STATE PRESS REVIEW

We don't know how familiar our friend o
the Henrietta Shield may be with the oil,
,emedy for snake bites, nor bow much iaitl
bs ma, have in it or fondness for it, but a
he gives the following remedy vouching 10
bim:elf we republish it from the Shield:
While on our recent trip west we saw tw,
horses bitten by rattle snakes, one on the lel
and the other on the nosiril. Coal oil Wa
applied soon after the animals were bitten
and the cure wHs almost miraculous. Tit
point Of pen Lnife WAS freely used about
The bite, 80 rs to let the oil penetrate th'
flesh and blend with the blood. e.. Miller
the stage driver from Wichita Fails 10 Mo
beetle, was the doctor in the above cases
and no says no has never knowf
The remedy 10 fail. His faith Il
90 strong that he keeps coal OH 81 all tht
Stage stations, and carries pint bottle II
the boot of the stage Ill the time. half
pint OF oil applied with rag, the spplcs-
lion b, ing continued for ssy thirty minues
will do the work. Tits better to have more
oil and apply every hour tor u day. W.
have new, heard OF the use of coal oil on
person, but ii it kills the pc son when
horse is snake biltep, why will 1t not have
the same virtue if applied to NAL? W.
believe it will.
The Pilot Point Post has done Ex-senator
Conkling grea. injustice in the following
which we extract from its columns. NJ
gentleman could have expressed moro con
cern for the condition and fate Of the presl
dent than he has done, or done il in NOR
frank, earnest, manly way. The Post Gays
tlGr mt, Conll g & Co., have 3, last broker
s,euy , an all W a" b they have maintained
win Characteristic dignity until IL was Ger
tsin that the president had passed The crisi
and would recover. They have all writer
or said Just how cory they were for the
nre.idept. how crazy Guiteau was, and how
fDr removed from politics the whole thing
was. 1t is certainly very ronsoliDg to the
fast convsescing president to read about TIT
healthy state Of that big Garfield fund, and
tender words OF praise AMI sympathy tina,
are c,ninuslly gushing from the fountain Of
stslwart wrath.
In the face of 80 much balderdash pub
lished Of late by papers in the state thai
knew nothing of the subjact, the following
from the Waco Examiner relative to TIT
state Agricultural and Mechanical College
is well timed and appropriate. The Ex
aminer says:
We have referred several times within thu
past few months to the Agricultural aht
Mechanical college. simply because we be-
lieve that it embraces within ITS scope o
usefulness much tnat is of practical bene6
to the youth OF Texas who desire to b.
fitted for the duties of life. Heretofore, o.
rather not until within the present year, tht
school has not complied with the conditions
Of its establishment, and has partAker
almost exclusively of the literary
character which is common t
all institutions of higher grade. But re-
Gently has been remodeled according Il
the original plan. Latin, Greek aud tht
modern languages form no part OF the curri.
culum. The course embraces practical and
applied mathematics, the sciences ami the
English language. The theoretical training
Is msde auxiliary 10 the great end to be al.
tanned, and there Is no reason why the schoO
may not now &C csts the youth of Texas Il
shigh standard of excellence as prsciics
workers in agricultural and the ma.hemati.
cal arts. The annual expense Of
pay students is only one hundred and thirty
vides that the college shall instruct and
msintain annually, tree of expense three
i,udeLts for each senatorial district 10 the
state, one to be appointed by the senator and
two by the representatives. This feature j.
provided Tor the sons of the rich or the poor
snds intended to be- conterr. d upon the
mos! worthy applicants without regard to
Other considerations. State students will
therefore enter the s,hool on their ,wt
merits, and will not feel the restraint which
necessarily follows the acceptance OF .
gra'ui'y rendered on the grounds of poverty
Goswsy from home 10 hear the news i.
an old sdsge,and IL is w1ll exempliaed in the
following paragraph from the Waco Tele
phone:
Dallss will issue bonds and build her own
wNer,works, To DO owned and operated by
the city. ln the ssms manner she proposes

NDillss is going to build her own water
works and 10 erect three towers for the
Brush electric light, the people here don't
Know It. Negotiations are pending between
the city and the Dallas water supply com.
pauy for the purchase Of tho water,works fer
cash, and the city council some time ago ap.
pointed a committee to enquire into the pos
sibility Of the electric light, but it made no
report. We think the Ellison light is pre-
