COOK ACQUITTED AT GEORGETOwN.

Verdict That Elected Loud, Long and
Continued Applause.
Georgetown, August 4.-The jury in the
case Of the state VS.. w. F. Cook, charged
with the murder Of d. !. Healy, chief train
dispatcher on the Information railroad, at Tay-
lor, on the night Of the nth of July, after be-
ing out forty minutes. returned with a verdict
of not guilty. The jury was brought into
court by the deputy sheriff, and took their
stand before the Judge. The verdict was read
to the clerk by Hickory Jackson, forman, in a
firm, calm tone, as follows: 1.-The jury find
the defendant, w. F. Cook, not guilty." The
assent Of the twelve jurors being taken to this.
there was shout from the assembled crowd
which shook the old temple of justice from
center to circumference. The sheriff and
court were powerless to restore quiet and order,
and for seven minutes the greatest tumult and
confusion prevailed The shouts were COM
municated to the street, and the rousinp
cheers that came from every nook and corner
doubly indicated the defendant against the
charge of the crime imputed to him. Never
before in the history of the county was such
interest manifested in any case as was here
shown by good and law-abiding citizens. w.
F. Cook goes forth from this place vindi-
Gated man, both by the verdict of the jury and
an honest public sentiment.

Davis is the only republican in the district
that the opposition can be Concentrated upon.
1t would be folly to start an independent dem
ocrat in the race,-besides this Gov. Davis is
known to be republican standing fairly upon
every leading principle of that party, but in
good faith he pledgers he shall, if elected 20
into no party caucus but be controlled in his
action for the sole good of his district and the
people OF Texas.
The well known honesty, integrity and
truthfulness Of Gov. Davis gives his pledge
the force OF certainty with all parties. The
republicans only surrender the machine part
OF their party IN supporting Gov. Davis; the
democrats only surrender the benefits of the
caucus, and the free trade and the political
machine in voting for Davis, as he will not
enter the caucus of either party, but vote for
the interests Of Texas and his district. To
place straight republican nomination in the
field is to hold out a red flag for the demo-
cratic bull to run at, to assist in an indepen.
dent movement is to prove the complete liber-
atty of the republicans. Let the republicans
organize with completeness, in order that their
ranks remain unbroken and march to the polls
with firm and steady step to aid in redeemine
Texas from bourbon rule. The republican
who refuses TO do this is more effective
enemy to republicanism than the open and
avowed democrat.

DOES TIE MISSISSIPPI RUN UP HILL

The erroneous notion that the Missis.
sippi river is actually higher at its mouth
than at its source has obtained much
more general belief among intelligent peo.
pie than readers of Our Curiosity Shop
suppose. This notion grows out of the
fact that the earth is not a perfect globe.
its diameter at the equator being little
more than twenty-six miles greater than
the diameter from pole to pole. A math.
emrs.Sal calculation shows that the average
distance from the center of the earth to its
surface on the parallel of Balize, at the
mouth OF the Mississippi, is nearly two
miles greater than the average distance
from tn. center of the earth to its surface
on the parallel of Lake Itasca, the source
OF the Mississippi. But it does not follow
that tho surface of the Mississippi at its
mouth Is two miles higher than Lake Itasca.
Actual survey has demonstrated that it is
not so; but, on the contrary, that Lake
Itasca is l,575 feet, or whereabouts,
above SEA level. The rapid revolution of
the earth on its axis, at the rate of about
600 miles per hour, causes the waters of
tie earth to flow from the poles toward the
equator and remain at general surface
higntA OF about thirteen miles more from
the USUeR>cs .1c cath than the surface at
either pole. So long as the earth maintains
its prei emit rate of daily revolution the
level of the Gulf of Mexico is likely to be
kept lover than the source of the Missis
sippi, Int it is easy to understand that
should this diurnal rotation cease, the
ocean " ould recede from the equator to.
ward the poles, and not only would the
waters If the Gulf of Mexico rise higher
than th source OF the Mississippi, but all
North t-merica, except the portions nearest
the equator, would be submerged. At
present the earth's rotation ON its axis

THE COFFEE TRADE Some idea of the

In Europe alone the consumption of coffee
is said to have increased 24O COO, 600

producing countries, it seems that Brazil
now holds the first place, with total of

A FAMOUS CASTLE TO LET Ford Cas-.

which was fought the famous fight of Flod.

antiqusrians are grievously shocked. This
castle is of great antiquity, though moth
ing certain is known of it until 1887, when
it is matter of history that extensive re.
pairs were made. Towards the end of the
fourteenth century it was partially dis.
mantled in border fray. In 1913 it was
captured by James ". of Scotland. This
is the date of the true romance of Ford
Castle. King James found that Lady
Heron, wife of the possessor of the castle,
had remained behind it to guard it against
the enemy, while her husband was pris.
oner over the border. The King became
infatuated with Lady Heron ere ne had
long possessed the place, and for her sake,
1t is said, refrained from destroying it. II
was this dallying, say the historians, that
cost King James his awful fate on Flodden
Field. Lady Heron, it appeared after.

took advantage OF the delay and rushed on
to Fledden. The room occupied by the
King is still preserved in the old portion OF
the edifice.
