Races at Recent Lampasas Fair Were
Fast—Premiums Awarded
on Live Stock.
TjAMPASAS, Tex., July 27.—The fair
which has just closed hero brought out
some of the fastest racing hordes in the
State. The State record for half a mile,
pacing, against time, with a pacemaker,
was broken by 1 lie bay gelding Happy
Hooligan, who .stepped the mile in 1:02.
This was all the more remarka-ble from
the fact that the track, though very
fast, is not banked at all at the ends.
'j lie trotting time was also very good,
Jim E. Jr. of Coleman going it in 1;0G.
On the second night of the*fair a black
stallion, George G, broke from his .stall
and for two hours terrorized the entire
population of the grounds, running over
tents, against barrier*:, and finally came
very near killing another stailion .that
was tied outside.
Financially, the fair was successful,
there being some 1500 people attending
each day.
An t tort will be made to purchase per-
manent grounds and hold a better fair
next year.

TALKEft OF ELECTRICITY.
Dr. Duggan Said It Is Often Used to
Humbug.
At an informal meeting of the Scientific
Society of San Antonio, held Friday night
in the rooms of the society in the
Stevens Building, Dr. Ma lone Duggan
spoke at length on electrotherapeutics.
The meeting was attended by the prpsi-
d< nt. Col. J. Pitman, Dr. M*. .! Bleim,
< 'a pi. Edpar Schram^. C S. Brodbent,
(Jeorge Hoe, Edw/ird W. id« usinger,
("apt. E. i']!crin, Prof. B. Maekensen
and Edward Neumann.
Dr. Duggan in his discussion first
dwelt upon the physical oropeities of
electricity and indicated the principle
which form the basis of its therapeutic-
actions. He- pointed out how it was
often used to humbug the unsuspecting.
Electricity, he said, properly used, is a
valuable aid in therapeutics; but it can-
not be considered a specific in any par-
ticular disease.
Dr. Duggan viewed the different forms
of electricity, speaking particularly on
galvanism, electrolysis, eataphoresi.S. the
x-r; y and the high frequency current.
He said many advanoes have been made
ree'-nfly in this new field of therapy,
and he ventured the assertion that in a
few 'years electricity will be used much
m-re extensively than .now, and that
the high frequency current would dis-
place all others, except the x-ray and
ga'ya rJsm.
The presentation of the sub.i"ct was
Wf II made and elicited mc.eii discussion.
N' vt VrTday night Capt. J. E. Elgin
will speak on the 'nner-eostal Canal.

COTTON STANDS ATTACK.
Crop Pest Commission Reports Crop
Made Despite Boll Weevil.
BATON ROUGE, Da., July 27.—State
Entomologist Newell of the Crop Pest
Commission gave out a statement today
saying that the commission had not, as
Was widely reported last Sunday, dis-
covered in Triumph cotton a variety of
cotton apparently Immune to attacks of
the boll weevil and not sensitive to
weather conditions.
The commission's findings, he said,
was that notwithstanding attacks of the
boll weevil, and despite advers • weather
conditions, this variety of cotton has
given assurance of producing over half
a bale to the acre. Further, in the
commission's opinion. this discovery
should go a long way toward minimizing
the damage done to cotton crops by the
boll weewi.
