Attractions for the Fourth.
There is a move on foot headed
by one or two of the town’s pro-
gressive business men to have a
tournament of sports at the ball
bark on the afternoon of the fourth.
It is the purpose to have races
of various kinds, a shooting con-
test by the local gun club, a
baseball game, jumping, voulting,
etc. The undertaking will meet
with much favor and should be
carried out.
Further particulars will be pub-
lished in tomorrow’s Herald.

A TERRIBLE EXPLOSION
‘‘Of a gasoline stove burned n lady
here frightfully,” writes N\ E.
Palmer of Kirkman, la. ‘‘The
best doctors couldn’t heal the run-
ning sore that followed, but Buck-
len’s Arnica Salve entirely cured
her.” Infallible for Cuts, CornB,
Sores, Boils, Bruises, Skin Dis-
eases and Piles. 25c at H. A.
Snoddy’s.
A. ’L. Houser, of the Big Valley
country was in town yesterday
trading. In talking to a Herald
reporter in regard to crop condi-
tions, Mr. Houser said that corn
was ruffering badly, but that cotton
was holding its own. The latter
crop was well worked and that no
insect of any description had
bothered it yet.
Our prices the lowest, our terms
easy. Call early. Northeast Cor-
ner Square, Weatherford, Texas.

Byron Flanary, Esq., is in town
today from Dallas.
8tock Panic.
A panic in Wall street, involving
millions of dollars, is no more
nerve-racking than the panic
which seiies the man who realises
that he is hopelessly in the grasp
of constipation, dyspepsia or any
form of stomach or bowel trouble.
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is the
only guaranteed cure for these
trouble*. Sqjd by Reynolds k
Mountcastle.
The Work of Knaves.
Supposedly at about uoon Tues-
day some person or persons, whose
makettp is constituted of base
meanness chiefly, took from the
hitchiug chain around the square
a horse and buggy belonging to J.
T. Shaw, a farmer living a few
miles south of town. Mr. Shaw
soon missed his outfit and iuform-
ed the officers, but as it was
thought that the horse might have
gotten loose and have gone home,
nothing was made public of the
loss till late iu the afternoon.
The horse was not found there,
the officers commenced a dilligent
search which continued through
the day yesterday, but to no seem-
ing avail. Last uight, however,
Policeman Burrows heard of an
outfit answering the description of
the missing property being near
the Santa Fe road, a half-mile west
of the passenger station of that
line, yesterday. He at once re-
paired to the place spoken of and
there found both buggy and horse.
Mr. Shaw has been notified of the
recovery.
Yesterday afternoon two of the
youths of the city who are sorely
in need of guardians to keep them
from running loose and wild on
the streets, concluded that they
wanted to ride a little and got two
horses belonging to farmers, from
the chain aud road them off.
Wheu tired of the exercise, they
unbridled the animals aud turned
them loose on the outskirts of the
town. After much iuconvenience,
and worry, the owners finally re-
covered their property.
Such conduct as this is both vil-
liauousaud un-lawful, and should
be corrected by very heroic treat-
ment when the guilty parties are
brought to trial. Of such mater-
ial, it allowed to continue in their
way unbroken, or prisons and
penitentiaries are filled.
A Good Variety of Corn.
S. V. McNutt was in town Tues-
day from the Big Valley, fourteen
miles southwest, and reports nearly
all of the corn of that section in
bad condition. Mr. McNutt and
his son, however, are faring much
better than their neighbors with
this crop O11 March 14 they
planted forty-five acres with seed
of a Nebraska corn, which they
procured from a local dealer, and
this corn, one hundred days from
the time of planting, has fully ma-
tured. A sample ear, which Mr.
McNutt claims to lie only an aver-'
age, was left at this office. It is a
9^-inch ear of twenty-six rows of
large, solid, yellow grains, and it
would certainly pay others to plant
this variety next season.
Wanted—All the strictly choice
Johnson grass aud Prairie Hay
and threshed oats. H. B. Dorsey
North Main Street.
A Two-Story Brick.
Mrs. Margaret E. Haynes has
cancelled all leases and rent con-
tracts with parties occupying the
wooden buildings on her pioperty
which faces York and Dallas ave-
nues on the northwest comer of
the square, and as soon as the
buildings are vacated they will be
either moved or tom away in order
that work may commence at once
on the two-story brick business
house which Mrs. Haynes is to
have erected.
The building is to run from
the Baker, Poston & Co. building
on York avenue to the comer of
the square and is to extend back
on Dallas avenue 105 feet,
the dimensions being seventy-five
by one hundred and five feet. It
will be modem in all of its con-
veniences and will be an addition
to that part of town. The Lowe
Hardware Co. will occupy both
floors when completed.
An Advocate of Mexican
Com.
C. H. Davis, who lives near
Brock,was in town Tuesday and in
talking to a Herald man in re
gard to the corn crop said that the
drouth was affecting it very much
in his neighborhood. Mr. Davis
believes that if those whose crops
have been burned to death will
plant every spare acre iu Mexican
June corn that they will come out
winners in the long run.
Last year he planted a half-
acre patch of it. From this hall-
acre he gathered roasting ears till
fall, and then gathered fifteen
bushels of matured corn from it.
Suppose that every farmer who
crd puts in at least four or five
acres of it, much can’t be lost and
there are fine chances of great
gain.
Labor Union.
Saturday night a number of the
laboring men of the city met in
Toop’s carpenter shop, back of
Bruce’s liquor house aud organiz-
ed a labor union. L. A. Current
was elected chairman aud Dick
Bavousett, temporary chairman.
The union will meet at the
same place to night to per
feet organization and all working
men of every class are urged to be
present.
Those who were present at Sat-
urday nights meeting are: L. A.
Current, S. W. Richardson, Ed
H&rberger, J. D. Rhoten, W. L
Loyd, B. McDernntt, I. M. Haw-
kins, John A. Blevins, T. A. Bag-
gett, Van Fondren, Evan Jones,
Lex Rutlege, Dick Bavousett,
Walter Reed, Oscar Baker and
Mark Snyder.
Why remain sink? If troubled
with scrdfule, soroufulous humor,
boils, humors on the face, catarrh,
etc., we ask that you gjve Dr. Sim-
mon ^’a-sarsaparilla a trial. Fifty

County Commissioners.
The county commissioners have
been sitting all week as a board of
equalization and have been kept
exceedingly busy listening to ar-
guments from tax-payers as to
why their various properties
should not be raised in valuation.
Notwithstanding these many pro-
tests, a great many assessments
have been raised considerably.
The court will finish this work
next Wednesday.
The Fireman’s Benefit.
The house which greeted the
concert given Monday as a fire-
man’s benefit, was nothing like it
should have been considering the
cause it was given for.
Miss Evans was very pleasing
in her work, aud the young girls
whom she had trained for the dif-
ferent drills spoke much for her
ability as a teacher.
Miss Lucile Cotton, was happily
received in her readings, and Miss
Bess Stephens sang in splendid
voice,
The proceeds of the entertain-
ment amounted to about $25.00
SEVEN YEARS IN BED.
“Will wonders ever cease?” in-
quire the friends of Mrs. L. Pease,
of Lawrence, Kan. They knew
she had been unable to leave her
bed in seven years on occount of
kidney and liver trouble, hervous
prostiation and general debility;
but ‘Three bottles of Electric Bit-
ters enabled me to walk,” she
writes, “and iu three months I felt
like a new person.” Women suf-
fering from Headache, Backache,
Nervousness, Sleeplessness, Melan-
cholly, Fainting and Dizzy Spells,
will find it a priceless blessing.

Mr. and Mrs. Newt Sligar arriv-
ed this afternoon from Davis, I. T.,
where they were married yesterday.
Mr. Sligar has been a resident of
this city for several yean, and has
many friends here. The bride was
Miss Jessie Wellborn, of Davis,
and is said to be a young woman
of many e.teemable qualities
Coeke-Hood.
Of the several pretty home wed-1
dings which have occurred in
Weatherford recently, none have
occasioned more well wishes than
did that of Miss Mary Prince
Cocke and fir. Richard Bartow
Hood which occurred this afternoon
at 2:30 o’clock at the residence of
the bride’s grandmother, Mrs.
H. C. Carson.
It was a quiet home wedding
with only relatives and several
friends present. The bride and
groom, without attendants, entered
the parlor from the east door a nil ap-
proached the minister, Rev. S. E
Burkbead, w^osaid the solemn and
impressive ceremony which made
them one for eternity. After the
well-wishes and congratulations
had been said, the happy couple
were driven to the T. & P. station
where they took the afternoon
east bound for Chicago, Buffalo
and other northern cities where
they will spend several weeks.
The bride looked very pretty in
a traveling attire of brown. She
enjoys the esteem and respect of
all who know ber and is a young
woman of many ennobleing traits.
Mr. Hood is the efficient prosecu-
ting attorney for this county and
is a man of more than ordinary
integrity and ability.
Baseball.
The town is awakening from the
lethargy on baseball in which it
has been since the disbauding of
the Maroons, and there are several
games booked for the next week.
Tomorrow the Hoi Polois and
Greenwood are to have another
tug of war, and both teams are do-
ing hard practice to be in shape to
come out winners. The game
will doubtless be interesting as the
two nines are pretty evenly match-
ed. Their game Saturday was a
tie of 8 to 8 after ten innings.
Game called at 4,30. Admission,
free.
Saturday, the South Side and
Buckner nines will scrap again.
Those teams are also very evenly
matched and good sport can be
counted on. Game at 2:30.
On the fourth, the Hoi Polois
will endeavor to make the Forest-
ers bite*the dust and the contest is
looked favorable to with pleasure
by all the ball fiends of the town.

come immune or safe from small-

ing in the yard at the home of her
pareuts, Miss Urna, the thirteen-
year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
J. H. Aldridge fell from a swing
aud sustained a fracture of the
right arm as a result.
Surgeons were called in at once
and set the broken member, and
the patient is recovering nicely
from the shock.

W. B. DUTTON.
Texas Female Seminary.
We are in receipt of the twelfth
annual catalogue of the Texas
Female Seminary, and the little
volume is not only a work of ait
from the printer's view point,
doing credit to the Republic press,
but is one of the beet c-mpiled
and most neatly and cutiwaiently
arranged catalogues that has ever
come to our desk. There are blit
few changes iu the faculty of last
year, besides the additiou of one
teacher, Miss MaryT. Richards,
iu the preparatory department, the
only changes of importance are in
the science aud mathematics aud
the English departments. Mr.
Rhea Miller, who had charge of
this branch during the last year
has retired from school life, and
the classes which he hpd charge
of will be under the management
of Miss Eugenia Alexander. For
Science and mathematics, the
management of the institution
have secured the services of Miss
Kate O’Neill, who has been with
the Labauon University for the
past number of years, and who is
considered one of the foremost
women educators of the South.
Copies of the catologue may be
procurred at either Snoddy’s of
Kindel’s drug stores, or by ad-
dressing the president, Miss E. E.
McClure.
The O. R. C. Picnic.
The excursion train run from
Dallas and Fort Worth to Mineral
Wells on account of the third an-
nual 0. R. C. picnic at that city
today passed through here this
moruiug at 6:30 with nine cars
loaded to the guards. During the
day the Mineral Wells road has
been running specials to the
Wells, the last train of which
leaves here at 7:30 this evening.
They have enjoyed a good traf-
fic, carrying a number of Weath-
erfordites up.
Why pay two or three profits on
a rubber tired rig when you can
get a better rig at cost from J. R.
Lewis. There are none better than
the Milburn or Enterprise.

tic census for this year. The grand
