GAINESVILLE, TEXAS, SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 17 1905.
NO. 235
NOT SINCE
The OLD TOWN
CAME
ON EARTH
Will there be such a shaking up as
will commence here
Saturday Morning, Dec.
at 8 O’clock
The whole city w ill be in an uproar. We expect the
people to come by the thousands. The call is here, and
our shoulders go to the w heel to start Vm rolling* as
the}' never rolled before. It comes like a Hash of light-
ning from the heavens; it’s the battle of our life to get
cash, and a barrel w e imp have. We expect these war-
priced vets, to holler, but we can’t help it. With us it’s
oulv a few da vs to do the work that would usually take
three months to to do—Fnteen Days is the allotted time
and we are sending word to all of the people and not the
favored few w hat’s going to happen in Gainesville.
Commencing Saturday Morning,
DECEMBER
And Continuing for Fifteen Days.
w ithout a break, rain, sunshine or blizzard, the battle
starts at 8 p. in. Saturday morning, with McCow.n be-
hind the big guns, with coats off and sleeves rolled up
working as never before in our lives to cut this gigantic
stock down to the lowest possible ebb. It’s .a merchan-
dise battle such as never before witnessed within the
walls of this city—$63,912 72 worth of the highest
grade merchandise in this city to be cut loose and turn-
ed over to the people in the next 15 days to get cash, of
which we want a barrel, and not a little one, either. If
prices and hard w ork will deliver the goods, w e are
here shouting from the housetops to get it. All of our
clothing, all of our underwear, all of our shoes,all
of our boots, all of our hats and caps, all of our
sox and suspenders, all of our neckties and col-
lars, our immense line dress goods, silks and sat-
ins. our outing flannel our calico and percale, our
ginghams, our demins and ducks, our muslin and
domestics, our tailor made suits and jackets, our
rain coats, our furs, our corsets, hosiery and ladies
underwear, children’s underwear, muslin under-
wear, and over 100,000 more items go in this sac-
rifice cash-getting sale. The like was never seen
before and never again in this city. It’s simply
pouring cannon balls into these war priced vets who
are still clamoring for their usual 50 per cent profit.
With McCown profits are a thing of the past—it’s the
almighty dollar now that will comfort us. Right here,
under consolidated roofs of McCown’s big store your
hard earn dollar will absolutely do wonders.
The Whole Store Is Ablaze With Bargains
Fifteen days to cut loose thousads of dollars’ worth of high grade merchandise.
Over 100U pairs of shoes have the red mark of destruction on ’em. Come get what
you want. 1 he 25c Talcum Powder, sale price...............................9c

GOVERNMENT OPENLY DEFIED
BY REVOLUTIONARY PARTY
Document Presented Which May
Mean War.
St.1 Petersburg, Pec. 16.—The
proletariat organizations have
united in a protest today in a
manifesto in which the govern-
ment is openly defied.
The manifesto has created a
great sensation and wholesale ar-
rests are anticipated.
The revolutionary party
throws down the gauntlet to the
government in the shape of a
manifesto which will surely fig-
ure as a historical document. It
is stamped with the official seal
of the Workmen’s Alliance and
means purely and simply that
the government will have to pro-
ceed to measure its force or give
way entirely. It reads in part
thus:
The government is on the
ing and no work is thus far forth-
coming.
Those who have grown accus-
tomed to enrich themselves at
the expense of the government
do not know what to do, and are
hurried to close up the govern-
ment bureaus and workshops.
Bankruutcies are falling atop
bankruptcies. Even the banks
are tottering, while the trade
turnover is reduced to nothing-
ness-
This struggle between the
government and the revolutiona-
ries is causing nothing beyond
continued agitation and suspense.
Foreign capital is being rapidly
withdrawn Wealthy people are
hurriedly disposing of their
property and are taking refuge
abroad. Bobbery is rampant.

TIED HORSES
TAILS TOGETHER
Lawrenceburg, Ind., Dec. 10.—
The Hu mane Society has resolv*
jed to prosecute a farm hand who
is accused of an act of frightful
! cruelty to animals-
| Yesterday while in an intoxi-
cated condition the man tied the
tails of two horses together with
a stout strap. Then he urged
the animals to pull in opposite
! directions. They tugged so well
and hard that the tail of one of
the horses was completely torn
I from its socket and the tail of
the other practically severed
from its body.
The animals were the property
W. E. Brunders of Jackson town-
ship, and were valuable.
BREWERS HAVE
A STRAIGHT TIP
PRAYED FOR
THREE HOURS
Grand, Okla. Dec. 16 —What
is perhaps the longest prayer
ever breathed forth to Deity in
Oklahoma was that sent up oy
Rev. E. M. Beum at the Allmon
school house last Tuesday night.
Rev. Beum who preaches at Al-
imon, has a rival at that place in
the person of a Hol-ness exhort-
er, and Beum was wroth when
the Holiness brother was trying
to scatter the flock. Open vio-
lence was naturally a question-
able mode of putting the man of
nerfection out of the way, so
Rev Beum fell upon the plan of
praying him out. By assuming
one pasture after another, Rev.
Beum, apparently had connection
with Deity for three hours. The
meeting adjourned at the end of
his prayer.
| Muskogee, I. T. Dec. 15.—The
I brewers of the country have ap-
I parently got a straight tip that
Indian Territory will be admitt-
ed to statehood without the pro
hibition clause in the enabling
act, and on the strength of this
tip they are spending their mon-
in options on property to be used
for saloon and wholesale liquor
purposes as soon as theTerritory
is opened up.
A representative of the Busch
Brewing Company is in Musko-
gee and it is understood that he
has taken options on several
choice locations for rental at
some future time. In addi-
tion it was reported last night
that this same agent has secured
options on ground well located
for large wholesale warehouses
The same agent that is here has
also been doing business in the
other towns of the Territory and
has been especially active in the
new towns. On the Fort Smith
and Western road it is under-
stood that options were taken on
lots in nearly every town and re-
ports have been received from
other lines of road that the same
line of action is being pursued.
It is not known whether the
Busch people alone are working
in the held or whether a half
dozen brewing companies are at
work, but the representative
here is working for the Busch
people.
1 am prepared to buy and pay
spot cash for a good notes.

morning in the trial of Monk
Gibson. He was followed by L-
E Ward, a real estate dealer of
Edna and the owner of the* prop-

Dr. S. Berg of San Antonio

made of Monk, physically and
mentally, “I found him very
well developed for a boy of his
announced age,” said the doctor,
when asked.
Here the statements made by
Gibson to District Attorney
Baker at the time of the examin
ation were recalled in which Gib-
son said while plowing he saw two
negro men, dressed alike, chase
Mrs. Couditt around the house.

ed him over the field into the

were- He said the man gave his
name as Woodson Ware and that
the other man was Will Ware.

stated after some days that the
trip of Mr. Hamilton as contem-
plated and his return to active
business would surely be follow-
ed by a serious illness. There-
fore absolute rest for seyeral
months would be necessary. In
lieu of his return Mr. Hamilton
has prepared and sent a
full and explicit statement
covering his connection with
the affairs of the insurance com
pany.”
“It is understood Hamilton’s
response of the legislative com-
mittee to take the form of going

courtesy to the committee-”
