'Austin, Tex., April 82.—O. B. Colquitt this evening formally announced
Kit candidacy for governor of Texas, subject to the Democratic primal les and
convention in 1906. The full text of the announcement follows:
To the people of Texas: I am a candidate for governor of Texas, subject
to the Democratic primaries and convention yet to be called In 19M.
I regret so early an opening of a political campaign, but this unequivocal
Statement from me at this time is due to my friends throughout the state.
At a proper time I will furnish a statement of my views on Important
public questions and follow such statements with.an active canvass of the
State.
I deem It unnecessary to say more now than that the government should
be administered lor the benellt of the people and to promote their happinf-ss
and prosperity. No tribute should be exacted from them beyond what is
needed for an efficient administration of the government, and this should be
collected with theJeast expense and by a just and equitable tax system.
Corporate rights and property should be fairly dealt with and their Just
rights protected, but they should be regulated and controlled by the state; the
State's domination by them should not be permitted. All constitutional guar-
antees of local self-government should be preserved in good faith, and laws
for enforcing such guarantees should be justly and ilrinly administered. Vio-
lence to person or property should nol be allowed, but Just protection to
aach should be afforded.
I court the fullest Inquiry Into all my official acts. The people have a
right to know how their pubilc servants are doing their duly.
Austin, Tex-., April 22, 1905, O. B. COLQUITT.

AGENTS BITTER
AGAINST HYDE
New York, April 2?.—The report of James II. Ilyile, first vice president of
the TCqultable Life Assurance Society to tlie general agents has provoked
a feeling of resentment among many of the agents, who declare that Mr.
Hyde has Insulted them. Joseph Howes, general agent of the society at Bal-
timore, after a conference with Second Vice President Tarhell, this evening
eaid: •
"No reply to Mr. Hyde will lie made nt the present time, but T will say
that we all feel insulted by Mr. Hyde's letter to us and we Intend to carry
the fight to the bitter end."
An agent who would not permit his name to be used, said that charges
Were being formulated in a letter lo Mr. Hyde, in which he would be accused
of utiwairantably spending thousands of dollars of the society's money
every year. Among the charges that will be are that Mr. Hyde draws a
salary of $100,000 which he does not earn; that he gives $16,000 a year to a
rptinue of servants who are not in the employ of the society, but are paid
out of the society's* funds; that he employs a force of thirty clerks whoso
salaries amount to $75,000, and are not needed by the society, and, Dually,
that among these thirty clerks are three Trcndi secretaries who are em-
ployed by Mr. Hyde exclusively to work for the Socletic l'Allance Fruncaise,
but whose salaries are paid by the society.
Dr. Wyman has called a meeting of the
executive officers of ilie Stat* board of
health on May IS.
It Is regarded by the se^ntlsts who
expect to be in attendance as especial-
ly fortunate that, wbile the meeting la
In progress. they will have unusual fa-
cilities for studying the latest Im-
provements In the ventilation anil san-
itation of railway passenger cars. Si-
multaneously wltfh the meeting of the
health specialists will be the meeting
of the International Railway Congress,
with Its great exhibition of cars and
railway appliances, for which con-
gress has granted the use of the
"Whit" Lot." In the exhibit will be
many devices for the ventilation and
heating of passenger cars, a matter
that is just now being widely discussed
by health boards, scientific men and
railroad authorities.
Numerous teats will be made In the
presence and under the direction of
distinguished health officers from dif-
ferent parts of the country. The tests
will consist of a series of experiments
to demonstrate how quickly and how
completely the air in passenger
coaches can be changed. It being the
already expressed opinion of sclenttllc
men that public health demands an
entire change of air at least once in
every six minutes.

OUTLOOK IS
VERY GLOOMY
Scarcity of Good Stock Causes High
Range of Prices.
New York, April 22.—Not in a long
time, if ever before in the history of
the modern horse market have good
and sound horses been as scarce as
they are to-day. Whereas & few sea-
sons ago shipments from the west to
the east were so large that the market
was overwhelmed with stock. The
present condition of afTairs is largely
attributed to the fact that some Ave or
six years ago a large number of west-
ern dealers did very little breeding.
Almost all the dealers In this local-
ity liave entered some of their best
stock for the coming horse fair. The
fair will last one week, and a big at-
tendance is expected. Great Is the ex-
pectation over the trick riding, bronco
busting and steer-roping which Lucille
Muihall Is booked to perform. Miss
TiUclle Muihall is the daughter of Co-
lonel "Jack" Muihall, who owns some
80,000 acres of the finest ranch land
In Oklahoma Territory. While Miss
Muihall Is onty 18 years old, she Is the
champion of the great southwest at
roping steers and her prowess has
been acknowledged by a $1,000 gold
medal, which was awarded to her at
the last Forth Worth rattle conven-
tion. Numerous other events of equal
interest are on the programme, such
as horse racing for all classes, driving,
riding and a special performance In
the way of some untrained ponies, to
be ridden for t!he first time by a crowd
of imported cows punchers.
As usual, Flss, Doerr & Carroll nre
doing a rushing business in the sale
of horses, and on Monday they dis-
posed of about 535 horses of ail kinds.
The prices which they brought were
unusually good. Heavy draught ani-
mals In particular sold very fast and
brought from $250 all the way up to
$100 each. At private sale Henry
Zukerman purchased a pair of fine hay
coach horses, while a handsome bay
cob was sold to L. C. Crawford. An-
other sale was reported of a pair of
good browns to C. T. Zimmerman.
Van Tassel! A Kearney's new mart
was crowded yesterday, and the bid-
ding for all grades of horses was ex-
cellent. Vehicles of all descriptions
sold freely, anil very satisfactory
prices were brought all around. About
75 horses were sold. There was a fine
bunch of bays, blacks, cobs and long-
tjilied, and thi
still livelier buslne
weeks.
W. D. Orand, the his American horse
exchange dealer, has had as much in
the way of trade for the past week
us he could well handle. Some of bis
stock, under the hammer, netted ex-
ceedingly good prices. At one sale the
chestnut mare, Maud Keller, brought
$550 and the black gelding, Cruiser,
$510. Mr. Grand's big sale of the sea-
son takes place Thursday nlglit. It
will consist of the usual consignment
Csort House of Breathitt County Was
Aa Aiscsa!, According to
Witnesses.
Louisville. Ky.. April 22.—W. D. Back,
circuit clerk of Breathitt county, was
the first witness Introduced by tha
commonwealth In the trial of James
Hurgls this morning. He produced the
bail-bond books of Breathitt county
for the purpose of showing that Jim
White was out oa a bond for murder
at the time his brother, Anz White,
claims to have taken a pistol from
James Hargis and gone to the court
house to assist Curtis Jett and Hiram
Hays in killing five men. Anse White
fs alleged to hare said his reason for
making Hargis believe he would assist
In the wholesale killing was for the
purpose of influencing the Breathitt
county Judge to the side of Tom White
when the case came to trial. The court
refused to permit the witness to read
the bonds, but a copy was ordered
placed on the records. The same proce-
dure was practically pursued regarding
the bonds of Curtis Jett and" Hiram
Hays. The next witness was Woodson
McCord, sheriff of Clarke county, who
arrested Jett May 10, 1903. He was
not allowed to tell of Jin alleged con-
versation with Alex. Hargis.
Henry B. Noble, superintendent of
schools of Breathitt county, said he
was at the court house shortly after
the shooting of Cockreli and saw El-
bert Hargis, Jett, Britten and Splcer in
the hallway. Witness was clerk for
Hargis and said he had seen guns and
pistols in an office room on the second
floor. He also swore that he had seen
John Abner, John Smith, Mose Keltner.
Asbury Ppieer, Jesse Splcer, Curtis
Jett. Britton and Tom White in the
store at various times before the shoot,
ing of Cockreli and Marcum.
Henry Freeman testified that he had
sworn to an affidavit charging Hargis
and Callahan with tlie murder of Cock- j
red. The witness said he passed the |
court house Just before the shooting
and saw Jim Hargis with Alex, and
Albert Hargis and Ed Callahan. Wit-
ness did not look back when he heard
shots fired and did not know who had
been shot or did the shooting.
Charles Stroher. bookkeeper at the
Winchester bank, testified that Felix
F ltn«r had deposited $13'>0 in the
bank Sept. 4. 13(M. and the books of
the bank were offered by the witness
to prove his statement. They also
Gordon Cummlngs. also of this city,
should be given the position.
The Booth Americans concluded that
as the president had insisted upon
making W. C. Fox the director of the
bureau, they acquiesced because the
United States pavs M per cent of the
exnenao. they would exercise their pre-
rogatives and choose their own chief
clerk according to the rules.
Thev held an examination of candi-
dates who presented themselves. Ail
the candidates passed the examination
with flying colors. As it was entirely
an oral elimination there were no pa-
pers to be marked and consequently
no method at giving any one of them
rating. The question therefore had to
be settled by rote. The representatives
of Chile and Mexico led the tight
against Gordon Cummlnga. the presi-
dent's choice, and they succeeded in
detailing him 8 to 5 In favor of Wells.
Mr. Wells Is 3# years old and spfeaks
Spanish, as well as English and Ger-
man.
GOES ToTtARVARD.
Princely Gift Left to Institution by
Late Wm. Milton.
Pittsfield. Mass., April 22.—According
to the executors' bond filed here to-
day. the late Wm. F. Milton, of Pitts-
field and New York, whose fortune goes
to Harvard University, left an estate
of 11.304,000. Of this amount $1,250,000
Is In personal property and $1775.000
real estate.
In this will Mr. Milton made specific
bequests of $177,500. so that Harvard
will get over a million. But this es-
tate does not go to Harvard until after
the death of Mrs. Milton, so that under
successful management it will no doubt
greatly Increase.

is reported, used strong pressure to
cause them to ugree to a plan of arbi-

the executive committee of the employ-

several hours, that body decided that
they could not and would not accept
Judge Tuley or any one person as an
arbitrator of a demand involving the
garment workeis' strike, declaring, as
they have three times before, that that

The labor leaders held a brief eon-

only one who would speak. He confined
himself to the statement that matters

nothing could be done before Monday,
and that for the present he did not ex-

OFFERS AID TO CHICAGO.
Large Banking Interests Willing
Float Dunne's Bonds.
Chicago, April 2'2.—Mayor Dunne has
received an offer from the head of a
large banking company for the pur-
chase of Mueller bill certificates. These
certificates were authorized by the
Mueller law. under which Chicago is
authorized to purchase or build street
railways, and it Is by their sale that
the city expects to raise the money
necessary for municipal ownership of
rtreet car lines.
The offer came from a prominent
hanker of New York, and contained to-
gether with the offer to purchase the
certificates, a proposal to organize a
syndicate to purchase atl of the securi-
ties which Chicago rimy find necessary
to flout in the establishment of its mu-
nicipal street railway system.
John T. Sprat ley, the well known
dealer, says; "If you can only get
the horses, why there is not the least
trouble in disposing of them." He sojjl

tuberculosis, which will take place in
this city May 18'and 19. So wide-
spread and so deadly has become this
disease that it Is now generally re-

geon General Wyman of the United

Austin. Tex.. April 22.—William H.
Warren of Austin, a well-known civil
engineer, was yesterday appointed as-
sintant city engineer of the city of Aus-
tin. The appointment was made by
City Engineer C. E. Leonard, In ac-
cordance with an ordinance passed by
the city council Thursday night. The
salary attached to the office is $75 per
month and the appointment is for a
period of two months, and possibly
longer, on account of the street paving
which Is now In progress, and Mr.
Leonard has to devote most of his time

possible for him to give attention to
the details of his position as city en-
gineer. He, therefore, requested * the
council to allow him an assistant. Mr.
Warren assumed the duties of his of-
fice yesterday, although the ordinance
making the appropriation has not as
yet been signed by Mayor Shelley. It
will likely be signed to-day.

on the private car monopoly. A num-

Cocaine Peddler Convicted.
Cincinnati. April 22.—Wm. Jenkins,
who, the police say. acts as an agent
for some druggist, peddling cocaine
among rfver-front Inhabitants, was sent
to the workhouse to-day for three
months. The arrest Is a result of a
movement to stamp out all transactions
In the drug. The police claim that a
very large percentage of the cilme of
the city is directly attributable to the
effects of cocaine. Persons under Its
Influence are far more desperate and
unmanageable than those addicted to
alcohol, they say. Charles Finch, who
a day or two ago deliberately threw a
little girl from a ninety-foot viaduct,
the child escaping death by a seaming
miracle.-was a cocaine fiend and crazed
by the drug. __
