as I remember the date. His widow,

m initial evidence but came clear.
Mrs. Horn was left with u family
of six children alrof whom are living
except the youngest, which died soon
afto'" Its father was killed.
Nick Horn still owned his Texas
farm at his death and from the pro-
ceeds of this anil some accounts col-
lected his widow supported herself
and children until all were able to
(support themselves. All are married
except one, John Henry Horn of

death. Her relatives and friends
mourn not as for those for whom
there Is no hope. It. C. HORN.
L
DODO ELECTION
An election has been called in the
Ccllna 1nd impendent School district to
vote on )2>',0u0 worth of school house
bonds, with which to erect a public
school building. As II is, we have got
none, as is well known, tho school
house burned down last winter.
The date of the election lias been |
set for Monday, April I!), and was
called by the School Hoard In response
to a lurgei) signed petition from the
people.
It is estimated that. $2.',0o0 will
build and equip u li-rooin brick with
an assembly room or auditorium of
600 seating capacity ,aml it Is figured
that the tux for such a building will
be no more than we are now paying,,
because there are more people and
more territory is tho district now
stands than when the old school
building wus put up eleven years ago.
It only requires a majority to carry
a bond election for school purposes.
There seems to be only a smull per
cent of the voters aga'nsl the uropo.
sltion and the election pi utilises to bo
a quiet nffair, though we look for a
liertvy vote to be polled, as the peo-
ple are determined to l.ave a s.-hool
here as good as any point similarly
situated. ,
The Mlorney general of tho stale
at fulfill ruled lost week thit the
presein boundary lines of the Celinu
Independent District res originally
made and added to by 'lie commis-
sioners' court last surcn.t r were all
niatters that wore done in accot'ilanco
I to law, and that there v.-11 no q'.nM-
jtion as to legality of «iny ol the terri-
tory nfi It now stands being legally
within tho boundaries of this' school
district. Till* Is an Important ruling
i one rning this district and It Is well
that the board of school trustees re-
fused to call tho bond election until
after the legality of th.' inelc* and
bounds of the district as It now stands
was settled.
If the election had have been held
first and the legality of the bound-
aries settled afterwards, there would
have been a heap of disputing the el-
ection and the sale of the bonds de-
laved.
But nil's well that ends well. I.el'd
vote for a school house. We've got
none. W>? nre bound to have It. Vot-
ing Is the only sure way to g"t it.
Tills thing of talking up a subscrip-
tion to raise the money to build a
public school houce Is nil hot air.
Such a plan might bull 1 a small af-
fair, but not a big enough one to hold
the 100 children now here and the
fiOO or IPO that will be ,-iere in a few
years hence.—Cellna Uncord.

about this counrt house being in a
fearful shape. There are no suitable

. S. WAHSHIP TO
CARRY MONEY TO YPCATAN
Washington, March 24.—An Amer-
ican wurshlp will take to Yucutan
money to finance the movement of
Mexico's aisal hemp crop, needed to
make twine for binding the enormous
wheat crop of the farmers of the
United States this year. The money,
9925,000 In currency, which manufac-
turers proposo to advance to the
hemp growers, Is in bank vaults at
Galveston, but no safe means of get-
ting It Into Mexico had been found.
Secretary Daniels agreed to permit
the use of a warship for the purpose
after hearing a statement by Edwurd
C. Heldrlch Jr., of Peoriii, III., repre-
senting the slsul purchasers, who out-
lined the difficulties that hud been
encountered.
It is probable a gunboat or destroy-
er now In southern waters will be
sent to Galveston to transport the
money.
Thero Is said to be some 250,000
bales of sisal ready for shipment at
Progreso, the port, and Merlda, tin
railway- center of Yucatan. Since
tho United States government pre-
vented Currnnxu from blockading
Progreso, the chief obstacle in the
way of moving this supply has been
a scarcity of labor and shipping fa-

JAPAN SAYS AMEKICAN
INTERESTS A HE RAPE
Tokio, March 22.—Japan has given
assurance to the United States relative
to the attitude of this country to-
ward Chlnn, which will prevent any
straining of the relations between the
two countries, according to belief ex-
pressed In official circles here today.
Wfiile the foreign office declines to
discuss the question. It Is learned
from nn authoritative source that the
Junanese government recently replied
at length to Inquiries made by the
Pulled Stats regarding several points
In the demands levied by Japan up-
on China.
Beports that the Pnlted States hml
served a warning upon Japan ngnlnst
any undue aggression toward China
are accepted as exaggerations.
COTTON LIVELIER
FOR LAST WEEK
Cotton showed some more activity
during the past week than the week
inimciliulelv preceding It. However,
there was no large volume of busi-
ness When we consider Hint tho
price stood at near tie for the entire
week, il becomes still more evident
that ttie amount of cotton still held by
tlie farmers Is small. It may ulso In-
dicate that such cotton us lias been
held to this time will lie held for
prices stlli higher than those offered
here now.
6 79 bales were handled here for Hie
week Just ended. 181 bales were
marketed directly in McKlnney, while
3118 bales were received under concen-
tration at the compress. These num-
bers show u gain of 268 bales under
concentration uml 38 bales direct,
when compared wltli Hie business of
the previous week.
Por the season up to and Including
the week closed u total of 14,075 bale*
of cotton have been marketed direct
iu McKlnney und 1 1,594 hules have
been unloaded here iu process of con-
ccut rut ion. The sum of these two
numbers makes a grand total of 20,-
litiri hales.
por tlie same period of the season
of I li I ;< II, 25,45.'! bales were received
through both channels, which shows
a gain tliis season o|' 1,201 bales. Dur-
ing that period 11,7X1! bales were
