Houston, Tex., May 31.—Will Mitchell
and Frank Mitchell, two colored boys, aged
19 and 11 respectively, were taken to the
police station to-day by Officer Hartnett.
They were wanted there for the purpose of
finding out if they could throw any light
upon the Baker murder. Captain J. C.
Hutcheson questioned the two boys, and
when he got through requested that they
be held until he had been given an oppor-
tunity to interview their mother and
trother.

could not be learned from him, and there
is no information as to the knowledge, if
any, which the two boys "had of Tuesday
night's dreadful tragedy. Their home is

MASONIC ClItCI/LAIt.
On the Proposed Home for Widows
and Orphans.
Houston, Tex., May 31.—Secretary John
Watson of the grand lodge of Masons of the
state is to-day sending out to the various
subordinate lodges the following report of
the committee on the proposed home for
widows and orphans: \
The M. W. Grand Lodge of Texas, Orfico
of Grand Secretary—Houston, Tex., June 1.
—To the Worshipful Masters, Warden and
Brethren of all the Lodges, A. F. & A. M.,
in Texas: Your attention is fraternally
called to the following extract from the re-
port of the directors of the "Masonic
widows and orphans' home." made .at the
last communication of the grand lodge, and
to be found on pages 95 to 98 of the printed
proceedings of the grand lodge. ISM, and
your favorable action invited thereon, either
in the way of bidding for the location of the
home or donations to the fund. Fraternally
yours, JOHN WATSON,
Grand Secretary.
Report of directors of the widows and or-
l>hans' home fund:
To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of
Texas: The board of directors of the wid-
ows and orphans' home .submit this, their
eighth annual report of the funds under
their control:
At the date of our last annual report, De-
cember, 1894, Jtve had loaned $()9,S00: cash
then in the hands of the grand treasurer,
$846.,04, making a total of $78,207.01.
We have now in cash in grand
treasurer's hands $.".048 CG
Loans amounting to 87.U53 00
Total $92,101 00
In order to keep fresh in the minds of
Masons in this state the purposes ol your
directors, we give an extract from the re-
]K>rt made, by them in 1888, which was adopt-
ed by the grand lodge:
''While no formal action was taken as to
where the board would locate the home and
commence ojiwittions, yet it was generally
understood that the board would continue,
to accumulate its funds until it could real-
ize un endowment fund ol' $100,000, and llicn
lnv te propositions for the location and
building of the home. The board feels that
in order to secure the successful operation
of the home It is necessary to have an in-
vested fund, the interest of which will in a
Kreut measure defray the expenses of the
home. Hy patiently waiting until this is ac-
complished wo can establish and maintain
a noble charity, provide for the widows and
orphans of our order without begging for
their support or taxing our lodges, and to
this end we earnestly usk this grand lodge
to cut off all unnecessary or extravagant
expenditures of its income., so that the
amount turned into lliis fund mav he in-
creased so rapidly that in four or live years
wo may be able to put the home into prac-
tical operation."
In response to the circular of the most
worthy grand master inviting proposals for
the location of the widows and orphans'
- propositions have been submitted by
the brethren and citizens at tire, nviile,
Hunt county: Corsicana, Navarro county-
Waco. McLennan county; Bryan, Brazos
^unty; Independence, Washington county;
and Willis, Montgomery county; but none
of these propositions are in accordance with
the recommendations of this dlrectorv
which were adopted by this grand lodge arid
embraced in the circular of the grand mas-
ter. Members of this board visited Creeir-
vllle and Waco and inspected the properties
offered at those places. We are inclined to
make haste slowly in the matter. The loca-
tion of the home, when made, is intended
to be for all time. The importance of a
wise selection can not be overestimated.
J his great charity is not exactly to be auc-
tioned oft; the Invitation for projvosals sim-
ply implies that should the right place make
the right kind of an offer we would accept
It and thus hasten by a few years the real-
ization of our hopes: otherwise we should
go on accumulating the fund till we are
able to buy and build what we need and
where we want it. having in view onlv the
future welfare of the institution and its
benefits to the widows and orphans of this
grand jurisdiction.
We aro unable to recommend the accept-
ance of any of the propositions thus far
submitted to us and we deem it advisable
that the invitation be extended another
year and that the grand secretary notifv
the lodges of this action, and that' he also
annouhce the same through the public
prints so tar as he can without cost. an.I
that any amended or new propositions Im
tiled with the grand treasurer by the 1st
day of September, 1890.
For information, we repeat here the rec-
ommend at ions of our last report as to tho
requirements of the home:
"It is believed that the purposes of the
home will require a. tract of land containing
not less than 200 acres suitable for agricul-
ture, and conveniently located near some
city or large town, with a good supplv of
wood and water, and it must be in a
healthy locality."
In addition to this there should be of
money sufficient to erect suitable buildings
and to make other needed improvements,
under plans and specifications to be here-
after prepared by the grand lodge, or under
its direction, and such donation of money
might be raised by popular subscription,
payable in installments as the building pro-
gresses, but guaranteed or scoured in some
way so as to relieve the grand lodge of the
responsibility of collecting the same. Fra-
ternally submitted,

Dr. Stanrt's Examination.
Houston, Tex., May 31.- Dr. 1>. F. Stuart,
an old physician of this city and a brigade
surgeon during the late war. was the lirst
doctor who saw the body of the late Major
Baker after his violent death last Tuesday
morning. . in referring particularly to the
nature of the injuries, he stated that the
Injuries to the face indicated that a terri-
ble force and terrible weapon must have
been used. The nose was broken, mashed
Ilat, both jawbones were crushed and the
lower jaws broken from the upper. Some
of the teeth were knocked out anil the roof
of the mouth was all broken, lie didn't
believe much that, he was shot, bul it he
was the ball didn't enter the eye but came
out ol it, hence the shot must have en-
tered under the chin and ranged upward,
making its exit there. The eye could have
been forced out by some pointed instru-
ment, not necessarily very sharp, li could
na\e come up through the mouth after
having entered under the chin. The idea
the doctor said had been advan I that
the concussion from the discharge of a
pistol against the face had caused the ter-
\racture of the bones of the la > .
Alter hearing this he returned ami again
made an examination verv closely of the
wounes, but round no evidence of powder
burns anywhere. It would have shown
had tho injuries been inflicted in that wav.
He also stated that a part of the tongue
was cut off. and from the corners of tho

with the faculty committee on book store
in regard to organizing a co-operative as-
sociation. whereby the students may pro-

cheaply than at present. A committee is
to be appointed to make a canvass of the
students and get their aid. It is proposed
to have every student enter the association
and pay a membership fee of ?2. A board
of directors will be elected by the share-
holders, who will appoint a student as
clerk, and for his services a suitable sal-
ary will be fixed. Members will get their
books, etc., at a slight advance above cost
to pay necessary expenses, such as clerk
hire, expressage and insurance. Non-mem-
bers, of course, will be required to pay
slightly above these rates. The present
charges for books is rather high and this
move is decidedly in the interest of econ-

a Greek,
The Tehuacana orchestra furnished tho
latest music for the occasion, which added
greatly to the enjoyment of the programme.
To say that the rendition of this pro-
gramme was good is putting too low an es-
timate on it.
It was splendidly done and each partici-
pant deserves the highest praise for his
successful efforts.
Two characters in the play, Ingomar,
should receive special mention, viz.. Par-
thenia and Ingomar. Kaoh understood the.
parts so perfectly well that It seemed more
like a reality than otherwise.
Prof. Landrum has full mastery of him-
self on tho stage and if only he should
turn his attention especially to that line
of work would in a short time be a "star."
Miss Ilartman played the part of Par-
thenia exceedingly well. She possesses tal-
ents of extraordinary worth for the drama
and if only cultivated would certainly at-
tract the attention of the dramatic circle.
The chapel, and a very spacious one. too.
was full. A largo number of citizens from
Mexia were out. also representatives from
Worthnm and Hubbard City were among
the many faces. Every one highly en-
joyed the exercises and we are onlv "sorry
that it is our last opportunity of being en-
tertained by such a feast under the direc-
tion of Prof. Landrum this year.
Last night the Thimothean society gave
a gn at banquet and entertainment.

veteran fishermen who clean their own tlsh.
But there is always a best way in every-
thing. The best way to overcome or pre-
vent malaria, to conquer incipient rheuma-
tism or kidney trouble, and to relieve dys-
pepsia, biliousness, constipation and nerv-
ousness, is to begin without delay, and to
pursue steadily and regularly, the use of
llostetter's Siomueh llitt- rs. a standard
medicine indorsed by medical men every-
where. It strengthens ihe system and im-
proves the appetite and sleep of those who
employ it as a restorative, and accom-
plishes health-giving results which fairly
astonish those previously unacquainted
with its efficacy. Invalids of all sorts testi-
fy in its behalf. It is the leading tonic of
this era.
