making this part of the world a ^er ca^‘

are prompted to renewed efforts
by the -victories which have been
recorded in our favor and by the
great tasks that yet lie Defore us
and which we shall strive to ful-

‘ ‘My honest conviction, based upon my
own experience and than of my friends,
is that ‘Hunts Cure’ will cure a larger
per cent of skin troubles, especially of
an itching variety, than any other rem -

Certainly this special form of
Sabbath desecration can have but
little to be said in its favor, as
however, opinions may differ on
general topics, we are all alike
bound to observe the moral law7:
“Remember the Sabbath day, to
keep it holy.”
Some time ago prohibition went
into effect in Lampasas, and as
“prohibition kills a town” of
course
to her ashes! Who so profane as
to disturb her sacred dust! But
please tell us the meaning of
these beautiful new residences
rising up over this dead city Ex-
plain to us the marvel of this lack
of dwelling-houses for the people
who are coming to us from near
and far. Unravel for us the mys-
tery of this new and prosperous
banking house that *has been
established in our midst; and have
we dreamed, or is it true that a
magnificent new hotel will soon
be under process of construction?
The cotton crop is not an un-
qualified success this year, and
prices have been known to be
higher. Perhaps our prosperity
is to be attributed to the three
clubs which have taken the place
of the five open saloons with
which our city was formerly
adorned; but in that case why
didn’t we have the clubs long ago?
Though the clubs do not exactly
meet with our unqualified ap-
proval, they are certainly far less
obnoxious and aggressive than
the open saloons of the past.
Anything to hasten the day when
the products of our farms and
ranches will be returned to them
in substantial benefits, pleasant
homes, food and clothing, books
and music, peace and happiness
instead of the elements of hun-
ger, rags, miseiy and despair.
Since we last wrote, Lamar,
Coryell and Limestone counties
have wheeled into line with splen-
did majorities to their credit; and
the last chapters of this Book of
the Dead are not yet written.
And while we are recording vic-
tories. here is a little item that
ought to interest every citizen of
Texas. It is a statement made by
Vice-President and General Sup-
erintendent H. M. Fickinger of
the Frisco system in Texas:
ma, Mrs. W. A. Brown, wife of
the Santa Fe agent, and Grand-
pa Brown is just as happy as the
grand-ma, but he makes it ap-
pear that he is not specially in-
terested in the little fellow.

There was a much larger crowd
than usual at the Christian En-
deavor meeting Sunday after-
noon, and the interest seems to
be increasing all the time. The
promoters of this society here are
much encouraged in their effort
to make it a success among the
young people.

improvements upon some of her
Third Street property, tearing
away some of the old awnings
and building new ones. She be-

The Game Modified.
Inasmuch as it is proposed to
organize and maintain a foot ball
team at Lampasas this fall and
winter, it may be well to remark
that the rules have been changed
so as to leave out the principal
features of brutality, which have
heretofore characterized this win-
ter game, and the rules have been
so modified that it is no longer
saidto~be dangerous, and that
people can witness the game
without fear o'f seeing men killed
outright, or bruised without pity.
Here is what is said by leading
papers of the.change in the rules:
With the opening of the 1904
football season close at hand, the
thousands of enthusiasts the
country over are interested to
know what changes will result
from the amended rules which
govern this greatest of college
sports.
Nearly every change which has
been made in recent years has
been primarily to eliminate rough-
ness from the game and to spike
the guns of thosk critics who re-
fuse to see anything beneficial in
a sport which they claim leaves
in its wake broken bones,
wrenched muscles, shattered
nerves and failures in the class
room.
When the rules committee as-
sembled in 1903, the members
decided that the principal defect
in the code was that it permitted
“massed” formations of all kinds
to the injury of the players.
If they could eliminate “mass”
formations, they argued, they
would not only reduce the possi-
bility of danger, but they would
at the same time make the game
more open and make it appeal to
the spectators.
Tom Stewart, of Comanche;
passed through here this week on
his return from a visit to relatives
in the neighborhood of Luling
and San Antonio. When some
five miles beyond Cedar Park in
Travis county, he saw some
strange reptile apparently play-
ing in the road, and getting out
of his wagon he succeeded in
capturing it. He had it in a ci-
gar box and was exhibiting it
here. It looks much like the
picture of the Gila Monster, but
may be only an overgrown moun-
tain lizard. It has a forked
tppgue, a diamond shaped head,
a short thick body and a pointed
tail, and its general appearance
would indicate that it is poison-
ous. The entire length of the
reptile is about 9 inches, and it
seemed to be sluggish, but not
very much afraid of the presence
of human beings. Four short
legs, much like those of the liz-
ard, furnish means of locomotion,
and it looked as if it could run
rapidly. He took the reptile along
with him.
