Quite a sensation was sprung in
Brownsville yesteackiy when it be-
came known that Timoteo Cas-
tafieda state collector of taxes at
Matamoros. had absconded taking:
with hinlbout $7000 belonging to
the state of Tainaulipas Mexico.
The arrival of the state auditor in
Matamoros probably had something
to do with the collector's hasty de-
parture as he no doubt knew that
early discovery of the shortage
would be made.
He is well known here having
had business connections with sev-
eral of our citizens) and the news
that state funds that had been
entrusted to his care had been mis-
appropriated was quite a surprise
to all and created quite a sensation.
He took the train here for the
interior either yesterday morning
or the day before and so far as we
are able to learn no trace of the
man has found up to date as he
gave no intimation of his destina-
tion before leaving.
CORN EXTRACT.
Said tc- be An Hluminant That Will
"Bust" the Standard Oil Com-
pany A special to the New York
vVorld from Washington says:
Corn will yet "bust" the Stand-
ard Oil trust Representative Mur-
dock of Kansas believes. He ex-
pects that with favorable legisla-
tion another use will be found for
the corn product of the Kansas
fields. Corn he says will yet fur-
nish light heat and power in his
State.
Mr. Murdock wants the govern-
ment to permit the use of corn in
making grain alcohol with" which
is to be mixed 10 per cent of wood
alcohol making it poisonous and
unfit for drinking purposes. Ger-
many makes 300000000 gallons of
this fluid and it is used for illumi-
nating purposes and for heating.
One bushel of corn costing not
more than 35 cents will make five
gallons of alcohol and after plants
arc installed it is estimated that this
alcohol can be manufactured at a
rate not to exceed $4 a ton.
Illuminating oil costs from 14 to
15 cents a gallon and Mr. Mur
dock says that grain alcohol as an
ilium inant is better than oil audi
there is no danger of explosion.
Mr. Murdock has a resolution
pending in the house directing the
secretary of agriculture to thor
oughly investigate the subject and
make a report to congress on it.

Set aside an hour for the chil
dren and preserve it sacredly from
all encroachments. Every home
where there are children should
have its "children's hour" an
houp when father and mother lay
off the grownup's mantle and be-
come acquainted with the children
in the guise of a playfellow. It
is the best loved playfellow who
receives the real confidence of these
little men and women and that
some confidant may be either father
or mother if only they are wise.
And so set aside each day an hour
when the children may be sure of
your company and good fellowship.
Make it in the early evening if
possible when all members are in
the home. Then put aside dress-
making worries and stock quota-
tions and enter into child interest
with genuine zest you can not
satisfy them with anything short
of the genuine; they are sure to
detect it i you dissemble or your
attention wanders. Teach them
to love reading by rending to them
until they in turn are anxious to
read to you. Tell them stories
and encourage them in the art
Teach them to master games. You
will be surprised in how short a
time they will have got beyond you
in most of the games. Iet us al
welcome their little muddy-footed
friends so there will be no occasion
to stand on a dark corner of the
street to whisper secrets. Chil-
dren whose parents are too busy or
preoccupied to practice any of
these arts will grow away from the
love of home wonderfully fast.

NOT EXACTLY CAPTURED.
First
Texas Flag Had Been Wrapped
Around Dead Officer.
In speaking of a letter from a
staff correspondent in Washington
city printed a couple of tiays ao
in a Texas daily Mr. George A.
Branard a member of the First
Regiment of Hood's Texas Brigade
stated that the information con-
cerning one of four Texas flags
reported to 'have been captured
during the war was somewhat mis-
leading in the use ot the word
"captured" as applied to the flag
of his regiment. It was in the fierce
fight at Antietam that two or three
men of the First Texas wrapped
their flag which had its staff shot
away around the body of an officer
of one of the companies who had
been killed in the ficht. It was
here that the flag was found later
by an officer of a Pennsylvania reg-
iment. Mr. Branard has it from
Mr. W. E. Barry of Navasota
who was captured in that battle
that a private brought the flag to
an officer of the Pennsylvania reg
iment after the fight. The latter
asked him where he got it. He
replied telling him that the flag
when founds was wrapped about
the dead body of an officer and was
taken there-from. The officer told
him that if the officer could be
found again and identified he
would have the flag again wrapped
around the body and buried
with it.
Mr. Barry who heard the con-
versation was asked by the officer
if he knew the flag. He gave the
information that it belonged to the
First Texas Regiment. The officer
then asked the private who had the
flag if he could again find the body
of the officer if possible to do so
and bury the flag with it. The
answer was that officer had already
been buried with many others
and he could not identify the body.
It seems that the regiment went
into that battle with 289 men and
came out with sixty.
The flag was easily identified be-
cause it had the names of several
desperate battles the regiment had
been in prior to that time.
The flags are soon to be returned
to the remnants of the regiments
that they had belonged to. Mr.
Branard himself was the flngbearer
of the regiment but was in the
hospital at the time of the battle of
Antietam on accouut of wounds
previously received.
The Confederate officer itseems
was killed while waving the flag.

On His Statehood Amendment to Indian
Appropriation Bill He Has Delivered
His Ultimatum.
The Chicago Record Herald's
Washington correspondent says:
A new filibuster is threatened
in the Senate. Back of it stands
Senator Bailey of Texas one of the
youngest and sturdiest Senators
determined to force the concession
which he demands or compel an
extra session. He will listen to
no compromise and no man in his
present frame of mind can be found
in either branch of Congress better
prepared by physique and mental
capacity to conduct a successful
filibuster. A large number of Tex-
ans have gone over into Oklahoma
arc? Indian Territory. Many of
them are friends of Senator Bailey.
He introduced todayas an amend
ment to the Indian appropriation
bill now pending in the Senate
that part of the Statehood bill relat-
ing to the admission of Indian Ter
ritory and Oklahoma as one State.
He has delivered his ultimatum.
He believes that the conferees of
the Senate and House now meeting
on the Statehood bill can not agree
upon a report acceptable to the
House and Senate and that the
sentiment in Congress is almost
unanimously in favor of the ad-
mission' of these two Territories.
