BAULK AND WILDCAT.
Rev. I. W. Clark Injured.
Cuum'(| Considerable Interest at the
Katy lh*pcit This Morning.
A big box with heavy wire netting
sides and covered with canvas was
the center of attraction at the Katv
depot this morning until the Mc-
Kinney train pulled out.
In one compartment of the box
was a full grown black eagle who sat
on his perch and stared majestically
at the gaping throng of human be-
ings. He was a noble looking bird
and paid little attention to the peo-
ple who raised the canvas to look
at his majesty.
In the other side of the box was
quite a contrast. A big, fierce-look-
ing wildcat occupied that compart-
ment. His low, threatening growls
as the canvas was raised to view him
made one glad he was not free. His
fierce teeth and unsheathed claws
were a menace that was heeded
and the canvas covering was quick-
ly lowered to hide him from obser-
vation.
The outfit came from Grand Sa-
line and was directed to W. J. Sell-
ers at Farmersvllle.
To add to the menagerie in the
express car there was a hog in a box
and some ciates of chickens.—

cated threee miles from town, klllln

Dallas, Texas, Aug. 17.—When
Judge Bell had withdrawn hlB
name from the convention and asked
that the nomination of Col, Camp-
bell be made unanimous, the chair-
man put the motion, which was re-
ceived by the delegates by one
grand chorus of ayes, the settings
being furnished by the enthusiastic
applause of the people as they toss-
ed their hats and coat" toward the
celling of the hqll and waved their
fans and handkerchiefs. The band \
played "The Campbells Are Com-
ing" and Pat O'Keefe executed u
jig in the central aisle.
There were hundreds of calls for
"Campbell," which were persistent
until he appeared upon the ros-
trum. having gained entrance from
the door facing the delegates and
leading directly upon the platform.
He was escorted to the speaker's
stand by Mr. Colquitt and Murrell
Buckner, and the picture of the de-
feated candidate standing upon the
left of the nominee was greeted by
the delegates with prolonged ap-
plause.
In a few words Mr. Colquitt pre-
sented Col. Campbell to the conven-
tion. He said:
"1 shall not deal In ancient histo-
ry, but with the living present, and
will say to you that the Campbell
has come (applause).
This brief introduction was greet-
ed with renewed applause and re-
peated calls of "Campbell," "Camp-
bell."
In a resonant voicc reaching al-
most to the farthest recesses of the
auditorium amid the stillness which
prevailed after he had begun speak-
ing, Col. Campbell addressed the
convention. He said:
"Gentlemen of the ConveutW n •
The will of the people has been te-
spected by the organized Democracy
of Texas (Applause), and as .he
representatives of the Democrats of
this state and of the Democracy vcu j
hav conferred upon mo sn honor of j
which I am not unmindful. With \
grateful appreciation and full con-
sciousness of the responsibilities
Involved. 1 accept it.
"We have had for the last few
months In this state a disturbance in
the Democratic family. Three as
gallant gentlemen as ever flashed a
blaze in the political arena contest-
ed with me for this high honor—-
the honor which you have consum-
mated today.
"We went to the people of Texas
upon the Issues Involved, the happi-
ness of the people and safety of our
Stat?, and I am grateful that you
have not only honored me, but the
principles for which 1 stood have In
the main found expression In the
platform that you have adopted at
this time, and I say to you now,
following a suggestion made by me
a moment ago, that every platform

people of this State will be fulfilled
by me, If I have to hold the nose of

TRIBUTE TO Jl'IKJE BROWN. I
Eulogy on Distinguished Jurist by
Senator Bailey.
In the course of Senator Bailey'*
now ramous speech before th • State
Democratic convention in Dallas, he
paid a high tribute to Judge Thorn-
as J. Brown of the Texas Supreme
Court, a former citizen of M< Kinney
and for many years a rvHlutn* of
our sister city, Sherman.
Senator Bailey's reference to
Judge Brown, as report*'I l:i the
Dallas News, was as follows:
There is in Austin today, In the
quiet of the courtroom, in earnest
consultation with Is brother Judges,
there lives a man to whom Texas
owes a debt of gratitude, a man
whom she never can pay for Ills
work In that great conflict. 1 was
one of the early volunteers, and I
well remember that I received more
encouragement and counsel from
him than from any other man—Hon.
Thomas J. Brown. (Great applause.)
If I had the power 1 would liatig

AN AGREE tliLE SURPRISE.
State Fair Management Makes Many
Clianges and Improvements.
Dallas, Texas, Aug. .6.—The im-
provements which are being made at
the State Fair grounds will be an
agreeable surprise to visitors this
fall. An almost complete change
has been made in the pi an of the
park, in accordance with a design
prepared by Geo. E. Kessler, the
landscape architect who drew the
plans for the world's fair grounds
at St. Lotiis. Nearly all the old
buildings have been pulled down
and new ones substituted for them
on other sites, and many new ones
have been added to the original
number. The space used for exhib-
its has also been readjusted and ex-
tended. Amusement row will be lo-
cated east of the race track grand
stand, on ground heretofore occupi-
ed by thirteen of the race-horse
barns. These barns have been plac-
ed in the vicinity of the livestock de-
partment. The new poultry build-
ing and the horticultural building
cover much of the space between the
livestock department and Exposition
Hall, so that the fair thl* year will
extend all the way round the race-
track. The demand for space ex-
hibits and for concessions has been
so much greater than ever before
that there will be no vacant spaces
on the ground at the 1906 fair. The
city has put forth every effort to
mak the park the most beautiful
spot In Texas, and the general ver-
dict Is that those efforts have been
successful.
