object on which you have noth-
mg to say.
Steel Trust at Llano.
It is understood that the steel
trust has purchased all the avail-
able iron fields around Llano,
The purchases are said to have
been made through a subsidiary
agent or company at an average
price of about $1,000 per acre.
Already over a million dollars
have been expended there. The
fields in and about Llano are be-
lieved to be capable of producing
in an almost limitless supply, the
finest grade of ore to be found in
the world. While owned by the
United States Steel Company,
or the steel trust, these fields will
not likely be developed in the
immediate future. The iron
fields at Texas City have also
been purchased by this same
company, and as dock facilities
are available there, this field will
be developed first. Owing to the
lack of coking coal at Llano, it
is probable that no mills will be
established there, but all ore will
be taken to Texas City and from
there shipped by steamer to
Philadelphia, and to the mills at
Pittsburg. The Texas fields are
to be held in reserve for later
use. The land now owned by
the steel trust and which cost
about $1,000 per acre could have
been bought fifteen years ago for
$2 per acre.
The Llano iron ore is remark-
able in being free from sulphur
and phosphorus and is spoken of
as the best in the world. It is
necessary at the mills to mix the
other ores* the English with the
Spanish, and the Lake Superior
with the Rocky Mountain ores.
When operations begin, which is
not probable in the near future,,
they will be on a very large
scale. It is quite likely that the
purchases mentioned will meet
with denial, but it is believed by
steel men over the country.
Paul O. Stensland of Chicago,
the bank embezzler who has been
in hiding in Tangier, has been
returned to New York, and was
locked up at police headquarters.
It is stated that he will not plead
guilty to forgery, but will plead
guilty to certain other items in
the indictment and that the reve-
lations made will implicate
some of the best known finan-
ciers of Chicago.
The Ladies Aid Society of the
Baptist church will meet Thurs-
day afternoon at 3:30 o’clock
with Mrs. B. Armstrong at the
Central hotel. Lesson, John X,

ART IMPROVEDON NATURE
Object Lesson Far More Eloquent
Than the Thunderings of the
Energetic Lecturer.
“Gentlemen,” thundered the
energetic lecturer, “we live id
pessimistic times. Our leading
politicians, our pulpit orators,
our great philosophers, our
poets and, worst of all, our nov-
elists, delight to picture life as
a hideous nightmare, a crooked
dream, a thing not worth the
misery expended in enduring, a
low scramble for human suprem-
acy, or as an ignoble failure at
best. And, gentlemen, are they
right? Is it, indeed, so? Are
we really sinking in the scale
of civilization? Nature is na-
ture, and we are her children;
nature is good and wise and
beautiful aud true; nature en-
nobles us and makes us free
from gujle and deceit!”
Here there was a stir in the
audience.
“Hold on, guv’nor. Look
here!” shouted a man who had
been intently listening. “This is
my wig, and these my false
teeth, and this my glass eye.
What about them, eh? What
sort of a fright would I be with-
out them? They lick nature all
to pieces, I can tell you. You
hold on a bit!”
NERVE.
“The great requisite for play-
ing cards or the horses,” re-
marked Mr. Everwise, “is nerve.”
“Yes,” answered young Miss
Torkins, “it must take a great
deal of nerve to enable a man to
come home so often and tell hrs
folks that still further economy
will be necessary.”
BOLD MAN.
“Just one,” said Mr. Nervey,
and, leaning forward, he kissed
her.
“Sir!” she cried, “you forget
yourself!” ■
“That’s so. That one was1 for
you,” he said, and, leaping for-
ward again he annexed another.
“One more for me.”
Judge Walter Acker is spend-
ing a few days in Houston on
business.
J. M. Wilhite and family and
Mrs. Hollis, of Lometa, are here
for a visit in the city.
Dr. M. L. Brown of Goldth-
Waite spent a time here this week
mingling with the medical frater-
nity and greeting old friends.
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Moore are
visiting their daughter, Mrs.
Chas. Fisher of Burnet, this

How
People
Lose
Their
Money:
■ 1 [to ■ l‘f
By concealing it about their per-
son ; by stowing it away in mugs,
jugs and jars; by sewing it up in
skirts and ticks; by tucking it
under the couches and carpets, in
cupboards and bureau drawers;
these are some of the ways by
which people lose their money,
and sometimes their lives.
