An interesting letter from Dr.
C. M. Bamsdell appears in anoth-
er place in this issue. Wherever
Dr. Bamsdell may go he will
never forget the Leader and the
Leader is sure to remembei him.
A fine norther blew up Sunday
afternoon, breaking down some
china trees, blowing down a few
signs and changing the position
of a large quantity of real estate.
There has been no frost as yet,
but stoves and heavier clothing
are in demand.
A Clever Trick.
It certainly looks like it, but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can
try it who has Lame Back and Weak
Kidneys, Malaria or nervous troubles.
We mean he can cure himself right
away by taking Electric Bitters. Thit
medicine tones up the whole system,
acts as a stimulant to liver and kidneys-,
is a blood purifier and nerve tonic. It
cures Constipation, Headache, Fainting
Spells, Sleeplessness and Melancholy.
It is purely vegetable, a mild laxative,
and restores the system to its natural
vigor. Try Electric Bitters and be con-
vinced that they are a,miracle worker.
Every bottle guaranteed. Only 50 cents
a bottle at Key & Ratliff’s drug store. 3

LAMPASAS
Has well graded streets, an electric
light plant, a telephone system with
long distance connections, a system of
water works with eight miles of pipe
and a natural supply of water that can
not be excelled either in quantity or
quality. We have six churches that
would be creditable to a much larger
city. Our present population is about
3,000 and is steadily increasing with the
natural development of the country at
the rate of one or two hundred annually.
Our business interests are supported by
a diversified agricultural and stock
country, and owing to the advance in
the latter, we are fairly prosperous.

Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the public
to know of one concern in the land who
are not afraid to he generous to the
needy and suffering. The proprietors
of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con-
sumption, Coughs and Colds have given
away over ten million trial bottles of
this great medicine; and have the satis-
faction of knowing it has absolutely
cured thousands of hopeless cases.
Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and all
diseases of the Throat, Chest and L‘
are surely cured by it. Cal

Discipline Necessary.
George P. Scriven, of the United
States Signal Corps, recently delivered
a lecture upon Discipline, from which
some extracts are given below. The
truths uttered apply in every depart-
ment of life as well as in army and
navy circles.
“Without discipline and habits of
obedience no man is fit to command,
and a body of armed men becomes a
mob whose power is dissipated in fruit-
| less individual effort—a mere rope of
sand without coherence and without
strength.
“In order to be effective each part of
a command, like each piece of a loco-
motive, must do its work instantly and
without friction, or the machine is use-
less.
“Discipline, among men who work
together for any purpose, means simply
the fitting of each individual man into
the great general whole, and this fitting
in of the parts ip as much the result of
careful work, on the man as on the
metal which is filed into shape. Great
generals, like great poets, are perhaps
born, not made, but the working men
of an army, the men who constitute
the finished instrument which the mas-
terhand wields, are made, and made,
moreover, by hard work, long exper-
ience, and the familiarity with detail
which such experience give3.
“Discipline in an army depends, of
course, upon those in authority; hut
more upon junior and non-commission-
ed officers than upon officers of higher
grades, whose time and energies should
be taken up by ■ other- matters. It is
hardly too much to say that upon the
captains and first'sergeants of a com-
mand, no matter how large, depends
the discipline* ef- the troops. A good
captain will have good non-commis-
sioned officers, and a good first sergeant
will carry out the ideas of his captain
and will instill into other non-commis-
sioned officers and into privates, es-
pecially in the new men as they join,
those -notions of obedience and respect
for authority which makes good sol-
diers.
“In the armies of Europe, habits of
discipline and the unquestioning obe-
dience of inferior to superior are mat-
ters of comparatively easy accomplish-
ment, for class distinctions come

It is a fact worthy of note that Texas
got more glory out of the late war with
Spain than any other state in the Union.
Almost every officer who acquired any
great prominence in the campaign is
well known to the people of this state.
There is General Shatter, better known
to the people of West Texas as “Pecos
Bill Shatter, who was stationed for
many years at the border posts in this
state, and came to be looked upon as an
adopted Texan; General Chaffee, who
was also for many years located in
Texas; General Lawton, who fought
Indians on the Texas plains; Col. Theo
dore Roosevelt and his Rough Riders,
who were encamped for several weeks
at San Antonio, many of the best men
in his regiment being natives of this
state; the first artillery of the regular
army which took such a prominent part
in the Santiago campaign, now. back at
their old station at Fort Sam Houston;
Reber’s great distinction through the
fighting around Santiago. In addition
to these General Graham, formerly
commander of the Department of
Texas, with-headquarters at Fort Sam
Houston; General Carpenter, General
Coppinger and many other regular army
officers, all of whom took a prominent
part in the late war, are well known in
this state. Major J. H. McLeary, of
San Antonio, is now mayor of the city
of Santiago, and F. H. Dignowity of
that city is the new collector of customs
at Ponce, Porto Rico. Taking all in all,
Texas and Texans, native born and
adopted sons, have achieved plenty of
distinction in this war.
In this connection it is interesting to
mention the fact that General Lawton
is now credited to Texas in his new bre-
veted rank. At the breaking out of the
war when President McKinley was
making appointments of brigadier
generals he decided upon the appoint-
ment of Lawton, who was then a
major in the regular army, to the rank
of brigadier general. Lawton is a na-
tive of Indiana, but has been out of
that state for over a quarter of a cen
tury, fighting Indians in the West and1
serving at frontier army posts. His
bravery was well known in military
circles. President McKinley thought
that it would he a nice compliment to
the people of Indiana to accredit Law-
ton to that state in appointing him
brigadier general. He wired Governor
Mount asking “how it would suit him
to have Lawton appointed brigadier
general from that state?” Governor
Mount and his political friends had de-
cided upon having a man named McKee
appointed to that position. When Pres -
ident McKinley’s telegram was received
Governor Mount handed it to one of his
political advisers. The latter read it
and then turned to the governor and
asked: “Who in the hell is Lawton?”
An army register was hunted up, and it
was found that he was an inspector
general, or something of that sort,
serving down in Texas. They decided
then and there that they did not want
Lawton appointed from Indiana, and
urged that McKee be named. The
president appointed McKee, and he goes
out of the service unheard of, except to
a small circle of politicians in Indiana.
Lawton goes down into history as one
of the great heroes of the war. The
people of Texas should he proud of him.

A farmer quoted by the Waterbury
American says of the caterpillar nui-
sance: “Every year I hear of cater-
pillars destroying whole orchards.
There is nothing so easy to dispose of.
I bore a hole in the tree deep enough to
reach the sap, fill the hole with sulphur
and plug it up. The sap takes the sul-
phur to every limb and twig, and the
caterpillars disappear at once. I have
used it for years.”
