The erection of a fine school
building here is talked of in some
circles. This would be a great
thing for Weimar, especially if all
elements could be induced to con-
contrate on one school. There
should not be any necessity to send
a single boy or girl to some other
place to receive the finishing touch-
es of an education. All this could
be done right at home. It is in
the power of Weimar to have as
good an institution of learning,
with just as thorough and exhaust-
course in ail the different
including the various
usually taught in this
as exists in this or any
state. But it would take

They Camped on His Trail.
Fayetteville, Texas, Feb. 6.—Gov.
Sayers has now made all of his many
appointments to offices and places
which were within his power to give,
and it is now time to look back upon
and to consider the great scramble there
was to obtain places from him.
Wherever he was or went he was fol-
lowed, and the hotels were nearly
crowded with the hungry, greedy crowd,
and he was deluged witWi thousands gpf
letters from applicants and their friends
for office and places, and he could not,
I judge, walk a street in peace. And
some of them, and perhaps all, if they
could not get the places asked, were will-
ing to take some other.
The scramble was shameful, disgrace-
ful and disgusting.
And what we have seen in Texas is as
a gentle zephyr to a tornado compared
with federal office and place seekers.
Patriots may well pause and ask
themselves what is to become of our
beloved country when they see that
brass (nersistency in pushing forward
for office) and not merit gains the places
and offices, as the general rule, with ex-
ceptions, of course. Merit has retired,
disgusted with the prevailing methods,
and brass boldly claims merit and suc-
cess. I see far ahead, that unless this
system is put down by the people, it
will ruin our country. The office should
seek the man, and not the man the of-
fice, and the people should say to brass:
Stand out of our way untH we need
you, and then we will call you." If our
republic should ever be destroyed, it
will be written of iu "It was ruined by
the office and place seekers."—"Sharp
Rasp" in Houston Post.

To all those afflicted with rheu-
tatism we recommend a trial of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. One
application will relieve the pain
and its continued use for a short
time will result in a cure. The 25
and 50 cent sizes are for sale by
Paul Breymann.
E. Kubens and family took their de-
parture Thursday night last for Mr.
Kuben's old home across the Atlantic,
Berlin, Germany. Mr. and Mrs. Kubens
and their daughter, Miss Annie^ have
many friends in and around Flatonia
who will greatly miss them, and who
with^reluctance gave them up, though at
the same time wishing them a pleasant
and profitable voyage across "the deep
blue seal" Mr. Kubens has ibeen con-
nected with the business interests of
Flatonia for many years, ever ready to
assist in any laudable undertaking; a
friend to the poor and needy, and gen-
erous to a fault. May success and hap-
piness attend this family wherever they
cast their lot, is the ardent wish of lhe
Argus.—Flotonia Aigus.
The Corse of Familiarity.
In their strife for mental equality with
men, women have unintentionally
broken down a fine reserve of manner
which previously lent them an air of
mystery, of superiority, in the best sense,
than which no element is more success-
ful in holding a man's interest, love and
respect The young woman who greets
a man friend with "Hello, old man!" or
its equivolant in modern slang, might in
return be called "a peach," but she
would be a peach with the bloom rubbed
off.
Every day I become more coovinced
that at the root of the increasing evi-
dences of widespread marital unhappi-
ness would be found the familiarity
that breeds contempt. When a boy
climbs a tree for green apples or cher-
ries, whichever he prefers, he c onstautly
sees a better one higher up beyond his
reach, until he nearly breaks his neck
to get the one out of his stretxh, partly
hidden by foliage. And so man's ideal
woman hangs at the tip^top of the tree
of knowledge. If the idea] drops into
his hands he throws it to the ground as
worthless and begins to climb again.
Would it be reasonable to think, after
working so hard for cherries, that he
would value them long if he ate a surfeit
of them.—Ladies' Home Journal.
No other medicine builds up
and fortifies the system against
miscarriage aa well as Simmons'
Squaw Vine Wine or Tablets.
The Terrell Times-Star contains the
following prediction: "The girl who
gives away to a desire to gad about the
streets and cultivate the acquaintance
of young men, and acting the simpering
simpleton, is laying the foundation for a
useless after life. Ten to one after she
is married she will develop into a slat-
ternly gossip, if no greater misfortune
befalls her. It is the girl of good sound
sense, the girl that loves home and
helps her mother, that wins the model
husband and becomes an ornament to
womanhood. The girl that does this
and devotes some of her time to read-
ing, tries to win the esteem of every-
body, while the gadding street ornament
wins only the admiration of those whose
admiration is not worth having."
Where Is Dr. Keeler?
Some time ago in December. Mice
came to our town a man with suave
manners, fine raiment and French-crop
beard, and h'e heralded the coming of
two of the state's famous doctors of
toothology, Drs. Keeler and Jones, "of
Dallas." The Keeler end of the con-
cern remained here and proclaimed his
skill through the columns of the local
papers. Toothless men and women
went to the doctor for aid, while those
whose molars were infested with the boll-
weevil sought him foi relief. And there
was no question of the doctor's ability.
Some few overconfident ones even paid
the doctor in advance for work not fin-
ished. And thereby hangs a tale! The
Jones end of the concern failed to mate-
rialize, and we suppose the Keeler end
became lonely and went back to seek
his partner. At any rate, Dr. Keeler is
gone, gone nevet to return. He left as
silently as the proverbial Arab. And
thereby hangs another tale—of unpaid
bills. When we say unpaid bills we
speak only for the local newspapers. Dr.
Keeler left here saying he would go to
Eagle Lake for a week. "But he never
came back!" and those whom he owes
money and those who paid him in ad-
vance feel that they are the victinj-of
misplaced confidence. Moral: Beware
of strangers!—Halletsville Herald.
And still there are people who will
fioqk to a stranger when probably thev
owe their old true and tried friends who
have stood by them in the hour of need.

Predicts the End of the World.
St. Louis, Mo., dispatch to Chicago
Inter Ocean:
George Baeckler, a Swede, living at
No. 5126 San Francisco avenue, has
branched out as a prophet, causing
alarm among women and children of
his neighborhood by his direful read-
ings of the future.
Baeikler was a bank clerk in Stock-
holm, but has been a resident of this
country some eleven years. Two
months ago he became imbued with the
belief that he had been invested with a
message from the Lord, proving his
claim by reading from Malachi. chap-
ter 4, verse 5, which he interpreted to
mean that he was the prophet Elijah,
who was ordered back to earth to pre-
pare erring mortals for that day when
the heavens were to be rolled back as a
scroll.
Baeckler recently said: "I am the spirit
in the form of a man that the prophet
spoke of. Eight years ago I got my
first intimation in a dream. I foresaw
then the Spanish-American war, but
fought it off; my faith was weak. I
made a mistake, but henceforth will
speak as the Lord directs.
"I can see that the end of the world
is not many years off, but not now can
the exact time be asceitained. The be-
lief of writers that the ending will be
terrible is a mistake. The last day will
see the whole world at peace, with but
one religion, and this faith will be dif-
ferent from any now existing. It will
be the outcome of a terrible fiight be-
tween England and Russia. America
will intercede, and Russia and England
will fall to us.
"There will then be general wars, and
the panorama of events will iuclude a
sovereign for France, whose rule will be
brief. There will be a revolution in
France immediately after the big fair in
1900, and the end of it will be that
America will rule the world.
"This country the Lord has destined
to lead the whole world into this new
faith, which will know no sect^. There
will be only one heed, and he will not
be visible until the last day is near. The
return of Jesus Christ will occur in this
country."
Baeckler is sincere and a firm believer
in his gift of prophecy. His positive-
ness and the life he leads have im-
pressed his neighbors with a great deal
of his own zeal.
J, S. Hamilton, Milliard, Texas,
writes: I never failed to cure bil-
iousness, constipation and indiges-
tion in from two to five days with
Dr. M. A. Simmons' Liver Medi-
cine, and judging from results 1
think it 75 per cent, stronger than
the Thedford's black draught I
have used.
A class in granfmar was reciting,
and one of the younger boys was
asked to compare "sick." He be-
gan thoughtfully: "Sick"—paused
while his brain struggled with the
problem—then finished trium-
phantly, "Sick, worse, dead."

deal in common.

Cattle Drowned.
Waco, Texas, Feb. 18.—Ben Little-
son, a Hill county cattleman, suffered
loss by a remarkable accident at his
Mount Calm pen, where he was feeding
a lot of fine steers and had them fat
enough to ship. Close to the feeding
pen is a large tank for watering the
cattle. During the recent terrible spell
of cold weather the tank became a
sheet of ice from one bank to the other.
The cattle became thirsty and rushed
out to the middle of the tank on the
ice, which yielded, and forty-four head
perished by drowning, the water at the
point of the break in the ice being ten
feet deep. The sight of the cattle
drowning and struggling in the cold
water will be long remembered at
Mount Calm. It was an accident with-
out a parallel in Texas.
It is not the safest to run behind
the wall. Walls have been known
to fail.
To protect yoursell and family
against coughs and colds, you shou-
ld keep at band a bottle of Cham-
berlain's Cough Remedy. It will
cure a cold in a day if taken as
soon as the first symptoms appear.
