Joseph W. Folk, the boodle
prosecutor, has won his fight for
the Democratic Gubernatorial
nomination in Missouri. He had
the strong opposition of the en-
tire State machine which has con-
trolled all elections in Missouri
for many years.
Candidates are "still" hunting
in every precinct. That seems to
be their favorite methrvi of con-
quest this year. But when crops
are laid by they will be expected
to rally in a body, and, individ-
ully, "speak out" publicly on the
issues of tbe dav.
The question of permanent
headquarters for the Texas Wo-
man's Christian Temperance Un-
ion was sprung at the State meet-
ing in Wills Point yesterday. Com-
mittees were appointed to look af-
ter the matter. They will ask for
$10,000 and a canvass will be
made at once.
Mr. Greenberry Adams has be-
come identified with the McKin-
ney Daily Courier. Mr. Adams
is new in the journalistic field,
but has been successful in other
lines, and is a man of ability.
We trust he will rapidly rise in
bis profession.—Sherman Regis-
ter.
The celebruted Hayden-Cran-
fnl case has been reversed and re-
manded for a new trial "on ac-
count of the error of the court in
admitting the testimony of one
Dr Tanner as to the declarations
of one Maxwell." A Jury trial
resulted in a verdict and judg-
ment in favor of the plaintiff
against the defendants named for
$10,000 actual damages and $5000
exemplary damages.
Captain W J McDonald, the

mander, and a squad of five men

Trinity, Madison, Walker and

says his investigations showed
that fully thirty murders have
been oommitted there during the
past few years. Very few of
these crimes have reached the
knowledge of the general public.
Wm. J. Bryan in a letter in the
Commoner, written in reply to a
Eolitical letter written by Judge
:eagan of Texas says that those
who are now leading the reorgan-
ization movement in the Demo-
cratic party are a menace to the
party's welfare, as well as to the
country's good' and that he will
continue to oppose them in sea-
son and out of season.
The editor of tbe Farmersville
Sentinel must be "showed" when
it comes to World Fair sights.
He says, "Messrs Wortbaui,
Kirkpatnck, Dixon and others
of the World's Fair Commission
proclaims Texas ahead on exhib-
its in many respects and behind
in but few. We hope they are
correct but when it comes to that
show we take no ones word for
it, we are 'Miasourians.' "
The Russians give as explana-
tion of the explooions beard at
Port Arthur which led to reports
that they were destroying their
warships in that harbor, to tbe
effect that tho garrison at Port
Arthur is endeavoring to clear the
harbor entrance of the stone-
laden ships sent in by the Japa-
nese. Divers were sent down
who placed charges of dynamite
in position and succeeded in blow-
ing away enough of the cement
and rocK cargoes to admit the
passage of torpedo boats through
the channel.
A prominent white speaker was
delivering an address on modern
civilization to an audience of In-
dians in the Indian Terri-
tory. In urging them to accept
the white man's progressive ideas;
he told them that the Territory
would blossom and bloom like a
rose. An old Indian interrupted
the interpreter long enough to
ask, "Whose rose will it be?"—
McKinney Courier.
That Indian was a dreadful
teaser. He knew, the sly rascal,
whose rose it would be, but he
wanted to put a fly in the orator's
gravy, and lie did. Every rose
has its thorn, even in Indian Ter-
ritory.—Dallas News.
A man can take a newspaper.
It is the cheapest thing he can
buy. Every time a hen clucks
and lays an egg, his paper is paid
for that week. It costs less than
a postage stamp—less than to
send or receive a letter. It comes
every week, rain or shine, calm or
cloudy. No matter what happens,
it enters your home a welcome
guest, full of sunshine, cheer and
interest. It opens tho door of
the great world and puts you face
to face with its people and its
great events, It shortens the
long winter nights. It is your
advisor, goseipper and friend. No
man is just to his children who
does not give them the local pa-
per. No man is good to himself
who does not take newspapers.—
Paul's Valloy Enterprise.
millions in Cotton Stalks.
M. W. Marsden of Philadel-
phia and Joseph Wile of Ken-
tucky who several months since
had a lot of cotton stalks shipped
to Philadelphia to have them an-
alyzed to find if there was some-
thing valuable in them, returned
to Gonzales recently with sam-
ples of what was found in them,
and exhibited same to a meeting
of citizens. The stalks were
found to contain from two to four
dollars worth of sugar to tbo ton,
to mako fine samples of paper,
superior to wood pulp, two pieces
of material resemble celluloid,
smokeless powder composition,
alcohol and a valuable fertilizer.
Mr Marsden thought that an acre
of average stalks would amount
to about three tons, and that in
tho south 70,000,000 tons of stalks
were going lo waste that were
capable of propucing that many
hundred millions of dollars.
These gentlemen show their
faith in their investigation by of-
fering to erect a plant at Gon-
zales for the conversion of the
stalks into the various articles
shown, at a cost of $75,000. with
a possible increase to $250,000 if
the citizens would lake $25,000
preferred stock. There is no
su«di plant or industry yet in op-
eration.—Flatonia Argus.

Grabbing at Straws.
All the courts of Texas, the
Supremo Court of the United
States and about two-thirds of the
voters of Texas have sat down on
tlK liquor tratlic. Yet, in the
face of till this, a few, a very fow,
people of Texas want 133 people
who compose the legislature to
ride rough-shod over the people
and the courts and impair the
present eflicient local option law
of Texas! Will they do it? That
remains to be seen. So you bet-
ter know how a man stands on
this question before you vote for
him for tho legislature.—Piano

which quieted her stomach aud
she slept tho whole night through

BY AIR 5HIP TO PAIR.
Twelve Kentucklans Coming to
St, Louis by e New Route.
St. Louis, Msy 16.—A Louis-
ville real estate man named Best

ship in which he proposes taking
