mest successful sosston ot the State Teach-
ers nsvoclatlon the following declaration of
principles nnd purposes wore offered by tho
special committee and adopted otter a
short discussion
We the members of the Texas Teich
eru association Invito tho careful atteu
tltm of tho Intelligent citizenship ot this
State to the following declaration of prin-
ciples adopted at the twentyfourth annual
meeting held in Austin lu December lb02
1 A general diffusion ot knowledgo be-
ing ecrentlal to tho preservation of tho lib-
erties aud rights of tho people It shal
bo the duty of the legislature of tho Stnt
to establish nnd make suitable provision
for the support and maintenance of an ef-
ficient hstin of public free schools Con
btlttitlon nit 7 section 1
2 In older that nu efrlclent system of
public education be maintained It Is ovi
dint that ndiquito funds mut be provided
We theiefore urge that tne State school
tax be mlpcd to the constitutional Urn t
20 cents on the 100 of pioperty valuation
and because of the fact that the Stittf
school tuuds now are nnd will ever be
liiKiililclcut we further urge thit lucal
taxation for public school purposes bo
adopted as the llxed policy of every school
district lu Texas
3 In the common school in which the
entlio rural population must hccure Its
bcholiifctlc training the State Is to 3id
surer defense than In legislative enact
jueiits decrees of courts or armed but
tullons A complcto aud sufficient system
of education however Is Impossible how-
ever unless thetc be adequate provision for
the support also of secondary schools and
higher luhttutlans of learning
1 We stand for the doctrine that the
efficiency of n bj stent of schools Is de-
pendent upon tho professional qualifica-
tions of Its teachers and we rejoice tuar
the State In her university and her normil
schools Is Incieaslug aud strengthening the
means for tho picparatlon of professional
teachers

HOW TO DRINK MILK
Why It Disagrees With Soma People
When ouo needs a reviving stimulant
after exhaustion nothing can rival the ef-
fects of hot milk sipped slowly
I Some people say they can not digest
milk and these arc the peoplo who drink it
down qnlckiy so that the digestive acids
In playing around it form largo curds
whleih glvo trouble before they can be ab-
sorbed
The right way Is to sip the milk In small
amounts so that each mouthful as It de-
scends Into the stomach is surrounded by
the enslric fluid and when the whole glass
ful Is down the effect is that of a spongy
mas of eurdt In and out of which the
keen gastric Julees course speedily doing
their work of turning the curd Into pep
tones Hint tbo tissues can tako up
To make sure of complete digestion take
one or two of Stuarts Di n i > sla Tablets
afterward as the pepsin and diastase thoy
contain Increase the quantity aud efficiency
of the gastric Juices and supply the natural
digestive ferments which ull weak stomachs
lack
SIlss Anna Folger a professional nurse
speaking of the value of Btunrts Tablets In
convalescence saysi In adult patients le
coverlng from severe illness ani cspilulL
In children where milk disagrees one or
two tablet overcome any difficulty and
seem to strengthen the stomach in a re-
markably short time I myself hove used
them dally for years When my own diges-
tion has suffered from the Irregularities
and loss ot sleep consequent upon my oc
occupation
Not only children and Invalids but pro-
fessional people and others whbse meals
are necessarily hurried or Irregular will
nnd Stuarts Dyspeptla Tablets of the
greatest value in keeping up the tone nnd
digestive vigor of the stomach
They contain the active digestive fer-
ments the lack of whkft is really the only
cause of Indigestion and stomach troubles
and the regular dally use of them after
meats will probably cure any cato of
stomach troublo except such as arises from
cancer or ulceration

In n t cent Irttrvlev In tho Oil City De >
rick Mr J S CiiUinai tbo well known
ell man who was for ruck n long time
with the Standard Oil Company watt re-
ported us having snld that there were In
dlorago on December I 1C02 in Jeffcisoii
county rjOOOOOOO bnrrols of oil Thu
most of the oil peoplo here think this must
havo been a misprint though Mr Cullln in
himself has not been teta recently This
nmount appears consldcril ly too large nud
the most of the oil people think thnt 15
000000 barrels will cover It easily though
under present conditions nrd the report of
shluments as tnlen nbove fiom the Kuter
prlse would lead one to relievo that th >
nmount could cosily vary me way o the
other by millions Sir Ciilllnnn undoubted
lv knows Just how much oil there Is hcie
lull it Is a question whotber he wns quoted
correctly In addition to the reports > f-
oil In btorage there Is also to be considered
tbo amount wasted by the Lucas gusher
nml also by tho gnslier exhibitions that
were onro so frequent Tbo figure Is
placed at 1500000 barrels This would
giro n total production for Spindle Top
since Its discovery January 10 1001 of
28000noo barrels though 30000000 Is
probably the figuro in round numbers The
tictunl production of oil In 1002 will vnsM >
exceed the production ot 1001 notwith-
standing thnt It wns In the latter voir
that the gushers practically disappeared
and are not now the rule hut the excep-
tion

In the city today were assembled Messrs
n J Marshall W T Campbell Bod OIIk
Judgo Mastcrson and others well known In

problematical

There Is nothing new In the price situa-
tion Oil is today selling In large lots that
Is 100000 barrels or over nt Ml cents the
price by tbo wny thnt wns guessed ot or
prophesied on December 1 or thereabouts
One broker made tho claim that he eonld
buy oil at 43 cents In tanks but tho fellow
who Is selling nt that rate Is In his own
light nccordlng to the Ideas of the other
oil people The Illgglns Oil nnd Fuel com-
pany Is nutborlty for the statement that
thev ntn tilling contracts nt 45 cents while
they are getting 55 cents for oil f p b the
cars Certain it Is Unit the Benumnnt field
Is the strangest ot any anywhere There
Is no certain wny to get nt prices like there
Is lu other oil tlelds But then this merely
goes to show that the Standard while pos
slhlr holding large Interests Is not neces-
sarily lu full control

citing experiences during the past month
Ilia wns the first ship to bo stopprl by tho
blockade at Ln Guayra Ilo wns not
stopped until ho had really gotten lnstdo
of tho bnrbor and anchored Not knowing
nnythlugr about tho conditions he was at
a loss to understand why a big search light
should piny on his vessel from the time ho
came within range of tho harbor until bo
anchored It was quickly explained to
him afterward though os bis ship was
boarded by men from a British manofwar
who advtsrd lilui to get out as soon as he
could telling him that they would not be
responsible for the ship Its cargo or crow
It he remained Na further persuasion was
iiecentanry as he could see thnt La Guayra
wns full of black men as the native Vene-
zuelans were called Ho soys thero seemed
to bo fully fiOOO ot them and that they
were armed with long knives or machete
some of them also carrying rifles Captsvi
Dickinson left lis soou as powlble nud went
to imii no wiili b is a Dutch possession n
little oer 100 miles distant HU cargo
whm unloaded there but his experiences
were not
At Trinidad he witnessed tho capture of
the Venezuelan gunboat Bolivar His ship
wus within a stones tbiow of the boat and
he wltucMsed the whole proceedings which
however wero without any bloodshed The
ltrlllnh ship simply sent word to tbo com-
mander of the Bolivar to have his men on
deck ns bo Intended to take charge of the
boat The commander consented and tho
men wero accordingly n 8embled on deck
uulll sent ashore The Bolivar wns then
towed out to sen and Captain Dickinson
saw it no more
During the day eight warships arrived in

Italian nnd ouo American As each would
arrive sa luttw were fired nud the natives
heating the flrlug of bo many cannon wero
wondering whnt wns going to happen next
And wero greatly excited
