.The year 1900 will be remembered
in Texas as one of too much rain with
loss of life and property.
How can Schulenburg ever ex-
pect to be more than a village
without adequate school facilities.
Citizens would not have to send
away their children to be educated
if we had a decent school building.

The weatbes clerk is dividing time
with the politicians in attracting the
attention of the people of Texas. In
fact the W. C. is fast becoming a
monopolist.
We have all the munitions of war—all the best formu-
ars for preparing insecticides, spraying mixtures, etc. Try
;he NAPHTA FLAKES as a disinfectant. Flea and
chicken mite exterminator. It's good; try it, from
Paul Breymann, Druggist.

There are towns not as large as
Schulenburg which have school
buildings that cost as much as
$12,000. Let's get together and
build a fine school—it will pay.
The I. & G. N: Ry. Company has
kindly volunteered to transport, free
of charge, all cotton seed consigned
to farmers whose crops Will have to
be replanted on account of the recent
overflows. The I. & G. N. people are
alright. _____
The fact that Schulenburg has not
" jcured a system of water works,
and a brewerydoes not
indicate that the town will-never have
them. The enterprises spoken of are
needed., Sticker will continue
to hope foi\ their attainment—sooner
or later. \
Editor Chase of the San Antonio
Herald recently took ocoasion to criti-
cise the action of the commissioners'
court of Bexar eounty, with the result
that he was arrested, fined and order-
ed to jail. "Freedom of the press" in
Texas is a myth. And all for the
want of a just libel law.
As to whether "misery loves com
pany," might be ascertained by cor
respondence with Aastin and Waco.
Such, however, would prove an ex
ception no doubt in the case of these
two unfortunate cities. The rush of
waters were indeed devastating, and

Hon. J. W. Bailey, after a most
brilliant and successful campaign, in

the ftre of his utterances were heard
over the state, is again at his post of
duty in Washington. His election to
the United States senate is assured
and all Texas loves the brainy young
statesman.

Congressman Hawley will be
candidate for re-election, and as be-
fore remarked, it behooves the demo-
crats of this district to "get into their
hustling clothes," as it were, and
place the Tenth back in the demo-
cratic column. In the opinion of the
Sticker the democrats could not do
better than nominate Dr. I. E. Clark

After all, the delay and damage
caused to the farmers by the continu
ous rains and overflows may possibly
prove a blessing in disguise. It is
conceded on all sides that if a very
large cotton crop is raised the price
will be exceedingly low; whereas, as
proven by the last crop, if there be
no enormous crop the price will be
high. Might as well look on the
bright side.
Excessive rains are causing some
loss of life and entailing great finan
ciai losses in many parts of Texas
The city of Waco has met with the
most appaling disaster—six or more
persons drowned, many honses swept
away by the raging waters and thous
ands of dollars worth of goods dam
aged or totally destroyed. All one
has to be thankful for is that the dis
aster was no worse.
Roos Brothers on last Friday
sold to Mr. Sam Lewis their prop
erty on the corner of Grand
Avenue and Lott street, the con
sideration being $4800. The lot
contains two store buildings, one
occupied by O. & R. B. Roos and
the other but recently vacated by
R. C. Flick, the saddler. This is
a splendid piece of property and
Mr. Lewis informs us that it is his
intention to erect a substantial
2-story brick on the lot some time
in the future.—Yoakum Times.

Bowing to the Law.
Representatives of the press of
Texas have not failed to note with
approval the action of Mr. Henry
C. Pierce, the president of the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company, in
voluntarily coming into Texas and
surrendering himself to the Texas
authorities to answer whatever
charges may be brought against
against him for violation of our
anti-trust laws. %
Such conduct indicates on Mr.
Pierce's part a disposition to honor
and comply with the requirements
of the laws of Texas and should
bespeak for him the fair and un-
predjudiced treatment wiiich is the
due of every man regardless of his
condition or character of business.
There is no purpose in this state
to oppress or persecute any kind
of capital or business. The object,
in fact, in framing our anti-trust
laws has been to protect business
iand prevent extortion and monopo-
ly only. If in the opinion of the
courts these protective statutes are
constitutional, the public expect a
faithful obedience to them. Suits
or prosecutions to secure this end
are not vindictive, nor based on
prejudice," and the conclusions of
the courts are entitled to the high-
est degree of respect in the prem-
ises.
It may have been natural and
but an assertion of the right of
opinion for the Waters-Pierce Oil
Company to test the anti-trust law
of Texas in the courts of last resort,
and no hostile sentiment should be
indulged toward the corporation if,
after the courts have decided that
it was unlawfully prosecuting its
business in this state, it yields
gracefully to the decree and mani-
fests an honest purpose to now
^)bey the law.'
The action of its president is an
indication in the most practical
way that this intention is now hon-
estly formed, and both Mr. Pierce
and Texas are to be congratulated
that such a sensible course of con-
duct has followed the final decree
of the highest court in the Nation.
Mr. Pierce is entitled to whatever
consideration the courts may be
able to grant him with a due regard
for their own dignity and the im-
perative requirements of the law.

FROM OUR FIELD CORRESPONDENT.
A Dream Caused Death.
' San Antonio, Texas, April 23.—
Mrs. Kate H. Cunningham, aged
46, wife of ex-City Assessor Harry
Cunningham, died at 2:30 o'clock
this morning from heart disease af-
ter a frightful dream. Mrs Cun-
ningham has been watching over a
sick child, which in delirious mo-
ments attempted to leap out of the
window of her room. This mor-
ning Mrs. Cunningham dreamed
that 3he saw the child climb into
the second story window to jump
to the ground below, and that she
was helpless to prevent her.
When she awoke from her night-
mare she collapsed almost instant-
ly, and died within a few minutes.
Flatonia, April 28, 1900.—The wash-
ing away of the bridge over the Colo
rado river between West Point and
Winchester has cafised the Aransas
Pass railroad to use the track of the
Austin branch of the Texas Central
from Giddings to Elgin and of the Katy
track from Elgin to West Point. This
round-about-way causes a very ir-
regular arrival and departure of trains
on said road. Instead of the schedule
time, 5:20 a. m., the train for J£oulton,
Shiner,- etc.,* usually arrives between
8 and 9. Intending to make a trip to
Moulton and Shiner I left for the
Union depot in time and there found
the genial W. Hahnke of Schulen-
burg, ready to leave for Shiner and
other points: After patiently waiting
until 9 o'clock the ticket agent in
formed us that the train would arrive
in about fifty minutes. ' This gave us
ample time to go back to John Schuetz
and take some "Soothing Syrup" to
allay our chagrin. The train did
finally come at 10:05, when it began
to rain which did not contribute much
to enliven our depressed spirits. The
fields observed along the line were
badly washed and generally quite
backward. The town of Moulton
presents a very neat appearance and
its inhabitants are progressive and ac-
commodating. Messrs. Jaeggli and
Fehrenkamp were absent at Hallets-
ville. With the afternoon train I left
for Shiner, and the fields we saw from
the car window looked very promising;
both corn and cotton looked better
than between Flatonia and Moulton.
In Shiner I found its people as com-
pliant as usual. We always love to go
to Shiner. Mr. "Dick" Seydler who
has a case in the district court at Hal-
letsville was there -accompanied by a
number of his friends, to attend to
said case but they returned at night
and reported that the case was post-
poned untill the day following next
day. May Richard come out of it
without much further worry and
annoyance. Through the courtesy of
Mr. Hy Simank, an ardent admirer of
the Sticker, I enjoyed a pleasant bug-
gy ride over the part of the city east
of the railroad track. Beautiful gar-
dens were to be seen at almost each
one of the many pretty and frequent-
ly elegant residences. Mr. Simank
himself possesses a lovely home in
that part of the town; an elegantly
ly fitted up new house of five rooms
with hall and galleries, substantially
built stables, an orchard of 200 youn;
fruit trees—mostly peach, pear an*
plum—nearly all bearing, an artesian
well and five acres of land comprises
it. This yery desirable property Mr
Simank wishes to sell at a sacrifice as
he has purchased Mr. Lockmann's
funiture store at Moulton. Yester-
day afternoon friend Hahnke showed
up in Flatonia again. He had arrived
from his trip to Shiner, Yoakum, etc.,
just in time to be too late for the train
to Schulenburg. The last seen of him
was when making a desperate effort
to be taken on board of the local that
arrived at the beginning of the fearful
rain storm of last night.
Every lover of educational pro
fress, whether a resident of Schulen
urg or any other place, will observe
with satisfaction that tne earnest ef
fort of the Sticker towards arousing a
general interest in the school affairs
'of its town has at last assumed practi
cal shape, as the reported proceed
ings of the meeting on the 16th prove
The appointed committee of Messrs
Chas. A. Kessler, John Oltmanns
Chas. Sengelmann, Hy Graf and R. A
Wolters, with Prof. Meyer added to
solicit subscriptions, will certainly
accomplish its object. E. H.

weeks the rail road bridge over the
Colorado river washed away Tues-

CLARK FOR CONGRESS.
To the Editor of the Herald and the
voters of Lavaca county: _o 16^
In a strong and pointed an-
nouncement which rings with the
tenets of the true Democracy of
this day, Dr. I. E. Clark, one of
Lavaca's most worthy sons, no w
a resident of Schulenburg, presents
himself as a Democratic candidate
for Congress from this the Tenth
district. Dr. Clark is eminently
qualified for this position being a
business man of large capacity, and
an enthusiastic and untiring worker
in any line of action which he takes
up and if there were more such
men in Congress the necessary
business of our country could be
transacted with an immense saving
in time and money I would like
to see our Legislative halls filled
with business men instead of
"wind-jammers"—men who think,
work and figure in the committee
rooms, instead of indulging in
flowery spurts of futile eloquence
on the floors.
One of the most thoroughly ef-
ficient representatives that Texas
ever sent to Congress was our
present governor Joseph D. Sayers
and he was seldom heard to make
even a brief speech in the House,
but as a genuine worker in the
committee rooms he had few
equals. He was always on a num-
ber of the most important com-
mittees.
Besides being an able man, Dr.
Clark is very popular personally.
He has the qualities of magnetism
and geniality which are very ad-
vantageous to a man in the position
to which he aspires and he will
gain votes wherever he is seen and
if his ambition is realized ihe
Tenth will have a Congressman to
be proud of. J. W Bennett.
