WHA t OF THE FUTURE.
Kvonts ia the world will reach
many crises within the next few
yearn if there be any dependence
to be pat in appearances. Stupen-
dous changes will take place not
by the slow processes of evolution,
bat by the upheaving power of
human thought and action. It
may be that these changes will be
evolutions, but if so the silent
work has been going on in the
past and is almost ready to cul-
minate in well defined results.
At home the future is big with
important events.
Texas by the close of the cen-
tury will l»ear very little resem-
blance to the Texas of a few years
•Co-
in wealth, populatiou and pro-
gress she will take gigantic strides
forward. Her ports will do the
trade of almost half the continent.
Her cities will no longer be vil-
lages. Her people will equal any
in wealth and intelligence. A
new generation with new hopes
new methods and new ideas will
guide her destinies.
Oar republic will make prodi-
goas changes in its policies and
plans. The monetary system will
be made new. The system of
federal taxation will tie revolu-
tionized. New men and new ideas
will govern. A different foreign
policy will prevail, and Cul»a,
Hawaii and Canada will perhaps
tie oars.
Ia the outside world stupendous
ehaages will take place. The im-
mense military and naval systems
of Earope can not mach longer In-
kept ap. Either there will bo a
peaceful arrangement changing
the whole system or there will be
th« bloodiest and most destructive
conflict ever known in the world's
history. In either event the whole
existing condition of things will
be changed.

her bitter 'grievance will soon
strike somewhere.
Russia has never taken her eyes
off India nor given up her design
upon the Turkish capital. Eng-
land the mistress of the seas, is
looking closely after her own
interests. Ireland still cherishes
the desire for home rule.
The huge Chinese empire is
ready to collapse. The enterpris-
ing, valorous Japanese are impa-
tient to extend their boundaries
and are getting ready for agressive
movement. The large and un
wieldly empire of India will soon
cut loose from London and, con-
trolled by Englishmen, set np for
itself a new power in the world.
The next decade will perhaps
witness more changes in the af-
fairs of the nation than any sim-
ilar period in tho history of the
world.
And we believe most of these
changes will be tor the better.
ahdmohe'after it.
It seems that Ardmore is pull-
ing for the prize fight. Bat Judge
Kilgore is there and his reputa-
tion as a kicker is well known.
Besides the Ardmoreite and Rev.
Johnson are opposed to it. How-
ever, the Ardmoreite would write
it up in grand style should it take
place. The Chickasaw militia
would probably attempt to re-
move the crowd as intruders, but
the crowd would not mind that.
A few hundred dollars of hush
money would not be liegrudged.
The Christian brothers might be
induced to attend as an additional
attraction.
It would all depend upon Judge
Kilgore. If he could be induced
to refer the matter to a master in
chancery or made to see that the
laws of Arkansas did not cover
the case the fight might be
permitted to come off. At any
rate the matter is being thougut
of seriously.

Working for It.
For several days past it has
been known by many in Ardmore
that the great boxing contest be-
twe n Coibett and Fitzsi'nmons
was very unlikely to come off in
Dallas. The proceedings in Dal-
las last Monday night when all the
participants in a glo^e contest
were arrested, principals, backers
and all, went conclusively to show
that Governor Culberson's order
would tie respected in the greater
event which is expected to come
off there next month. It appears
that as a result of these facts a
quiet movement has been placed
on foot ia Ardmore looking to the
formation of an athletic club here
with the ultimate end in view of
securing for this town this world
renowned event. Our reporter
visited the office of our United
States district attorney and learn-
e I from Mr. Cad Bennett that
there was no law to interdict such
an exhibition iu the territory. Mr.
Bennett also stated that on
his recent visit to Dal as he
learned that the people there, or
at least those who had this matter
in hand had practically given up
the idea and that the immense pile
of lumber still lay in the yards.
Mr. Bennett further stated that
the G., C. & S. F. railroad had
agreed to have the lumber re-
moved to Ardmore free of charge,
provided arrangements were made
to have the contest come off here.
That a well concerted plan and a
determined effort is being made to
bring this end about is certain,
and that the result wonld be the
bringing into the pockets of our
people a vast number of shekels
of gold and silver is equally cer
tain. Also we are compelled to
recognize the fact that the name of
Ardmore would be known from
one end of the country to the
other as a further result. Still we
only lay this matter before our
readers as a matter of news, our
opinion on the affair and its moral
effect having been formerly ex-
pressed. That the success of such
a movement would result in our
great financial gain we do know,
and that the advertisement that
Ardmore wonld receive from it
would be far reaching in its effects.

ible ink ou the one hundredth page of
every volume on his shelves, "Stolen

In due time death and the mutations
of fortune brought this library to the
hammer and the second hand shops, but,
owing to the accusatory phrase on the
one hundredth page of each book, they
were sold with difficulty and brought
almost no price whatever.—Louisville

HER PEOPLE.
Texas is a cosmopolitan state,
but native Americans predomin-
ate. The negro populatioip of the
state is small compared ^o other
southern states and the "race
problem'" cuts no figure here. The
state is settled largely with immi-
grants from different parts of the
Union, those from the southern
and western states predominating.
LAWS.
The laws of Texas are made foi
her own people and are thle most
liberal, equitable and juat any-
where.
homestead laws,
Are the most liberal, and her col-
lection laws the most lenietit to b<
found in any state in the Jpnion.
These laws not only providt-
against misfortune, but give the
family a guarantee against waste
ful extravagance and bad manage-
ment on the part of the husband. '
The following extracts from the
state constitution will give an idea
of the protection which the state
throws around a family:
"Art. 17, Sec. 49. The legisla-
ture shall have power, and it shall
be its duty, to protect by law from
forced sale a certain portion of the
personal property of all heacjs of
families, and also of unmarried
adults, male and female.
"Sec. 50.—The homestead of a
family shall be and is hereby pro-
tected from forced sale for pay-
ment of all debts except for the
purchase of money, the taxes due
thereon, or for work and material
used in constructing improvej
ruents thereon, and in this last
case only when the work and ma*
terial are contracted for in writ-
ting, with the consent of the wife
given in the same manner as is
required in making a sale and
conveyance of the homestead; nor
shall the owner, if a married man,
sell the homestead without the
consent of the wife given in such
manner as may be prescribed by
law.
"No mortgage trust, deed or
other lien on the homestead shall
ever be valid, except for the pur-
chase money thereof, improve-
ments made thereon as hereinbe-
fore provided, whether such mort-
gage or trust deed or other lien
shall have been created by the hus-
band alone or together with his
wife; and all pretended sales of
the homestead involving any con-
dition of defeasance shall be void.
"Sec. 51. The homestead not in a
town or city, shall consist of not
more than 200 acres of land, which
may be in one or more parcels,
with the improvements thereon;
the homestead in a city, town or
village shall consist of a lot or
lots not to exceed in value $5000
at the time of their designation as
a homestead without reference to
the value of any improvements
thereon. * * * *"
the wages
of the laboring man, whether mar-
ried or not, are as sacred as the
household.
Section 28 of Art. 16 of the con-
stitution reads: "No current
wages for personal service shall
ever be subject to garnishment."
The statutes exempt the follow-
ing personal property from forced
sale:
"All household and kitchen fur-
niture. All implements of hus
bandry. All tools, apparatus and
books belonging to any trade or
profession. The family library
and all family portraits and pic-
tures. Five milk cows and their
calves. Two yoke of work oxen,
with necessary yokes and chains.
Two horses and one wagon. One
carriage or buggy. One gun.
Twenty head of sheep. All sad-
dles, bridles and harness necessary
for use of the family. All pro-
visions and forage on hand for
home consumption, and all current
wages for personal services
To all single persons are re-
served: "All wearing appaiel, all
tools, apparatus and books l>e-
longing to any trade or profession.
One horse, saddle and bridle. All
current wages for personal stir-
vices.''

It is a splendid farming section
