Train of Refugees
(By Associated P»-ess )
Eagle Pass, Texas, May 3.—A spec-
ial train from Monclova, Coahula, ar-
rived in Piedras Negras early this
morning with one hundred and fifty
families aboard. These refugees re-
port that-'Cuarto Cienegas has been

In this connection, we wish to call
the attention of business men and
others, to the fact that the officers of
the Y. M. G. A. are in touch with men

EIGHT ARE

Evidence was given that Sidna Allen,
a brother, and Victor, a son, were
preparing to carry the plot into ef-
fect on the day before when the re-
port of the jury disagreement pre-
vented the shooting. Cyrus Rhibbs,
a civil engineer, testified that on
that day, when the jury was filing into

walk to the rear of the bar and reach
for their revolvers. When the fore-
man reported that the jury had failed

The School Board
Served Fine Supper
Last evening at the hour of 6 the
Palestine school board, with three
others as their guests, enjoyed a
splendid meal served by the classes
in the department of domestic econo-
my at the Lincoln school. And the
supper was a complete one, beginning
with soup, followed by a variety of
well-cooked and well-seasoned dishes
that were a delight to the guests,
and ended with cream and cake, as
delicious as was ever served. This
meal was prepared and cooked by the
pupils in this department, and both
boys and girls, with faces bright, and
dressed faultlessly, served it in pleas-
ing and expert manner.
The building equipped for this
work is a four-room affair, just across
the street from the main building,
and is equipped with sewing ma-
chines, and other paraphernalia^ a
good range, and complete kitchen
equipment. The work was inaugu-
rated at the present session through

ROODS of more than usual height have devastated the Mississippi and
Ohio valleys this spring. Cairo, 111., was for several days isolated, all
rail communication with the outside world being interrupted. Most of
the women and children were sent away from the city before tbe high
est stage of the waters was reached. Hickman, I\y„ and Memphis, Tenn., also
suffered severely. Many people were drowned, and the total money loss is es
tirnated at more than $10.o00,000. Congress appropriated $3.'in.000 for the re
pair'of the levees, and rations and supplies for the stricken districts w ere dis-
tributed by the National Red Cross society and the war department. The
plight of tbe Ancient Mariner—“\\ ater, water everyw here, nor any drop to
drink was recalled by tbe situation In many localities, the usual sources of
supply baying been contaminated by sewage, so that it was necessary to bring
water from a distance or. as a last resort, to strain and boil that of the river.
Tbe upper of the two pictures shows one of the flooded streets of Memphis,

Alpine. Texas, May 3.—The latest
information given out at the Means
gold and silver mine near here is
that the mine will prove °one of the
richest in the world. A great ^ltany
people are of the opinion that the
latest news given out is too good to
be true, happening in Texas. If it
were Arizona, New Mexico, or just
somewhere else, the people would be
almost wild w;ith excitement. But,
while the interest is deep and prac-
tical, there is not yet the least bit pf
excitement.
The'authoritative assay of the ore
taken out shows 1101 ounces of sil-
ver and 3.52 ounces of gold per ton. 1
As silver is worth 60 cents per ounce
and gold $22, a very simple calcula-
tion will demonstrate that the yield
of pay metal^rom one ton 'of ore
would be nearly $740. These are tbe
incontestable facts of the situation.
One of the chief instructors in this
department is Julia Dudley, a most
< competent teacher, who has been with
j the school for nineteen yers, and she
I was: present directing the affair,
i Following the supper Mr. C. A.
I Sterne was asked to act as toast-
master, and all -around the board, in
turn, spoke words of encouragement
; and praise, and thanked the students
for the splendid supper,
j This department was started as an
experiment, and so successful and
popular has it proven that the work
will be extended and broadened as
soon and as much as possible. That
| is the plan of the present board. And
j it Is also desired to inaugurate this
i work with the white schools at an
early date, because the child gains
! much in the way* of efficient training
in the branches thus taught.
Those who sat at the table last
evening were: President W. M. Ham-
ilton of the board,. Secretary C. A.
Sterne, Leo Davjdson, V. D. Wilson,
C. F. McWhorter, Wm. Dellis, mem-
bers of the board; and Messrs. Tuck-
er Royall, M. A. Pinette. and Superin-
tendent King of the schools.
