There are several very offen-
sive mud holes in town that need
filling up.

The insurance rate war in San

became obscured by a
of dense blackness. The olouds
drew nearer, and as they ap-
proached, the ominous growl of
heavy thunder and the vivid
flashes of chain lightping were
almost continuous, and sent fear
into the hearts of timid ones.
Between 7:30 and 8 o’clock,
the storm broke and for a period
of a few minutes the sound of

“Apples” is a new game all the

Precinct conventions will be
held in this county on the last
Saturday in May to select dele-
gates to a county convention to
be held in Weatherford the first
Saturday in June. At the latter
convention delegates will be ap-
pointed to attend state and dis-
trict conventions. It will be well
for the democratic voters of this
county to bear this in mind, to
the end that delegates to the
various conventions be chosen
who will represent the sentiments

soon quelled and a steady down-;
pour set in which continued for
some time.
The wind came suddenly and
left suddenly, but during its brief
visit some little damage was done
by it. In the business section of
town the front gables of the buil-
dings on the southwest oorner of
the square occupied by paint
shops were blown down. At the
court house, window lights in the
southwest corner tower were
blown in. On the northeast cor-
ner of the square, the iron and
wood awnings in front of M. B.
Kouns’ saddle shop and the Club
Restaurant collapsed. Two heavy
plate glass window transoms in
the Lowe-Carter front were suck-
ed out by the wind and shattered
in the street. H. B. Dorsey’s
coal sheds were considerably
damaged, and slight damage is
reported from the compress.
In the residence sections, the
destruction of many trees and
some few fences is reported, and
in the country similar damage is
said to have been done. At the
City cemetery, several trees were
damaged, one of which in falling
broke down two panels of the
iron fence surrounding the place.
So far, no extensive damage
done by the hail has been report-
ed.
The lightning burned out some
seventy-five telephone fuses, and
many electric lamps suffered from
the same effect.
The extent of the rain seems to
have been general throughout the
county, and the benefit it is to
crops is very great.
The severity of the wind caus-
ed many to be more or less ap-
prehensive, and several laughs
able incidents are said to have
resulted therefrom.
CURES COUGHS AND COLDS.
Mrs. C. Peterson, 625 Lake St.,
Topeka, Kansas, says: "Of all
cough remedies Ballard’s Hore-
hound Syrup is my favorite; it has
done and will do all that is claimed
for it—to speedily cure all coughs
and colds—and it is so sweet and
pleasant to the taste.” 25c, 50c,

tended.
The Knights with their guests
assembled at Castle Rail in the
early part of the evening where
a social hour was enjoyed.
At the hall, a program of music
and readings was listened ^6 with
great appreciation. The readings
were given by' Misses Grace Hoi
musio by the orchestra of the
Citisens Concert band.
Toward 10 o’clook, the assem-
bly repaired to the banquet room
were long rows of tables covered
with snowy linen and glittering
glass, and looked with things
pleasant to eat, were waiting for
the throng. The meats and sal-
ads and desserts and tiie side
dishes had been prepared with
great skill and gave evidenoe
that the Rathbone Sisters, who
had prepared the banquet, were
queens in the kitchen as. well as
in fraternal circles and in the
parlor.
H. C. Shropshire proposed the
toasts of the evening and in a
very happy style did he acquit
himself. The responses were
giveii as followr: “Pythian Prin-
ciples,” H. Gernsbacher of Fort
Worth; “A True Knight,” C. H.
Powell of San Angelo, “The
Rathbone Sisters,” George B.
Johnson of Fort Worth, and
“Lone Star Lodge No. 4,” H. 8.
Moran of Weatherford. AH the
responses were opportune and
felicitous, and were filled with
clever phrase and brilliant
thought.
At a reasonable hour the gath-
ering dispersed, amidst a general
good feeling.
HOW TO WARD OFF AN AT-
TACK OF RHEUMATISM.
“For years when spring time
came on and I went into garden-
ng, I was sure to have an attack
of rheumatism and every attack
was more severe than the preceding
one,” says Josie McDonald of Man,
vOgan county, Wess Va. “I tried
everything with no relief whatever,
until I procured a bottle of Cham-
berlain’s Pain Balm, and the first
application gave me ease, and be-
ore (he first bottle was used I felt
ike a new person. Now I feel
that I am cured, but I always keep
a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain
ialm in the house, and when I feel
any symptoms of a return I soon
drive it away with one or two ap-
ilications of this liniment,” For

The big hearted people of
Weatherford may always be de
pended on to do the noble and
generous thing. When anyone
is in distress and needs assist-
ance the response is always com-
mensurate with the demand.
The case of Mrs. Minnick, whose
child was bitten by a mad-dog

to take the little one to 8t. Louis

bit chase Saturday. 1
There were some thirtyjj
fbrty of the brutes killed Saturday,
all told, and this summary
slaughter of them is the result of
the alarm occasioned by the re-
cent appearanoe of mad dogs
brought to a climax Saturday
by an afflicted setter, said to have
belonged to Marshall Minnick,
which went through the streets
biting and snapping at every-
thing he met, especially other
dogs.
The dog referred to went
mad Friday afternoon when it
bit a young child of Mr. Min-
nick’s. It left the plaoe and went
over town during the night, bit-
ing other dogs in its path, among
the number being two of Tom
Lovelady’a, which have sinoe
been killed. This morning, a Mr,
Hall ran across the dog in the
east part of town and followed
him to kill him. The dog was
going at a gait peculiar to dogs
so afflicted, and was not killed
until after a five or six mile ohase
which Marshal John Brown
participated, also. The chase ex-
ended over several prominent
residence streets and through the
business section of town.several

the dog, without a whelp, con-

when Mr. Brown overtook him
again, and sent a second bullet
through a vital part. Both shots
were fired while Mr. Brown Was
horseback, and both he aad the
dog were in motion.
The dog is paid to have bitten

Many so called "bitters” are not
medicines, but simply liquids dis-
guised, so as to evade the law.
Sickly Ash Bitters is not one of
this class. It is strictly a medicine,
acting primarily on the kidneys,
iver and bowels, and for the dan-
gerous diseases that attack these
organs it is a remedy ef the first

The information was at onoe
imparted to Mrs. Nichols at her
home near Anneta, and Saturday
morning on the early train, she
left for St. Louis.
Mr. Judd, who was also
severely bitten by the same dog,
could not be found, but it is re

for that city for treatment. Mr

Fire Sunday Bight.
Sunday night between 9 and 10
o’dook fire was discovered in the
iron olad building on York Ave-
nue used by T. R. Erwin A Co.,
as a warehouse for flour feed,
sugar and other things, and be-
fore the flames could be extin-
guished, considerable damage
was done the contents.
The fire seems to have origina-
ted in a corner of the building
occupied by a lot of hay, but as
to its cause, nothing is known; it
is surmised, however, on account
of its nature, that it was the work
of an incendiary.
The department was delayed
slightly in getting to the scene
on account of trouble in receiv-
ing the alarm, and also, the un-
ruliness of one of the horses.
However, when the members of
the department did get to work,
they made short play of the
flames.
Mr. Erwin states that the loss
sustained will amount to prob-
ably $1,600. Insurance was car-
ried in connection with the prin-
cipal stock, and fully covers the
loss.
