PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY.
The fiercest April snow storm
ever known in that section visit-
ed North Dakota Tuesday. Over
a foot of snow fell and railroad
traffic is at a standstill with the
exception of through passenger
trains on the Northern Pacific.
On the same day heat prostra-
tions were reported from New
York.
Irish leaders who are in this
country raising funds declare
that insurrection will surely fol-
low England’s attitude in Ire-
land. Enforcement of the Grimes
act will, it is expected, be re-
sisted to to the uttermost. The
leaders say the Irish are well
prepared for rebellion and anxious
to fight.
One of the worst earthquakes
for many years occurred in the
republic of Guatemala last Fri-
day night. Three cities, one
with a population of more than
25,000, were reduced to ruins.
In one of the cities 500 people
are reported killed, and the loss
of life was reported great at each
place.
Some scientists are now mak-
ing the claim that they can man-
ufacture eggs and that the arti-
ficial egg duplicates the product
of the hen in every respect ex-
cept for the purpose of progeni-
ture. Truly this is an age of
adulteration, and some people
may have to keep tab on the
ben’s nest in order to be sure
they are getting the real article.
In order to meet the expenses
of war England will tax flour
and wheat. Why not beer, wine,
tobacco, tea, coffee and other
things. These things are of no
real value and the people can do
without them and not suffer. It
appears to a man in this country
that the necessities of life should
be taxed last instead of first.
Bob Fitzsimmons has posted a
forfeit of $2,500 to bind a match
with Champion Jeffries, Jeffries
to select a club and terms for the
scrap. _
It is reported that a little Ken-
tucky preacher, in a small town,
on a small salary, accidentally
bet five dollars on a horse race.
A church trial and censure fol-
lowed, when lo, a Chicago church
gives him a call and $15,000 sal-
ary. He says he won more on
the horse race than he expected.
Don’t let this story cause all the
small-salaried preachers to go to
betting on a horse race.
A storm passed over the south-
western portion of Oklahoma
Monday doing much damage to
property and killing several peo-
ple. Every building in the town
of Heddick was leveled to the
ground and a large number of
stores and residences were de
molished at other places. .
People who enjoy juggling
with numbers may find interest
in the item that according to an
eminent French statistician, at
6 o’clock April 18th, a billion
minutes had elapsed since the
beginning of the Christian era.
This gives us a pretty fair idea
of what a mighty number a
billion is, and yet it is predicted
that it will not be many years
until two or three of America’s
great financiers will each possess
a billion dollars.
Recently there has been much
discussion of the availability of
Southern men for President and
of the probable effect of the nom-
ination of a Southern Democrat
upon the success of the party at
the polls. This discussion was
engendered by the declaration of
several Missouri Congressmen in
favor of Congressman Joe Bailey
as Democracy’s presidential can-
didate two , years hence. Mr.
Bailey advised his friends that
his nomination would be impoli-
tic and stated further that he be-
lieved the presidency beyond any
southern man of his generation,
but Northern Democrats are say-
ing that a Southern Democrat
would poll tne full party strength
in the North. The Signal would
really be pleased at the nomina-
tion of a Southern man. For
many years we have heard ora-
tors declare from the rostrum and
have read in the great journals
of the land that there is no long-
er a North or South, but one
grand united country. We
would like to ascertain whether
there be any truth in the state-
ments. So far as office is con-
cerned it has been all north and
no south since the cannons
ceased to boom in 1865. All this
time Southern Democrats have
loyally supported every northern
man nominated, and it seems to
us that if southern men are not
barred forever and aye, thirty-
six years is long enough for the
gates to be closed against them.
Poorly?
“ For two years I suffered ter-
ribly from dyspepsia, with great
depression, and was always feeling
poorly. I then tried Ayer’s Sarsa-
parilla, and in one week I was a
new man.”—John McDonald,
Philadelphia, Pa.

The Signal is in receipt of a
reproduction of the last issue of
the Vicksburg Citizen, published
at Vicksburg, Miss., during the
civil war, dated July 2nd, 1863,
which contains several interest-
ing items of war news of that
day. The entire edition was

The little town of Pecan Gap
is to have another banking insti-
tution, owned and controlled by
C. H. Weldon & Co., of Ladonia.
A national bank was established
there last year. The rivalry be-
tween the two Ladonia banka has
led to one of the warmest com-
mercial fights ever known to this
country, and the country there-
about is reaping benefits in the
way of substantial improvements.
Each of the institutions is erect-
ing a splendid bank building in

Pecan Gap. In addition to these
each oontrols an oil mill and a
large gin in Ladonia and one of
the banks controls the oil mill at

murder committed in Van Zandt
county in 1879. Watson’s pe-
tition alleges that the grand jury
which rendered the indictment
against him was composed of
thirteen men instead of twelve,
as prescribed by law. The trial
has been set for May 1st.
The Democrats won a signal
victory in congress in the vote on
the Cuban Reciprocity bill. The
reduction was only 20 per cent,
which men posted on Cuban af-
fairs say will not give any relief
to the stricken people, but the
Democrats gained a great point
in knocking out the amendment
allowing a differential on refined
sugar. They succeeded in di-
viding the Republicans and in
placing the Republican party on
record as favoring the sugar
trust against the oppressed Cu-
bans. When the bill reaches the
Senate they hope to secure a
much greater reduction and
when the bill goes to the confer-
ence committee to secure a con-
cession of at least 40 per cent, in
favor of the Cubans.

Jesse L. Rogers, the Paris in
surance agent who has been such
a familiar figure around the
various court rooms of that city
for the past month or so, is in
trouble once more. Officers ar-
rived in Paris from Tazewell,
Tenn., Tuesday with a big paper
bearing the name of Gov. Mc-
Millan and the seal of Tennessee,
calling on Governor Sayers to
deliver to the officers the said
Jesse L. Rogers, who is wanted
in his old Tennessee home to
answer a charge of embezzle
ment of trust funds. Jesse, in
1901, was the duly appointed
guardian of his four minor
brothers and sisters and em
bezzeled funds of the estate to
the amount of 1500. Rogers is
said to have informed the Paris
authorities that he had rather go
back to Tennessee than stay in
Paris as charges against him
here are more numerous.
Roy Hayes, a young man
about 20 years of age, died at
Paris Sunday from the effects of
an overdose of morphine. He was
married just two weeks ago to
Miss Eunice Patterson,of Roxton.
It is not known whether the drug
was taken with suicidal intent or
not. No inquest was held.

<where the next reunion of the
United Confederate Vsterans
shall be held has been decided
in favor of New Orleans. The
claims of this city to entertain
the veterans in 1903 have been
ably put before the association
and its members by such dis
tinguished men as Governor
Heard, of Louisiana, Hon. Paul
Capdevielle, Mayor of New Or-

the Crescent City’s most promi-

union of New Orleans, and many
other well known men interested
in the industrial developement
of Louisiana and Texas.

The Noted Merchant and Philanthropist of
Texas Passed Away at Pasedena, Cal.
Philip Sanger died at Pasade-
na, Cal., at 4 o’clock yesterday
afternoon. While he has been in
frail health for months the tele-
gram which announced his de-
mise came in the nature of a
great shock to his relatives, em-
ployes and friends.
Shortly after his return from
Northern States in September,
1901, and while planning a sur-
prise for his wife, he was seized
with an attack of catarral fever.
He was confined to his home all
during the State Fair and did
not appear at the store again un-
til the early days of December,
when he immediately began to
prepare for the holiday trade
campaign. A few days after he
caught cold and suffered a re-
lapse of his former malady.
A week ago yesterday, acting
on the advice of his physicians,
Mr. Sanger departed for Califor-
nia, accompanied by Mrs. San-
gers, son and two daughters and
physician and trained nurses.
Telegrams received by Mr. Alex
Sanger daily were of a favorable
nature and it was thought that
the change of climate would build
up the shattered constitution of
the invalid and that in time he
would return to Texas fully re-
stored. The end came yesterday,
as announced above. The body
will be brought to Dallas by the
bereaved widow and her children
and notice of funeral will be
given later along. Philip San-
ger was one of the foremost bns-
iness men of the South, widely
known in mercantile and finan-
cial circles and a veteran soldier
of the Confederacy.—Da lias
News, Tuesday.
CONSTIPATION
It is surprising how many people there are who
allow themselves to become and remain consti-
pated. They apparently do not know that this
condition poisons the entire system. Not imme-
diately of course, but after a little time as the poi-
sonous impurities accumulate they attack the vital
organs and undermine the constitution. As a re-
sult, the victim becomes pale, hollow-eyed and
sallow, the breath is foul, the head aches fre-
quently, the strength slowly declines and the once
strong, active body becomes weak and nervous.
Prickly Ash Bitters
is a cleansing tonic and restorative just suited to
such conditions. It is a genial stimulant for the
stomach, liver and bowels, purifies the system thor-
oughly and invigorates the kidneys, conveying
strength and new life to the whole internal organ-
ism. Under its marvelous reviving influence there
is at once a brightening up in body and brain, re-
newed energy, strength, vim and cheerfulness.

A Small Wreck.
The eastbound Texas & Pacific
passenger train did not get in
this morning until after 11 o’clock
on account of a westbound
freight being slightly wrecked
three miles west of town at Lake
Gordon. The Advocate men-
tioned two or three days ago that
the recent heavy rains had
caused the embankment at the
lake to slide down several inches.
On account of the bank slip-
ping from the railroad track, the
embankment which forms the
dam for the lake, has settled
more than a foot. This was the
cause of the accident. While
the freight train was crossing
the embankment the rails spread
and one of the boxcars left the
track and turned over, but did
not roll into the water. In leav-
ing the track one of the rails
was kinked and a piece of it had
to be cut out and patched before
trains could pass.
The switch engine and crew
went out to the scene of the
wreck and helped to repair the
track. The wreck was cleared
and the freight train had to be
backed to town and take a siding
before the passenger could come
in. The wreck was not serious
and nobody was hurt.—Paris

Working Capital to be $ioo,000,000.
New York, April 22.—It has
been definitely decided on by
the United States Steel Corpo-
ration to issue the circular giv-
ing details of the proposed bond
combination next Saturday or
Monday. Copies of the circu-
lar have been mailed to foreign
shareholders and final announce-
ment will be simultaneous here

In addition to the plan to re-
tire $200,000,000 of 7 per cent
preferred stock and issue $250,
000,000 of 5 per cent bonds, the
circular will, it is expected, out-
line numerous improvements
contemplated by the operating
officials. It is understood that
fully $25,000,000 to $30,000,000
of the corporation’s new capital
will be devoted to modernizing
the plants of the constituent
companies. With the extra
$50,000,000 derived from the
bond issue, the Steel Corpora-
tion will have more than $100,
000,000 working capital.

Former King Dead.
Epinay, Department of the
Seine., France, April 17.—Don
Francisco d’Assix, the former
king of Spain, died here last
night at the age of eighty years.
He was expelled from Spain in
1868.
Don Francisco d’Assiz, duke
of Cadiz, was born at Aranjuez,
Spain, May 13, 1822, and Oct.
10, 1846, was married at Madrid
to his cousin, Queen Isabella II
of Spain, and was the same day
proclaimed king of Spain.
Queen Isabella and her husband
were expelled from Spain as a
result of the revolution of Sept.
30, 1868. She formally abdica-
ted the throne in Paris June 25,
1870, in favor of her son, the
late King Alfonso XII, father of
the present king of Spain, Al-
phonso XIII. The latter, who
was proclaimed king under the
regency of his mother on the day
of his birth, May 17, 1886, is to
be crowned May 17 next.
