Speaking of Mack Stauffer,
Brook Mays of Brook Mays &
Co., Dallas, says: “Mack Stauf-
fer is one of the greatest experts
in the piano business.”
Aside from the Obenchain
method, the endorsement of Paul
G. Mehlin of Paul G. Mehlin &
Sons, of New York City, and
former president of the Piano
Manufacturers Association, who
was much interested in knowing
such talent existed in the distant
state of Texas, and other talents
which have gained world-wide
recognition. Mr. Stauffer is
using his new discovery in piano
voicing, which leaves the treble
as clear as a bell, the bass and
middle register deep and har-
monious.

short stay moved away, living
for a time in Oklahoma and
Washington, and returning to

on account of failing health he
retired from active practice more
than thirty years ago. When a
young man he was converted
and 43 years ago he joined the
Baptist church, to which he was
devoted and faithful.

Freed of Murder Charge.
O. T. Apple, of Bantam, was
freed on a murder charge in the
district court last Friday. A few
months ago Mr. Apple had a per-
sonal difficulty with another
man near Bantam and the other
man sustained injuries which re-
sulted in death. According to
witnesses Mr. Apple was not tne
aggressor in the fight, but
fought only in self-defense. The
state reduced the charge to man-
slaughter, and then Mr. Apple
plead guilty. He was given a
two-year sentence to the peni-
tentiary, with a suspended sen-
tence, which set him free.
Jesse James’ Last Visit
to Texas.
“While my father was build-
ing the opera house at Denison
for J. B. McDougal, he made me
sleep on the stage to watch the
property. Late one night Mr.
McDougal brought two men into
the theater and told me to let
them sleep on the stage. At 4
o’clock in the morning Mr. Mc-
Dougal came back, shook me
out of my sleep and told me to
drive the two men in his hack to
Colbert’s ferry, on Red river,
four miles north of town. One
of the men sat with me and the
other occupied the back seat.
When we reached the ferry, the
man who sat with me said:
Young man, do you know who
I am?’ I said ‘No, sir.’ Then he
put a stick of dynamite under
me by saying: T am Jesse
James,’ and immediately added:
‘This is my brother, Frank.’ He
then handed me a brass cavalry
spur, saying: ‘You have won
your spur tonight.’ In 1885
when Frank James came to Dal-
las to live he became my neigh-
bor on Race street. I called on
Tim at his home one night, and,
showing him the spur, which I
had kept and still keep, asked
j him if he remembered it. ‘Per-
fectly,’ he said, and added with
emotion, ‘that was the last time
my brother was ever in Texas.’ ”

Missouri Rice King Now Clerk
in the Penitentiary.
Jefferson City, Mo., March 12.
Three" years ago George Beg-
Jr., was “rice king” of
Southwest Missouri—today he
is commissary clerk in the Mis-
souri penitentiary. From one
of the wealthiest and most re-
spected men in the Southwest
section of the state he fell to
the position of a prisoner in the
state penitentiary.
He has none of his worldly
goods—not even his wife, for a
year ago she divorced him on
the grounds that he was a con-
victed criminal; but he has held
that which made him one of the
outstanding men of his portion
of the state: his initiative and
self respect.
Several years ago Begley con-
ceived the idea of growing rice
on the waste lands of Southeast
Missouri. People called him
“crazy.” But he persisted and
at the age of 28, on approxi-
mately 1500 acres in rice and a
34 acre stock farm, his wealth
was rated well into the hundreds
of thousands. He continued to
expand his holdings and im-
prove them.
A bad year came and he lost
money and finally in desperation
he borrowed a large amount of
money from a St. Louis bank on
his personal note to which it was
alleged he forged the indorse-
ment Of his brotherinlaw and
father. When it came due he
was unable to pay and he was
sent up for 10 years charged
with forgery. His property was
all taken for his debts.
But Begley may have another
chance, prison officials said to-
day. His application for parole
was
before the state board of orders
and parole. Hundreds of peti-

Young Woman Swallowed Snake.
Reports say that a young
woman from Denton is in a Dal-
las hospital to undergo treat-
ment for a snake in her stomach.
As the story goes, she swal-
lowed the egg of a water snake
last summer while she was in
swimming and the X-ray shows
a. full grown snake in her diges-
tive apparatus. Doctors are
wondering how they can kill the
snake without killing the girl or
how they can extract it without
angering it and causing it to
bite the girl to death.
The first thought with all of
us is to say the doctors and the
young woman are mistaken—
that there is no snake in the
woman’s stomach, but on ac-
count of a former experience we
shall not doubt. A few years
ago a similar story came from a
West Texas town, and the Signal
expressed doubts. Then a well-
known preacher came forward
and corroborated the story. He
saw the man in whose stomach
the snake was lodged, saw the
snake pulled out of the man’s
stomach and saw both man and

with regret that our people saw
him make a change.

practices act. Supreme Court
Justice Ellis J. Staley, of Albany,

Denison Woman Dies at
Age of 100.
Denison, March 12. — Mrs.
Levina Wood, 100, died at the
home of her son, A. P. Wood,
here at an early hour Sunday.

dredth birthday last November.
All her life she has enjoyed ex-
cellent health. Her husband
died here seven years ago at the
age of 94.
Justice Staley ruled a political
committee means any committee
of combination of three or more
persons, co-operating to aid or
promote the success or defeat of
a political party or principle, or
of any proposition submitted to
vote at a public election, or to
aid or take part in the election
or defeat of a candidate for pub-
lic office, or to aid or take part
in the election or defeat of a
candidate for nomination at a
primary election or convention.
