CAR SHORTAGE EXP’lCTED.
Railroad men are repeating their
learning of last year to northwestern
dealers and consumers to place their
orders for coal as early as possible
in order to safeguard themselves
against delays Incident to a conges-
tion of traffic, with incidental short-
ness in the car supply. They had
reason for their warning of list year,
despite the fact tnat business for
months previous had been dlscourag-
ingly light, but this year they have
what amounts*to almost assurance of
difficulty .ahead in the fact that traf-
fic in all departments of the carrying
business Is increasing rapidly. There
are 260,000 idle cars in the United
States, Canada and Mexico at the presr
ent time, but orders for rolling stock
are compelling the utilization of
these cars so rapidly that managers
are becoming nervous in regard to
the coal trade. Indications point to
an exceptionally heavy movement In
grain during the months in which de-
layed orders for fuel must be filled In
order to obviate puttering during the
first cold weather of winter, and those
who wish to avoid anxiety and trou-
ble are advised to place their orders
as aooa as possible.
Paul Morton’s plan of keeping
money In the country by levying an ex-
port tax on American heiresses who
marry foreigners ana go abroad is
based on patriotic feeling, but the no-
tion la not new—in fact it was em-
bodied in a bill introduced in the re-
cent congress by Representative Sab-
moth of Illinois. Mr. Morton la not
alone in thinking it a pity that Amer-
icana should fall down and worship
titles. When his rage is excited by
the spectacle of a splendid American
girl with a rich father throwing her-
self away upon a decadent sprig of
European aristocracy, he la in the
same state as thousands of other free
Americans witnessing the same sorry
spectacle, says the Milwaukee Wis-
consin. If a practical remedy far the
evil can be found it will be widely wel-
comed—but more especially if it be
not inconsistent with the fine old
American principle of individual lib-
erty.
It ti a graceful act on the part of
the British government to order an
entire squadron of cruisers to this
country to take part in the Hudson-
Fulton celebration this fall. The af-
fair will be distinctly American. Nev-
ertheless it will Have significance for
the entire world. The discovery of
the Hudson led ultimately to the de-
velopment of a region that has be-
come one of the most Important on
the globe, And Fulton’s experiment
marked the beginning of the era of
fteam navigation, of which the mighty
navy of Great Britain, part of which
Till be present at the commemoration,
is an outgrowth. Ships of other na-
tions also will be on hand, and one at
the greatest features of the pageantry
will be the display of steam vessels
indicating- the growth in that direc-
tion since the Clermont made her
epochal trip,
ThC test of Hiram Percy Maxim’s
aoiseless cannon of large bore is to M
made at Hartford, Conn., where he la
at the present time. In October he
will go to Europe for the purpose of
demonstrating fata invention. Mr.
Maxim’s patents for noiseless.weapons
protects him in Japan as well as in
the countries of Europe. Invention
of death dealing devices, however,
continues Active there as well as here.
From Berlin comes reports of the ap-
plication of principles of wireless
telegraphy to the setting off of mines.
An electric wave, transmitted from
the operating point, produces a spark
in the apparatus connected with the
mine. Both army and electrical ex-
perts declare that the Invention will
revolutionize modern warfare.
The government bulletin reports the
average condition of cotton at 63.7
per cent, of normal, and on this basis
the total output will be about 10,250,-
000 bales, whereas the yield last year
was 13,800,000 bales. The world’s con-
sumption of cotton is placed at 13,-
100,000 bales annually. These figures
convey their own comment as to how
closely the supply will approximate
the demand. Certainly there seems
to be no need of restricting cotton
growing next year in order to avert
the accumulation of an embarrassing
surplus.

Preparing for the Insane.
Austin: Reports from Sheriffs of
about 220 counties that have been re-
cate that 211 lunatics are in jails,
cate that 211 lunatics are in jails. The
The Governor has called for this in-
formation so as to enable the manage-
ment of the insane asylums to deter-
mine whether accommodations aug-
mented by buildings now under con-
struction will be sufficient for the in-
sane of the State. An addition is being
constructed at the Austin Asylum
which will accommodate about 400 pa-
tients. Should this not be room
enough the Governor will create a de-
ficiency sufficient to provide adequate
accommodations for the insane who
must come here. His attitude toward
the other asylums is the same. “When
I go out of office,” said Governor
Campbell, “there will not be an Insane
person in a jail in Texas if I can
Jjielp it”
Injured Man A«ks to be Shot.
Beaumont: M. B. Laughlin, a switch-
man employed on the Texas and New
Orleans local yard engine, fell between
the cars Saturday night and received
injuries from which he died about mid-
night. He was walking on top of the
pars and was stepping from one car
to another just as they were, gut in two
to make a switch. He fell to the
track and the cars passed over him.
His legs were crushed and he was
foiled along under the cars and man-
gled, but lived about three hours. He
pleaded with those about him to shoot
him and end his misery.

Kaufman: Saturday night at Daugh-
erty Lake, between Crandall and For-

a bunch of negroes who were rolling
dice. There were about 150 negroes
in the game, some women, and when
the officers commanded them to con-
sider themselves under arrest they
opened fire on the officers, twenty-
five shot being fired before the offi-
cers pulled their guns. Two negroes
were shot and killed by^officers.
TAFT-DIAZ PROGRAM
Boys Shoot Trainmen.
San Antonio: Conductor W. Moyn-
ahan and Brakeman R. E. Boyd of the

shot and painfully wounded Monday
night by a gang of boys who were

ing seven and ranging in age from 18

the country for a hunt. They were
found by the trainmen and put off. As
the train pulled out the boys opened
fire with shotguns loaded with bird-
shot
Hill County Pecan Crop.
4 Hillsboro: The pecan crop will not
be a total failure in this county, as
was expected earlier in the season.
On the contrary, there appears to be
a heavier yield than usual in some
places on the Brazos River, though
the general crop will not, it is thought,
be larger than that of last year.

Juarez, Mexico, takes place next month
the intervening territory will be foi
this occasion regarded as neutral ter
ritory and flags of either nation will

because of the shifting of the channel

George S. Crowell, 1109 Broadway.
Helena, Mont, says: “1 was troubled
with a disordered
condition of the kid-
neys, some backache-

began using them. This remedy helped
me at once, strengthened my kidneys
and corrected the disordered condi-
tion.”
