Fire destroyed the principal
business portion of Mart, McLen
nan county, Monday night. John
V/. Day was the heaviest loser,
his loss being reported at about
$•>0,000.
The death of Miles S. Bennett,
o 'De Witt countjr, is reported,
lie was a veteran of San Jacinto
battle, and was in attendance on
the annual re-union of the Mex-
ican war veterans held at this
place last year.
The Texas and Pacific Railway
will run eight special trains of
ten coaches each through from
Texas points to New Orleans on
account of the Confederate Re-
union. Other Texas roads will
also haul their part of these grey
haired heroes, and New Orleans
will be taxed to its utmost to en-
tertain them.
From a positive denial that he
v/'.fculd be a candidate for the
presidency, Mr. Grover Cleveland
i;: now said to be in the hands of
his friends, and his name is fre-
on ently mentioned as a possible
candidate for the high office which
he filled one term for the demo-
crats and again for the republi-
cans, but it is not stated on which
ticket he will announce the next
time.
The salaries of all telegraphers
in the employ of the Santa Be
Railway have been raised. Now
the people may expect a raise in
rates for messages.
The largest award for damages
ever made in Texas has just been
confirmed by the supreme court.
The case was that of J. W. Shel-
don, of Dallas, and the amount
of damages -was $35,000. The
suit was against the Santa Fe,
and was for the loss of both legs.
President Roosevelt continues
to swing around the circle, stop-
ping at prominent points to re-
ceive the applause and congrat-
ulation of the people. He spent
Sun day in a small town in Kan -
sas, and has since visited various
points in the western states.
James B. Marcum, a prom-
inent lawyer of Lexington, Ken-
tucky, was shot on the inside of
the courthouse Monday. It is a
cold day when Kentucky cannot
record a killing, and they are
frequently like this, only assas-
sinations. It is now proven that
Gov. Taylor ordered the lamented
Goebel to be shot, and possibly
some of the guilty ones will be
punished. Kentucky is noted for
its blue-grass, its whisky and its
feuds.
The Houston Post predicts that
within two years there will be
ocean-going vessels anchored at
Harrisburg, a suburb of Houston.
Harrisburg is on Buffalo Bayou,
six miles south of Houston. ' iness; this is yours.

The M., K. & T. Railway has
been completed from Granger to
Georgetown, and trains are run-
ning regularly. Time has been
extended for the completion of
this line to Austin, the citizens
committee giving the railroad un-
til April 1st, 1904, to complete the
work. The original contract
called for the road to be complet-
ed to Austin by November 1st of
this year.
The Texas Press Association
will meet at Waxahachie May 21.
After the business of the meeting
is concluded the editors will make
an excursion over eastern Texas,
taking in the sections devoted to
jurtuiib, vegetables and diversified
crops. The journey will end at
Houston about the 28th, and then
they will return to their homes
and advertise what they have
seen to the world. Texas is a
great state, and has a weekly
press superior to any of a like
state in the world, and dailies
that would do honor to cities with
three times the population where
they are published. Texas ex-
ceeds in all things, and has not
half reached her zenith of success.
An explosion occurred in a fac-
tory where explosive toys were
manufactured at Cleveland, Ohio,
Saturday, and the result was
three killed and some seventy-
five wounded, beside the destruc-
tion of the builing. It is frequent-
ly the case that such toys cause
injury to those who use them,
and it would be good for a law to
be passed to absolutely prohibit
their manufacture, sale and use.
Most cities pass special ordi-
nances against the use of such
fireworks and explosives, espe-
cially during the holidays, but
they are almost universally vio-
lated, and disaster is always the
result.
The cattle shipping season from
the west to the Territory is about
over, and soon the extra trains
■will .be heard no more. One rea-
son why the stock on this branch
was handled so effectively and
satisfactorily this year was that a
special trainmaster was stationed
at San Angelo during the entire
time the rush was on, and every-
thing on the road was put aside
when a stock train started in the
direction of Temple. Passenger
trains had no more right than a
freight that had lost its rights.
The stockmen are in a glee over
their success in getting quick
service and rapid transportation
for their stock, and the passen-
gers will be served so well in the
future that they will forever for-
get that they were ever delayed
by stock.
The extraordinary session of
the legislature adjourned Friday,
or Saturday, just as you may
choose to reckon time. From the
closing scenes one would con-
clude that it was probably the
worst legislature that ever as-
sembled in Texas. The house of
representatives in Texas should
be reduced in numbers to less
than half its present roll, and the
senate should consist of not more
than half the present member-
ship. The pay should be an an-
nual salary, and should be suffi-
cient to induce the best men to
cent Southern Pacific merger bill,

terest to railroads and the public,

Bonds Tor Koad Improvement.
In spite of bad roads, proposals look-
ing to an increase of taxes for road pur-
poses do not seem to find favor. Sev-
eral counties have eeld elections re-
cently for that purpose, resulting in a
defeat of the tax.—Terrell Transcript.
The reasoa the people vote down a
proposition to issue bonds for the im-
provement of the roads is, simply, that
they lack confidence in the equal, fair
and economical application of the funds
which are realized from the bonds and
taxes. T: ere are perhaps very few
counties in the state which would not
vote for any proposition which would
assure them good roads. But when the
matter is not gone into any further than
the accumulation of money for road
building purposes, and no provision is
made as to the way the money shall be
spant, tho people object to the raising
of the funds. The reason of this is that
heretofore the roads have not been
worked with an eye to economy and
permanence. Millions of dollars in
money and labor have been expended
on the roads in the state, and millions
of dollars have been washed away by
the first rains. That is why the people
of Texas have so little confidence in the
proposition to make good roads from
taxation, or in any other way.—Dallas
News.
The News is undoubtedly cor-
rect in the above comments. The
people earnestly desire good

Two Felony Indictments.
Special to The Statesman.]
Burnet, May 4.—The town is
crowded this morning with wit-
nesses and jurors for district
court. The grand jury, which
has been in session two weeks,
has returned two felony indict-
ments in connection with the fail-
ure of the bank here, which sus-
pended in Eebruary, 1902. These
cases will be called this week,
and there will be a strong array
of legal talent on both sides. The
people over the county are much
interested in these cases, and it
is expected that large crowds will
be in attendance. This is the first
time the failure of the bank has
been in court, and the people are
expecting it to be sifted to the
fair and economical application
of the funds realized from the
bonds and taxation.” Assured
of this, they will cheerfully vote
for a bond issue for road im-
provement. Until such a system
is perfected itjwould perhaps, be
better to permit the counties to
utilize the service of the short
term convicts in improving the
condition of county roads.
The Illinois Humane Society in its
annual report shows that ten cases per
day are on the average investigated.
Three children per day are aided. Three
prosecutions per week are undertaken,
the cases of cruelty to animals that are
investigated number fifteen per day.
