the investors will realize lucra-
tive profits.
The convention held here dur-
ing the latter part of the past
week Was quite a" success. Rev.
W. E. Foster of Dallas, general
secretary of the work in the
Baptist denomination, conducted
a "Round Table" at the Taber-
nacle Saturday afternoon which
was much enjoyed, On Sunday
morning Rev. Foster addressed
the congregation at tlje First
Baptist Church.
An inspiring song and praver
service was neid at tne laoer-
nacle Sunday night, led by Ed-
mond Heinsohn of Temple, who
is president of the Interdenomi-
national work in Bell county.
Some of the things emphas-
ized in the convention were that
the Bible sjhool is the teaching
hour of the church and that all
should be in it and remain for
the preaching service, It was
generally agreed that by being
absent from the preaching ser-
vice officers and teachers would
do more harm to the cause of
Christ than the good donu by
them in the Sunday school could
f 'equal. The importance of teach
ers' training and the importance
Of parents being interested in
the work was also emphasized.
Another convention will soon
be held here, in which all the
schools in the district will be
urged to take part, and officers
will be elected.
'Work on the coonstruction of
a nigh powered transmission
line of the Texas Light and
Power company, between Waco
and Taylor has begun.
A carload of insulators to be
used in the placing in the air of
the wires of high voltage, has
arrived in Temple and will be
sent out to the various towi.s to
be served by the transmission
wire.
It is expected that the line will
be completed within three
months' time. The Temple and
Taylor Plants of the company
will not in any way be affected
by the new connection, Besides
serving a number of small towns
on the line, the placing of the
transmission wire will be of suf-
ficient size to guarantee the pul
ling of interurban cars between I
the two cities, should interurban
ever be developed to a head, as
is confidently beleived by many
people of Waco and Temple. In
fact the wire is a continuation of
that between Waco and Fort
Worth along whhh intern, an

The Thresher Arrived
The new thresher, recently or-
dered by R. S. Thompson, ar-
rived Saturday, and was at once
unloaded, and is now busy thresh-
ing the grain. It is the very
latest model "Red River Special"
thresher and steam engine, and
has all regular attachments for
threshing cane and maize. The
Tribune wishes Mr. Thompson a
full run with his macnine.
sun. June , in tnenist
.charge to a grand jury in
w.ly created criminal dis-
cdurt for Travis and Wil
liamson counties, Judge A. S.
Fisher today a3ked that all slate
departments and state institu-
tions be investigated, that the
anti-trust law be given a care-
ful consideration and that grand
jurors take into consideration
that while open bribery may not
be practiced about legislatures,
it is the duty of grand jurors to
investigate for the purpose of
determining whether or not is
hidden practices in such meth-
ods as poker games or purport-
ed sales, for example.
The charge is one of the most
unusual ever delivered in a local
district court and covers every
phase of the state work, atten
tion being called to peculiar jur-
isdiction of Travis county grand
juries in state matters, with the
statement that legislative com-
mittees often usurp the duties
of grand juries, their investiga-
tions being political and grand
jury investigations being based
on justice.
One of the most important
provisions of the initial charge
of Judge Fisher affects all anti
trust suits which havejbeen filed
in Travis county within the past
'year or two.
The rains of the past week
have benefited the crops to an
extent that can not be calculated
Lin dollars and cents.
Students Present Play
At the Casino Hall last Satur-
day night twelve students of the
Salado College presented the
comedy-drama "Because I Love
You" to an attentive and inter-
ested audience. Produced by
amateurs the performance was
all that could be desired, and it
amply demonstrated the training
of the students under the super-
ior instruction of Prof. W. N.
Doyle, The attendance was
small though appreciative.
""Wichita Falls, Texas, June 7,
More than three hundred fami-
lies in this city are homeless as
a result of overflows of creeks
aud riyers north of this city last
night. The rises followed heavy
rains here.
Early today Holliday creek
went out of its banks, overflow-
ing the southeastern portion of
the city for ten blocks and ex-
tending to the yery edge of the
business section, Late today the
Big Wichita went put of iis
banks, Numerous warehouses
and small industrial plants are
flooded and the damage is great.
Boats are plying on the inunda-
tee streets and street carfceryice
is partially suspended. The
floods are without precedent in
this territory.
Lake Wichita is at its highest
stage since 1908, but it is said
the dam is not in danger. This
city has been without train ser
vice since Saturday. Damage is
estimated at $1,000,000.
