that on one occasion he beard through
his law partner, Mr. Synott, now de-
ceased, that there had been some ir-
regularities in the accounts between
Mr. Horger and the Woman’s Mis-
sion Society. The matter was written
up with comment in the paper, head-
ed "An Ugly Affair.” He said that he
learned that Mr. Horger had branded
the statement as a lie. whereupon he
went to Mrs. Campbell, a member of
the society, to whom he showed the
article and inquired if it was correct
or incorrect. Mrs. Campbell said that
the article was correct. A copy of the
resolutions of the society in which
Mr. Horger had been exonerated
were handed in for publication. Mr.
West at once decided to publish the
resolutions, but first carried them to
Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Shaw, both
of whom, he declared told him that

were published, followed by comment
on the same by the editor, who stated

Board of Education Buys An Issue
of $22,000. ||
Austin, Nov. 24.—The state board
of education today purchased an is-
sue of $22.t Ml state of Texas gold
bond* which before maturity bore 5
per cent interest. These bonds are
part of a total amount of $1363)00
state of Texas gold bonds that ma-
tured July 1,1909. and for the redemp-
tion of which the governor vetoed
the item in the general appropriation
hill This issue of $22,000 of bond*
we* purchased from Tyler county
and as these bond* matured since last
July and as the board of education
paid only par for them. Tyler county
lost $366 cm the transaction in inter-
est for the last four montha. This
leaves only about $20,000 more of
these state bonds yet outstanding, the
others having been purchased by the
board of education as fast as present-
ed. wbkh Is in keeping with the prom-
ise made by the governor when he ve-
toed the appropriation, that the state
board of education would purchase
them at par for the benefit of the per-
manent school fund. No revenue,
however, is being derived from these
bonds by the school fund, conse-
quently some provision will bare to
be made to psy the interest by the
next legislature to the permanent
school fund.

Cherry, 111., Nov. 24.—The bodies
of 168 miners were found this morn-
ing in the St Paul mine in a huddled
and tangled mas# at the foot of the
escape shaft in tfw third vein. Few
showed indication* of being burned,
awl it is believed that all suffocated.
It is evident that the men rushed for
escape to the shaft, only to be met
by the terrible sweep of flames, and
were driven back to succumb to the
black damp. No hope of finding any
living in the mine today.

the plaintiff, she having testified on
Monday of this week. Witness stated
that there bad been a wrangle of ten
years’ duration in Newton county
from a political standpoint. He stated
