BID WORLD GOOD-BY
THEN DRANK ACID

ing Note Telling Intention.
Fort Worth, Aug. 21 —By
drinking carbolic acid Evelyn

COTTON REPORT DISCOURAGING
Cotton Is Deteriorating Through'
out the South.
Washington, Aug,
weather bureau cotton report
says : While cotton is opened in
portions of the central and wes'
tern districts, the crop as a
whole has suffered deterioration
which is most marked in the

and shedding is extensive
throughout the belt, and dry hot

DESIRING PENSIONS.
Austin, Aug. 23 —Captain E
A. Plaines, pension clerk in the
comptroller’s department said
yesterday that up to date he had
received fifty-nine new applica
tions for Confederate pensions
for the quarter commencing
October 1, 1905. The quarter
was quite young, he raid, and
before its expiration the new
applications will probably sum
up to 600, as they are comiDg in
at a rapid rate.
The larger the number of ap-
plicants, of course the small the
per capita apportionment would
be.

swindles ever perpetrated in this
eountry.

Muskogee, I- T., Aug- 21.—
The separate statehood constitu-
tional convention met this morn-
ing with 175 out of 182 dele-
gates present, one .district
coming tomorrow. D- C. Me-
Curtain of the Choctaw Nation
was elected temporary chairman
and Alex Posey of Eufaula sec-
retary. A committee composed
of one from each nation was ap-
pointed on permanent organiza-
tion and order of business as
follows : Charles Bagg, U- S.
Russell, Morton Rutherford,
Alexander Richmond, Dr. Bush*
yhead and Joe Lehay.
Five delegates from Atoka were
unseated because the convention
sending them passed a single
statehood resolution endorsing
the single statehood convention
at Oklahoma City.
The permanent officers slated
are: P. Porter of Creek Nation,
chairman; Alex Posey, secretary-
The Indians are given preference
in the organization- There are
many people here from outside
the territory. Five thousand
people were at the opening of the
convention, lit will probably hold
one week and then take an ad-
journment of two weeks, giving
the committees time to make
their reports, when the conven-
tion will be re-established.

Main street yesterday evening

a street car and ran away.

distance a negro man, Clute
Stout, rushed out from the side-
walk into the street and seized
the lines. He was knocked down
and dragged a hundred yards,
but continued to hold to the lines
until the horse was stopped- But
for his action the occupants
would have been seriously hurt,
if not killed. The darky was
injured iu the knee and had his
clothes badly torn.

OUR AUSTIN LETTER.
Austin, Ang. 21.
To The Hesperian :
The work of beautifying the
capitol grounds continues. A
few days ago ground was broken
for a monument to the memory
of the Terry Rangers. It ia said
this will be the finest of any of
the works of art on the grounds.
It is being placet west of the
main walk, oppos te the Alamo
monument. The monument to
Gen. Albert Sidnqy Johnston ia
in place in the 8tate cemetery,
but there is a hitch in the com-
mittee over receiving it. It does
seem that this disagreement
should have come, if it had to
joins at all, before the work was
pyt in place- It will eventually
be accepted, and the haggling
new seems out of place-
The governor has authorized
a $10,000 deficiency expenditure
by the health department But
this will not be enough if the
present condition of affairs last
very long. I do not think the
legislature should be at all parsi
monious iu appropriating money
for quarantine purposes, for the
governor can control the expend
iture of it, and it is not needed
one time in ten when it is appro
priated. But when needed at all
it is badly needed and must be
had. It is probable, however,
that this is the last yellow fever
pcar^ we will have, for greater
vigilance will be exercised here-
after. The general government
will take a hand and Uncle Sam
always means business. The
prevention of yellow fever would
almost be jufctifycation enough
for our government to take hold
of all the pest breeding coun-
tries in central and south
America- The fever will have to
be exterminated on the Isthmus
before work on the canal can
proceed.
The cleaning up going on over
the state now, is what ought to
be done all the time. If we
would be that careful every year
we would escape typhoid and
malarial fevers, as well as entire-
ly (ret rid of diptheria and small
pox. I do not think however,
that there is the slightest danger
of yellow fever ever going
through the Indian Teritory and
entering Texas by way of Gaines
ville. Our people need have no
apprehension on that question.
Gov. Lanbam is back at his
post again, but is considerably
tatigned with watching his sick
children. Everybody is glad to
learn that they are recovering-
Bids on the school lands are
coming in rapidly now and on
the- second day of September
when they are to be opened, our
department will do a “Land
Office” business sure enough.
Six million acres is a considera-
ble affinujit of land to offer at one
time. But Texas often bores
with a big auger-
If we only had ti'r> past to go
over again, and could go at it
with the experience we now have
we could easily have a school
fund of one hundred and fifty
million, but experience often
comes too late to be of any benefit
to us.
The discovery of a large amount
of forged city of Austin bonds
has created considerable excite-
ment here. The matter when
probed to the bottom promises to
wreck the reputation of some
who have heretofore stood high
with the people of the state. If
this matter of graft keeps on, the
people will finally lose confidence
in almost everything, and then
indeed will we be in a bad plight.
The remedy is a careful, close,
and intelligent scrutiny of every
man who acts in any position of
trust- Every state, county and
city official as we l as every bank
and corporation, should be care-
fully checked up. It will not do
to-say snch and such a one is
honest and it would be a reflec-
tion on him to look into bis af-
fairs too closely. Texas, as well
as other states, needs a shaking
up. Let the action of every pub
lie man be made public property.
Then let the people see to it that
those who steal or waste the
public funds or the funds of oth-
ers entrusted to their care are
punished.
I fear this Austin bond forgery
is only a beginning of what will
come to light. The mad scramble
for wealth has given rascals an
excuse to ply their trade and
even turned the heads of honeat
men until they are willing to do
almost anything. Old fashioned
plain, plodding industry and
honesty must be restored to their
former high place, if we expect
to escape an epidemic of graft-
ing-

FIRE BREAKS OUT
ON BIG STEAMER
Detroit, Mich , Aug. 23.—Agi-
tation by several Dominion news-
papers threatens to precipitate
an international controversy over
the proposed raising and removal
to Detroit of three British war
vessels which were sunk in the
river Thames in the famous land
battle of October 5,1813.
The remains of these once
staunch war vessels were s part
of the British fleet that attempt-
ed to resist Commodore Perry in
the bay At that time the whole
northwestern country, through
the surrender of D ;troit by Hull
had fallen into British hands.
After the crushing defeat ad-
ministered by Perry the shatter-
ed remnant of the British fleet
slipped to Detroit and was basti
ly pressed into service by Gen-
Proctor, who realized thatfsafety
lay only in flight. Fomfvessels
were hastily loadpd-^ith arms, | and a half, two and six mild!
ammunition, stores, governmentj stream from Chatham. The
papers and other plunder from vessels are partly or wholly

case of it: ?

years since I first felt the effects
of kidney complaint, which
came on me gradually and as
time rolled by kept getting worse
until I can only describe my
condition as misery. Not only
did my backache but very seri-
ous trouble from the kidney se-
cretions existed.
Many a night I have not been
able to sleep owing to the fre-
quent action of the kidneys- I

continued using them until I had

Situation Outside of New Orleans
is Becoming Very Serious.
New Orleans, Aug. 23-—While
the fever in New Orleans is sub-
mitting to control the situation
intheconntiy districts is less
promising and both the state
board of health and the marine
hospital service now have their
hfliids full trying to send ade-
quate assistance to those settle-
ments which are struggling with
the disease. Scarcely a day
passes without a report of some
newly infected point and unless
doctors and nurses are sent
from here there is no assurance
that the fever will not spread.
The worst nest thus far discov-
ered is that at Leeville, near the
mouth of LBayou La Fourche,
where nearly two-thirds of the
settlement of 300 people have
been infected and where a num-
ber of deaths have occurred.
Assistance, however, is being
asked by other points m the
matter of physicians and nurses.
There is s steady increase of the
disease at Hanson City, in 81

has been scattered and is in-
creasing beyond the control of
the force thus far sent there.
