London, May 2U.—The American
steamer \ehruMkun, Captain Green,
from Liverpool May 24, for Delaware
Breakwater, was torpedoed Tuesday
by a submarine at a point forty miles
w.st-southwest of Fust net, off the
south coast of Ireland.
The sea was calm at the time. The
crow at once took to tlie boats and
stood by the steamer.
It was soon ascertained that the
Nebraskan wafl not seriously damag-
ed. She had been struck forward and
her fore holds were full of water.
The crew returned on board and
got the vessel under way. The Ne-
braskan dbl not carry any passen-
gers.
The foregoing information was re-
ceived today by the British ndtnlrnl-
tv in London and it was at once com-
municated to the American embassy.
Immediately she was struck, the
Nebraskan began calling for help by
wireless. Brownhtad received the
wireless-communication at 9 a. m.
Tuesday from Crookhaven.
A nit stag,, to Lloyds from Kinsale,
Ireland, says the the Nebraskan pass-
ed that point at 11 o'clock this morn-
ing apparently bound for Queens-
town.
The Nebraskan was down at the
bows. She was proceeding under her
own steam and flying the signal: "I
an not under control "
The Nebraskan Is owned hty the
American-Hawaiian Steamship Co.,
of New York, and is of 2.S24 tons
is believed by her captain to have j ru't register. On her lost eastward

of considering the securing of a right -

being collleliiplated by that road for

Silas K. Walker, president of the
Business Men's Association, acted as
chairman 'if the mect'->g. He appoint-
ed a secretary ami Immediately culled
upon J. Perry Burrus to expluiu tlit?
object of the meeting which he did In
a verj clear ami concise manner,
stating that some McKltiney citizens
had talked over I lie matter with Mr.
Kcneilrk, president of the M. (>. At G.
Hiillroad eoiupan> recently.
If this road Is built It will give Mc-
Kliwtcy a through line to Kansas City
which would be of considerable ad-
vantage. It would also give r straight
haul on freight from Mi Kinney to
Port Worth.
Hon. !•:. W Kirkpulrlck made a
short but vigorous talk In which lie
expressed himself as being heartily In
favor of securing the road for Mc-
Kltiney.
F. B. Pope and I'". C. Thompson
then expressed theinseD'es as being In
favor of securing the road and later
in the meeting each man In attend-
ance expressed himself as being in fa-
vor of ami willing to help secure the
roati.
on motion of Dr. J. O. Krwln per-
manent organization was perfected,
after which Mr. Walker turned the
meeting over to J. Perry Burrus, who
was made chairman. Mr. Burrus call-
ed on each one present for Ills views
which were unanimous in favor of
taking the necessary steps to secure
this new railroad for McKltiney. A
motion was made and carried to the
effect that a public mass meeting be
called for next Friday night at which
time ileilnltc data will be presented to
ascertain the full benefits to be deriv-
ed by Hie building of such n road. A
committee of three was appointed to
secure this data as follows: Paul Me-
Kenney, George T. Cobb and B. G.
Woodley, and Inter the name of Mr.
Burrus wus added to this committee.
It is necessary that immediate ac-
tion hu taken on tills matter us the
proposition of tiie railroad company
can only be held open a very short
time. The best interests of McKtnney
and McKlnuey territory are at stake
on this proposition, and It Is hoped
that every citizen Interested In the Up-
building of our city will be present at
the mass meeting Frldu; night In the
Business Men's Association auditorium
In the I'ope Theuter building.

tracks southward as far as Deiilson.
Now It has secured a 25 year fran-
i-hise for use of the II. tVr T. C. truck
Jointly with that road from Sherman
to Piano, thence over the Cotton Belt
to Port Worth. By the terms of this
agreement, the M. o. .V (i. traffic can-
not make McKiimey a stopping point
unless It builds Its own depot anil
yard trackage. This It will do if Me-
Klnncy gives It the proper encourage-
ment. ,1. Perrv Burrus and Howell K.
Smith, the latter cashier of the First
National Bank, have conferred with
Mr. Keneflck, president of the M. O.
& G., who recently visited our city.
They have investigated the matter and
express the opinion that $15,000.00
will be a sum sufficient to provide the
fuel I ties needed by the M. o. & (i. for
depot and sidings In McKltiney and
therefore make our town a regular
stopping point on the through road
from Kansas City to the Gulf.
The M. O. & G. railroad would give
McKinney direct connection with the
coal fields of Oklahoma. It would give
a direct haul to Kansas City and Ft.
Worth, ami therefore provide much
better freight accommodations and
perhaps lead to better freight rates
also.
If you favor this enterprise which Is
fraught with so much Importance to
"iir future, come out Friday night to
lend your counsel to the landing of
the movement designed to raise the
comparatively small sum or $15,000.00
which Is all that Is needed to clinch a
trunk line of railroad for McKlnnev.

Berne, Switzerland, May 21, via

ties have decided to make suitable
representation to Germany on the
sinking on May 7 of the I'unard Line
steamer Lusltania by a German sub-
marine, as a result of which three
Swiss citizens lost their lives. The
Government is awaiting knowledge
of the German reply to the Washing-
ton note on this subject so as better
to be aide to choose a wise course of
procedure.
The Swiss think well of President
Wilson's note, tint to most news-
paper- It appears to bo hardly strong
enough.
The argument is being made here
by Swiss observers that the Swiss re-
presentatives will have great weight
because behind them there will bo

Austin, Toxus, May 25.—licooin-
menciatlon bus been made to Clover,
nor Ferguson by the Board of Par-
dons that a full pardon be grunted to
Frank McCue, given a life term up-
on conviction of tlie murder of Karl
Mabry in Dallas In 1907.
The Governor has not yet consider-
ed the case, anil probably will not
until the adjournment of the Legis-
latu re.
The Met'ue case is probably one of
the most remarkable ever recorded In
Texas. He was tried five times, the
first four trials resulting in hung
Juries. After the Indictment wus re-
turned tho case was transferred by
the Judge of the Dallas District
'ount to Tarrant County, where It
wus tried three times, each irlul re-
sulting in u disagreement by iae jury
very few of the Jurors voting for
conviction.
The case was then dismissed, pro-
bnbly on the grounds that It wus
thought that a conviction could not
be had. But the County Attorney of
Dallas county hud McCue reindicted
nnd the District Judge again trans-
ferred the case on a change of venue
to t'ollln county.
The first trlnl there ng.'iin resulted
In a disagreement of the jury, but on
the next trial, the fifth since the re-
turning of tho original Indictment, a
verdict of guilty was returned and
tho punishment was assessed at life
Imprisonment.
All through the many trials Mc-
Cue's defense was an alibi, and It is
declared it was one of the strongest
ever established in a criminal case In
Texas.

Leaving McKinney
last Monday morn-
ing for Weston, we
stopped ol't at An-
na, whole we reach-*
ed our destination
by private convey-
ance. The Anna
postofflce was mov-
ing into Its now
home on the north
side of tho square.
A new cabinet had
just been Installed,
a sky light and fly-
proof screens also recent additions
which tend to make the surroundings
more comfortable at the mime time
enabling Postmaster Goforth and his
worthy assistant, In the person of ills
accomplished sister, Miss Johnnye, to
give the best possible service.
Weston Is a village of throe liii-n-
dren souls surrounded by miles of
black lands unsurpassed for the fer-
tility of its soil, the Intelligence and
Industry of its people. There Is a
splendid school here, two churches
(Methodist and Baptist) and the
t'liristlun denomination will build a
house of worship this summer on a
lot recently nc<|iiqlred for that pur-
pose. Among the business concerns of
tho town we note four general mer-
chandise, two drug stores, one bank
with a paid up capital of $10,000; one
cotton gin now under construction
owned by a stock company and to
cost, when completed nnd family to
operate, not less than $10,000; two
blacksmith shops, a water works
system which furnishes to the town
un abundance of deep well wuter
thus in addition to serving Its pa-
trons with pure soft water, lessens
the danger of a typhoid epidemic In
the fall. Another concern and of
which Weston is proud, Is Its news-
paper, The Progress, with Bev. Al-
bert' Spence o\yner. editor and pub-
lisher assisted by his brother, Jack.
It Is a weekly publication nnd In Its
columns are reflected the progress,
intelligence and the high moral plain
upon which tho social fabric of tho
community rests.
on last Sunday evening we accom-
panied Bev. F.. F. lrfincuster to his
monthly appointment ut Maples, five
miles northwest of town where he
preucheil to those people. In the au-
dience were many familiar faces,
among tlietn J. H. Waller and family
wiio formerly resided one mile north
of Climax but who some years ago
sold out nnd moved wc;«t. A few
drouths were sufficient to convince
them . Hint they hud struck the
wrong place and they returned to
t'ollln last fall. The health of Mrs.
Waller Is very poor, Indeed.
Commissioner Paper's road gang Is
encamped In the south part of town
grading the roads. The Chrlstlun
people In and around Weston led by
Bev. I'',. F. Lancaster of the Method-
Its church, visited the camp lute Sun-
day evening ami held devotional
services. A word of Christian com-
fort and human sympathy to one
who is down and out will some
times awaken the finer sensibilities
of the unfortunate and a reforma-
tion is occasional^ the result. "I wn.s
In I'rlson and ye vlsltei^ me."
Grain is just beginning to assume
a yellow tinge and ere many weeks
the harvest song will thrill our souls
with lis peculiar melody.
