School Building Begun.
The board of trustees have
succeeded in placing school
bonds to the extent of $13,000,
getting’par and occured interest
therefor. $10,000 were sold to
Donley county, through County
Judge George F. Morgan, and
$2,000 to Bosque county.
Jt__.The excavation of ditches was
bugun last Tuesday. Three hon-
ored pioneers of Bosque county
had the honor of participating in
breaking the first dirt. Oapt. J.
H. Yarbuo held the plow, “Uncle”
Nat Massev drove the team and
Dr. W. H. Russell acted as guide.
These men helped to build the
first school building here, and it
was a picturesque scene when
they started work on this last
one.
The trustees have labored ear-
nestly to float the bonds and be-
gin work but the late stringency
held them in check. We rejoice
that at last work has begun and
that the cherished hopes of this
school community for a modern
school building is being realized.
We hope the work may be push-
ed to completion before the fall
term ef 1908 begins.—Walnut
Springs Hustler.
T. A. Greer and S. J. Covey
have bought the stock of the
Bosque Mercantile Co. that rec-
ently failed in this city, and op-
ened up for business last Satur-
day. The style of the new firm
is Greer & Covey, and it will be
a strong concern. R. W. Wal-
ton, Edgar Booth and Rolfe Wal-
ton are in the employ of this
firm.—Morgan News.

down that life hung on a very slender
thread, it was then ray druggist rec-
ommenced Klectrie Bitters, f bought
a bottle, and I got what I needed-
strength. 1 had one foot in the grave,
but Electric Bitters put it back on the
turf again, and I’ve been well ever
since.” Sold under guarantee at

Senator Replies to Gibson.
The following is republished
from the Fort Worth Record of
Saturday, April 18:
Palestine, April 17.—(Special)
—Senator Bailey today gave out
the following letter, which is self-
explanatory:
Palestine, Texas, April 17.—
To J. S. Gibson, Corsicana, Tex.:
My Dear Mr. Gibson—I did not
receive while in Port Worth your
letter of April 12, addressed to
me there, and «ny attention has
just been called to it as published
in The Dallas News of April 15.
I know your friendship for me,
and I am therefore more than
willing to define for your satis-
faction my attitude toward Mr.
Bryan. As stated to you in our
brief and hurried conversation,
as I was leaving Corsicana, our
Fort Worth Convention pledged
its nominees to support Mr.
Bryan for the Democratic Pres-
idential nomination, and you
know my views upon the duty
of obeying instructions well
enough to know that I would
withdraw from the ticket unless
I intended to carry out the will
of the convention, in the most
perfect good faith. Butnotpnly
will I vote for Mr. Bryan, be
cause of this public pledge to do
so, but I favored making the
pledge, and I would vote for his
nomination even if I were not in
structed to do so. I have believ-
ed ever since Judge Park-
er’s nomination and disasterous
defeat that Mr. Bryan’s nomina-
tion was not only inevitable, but
that under all the circumstances
it was the wisest one that our
National convention can possibly
make, and I shall therefore ear-
nestly support him in the Den-
ver convention. Not only shall
I support his nomination but I
shall likewise aid to the best of
my ability in making a platform
which shall be Democratic in ev-
ery respect and upon which Mr.
Bryan will have the best chance
of an election. You will permit
tne to call your attention to the
fact that just after the adjourn-
ment of the Democratic National
conference of 1904, Mr. Bryan
bore generous testimony in the
Commoner to my part in the
work of making the platform of
that body. As you requested
me to make some public expres-
sion on that subject, 1 shall take
the liberty of giving this letter
to the press. Very truly, your
friend, s J. W. BAILEY.
eer Alma Long and Fireman Ed
Allsup were the only missing
ones. Rev. Fredrick Bowen
took a list of the passengers and
while two lived at Houston, all
were unharmed. The search
for the bodies of Long and Allsup
lasted all night, and they were
not found until this morning.
Lang was lying near the wreck,
while Allsup’s body was carried
two miles below. Long’s body
was removed to Willingham’s
undertaking establishment be-
fore noon.
The wrecked cannot get to the
engine on account of the long
stretch of track missing. Hun-
dreds of people have visited the
wreck but at 2 a. in. the engine
remains as it lay after the plunge
into the raging current. The
Santa Fe has put on an extra
force to rebuild the track. The
eifY lias also put on extra po-
lice to watch the property of the
flood sufferers and to gather up
the stock liberated by fences be-
ing washed away. The Santa Fe
and carnival company are the
biggest losers. No estimate can
yet be placed on the losses.
All citizens are assisting in
caring for the unfortunate and
order will soon be restored.

Mr. S. L. Bowen, of Wayne, W.
Va., writes: “I was a sufferer from
kidney disease, so that at times I
could not get out of bed, and when I
did i covlt^ not stand straight. I took
Foley’s Kidney Cure. One dollar
bottle and part of the second cured
me entirely.” Foley’s Kidney Cure
works wonders where others are total
failures. C. R. Walton k Son.

Cleburne, Texas, April 18.-
For two hours between 8 and 10
o’clock Ja&t night, a devastating
flood vj^ited this section. Small
houses floated down East and
West Buffalo oreeks which meet
at the southern limits of the city.
Railroad embankments on the
southern side of the city assist-
ed in backing the water and the
houses and other drift choked
the bridges span, adding to the
difficulty.
The Parker Carnival on West
Buffalo creek was partially wash-
ed away. City, teams assisted in
the rescue. Two lions escaped
tmd but for the watchful eye of
Madam Larosa, their trainer,
would have drowned. Jose
Sanchez, a carnival laborer, had
both legs broken by being jam-
med between the floats. The
carnival company’s loss is esti-
mated at $12,000.
While the citizens were in a
panic news came that the first
seotion of train No. 68, on the
Santa Fe had plunged into. East
Buffalo creek, which was from a
half to a mile wide. At 3 a. m.
the passengers walked into the
city and said the engine had
