The demand for iron and steel may
always be aecepted as reliable evidence
of the business prosperity of the coun-
try. The demand for steel means con-

mand for steel has seldom been more
pressing than now; hence another pros-
perous period is in sight.

From an eye witness we learn
that Mr. Bradford had gone to
the river Saturday afternoon,
taking with him a new boat and
fish net, and selecting a place
near A. P. Warren’s field stretch-
ed a rope across the stream
ready for setting the net next
morning, then with his little son
stayed that night with Timmon
Ford.
Sunday morning he repaired
to the place selected for setting
the net, and finding that the riv-
er had fallen considerably during
the night he said to those who
were with him that he would go
across in the boat and lower the
rope so they could manage the
boat by it properly while setting
the net, and crossing in the beat
he was seen in the act of untying
the rope to fall forward on the
bank, and as calls to him elicited
no answer and his strenuous
breathing could be heard Mr.
Ford swam across to him and
found him dead.
Mr. Bradford was about 57
years of age, a member of the
Christian church, an industrious
and thrifty farmer, a good neigh-
bor and citizen, and his bereaved
family have the unfeigned sym-
pathy of The Index and their

A Good Crop of Candidates.
The next gubernatorial con-
test promises to afford a wide
field for wark by the astute
politician. No less than four or
five contestants will bo in the
running, with a few outlying
precincts yet to report. With
Judge Bell and the Honorables
Campbell and Colquitt eut for
the position of governor of the
imperial state of Texas, it seems
the better part of discretion for
small fry politicians to strangle
their ambition and remain out of
the fight. That it will be a fight
and a jim-dandy one, to. is a
foregone conclusion. At this
early stage of the campaign, too
early indeed to have anything
like a sure line on the runners,
it would appear that the man
that polls more votes than
our neighbor, Judge Bell, will
receive Wise's support. But

One of the main characteristics
of the strikes usually inaugurat
ed in Chicago is mob violence,
aad procedure of this kind never
fails to weaken the cause of the
strikers. The lessons learned in
the great packing house strike
last year seem to have exerted
no lasting effect, and if the lead-
ers of the men who are now out
are wise they will curb every ap-
pearance of lawlessness with an
iron hand. Methods of that
kind never fail to recoil on those
who are behind them.—Ex.
