If at.y person In McKlnney has
continued to entertain any doubts
concerning the construction of thr
Sherman-Dalian electric line, In the
face of the chartering of the compa-
ny, the sale of the share*, securing
of the right of way and the activity
that has been displayed by those In-
terested, surely those doubts must
now be dispelled, for the very time
for the beginning of the work has
been set and that not In the distant
future, bu: almost at hand.
President J. P. Strickland of the
Texas Traction Company, which Is
to construct the road, caine up from
Dallas to Sherman yesterday, accom-
panied by Judge T. B. Williams of
Waxahachle, general attorney, and
Assistant Chief Engineer George A.
Duren, and In hrlelly discussing the
matter, Mr. Strickland .said: "It
Ih our Intention to break dirt some
time next week, most likely on the
10th Inst. Of course our engineers
have to do some preliminary work
before the contractors go *o work
on the actual construction."
J. W. Martin Is to be resident en-
gineer at Sherman, with temporary
headquarters In Sherman.
Under the contract McKlnney not
only Rets the Immense power house
of the road, but the construction of
four mileR or clectrlc street railway
* In the city, and there M now no
room whatever for doubt concerning
the constructionNof the road.

Man Told of Woman Who Made
Him Stand Up.
Dr. E. E. King, pastor of the Bap-
tist church of McKlnney, was here
and before leaving he expressed a
desire to see Senator Bailey, on
whom he told a story of a woman
who uaed to make the statesman
atep sideways or any other way
that Bhe desired. In mentioning
that he would like to see Senator
Bailey before leaving, he said.
"My wife used to be Joe Bailey's
teacher."
Of course, Mrs. King could tell all
about the bad little boy's pranks and
how she used to make him stand up
in the corner, or possibly dust htm
off now and then to loosen his skin,
but Dr. King didn't know all the de-
tails, or possibly refrained from
mentioning them at this time be-
cause of the trouble it would cause
the Hearst papeia in figuring out
an Inborn desire of making enough
money to support his family.
It Is probable that the Plrst Bap-
tist church of this city will extend a
call to Dr. King.—Gainesville Mss-
aenger.
* * * • •
In reference to the mention In
the foregoing that the Plrst Baptist
church of Gainesville may extend a
call to Dr. King, he was seen by a
reporter of this paper and asked
concerning it. lie stated that he
had not received the call and If he
did later, while he would appreciate
the sentiment expressed, It was not
his Intention to leave McKlnney.
Dr. King is one of the most beloved
pastors that the Baptist, church or
any other church In McKlnney has
ever had, and he could not be spar-
ed from this city. Gainesville has al-
ready taken one of McKlnney'n
best and most popular preachers,
ables *nd that Is one too many.

Washington, Oct. 4.—It 1b an-
nounced that on further considera-
tion the President has decided to fol-
low his plan previously formed and
send Charles E. Magoon to Cuba, to
succeed Mr. Taft as provisional gov-
ernor, allowing Governor Winthrop
to remain in Porto Rico where his
services are needed.
It was stated yesterday that the
President had expressed his Inten-
tion not to send Governor Magoon
to Cuba as anounced earlier in the
day because of advices then in
hand from Secretary Taft intimat-
ing that the arrangements made for
Governor Winthrop assuming the du-
ties of provisional governor had
gone too far ot be changed conve-
niently. A later dispatch from the
secretary, however, put the matter
in a different light and indicated
that the secretary was willing that
the governor should remain in Porto
Rico.
President Roosevelt, who has all
along been anxious to have Mr. Ma-
goon go to Cuba, acted promptly up-
on receipt of the secretary's dispatch
and appointed Mr. Magoon. This
decision leaves Governor Winthrop
to finish work which he has in
hand in Porto Hico and will not de-
lay but a few months .fudge Ma-
goon's departure for the Philippines.
Mr. Magoon was informed that
Secretary Taft desired him to come
to Havana at the earliest moment
and he will leave Saturday which
will enable him to catch a steamer
from Miami.
General Bell, who has been order-
ed to Cuba, will accompany Mr. Ma-
goon.
Last night Mr. Magoon, Secretary
and Mrs. Root and Rev. Dr. Pea-
bodv of Groton, Mass., were guests
at dinner at. the White House.
Major Movllle reports that 1,000
arms have been quietly turned over

County Mnchly on Map at Recent
Fort Worth Meeting.
This has been a gala day for the
Republicans of Collin county, the
occasion being the speech at the
court house this afternoon by Hod.
A. J. Rosenthal! of Galveston, who
Is a Republican speaker of National
reputation.
A number of National flags had
been put up >;, different portions of
the business section of the town, on
the court house and at the depot.
A large flag was put up on the court
house tower by our esteemed towns-
man L. W. Mayhew and Editor J.
F. Harrison of Parmersvllle, and
when they came down to view their i
work, several Democrats called
their attention to the fact that in
tacking the flag to the staff theey
had the flag upside down. They
then had to "haul down the flag"
and do the job all over.
Judge Rosenthal! arrived on the
11:55 Kat.v train and was met at
the depot by the reception committee
recently appointed, with Capt.
W. L. Boyd chairman, and ihe
Chambersvllle and Altoga bands,
and was escorted to the Wade ho-
tel where he held an Informal re-
ception to his friends. At. t
o'clock he was escorted to the dis-
trict court Voom which had been at-
tractively decorated with flags and
bunting by a number of the Repub-
lican ladles of the city. Just behind
the speaker's stend had been placed
large pictures of McKinley and
Roosevelt and other National Re-
publican leaders, and one of J, W.
Thomas, one of the pioneer citizens
and Republicans of Collin county.
Judge Rosenthall was introduced
by Capt. W. L. Boyd and when he
arose to speak was greeted with ap-
plause by a large audience, includ-
ing a number of ladles. During the
course of hia address, while dis-
cussing the negro in politics, he said
that while there were plenty of good
honest negroes, they did not aspire
to become party leaders, and that
this was a white man's country and
must ever remain so. He is an
able and fluent speaker and was
frequently interrupted with ap-
plause.

Stiung Up by .neck.
Corslcana, Texas, Oct. S.—A jury
has returned a verdict of guilty
against Will Henderson, assessing
his punishment at six months in the
county jail and imposing a fine of
t?oo. A few days ago Ardis Eustls
made complaint that a party of men
took possession of him, took him to
a secluded spot near Rice, put a rope
around his neck, drew the rope over
a limb and suspended him in the
air, their object being, he claimed, to
force him to reveal the hiding
place of some money which one of
them claimed had been stolen from
him. The conviction grew out of
this allegation.

gether unexpectedly. He had work-
ed as usual in the college yesterday
and had not specially complained un-
til the attack came on.

of the M. E. church, South, and by
the other pastors of the city. State

board of trustees and said that dur-
ing President Kendall's administra-
tion there had never been any fric-
tion between him and any member
of the local board. President Work

dustrial Arts, and Superintendent

schools] W. Arthur Thurman rep-
resented the student body of the

bably the best known school man In
