The DrOuth Playing Havoc i'm
the Pan Handle Section
of Texas.
Cattle Dying for the Lack Oh
Water and Crops Almost
DESTROYED.

Galveston, May 29.-Specials to the
Ne'cs from every section of Texas report a
general drOuth prevailing all over the
state, causing much suffering and loss
among cattle and other live stock. In
some sections the small grains have been
seriously damaged. The cotton crop is
threatened, but as yet has sustained no sp-
Preclable damage In Northwestern Texas,
the Pan Handle country, the drouth is
most severely felt. Cattle are reported To
be dying by the thousands L .e smaller
water holes have gone dry and the cattle
roam about In great herds, believing piie-
ously. No general rains have visited
the cattle regions for several months and
the spring grass being meagre and decient
in nutrition, has LETT the cattle IN poor
condition. In Southwestern Texas, the
chief wool growing sc ton of the state, the
drouth Is equally severe and many thou
sands OF sheep have died. The reports
from that section are few, but all are of the
same disastrous tenor. In Central, North
ern and Eastern Texas, comprising the
small grain and cotton belt, the general
cry is water" but owing I, TN
agricultural character of those sections,
the drOu1l has not yet resulted In serious
loss or kImage; hut should it prevail
many days longer crops of all kinds will
be very seriously damaged.

Il DEPOT DESTROYED.
That of the NJ, X. L. L. at CIin-
ton Burned Early Yes.
terday Morning.
The Ice COmpany's Building Also
COnSumed-LOSSeS and
Insurance.

Clinton, No., May 29.-[Specisl. This
morning between and ) O'clock a fire
broke out at the NJ, X. d L. depot, which
resulted quite disaStrously to the company
and the total destruction of the Clinton Ice
company's building, together with por-
ton of its contents.
About o'clock a freight train stopped
at the depot aud hot box was lOOkei after
by the train men. An hour later the
depot pla form was discovered TO be on
fire and near by quantity of burning
waste. The superstition is that bunch OF
this waste ignited the platform and the
flames communicated TO the depot, result
ing in Its beirg entirely consumed.
Little could be gotten out of the office
The local ticket case WAS removed and a
few of tn. books. The coupon ticket case,
safe, telegraph instruments, tables and
other furniture remained. Everything,
however, in the freight room, including
baggage, was safely taken out.
The Clinton Ice cOmpany's building, To-
Gated west of the depot, fell prey TO the
fla mes, also. Fire was carried by the
brisk breeze that prevailed, tn the ice
house, and the heat was SO intense that To
reach the building with water, with the
means at command, was impossible, and it
was soon In a mass of flames.
Mr.. John MueIlrr's house directly north,
across the street from the ice house, was
saved by fortunate change in the wind to
the eastw I'd.
The ice company's property was insured
Tor $1,000, but the loss ca:.nOt be ascer-
tanned until an inventory is taken.
Whether there was any insurance on the
depot building could not be learned. The
safe, which is too hot to he opened to-day,
contained $50; $3.50 in checks, so in
silver and the ba ance in currency. All
but SD of this was in an inside compart-
ment. For the present the NJ, X. 4 T.
people will use the h. e. Il ;. depot and
telegraph Office.

PERSONAL examination of them, but failed
to ind evidence of any disease or stric-
ture. The state then announced that they
had no further evidence in rebuttal to
offer.
Mr.. FauntlerOy, of defense, asked the
privilege OF having the parts OF Preller's
body I'm the possession of the state inspect
ed by experts for the defense.
Hr. Clover, of the prosecution, wanted the
names II the experts submitted to him,
and was willing to give them to any repu-
table surgeon or physi- ian kept the med

dred officer and many thousand soldiers of
the army from all parts of the world are
present. A breakfast was ,iven to the del
gates in Exeter hall. which was crowded to

alone $3.50, 900 had been contributed to the
army's treasury. One thousand girls had

and nineteen homes for the poor and
friendless had been established and put in
working order. The prison brigade, the
general said, was doing good wo,k.
Delegate Smith, from the United States.
made an address en the army's work in
America and greatly moved the audience
BY his thrilling stories of souls saved.
A Canadian delegate said that
he regretted that Canada had
not given to the army a portion of the
money spent in killing the Riel rebellers.
II the money had been given to the army
the rebels might all have been converted
and save. and Riel himself might have
been now major in the army.
Miss Booth testified that the French and
Swiss members OF the army Were among
the most solid and devoted workers it pos
sessed, but that they lacked funds. She
urged the English TO contribute to their
treasures to enable them to proceed in the
good cause.
Rev. Mr.. Price, Rev. Mr. Hughes and
Others urgently appealed for funds.
The congress, during the evening, had
grand procession with bands and banners
through the streets of London.

Windsor Goes not propose to coUn-
tenance Frank Hopkirk. the youthful
murderer of an inOffensive old man,
even if he has by legal trickery es-
capped the punishment which he so
richly merited, as will be seen by a
perusl Of the following editorial from
the Windsor Review
1--WE had hoped that it would not
be necessary for us to say anything
further in the Hopkirk case, but we
cannot hear the murmurs OF our peo-
pie without giving 4 word of warning,
in the hope that our neighborhood
may not be the scene Of another
tragedy. And as surely as the sun
rises in the east will this be the case
if Frank HOpkirk's friends persist in
openly disregarding the feelings of an
outraged community and bring into
their midst the rei-handed murderer,
whose vic i'm sleeps unavenged in his
bloody gravel Let them beware. By
some means they have managed to
rob the gallows of its well-earned fruit,
but all their willy sophistries will not
avail to change the general belief.
He has been tried at the bar of public
opinion, their verdict has been made
out a. d it stands unaltered. Let the
fsiends w~O have succeeded in thus
evading the law content themselves
with the knowledge that Frank is free
and not insult the people of this COM
munity by bringing him into our
midst. 1t is not safe. Better send
him out to the place from which his
insulting letters to our county officials
purport to come and let him stay
there. He has already been seen by
different parties riding around the
country. 1t will not do, and his
friends will do well to heed our we'll
meant advice and get him out of the
country, if he is vet here. These are
plain words, but they are true ones.

Killed by the Cars.

Sioux City, 10, May 3l.-The north
bound midnight train on the Omaho Road
found man lying dead in the middle of
the track near the Union Depot at Lemars
at 100 this morning. When discovered
the body lay lengthwise of the track, face
up gard, with the bowels torn open and the
lower part of the face badly dis6guared.
An examination proved that the man had
been dead for some time when found. The
remains haven't been identified, but are
probably those of a tramp. The police
have taken charge of the body, and moth
ing can be ascertained as to whom the un-
fortunate man can be.

opposition to him. 1t would occur to
almost any good democrat that the

very little of that tedious digging
among the ruins of ancient Rome and
Greece, with which the average school
boy or girl endeavors to impress his
hearers, and, generally speaking,
much less of the "cut and dried"
methods commonly evidenced.
Whether this result was brought
about by the advice of teachers, or
because in each generation there is a
more spontaneous individuality which
seeks expression, is not known, but
the change was acceptable and well
worth retaining. We are in the
midst of live age, there are ten
thousand avenues Of thought open to
the intelligent student, which, while
perhaps superinduced by his text
books, present wonderful Opportuni-
ty for that culture, which is alone the
real practical foundation of education
and which, when well trodden, is
bound to introduce an element at
once harmonious and beneficial TO the
progress of our civilization. BY all
means let us have individual
thought. combined with the thoughts
of others, if need be, but yet crystal
lied in such a manner that it shines
from the dust of the past as a star
shines when the cloud has swept be-
yond lis radius.
