OrSnge, Texas, is troubled with the town
cow. Lake Charles is troubled just now with
weed-grown sidewalks. Is it not possible for
the towns to get together on the proposition
and make an arrangement that would result ad
vantageously to both?—Lake Charles Press.
We hardly think so. The Orange town cow
has cultivated a taste for fragrant flowers and
aromatic shrubbery to such an extent that she
would hardly be content with weeds, even of
the rank growth of those in Lake Charles.
A majority of the military companies of the
state, when attending the annual encampment,
are supplied with a company fund, with which
to purchase a few luxuries for the boys while
in camp, so they may have something more
than the ordinary coihmon fare supplied as
regular rations. The Orange company, so the
Leadef is advised, has no company fund at all
n and unless some of the good citizens come to the
front and assist in this matter the boys, good
soldiers that they are, will have to be content
with the regulation military fare. A number
ie Baraca fraternity are members of the
company and for them one lady has promised
to bake a big cake to take along with them.
If other ladies will do as much, and some of the
business men come to the front with some lib-
eral contributions* to a company fund, the Or-
ange company may fare as well as any of them
while at the encampment.
County Judge Sholars is to be commendec
for his prompt action in heeding the request o '
local cattlemen to establish a quarantine against
charbon infected cattle from Louisiana. It is
stated that the charbon in Cameron parish
not epidemic and can be easily stamped out.
This being the case, the quarantine will soon
be lifted and the cattle industry will not be in
jured.
.
We always prefer to think of a man like Wil-
liam Jennings Bryan as above reproach and be-
yond criticism, but ‘when he indulges in crit-
icism of the actions of senators in doing identi-
cally the same thing that he, himself, did while
a member of congress, then we feel that our
ideal has been shaken. In contending and vot
mg for a duty on lumber, Senator Bailey was
working for the interests of a very large pro
portion of his constituency, just as Bryan was
working for the best interests of his consti-
tuency when he voted for an increased tariff on
barley and barley products when the Wilson bill
was under discussion. It has always been bad
policy for the pot to call the kettle black, any
way.
One Orange citizen has recently invented a
novel skirt hanger and another has compiled
and is having published one of the most valuable
books that has been put on the market for a
long time, so vou see there’s something doing
here all the, while-—Orange Leader.
People will boast of something, no matter if
it is often about something ridiculous. Orange
boasts of a “novel «kirt hanger,” while here in
Bonham we have always had the most beauti-
ful skirt hangers in the world, and have never
. considered them novel at all.—Bonham News.
Thank you, Evans, Orange girls are some-
thing more than mere skirt hangers. In fact,
their skirts don’t hang on them at all, but fit
beautifully and perfectly, creating a picture
that is simply entrancing.
Heat prostrations are being daily reportec
from New York, Philadelphia, and other north
ern and eastern points. Here in Orange the
gentle breezes from the Gulf fan one’s brow to a
delicious coolness and make one feel sorry, in
deed, for a benighted people that will leave this
land of balmy breezes to make a trip in the
torrid summer time to northern resorts.
Even with a commission form of government
it would be mighty hard to improve on the
present city administration in Orange. But we
are hoping that if the commission form is adopt-
ed, the commissioners will be selected from some
of the best material comprising the present city
legislature.
The Waco Times-Herald labors long and
earnestly with the Galveston News in an effort
to explain the intricacies of the tariff to that
paper, but the Houston Post thinks that it is
love’s labor lost, for the News will not be con-
vinced, but will continue blindly in its opposi-
tion to Senator Bailey.
The fight on the lumber tariff in the Senate
has ended, the duty being fixed at $1.50 per
thousand feet, being fifty cents lower than the
present schedule and fifty cents higher than the
schedule fixed by the lower house. The com-
promise is very satisfactory to the lumber man-
ufacturing interests of the country.

The establishment at Orange of a rural free
delivery route on the first of July will mark
another Step forward in the march of progress
that is constantly in motion in Orange. The
postoffice business of a city is about the best
barometer as to its advancement or retrogres-
sion, and the postoffice at Orange has shown a
steadily increasing business for the past several
years. Free city delivery was established a
year ago and now comes rural free delivery on
one route, which will be quickly followed by
still another.
A local item in the Leader yesterday called
attention to the fact that one farmer'in the up-
per part of Orange county is cultivating cotton
this year and has as pretty a field of the fleecy
staple as may be seen anywhere. Progressive
farmers have told lift that cotton could lie grown
profitably in this county, in connection with
other crops and it has been a source of wonder
to us that it is not more universally cultivated
here. Up to this time, the cotton crop of Or-
ange county has been practically nil, there-never
having been more than three or four hundred
bales of cotton annually grown in this county.

It is gratifying to the many friends in Orange
of Mr. Chas. M. Rein, to learn that he has sno-
ut organizing a strong company for the
of pianos and organs in Houston,
bright prospects for a brilliant success.
' o manufacturer of Wisoonsin,
largely sold in Texas, is inter-
w company, as is C. Janeke, the
uston piano man, Jesse H. Jones,
lumberman of Houston, and oth
known in the industrial world. The
Mr. Rain unqualified success

A letter from Wharton this morning conveys
the information that the veterans are having a
errand time at the reunion of Green’s Brigade,
but the chances are that the next reunion will
go to Beeville, which is putting np a strong
fight for it. However, the Orange delegation
will not give up until the last vote is counted.
The Po’rt Arthur News states that five hun-
dred dollars worth of fireworks have been pur-
chased for the celebration at that place on July
5th. Now, we know we are going to Port Ar-
thur to celebrate, for we simply dote on fire-
works—and we went to eat some of that farm-
raised ice cream, too.
Yesterday was a good day for robbers. Out-
laws got away with the goods in New York,
Wisconsin and Fort Worth.—Galveston Tri
bone.
It must have been an off day in Galveston,
though, for not a .single outrageous robbery or
fiendish murder was reported.
A member of Houston’s saintly ball team yes
terday objected to a decision of the umpire and
laid him out with a blow on the bead, and the
game was forfeited to Fort Worth. It’s really
dangerous to be an umpire in a ball game in
Heavenly Houston.
The Allentown (Pa.) Democrat is getting
real peevish and wants messenger boys to be
enjoined from playing baseball on the streets,
and “putty blowers” put under the ban. Bud
Weiser must be getting old and has forgotten
his boyhood days.
A hotel keeper at Skidmore bears the very
appropriate name of Costly. We presume it
would not be out of place to refer to that as a
Costly hotel.
A real broncho buster is the latest attraction
added to the already long list of stunts to be
pulled off in Orange at the big celebration on
July second. There’ll be something doing ev-
ery minute in the day.
Civil Engineer Noguess has undertaken to

Jack’s ia no guess work, for he does it right
and locates his lines so perfectly and makes the
way so plain that “the wayfarer, though a,fool,
and pep- may not err therein.”

nouncement of quarantine by Orange

of charbon prevailing in Cameron and

Owners of cattle which were being
prepared to ship through here, and
which were to be barged to the coast
on the take and driven here for ship-
ment by rail, have been notified that
the cattle cannot come through here.
In compliance with the instructions
from County Judge Sholars in the
order instituting* quarantine against
Louisiana, Dr. Pearce, the county
health officer, will enforce vigorous
quarantine, and place men to watch
certain points to prevent the entry
into Orange coqnty of infected cat-
tle.
The Lake Charles American of
yesterday contains the following re-
port of visits to different parts of the
infected territory by the government
charbon expert:
“Dr. C. E. Mauldin, of the bureau
of Animal Industry, who was assign-
ed by the secretary of agriculture at
the instance of Representative A. P.
Pujo to investigate the charbon epi-
demic in this district, left for Cam-
eron this morning, after visiting ev-
ery affected locality iu the parish.
Reports received from Cameron yes-
terday indicate that the charbon has
not become so widespread in that
parish as at first reported, and that
it may be wiped out without serious
damage.
‘Dr. Mauldin found that from first
to last over 200 animals have been
affected by the dreaded disease in and
about Lake Charles In company
with Drv Paul and M. A Quilty, he
has kept constantly on the go for the
past four days and has rendered val-
uable service to the farmers, telling
them how to combat the disease and
impressing upon them the need of
burning the carcasses at once of ani-
mals that have succumbed to it
“Dr M. A. Quilty was advised to-
day of a fresh outbreak at Iowa where
a cow died last night and a horse
was affected this morning, and went
to that place on the morning train
The situation about Chloe is still very

QUEEN SNAKE STORY
Man Falla to Sleep While Reading
Beaumont Paper ami Sees Snakes
The Orange correspondent of the
Beaumont Enterprise tells a snake
story which runs something like this
A young man dropped into a saloon
and sat down to read the Enterprise
He fell asleep, and when he awoke
and found a six foot (stuffed) rattle-
snake by his side, the snake's head
touching his hand; he made a jump
which cleared the place in hall a sec-
ond. But upon being assured it was
a joke, he set 'em up. We have heard
before than a man would fall asleep
reading the Enterprise, but this is the
first time we have known where the
sleeper saw snakes as a result of the
reading. The young man was evident-
ly not well awake when he let the
crowd persuade him it was a joke—
on him. Or, perhaps, the Enterprise
representative wasn't nearby He’s
the man who should have set 'em up
