Owens, 27 years old, of Mem-
phis, Tenn., who was taken to
the hospital four months ago.
with a broken neck, of vwhich he
was unaware, was discharged
last night as cured.
When taken to the hospital, lit-
tle hope was entertained for his
recovery. His head was placed
in a brace and his refusal to die
attracted much attention to his
case.
Physicians now declare his
neck is as sound as ever.
He suffered a fall four months
ago and attributed the stiffness
in his neck to rheumatism.

Drs. Gambrel and Rankin have

And there’s trouble in camp
Of the Anti Saloon Saloon lea-
guers. Sterling P. Strong, the
chairman and moving spirit in
the cause is out. Strong is for
Johnson for governor, and
the league wouldn’t stand for it.
Sterling P. says he quit “to en-
gage in a more profitable busi-
ness.” He now gives it out that
he is to take the stump for John-
son for governor. This means
that the anti-saloon league of
Texas is for the Cleburne man
for governor.—West News.

We notice from an article in j
Merchants Trade Journal thati
| one of the well known mail order j
j houses has to pay $15,750 for i
j suit brought against them for!
misrepresentation. The firmin'
[question purchased an out put
| of gasoline engines from a man-1
ufacturer and in selling some to
i the public they raised the power \
one-half on each engine and the!
manufacturer sued for damages.
This is like all mail order houses
and is a question of honesty or
dishonesty. Better spend your
money with your home men who
back up their word with their
honor.

Broncho Bnster Killed by a Horse
Wichita Falls, Tex., April 15.—
A broncho buster by the name of
Pat Flynn, belonging to the
Booker Red’s Wild West show
was instantly killed at 10
o’clock tonight by ahorse falling
on him during a performance of
the show in this city. The spec-
tators did not seem to realize the
man was hurt, believing it to be
a part of the show. Pat Flynn’s
home is at Marie, Okla., to which
place the remans will be ship-
ped tomorrow.
Austin, Tex., April 9.—Sena-
tor J. L. Peelers of Austin was
asked what makes the legislature
so unpopular. He replied: “The
question is easily answered. It
is because the state democratic
convention sticks a lot of rot in
their platform every two years
and the members of the bouse
and senate being practically all
democrats enact them into laws
Then the people howl and abuse
the legislature. Everybody
knows that the state democratic
primary selects the candidates
for the different offices, and that
being all the people are interest-
ed in, they do not ordinarily at-
tend the conventions. The result
is the state conventions are
mostly composed oj politicians,
of whom could not be elected
justice of the peace at home, and
they resolute on this and that
and adopt this plank and that
plank, and then expect the legis-
lature to enact them into laws. If
the senators and representatives
do not vote for the bills intro-
duced in accordance with the
platform, they are denounced as
traitors to the democratic party,
and if they do vote for them,
they are cursed from one end of
the state to the other. The great
majority of the people know
we already have to many laws,
and that if about one-third of
them were repealed and the oth-
ers straightened out, the state
would be in better condition. Let
the democratic party quit its
foolishness and the legislature
will not be so unpopular.”
Regarding the gubernatorial
race, Senator Peeler said:“ What
differenoe does it make who Sen-
ator Bailey favors or opposes for
governor? He is only a man and
has only one vote the same as
you or I, and has the same inter
est and no more than you or I
have in the governor of Texas.
The agitation of the so-called
Bailey question in the governor’s
race is about as relevant as the
discussion of a badger fight, and
simply illustrates why every leg-
islature is required to enlarge
the lunatic asylums. However,
it is rather remarkable to see
how some of the pros are trying
to make Senator Bailey the main
issue They are doing this solely
with the view of driving anti-
prohibiuionists who are anti-Bai-
leyites from Mr. Colquitt. It is a
sharp trick and is being worked
with-i. effect. All of the prohi-
bitionists are not engaging in
such a scheme because thou-
sands ef them are supporting
Mr.’Colquitt. They know he is
honest. They know he would
not cater to demogogy to become
governor. Some of the prohi-
bitionists are the sharpest politi
cians we have in Texas and it is
astonishing to see how they can
pull the wool over the eyes of
sotne of the antis, and I want
to say here and now to those ea-
sily persuaded, weak-kneed, wa-
ter-jointed, sapheaded anti-prohi-
bitionists that if they do not fall
intb line and stay there, they
may get prohibition next year so
quick it will make their head
swim.
