At Sherman, Will Evans, colored,
charged with theft and burglary, was ar
raigned for trial on Friday, and in de-
fault of $500 bond was sent to jail.
Rutabaga johnson, politically speaking,
is no more. The sage of Collin, like the
prophet, is without honor even in his own
bailiwick, judging from recent events.
A vicious dog bit a boy, son of j. G.
Champion, at the camp-meeting, Monday
night, at Briar creek, near Corsicana.
The wound was painful, but not serious.
Captain Gillespie, of the State Rangers,
captured sixteen Mexican smugglers in
Preside county-fourteen of whom are

Wisdom McGill, colored Baptist
preacher, was shot and instantly killed in
Bryan on last Monday night by some un-
known person. A shot gun did the bust
ness. No clue to the perpetrator of the
crime.
At Dallas a lively scrimmage took place
at the White Elephant saloon, Saturday,
which finally assumed the character of
general knock-down and drag out on the
go-as-you-please PLAN. Several arrests
we're made.
Conrad Seabaugh, who has been
mourned as dead by his family for
twenty-five years, returned to San Antonio
last Friday. He has been knocking all

The city editor at Dallas tackled some
hoka-poka about midnight Thursday, and
the consequence was the city editor had
an incipient attack of cholera morb1s.
Hoka-poka is the ice-cream that is yended
on the streets in the city.

SUSPECTED OF HAVING TOO MUCH
FONDNESS FOR HORSE FLESH
THEY ARE SCOOPED

The two negroes Jack Scott and John
Jackson mention who arrest was
made yesterday, told any number of yarns.
When first arrested they asserted they
were from Washington county, but could
give no satisfactory account for whom
they had worked or from whom or when
they obtained the horses they were riding.
They were arrested by city policemen
Darnwell and Folwell, to whom they told
their story, but yesterday when turned
over to the city authorities they
refreshed the officers with
TOTALLY DIFFERENT
tale, saying this time that they were from
Bell and Milan counties. Occasionally
they would vary the story and said they
came from Robertson county. They were
riding brown horses, one of them branded
Ks and the other G. T. The officers are
satisfied that both horses were stolen.

DEATHS DOINGS.

The following notice, from the Groes-
beck New Era, recounts the death of a
lady who once lived in Austin, and will be
remembered by many of the old citizens:
"Mrs. Juliet Jayne, mother to Mr.. A. A.
Jayne and Mrs. A. G. Camp, died on Mon
day evening, July 26, at a quarter past
one o'clock, at the residence of Mr.. A. A.
Jayne.
Mrs. Jayne was born in Chester district,
South Carolina, May 6, 1905, and had, there
fore, passed her 18th year; moved to
Pickens county, Ala, in 1918, married Mr..
B. HI. Jayne, September 80, 1928; moved
to Austin, Tex, January, 1910. On the
10th of July, 1912, her husband was killed
at Austin by the Indians, and her elder
son, then lad of Is, was captured by
them, and she never heard from him
again. She was then left with four little
children, the oldest being but IL years.
She moved to Brandon, Miss, in 1849
Groesbeck in 1878, and resided here till
the time of her death.
'Some time during the year 1878 she re-
ceived injuries from fall from which
she never entirely recovered. For the
past five weeks she has been gradually
sinking.
"She has been a member of the Baptist
church since 1916; was an affectionate
mother; charitable neighbor, and a
Christian lady, known throughout this
county,

bereaved relatives"

THE CORRECT LAND POLICY FOR
WEST TEXAS.
A PEcos CITY LITTER.

fECOb ClI1 btEIFH'
The following letter was written from
this place in answer TO one from prom
inent candidate for state office. H. fur
nishes some valuable suggestions, as it
proposes practical solution of the vexed
land question in the country west of the
plains-a question in which every tax
payer and child in the state is directly in
terested:
PEcos CITY, July II, 1886.
DEAR SIR:-Replying to yours of the
18th inst, beg to SAVIOUR delegates to
the state convention go uninstructed. The
land question is the all important one for
us. To us, of the Pecos valley, no practi-
cal theory has yet been advanced by any
candidate for state honors. I account for
it on the theory that not one has made a
study of the question as it is applied to
this portion of the state. theory that
would apply to the country adjacent to
the Colorado, the Brazos, the Trinity and
other streams, would not apply here, for
the reason that the general features, the
topography of this country, is very differ
ent from any east of the plains. This
country to be of practical utility must be
irrigated. The general lay of the lands
and the streams themselves, seem especi-
ally adapted for this purpose. Then
our plan is to sell the valley
lands along all of these western
streams now, and to actual settlers only !;
let water be conveyed through system of
ditching to the lands remote from the
streams = the grazing lands. These
bitches will furnish watsr for Irrigating
and stock purposes. By this means the
valley lands will be utilized and made very
valuable, while the upper lands beyond the
reach of water will be in demand for the
purpose mentioned. We can make this a
stock-farmipg country. 1t will furnish
homes for thousands, and will bring one
hundred dollars into the state treasury
where one now unwillingly finds its way.

know this to be practical 1t will be ac-

BLOOD AND MONEY.

The blood of man has mach to do in shay ing
his actions during his pilgrimage through this
troublesome world, regardless of the amount of
present or eXpectant money in pocket or stored
away in bank. 1t is conceded fact that we appear
as our blood makes us, and the purer the blood,
the happier, healthier, prettier and wiser we are ;
hence the oft repeated interrogatorv, show is your
blood?" With pure streams of life-gi ing fluid
coursing through our veins, bounding through our
hearts and ploughing through our physical frames,
our morals become better, constitutions
stronger our intellectual faculties more acute and
crander, and men, women and children happier,
healthier and mere lovely.

curative powers, and the unmistakable proof from
those of ulimpeaLhable character and integrity,

remedy ever before known to mortal man, in the

Skin D seases, all taints of Blood Poison, Kidney
Complaints, old ulcers and sores, cancers, catarrh
etc.
B. B. is only about three years old-a baby in
age giant in power-but no remedy in America
can make or ever has made such wonderful
showing in its magical powers in curing and en-
trely graduating the above complaints, and gigan-
tic sales, in the face of frenzied opposition and
wouldbe moneyed monopolists.

Some say they receive more benefit from one bottle
of B. B. B. than they have from twenty, thirty and

Sunday it seemed as ifthe whole town
was in the grove. After singing by the
choir. and PRAYER for the down-trodden
and oppressed, We delivered an hour and
half sermon, showing up the rulers,
usurers and hypocrites in the language
of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Moses and Jesus
Christ. Like John, We told the people
that athe kingdom of heaven is at hand, :
and wound u bv trying to explain how
Christ's prayer would be answered when
he asked that Gods will should be done
in. earth as it is in heaven, how 1t was
possible to have something that is heav-
emily right here. At the close resolu-
ons were unanimously carried by that
large Christian gathering condemning
in the strongest terms the lying news
papers of the town and those who were
trying to rob the people Of the last YES
3tige Of liberty.
/ A ladies' committee then announced
an ice cream festival to be held in the
grove the next evening for the benefit OF
the one who was holding these meetings
throughout the state. The largest sotial
gathering of the season, composed OF
the best people of Parsons, mostly ladies',
came to the grove on Monday evening
and had gr nd, ld.fashioned, good
time. Abundance of fine music, ice
cream and pretty girls helped make the
time more joyous, and gray-haired
Knights who hadn't cracked a smile
since the eleventh of last March were

Next day was election to fill the va
cancY caused by the councilman OF the
fourth ward leaving town. This ward
contains mostly the men who took the
places of the strikers, called scabs, but a
straight knight of Labor candidate had
been put in the field, and was elected
by big majority over one of the veal
thiest physicians of the city, by the
same men who had been given up as
having lost all self-respect. All things
work together for good to those who
love the Lord, and We now expect to

THE SPIRIT OF REVOLT,
lContinued.l


Meanwhile, what picture more raw
ishing, more sublime and more beauti-
ful than that of the efforts which were
made by the forerunners of the Revolu-
tions What incessant labor on the part
of the peasants and certain men of ac-
ton of the bourgeoise prior to 1889
what persevering struggle on tle part of
the republicans from the restoration of
the bourbons, in 1915 to their fall in
1880; what activity on the part Of the
secret societies during the reign of the
coarse bourgeoise Louis Philippe
What picture so poignant as that of the
conspiracies made by the Italians to
shake off the yoke of Austria, of their
heroic attempts, of the indescribable
suferings of their martys What trag-
edY is there 80 mournful and grand as
that which should relate to us all the
adventures connected with the secret
work undertaken by the youth of Rus
sia, against the government and the rule
of landowner and capitalist, from 1850
up to the present day What noble fig
ures should rise before the Socialist of
to-day when he reads those dramas !;
what devotion and sublime self-abnega-
ton coupled with Revolutionary in
struction, no longer theoretical but prac
tical, by which the present generation
ought to profit
This is not the place to undertake a
similar study. We ought then to con-
fine ourselves to the selection of some
examples illustrative Of the manner in
which our fathers took the making of
Revolutionary agitation in hand, and of
what sort of conclusion can be drawn
from the studies in question.
We will cast glance at one of those
periods. the one which preceded 1889,
and, leaving on one side the analysis of
the circumstances which toward the end
of the last century created Revolution
ary situation, we will confne ourselves
to the referring to certain methods of
agitation employed by our predecessors.
Two great facts stand out as the
result Of the Revolution of 1889 to 1898.
On the one side the abolition of royal
autocracy and the coming of the bour-
geolse to power; ON the other Ade the
definite abolition of serfage and of feu
dal dues in the country districts. The
two are closely connected with one an
other, the one could not have been sue
cessful without the other. And these
two currents are to be found again dur
ing the agitation which preceded the
Revolution; the agitation against roy
atty in the heart of the bourgeoise, the
agitation against the rights of the nobil
ity among the peasants.
Let us cast glance at these two.
The newspaper had not at that time
the importance which It has acquired
to-day; it is the tract, the pamphlet, the
leafet of three or four pages which oc
cupied its place. Consequently tracts
and pamphlets swarm. The tract put:
within the reach of the masses the ideas
of the philosophers and the economists
the fore.runners of the Revolution; the
pamphlet and the fugitive leafet make
the agitation by attacking the three
principal enemies: the king and his
