A special meeting of the executive
cimmtttee of the Progressive League
was held last night Jo, the office of
Mr. Charles M. Rein. This meeting
w¿fcí*t &tíi£pg, one of the most enthus-
iastic which the committee has held
for many weeks, and many matters
were discussed relative to the upbuild-
ing of Orange;
Secretary Üíockey's bulletin shows
the following members of the com-
mittee present: Messrs. J. W. Link,
Harry Crager, Harry Ortmeyer, Pres-
ident P. H. Par well, Charles M. Rein,
and Mayor George W. Bancroft. Dr.
8. W. Shoiars HI, and William H.
Stark out of the city.
About the first matter to engage the
attention of the committee was the
building of the new opera house. The
list of subscriptions to date amounts
to something over |7000. President
Parwell and Secretary Hockey will
take this list and fill out the required
amount sometime during the coming
week and work on the opera house
will then begin In earnest. The com-
mittee are determined that Orange
shall have an opera bouse in order
that the citizens may have some place
of amusement for the coming winter.
The site has not yet been selected.
Several are in view, but the matter
will not be determined until the full
amount of the subscription Is In hand.
The opera house, however, is now ab-
solutely assured.
The road to Echo was next discuss-
ed, and this matter also Is practically
assured. The secretary will go over
the route in a few days, the cost of
building the road will be estimated,
and the work will then be done. Am-
ple funds will be provided to accom-
plish this scheme and there Is little
doubt but the county commissioners
will give a handsome donation to open
up this new avenue for trade to Or-
ange.
The secretary has been assiduously
at work for the past three weeks im-
pressing the Importance of Orange as
a commercial center upon the mind
of a prospector whom he has had in

In the new Addition to Orange Just
completed, one mile west of business
portion of City. This subdivision Is
high and dry, and has 10,000 feet ot
tow and while the details of the prop-
osition are. not yet ready for publica-
tion, in a very short time another
larfce industry employing many hands
wilj locate In this city. The secre-
tary's efTort. to secure new industries
for Orange has in no way abated and
his success along this, line wjil short-
ly be demonstrated. '
The secretary has also reported thklt
the question of removing the water
hyacinth from the Sabine river is now
being taken up with the secretary of
war, who promised several months ago
that part of the fund set apart for this
purpose would be used on the 8abine
river, Just -at the present time the
hyacinth is beginning to be trouble-
some to navigation further up the
river and if the pest can be removed
before It reaches Orange it will save
the lumbermen much Inconvenience.
Much literature is being distribu-
te J from the office of the secretary to
various points In the United States
Inviting bomeseeker and capitalist
alike to visit Orange, and good results
are bound to accrue from the work
now being done.
All the preliminaries to securing free
delivery of mall for Orange have been
complied with, the papers have been
forwarded to Washington by Post-
master Looney, and Orange may look
for sanee nows In this direction very
shortly.
The booklet descriptive of Orange
Is now ready for press and will be
published within a week and spread
broadcast over rhe country.
The Progressive League of Orange,
through its executive committee, is
leaving no stone unturned to build up
the commerce of the city and their
success along this line depends entire-
ly upon the Interest the members of
the League take in the work. The
League should be a pride to every cit-
izen of the city, who should see to It
that the support be given, since It is
a matter of absolute necessity that ev-
ery member pay his dues regularly In
order to maintain the League.
It will be of Interest to residents
of Orange to know that within a
few weeks outside capital win bore
here for oil. The executive commit-
tee discussed this matter last night
and will use every effort to persuade
other companies to endeavor to lo-
cate oil in Orange county.

Senator
Bailey's
Preference
Washington, D. C.,—Senator Bail-
ey's endorsement of Senator Gorman
as a Democratic presidential candi-
date, Is the one topic of comment
among Democrats here. It la con-
sidered the first concession on t^ia part
of a former Bryan supporter whose
Influence la still a potent factor In the
councils of his party.
Virginia Democrats, Includig Repre-
sentative* Hay and Lamb, who have
been quietly booming Senator Gorman,
are highly pleased over Senator Bail-
ey's expression of preference. They
no longer attempt to conceal the fact
that Gorman Is a candidate for the
nomination, although efforts in his be-
halt up to this time have been execut-
ed In a quiet manner.
The Washington Star, in discussing
Senator Bailey's expression and its
probable effect, says:
"The two men are not itr-as close an
agreement as they might be on the is-
sues of the day and Mr. Bailey shows
a spirit of compromise in accepting
the Maryland man tor leader. The
former Is a revenue tariff advocate,
the latter a protectionist. The former,
is a free silver man, the lattér a gold
standard. Ordinarily Mr. Bailey's de-
llverance would occasion great sur-
prise, but, in this hour of conference
and conciliation, It marks the anxiety
of the Democratic statesmen to get to-
gether and it possible put up a vigor-
ous fight tor the oontrol of the coun-
try.
«¿'Referring to the tact that Mr. Gor-
man' s course has at times raised up
opposition within the party, Mr. Bail-
ey thinks that the element has goae
over to the Republicans and should
aot now he counted in determining
the Democratic nominee. I* the Texa*
about this? He cannot

sistlng that they are the only Simon-
pure Democrats. The men who did
go over to the Republicans after Mr.
Bryan became the leader of the Dem-
ocratic party were those who agreed
with Mr. Gorman fully about national
questions, but, unlike him, cared more
for their convictions than for their
party." "
HALLETTSVILLE EXCITED.
Prognostications as.to What a Sulphur
Gaa Well Means.
Hallettsville, Lavaca Co., Texas,
June 3.—The excitement over the ar-
tesian well that is being bored for the
city la intense, and growing steadily.
The city has a system of waterworks
that is fed by four artesian wells at
an average depth of 500 feet. All of
these wells, when bored, emitted a
strong odor of sulphur. This, the fifth,
well, is being bored on a higher ele-
vation, and has been stink to a depth
of 850 feiet, at which a strong flow
of artesian water. Impregnated with
sulphur, was struck. Yesterday after-
noon City Bnglneed H. M. Matthew,
being convinced from the action of
the well and Its disposition-to. boir up
and recede that there was a pressure
of gas, applied a lighted match, the
gas Ignited and the phenomenon of
water and flame coming from the pipe
at once was exhibited. The gas flame
spurts and rises with the water. The
flow ot water Is estimated at 60,000
gallons. The well drillers who have
had experience In the Jefferson coun-
ty field, say that the log of the well Is
similar *jo' the strata found there.
There have been seen traces of oil
on the water aa It flows from the well.
The citizens ot the town and surround-
ing country are crowding at the well
and It la the opinion of F. Hilleje, the
seoretary ot the Lavaca Cotton Seed
Oil company, that oil In paying quan-
tities could be tapped in the next 200
toet. Property contiguous to the well
has become valuable. It haa been the
opinion ot experts that Lavaca oounty
held valuable deposits of oil. Much of

Regarding
Sunday
Closing
Orange, Texas, June 5, 1903.
To the City Authorities:—We .the pa-
loon men in Orange, noticing that the
Sunday law is to be rigidly enforced,
respectfully state that it is our desire
that only the .saloons be olosed and
that soda fountains, and other places
resorted to by ladles and children, -for
their pleasure, not be closed, If this
can be done consistently. While we
willingly submit to a rigid enforce-
ment of the law closing saloons, we
have no desire to have other places
closed and thereby cut off the Inno-
cent pleasures of others. Of course,
this matter is not in our power, but we
take this method of making known our
position.
