so bad as reported but even a tenn
porary suspension of Mr.. Hubbell's
immense business is to be deplored.
In speaking of the affair, the Com
mercial uses the following highly
complimentary language, which we
think is richly deserved;
"No man in the community has
been better friend of the town, no
man has done more to make Cald-
well success, no mans hand was
more open to the call of genuine
charity. no man showed a greater
interest in or more unselfish desire
to benefit his fellows, than w. n.
Hubbcll. Outside of a few who
profit only by the misfortunes of 9TH
crs, Mr.. Hubbcll has the sympathy
and best wishes of all who know him
in q business or social relation.
That he turned everything over to
his creditors when the first cloud
lowered over him. is the best evi-
dcnce that he is an honest man and
that he will maintain his standing
and continue his business, we are
as firmly convinced us that the sun
rises and sets"

A SCHOOL COMPOSITION.

The following composition was
written by Paul, an Arapahoe boy
eleven years old, as a school room
exercise. 1t was written imprmptu,
and we give it verbatim. The boy
has been in school two years, and
the composition is a fair index of
the progress he is actually making.
The reader should remember that
the Indian knows nothing of the
theory of language, and that he must
learn from the very lowest rudiment.
The difficulties he has to surmount
will be apparent to amy thoughtful
reader:

The rumor has been current here
that W. n. Hubbell, of Caldwell, had
gone into bankruptcy. Itturns out,
however. that he only made an as

1t is said that parties in New York
have applied for patent for a proc
css by which sulphate of quinine, or
what amounts to the same thing, is
made from coal tar. If quinine can
be manufactured from this material,
a large and prosperous business will
be rcvolutionized. In 1879 about
100000 worth Of Peruvian bark,
of which quinine is made, was i'm
ported. Something that is the equiv
alcnt of the bitter drug has long been
sought for to take It's place. There
may be no truth in the statement
alluded to, and it may be considered
impossible to manufacture the article
from coal tar, but it would be moth
ing more improbable than the manu-
facture of analine dyes from the
same material, which is an accomp-
hshcd fact.

Ed. Branch, who formerly lived in

cattle in Reno county, has bought
the old Armstrong ranch, about nine
miles down the river, and will hold
his cattle there in the future. He
says Reno is no such county as
Barbour, in which to winter cattle.
A sheep owner on Bear Creek,
whose name we could not learn, has
lost about ninety SO far this winter.
He says however, that he will not
blame the climate for this, as he
drove the sheep from Colorado late
last year, and they were poor and

Caldwell Post.
Charley Hatfield came in from
his range yesterday. He SAYS he
lost only n few cattle in the storm
of last week.
Mr.. G.. Miller returned from the
Territory Tuesday evening, and re-
ports that the storm was terrible
down there, but the loss of cattle
will not be as heavy as some expect.
Mr.. w. E. Campbell left last Mon
day evening for Kansas City, Chi
cago and Beecher, ILL.,, for the pur-
pose of purchasing more Hereford
cattle, which he will put on his range.
Mr.. A. j. Day, who came in from
his camp on the North Fork of the
Canadian last Tuesday, tells us that
his cattle were in good condition
His losses SO far have been exceed
ingly light While coming up he
saw very few dead ones, and helped
several live ones out of snow drifts.
Our last snow storm was not SO
fatal to cattle as many predicted,
but up to the present time there is
nothing positive that we can base
an estimate of the loss incurred by
the storm, rs there has been very
little riding done on account of the
cold weather. From parties coming
up from Reno and other parts of the
Territory, they report seeing very
few cattle down
Mr.. Dave J. Blair, who left here
about two weeks ago for the cattle
camps in the Territory, in the inte-
rest of f. b. York Il Co., returned
Tuesday. Mr. Blair says the cattle
before the first storm last Thursday
struck, were in splendid condition
and looking fine, and on his way back
he only saw some six or seven dead
ones. And he thinks the loss on ac.
count Of the storm will be light
unless the storm Of Monday night
did damage.

Several thousand head of cattle
drifted from the north during the

roamed the streets of the town. The
poor beasts were looking for feed

The London papers consider the
signs for pcaccablc settlement of
the trouble with the Beers, as un-
favorable
About 100000 bushels of corn
was sold and shipped from East st.
Louis to Baltimore, Saturday. The
price received was 80 cents per bush
el. Sixty thousand bushels of wheat
was shipped by barges to New Orle-
ans, and 25000 bushels of rye was
withdrawn for European shipment.
The French government recently
passed law which virtually prohib-
its the importation of American
pork. When the news reached Wall
Street, the price of pork fell from
$3.50 to $1492k per barrel, and
the market at once became very un-
steady. Thousands of dollars will
be lost and many an adventurous
speculator busted"
a short time ago 4 blackboard
driver on the Nanita Las Vegas mail
line, in attempting to cross the Can
adian found his team sinking in the
quicksand. He unhitched them as
soon as possible but when he reached
the bank one of them was so chilled
that it died III a few minutes. Some
freighters were present and saved
the life of the other by wrapping it
in blankets. The driver lost his
overcoat, blankets and gloves and
left the blackboard in the river. A
horcback rider crossing soon after
ward was obliged to dismount In the
middle of the stream, and it was
with difficulty that he reached the
bank. From all accounts, the river
was never in worse condition for
crossing than ROW. This is thought
to be owing to the late thaw, which
rendered the sand unsettled.
a big scheme is on foot among
Barbour county cattle men-thcy
propose to fence the entire county
with harbed wire into a huge pas
ture. This scheme was suggested
by the great drift this winter and the
further fact that q dead line will
soon have to be established between
Barbour and the herd law counties.
The size of the county is 36X4O miles,
and the Index goes into figures to
show how cheap this immense pas
turc can be enclosed. 1t estimates
the total cost of such fence at 1913
320-less than 80 cents a head for
the cattle in the county. OF course,
this amount would soon bc saved
by the less amount of labor required
to tend the stock There would be
no loss from drifting, which is an
other important item. We do not
know much about the condition of
things in that county, bat it strikes
us that the scheme is a good one.

We were prepared for this news, for 'ne eVi-

that many Of the people of nearly all the

For the six years that he his served the STATE

doing what he could in behalf of the pest
interests of the state from his understanding
of its needs. Sober, industrious, stuuIous
and true TO all behests of the state, ne
has left no stone pnturned where
he thought the material interests OF Texas
could be advanced. VIII an eye 20 the
commercial advancement Of the state he has
striven for the improvement Of Galveston
harbor, and other seacoast points as Well
that we might have the best advantages 70

worked for increased mail facilities In the

which Texas could hops for an advantage
that Senator Maxey has not looked e the
preference of his etste. he may have COM
mltted errors of omission and commissions
and who does not do this, either in the pub
lie service or in private life, but for hdelily
to his state, and support of those measures
calculated to aid her, few senators have been
more true than Senator Maxey. The Elk
wears that he has served the state have been
but rehearsal spell, as it we're, to HIM 10

He was reelected b. a handsome VOTE a
compliment indeed, and coming from the
representatives Of the people in the legisla-
lature assembled, it is Nd earnest Of the SEN
timent Of the people. Hc can go back to
the senate with the assurance that his past
work mas met with hearty approval from
his people, and can therefore continue in
the path Of conduct be has pursued in the
past and marked out for himself in The
