
Mtirrell Huckner's office, in the Seol-
lard buildirg. and the headquarters in
the Gaston building have ;i homelike in-
vitation for the Colquitt men.
Among the arrivals in Dallas today was
Sneriff John W. Tobin of San Antonio,
who was nominated for the fourth time
as Sheriff of Bexar County. Mr. Tobin
is for Campbell.
Hon. J. Sherrell, a wheelhorse for
Campbell in Hunt County, is in the city.

COL. OTTO WAHRMUND.
I'J' is annoui'e-'.l ;.,s the intention of the San Antonio International Fair Associa-
tion that the eoming San Antonio Fair will be ahead of any previous fair
seen in this < ity. This will be accomplishing a great deal. The Fair Associa-
tion has every confidence in being able to do this. Col. Otto Wahrmund is president
of the Association He has just returned from the City of Mexico, accompanied
by Secretary Vance and other gentlemen interested in the success of the Fair.
In the City an audier.ee was had with President Diaz, at which it was arranged
for the Republic of Mexico to send to the International Fair a larger and more
comprehensive exhibit than last year. The Mexican exhibit here last year was one
of the features «>t" the Fair. Much of this exceedingly pleasing prospect is due
directly to the efforts of Colonel Wahrmund as president of the Fair Association.
You need a few weeks
quiet time to put you
right for a busy fall.

Endorse Roosevelt and Lyon and
Recommend State Ticket.
Special Telegram to The Express.
LAMPASAS, Tex., Aug. 0.—-At the re-
cent meeting of the Republican county
convention, the following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
"We, the Republicans of Lampasas
County, do heartily indorse the adminis-
tration of Theodore Roosevelt as patriotic
and statesmanlike, and call attention to
the difference in the condition of the
country to what it was a few years ago
under the Democratic rule. Wo feel con-
fident that Republican rule would be
beneficial to the people of this State, as
the Republican Congress and laws passed
bv them have been to the people of our
State and to every State in the Union.
"We pledge ourselves and resolve to do
all in our power to help elect a Repub-
lican Governor of Texas this year. \W
favor the nomination of not only ;i full
Republican State ticket, but Republican
candidates for the Legislature and Con-
gress. and especially from this Congres-
sional district. As patriotic Republicans,
desiring to uphold the party in this State,
we indorse the ad/ninistration of Cecil
A. Lyon as State Chairman, and com-
mend him for his work, for his policy
and his organization of the party on a
high plane of respectability. We recom-
mend our delegate In the State convention
to vote for his re-election as State Chair-
vmi n.
Owing to peculiar conditions in this
county we do not deem it wise to nom-
inate a county ticket this year. We ad-
vise all Republicans to study local, con-
ditions and vote for such men as they
deem best fitted for the position they
Seek.

GAS FIGHT IS WON.
Mayor of Kansas City Agrees to Sign
Ordinance Passed Recently
by Council.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 9.—Kansas
City won its long fight for cheap gas
when Mayor Beardsley today promised
to sign the so called Fleming-Wilson
natural gas ordinance, granting a fran-
chise to a syndicate of Chicago capital-
ists, passed by the City Council last
night.
The franchise is to run for thirty years,
and it provides that as long as the sup-
ply of natural gas is reasonably acces-
sible, it will be furnished at 25 cents per
1000 cubic feet for domestic consumption,
and at 10 cents for manufacturing pur-
poses.
If the natural gas supply fails, then
artificial gas will be furnished at 75
cents per 1000 cubic feet.
The city may purchase the works any
time, provided the grantees receive the
profits for ten years.
The Kansas City, Mo., Gas Company
now holds the franchise to furnish gas
at $1.10 per 1000 feet. The new ordinanco
will be signed as soon as it reaches the
Mayor, which will probably be tomorrow.

Appeal From Child.
Special Telegram to The Express.
HOUSTON, Tex., Aug. 9.—In the habeas
corpus sued out by Mrs. Ora Kerr against
her former husband, George H. McDon-
ald of Orange, Tex., to recover the cus-
tody of her two minmr daughters. Judge
Kittrell lias rescinded his order made on
Wednesday afternoon, awarding the tem-
porary control of the children to their
father pending the final trial of the case.
This action on the part of Judge Kit-
trell was taken this morning after little
Kiltie McDonald appeared before him and
in her childish manner, with tears trick-
ling down the side of her face, begged
him not to send her back to her father.
The manner of the child was so touch-
ing that Judge Kittrell immediately re-
versed his former order and allowed the
children to remain with their mother
pending a hearing of the matter on its
merits.

MEN'S MISTAKES
Many a bright and promising career has been blighted
by injurious habits of folly before the age of knowledge and
understanding, and many have been cut short by the un-
fortunate contracting of some poisonous special disease
which, through neglect or improper treatment, has com-
pletely undermined the physical strength and mental facul-
ties. No greater mistake can be made than to consider
lightly the first evidence of the introduction of any private
disease, or to neglect the first symptoms of weakened mind
and approach of nervous debility caused by Improper or un-
natural habits.
Such indifference and neglect of the first symptoms are
responsible for thousands of human wrecks, failures in
life and business, domestic discord and unhappy married
life, divorce, insanity, suicide, etc. Men! Why take such
desperate chances? The manifestations of the first symp-
Hr Fipirfin? ^flppialkt toms of any disease or weakness should be a warning for
vl, riGiumSf oucoiQiioi you ^ajie prompt steps to safeguard your future life and
happiness. You should carefully avoid all experimental, dangerous or half way
treatment, for upon the success of the first treatment depends whether you wiU be
promptly restored to health again, with all taint of the poisonous disease removed
from your system, or whether it will be allowed to become chronic and subject
you to future recurrences of the disease, with various resulting complications, etc?^
