LEWIS MOORE ENDS
EARTHLY CAREER
After a protracted Itinera. Lewis
Mnj^ore, for manor years a citizen and'
furniture merchant of McKinney,
died Monday at 11:15 o'clock ut
liie late home in West McKinney,
surrounded by hiB wife, children and
friends. The deceased was a native
of Bedford county, Tennessee, where
lie was born March 1, 1852, and. liv-
ed until at the age of about twenty
\fiien he came to Texas. He was a
member of a large family of chil-
dren, and, while a boy learned the
trade of a cabinet maker under an
elder brother in the state of Tennes-
see. In about 1871 he came to
Texas. He made the trip through
from Tennessee to Texas in a wagon,
coming with the late Fete Wallis
■who was visiting his old home in
Tennessee. The latter's brother,
the late Jaines Wallis, decld'ed to
also move to Texas with his brother
on, the latter's return and did so.
Mr. Moore, then hardly twenty, de-
cided to come with them. After his
arrival in Texas, the young cabinet
maker accepted a position with
Isaac Crouch founder of the present
large furniture store of Crouch-
Hartzog Company. McKinney has
almost continuously been his home
ever since, much of the time he has
conducted a furniture store business.
1-la was therefore well acquaint-
ed tlirpughout. the county. He was
a member of the First Methodist
church. His funeral was conducted
at the family residence at 3:30
o'clock Tuesday afternoon by his
pastor, ltev. C. C. Young, assisted
by Rev. E. B. Pincher. The burial
followed in Pecan Grove cemetery.
The deceased was married in 1871
to Miss Mat tie Gates, who survives
him, together with the following
children: Mrs. Norman Presley and
Mrs. V. J. Brannon both of McKin-
ney, Mrs. T. E. Presley of Cotulla,
Texas; Miss Emma Moore, of Pauls
Valley, Okla.; Miss Lula Moore, of
Grapevine, Ttsxas; Miss Ruby, Aus-
tin, Houston and Jack Mdore, all at
home. Also by two sisters, Mrs. J.
\V. Blanton, of Aiear Woodlawn
northeast of McKinney, and another
still living In Tennessee; by three
brothers: B. B. Moore, of Greenville,
Texas; A. S. Moore, of Floyd. Texas;
nnd five other brothers In Ten-
nessee. Lewis Moore was a man of
sober habits, gentlemanly bearing,
quiet disposition and of strict In-
tegrity. Ills death will be mourned
by a multitude of acquaintances
made through bis long residence and
business career in McKinney. These
papers join these friends In expres-
sions of condolence and sympathy to
the bereaved family in this hour of
their deepest sorrow.
MIS. SNEK1> STILL IMPROVES.
Slowly Recovering From Recent
Serious Injury.
The latest report from the home of
District Clerk J. H. Sneed, is to the
effect that he continues to improve,
and his complete recovery Is believ-
ed to be a matter o'f only a few days,
despite the fact that his Injury was
very serious. It will be remember-
ed that Mr. Sneed was thrown to the
pavement, Tuesday noon, of last
week, by a horse which he was at-
tempting to mount, and the back of
his head striking the brick pavement
with terrible force, he was rendered!
unconscious, and Ills condition for a
time was critical. It is, therefore,
very gratifying to liis family nnd
many friends, that Ills early, com-
plete recovery is assured. The little
iioy, who was also Injured at the
time, has already fully recovered
from the injuries he received.
PRAISE FOR SCHOOLS.
State School Hoard Official Highly
Pleased.
Charles W. Ramsdell, from the of-
fice of State Superintendent F. M.
Bralley, visited the McKinney High
School one day last week, and his
report, is most gratifying to the
bleachers and pupils. His visit was
'in the interest of subjects In which
It Is desired to secure additional
affiliation. Mr. Ramsdell speaks
very highly of the impression he re-
ceived in the Domestic Science and
German classes, commending Mrs.
Harris, director and teacher, very
highly for the able manner In which
she directs these studies. He also
highly commends the progress of the
classes in ChemiBtry, and recom-
mends that all three be granted affil-
iation.
In closing his report, Mr. Rams
dell says:
"I may say, In passing, that the
superintendent, Mr. Hill, seems to
he aiming at a high order of efficien-
cy rather than an extensive curricu-
lum, and that the school seems to be
flourishing."
Cheeves Bros. Dressing Up.
The front of the Mlssisslpl Store,
on the northeast Corner of the
square, which Is owned by the I. O.
O. F. lodge and occupied by CheeveB
Bros. & Co., who are among the
loading dry -goods merchants In
North T^xas, Is being repainted.
This will add greatly to the appear-
ance of the hulldlng when It Is com-
pleted.

erecting a new residence in Richard-
son and also another In Oak Cliff.
Mr. Hughes finds the frequent inter-
urban service to be convenient, en-
abllng him to stay at home with his
family In McKinney at nights and
yet look after his contracts under
way in adjacent towns.

Kinney carpenter, is engaged in in-

T NATIONAL
CONTRACT IS LET
The First National Bank of Mc-
Kinney has awarded the contract
for Its proposed new firo-proof bank
building to Contractor .1. A. Forsyth.
As before stated In these columns,
the location of this splendid new
McKinney business structure is to be
on the present site of the old stand
of the Smith drug store, which re-
cently vucated the old building and
moved two doors north to its newly
remodeled stand.
The contract calls for the comple-
tion of the building between Sept..
1 and 15 of the present year.
This building, which will be for-
ty by eighty feet, is to be used ex-
clusively as a banking building by
the First National. It is to be re-
inforced! concrete and Bedford stono
finish, modern in its equipment and
appointments In all respects and an
ornament to the east side of the
square. We have seen the blue
prints of the building, which will
indeed be a credit not only to the
old First National, but to the entire
.City at. large, it will be provided
with safety deposit boxes, private
consultation rooms for customers and
provided as above stated, with all
other modern banking facilities.
The First National Bank was
founded forty-three years ago and
for that length of time has been lo-
cated In Us present home. It has,
however, outgrown its present quar-
ters. hence its projection of a new
banking home more in keeping with
the growth of its business, present
and future needs. The bank was
founded in .ISG9 by the late F. Em-
erson, who was later joined in Its
conduct, by his two sons, Thomas H.
and Turner T. Emerson. All these
three elder tJmersons are now de-
ceased, but the institution continues
to remain in the ownership and man-
agement of the same family which
founded It and built it up to a repu-
tation perhaps second to none in a
town of this size anywhere in the
United States when It comes to sta-
bility and soundness of resources
and facilities for accommodating its
patrons. Its business growth, in re-
cent years has been more phenome-
nal than at any time during Its his-
tory. The officers of this bank of
which all McKinney is proud are:
John Lovejoy, president.
Fredi Emerson, active vice presi-
dent.
Francis H. Welch, vice president.
Howell 10. Smith, cashier.
J. G. Fit/.liugh, assistant cashier.
Vet H. Smith, assistant cashier.
J. F. Greer of Allen, who had
been attending the causeway cele-
bration at Galveston, and who was
returning home on the H. & T. C.
through train Sunday night, arriving
here at 11 o'clock Monday, re-
ported to this office that as the train
was passing through College Station,
at about o'clock, the main build-
ing of the A. & M. College was on
fire, and even before they were out
of sight, the roof of the building fell
in, which was evidence that the en-
tire building was consumed. He stat-
ed that the spectacle was a most
thrilling one, as, with the flames
leaping from the hundreds of win-
days and bursting through the roof
of the Immense, magnificent building
and the other big buildings sur-
rounding it, the scene was at once
terrible and awe-inspiring.
Later the report of Mr. Greer has
been verified. The main building
of the college was completely de-
stroyed by the fire demon at about
the hour above named, the flames
being discovered at about 2 o'clock,
and by 4 there was nothing but a
.mass of fiercely bufnlng debris sur-
rounded by blackened and crumbling
walls. So far as^known no one wus
Injured, although "there were numer-
ous narrow escapes. The origin of
the lire Is unknown at this tiuie.
Telephone communication was de-
stroyed before the details of the fire
could be given. )

veiling Next Sunday.
A CRITICAL CASE
OF MENINGITIS
The many relatives niul frlandd
in McKinney of Mrs. John K. Wil-
son, who resides at Princeton, were
very much grieved when the na/vs
wob conveyed to them that she had
been stricken with that dreadful
disease, menlngttls. Mrs. Wilson
and children visited relatives in Mc-
Kinney last Friday. Her mother,
Mrs. Graham, of Georgia, arrived
her.e only a few days ago to visit her
for several d^ys.
She awoke Tuesday morning feel-
ing badly, but the family had no
idea that her condition was so se-
rious. Tuesday afternoon she sud-
denly grew worse, nnd has been un-
conscious since that time. The at-
tending physician, Dr. Davis of
Princeton, and Dr. W. E. Rucker,
administered the serum treatment
yesterday. The last report re-
ceived at this, office was to the ef-
fect that she was no better and her
condition a very critical one.

Washington, D. C., May 30. —
Last bulletin gave forecasts of dis-
turbances to cross continent May 31
to June 4, and June 5 to 9, warm
waves 30 to June 3, and June 1 to
8, cool waves June 2 to 0 and' 7 to
11. The period covered by these
two disturbances will be the hottest
part of June and where there Is suf-
ficient moisture will be the lltiost
crop weather of the month
But in large sections moisture will
be deficient and the hot weather will
not only cause a drouth scare but
an actual and damaging drouth. I
have warned all through these bul-
letins not to sell cotton or'grain. 1
predicted much Improved crap
weather for the Inst part of May.
thai it would tend to lower prices
and advised against selling at the
lowered market prices.
The great speculators took ad-
vantage of the improved crop weath-
er and pressed prices to lower fig-
ures. Of course they did this to buy
at reduced figures. I still advise
the farme/s and dealers to get all
the cotton and grain they can and
keep them. The manipulation of
market prices is the curse of this
country and every producer and le-
gitimate dealer should urge It on the
congressmen to find a way to stop
old money-bags from setting the
prices on farm products. My weath-
er work will be much more valuable
when supply and demand are not
misrepresented and are permitted to
regulate prices. Swat the men who
manipulate the markets.
Next, disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about June 10, cross Pacific
slope by close of 11, great central
valleys 12 to 14, eastern sections
15. Warm wave will cross Pacific
slope about June 10, groat central
valleys 12, eastern sections 14. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about
June 13, great central valleys 15,
eastern sections 17.
A\ tlie time of this disturbance
the usual trend of temperatures are
considerably upward but not so for
this June. The trend will be a lit-
tle downward making the first third
of the month warmer than usual, the
middle third about normal and the
last third below normal. This, of
course,, is expected to lie the general
average of tills June east of Rockies
but west of Rockies the reverse is ex-
pected.
Another departure from above
statement is expected. Where good
rains fall it will be cooler than In-
dicated and where drouth prevails it
will be wanner than Indicated. See
last bulletin for June rainfall fore-
casts.
About and following June 1 great
weather events are expected. Great
storms and earthquakes are proba-
ble where these sometimes occur.
They can not now be located but
readers are advised to be on the look-
out for them. Watch the news col-
umns for great, events In other coun-
tries. 1 have expected these great
disturbances to cover about ten days
May 30 to June 8 or 10.
I expect showers to occur in many
places from June I to 16. but not
much rain from Juno 17 to July 2.
The month of June will begin to in-
dicate where the best crops will be
produced and where the drouth will
damage crops. But July and August
will determine the cotton and corn
and spring wheat crops. Serious
drouth for those two months is ex-
pected in large sections,

Following is the report of the
Sherman correspondent to the Den-
ison Herald, of Senator Perkins'
speech at Sherman last Saturday:
Sherman, Tex., May 27.—Senator
Tom W. Perkins of McKinney, can-
didate for Congress from the Fourth
Congressional District of Texas,
spoke in the Fifteenth District Court
room here Saturday afternoon and
was given a cordial reception.
The court room was well filled,
and Senator Perkins spoke for nearly
two hours, holding his audience to
the closest attention. He discussed
the issues of the campaign, from his
standpoint in an able and courage-
ous manner.
He first took occasion to reply to
Judge Ben L. Jones of this city, one
of his opponents, whom, he states,
saiil in a recent speech at McKinney,
that his (Perkins') record was
against him.
Senator Perkins then took up his
recordl as Senator from the district
composed of Collin, Hunt and Raln-
ts counties, and showed by the print-
ed record of the two past Legisla-
tures that he had voted for eveny
measure that was passed In the Inter-
est of the people as against the cor-
porations; that he is the author of
the bill making it a felony to sell
whiskey In a local option territory;
that he voted for the bill making it
a felony to run a gambling house in
Texas; that he Is the author of the
law making it a misdemeanor pun-
ishable by fine to swear while talk-
ing over the telephone, and that he
succeeded materially in much other
important llglslatlon. Concluding
hie remarks in reference to his re-
cord as a public official, Senator Per-
kins said: "The presumption Is, had
Judge Jones been In the Legislature
lie would have "been against all of
these measures."
In discussing the public questions
of the present campaign, Senator
Perkins Baldl that he stands for a
tariff for revenue only, believing that
the tax should be removed' from the
necessities of life, and that the lux-
uries should be made to carry the
burden of taxation. He Is for an in-
come tax, and an inheritance tax:
lor the initiative, referendum and re-
tail and' Ills explanation of this the-
ory of government was the best that
has been made by any speaker be-
fore a Sherman audience.
Senator Perkins also expressed the
belief that a Federal law can be con-
structed which will do away with the
shipping of whiskey Into local option
territory, and promised If elected to
make an effort to pass such a law.
He also stated that he Is a prohib-
itionist—local option or Statewide;,
city county State or Nation—believ-
ing that the whiskey traffic should be
suppressed.
Senator Perkins came out strong
for the measure to prohibit public
servants from accepting employment
from corporations, or gifts of any
kind while members of Congress, or
in the employ of the people In any
capacity.
His remarks on the white slave
traffic were listened to with Intense
interest, and his strictures of the
people engaged in this nefarious
business were very severe.
Senator Perkins was introduced to
the nudtence by A. A. Mitchell, a well
known Grayson county farmar. He
was frequently applauded during his
speech. He left Sherman on the 4
o'clock car for Van Alstyne, whera
he spoke at night.
Jim Ford of Allen was transact-
ing business In McKinney Saturday.
