Give Denison a Oit&noe to Grow.
Next Thursday, the nth, the
proposition to issue bonds to pro-
vide funds for securing an adequate
supply of water for Denisor. is to be
voted upon. All citizens who pay
taxes on personal or real estate, are
eligible to vote on this question.
This is one of the most important
matters that has ever been presented
to the city. If an abundance of
water can be secured, not only tor
domestic use, but to meet the re
quirement* of our present railroads
and others that may come here, and
for manufacturing purposes, the
growth of Denison will be pbenomi-
nal. It would mean a rapid advance
m real estate values, and an influx of
capital -that would soon place Deni-
son among the cities of the first-
class. One of the strongest argu-
ments in favor of thd* adoption of
the Commission form of government
was that it would facilitate the work
of securing a better water supply.
Then as capable men as could be se-
lected were elected,men in whom the
public has the utmost confidence,
and who are universally esteemed
for their integrity and business sa
gacity.* These men fully realise the
importance of this measure and will
leave no means unemployed to
achieve success if the citizens of Denr
ison uphold their hands by providing
the means requisite for the purpose.
It will take some time to decide be-
tween several leasable plans for
carrying out this project, which
means so much tor Denison’s future.
But, when they have matured their
plans, nothing further, is to be done.
Not a cent of the money is to be ex-
pended until they are authorized to
do so by a vote of the tax payers.
The election next Thursday is tor
the purpose of securing the means
to carry out the expressed wish of
the people. How the money shall
be expended doea not rest with the
Commission, but the tax payers
themselves. Its disbursement is in
their hands and subject to their ap-
proval expressed at the ballot box.
Nothing could be fairer. So turn
out Thursday and vote for the bonds
and give Denison a chance to grow.

The Gazetteer's exposure of
the coveted attempt ot the Herald to
prejudice the public against the pro-
posed issue of city bonds to provide
for an adequate water supply is
causing that concern considerable
embarrassment. The article showed
up the matter in an entirely different
light from that expected. The pub
lie now see that the Herald erected
a man of straw and then proceeded
to demolish it. For the information
of the Herald, who is remarkably
obtruse, apparently, the Gazetteer
will here state what probably every
other reader of the article in last
week’s Gazetteer already knows,
that the information that before any
money is expended in improving the
city water supply, the plan worked
out by the Commission will be sub-
mitted to a vote of the people for
their acceptance or rejection, was
obtained from the members ot the
Commission. If the writer in the
Herald, who has been hammering at
the Commission every day to tell
what they are going to do it the
bonds are voted had gone to the
Mayor, or either of the Commission-
ers, he would undoubtedly have been
given the information. But then, if
that had been done, there would
have been nothing to raise a racket
about. For the opinions expressed
in that article the Gazetteer alone
1* responsible. Have you any more
questions?

FLEA OF A OOHVIOT.
Katy Employes Asked to A Mist Mi
Who Bays He is Innocent.
Chief Clerk J. H. G. Little, of the Katy
bridge and building office, was given a
portion ot his attention to a matter yester-
day that Is rather out ot the ordinary run
of bridge and building business and also
of quite a pathetic nature. J. L. Oliver,
an inmate of the United State* penitenti-
ary at Leavenworth, Kas., who it serving
a life sentence under conviction for mur-
der in the first degree, claims that he is
innocent ot the crime; that he was simply
railroaded to prison because he was with-
out friends or money to shield some other
man who had both.
Rev. Edward A. Fredenhagen, general
superintendent of the Kansas society tor
the friendletr, at Topeka, and Warden
R. W. McClaughery, of the penitentiary,
have taken up the case and are trying fo
help the prisoner establish hit innocence,
if such Is the fact.
It it claimed by Oliver that on the night
of September 23, 1903, the night the crime
was committed, he was in Hillsboro,
Texas, and was in the company of the
foreman of a Missouri, Kansas and Texas
bridge and building gang which was wait-
ing to be transferred to some point south
ot Hillsboro that night. He claima that
he was on the train with the foreman
when the engine coupled on to pull them
south, and not till then did they part
company. Oliver had ioigotten this tore-
man’s name when he was tried for mur-
der, and was not allowed an opportunity
or the necessary Mme to hunt up this
clearing evidence at the time ot his trial.
He has enlisted the sympathy ot Super
intendent Bailey, of the bridge and build-
ing office, and his clerks, and they are
miking efforts lo locate the foreman ot
the crew that was at Hillsboro on this
date—Denison Herald.
Before J. H. G. Little, Superin-
tendent Bailey and the warden of the
Leavenworth penitentiary waste any
more sympathy on this murderer,
they should go 10 Durant and read
the evidence in this case. It was one
of the coldest-blooded murders on
record, and that this man Oliver is
the guilty party is beyond question.
He claims he was not given oppor-
tunity to get his witnesses is all bosh.
He was granted one continuance,and
those who represented him tried
their best to prove an alibi for him.
It was first claimed he was in Deni-
son the night the crime was commit-
ted, and a negro named Johnson
made affidavit he had been promised
money to testify he saw him in this
city. Tne next move was an attempt
to show he was on a train coming
from Fort Worth, but this well-laid
scheme was frustrated by the testi-
mony ot the train sheets, and also of
the brakeman who swore positively
no such man was on hi* train. They
then switched to Dallas,and were to
prove by a white man named John-
son that he saw him there. Johnson,
however, furnished an affidavit that
he never saw the man in Dallas, and
furthermore that he had been offered
$50 to testify in Oliver’s behalf.
During the trial it was never claimed
he was in Hillsboro at the time the
crime was committed. The identi-
fication of Oliver as the man who
fired the fatal shot which took the
life of Troy McMullin was complete.
A man who was riding on the car
with him and witnessed the crime
and the brakeman who was by the
aide of Troy when he was shot, rec-
ognized him even to the clothe* he
wore; so did the fireman
as also did others who saw
him get on the train. It was for-
tunate for this wretch the jury d;d
not vote to break his neck, and he
probably realized this, for his attor-
neys, who were three or four in
number, did not take an appeal.
A Smoker’s Breath.
The late Theodore Tilton, who
boasted that he had never had a pipe,
cigar or cigarette in his mouth, used
to declare that the most inveterate
smoker he ever knew was Sojourner
Truth, tne famous freedwoman re-
former and lecturer. He was wont
to tell how one day, when the ven-
erable dame, then about 90 years
old, was on a visit to ms house, she
sat smoking her pipe bv the chimney
corner, when George W. Bungay,
the author of several eloquent an-
ti-tobacco tracts, called to see her.
“Aunt Sojourner,” he said, “I
revere your character, but I deplore
your smoking, for it will keep you
forever out of heaven.’’
“Lawkes, honey, how so?” she
asked.
“Because, aunty,” he rejoined,
“you know that, according to the
Good Book, nothing entereth there
that defileth. Now, how do you ex-
pect to get into heaven with your
breatn defiled by tobacco ?’’
“Lawkes, honey,” answered the
old negress, “when I go to heaven
I ’spect to leave my brett behind
me!”—N. Y. Tribune.

was stolen. When Goebel was
elected he was «hot. When the
democrats of Oklahoma wrote a

We cannot hope and should not desire to
get away from the laws of nature. Failure
must eventually come to whatever is anta-
gonistic to these laws. In physical culture,
training the mind, science, morals, physic,
ethics, the natural laws of the universe
must not be antagonized if we would avoid
failure. Of how much more importance is
this great fact when we come to the human
body? If we cure disease we must work in
accordance with nature's laws. Physio-
medicalism is the natural system of healing
and Dr. Baker's Sanative (non-poisonous)
system of medication is in perfect accord
with nature's laws.

PAID AN OLD BILL-
01am Against the State Issued in Hous-
ton's Time.
A certificate of indebtedness of
the republic of Texas, of consider-
able historical value, has just been
received by the state treasury de-
partment. The certificate is in the
sum of $100 and was issued in 1S37
and is signed by President Sam
Houston, of the republic. The cer-
tificate was accompanied by a letter
from Mrs. J. D. Whatley, of Alvin,
Texas, widow of Freeman W.
Douglass. The writer requested the
treasury to issue a warrant for $ too
in favor, which amount was appro-
priated by the Thirtieth legislature
to pay this certificate. It appears
that the republic of Texas was in-
debted to Freeman W. Douglass tor
services in the battle of San Jacinto,
and the head of the republic issued
this scrip in payment, and now the
State of Texas has allowed the
claim. The certificate itself is rare,
and trom what can be learned, there
are not maDy in existence. The one
sent to the tteasury will be deposited
m the state library and placed in the
archives of the state. Mrs. What-
ley, however, will not be able to get
the cash until September 1, as the
general appropriation bill does not
become effective until that time.
