As everyone expected, Admiral
Schley is coming ont all right,
notwithstanding all the vile insin-
uations of his enemies. Admiral
Dewey put a quietus on such rub-
bish as evidence, when he and
his court court decided that facts
only would constitute evidence.
Houston manufacturers are rap-
idly adopting the product of the
Beaumont oil fields as fuel for
their establishments. It is stated
that so rapidly are applications
for permits. coming into the city

that all extensive plants in the
future will be supplied with oil for
fuel and all other methods of pro-

The Manufacturers’ Record in a
plea for the towns and communi-
ties of the South to take hold of
the great matter of road-improve-
ment, says: “ One of the South’s
greatest needs is good roads.
Without them, as in other parts
of the country, the expenses of
farming are made greater, the
lighter loads on bad roads in-
creasing the number of trips to
the depot or the town, and conse-
quently causing a loss of time and
a waste of money, and in some
sections the transportation of
products to market is practically
impossible at certain seasons. On
the other hand, whenever there
has been a successful movement
of highways, the results have
been most satisfactory, and the
investments in the form of labor
or taxation have been more than
repaid. Road improvement in-
creases the value of farm lands,
first, by making them more con-
venient to market, and second, by
increasing the facilities for com-
munication, and thereby overcom-
ing the drawbacks of isolation,
which are responsible in no small
degree for the movement in re-
cent years of a large population
from the country to the cities.”

We haven’t hurried the Fall Exhibits, because we’ve all been employed in bringing
together the greatest collection of new merchandise ever collected under one roof in Jacks-
boro. We wanted to show you what an almost unlimited purchasing power could accom-
plish, and we think you will say we have done ourselves honor as to assortment, and infinite
credit as to low prices.
If you would like to see the dress goods upon which fashion has set the seal of her
approval, come here. It will be a pleasure to show you whether you buy or not.

The Industrial Commission has
issued a general summary of the
movements undertaken by labor
unions, employers’ associations
and governmental agencies to ad-
just labor disputes by arbitration.
A brief of the laws and court de-
cisions affecting labor unions is
snbjoined to the report on arbi-
tration, and, with the essays on
labor' organizations and strike
mediation, constitutes a fall brief
of the volume of the commission’s
report on the general subject of‘
labor organizations. It is held by
Messrs. Charles E. Edgerton and
E. Dana Durand, authors of this
paper, as well as the preceding
review of labor organizations, that
the great majority of labor dis-
putes are settled without either
appeal to formal arbitration or the
war methods of strikes and lock-
outs ; that the practice of concil-
iating and arbitrating differences
between employes and employers
has been widely extended recent-
ly among several very important
trades.

Texas Cattle on Top.
The Chicago Drovers’ Journal
in its issue of Oct. 16 says : The
feature of today’s cattle market
was the sale of twenty Texas bred
dehorned Hereford steers. They
averaged 1407 pounds and sold
for $6 90 per hundred. This is
the top price for this year, and
barring October, 1899, the highest
October price paid for cattle since
1884. These cattle were bought
in Texas when calves and fed by
Sam Weaver of Forsythe, III. A
large crowd of interested specta-
tors viewed them in the pen.
Thus Texas bred cattle score an-
other victery, and Mr. Weaver
establishes a reputation and skill
as a feeder.
Duluth, Minn., October 16 —
Eight hundred men of all shades
of political opiuiou attended a
farewell banquet tendered by
Duluth citizens to Charles A,
Towne at the armory tonight,
while fully 500 ladies were pres-
ent in the galleries to hear the
speeches by W. J. Bryan, Mr.
Towne aud others.
The affair was non-partisan and
carried out t-he intention of the
promoters to make it a testimo-
nial to Mr. Towne’s personal pop-
ularity among his friends and
neighbors.
Mr. Bryan’s subject was “ Moral
Courage,” aud he took occasion
to shower encomiums on the
guest of the evening for his ac-
tion in 1896, at the time he gave
his farewell to the republican
party to follow silver. He said.
“ Some may be disposed to
stamp the word ‘ failure’ upon
the political career of our distin-
guished guest, but he has set an
example that must weigh heavily
on the side of civic virtue. He
has faced without flinching a fire
as hot and hellish as ever came
from cannon’s mouth, and he has
won a victory greater and
glorious than ever crowned the
life of one who fawned at the feet
of power or bartered away his
manhood to secure an office.
Mr. Bryau did not inject poli-
tics into his speech, which was
brief and directed largely to Mr.
Towne. H« said, however, that
“ great issues are at stake: great
interests are involved, aye, even
our civilization itself, and through
us, the civilization of the world.
This nation is a world power; it
has not acquired its influence by
war, but for a century its ideas
have been permeating the world,
and every citizen owes it to his
country, as well as to his genera-
tion and posterity, to throw the
weight of his influence on the
right, side of every public ques-
tion.”

Kidney Trouble Makes You Miserable.
Almost everybody who reads the news-
papers is sure to know of the wonderful
cures made by Dr.
11 Kilmer’s Swamp-Root,
j the great kidney, liver
[L and bladder remedy.
It is the great medi-
‘ cal triumph of the nine-
ill teenth century;" dis-
111II l covered after years of
«_„ scientific research by
t>r. Kilmer, the emf-
1 * cent kidney and biad
der specialist, and is
wonderfully successful in promptly curing
lame back, kidney, bladder, uric acid trou-
bles and Bright’s Disease, v/hich is the worst
form of kidney trouble.
Dr Kilmer s Swamp-Root is not rec-
ommended for everything but if you havekid-
ney, liver or bladder trouble it will be founu
lust the remedy you need. It has been tested
in so many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to pur-
chase relief and has proved so. successful in
every case that a special arrangement has
been made by which all readers of this paper
who have not already tried it, may have a
sample bottle sent free by mail, also a book
felling more about Swamp-Root and how to
find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.

offer in this paper and

Education In Agriculture.
The very essence of the world’s
wealth is found in agriculture. No
matter how capitalists may amass
large fortunes; manufacturing in-
stitutions create conditions which
involv e great movements of mon-
ey, or business concerns make it
possible for the aggregation of
millions, the primary source of it
all i« found in the interminable
plow rows which check and re-
check, the black, red, and yellow
loams of fertile areas every where.
Agriculture is the base of all
human existence. It is a noble oc
cupation and the importance of
intelligent intenti on has been rec-
ognized by the thinking people
of all classes. All other thiDgs are
taught, and yet agriculture except
in its higher branch es, js science
“too simple for c onsideration.”
The application ofsci entitle meth-
ods in the past few years, how-
ever, has worked material changes
and elevated the standard of its la-
bor. Chemistry, analysis, and ex
periment has guided effort and
taught how to grow two stalks
where once but one upreared its
crest. Too mnch importance can
not be given to this feature. The
y.outh are too prone to abuse the-
farm in favor of other and m
“elevating occupations,” and the
curriculum of every country - or
cross-roads school should include
Mt least a single study devoted to
the farm and farm products. The
occupation should be garnered
with every element of nobility
and the cultivation of the earth’s
Offices and Morals.
Fort Worth Register.
One of the many stories, true
and untrue, going around about
the president, adds to his right
to the respect of the people. If is
that he had determined to appoint
the man to an important office in
South Carolina whom President
McKinley h ad singled out for the
position. Before making the ap-
pointment, however, the knowl-
edge came to him that the man in
question was given to over-indul
gence in the flowing bowl—“he
was inclined toward conviviality”
is the guarded way it is put. Then
the president explained to
friends of the applicant who called
in his behalf: “I am going to select
the best men for public positions.
Men appointed to high public
placfs mast be high in morals and
in many other respects. If the
American people care to show
their approval of my course as
president during the three years
and a half I have to serve by plac-
ing me at the head of the Repub-
lican ticket of 1904,1 should feel
deeply grateful. It would be an
more h°nor R would be difficult for any
man to decline. But if I have to
pander to aDy cliques, combina-
tions or movements for their ap-
proval, I would not give a rap oi‘
my finger for it, or for a nomina-
tion under such circumstances. My
indorsement comes from the peo-
ple of the country.
This is refreshing and whole-
some. It has often been contend-
ed that the fitness of a man for
holding office had nothing to do
with his morals. Efficiency and
honesty in office are all that should
be sought in that view. Outside
of his office, the man may be vile
an drotton, but that is nothing to
the public.
Well for the nation, its moral
sense is higher. Men who require
that their friends and associates
shall be respectable will not be
satisfied to have the representa-
tives of the nation in official life
ower than the national life itself.
Efficiency and honesty mast be
supplemented with"deceney. Giv-
ing office to proflgafes encoura-
ges young men to liv e loosely, in
the belief that vicious habits are
no bar to success in life. If presi-
dent Roosevelt shall make it a
rule that his appointments ma3t
be men of clean private lives, he
will confirm-the good opinion the
country has of him.
