Ti.e. Si piember term of the Fifty-
Ninth Judiciul District Court convened
Monday at 9 o'clock, Judge M.
H. Garnett presiding. The petit Jury
fur the week was excused until 1
o'clock Monday afternoon. Judge Gar-
nett then selected Ills grand Jury for
t tie term and spent a little more than
<me hour In calling their attention to
vur.ous laws of the state, and Instruct-
ed litem to search diligently Into e/ery
violation ii*tlic county. He told the
members of the grand Jury that, the
nutl. which they hud Just taken, eni-
bf iced the duty an u grainl Juror, but
J i' wished lo cull their atlentlou to
1 h<- regular routine of business. He
'filled their attention to the fact that
heretofore some persons be In if sub.
pof aed would fail to appear before
the grand Jury, and as a result attach-
ments had to be Issued, which was an
extra cost. Judgo (inmett told his
grand Jury that If such occurred
during the present term, just report to
him and he would tine such persons
falling to appear wlio had be- n n gu-
I.irlv subpoenaed,
"It was a request of the, lar.t Krand
Jury that the constables of the county
should he appointed riding bailiffs for
the grand Juries," said Judgo Onr-
ii«-tt, "but T am opposed to It, hut will
carry out the roqueHt." He said that
it had heretofore been that cases
whl> h«- the constable should have
brought up in the J. P. court, were
n y'.eeted and when n constable be-
camt a riding bailiff of the grand Jury
it w .i.s then that witnesses would be
>urr,*uoned and aft Indictment returned
liy the grand Jury against such per-
soi . When tho time came for trial
thi constable would then declare the
cane lo be in his precinct and would
have the case transferred to J. I',
court. The judge Informed tlie grand
Jury that t lift was a "political dodge"
and ho was not going to be tangled
up with any such "political machine"
and that from now on ho wus not.
going to transfer any of such cases
back to justice courts, but would
transfer them to the county court.
A g; ■ i n Judge Oarnett stated that some
of the constables were of the opinion
that they were not lo work for ttie
grand Jury out of their precinct. He
further said that they were appointed
ns tiding bailiffs for said grand Jury
and were supposed to g? wherever
the grand Jury deemed It nccessnry,
whether In their renpectlve precincts
or not, and if any ono should fall to
comply with the request of the grand
Jury, for them to roport it to him and
he would appoint some one else in
bis stead, and would continue to ap-
point new men for bailiffs until he
could secure men who would do tho
work. All constables of tho county
were appointed riding bailiffs. Tip
Ends was also appointed a riding
bailiff.
Judge Oarnett called their attention
to the local option law; the carrying
of pistols, the election law, etc., and
asked that they diligently look Into
same.
Another law Judge Oarnett called
to the attention of the grand Jury,
was that of sheriffs and deputies using
passes and then charging mileage.
"The railroads," he said, "gave those
passes to sheriffs and members of the
sheriffs' department over the state,
and if any officer had a pass and went
to any other point, and came from an-
other point after a prisoner, It wos
against the law for said officer to
charge mileage, whether he had used
the pass or not.
Price Bush was appointed foreman
of the grand Jury and George Woods
was appointed door bailiff. T*he Judge
had the sheriff to show the members
of the grand Jury their room at 11
o'clock Monday, where they are
actively engaged In looking Into tho
violations of the law In Collin county.

FOSTER'S NEITHER BULLETIN
Copyrighted 1915 by W. T. Foster.
Washington, D. C, Sept. 211. l«iist
bulletin gave forecasts of distur-
bance* to cross continent Sept. 24 to
L'H and HO to Oct. 4, warm waves
Sept. to 27 and 20 to Oct. S.
cool waves' Sept. 2i! lo SO and pet. 2
1% II, Temperatures of these two
weeks will average lower and frosts
will go further south than usual.
Severe stoi'sni are expected during the
week centering on Sept, 2fi. More
I liau usual rain expected on Pacific
slope nnd less than usual east of the
Kockles. Next disturbance will reach
Paclfla coast about Oct. 4, cross Paci-
fic slope by close of 6, great ceiUral
valleys (I to 8, eastern sections *9.
Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about Oct. 4, great central valleys 8,
eastern sections H. Cool wave will
cross Pacific slope about Oct. 7, great
central valleys 9. eastern sections II.
This will be an exceedingly dan-
gerous storm on the continent nnd
on the oceans, gulfs and seas in the
vicinity of the North and South
American continents. We sincerely
wish for a fog-horn that would Jar
nil the atmosphere about the^wo con-
tinents till all the people- would bo
compelled to give heed to our urgent
warnings of the awful storms expect-
ed during the first seven days of
October. If mistakes are made In
these forecasts It Is best lo be mis-
taken on the same side. We believe
that many lives nnd an immense
amount of property will be destroyed
by hurricanes, tornadoes, floods ami
earthquakes and we have Implicit
faltli that these warnings will do
tnnch good In saving lives and prop-
erty. Ton would better remain close
to safety during the first seven days
of October.
Conditions ore not favorable trt
general heavy rains during first week
in October coat of Rockies, but thei
severe storms will cause sudden local
d angerous floods. West of the
Heckles conditions are favorable to
more than usual rain during thut
great storm period and Hoods are ex-
pected to he more general. Very
heavy rains are expected In Central
America.
Tills dangerous storm period Is also
expected to affect South Africa, thrt
Kast Indies, Australia and Northern
South America. The growing crops
of those countries will probably he
much damaged. No such powerful
combinations of planetary forces
have occurred during our forty years
strenuous studies of the great nnd Im-
portant weather problems.
Another very dangerous storm per-
iod Is expected last half of October.
It will be a double header covering
the weeks centering on October 21 and
2r,. particulars will be given In next
bulletin. A great fall in tempera-
ture Is expected from Oct. fi to 20
and killing frosts are expected In
northern parts of the cotton belt dur-
ing the week centering on Oct. 19.
Where wheat Is sown late the soil
la expected lo he generally favorable
after Oct. 10. There ore great pos-
sibilities for 191B In some sections of
the plains states and provinces. Thai
Immensely rich soil spread over the
slope east of the Rockies, extending
1200 miles north from the Gulf of
Mexico and a width of S00 miles,
making S.#00,000 sections would be
better than all the gold mines If
properly managed. The years of
sufficient rainfall can be known In
advance for that great country and
If wheat were liberally sown there
for the wet years Immense wealth
result. But that Is % sectional and
persotinl matter and we prefer to dis-
cuss It with only those people who
are Interested.

to Ochiltree county on a prospecting
