Cotton is selling to-day at to 1919
There have been some indications
Of rain to-day.
Will Moore, printer of this city,
shot hawk yesterday on the farm of
Mr.. Mi.ser Moore, ten miles south of
Waco, that measured four and a half
feet from tip to tip.
In another place this afternoon
will be found an interesting article
on the condition of the city finances,
which are not so bad as has been
painted.
Mr.. Miller Moore has moved his
family back to the city after two
months vacation at his farm south of
Waco, and his children will attend
the public schools during the coming
session.
There will be an ice cream festival
at the lawn of the Scandinavian
Lutheran church corner North 10th
and Barnard streets, Friday evening,
given by the ladies of the congrega-
ton, they extend cordial invitation
to all their friends to come and spend
the evening with them.
In the mayors court this morning,
J. II. Wilson, proprietor of the ST.
Charles saloon and restaurant, was
up for trial on a charge of keeping the
doors of his establishment open on
Sunday, in violation of the law. Mr..
Wilson's defence was that he only
kept open the door leading to his res
taurant while his bar was closed and
hidden from view by heavy screen.
He holds that the law permits him to
keep open his restaurant at all hours
of any day. The mayor after some
deliberation reserved his decision
until Monday next.

That Bogus Bill.

The case of Ben Jores, the colored
porter who was victimized with
worthless S. bill, which was briefly
alluded to in the News last evening,
when further Investigated by the Off
GERS resulted in the arrest of William
e. Porter, a white boy about Is years
OF age, upon a charge of swlndling.
The matter was first submitted to U.
S. District Attorney Pearre who dis
covered that the bill was bill of an
Arkansas state bank issued in 1868,
and that the United States law does
not apply to 1t. He referred the mat
ter to County Attorney Blair, how
ever, who proceeded to have Porter
arrested on charge of swindling.
Porter claims the money was paid
him for picking cotton and he knew
nothing of Its being worthless. He
says his parents live in Morris county
and that he came here from Kimble
county. His case will be further in
vestigated.

All plants are benefited by the hoe

keeps the surface in condition to get

Currant and gooscberry bushes

are pruued IN tree form they will
bear larger and finer fruit, and the
latter will not be 50 apt to mildew.
Plants require various kinds of

tircIy from the soil, but different
plants require different proportions in
order to have luXuriant growth.
In pruning cut the wood off close to

This is especially needful with the

Fighting, Ancient and Modern.

The only difference between ancient
and modern armies is the application
of steam, ~gunpowder, and dynamite
a very great n in appearance, but
not so much so in reality. Modern
armies do not need to be so large in
the field as ancient armies; vet it is
very questionable whether fewer peo-
pie are required for an effective war
Ia modern times than OF old. The
men who make the powder and dyna-
mite and the girls who fill the
cartridges are quite as much part and
parcel of a modern army as the sol
diers who fire them of, and run pref
ty nearly similar risks. The methods
Of modern warfare are exactly the
same as Of ancient warfare, and rela-
lively not much more effective, though
just as coarse and brutal. The long
bow was quits as effective a weapon
as the rifle, aud modern cannon do
not seem to be any great advance on
the bGtistg and battering-rams Of the
ancients. In naval warfare we have
actually gone back again to one of the
most ancient naval maneuvers, that
of ramming. The siege trains Of the
present day are lust as cumbersome as
siege trains in tunes when, as the BIZ
bic tells us, mountains and hills
were made low and valleys exalted;
when rough places were made plain
and the crooked straight Science
has not yet said its last word on the
adaptation Of natures secrets to re-
sistance against rapine, carnage and
wrong. whether exercised by nation
against nation or nations against in
dfviduals. Even new substances are
known to chemists which it only needs
finer mechanical skill to make into
efficient and invincible agents for de-
Tending civilization against barbarism
and saYagery. What secrets may be-,
and no doubt are, bid III the womb Of
nature, and ere willing to be revealed
by the hand of science, can only be
conjectured. But we may be. sure Of
this much; that the higher the civiliza-
ton and the more developed the INTEL
lect of the, future the more hopeless,
will become the attempts OF needy and
adventurous barbarians against the

Education &C West Point.


Adjt.- Gen. Drum, Of the army, thinks
that there is room for reform in the
system of education at West Point. He
would throw open the school TO q large
number of students and have only a
picked number of them actually ap-
pointed into the army, He believes IN
giving a large number of students a
military education and then in sending
them back to civil life, where they can
be useful as military professors at the
schools throughout the country in
helping to keep up the various militia.
organizations, and in case OF an emer-
gency could be relied upon for organ
i1ing and handling troops. The pres
ent SYSTEM at West Point has a tenden-
cy TO make a boy over into a machine,
and to give him false notions OF his
position in life. None of the boys
there are taught anything about their
own country. None Of them come ont
pf there with any correct notions about
the character Of this government
Their after life in the army tends to
make them creatures OF routine. ex-
cessiyely timid and conservative. All
of the great generals Of the war were
West Point graduates who had Jeff the
army and gone hack 10 civil life.-
