CLEVELAND
IS NO MORE
Grover Cleveland, twice Presi-
dent of the United States, died
at 8:40 Wednesday morning at
his home, "Westland," in Prince-
ton, New Jersey, where he had
lived since his retirement as the
Nation's Chief Executive, almost
twenty years ago.
When death came, which was
suddenly, there were in the
death chamber on the second
floor of the Cleveland residence,
Mrs. Cleveland, Dr. Joseph D.
Bryant of New York, Mr. Cleve-
land's family physician and per-
sonal friend; Dr. George R.
Lock wood, also of New York,
and Dr. John M. Carnochan of
Princeton.
All national flags were order-
ed at half masc by President
Rooseve't upon receipt of the
news at Oyster Bay. The pres-
ident may attend the funeral.
Mr. Cleveland was 71 years
old, and was first elected presi-
dent in 1884, again in 1892.
Mrs. Cleveland and four child-
ren survive him. Ruth, the first
daughter born to tbe Cleveland
home, died several years ago.
G rover Cleveland was one of
the great men of the age, and
the nation mourns his death,
Heart failure, superinduced by
organic troubles, is given as the
immediate cause of his death.

WHY NOT WORK FOR ELECTRIC LINE?
Terrell, Forney, Mesquite and Dallas Should Get Together on the Proposition.
Would be a Great Convenience to Suburban Residents»vGet Busy at Once.
On last Saturday trains Nos. 7 and 8, local passengers arri-
ving here at 6:30 a. m. and 7:06 p. m., respectively, were annulled,
which arrangement makes it very inconvenient for those whose
business requires their presence in the city for an entire day, going
down in the morning, returning at night.
While the change may not be permanent yet it has aroused
public sentiment in favor of an electric car line between Dallas
and Terrell.
Terrell wants the road, and we presume that Forney would
heartily co-operate. Mesquite would do her part, as she always
does when the advancement of the town and the development of
the country is to be considered. Orphans Home could be de-
pended upon for substantial aid, and the rural population along
the route would no doubt be liberal in the matter of right-of-way.
Terrell, Forney, Mesquite and Dallas should get together and talk
the matter over, and now is a good time to do it.

WHAT WILL MESQUITE DO ABOUT IT?
At Riley the Farmers Union District convention discussed
the matter of building a district warehouse, but we are told that
no definite action was taken.
The establishment of this warehouse will be of considerable
benefit to the town securing it, which is why Mesquite should
throw out her tow line and drag it in.
It is understood that the warehouse contemplated will cost
from $1,700 to $2,000 and we are told that Seagoville is in the
contest for location. Seagoville offers a bonus of $600 and a lot
upon which to place the building.
What are we going to do about it?
Mesquite can certainly make it worth while for the District
Farmers'Union to consider the establishment of the warehouse
here, and we are certain Mesquite will do her part.

LONDON BURNING ITS WASTE
English City Cornea Near to Finding
Solution of Problem Faced by
All Large Centers.
To burn as fuel sewage, sludge,
coal washings, shale, and other
waste is the latest fashion in Lon-
don. Tar, crude naphtha, or other
tarry substance is mixed with pe-
troleum, shale, Texas oil, or other
hydrocarbon oil in such a way as to
produce a solid precipitate which
can be separated from the remaining
thin liquor. The thin fluid from
which the precipitate has been sep-
arated is used to produce a binding
agent for the artificial fuel. For this
purpose resinous matter is dissolved
in the liquor until the whole becomes
a thick viscous mass to form the
binding agent. This mass may be
mixed with a tarry substance in
equal proportions and a little com-
mon salt added. The combustible
rubbish is reduced to a dry powder
and thoroughly mixed with a small
proportion of the dried precipitate
produced as described. A little of
the binding agent is added and the
whole is mixed at a suitable temper-
ature. The result is pressed into
blocks or briquettes or otherwise
treated to produce artificial fuel as
desired. With slight changes tho
same formula is used for making
artiflcia coke, an achievement hither-
to impossible.
TALENTED WIFE OF ARTIST.
Louise Cox is the California wife of
Kcnyon Cox and a winner of a num-
ber of prizes as an artist in her own
name. She paints small decorative
pictures and portraits, mostly of
children. She is an earnest worker
and uses an interesting method.
Each picture is the result of many
sketches and the study of many mod-
els, representing in a composite way
the perfection of all. For the Virgin
in her "Annunciation," a model was
first posed in the nude, and then
another was draped, the artist
sketching the figure in the nude,
draping it from the second model.
The hands always are separately
sketched from a model which has a
peculiar grace in folding them nat-
urally.
FOR THE MAN THAT SMOKES.
It is quite certain that much may
be done to diminish the risk of to-
bacco amblyopia by paying attention
to certain points of personal hygiene.
For instance, ij rule should be
made never to smoke upon an empty
stomach, but as far as possible only
after meals. It is absolutely bad to
smoke before dinner, and equally
bad to smoke late at night to keep
awake at one's work.
It should also be forbidden to
chew the cigar between the teeth, as
many smokers are wont to do.
