CORNGROP A FAILURE
Iu Texas Hot Withering Winds
Have Blasted It During The
Past Teu Days.
Dallas Tex. June 15. Hereto
tore The News has published re
ports that great damage had been
done to tho corn crop by the drouth.
riiu latest in formation is that the
crop will be almost a total failure.
There are lew fields in this State
which now give promise of much
of a yield. For ten days or more
withering hot winds have blofn
over the prairies of Texas and
their effect has been as deleterious
as a blast from a furnaue. Unless
prompt action is taken by the
farmers the results of this failure
will be very serious to them in-
leed. The State was short on fod-
ler and feed stuffs of ail kinds
because of the failure of lus-t year.
I'liere is a remedy however and
those who have tried it urge its
adoption by all tillers of the soil.
There is still plenty of time to
raise good fodder crops" said Col
onel .J. B. Simpsou to-day in dls-
cussitig the situation. "If the farm-
ers will withoutdelay plow up their
corn Gelds and plant kaflir corn
milo maize and sorghum they will
find that the harvest will furnish
hem with an ample supply of the
very best fodder. For more than a
year now they have been paying
out good money for this kind of
feedstuff. It is folly to do so. The
crops are sure and will thrive in
this kind of weather.
'This advice is based upon prac-
ical experience. I can not urge too
strongly its acceptance. Texas is a
great State and if intelligence is
used it will be found that there
need be no suffering and but little
loss by reason of the failure of a
single crop. Go ahead and plant
one of the three that I have named
and yon will have the best feed-
stuff for your stock all next win

thai I he sober second thoughts of

charity bos have all repaid their
board uud keep a thousandfold;
they can glory iu the fact that
whrover 25000 Amentum troops
have faced an enemy the com-
mander of the men was a West

reputation of the boys from West
Point has become a synonym of
honor integrity and the highest
credit in the country. They have
savetl the country millions of dol
lars and thounnds of lives 'and
the 'charity boys' will no doubt
uphold in the present the proud
supremacy of the United States.'

DIED FROM HYDROPHOBIA.
Mtfi Irene Baker Passed Away at
Sfcitt Antonio After Suffering
Horribly fr Twenty-Four
Honrs.
San Ankitiio 'IVx June 15.
MUs frentj Baker asjrd 19 years1
died from hydrophobia this morn-
ing suffering horribly for twenty-
ftur hours he fur death relieved
her. She was bitlen by a rabid
dug three wiks ago bnt as the
wmmd was promptly uanterized
and other usual remedies resorted
to it was thought no serious re-
sults would follow. Rabies how-
ever appeared Friday and she
dud Uus morning. Miss Baker
had jusi graduated from the High
Sehonl and was one of the most
popular young ladies in the city.
Thus is the third death from
hydrophobia here iu four months.
Bay City Rice.
The rbe development around
Bay City iiieivn-es m magnitude
each day. The four great pump
ing plants iu four mi I est of that
plaeu are all tunning day and
nielli and as a result the rice
fields are as fresh and geen as a
May meadow while all the balance
of the country is parched dusty
and dry suffering for rain. A
passenger from up the State who
on me iu on the Cane Belt remark-
ed that miming into the fresh rice
fields around Bay City was like
coming ioto paradise from the ba-
lance of the drouth stricken State.
The twines of Hie pumping plants
that are ru tni tr are Uie Mata-
gmdn the lUy Cny the Colorado
and the Moorc-C'ortejv These four
will waier between 80000 and 40-
000 act e of rice this year. The
fifth large canal one of the new
ones within two miles of Buy
City exptcts to start up the last of
the week to be followed by tho
Sexton Stewart and Cleveland ca-
nals further down the river.
The two rice mills are well uur-
der way. The Bay City mill
building proper is up und enclosed
and the machinery is being placed.
The Colorado Valley mill buildings
are well under way und the two
mammoth structures remind tra-
veling people of Crawley. Vic-
toria Advocate.
OWES IT TO HIS WIFE.
There is a touch of gallantry not
often found in the Congressional)
Directory where each member re-
cords his autobiography in the
story of the life of Robert W. Da-
vis of Florida. He tells of his
early struggles and subsequent
achievements aud iu the latest
edition of the Directory adds:
"Before reaching his majority lie
was married to Miss Peter Mercer
and to her inllnense ia due whatever
of success hu has nttained."
Many other members doubtless
owe much to their wives; but he is
the only one to make public confes-
sion of the obligation. Galveston
