all that can bs learned ~ is possible the

proven themselves efficient officers. Strange
~ 1t may seem, there IL one man ut least on
the force who does not fesr Thompson and
who iearlessly discharges his duty.
The political waters are being DISTURBED
Just now az ~ whether there shalt he txo
or only one state convention. with very
large majority In favor of only one. The
opinion ob,sius that two are unnecessary
troublesome and expensive, aud from all
thaI can be learned here II the executive
committee will call one cunyeu-
tiap 10 meet In Fort Worth some.
TIME in Mey or June the people will be
satisfied. OF course there are some VINO
iayor holding two conventions brL reslly
public sentiment seems TO be against the
idea and the executive committee will
shoulder q heavy responsibility If they
assume TO call two without making the In

the pope.

ously injured the fruit Oats have been in
