leap Across Street.
Driven by a northeast wind blow-
ing thirty miles an hour, the flames
leaped across Wall street to the Plrst
National bank located in the Masonic
temple. The wind drove the flames
through this entirfe block, every
bnllding save two being one-story
bricks. To the north of the hotel
where the Are originated, two build-
ings were consumed before the vol-
unteer bucket brigade could arrest
the progress of the flames. Fanned
into fury by the gale, no sort of ef-
fort on the part of hundreds of Are
fighters could save any of the build-
ings. and it was only when the
flames failed to find further fuel
were they stopped.
The Masonic Temple, one of the
beat equipped in western Texas, sus-
tained a loss of about $C,000, with
Insurance of $4,500. The Odd Fel-
lows’ loss on building and contents
la about $5,000 with Insurance of
$3,200, including insurance of the
Rebekahs. The total property loss,
which includes fourteen business
houses, will approximate $250,000,

enthusiastic over the McKinney busi-

“The city has grow*n largely since
the coming of the Interurban Rail-

streets are to be improved In the
same way or in other permanent
paving.
“Crops are excellent, all of them.

which the Collin County National
Bank was plaintiff. Counsel for de-
fendant asked each juror whether or
not he did business with the plain-
tiff bank. Some answered In the af-
firmative and some In the negative,
amt when It came to our genial
friend he replied: "None, except
cashing Jury checks.” We are hap-
py to record that his tmthful an-
swer did not disqualify him.

DISTRESS FROM
UPSET STOMACH
Take your sour stomach—or may-
be you call It Indigestion. Dyspepsia,
Gastritis or Catarrh of Stomach; It
doesn’t matter—take your stomach
trouble right with you to your phar-
macist and ask him to open a 50-cent
case of Pape’s Diapepsin and let
you eat one 22-grain Trlangule and
see if within five minutes there Is
left any trace of your stomach mis-
ery.
The correct name for your trou-
ble Is Food Fermentation—food
souring; the Digestive organs be-
come weak, there is lack of gastric
Juice; your food is only half digest-
ed and you become affected with loss
of uppetlte, pressure and fullness af-
ter eating, vomiting, nausea, heart-
burn, griping In bowels, tenderness
In the pit of stomach, bad taste In
mouth, constipation, palu In limbs,
sleeplessness, belching of gas, bil-
iousness, sick headache, nervous-
ness, dizziness and many other simi-
lar symptoms.
If your appetite is fickle, and noth-
ing tempts you or you belch gas or
if you feel bloated after eating, or
your food lies like a lump of lead on
your stomach, you can make up your
mind that at the bottom of all this
there Is but one cause—fermentation
of undigested food.
Prove to yourself, after your next
meal, that your stomach is as good
as any; that there is nothing really
wrong. Stop this fermentation and
begin eating what you want without
fear of discomfprt or misery.
Almost instant relief Is waiting
for you. It is merely a matter of
how soon you take a little Diapep-
sin.

MAILED LETTERS.
OwdihI by Sender Until Delivered to
Addressee.
Many persons are under the Im-
pression that a letter once mailed Is
no longer the property of the Bender,
but belongs to the person to whom
It Is addressed. This is an error.
Under the postal regulations of the
United States and the rulings of the
highest courts In the land, a letter
does not belong to the addressee un-
til It Is delivered to him.
The writer has R right to reclaim
and regain possession of It provided
he can prove to the satisfaction of
the postmaster at the office from
which it was sent that he wns the
writer of It.
Even after the letter has arrived
at the office whbh Is Its destination
and before It has been delivered to
the addressee It rray'be recalled by
the writer hv telegraph through the
mailing office.
The regulations of the postofflee
department req Ire of course, that
utmost care shall he taken by tho
postmaster at the office of mailing to
ascertain that the person who de-
sires to withdraw the letter is really
the one who is entitled to do so, and
the postmaster Is responsible for his
error If he delivers the letter to an
Impostor or to an unauthorized per-
son.
The vital principle in our political
system lies at the bottom of this
matter. In this county the State Is
the servant or agent of the citizen,
not his master. It remains merely
his agent throughout the transmis-
sion of a letter. The State may pre-
scribe regulations under which tls
servants may carry a message for the
citizen, hut It can not shirk Its re-
sponsibility to him.

If an old sore existed simply because the flesh was diseased at that
particular spot, it would be an easy matter to apply some remedy directly
to the pteoe that would kill the germs; or the diseased flesh might bp

that old sores resist every form of local or external treatment* and even
return after being cut away, shows that back of them is ft morbid oauae
which must be removed before a cure can result. Just as long as the
pollution continues in the blood, the ulcer remains an open cesspool for the
