At Ottawa, Kan., the other day eight-
een young ladies and gentlemen drove
out to a swimming hole in the country
and all went in bathing. Of course,
they were properly equipped with bath-
ing costumes and a tent for the use
of the ladies as dressing room. But
while they were disporting themselves
in the water some joker stole every
article of female apparel in the tent,
even to the hats and jewelry, and the
ladies were forced to make the long
drive home in their dripping, clinging
bathing garments. Their faces looked
sorrowful.

Austin, Tex., Seut. 10.—Six days of
the second special session have gone by
and nothing has been done. The state
legislators left here Thursday apprised
of the fact that the appropriation bills
would be ready for consideration Mon-
day morning. Not enough members
came back to make a quorum in either
branch. The senate realized the hope-
lessness of getting a quorum and ad-
journed till Tuesday.
The house held two sessions Monday.
At the morning session there were
seven less than a quorum. In the after-
noon there were a couple of additions
to the morning crowd. Quite a num-
ber of members are off on important
business, some are sick, but the ma-
jority have evidently remained away
thinking there would be enough with-
out them. During their absence the
business of the state is suffering and
the expenses of the legislature are
going on at the rate of a little over
$1000 a day.
Monday evening the sergeant-at-
arms of the house was instructed to
telegraph all absent members who are
not sick to return to Austin post haste.
It is hoped there will, but it is not a
cinch. ,
The chaplains of both houses Monday
morning prayed for the recovery of

on their way home from picking cot-

their hands tied and they were march-

upon. A load of buckshot penetrated

eral Zanesville saloonists and finally
the crowd was wrought to such a pitch
that a fusilade of sticks, stones and
stale eggs was hurled at him. This
was followed by several of the mob
taking hold of him. He would un-
doubtedly have been killed but for the
timely arrival of Chief of Police
Tracy and a squad of police, who dis-
persed the mob.

Flowers for the Departed.
Galveston, Tex., Sept. 10.—Three
hundred people witnessed and partici-
pated in the memorial services given
under the auspices of the Spiritualist
Society of Galveston on the beach at
the foot of Twenty-First street. The
simple and impressive services con-
sisted in placing a monument of flow-
ers in the gulf and strewing the water
with garlands in honor of the memory
of those who perished in the storm of a
year ago. Mr. John Ring, the speaker
for the society, delivered a short ad-
dress which was followed by prayer
and the audience sang "Nearer, My
God; to Thee." The flowers were dis-
tributed and the audience spread
them upon the incoming tide at sunset.

How Clothes Are Blistered,
Many of the starches now being used
in washable fabrics contain ingredi-
ents that break and blister the goods
so that after a few washings they are
of little service. Defiance starch (made
in Nebraska) is manufactured with a
special view to obviating the difficulty.
It contains a solution that can in no
way injure the linen—but instead
gives it a smooth, glossy finish that
makes goods look new after each iron-
ing. Sold by leading grocers. Made
by Magnetic Starch Co., Omaha, Neb.

Caused Excitement.
Beaumont, Tex., Sept. 9.—Beaumont
was considerably wrought up Sunday
afternoon over a tremendous cloud of
smoke which became visible in the di-
rection of the oil field. That there was
an oil fire was evident; the smoke from
burning oil is unlike anything else.
The fire, fortunaely, was caused by
burning the waste oil from the Pales-
tine-Beaumont well. This oil, as it
flowed from the hill, found its way to
a ditch, or drain, which leads off to the
eastward from the hill and circles
around the north side until it finds a
western course to Taylor's bayou. The
fire started about 500 yards west of the
Sabine and East Texas railroad, near
the Kelley-Kiser well, and burned for
an hour or more, consuming all the oil
in the ravine for a distance of half a
mile. The protection inspectors from
the hill brought down their crew of
men. The ditch was dammed on both
sides of the fire, and when the oil be-
tween these two places burned the fire
died out. The great column of smoke
drew a large crowd.
Killed in a Pasture.
Strawn, Tex., Sept. 10.—Jesse Hart, a
young man about 18 years old, was
found dead in a pasture near his home.
Young Hart went to visit a neighbor
and passed through a wire gate which
is usually left open, and the supposition
is that after passing through some one
else closed the gate, so that when the
young man returned, riding fast, and
thinking that the passage was open
as usual, he ran into the gate. His
horse becoming entangled in the wire,
fell on him and killed him.
