GOMDITT CASE.
Edna,oTexas, October 8.—Dis-
trict court convened for the term
this afternoon, and the grand jury
was sworned in. Embodied in the
charge of the court were instruc-
tions to look into and clasely in-
vestigate the murder of the Conditt
family in September of last year.
The jury vill begin investigat-
ing the eyidence against Felix
Powell, Henry Howard and Au
gusta Diggs tomorrow.
It is belieyed that indictments
will be returned immediately up-
on the evidence that hag been se-
cured by Sheriff Egg and Banger
Captain William McDonald and
that the case against Felix Powell
and Howard will be set for an ear-
ly hearing during this term of the
court. There is no doubt but that
the case against Powell will come
up for trial within the nnxt few-
days, but hardly before next week.
It will require some lime to secure
a jury. There is a belief that in-
asmuch as the evidence against
Howard will bfl the same as against
Powell that his case will not be
heard this term.
Powell is still confined to the
dark cell and chained down to the
iron floor in such a position that
he can not stand op. A number
of times he has broken his shackles
and made trouble for the officeis,
and it appears that it is his desire
to ''sell out". However, the of-
ficers have handled him very care-
fully. While they do not desire to
risk their own lives, they care for
the life of this negro almost next
to their own, and hope to see him
tried and convicted by i court and
finally executed, averring that
they hafve sufficient evidence
ag&iust him to hang him.
For the past several months Po-
well has been on the verge of tell-
ing what he knows, but can never
bring himself to the point. Dozens
of times he has sent for Captain
McDonald, intimating that he was
ready to unburden himself, and
when that officer would reach him
he would begin talking about the
case, but always wound up in the
same manner, that of wringing bis
hands and say "Captain, it is just
too awful; I can't tell it."
Powell dees not koow -that Ho
ward and the Diggs woman are
under arrest, and feels that he is
bearing the whole load for the kill-
ing of the Conditt family,often mak
jng the remark that he "Don't see
why they keep him cooped up
while others who are more guilty
are allowed to go free.

It is today just as essential for you
to have a knowledge of ac-
counts, of how to use the type-
writer, draw up contracts, use the
various commercial papers, how
goods are bought and sold, shipped
etc. as it is for you to know how
to spell or to write.. The great
majority of commercial schools
only teach the theory of Bookkeep-
ing, they give no business training
or practical work, they prepare
yuu ouly to accept the easy cheap
stenographic positions, while the
Tyler Com'l. College of Tyler,
Texas, goeB far beyond this and
giyes a cours9 of Bookkeeping,

MARSHALL B. O'BAR.
•
LaGrange, Oct. 5.—Died, Wed-
nesday night, at his home in War-
ranton, this county, Marshall B
O'Bar, aged 62 years and 10
months. He is survived bv three
children, Dr. Johu 0'B.ir of St.
Louis. Mo,; Miss Emma of War-
ranton and Dr. Oliyer O'Bar of St. j love between a section
Louis. Mr O'Bar was in the
section for toads to carry on the
war. Or be might declare a sym-
pathetic strike with bimself and
demand a raise. The scriptural
advice as to duplicate masters
touches him not, for they had no
railroad work in scriptural times,
and as to loving the one and de-
spising the other, the amount of
hand and
his boss is proverbial; while on

priyate in Cook's Regiment, and
was promoted during the war to
a First Ljeutenantcy.
The deceased was a man of very
kind and retiring disposition, al-
ways having a kind work for every
one. He was well known here and
his death is mourned by a. very-
wide circle of friends in this county
His remains were taken to Rusk,

beloved wife, who preceded bim

what his thoughts are pertaining
to him, he would probably be In-
vited to give an encore, the invita-
tion being in the form of a fishplate
applied just abaft the left ear.
Tne position of this one man la-
bor union is remarkable, not to
say unique, but lor that matter, so
is that of the railroad whose two
sections he works.—Bx
Many a man i.< todwy legretting
that he turnal his bicfc on tiie op-
portunities of a life time when he
was young; he at one time had an
opportunity to secure a practical
business educatian that enable him
to accept many of the thousands of
lucrative positions that are now
being filled by the follow who em-
braces the opportunity. Young
friend, you are living in a commyr-
jCial age, the day is gone whei the
poet, the musician, the artist was
*'il". You must make your suc-
cess or failure against the strongest
competition the world has ever
known; you will be thrown with
thoroughly trained practical busi-
ness men, men who nave studied
commercialism from a scientific
.standpoint. Your father or great
grandfather perhaps has made a
great success without having at-
tended a business college, or per-
haps any other kind of school, but
•the business world has advanced
tjnee they made their start; con-
ditions haye completely changed.

"Madame," began the agent, as Mrs.
Short opened the door, "you have a
piano?"
"Yes?" she answered.
"Well," he continued, "I am Intro-
ducing a new automatic attachment
for pianos, and if you "
"Don't want it," interrupted Mrs. 8.
"Our piano has a sheriff's attachment,
and I guess that will hold it for
awhile."—Chicago News.

"It takes great force of character,"
said the philosopher, "to preserve a
contented and unflinching mind de-
spite the storms of criticism which r.re
rained about every man who is in-
trusted with public responsibilities."
"You'd admire our fanitor." answer-
ed the man who lives ir. a flat.
Probably no better illustration of
the existing -hortageof labor could
be bad than that illusration em-
bodied in a recent report from
Palestine, where is stated that two
section foremen on a railroad sys-
tem have one section hand between
them, It is accordingly believed
that things ara not nice tor the rail-
road and somewhat difficult for the
section foremen. The feelings of
the lone section hand are not
speculated upon, section hands
having no feeli ngs. It takes little
stretch of imagination to behold
two empurpled section foremen
vigorously expounding a difference
of yiews as to where their section
hand shall work, and what he
| shall do while he is resting. The
logic is eaily seen in the proposi-
tion that if one man be two section
gangs he should eat enough for
two section gangs in the boarding
car and demand pay for the work
of two gangs or go on a strike all by
his lonesome that would complete-
ly tie up and paralyze work on
two sections of a great railway
system. He might even go on a
strike

John Adams was up from the
lower country ranch this week
and his face was still pallid from a
terrible experience that befell him
the previous week. It is well
known that an old time pumpkin
vine can outgrow anything in crea-
tion, and Mr. Adams has forcibly
realized it. He has found it neces-
sary to haul water for a distance of
a few miles recently owing to the
drouthy conditions, and his road
took bim by a field where some
pumpkins were planted. A pump-
kin vine will run like a jack rabbit
if it smells water, especially when
rain is badly needed. The first trip
John made by the pumkin patch
the vine smelled the water, crept
the barb wire fence and started for
him. He knew that if the tendrils
got wrapped around the wagon
wheels it was all off for that trip,
so he whipped up his hordes and
managed to elude the yine. The
next trip the vine was bigger and
faster than ever and it was ouly by
a fast run and a swift turn of a cor-
ner that he azain escaped. The
third trip the vine lay in wait for
him and as be appeared with his
water wagon it made the sand fly
as it sped along in his wake. He
whipped up his horses, but the
vine kept gaining, and it seemed
as if he was caught at last. As it
traveled it sprouted along the trail,
looking fir all the world like a
gigantic serpent. But John say?
luckily there was one thing saved
him; the pumpkins ripened so fast
they finally held the vine back,
and then it gave up the chase and
threw dumpkins at him as long as
°u one section and waa jQ sight.—Halletsville Her-
himself on th« other aid.
The District Court room was well
filled Tuesday night to hear Con-
gressman Geo. F. Burgess discus8
the political issues. He began by
reviewing the history of the or-
ganization of our goverament, The
national growth of parties and how
it is impossible to have govern-
ment without political parties; he*
contrasted the principals advocated
by the Democratic and Republican
parties, showing what they both
stand for; he showed that the In-
dependent in politics stood for no-
thing and illustrated that if the
Independent is correct in his posi-
tion and every man should become
independent, what would become
of the government. He then paid
bis respects to Socialism and in
unanswerable argument, explained
the fallacy of this doctorine, its
impracticability and its dangers to
both society and religion; showed
how it is opposed to ail forms of
good government, to human na-
ture, to society in general and to
religion. His aigument along this
line was most convincing and so
clear cut and plain, that every
man, woman and child inthe audi-
ence, could not fail to understand
it. It was in fact one of the
strongest speeches delivered in this
town in many a day, and it i9 to
be regretted that not more of the
people living in the county could be
present to hear it. He said that he
could not and would not vote for
Socialist for any office anil that
while he is & Democrat, that as be
tween a Republican candidate and
and a Socialist candidate, he would
most emphatically vote for the
Republican candidate, because
both Repuqlicans and Democrats
believe in Representative form of
government and recognize prop- !
erty rights and belieye in the pro-
tection of such lights while the So
cialist does not believe inproperty
rights. Mr. Burgess spoke for '
nearly two hours and during the
whole time, the large audience
gave him their undivided attention
He urged all citizens to get in the
middle of the road and align them
selves with some party, berepubli-
can, Democrat or socialist and to

vote the ticket of their politics; he
asked them to not be ashamed to
get in line with their party. At
the close of bis speech, Judge
Meitzen arose to a matter of per-
sonal priyilage, as he call it, He
said only a few words, claiming
that he was the nominee of the
White Man's Primary; he stated
that he was a Socialist. He was
asked by Mr. Burgess if he intend-
ed to vote for the Socialist candi«
dates in Lavaca county, and he
answered that he intended to vote
for every candidate on the ticket
in this county.
There is no doubt that Mr. Bur-
gess speech has done a great deal of
good among the luke-warm in our
county. It is believed that at the
comii.g election in Noyember, ev-
ery man will align himseit with
some party.—Halletsville Herald.
