OKI MILLINERY OPENING
The twelve hundred islands
which,. Uncle Sam purchased in
the east, are costing ranch more
than was at first supposed. The
original price agreed upon was
twenty million dollars, but this is
being added to daily by the/lives
of from ten to a hundred men, of
the choice youth of our country.
Fighting in the Phillipines con-
tinues, and will continue until the
natives are exterminated.
The smallpox situation at La-
redo has quieted down, and the
disease is now confined to the
pest house. There . were nearly
two hundred cases at that place,
but Dr. Blunt thinks he has it
under control. Several new case
have developed near Bryan, a ca^
or two near Sherman and some at
other points in different parts of
the state.
It Requires an Artist
'
To create a stylish hat. about one in a hundred attempting to create hats is even
worthy the tribute of amateur. Mistakes, Half Mistakes, Three Quarter Mistakes, are prev^
alent in most hats, too much color, not enough color, too fussy, not fussy enough, too loud and
too tame etc.
We Have a Millinery Organization
Second to none anywhere, which fact you will admit after careful investigation’
if you have visited any of the Eastern Cities.
The Prices are Low.
There are some who may imagine that it costs more to get a hat from such a supe-
rior source. Not so% In fact the prices are far less than asked for indifferent styles else-
where. If you have not yet selected
YOUR SPRING HAT
Be sure and visit our Millinery Department the stock is still complete and will be
kept fully supplied with the latest things demanded by the fashionable world.
Texas gave the people who live
in it another sample ©f weather
last week. On Saturday the ther-
mometer registered up in the
ninety region, and on Monday it
came down much below forty,
showing a fall of more than fifty
degrees in less than forty-eight
hours. In this immediate section
it is not thought that the fruit
crop is injured, but in the north-
ern part of the state it is likely
that the fruit is all killed.'
The Leader reported a case of
smallpox last week in the region
of Kempner, giving full particu-
lars and a history of the case.
Dr. Lincecum went down there
and established a detention camp,
and put all who have been expos-
ed to the disease in the camp.
A number of tents have been sup-'
plied, and all are comfortable.
Dr. Joe Arnold is in charge of the
camp, being himself under the
quarantine, and the people gen-
erally are not uneasy.
Later—The young man died
Wednesday, but so far no other
cases have developed.
STOKES BROTHERS,
The Acknowledged Largest and Cheapest Store in Lampasas for Reliable Goods.
Since oil is found in such abun-
dant quantities in many parts of
Texas, there is some talk of se-
curing a deep well boring outfit
and going down into the earth to
see what may be found here.
There may be oil, there may be
natural gas or there may be coal,
gold, silver, copper, mica, gypsum
or other valuable minerals, but
one thing is very evident to this
writer, and that is that artesian
water could be had as a result of
going down a few hundred feet,
and that would pay for the trou-
ble of the experiment. If you are
interested about this matter, se(

and country and all were delight-
ed with the fine display presented
by Miss Poole and her assistants.
Ladies who did not get to come
Tuesday are invited to call at any
time and inspect this beautiful
stock of headwear. They will

artist in her line and the ladies
