The New York World doesn't

ceiver. 1t says:
ga party which cast nearly
four and a half Amilllon votes
last November, ar about three
quarters OF a milliommore than
any other party brought into the
field at a previous election
which was entitled to 1916 of the
500 electoral votes, which con-
trolls one branch of the National
Legislature, and will in few
months obtain control over the
other, and which governs twen-
ty-three of thirty-eight States OF
the Union, can hardly be con-
sidered ripe for the Receiver"

LITERARY CIun-Tha renni

| LITERARY CLUB.-The reumi-
on of this refined and intel
lectual association, last Tues
day night. at their rooms at
the Central House, was one of
unmixed pleasure. The music
was even better than usual.
To individualize, would be to
subject ourselves to the charge
of righteousness, a distinction
we are not particularly ambi-
tious of earning or deserving.
But we cannot forbear saying
that several of the ladies who
sang. possess voices clear as
bell, and soft as the round notes
of a flute. 1t would be no
misnomer to designate some Of
them as 'queens of song" a
superlative distinction to which
they have an uadoubted right.
A Tn,EF NAnEp.-The fine
silver watch found on the per-
son Of the thief. Ed. Everett,
when arrested, was stolen from
John Wamock, the fireman who
runs with Tom Hicks, Engin-
eer on the Central Railroad be-
tween Hearne and Houston. 1t
was stolen on the 10th OF April
last. The whereabouts of an
other fine watch is also known
to the police. A fine six shoot
er stolen from livery stable at
Austin last week will doubtless
be claimed by its owner to-day.
Everett is a professional thief,
and a portion OF the stolen
money taken from the saloon
burglarized on the I'd inst. in
this city, was found on his per- |
son when arrested. His partner |
now in the calaboose, says Ever |
EFT proposed a plan to break
into the saloon a day or two
previously, but he would not
listen to it. He declares his
innocence but is certain that
Everett planned the mischief.
He has turned States evidence
against Everets and conviction
tor felony will soon follow. The
city police are entitled to much
credit for arresting the danger
Gus sneak thief Everett. Bren-
ham is truly an unhealthy place
for thieves.

FROM letter addressed to G.
c. Garrett Esq, by o. II. Hol-
lingsworth, Secretary OF Board
OF Education, we learn that the
amount of one thousand two
hundred dollars has been award
ed to the public tree schools OF
the city of Brenham, by DR.. B.
Sears, Gen'l Agent of the Pea
body Fund. This will afford
valuable assistance to a good
cause, and we trust will be APP
preciated by the beuefciaries.
KEEP CooL.-This is good ad-
vice, and should not be neglect
ed by anyone. Now the way
to do this, is to step into the
neat and capacious ice cream
saloon of Mrs. Uartwell & Cav
in, under the McItyre Hotel.
This is one of the most comfort.
able establishments of the kind
in the State. 1t is place where
ladies and gentlemen much do
congregate. We called few
evenings ago, and found a grand
concourse of ladies and gentle
men present.
FIRE ALARM.-The fire bell
sounded the alarm about eight
o'clock Wednesday night. 1t
proved to be in d stable near the
Mcintyre Hotel, and was easily
extinguished. How it original
ed was what we could not learn
but is believed to be the work
OF al incendiary.
Another fire alarm was rung
at II o'clock NJ. yesterday.
Supposed to be in the second
story OF the building occupied
by Wood & Co., as drug store.
The firemer and citizens turn
ed out promptly and great ex-
element for awhile was visible
as fire could not be discovered, |
but the house was filled with |
smoke The floor of one of the |
rooms in the second story was
cut up, and several matches
which had been lighted, and a
few not used were found near a
mouse nest. No fire was seen |
at all. The smoke ceased and |
and the matter is mystery to
our brave fremen and citizens.
Did the matches found near
the nest of the mouse set the
fire.a This is the mystery. Great
credit is due the firemen, and dep
uty sheriffs M. Il. Williams and
Tom Day, for their gallant con-
duct.

TIE rain fall has recently
been greater than farmers de-

was a heavy rain accompanied
by considerable wind. Yester-

cool for theseason.
YESTERDAY was a lively day

VAeRANTs.-Very few of thest
nuisances now curse the city b,
their presence, and the conse-
quence is, there is very little
law breaking going on.
LEG BAIL.-A young negro
rooster named Henry Irwin,
who was awaiting his trial in
the Mayors court on a charge
of vagrancy, quietly slipped out
of the room while the city Mar
shal and officer Doran had their
hacks turned. He gave the best
OF security truly.
Hon. Bailey Peyton, long a
member of congress from Ten-
pessee, is in the city and the
guest of DR.. Bostick. Bailey
Peyton was member of con-
gress in 1924, and is perhaps
the oldest ex- Seressman now
living. lie is& relative of
Judge Catlin of Austin county.
We hope Mr.. Peyton's stay in
our midst may be pleasant.
ARREsTED.-A colored man
named Wayne Robson charg-
ed with having shot another
colored man near the town of
Washington in this county, last
August, was recently arrested
at Arcola in Fort Bend county.
by q. X. Cessna, a Justice of
the Peace, and by him turned
over TO our sheriff night before
last. Mr.. Robson is not now
an active member of society.
He now masticates in the Coun-
ty Hotel the end of such pleas
ant fancies as he can conjure
up. Mr.. Cessna deserves credit
Tor his arrest and return.
BuRaLARY.-The saloon of
Pete Rasmussen near the r. r.
depot, was entered on Wednes-
day night by the thieves break
ing shutter and then open
ing the window. The money
drawer containing about SO was
opened by cutting out a hole in
the bottom. Two white men
were arrested on suspicion day. |
before yesterday, but the cir
cumstantial evidence showed |
that only one of them could have
had hand in it. He was
charged with vagrancy and be-
ing suspicious and dangerous
character, and not giving a good
account of himself was fined
and sent back to the calaboosa.
ROAD LAw.-Depnty Sheriff
Baber was out yesterday serv- /
ing warrants on persons residing

HAu. STORM. DIR. Lyd. Smith
informs us that a heavy hail
storm visited the neighborhood
of Washington, in this colnty,
on Thursday night, doing great
damage to crops. The belt ira
versed by the storm was narrow,

Corn and cotton was complete

SNEAK THIEvEs.-Some thief
entered the office OF the Col
lector of Taxes and County
Judge Williams, one day last
week and stole each of their
tiue gold pens, which were on
their desks. Look out for sneak
thieves.
The Sunday school children
of the Presbyterian church OF
this city, will be given picnic
next Saturday. The pnblic are
cordially invited to attend.
We hope the day may be propi-
tious, and that the little inno-
cents may have nice time.
FIaHr.-Two negro amazons
had a grand set to at Chixnay-
dre's house near the market, at
midnight Saturday. The police
could not fiad the one who OPEN
ed the battle, she is lodging.
This locality has become a nui-
sance and the authorities should
break it up
LUCKY EscApE.-Sunday even
ing Mr.. David Bloombargh was
taking buggy ride. accompa-
MED by Miss Tooley Rigley,
when the horse became fright
ened at some object. and start
ed on a rum Fortunately the
coupling pin broke. and the
horse continued his run with
only the fore wheels of the bug
gy. The sudden halt threw the
inmates of the buggy to the
ground, and although Miss Rig
ley was slightly injured by the
fall, she may be congratulated
that she escaped as we'll as she
did, for the danger certainly was
imminent.
THIEVES ARRESTED city
police arrested two white men
a few days ago as Migrants and
suspicious characters, and since
their conimittal to the calaboose, |
evidence has been found where |
one of them will he shown to |
have been a professional thief, |
some sixty dollars worth of sto- |
len property having been found |
on his person.
Officer Doran requests rs not |
to publish any farther particu- |
lars at present, until the own
ers of the property identify it,
and he has hopes of learning
other important information,
which Will be OF great interest
to the public at the proper
time.
LAST Sunday morning we at
tended Presbyterian preaching

ra House, where this church, at
present, holds its sessions. His
theme was the love of the Sa-
vior for mankind, and the SUBJ
Iect was beautifully handled by
The young preacher.
In the afternoon, the rite of
baptism was administered to
half a dozen or more children,
oy the same gentleman. Before
administering this ordinance,
he very appropriate remarks
made might have been heard

The senior OF the BANNEI
has gone to the Island city, where
he will enjoy the refreshing
breezes of the quit for a day oil
two. His brethren OF the press,
we hope, will see that he does
not suffer tor-cold water and
other refreshments.
ABOUT ten o'clock last Sum
day morning, a hail storm oil
some severity passed over the
neighbcrhood of Wesly, Travis
and Buckhorn in Austin county
seriously damaging crops. The
belt was narrow, or the damage
would have been serious. As it
was, several fields of cora will
have to be planted over.
DOES advertising payl If
you want to sell, we should say
it does. We advertised a small
plantation and stock for rent, q
few days ago, instructing appli-
cants to "call at this office" In
less than two days after it ap-
peared, we received dozen
calls. Now here is a demon
stration that advertising is the
way to do business.
SroRN.-Last Sun lay night
a storm passed over Chappell
Hill. 1t blew down fences and
unroofed a few houses. One
house, tenanted by an old gen
tleman and his wife, was blown
down, and the inmates were
caught in the debris, and vet,
almost marvellous to tell, Meth
er of them was seriously injur-
ed, though we believe each re-
ceived some slight bruises.
Nor GuILrY.-Jim Napoleon,
a well known freedman of this
county, was tried on Monday
last before the county court on
charge OF resisting an officer
while in the discharge of his
duty. He plead his own case
before the jury, and this TACT
alone saved him from a heavy
fine as his plea made marked
effect upon the jury and they
acquitted him. Counsellor NJ.
I. Kurtz of the BRENNAN bar
assisted in the defence.
TIE q. F. T. Council IN this
'ity appears to be in a flourish |
ng condition. At the meeting |
asst Monday night there were
our limitations, and at the meet !

'ers, like all people are when
n earnest, are rather retieent,
md carefully avoid blatant ha-
argues about local option.
5ut they have quietly accom-
'lished much good, and are DIES
ined to accomplish much more.
