THE DEMOCRAT.

ft. WILSON. iMkl Ef
War Hiy Resalt-
The report of the Maine board
of inquiry was completed Tues-
day evening and the verdict,
guarded by officers, is expected
to rwrli Washington this evening
by special train. The absolute
privacy of the document has been
rigidly maintained. Even con-
gress may not be advised of its
import until next week when it
is expected the president will
transmit it by special message
with recommendations to that
body for action. The prevailing
opinion in naval circles is that
tM ill fated Maine with its crew
was destroyed by a mine and that
the in< auiry verdict will so find,
in whicli case, Spain may be call-
ed upon by the Washington gov-
ernment to indemnify the loss.
For Spain to comply would be an
admission by that government of
treachery to a neutral power and
her consequent dishonor among
the nations of the world, and
hence her refusal of the demand
is anticipated, followed bv the
United States' effort to forcibly
compel the demand. The presi-
dent is also expected to take-
some immediate action to secure
relief for Cuba. Spain's barbar-
ic method of concentration, star-
vation and cruelty to Cuban men,
women and children has aroused
the indignation of the civilized
world and the United States has
determined to intervene at once
in the name of humanity and
check the brutality to the 400,000
defenseless inhabitants of the
stricken island. Both nations
are making strenuous war prepa-
rations during the painful sus-
With this issue the name of W.
S. Coffey comes before our read-
ers as a candidate in the demo-
cratic primary for sheriff. Mr.
Coffey is the present incumbent
1 of that office, serving his first
term and seeks a renomination.
During his occupancy of the of-
fice he has devoted his entire
time to the duties pertaining to
the important trust and submits
his chances for reelection upon
this record. Mr. Coffey is an old
resident of Collin county, is
widely acquainted and highlv
esteemed. Consider his claims.

The Democrat continues to
get campaign documents from
Crane and Sayers headquarters.
These documents are not fired
against the populist party. The
Crane literature attempts to dis-
credit Sayers as a democrat and
the Savers literature discredits
Crane as a democrat. Taken al-
together they both prove conclu
sively that neither should become
governor of Texas. Gibbs is the
man for the place. He alone
deals in practical questions of
benefit to tne people.
A cold wave "touched*' Mc-
Kinney at 10:30 a. in. Tuesday
and sent the mercury down near-
ly 40 degrees in an hour. The
cold wave grew intense during
the night and yesterday morning
ice covered the ground. The ex-
tent of the damage is not known,
but is probably serious to crops
as the spring was very forward.
Wheat was jointing, volunteer
oats were heading, most of the
corn crop was up. and fruit
trees were in full bloom. Farm-

Dr. Hartman, Mr. Wvatt says:
"I have been afflicted with la
