We learn that our old. friend
sad fellow townsman, J. P. Cur-
m, is putting on “Mrs. Wiggs
of the Cabbage Patch” at Port
Lavaca for the benefit of the
Methodist church. He is also
patting up scenery and decorat-
ing the opera house at that plaoe.
Mr. Curran could hardly have
selected a better or more enter-
taining play than this one for
such a purpose. .He is an ex-
cellent actor and one of the old
echool which is fast being sup-
planted by the minstrel show
coon and the comic opera. We
need a few more men like “Dad’’
Gurran on the American stage.

“The Jungle,” by Upton Sin-
clair, is characterized as the un-
forgettable novel of the season.
It is a story of the iniquity of the
packing houses and is of a dis-
tinct socialistic tendency. The
story is one of continuous horror
and a constant repetition of re-
volting and terrible scenes. It
is not a book for popular reading.
It is not a book to be brought
into the family circle; but, it is a
book that should command the
serious and thinking consider-
ation of every thoughtful man.
The book is published by Double-
day Page & Co., a reputable firm,
and it is stated on good authority
that before the publication of this
work, they secured the services
of a first-class attorney who made
a careful investigation of the mat-
ter and reported that the facts
were substantially correct and
free from exaggeration. Yet to
the average mind, the events
which are chronicled here
and the conditions which exist
in the great packing houses
are so perverted and terrible to
be beyond belief. The filth, the
diseased animals, the careless-
ness, the utilizing of all waste
material in preparing foods, the
social corruption among the em-
ployees, all this is woven about
and incorporated in the story of
the ruin and fall of an honest but
ignorant foreign family. The
solution of the problem is not so-
cialism which is irrational and
unfounded on anything practical
and in keeping with human nat-
ure. The only solution of the
problem of the suppression of the
crime of the great corporations
is in the hands of the
great mass of common people,
the loyal and sturdy American
voters. When they realize and
use their power, corrupt law mak-
ers and the corrupting corpora-
tion lobbies will be swept from
the place of power and the peo-
ple will resume their true place
as the rulers of the republic. It
is such books as this that enlight
en and stir up thinking people to
learn of the true condition of af-
fairs and having learned of them,
to find a remedy.
San Antonio Carnival.
San Antonio’s Annual Carni-
val and week of merrymaking,
celebrating the battle of San Ja-
cinto is to take place this year,
beginning April 16, and conclud-
ing April 21.
Preparations are being made
on a larger scale than ever be-
fore. The Knights of Omala
Masquerade Carnival and Night
Parade will be the opening feat
ure. The further program in
eludes a four day’s meeting of
the State German Societies’ An-
nual Saengerfest, the Annual
Trades Display by the Merchants
and Manufacturers, Baby car-
riage parade, fireworks display,
wild west exhibitions, brilliant
electric illumination of the entire
city. Free concerts, twenty big
tent shows, concluding with the
grand annual patriotic celebra-
tion and society spectacle, the
Battle of Flowers.
A number of young people
went out to the residence of Mr.
and Mrs. Clyde Northington Fri-
day night and enjoyed themselves
for several hours. While it was
in the nature of a surprise party,
Mr. and Mrs. Northington were
glad to see them and treated them
royally.

The State of Texas, to the Sheriff or ?
any Constable of Lampasas County,
Greeting:
Oath having been made as required
by law, yon are hereby commanded to
summon the unknown heirs of John
Hasmann, deceased, by making publi-
cation of this citation.once in each week
for eight successive weeks previous to
Jhe return day hereof, in some newspa-
per published in your county, if there
be a newspaper published therein, but:
if not, than in any newspaper published
in the 27th Judicial District: but it
there be no newspaper published in said
Judicial District, then in a newspaper
published in the nearest district to said
27th Judicial District, to appear at the
next regular term of the district court
of Lampasas county, to be holden at the
courthouse thereof, in Lampasas, on
the first Monday in April, A. D. 1906,
the same being tha 2nd day of April, A.
D. 1906, then and there to answer a pe-
tition filed in said court on the 31st day
of January, A. D. 1906, in a suit, num
bered on the docket of said court No.
2648, wherein Ben P. Converse and Mrs.
H M. Davis as executor and executrix
of the estate of James Converse are
plaintiffs, and the unknown heirs of
John Hasmann are defendants, and said
petition alleging that on January 1,
1906, plaintiffs were lawfully seized
and possessed of the John Hasmann sur-
vey of 1280 acres situated in Lampasas
county, Texas, said land being fully de-
scribed by metes and bounds in plaint-
iffs’ original petition now on file in my
office.
That on said last named date defend-
ants unlawfully entered upon said
premises and ejected plaintiffs there-
from and now unlawfully withhold from
plaintiffs the possession thereof to
plaintiffs’ damage in the sum of $4000:
that defendants claim to said land casts
a cloud on plaintiffs’ title. Plaintiffs
claim said land under deed duly regis-
tered and peaceable, continuous and ad-
verse possession for more than five years
next prior to January 1, 1906, and pleads
the five years’ statute of limitation.
Plaintiffs pray for citation to said de-
fendants for judgment for title and pos-
session to said premises and that their
title be quieted, and for damages and
costs of suit and general relief.
Herein fail not, but have before said
court, at its aforesaid next regular
term, this .writ, with your return there-
on, showing how yon have executed the
same.
Witness, A. F. Baker, clerk of the
District Court of Lampasas county.
Given under my hand and the seal of
said court, at office in Lampasas, this
the 1st day of February, A. D., 1906.
A. F. Baker, Clerk,
Diet. Court, Lampasas County.
A true copy I certify.
