Respecting the proposed (repairs
and improvements to the Temple Y.
M. C. A. building and Its equipment,
the plans therefor were well under
way last year at the time the finan-
cial panic swept the country. The
"hard times" ensuing caused the di-
rectors and Secretary Burgess to con-
clude It to be practically futile to at-
tempt the raising of funds by popular
subscription, until more normal con-
ditions had been restored. As above
stated, it is the sense of the leaders
in the Y. M. C. Association that con-
ditions now are auspicious for vig-
orously persuing the work to com-
pletion,
One of the most needed Improve-
ments at the building is a new, mod-

London, Aug. 14.—Two persons
were klled and six injured by an ex-
plosion this morning at the Franco-
British exhibition of the envelope of
a balloon owned by Captain Love-
lace of the New York Aero club.
Preparations for ascent were being
made when the accident occurred. The
cause is supposed to have been the
throwing down of a lighted match.
Miss Hill, aged 18, secretary to Cap-

killed. She was burned to a cinder.
The other person killed was a man,
and the six men that sustained in-

CHAS. BURKES RETURNS
FROM CONVENTION
Deputy Sheriff Charles Burkes was
in the city yesterday, en route to Bel-
ton from the Democratic State Con-
vention.
He refers optimistically to his can-
didacy for sergeant at arms in one of
the houses at the next State Leglsla
ture.. f lg known that he has gilt
edge support in his offering for this
position.
both of these lines were attached to
the same hydrant which, in turn, was
connected with a small main.
The average loss of water at the
nozzel thru a line of hose is estima-
ted by hydraulic engineers at twen-
ty live pounds for every one hundred
feet of hose, on account of the addi-
tional friction. It is to be readily
seen, from all of the foregoing, that
when a fire originates in a suburban
district where hydrants are infre-
quently located, and it is necessary
for the fire department to lay one or
more lengthy lines of hose, that the
pressure at the nozzle is necessarily
to "be proportionately reduMd. The
remedy for this will be applied to the
extent it is found possible by the re-
sponsible authorities.
A like .condition was encountered
at the fire which destroyed the col-
ored Baptist church last week: i. e., it
was necessary, in order to reach the
blaze, to lay long lines of hose from
remotely situated hydrants.

Chicago, Aug. 14.—With the or-
ganization of a speakess' bureau of
the democratic nationsl committee
practically completed, John H. At-
wood at the head of the bureau, today
sent out nearly thirty speakers in
response to requests from democratic
organizations In various parts of the
country.
This vanguard of speakers will be
followed by others in great nnmber.
and Mr. Atwood said they would be
sent to every part of the United Sta-
tes wherever their services were need
ed. The chairman of the speakers'
bureau declared the issues of the
campaign would not lack for expres-
sion because of any Inadequacy of his
bureau.
"Speakers are volunteering their
services in large numbers." said Mr.
Atwood, "and no less than twelve
United States senators have written
me stating they are ready to go on
the stump. Every speaker that has
been sent out has been a volunteer in
the cause and ready to pay his own
campaign expenses. We will send
out a speaker whoever they are re-
(fnesteed for a while, but later the
national coinjnlttee will prepare a de-
tailed plan of speaking campaign and
Mr. D. C. Randall reported yester-
day to a Telegrammist that several
j bales of cotton, prevously brought
here on wagons for marketing had
afterward been taken to Belton, and
sold to Mr. W. R. Miller, a cotton
buyer well known in this city and at
the county seat where he now resides.
The reason for this, as given by
Mr. Randall are two: That the buy-
ers representing, locally, the cotton-
buying firms are, from year to year,
invariably late in being on the scene,
and receiving quotation-authoriza-
tions for purchases in the open mar-
ket; and second, that the buyers now
on the ground are unable to offer
for cotton, as much as Miller at Bel-
ton is doing.
Mr. Randall says that the highest
offer yesterday here was 9.50 and the
owners of the cotton took their pro-
duct to Belton and there received 10
cents per pound. This cotton, he said
came mostly from the Little River
section.
ns
Mr. Randall is of the opinion that
such a condition is not proving bene-
ficisl to Temple. The farmers who
come here first with their cotton only

GEO. HOUGHTON RETURNS

Mr. Geo. Houghton reached home
yesterday morning from Kansas City
where be had gone on a hurried bu-
siness trip last week. He reports the
Middle West to be in a highly pros-
perous condition and trade prospects
for the fall and winter to be the very
best.
"Has Kansas City paved streets,"
Mr. Houghton was asked by a Tele-
grammist loquaciously. "Paved
streets!' he said' " miles of them.
And they do not stop with the streets.
In many directions for forty miles
and more, they have a system of the
finest macadamised roads to be found
any where in the world."
Kansas City, he says, is the "heart
of the nation" for business; and be-
to find that by making a ten mile
