The Frohsinn Ball.

The late storm having COM
pletely demolished the COM
modious hall of the Frohsinn
society of this city, many re-
grets were being expressed that
the destruction of the hall
would place a check, or dam
per, upon the customary series
of amusements, for which they
have acquired quite an enyiable
reputation. This, however, did
not prove true, for hands were
put to work at once, clearing
away the debris, and on Sum
day night a large concourse Of
people assembled at the plat
torm-being the floor of the
fallen building-and a grand
open air dance was eagerly par
ticipated in. Prof. Voss' city
cornet band furnished splendid
music for the occasion. The
evening was cool and pleasant
and every body seemed to be
in the full enjoyment of the
pleasures of the occasion.

OIL Mill,

The season for cotton seed is
nearly over and a few remarks
on the working of the Brennan
Oil Mill may not be amiss. Be
fore the mill was started the
average price of cotton seed in
Brennan was not over s. per
ton. and had the oil mill not
been started here cotton seed
would not have been worth a
cent more than S. per ton. GAL
weston has an oil mill, backed
by abundant capital, and the
company owning it are also in
terested in the Santa Fe rail-
way. The policy ofthe Calves
ton oil mill is to run all the
small oil mills out Of the inter-
ior, and to accomplish this OBJ
iect they will spare no money.
Ifthey succeed in breaking up
in the interior mills they will
virtually have control OF all the
cotton seed in the state and
would then be in a condition to
buy it at their own price, having
no competition. During
the past season the average
price of cotton seed in this
market has been from 81 to So
per ton. Had the Galveston
company had no opposition
they would not have paid a
cent over S.. The high price
paid here has enabled farmers
to haul seed from a distance
that a low price would not have
justified and the result has been
that from 81 to So and in some
instances as much as s. or So
per ton extra, has been paid
and it is estimated that not less |
then $4,000 more has been |
paid our farmers for seed that |
would have been, if we had no |
oil mill of our own. In addi- |
ton to helping the farmers, the
oil mill has been quite an addi-
ton to our town, giving en-
ployment to quite a number Of
men. Tie oil mill is certainly
deserving of the favor of all our
planters and farmers. Brennan
needs more industries like the
oil mill, manufactures do more
o keep up a town than any
hing else and when once estab-
ished they should be literally
sustained.

Sad and Fatal Accident.

Sunday afternoon Aaron
Meyer, boy nearly Is years
old, left home alive and well,
full Of hope and promise and the
pride Of fond and devoted pa
rents. By seven o'clock he was
at home a corpse. Three young
men, Sam Strauss, James Simon
Mr.. Foltz and E. Waller, pro-
prietor Of the shooting gallery,
accompanied by Aaron Meyer,
went out to practice target
shooting with a rifle. Mr.. Wal
Ter merely went along with the
party to look after the guns. AT
a point about a mile and quar-
ter east of town on the railroad
they stopped and had been
shooting some time. There
was two teams, Simon and Foltz
and Strauss and Meyer. A
weed on the other side Of the
fence had been the target, they
were shooting at it by turns;
Simon had fired his shot and it
was Strauss turn to shoot; he
had his gun in his hand, his
back having been turned when
Simon shot cutting the weed
down; Meyer was on the ground
getting cartrige out of the box
for his shot, STRAUSS was in the
act of turning with his finger on
the trigger of the gun, which
was cooked, when it was dis
charged the ball taking effect
in Aaron's neck and lodged in
the region of the shoulder. As
soon as the boy was shot he
dropped, but in a few mo-
ments recovered. James Simon
hurried to town; medical aid
was summoned and Mr.. A.
Meyer, his father, accompanied
by DR.. Norris and Mr.. James
Simon hurried to where the
wounded boy lay. The wound
was mortal and in about half an
hour from the time he was shot
he was, a corpse. The re-
mains were brought to town |
and taken home. Justice Hack |
worth summoned the following |
named jury of inquest: J. E.
McAdoo, M. J. Jocob, c. Hoff- |
stadt, w. S. Mcdonald, Alex |
Simon, M. M. Baine, who after |
having made an investigation
a verdict that deceased |
came to his death on the 14th |
day of May from a gunshot
wound accidently inflicted from
the hands of Sam Strauss.
Aaron's funeral took place on
Monday afternoon from the
of his parents, and
was very largely attended. This
IS one OF the saddest affairs we
nave been called on to chronicle
ior many a long day. Mr..
Strauss, who unfortunately fired
he fatal shot, is very much al
ected by the accident, and
would not have had it to &C.
:ur for the world. Mr.. and
Mrs. Meyer have the sympathy
If the entire community in their
;ad affection.

HERMAN WERNER Justice
Hackworth, on Friday morning
had a jury summoned and held
an inquest on the body of Her
man Werner who died about 7
o'clock the previous evening.
1t appeared that before going
down town his wife told him to
buy some ant poison; he bought
a quarters worth of cyanide of
potassium at a drug store and
took it home; he was somewhat
under the influence of liquor;
arriving at home he put the poi
son in a bottle, went to the
kitchen, poured water on it, and
went into another room shaking
the bottle; he had hardly got in
the room when his wife heard
him fall; he had evidently taken
a swallow OF the poison; its eff
feet was almost instantaneous,
as he was dead before asssis-
lance reached him. He was
a dyer by trade and used
poisons constantly in his bust
ness; it is stated that he had
for years been in the habit OF
tasting his dyes when mixed.
There was no evidence adduced
to show that the drug had been
taken with suicidal intent. At
ter carefully investigating all
the circumstantances the jury
returned a verdict that the de-
ceased came to his death from
accidental poisoning. He leaves
a wife and five young children.
About three or four weeks ago
he joined the Texas Benevolent
Association insuring for $1,000.

TALENT. Brennan has some
young men and boys who have
a vast amount of lateet talent
and mechanical ability; were
they to apply their inventive
genius to devising plans for
building flying machines or cot
ton pickers, their efforts would
no doubt be crowned with sue
cess, but their ambition does
not reach SO high, at present
they are satisfied to put in their
leisure time in attaching tin
cans and other light weight arti-
cles to the tails of such inno-
cent and unsuspecting cur dogs
as they can inveigh to a seclud-
ed spot. 1t no doubt requires
a vast deal of talent to properly
