Brights Disease
And Diabetes
We desire to place in tne hands of
those afflicted with Brights Disease and
Diabetes a 36-page pamphlet that will
prove of intense interest. It is not an
ordinary pamphlet, such as is com-
monly used to advertise medicines, but
is principally made up of reports of
scientifically conducted tests in a large
variety of cases, showing 87 per cent of
recoveries in these hitherto incurable
diseases. The specifics employed in
these tests are known as the Ftil ton
Compounds and the results obtained
prove conclusively that these diseases
so long fatal have at last yielded to
medical science.
The pamphlet is free. Write to John

Recaptured by a Ruse.
Waco: Late Sunday night John
Barr, who was awaiting the result of
his appeal, escaped from the county
jail and after two hours of liberty
was recaptured. One of the gaurds
opened the cell to hand Barr a mid-
night lunch, as a special accomoda-
tion, whereupon the prisoner lowered
his head, made a rush and, butting
theofficer over, made his way to the
street. The guard quickly donned
suitable attire, put burnt cork on his
face and hung about the haunts of
the fugitive until the capture was
made after a hard fist fight, the fu-
gitive remarking that he “would not
surrender to a negro.” He seeemed
much relieved later on ascertaining
that his captor and pugilistic superior
was a white man. Barr is awaiting
his appeal from a verdict of two
years for robbery of a freightcar..
Shot His Wife and Himself.
Mountain Home, Ark: Mrs. James
Russell was killed by her husband who
lives on Big Creek in the eastern pant
of Baxter County.
The tragedy grew out of a divorce
suit at the recent term of the Chancery
Court, at which the wife secured a
divorce and the custody of the only
child. When she presented the court’s
order for the child, Russell shot her,
and as she started to run shot her
again, inflicting fatal wounds. He then
turned the gun on himself and inflicted
a wound that is likely to prove fatal.
Upon Closer Examination Seems to
Grow Much Bigger.
Washington, Oct. 24.—The Govern-
ment of the United States is willing
to enter into contracts with corpora-
tions or individuals for the construc-
tion of any portion or all of the Pana-
ma Canal. This statement was made
by Secretary Taft while discussing,
conditions upon the Isthmus and the
policy of the Government.. There Is
some doubt in his mind whetner any
concern, would be willing to. undertake
the excavation of the Culbera cut, be-
cause of the magnitude of that work..
It is not the excavation that will be
so difficult so much as the disposition,
of the earth taken from the cut. But
as to the other work the Government
will be ready to enter into contracts,
for its completion as soon as it is de-
termined what type of cnal shall be
constructed. It is stated that con-
tracts could not be made during the
preliminary stages of the work be-
cause the Government had to prose-
cute the construction until its officers
knew what was to be done and had a
sufficient knowledge of the conditions
to pass upon bids and make judicious
contracts.
Bad Wreck on Rio Grande,
Brownwood: A bad wreck occurred
west of here between Bangs and Santa
Anna. A string of cars got loose,
with brakes off, Monday morning and
dashed into a freight train, causing
the engine to explode and several cars
were burned. The train crew escaped
by jumping. A man riding in the ca-
boose, name not learned, is missing
and it is feared that he was killed,
some believing he was burned.
The Government is making some
effort to decrease the amount of com-
paratively worthless printing now be-
ing done in the way of public docu-
ments. The movement will meet
general approval.
If you have found fault unfairly at
once seek to make proper amends.
Keep your promises even though
the doing so causes you inconveni-
ence.
Washington, Oct. 24.—“The Sage of
Medicine Lodge,” as Jerry Simpson
was called, was in many respects one
of the most unique characters adorn-
ing the history of Congress. He was
swept into the Fifty-Second Congress
by a wave of Kansas Populism, charg-
ed with the task of reforming the
whole Government and living down
the only information his colleagues
had of his personality—that he wore
no socks. The latter task he succeed-
ed in accomplishing, in fact, although
he never quite lost the title “Sockless
Jerry.” His legislative accomplish-
ments consisted in turning popular
Eastern sentiment regarding Populism
from scorning ridicule to respectful
consideration during his six years in
Congress, when he was swept out by
another Kansas wave.
There was not a question of Con-
gressional action during that time on
which Jerry Simpson did not think and
on which his conclusions were not
strikingly and entirely different from
those of any one else. His language and
manner of speech were quaint in the
highest degree. Jerry Simpson always
tried to make his adversaries look
ridiculous, always threw new light on
every subject, made a personal friend
of every member of the House and his
political opponents declared never
changed a vote on any question of leg-
islation. As an entertainer and as a
personality the House came to have
the warmest regard for him.

We Haven’t Lost Him.
» New York: Carrying an ear trum-
pet and soliciting alms made Mr.
William Timberlake an easy victim
for the police, who were looking for
a man of his description who had been
passing checks on Broadway. Tim-
berlake said he was a stranded ranch
owner from Edna, Texas, and he waat-
ed money to get back home. Several
saloon keepers identified him as, the
man who had passed forged checks.
Veteran W. A. Whatley Dead.
Naples: W. A. Whatley died at
Rusk on Oct. 21, while on a visit to
his daughter, Mrs. Will Rand. Mr.
Whatley was 71 years old and a citi-
zen of Texas since 1861. He was a
member of Company H, Nineteenth
Texas Cavalry, Parson’s Brigade.
After the war he served as Sheriff of
Cass County for nearly eight years
and was noted for efficiency as an
officer. He was a brother of Col. Dolph
Whatley, former superintendent of
the State penitentiary.
The Race is Furious.
Mexia: The grading forces engaged
in extending the Trinity and Brazos
Valley Railway from this point to
Houston are being continually in-
creased and the contractors at work
on the Houston and Texas Central
cut-off to Navasota are constantly add-
ing new men and teams to their out-
fits. Every effort is being made, in
fact, to complete both projects at the
earliest possible moment and it will
not be long before dirt will be flying
over every foot of the distance be-
tween Mexia and the objective points
of each of them.
The Trinity and Brazos Valley ex-
pects to begin laying rails between
Jewett and Mexia inside of thirty days
and it is possible that the Houston and
Texas Central will be doing likewise
within the same length of time. The
race of these two roads southward
promises to become historic.
Policy Holders Union on Tapis.
Austin: State Insurance Commis-
sioner Clay has announced that a
policy holders’ union is to be organ-
ized in Texas, and a meeting will be
held at Dallas, November 15, for the
purpose of formulating plans for the
organization. This is a result of a
number of letters and inquiries receiv-
ed by the insurance commissioner
from policy holders of different com-
panies in Texas, requesting the in-
surance commission to head a plan
and call a meeting. It is figured out
that there are probably 150,000 policy
holders in Texas, the New York Life,
Mutual Life and Equitable having a
total of 65,000 in this state.
The ultimate purpose of the organi-
zation is that the Texas policy holders
may have a voice in the selection of
trustees and directors of these com-
panies that they may be better pro-
tected.

297 Main St
Dallas, Texas
New Orleans, La., Oct. 25.—The®
clear record of nearly a week without
a death from yellow fever was broken
yesterday when by early afternoon
two had been made known to the au-
thorities. For six days previously
pot a single case had resulted fatally.
The authorities attached no impor-
tance-whatever to the breaking of the
record, insisting that while there were
still cases under treatment of which
there are now something less than a
hundred, the probability of mortality
must be taken into consideration.
They contend that the disease has
been practically wiped out, each day
recording fewer cases. New cases
have developed to practically nothing
in spite of the fact that there are prob-
ably more than 50,000 people here now
who were absent in August, and there
is virtually no appearance of new foci.
The fever situation itself attracts
little attention now in the face of the
early coming of the President and the
widespread relaxations of quaran-
tines. Space devoted to it in the
newspapers is dwindling and public
fear has absolutely disappeared. The
weather moderated somewhat today,
and there is a forecast of showers to-
night and tomorrow, but it is felt that
frost is near at hand and that few
mosquitoes will survive until it comes.
Public attention is now almost ex- ,
clusively centered on the coming of
the President, and that is the magnet
which i-s drawing large crowds to the
city from the surrounding country.
The city is still in the hands of the
decorators and enough of their work ■
is visible to indicate the decorations
will be on a more elaborate scale than
ever before in the city’s history.
One of the four gins at Denton was
destroyed by fire about 2 o’clock
Sunday morning. It was known as
the Jasper gin and was a round-bale
gin. The loss, it is claimed, was
$7000 or $8000, and it was insured for
$5400.
J. J. Martin was knocked down by
a switch engine in the Santa Fe yards
Sunday and very painfully hurt about

Territory Cotton Raisers Want 11c.
Guthrie, Ok.: Through the efforts
of the Oklahoma-Indian Territory
Farmers’ Union, which now has 1,600
sub-organizations throughout the two
Territories, the cotton planters of
Greer County—the biggest growers of
cotton in Oklahoma—have authorized
the entire crop to be stored at Hous-
ton, Tex. All members of the union
farmers are petitioned to unite with
the members of the organization to
force a 11c market in this way. On
all cotton stored in this manner the
farmers can borrow money at 6 per
cent interest. T. A. Putnam of Man-
gum was elected business agent of the
union, and will direct the shipment of
the cotton, as well as attend to buy-
ing coal in the car load and other ne-
cessities, which the farmers desire to
buy for the winter. A resolution was
adopted to hold cotton for 11c.
Similar action has been taken in
Comanche County, also a large grow-
er of cotton. There are fifty-three
local unions in the county, and a res-
olution to hold for a 11c market was
adopted unanimously.
COLLIN’S CAPITAL ABLAZE.
Fire at McKinney destroys $40,000
Worth of Property.
McKinney, Tex., Oct. 24.—Fire at
an early hour this morning burned
the Johnson block in-the heart of the
city. In the block, were a hardware
store, a furniture store, Shaver’s res-
taurant, Drs. Wiley & Buckner’s of-
fice and library and Neatthery &
Bumpas’ undertaking establishment,
all of which were wiped out.
At 2:30 a. m.—The fire is now un-
der control. The loss will aggregate be-
tweeen $30,000 and $40,000, with the
building partially coveered by insur-
ance. The owners of the hardware
and furniture stores, Means, Weathery
& Bumpas, reside at Farmersville,
where they have other stores, and
it was not possible to learn the
amount of their insurance or the ex-
act amount of their damage.
One young man who was a stu-

REBUILDING AN EMPIRE.
------------1-----------------------
New Blood and New Activities Are
Awakening Russia.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 25.—Antici-
pating a big industrial revival in Rus-
sia as a result of the close of the war,
there is a regular influx of foreigners
seeking commercial opportunities and
concessions, including a liberal sprink-
ling of Americans, who believe the
time is especially propitious for them.
The disturbed political conditions and
the strikes, however, are temporarily
engrossing the attention of the Gov-
ernment. Besides this the Minister of
Finance is devoting all his attention
to the new loan negotiations and up
to the present time the concession
hunters have made no progress.
A representative of an American
syndicate has submitted elaborate
plans for the prospective railroad con-
necting Trans-Caucasia, Central Asia
and Tashkend with the Trans-Siber-
ian and Tomsk line, which is not only
important strategically in faciliating
mobilization on the Indo frontier, but
because it traverses the well-watered
lake region. The road involves the
expenditure of $15,000,000. The syn-
dicate asks the Government to guaran-
tee the interest on the bonds and to
grant mining and other concessions.
Robert Gross, representing Ameri-
can locomotive manufacturers, is after
franchises for new equipment, of

to be sent up in the Black Sea, and
which are now in the Baltic, is also
awaiting developments.
The Government naval contracts
and big contracts for electrfication of
the street car systems of St. Peters-
burg and Warsaw are also about to
be let. The Westinghouse people are
bidding for both of these electrical
contracts, and a representative of
Ouray, Verner and Sellers McKee, of
Pittsburg, are bidding for the former.
