The worat hail storm in the his-
tory of the city swrpt this section
Thursday night. E lormous hail
stones tell; many people report them
as large as hen’s engs. A great
many window panes were broken.
Tm roofs suffered severely. The
grocery house of Alex Campbell,
corner of Scullin avenue and Chest-
nut street was struck ar.d damaged.
His barn, covered with tin, was
ruined, perforated with hundreds of
holes. The beautiful colored plate
windows ot the Waples Memorial
church were pitted and turned. The'
skylights in the photograph galleries
were demolished. The glass sky-
light at Madden's was made a sieve.
Citizens report great damage tojbe
hot houses. John D. Ouiafid is
probably the greatest sufferer tn the
city. Joe Fritz, an extensive truck
grower southwest of the city, re-
ports gardens ruined and that fruit
of all kind is seriously damaged. He
estima es the loss to fruit at least
fifty per cent. Mr. Pnckett, who
owns a number of houses in East
Denison, reports great destruction of
window glasses. The most serious
loss so far reported is to the Munson
nursery. His vast flower gardens
were literally cut to pieces. His
green house, comprising hundreds
of windows were all broken and the
render plants badly damaged. We
understand that many windows at
Cotton Mill south frontage were de-
molished. Hundreds af chickens
roosting in trees were pelted to
| death by hail stones.. The storm
came from the southwe.st ai d left a
wake of destruction. Farmers
j coming in from that section report
| great destruction *0 gatdens and
I fruit crop. It is said the country
around Pottsboro is devastated. It
I is beluvtd that Denison did not re-
jeeive full force of the storm and tb-
| when repoVts come in the losses
j prove to be very serious. As the
j Gazktt^kr goes to press early Fri-
day morning the fuli reports are not
i available. One thing is certain, the
| total loss will run up into the
I thousands.

Without tbe action of the execu-
tive committee*, tbe *o called Ter-
rell election law provide* that can-
didates receiving a plurality or mi-
j rity of the votes cast at primary
elections, shall be declared the nom-
inees of the different parties. In
view of the fact that said law also
vests in the executive committees
luthority to provide suitable tests
for those offering to vote, it is be-
yond comprehension why any patri-
otic democrat of Grayson county
should advocate a second primary.
The Uaxrttekr believes that a
great majority of tbe democratic
voters of Texas are honest and pa-
triotic and no community ot
great commonwealth can boast
better citizenship than Graysoir
county. With the poll tax amend-
ment, sate-guarded as it is, and
carrying heavy penalties for the vio-
lation of its provis ons, together with
the authority of the executive com-
mittee Jo prescribe a proper test for
the voters, it it a slander4m the fair
name of Grayson county democrats
to say that the candidate receiving a
pluraltty of the votes is not worthy
ot the nomination and that he shall
be put to the further trouble and
expense of making a second race.
No capable and tair candidate wants
a second primary and the Gazkt-
tkku is of the opinion that tbe great
majjrity of the farmers and business
men do not want to be annoyed with
two primaries — possibly three or
four — and the regular election in
one year. To say that the people
cannot be trusted to select their can-
didates in the Usual way, when our
election laws have been so perfected,
is an unjust imputation, and this
movement for a second primary
must be in tbe interest of desigmng
persons who want to dictate the
nomination of certain candidates
without regard to the wishes ot those
who have been voting the democratic
ticket for years from pure patriotism,
and with tbe firm conviction that tbe
candidate receiving the most votes
"\hould win. Neither the candidates
nor the voters want this second pri-
mary. It will disturb business,
make enemies of friends and neigh
bors, keep the county in a turmoil
for the whole year, and put a heavy
and unjust burden on the candidates.
What-would the people lay to a
proposition tor a double primary tor
state, district, county, precinct and
city primaries ? If it is good for one,
why not for all? burely the execu-
tive committee will declare against
this foolish and unwise proposition,
to the end that the voters may have
chance.

as candidate for re-election to the
position of constable. Officer Duer
dfclaree.ihat be is willing to stand
square upon his record wh:cb Ir cer-
tainly the mist reliable data to judge
an rfficer.
Mr. Duer is an r fficer of many
years’ experience. He was a mem
her of the sheriff’s force and Sheriff
Russell goes on record as saying
that be never had a more efficient
deputy. If he wanted any particu-
lar work done one of the very first
men that be would call on was I. R.
Duer. Probably 00 constable has
more arrests to their record than
Officer Duer. He has proved him
self on many occasions as a detective
of first-class ability. He has run to
cover many a criminal, cases that
other officers had despaired ot cap-
turing. ' He has resided in Texas
many years and has been a resident
of this city a number ot years. His
family reside here and this is his
permanent home. Constable Duer
has no opposition at present and
probably will not have any.
Notwithstanding President Roose-
velt has repeatedly stated he is not a
candidate for re-election his decision
to make another of those popular
trips “around the circle’’ is causing
several eminent republicans to feel
uneasy.

It is a favorite hobby with a cer-
tain class of preachers to enlarge
upon the immorality ot actors and
actresses, as a warning to give thea-
ter* a wide berth. This ha* stirred
up the actors to look up the statistics.
Henry E. Dixey, bimsfelf a well
known actor, bat offered $1,000 to
be gived to chanty to any one who
will prove that actors are not as good
as minister* and a correspondent of
one ot the eastern papers hat gone
to the prison records for information.
He gives the figures from forty
states and territories as furnished by
the prison authorities, which show
the following total*. Preachers,
inmates, 43; actors, jo. Nine of
the preachers were negroes, and
there were “many” negro preachers
in the Florida penitentiary, number
not stated.
have no idea what the present circu-
lation it but it is certainly very large.
The Texa* Farm and Ranch de-
serves to reach the goal of its ambi-
tion at H it unquestionably the best
nil around publication of its charac-
ter in the United State*. That
hundred thousand subscribers should
be obtained in Texas. The Farm
and Ranch should be in every hou?e-
hold in the state. It is not only an
ideal farm publication, but e»er»
woman and child would be tbe bet-
ter for the reading of it. There it
at present a farm publication on our
desk that has an affidavit attached
claiming three hundred and fifty
thousand circulation, yet the Farm
and Ranch is so infinitely superir r
to it in every feature that a compar-
ison as to merit would be invidious.
It is a cheap flashy publication,
largely plate matter and evidently
many ot it* writers never did any
farming outside ot an offi;e desk.
If the merits ot Farm and Ranch
are truly appreciated it will before
the year ending 1906 have two huA
dred thousand instead of one
hundred thousand.
The Gazetteer is indebted to
Congressman Randeli for a bulletin
on descriptive geology, entitled
“Taconic Physiography,” which
embodies the results of long and
careful study of the relations between
land torms and lithologic character
and structure of the underlying rocks,
by Government Geologist C. W.
Haye#. It contain* many interest-
ing illustrations.
A long suffering public would
like to know what the management
of the M. K, & T. is going to do
about an adequate depot tor Deni-
son. Every day marks the necessi-
ty for it more keenly.—Herald.
We have been treated for months
with articles like the above, concern-
ing the erection of a building in
which tbe railroads attend to their
customers. There is no criticism of
tbe H. & T. C. or Frisco, who are
jointly interested in the depot. The
M. K. & T. alone has *o stand the
spite of the writer. When the con-
ditions are ripe Denison will get a
new depot. How much will it cost?
It may cost the railroads seyeral
thousand dollars, while the cost to
tne city will be .incalculable, from
tact that she has gone about it in the
wrong way. Abuse or ridicule may
ultimately secure what we desire
but what this city needs far bebond
any new depot is tbe good will of
the M. K. & T., enlarged shops,
and increased bread earning capac-
ity. We cannot expect these
benefits from constantly harrassing
our best friend. This whole cam-
paign of fault-finding with the M.
K. & T. is a mistake. The gooner
it is stopped the better it will be tor
the city. *

OF INTERE8T TO OIBOUS-GOEBS
Mammoth Exhibition of Dog and Pony
8how Origan Offers a New Sensation.
The Great Gentry Shows united,
will exhibit in Denison next Monday
April 30.
The exhibition, with its wonder-
ful animal actors, was, until a few
years ago, exclusively a dog and
pony show, and as such has gained
a national reputation as the best of
its kind in America. Times change,
however, and with the same pro-
ressiveness which made them famo-
us as dogs and pony showmen, the
Gentry Brothers have climbed the
ladder higher and higher, with the
result that the exhibition which they
bring to this city this year, while in
the main a trained animal exhibi
tion, is tar beyond the dog and pony
show of a few years back. In the
strict sense ot the term, the Gentry
Brothers are not offering a circus,
but, in the opinion ot many, their
entertainment is far superior to one.
The rough element, theidisreputable
characters, hangers-on, or rowdyism,
is all lacking. The show is, as
always, spotlessly clean, conducted,
as heretofore on tbe highest princi-
ples, managed by the proprietors
themselves, whose one object is to
make money, at the same time doing
their best to give more amusement
value than any other tented exhibi
tion in the country. It is hardly
necessary to add that the “big show”
wdl contain a number of new feat-
ure acts this season. Such, how-
ever, is the case, and one act in
particular, which the Gentry’s pre-
sent with much pr de, is a real troupe
of Japanese performers, whose equal
at posturers, jugglers, tumblers and
daring acrobats, cannot be seen with
any other exhibition, be it tbe
"world’s greatest” or otherwise.
In experimenting last season it was
found that the Gentry patrons pre-
ferred a diversified program, and
while the animal actors as a matter
of course, still predominate, the
main performance is of such magni-
tude and calibre that it may be truth-
fully heralded as the best if not the
biggest on earth. As heretofore
there are no tide shows, or ca’ch-
penny devices of any kind with the
show. While it now requires twelve I
cars, each seventy feet long, to
transport the show and while the
expense of operating, big salary lists,
etc., are much greater, tbe regular
prices of admission will be observed
during the Denison engagement,
which is for two performances, mat-
inee and night. The show grounds
will be located at City Park.
