A PRETTY PICTURE.
Tainted by Master Hand, Bnt Van-
ished in Face of the Sun.
FOR RIGHT OF CONTRACT.
Favorable Report on Measure Con-
cerning Newspaper Advertising.
Austin, Tex., Feb. 17.—8enate
Committee on Internal Improve-
ments reported favorably bill by
Senators Perkins, Senter and Huds-
peth, declaring the right of newspa-
pers and railroads to contract for the
exchange of advertising for transpor-
tation, 8enator Holsey giving notice
of an adverse mluorlty report.
- This action was not taken without
considerable controversy. Senator
Murray contended that ths commit-
tee had already reported a bill em-
bodying the same subject, having ref-
'erence to the bill to amend the anti-
pass law, which bill was overloaded
with amendments. Senators Bryan,
Home, Perkins, Mayfield and Sen-
ter voted to report the bill, and
Senators Rrachfield, Holsey and
Murray against doing so.
At an early hour Tuesday looming
people on their way to work were at-
tracted by a magnificently beautiful
picture In a show window of one of
our popular dry goods stores. ^ The
picture was painted by a master's
hand, and while showing no artistic
blending of colors, its formation was
beyond human ken. Covering al-
most the entire plate glass window,
the frost crystals had formed a per-
fect picture of a large palm or pot
plant. Its stems extending about
three feet above Its base, the frost
crystals so harmoniously formed
that a glance at the formation was
sufficient to cause the passerby to
stop and admire. But the picture is
faded and gone; as the sun’s rays
came against the setting It faded and
disappeared as dew before a sun kiss-
ed day In August.
BIG CHIEF GE-
RONIMO DEAD
IERCE MAY I
COME IN MAY
Dallas, Feb. 1$.—A close personal
. friend of H. Ctaf Pierce, who reach-
ed Dallas laat night, stated to a cor-
respondent that Pierce Is not com-
ing to Tessa In the Immediate fu-
ture; that he left Mr. Pleroe in 8t.
!x>uls; that Pierce Is still there and
has not contemplated coming to
Texas at this time, since the personal
ease against him has been continued
to the May term of court at Austin.
This gentleman expressed himself
as surprised at the groundless news-
ir reports thst have found dr-
in Texas, particularly those
itod yesterday morning. He
says there is no necessity for Mr.
Pteree’s presence In Texas In eonnee-
with the settlement of the Wa-
Plerce Company fine of $1,400,-
Mr. Pierce has placed the
the hands of his attorneys
settlement will be made
time, when the final
mandate of the United
art have been re-
st pedal to Courlor-Gazette.
Fort Worth, Tex., Feb. 17.—Oe-
ronimo, noted Apache chief, died to-
day at Fort Sill, where he haa been
confined as a prisoner of war for a
number of years and not allowed to
leave the reservation without a spe-
cial permit from the United States
government.
Geronimo was very old an d always
went about wearing a Colt’s army
pistol or carrying a Winchester ri-
fle, but precautions were taken to see
that he secured no ammunition. Durfl
lng the latter years of his life his
presence has been much sought after
by managers of special conventions
and It was sxpected that he would be
present as an attraction at the next
stock show in Fort Worth.
■Some few years ago ths grim,
stoical old chieftain of a once pow-
erful t.ibe of savages, ahorn of his
power as chief, deprived of his liber-
ty and kept prisoner of war by or-
der of ths war department, embrac-
ed the “white mas’s religion” and
often exhorted hts own people to
take up the white man’s ways—a
custom which he could never bring
himself to accept.
Bnt Geronimo has crossed the
great divide and Is now with the
great spirit In the “Happy hunting
grounds” where the pale-face will
not molest and the war cry of his
race it never heard.

j The Stony Point or Chambliss
(OMimunlty is wrapped in deepest
gloom over the death of one of Its
oldest and most respected citizens
whose demise occurred Saturday.
Sflnday night a reporter for this pa-
p< r found Rev. T. A. Davis at the
C ty hotel. Mr. Davis is pastor of
tlte Presbyterian church at Farmers-
vMle. and also serves the church at
Mtllusa. He was returning from
8tbny Point where he had been to
perform the last sad rltea over the
grave of a departed pioneer.
On Saturday, at his home at Stony
Point, Tom Nichols, aged 60 years,
died after some days Illness, and
was burled at the cemetery there
Sunday afternoon, the funeral ser-
vices being held there. Rev. Mack
Cook, pastor of the Stony Point Bap-
tist church assisted Rev. Davis lu
the funeral service.
Thomas Nichols, the deceased,
was born In Rhea county, Tennessee,
Aug. 24. 1848, and came to Collin
county with his parents when very
yoqpg, and has lived in the Stony
t community since coming to
county. On Aug. 16, 1879, he
married to Mlsa Zora Ballinger,
rphan girl who was raised and
for as one of their own chll-
by J. C. Price and wife of that
unity, who yet survive and
at the funeral Sunday. Eleven
children were born to Mr. and Mrs.
Nlclola, of which number ten are
yet living. Deceased was an uncle
of Commissioner Nichols, and of
Miss Dora Nichole, one of the best
known public school teachers in
Collin county.
Mr. Nichols was a man of the pio-
neer days of Texas, a sturdy, honest
and upright man, loved and revered
by all who knew him, and the Sto-
ny Point community keenly feels
that they have lost one of the best
among them. In 1869 he was elect-
ed to the eldership In the Melissa
Presbyterian church and has served
the church In that capacity continu-
ously since that time.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 18.—
Last Bulletin gave forecasts of dis-
turbance to cross continent 18 to 22,
warm wave 17 to 21, cool wave 20 to
24. The principal weather features
of this disturbance were expected to
be a Treat change in temperatures
from very low to about normal in
the great central valleys and west-
ward, while continuing colder than
usual In the eastern states. Severe
weather generally with probably dan-
gerous storms in a few places and a
decrease In precipitation.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about 21, croas Pacific slope by
close of 22, great central valleys 23
to 26, eastern states 26. Warm wave
will cross Pacific slope about 21,
great central valleys 23, eastern
states 25. Cool wave will cross Pa-
clflo slope about 84, great central
valleys 26, eastern states 28.
Following Feb. 20 dangerous
storms may be expected to end of
the month. The cool wave to reach
Meridian 90 about 26 will turn to
a cold wave in the eastern states.
Not much precipitation. L >ok out
for strenuous weather.
Last disturbance of Feb. will reach
Pacific coast about 26, cross Pacific
slope by close of 27, great central
valleya 28 to March 1, eastern states
March 1. Warm waves will cross Pa-
cific slope about 26, great central
valleys 28, eastern states March 2.
Cool wavo will cross Pacific slope
about 28. great central valleys March
2, eastern statee 4.
I advise all readers of these bul-
letins to be prepared for severe
storms during the passage of this
disturbance. Temperatures will go
very high as the low or storm center
approaches and a cold wave, with
snow storms north and cold ralna
south, will follow. These great #x-
tremea of weather will make It very
disagreeable. Precipitation will In-
crease following the high tempera-
ture wave.
The cold wind and bllxsard that
reached Meridian 90 about Feb. t
was a moat remarkable fulfillment
of theee bulletin predictions. My
cold wave forecasts for the winter
have been 7$ per cent good. 81owly
my system of forecasting la being
perfected. The greatest difficulty
now is the fact that the numerous
weather cycles I have discovered
overlap each other. But, after care-
fully looking Into thla matter, my
financial friends have provided the
means to carry on the experiments
that will remedy thla difficulty and
the experiments are sew In progress.
A period of eight days severe cold
will progress eastward serosa (he
eoatlaeat March 8 to 10. half
of month will be warmer than

The recent visit here of Rev. F. A
Brown of Richmond, Va.. represent-
ing the Oenersl Assembly of the
Southern Presbyterian church, who
delivered an Interesting address at
the First Presbyterian church Triday
night on behalf of the Laymen’s For
ward Movement, brings to general
attention the splendid foreign as
well as home missionary work being
accomplished by the First Presbyter-
ian church of thla city. For about
seven years past this church has
been maintaining a missionary at
Takamatsu, Japan, Walter 8. Mc-
Cannon, a splendid young man aent
out by thla church, having been In
charge of the mission until two
years ago, when it became self-sus-
taining and placed in charge of a na-
tive pastor, a young man converted
under the ministry of Rev. MoCan-
□on, who la now a member of the
faculty of the Presbyterian Theolog-
ical Seminary at Kobe, Japan. Three
other young men, converted at this
mission, are now in the Junior class
of the seminary, preparing for the
ministry, which is still under the
supervision of the First Presbyterian
church of this city. In addition to
this splondld foreign missionary
work accomplished by this church
in the past six or seven years, there
will soon enter the ministry the first
minister from this church, In the
person of John McWilliams who is
now a member of the Junior class rt
Austin College, Sherman. He is a
son of Mrs. Belle McWilliams of
this city, of splendid talent and stu-
dious habits, who gives promise of a
great work in hlti noble calling.
During the seven years that Rev.
8. L. Rleves has been pastor of this
church It has made marvelous pro-
ress In missionary work, both home
and foreign, and stands at the fore-
front among all the congregations of
the Southern Presbyterian church.

COFFMAN CASE
tAGEDY
The case of the State vs. Louie
Coffman, charged with the murder of
his wife near Meliaaa on the night of
January S, came up for trial in dis-
distrlct court Tuesday, but on ac-
count of the absence of a number of
witnesses both for the State and de-
fense, the case was set over until
1:30 o'clock Wednesday. Yester-
day when the case waa called
the 8tate announced ready, but the
defense offered a motion for a con-
tinuance until next term of court.
The chief ground of the motion for
a continuance was the serious ill-
ness of the defendant's mother, a
material witness, whom the attend-
ing physicians testified waa not able
to attend court. After hearing the
motion, the court granted the con-
tinuance. The next term of district
court convenes May 17.
A Happy Negro.
The case of the State vs. Fred
Taylor went to the jury Tueeday
afternoon. Taylor, who Is a negro,
was charged with the murder of Joe
Lomas, a Mexican, October 4. The
defendant was rspresentsd by “The
Triumvirate,” and the trial had been
in progress since Monday morning.
When the jury filed Into court with
Its verdict the defondant Involuntar-
ily rose and hie mouth gradually
opened until you could have drop-
ped Webster’s Unabridged dictionary
Into it and as the olerk read “Not
guilty” au exclamation of thankful-
neee came from his untutored lips
which fsw could express as wall and
none excel, (t was. “I wlaht I had
something I could give to every-
body.” Negro-like, a flash of old-
time darky, typical of unselfishness.
Freed largely by ths evidence of his
white friends Messrs. McKinney. Em-
erson. Ed Rhea and Fred Heard,
who g*.ve him h good character,
there la no donbt that he will always
be ready and willing to do anything
he can for those who were friends In

north room of the house, the weap-
on used being n 41 caliber Colts' re-
volver. Three shots were fired, two
of which took effect, one entering
tke left breast and passing satirely
through the body, ranging downward
and coming out near the middle of
the back to the right of the spinal
column. Ths other shot entered
Just below the left side of the neck,
but did not pass through the body.
Foreman staggered to the east door
of the room where he sank down
and expired in a few moments. A*
he fell he gave a low moan and
then mumbled a few words, bnt
they were unintelll&lbfe » .to those
who gathered about him after he
fell.
After the shooting the sheriff’s
department here wss notified by
’phone of the occurrence, and Depu-
ty Sheriffs Albert McCauley and Ed
Blakeman left at once for the scene
of the tragedy. When they arrived

Worsham was taken Into custody. A
messenger was sent tor Justice of
the Peace T. T. Webb to hold an In-
quest and Mr. Webb at once drove
out to the Wordsworth home, with
County Commissioner W. M. Burgess,
and they were soon followed by Dep-
uty Sheriff Tony McDonald and Coun-
ty Attorney George P. Brown. Night
Policeman Tom Chambliss and oth-
er, i from this city were also soon at
the scene on receipt of news of ths
shooting.
Justice Webb held an lnqnest and
as a result of the proceedings ren-
dered a verdict that the deceased
mine to his death from wounds in-
ti lcted by the discharge of a revolver
held In the hands of Waddill Wor-
sham. 'Worsham was brought in
about 11:30 o’clock last night and
placed in Jail. He has not given
