TEMPLE SILVERITES.

send delegates to the county convention
was held at the opera house ^yesterday.
About forty participants .were present. The
following resolutions were adopted:
Be It resolved by the democrats of Tem-
ple and surrounding country in mass meet-
ing assembled:
1. That we are democrats and believing
that in the perpetuity of the principles of
the democratic party rests the liberties of
the people, and that one of the principles
of democracy connected with and underly-
ing the prosperity and happiness of the
people is that both silver and gold should
be coined into money for the use of the
people of the states and for the redemption
of our paper currency.
2. That the constitution of the United
States provides that congress shall have
power to coin money and regulate the
value thereof and of foreign coins, and that
no state shall coin money or make any-
thing but gold and silver coin as legal ten-
der in payment of debts, hence we declare
it to be the duty of congress and by the
sanction of our president to coin both gold
and silver money upon equal terms.
3. We denounce the republican act of 1873
demonetizing silver as a crime, and in or-
der to undo the wrong and avoid further
depreciation of money we l'avor the imme-
diate restoration of the free and unlimited
coinage of both silver and gold at the pres-
ent ratio of lti to 1 without waiting for the
aid or consent of any nation on earth.
At the conclusion of the primary held
yesterday, a free silver club was organized
witt a membership of about llfty.
On motion a committee of three was ap-
pointed on permanent organization and
submitted the following resolution which,
after about an hour's discussion, was
adopted:
1. That this club shall be called "Temple
democratic free silver club."
2. That F. P. Harnill be elected chair-
man; Captain Wm. Knight, first vice chair-
man: H. P. Robertson, second vice chair-
man: J. W. Moffett be elected secretary

stitute an executive committee.

two weeks.

NEW VARIETIES OF POTATOES.
Philadelphia Ledger.
Professor Liebscher, in his report upon
experiments in originating new varieties
of potatoes, says: "Modern potato breed-
ers select as parent two varieties which
in most qualities bear close resemblance
to each other, avoiding the use of oppo-
site.5?, their aim being to secure as much
similarity as possible in most of the quali-
ties of the parents, attempting to fix one
characteristic at a time.
"This is in contrast with earlier prac-
tice, in which varieties differing widely
were crossed. The modern method, how-
ever, gives a smaller amount of variation
in the seedlings produced, only about 1
per cent of seedlings under the old method
being worthy of a second trial, as against
from 50 to 70 per cent under the later
practice. Breeders no longer expect to
get certain qualities from the female par-
ent and certain others from the male.
"The inter-relation of different qualities
is not well known, but it has been noticed
that a variety having a few thick stalks
affords only a small number of tubers
which are large; one having numerous
slender stalks bears numerous tubers,
which remain small. Violet-colored stalks
indicate colored tubers; white flowers gen-
erally, but not always, accompany white
tubers. Early ripening and resistance to
disease are not generally found together.
A large production of true seed Is accom-
panied with a small production of tubers."
For the benefit of those who desire to ex-
periment in producing new varieties, Prof.
Liebscher says: "In po'.lenizing varieties
artificially, the stamemi should be removed
from the female parent with a fine pincers
as soon as the h'.oom opens and the flower
encased in a paper or gauze bag. The
proper stage foa* applying the pollen is indi-
cated by the moist appearance of the stig-
ma. The pollen from the desired variety
should be dusted on the stigma on two or
three successive days, so as to make sure
of fertilization. The 'bag .3 removed as
soon as the stigma dries and the bloom
withers.
"The seeds are washed out from the ripe
seed'balls, dried and, at the proper season,
sown shallow under glass. The seedlings
are first transplanted in a hotbed, and later
the strongest plants are placed in a rich
ibed out of doors. The old rule that the
seedlings of the first year should .produce
tubers the size of a hazelnut, of a walnut
the second, and normal size the third, is no
longer acceptable. In one instance a tu'ber
of the first year weighed seven ounces.
"The tubers produced by each -plant are
kept separate, those of the best plants be-
ing used for propagation the following year.
Close planting as 25 inches by 12 inches is
advocated by some as affording the condi-
tions under which the plant sin future is to
ibe grown, but 40 inches 'by 40 inches per-
mits of easier observation and is less sub-
ject to errors from an irregular stand. It is
usually five yetars before there «is obtained
a type so fixed and valuable as to serve for
future crossing and to deserve a name."

REM A RIC ABLE RECOVERY.
(Mrs. Meyer, Who Was Thought to Have
Been Fatally Shot, Gets Well.
Brenham, Tex., July 21.—Mrs. llenriette
Meyer, who was shot twice through the
head by a negro at her home on the Braz-
os river, and who lost about two ounces of
brain substance, is now recovering, and
her attending physician says she is out of
danger.
The wounds were produced June 17 by
a 45-caliber pistol, one bullet entering the
front of the forehead and the other
through the head from side to side. The
injuries were at first pronounced mortal
by two physicians and it was expected that
she would die in a few hours. The case
was especially sad, because Mrs. Meyer
was to become a mother at no very distant
date. The physicians went home and no
more attention was paid to the wounds
for several days, but death did not come,
and it was then thought that perhaps she
might recover, and a third physician was
called In and he began to treat the wounds
and Mrs. Meyer's condition began to im-
prove steadily, until now she is
about well. The m'.nd does not seem
to be at all affected by the injury -to .the
brain, for she is perfectly rational and
talks and acts as sensibly as ever.
A great deal of indignation was aroused
against the negro who is alleged to have
tired the shots and there were many
threats of lynching. So many, in fact,
that Sheriff Teague ouietly carried the
prisoner away to another county, where
he is now in jail.

ished taking the evidence. He is proceed-
ing very cautiously, and seems determined
that, the affair shall be sifted to the bot-
tom. The law makes no provision for ex-
penses incurred in such cases other than
the coroner's fee of $5, and although Jus-
tice Hussey has expended already several
times as much as his fee will be, he seems
determined to push the investigation to
the end, regardless of the demands upon
his own time or purse.
Public interest has increased wonderfully
since there arose a doubt or dispute as
to the cause of the death. There is a very
strong sentiment unholdlng Justice Hus-
sey in his determination to sift the matter
to the bottom.
There was a report in circulation to-day
thut the certificate given by Dr. George
Larendon, city health officer, upon which
the remains of Daisie Douglass, or Daisie
Threlkelu, were shipped to Kansas City
for burial, stated the cause of death as
"hemorrhage."
A News man hunted up Dr. Larendon
and asked him if the report was true.
"My rei.ollection is," replied the city
health officer, "that the certificate stated
the caus-.' of death to be 'rupture of the
stomach,' but it might have been stated
as 'hemorrhage.' 1 took that from Jim
Hussey's report."
"Does not your weekly mortuary report
as city health physician state that the
woman died of morphine poison?"
"It does," replied the doctor, "but when
a woman dies- and her remains are to be
shipped lo her parents, 1 always like to
put the ca'-e of death as light as possi-
ble. For the certificate for shipment, I
copied the cause from Jim Hussey's re-
port."
As regards the dispute about the stom-
ach of the dead mian, there is nothing
new. Drs. Larei . >n and Lankford still
claim that the woman died of morphine
pob on, and that they have the-woman's
stomach.
Dr. N. P. Dolen, the county physician,
who made the post mortem, still maintains
thut 'he stomach that Drs. Larendon and
Lankford have is not the stun
cut from Daisie Douglass, bee;.
no rupture.

NEGRO FOUND DEAD.
Mexla. (Limestone Co., Tex., July 20.—
Just after a severe thunderstorm to-day-a
colored man and horse were found dead in
the road one mile north of town. An ex-
amination was made by Justice H. M. Rob-
erts and the decision was that deceased
came to his death from a stroke of light-
ning. Dr. J. E. Thomas made an examina-
tion also and found that the neck of the
negro was dislocated, and some believe
that his death was caused from his horse
falling on him. His name was Jack Maf-
fett and he lived at Woodland, Freestone
county.

IRRIGATION IN TEXAS.
Spanish-American Industrial Journal.
The first thing done toward permanent
settlement in western Texas by the Spanish
pioneers of two centuries ago was to utilize
the waters of running streams for the pur-
poses of irrigation. Thus early did they
realize the fact, now being painfully re-
learned, that to make cultivation certain
in this district some means of watering th<#
soil, more reliable than the rainfall, is a
prime necessity. It was very easy to util-
ize the waters of the Rio Grande, or to
use the clear limestone streams further
east, the Nueces, San Antonio, Guadalupe,
and so on. Water rights were clearly de-
fined as regards the cubic volume and
number of hours of each grant; this water
could be used on any land, arid was real
estate in the same manner as the land
itself, and separate from it. Water cus-
toms were defined by the civil Ufw which
prevailed in the Spanish dependencies, and
these rights remain intact in those portions
of Mexico which have passed to the I'nited
States, though the fact that in the states,
as a whole, the English common law has
formed the basis of the legislative system,
has often led to costly disputes in this
matter of water rights.
There was a theory held years ago that
as settlement and tillage proceeded west-
ward the rainfall accompanied it, and peo-
ple were heard to declare that they had
never failed to raise crops during a dozen
or more years; thus a large area of land
had been cleared and plowed right up to
the Mexican frontiers as railroad con-
struction proceeded, and several prosper-
ous seasons induced a false sense of se-
curity. But now for y ars a series of
dry years has afflicted the southwestern
port.on of Texas, with the result of gen-
eral poverty and destitution, especially
among the Mexican population on the
lower Rio Grande. Last summer I was em-
ploying at a half a day a thoroughly good
Mexican, who had lost his stock in those
parts to the value of several thousand dol-
lars, and had abandoned his gcod house
and quarter section, 1G0 acres of iand, in
despair. Yet all the while there aiv plenty
of object lessons in the state, su wing it
to be one of the favored portion the
union if properly handled. For .n anv.-e,
the El Paso onions and grapes, entirely
raised by irrigation, have been famous for
hundreds of years.
San Antonio, the capital of southwest
Texas, may be instanced also. The irri-
gation ditches are nearl> 200 years old,
and extended for eight miles or so below
the city, where the five Franciscan mis-
sions were establish- a. Now the market
garden land near the city i-s worth $1000
an acre and rents at $3<>, and the water
has to be bought in add;; on at $1 an hour.
Si ill the thrifty German and Italian gar-
dent rs prosper; one of the latter, my near
neighbor, made $3000 last spring from eight
acres in the 1 rge white flat Mexican
onions, the seed for which he got from
San Luis l'oto i at of> per pound. An Aus-
tralian gardener told me he had raised 400
bushels of sweet potatoes to the a<-re,
which at $1 a bushel is good enough. For
many fruits the district is especially
adapted, notably figs, grapes, pears and
plums; melons and tomatoes abound in
summer, and the fodder crop is always
valuable. A worthy old man from Berne
settled near the Concepclon mission, a
mile or two from San Antonio court house,
a few years ago, and lie has for years
done a flourishing dairy and vineyard bus-
iness, making a full bodied wine from the
black Spanish grape, and cutting his al-
falfa every six weeks.

"I must account for this pool of blood

He pressed his hand to his brow, and
presently he had it.
"I will shave myself in this apartment,"
he said.

him they suspected nothing.
