PARSONS BRIGADE.
First Day of the Annual Reunion at Kaufman.
Speechmaking and Barbecue.

Speechmaking and Barbecue.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
KAUFMAN, Tex, Aug. THE annual
reunion of Parsons brigade opened this
morning at II a. M. with the largest
assembly that ever gathered in Kaufman
county. There was a continual stream
of people pouring into the town from
early avn, and by the time the exercises
opened the crowd was estimated TO De
about six thousand.
At IL a m. Judge H. P. league OF
this county was introduced as the first
orator of the day. He made the address
of welcome which was responded to by
Mai. W. T. Cowles Of Athens, Tex.
Mai. Cowles paid a high tribute to the
memory of Gen. Marmaduke. At the
close of his speech dinner was announced
and there was rush to the table, which
was so bounteously supplied with barbe-
cued meats by the citizens of Kaufman
county.
After dinner the people again
assembled around the grand stand,
where they were well entertained by an
address of welcome to the boys who wore
the blue by Capt. W. G.. Veal OF Fort
Worth, which was responded to by Col.
w. D. Wylie. He related many remin-
iscences of the patriotism and valor OF
the Confederate soldiers. He said that
though he wore the blue and fought for
| the Union army, nevertheless he loved
| the boys IN gray, and loved TO attend
! these reunions and meet the battle
SCARED veterans While he was speak
| ing an old Union flag, all tattered and
| torn, was swung on a limb over his head.
| One Of the curiosities to be seen on the
| ground was Edna Kings old war horse,
| Davie, all equipped in war style. The
| horse is thirty-one years old, and still re-
| tains his yigor and fire.
A sad occurrence happened on the
| grounds in the evening. While all were
happy and gay, injOyings the occasion,
| there was one heart made sad, in the
shape of a mother whose little baby sud-
| denly died of congestion. A great many
people from the adjoining counties were
encamped on the grounds intending to
| stay and attend all the exercises. To-
night the grand concert given by the
musical talent of the city of Kaufman
came off. 1t was a grand success. All
the old veterans that were in attendance
upon the reunion were present and were
| given front seats. The magnificent
| courtroom and galleries were damned
and crowded until there was no standing
room left.
At the close the Kaufman band struck
up "Dixie'' and ''Bonny Blue Flag,
after which one old veteran who had lost
a limb arose and asked for three cheers
for the boys in blue and gray, which was
responded to by the entire audience.
Thus passed the first day of the reunion .

TALMAGE is an eminently practical
thinker and speaker, and he has sized
up the newspaper question-as he does
every question he discusses-just about
right. He says: "My idea of a good
newspaper is a mirror of life itself. Some
people complain because the evil of the
world is reported as well as the good.
The evil must be reported as well as the
good or how viii we know what to guard
against or what to reform? There is a
chance for discrimination as to how much
space shall be given to report such things
as prize fights, but the newspaper that
merely presents the fair and the beauti-
full and the bright side of life is a mis-
representation. That family is best
qualified for the duties of life who have
told to them not only what good there is
in the world, but what evil there is in the
world, and is told to select the good
and reject the evil -

County Seat Var.

TOPEKA, KAN, Aug. S.-Adjt.- Gen.
Roberts, who went to Garfield county,
Kan. Monday, to investigate the threat.
ened county seat war there between thu
towns of Ravenna and Emiuence, rs.
turned to-day. He reports that WHEN
he arrived at Eminence he found tha.a
company of 100 men had been ORGANIZED
TO proceed to Ravenna, the prese1.
county seat, to remove the records and
money in the treasurer IS office there to
Eminence. They represented to Gen.
Roberts that the treasurer, who is an
Eminence man, was afraid his life would
be endangered if he attempted to Longer
transact his business in Ravens.
The treasurer denied this and then ]: BE-
came known that their Representations
were only a ruse to divert Gen. Roberts
suspicion. The latter commanded the
organization of armed men to disbant
and the command was Obeyed. He made
them promise to raise no disturbance q
least until the county seat question
settled in the courts. He has no hops
that the promise will not be broken and
he reports the excitement over the mat
ter and the bitter feeling of the two
towns for one another as liable to lead 70
a conflict at almost any time.

For the six months ending June 80,
Great Britain imported 26.828 1853 cwt.
of wheat, of which 8,3Ol ,SI8 owt. was
American, 1913 .237 Indian, 1888, 586
Russian, and 4 1919 ,712 from other coun-
tries. These are interesting figures to the
farmers, railroad directories and mer-
chants of the United States. The wheat
fields of the West ought to supply Great
Britain with most of the grain she con-
sumes, but Russia has surpassed us in
the trade and India bids fair to do so be-
fore many years. England is our best
misunderstanding largely more than half
of the 500 900. 600 that constitute our
exports-and before we go voting sub
sides to patch up an insignificant trade
with South America, we ought to take
some steps to increase our commerce in
the rich markets of England and her col
Onies

TIE CASE OF DE. BOREPS.

THE CASE or DR. BOWEHO.
The people of San Francisco have upon
their hands murder mystery with which
are connected number of sensations.
A few years ago DR.. j. Milton Bowers
made his appearance in Chicago, and cut
a pretty wide swathe in medical and soci-
ETY. circles. Where he came from nobody
knew, but when he left the city he left
long record in the police note books.
While in Chicago his house burned I'M
der circumstances that led the in
surance companies to refuse TO
pay the indemnity. Shortly afterward
his wife died, and he was suspected OF
having poisoned her. He got away
from Chicago and finally turned up n
San Francisco. Here he married again,
and was soon again a widower under sus-
piolous circumstances, but there was not
enough proof against him to cause him
any trouble. Again he married, and his
wife being insured for SIT 900, soon
sickened and died. The coroner's jury
declared she had been poisoned, and the
doctor was brought to trial and convicted
of murder.
The trial was very interesting and SEN
sational. Among other things, he could
not tell for what the letter 'J.' in his
name stood, and he did not know his
mothers Christian name. His ignor-
ance of these things he explained by say
ing his parents had persisted in the
desert of Sahara when he was five years
old, In these and other things every
BODY felt that he was lying, but he fixed
everything so as to put it beyond the pos
sibilitv of investigation. He appealed to
the supreme court, furnished his iail
quarters in luxurious style, and has been
living high while waiting for his case to
be disposed of. Friends have been al
lowed to visit him, and ne has pretty
nearly enjoyed himself during his incar-
ceration. All the time he has expressed
confidence in his final acquittai.
While the case was pending before the
supreme court new sensation startled
Inc CITY 1Sliy OOiASNy ~ ~ ONANS- -
the poisoned wife, was found dead in his
room. letter, with his name signed to
| it, lay by his side. In it he confessed
that he had killed his sister, and, unable
to bear up longer under his load of guilt,
intended taking his own life. The SUI
preme court, upon this confession, grant
| ed Rowers q new trial. But there were
many whom it did not satisfy. Experts
testified that the letter was in Benhay-
| on's handwriting. Other experts swore
| it was forgery. A young man named
Demming, who had visited Bowers in
Jail, was suspected, and strong circum-
stantial evidence was adduoed against
him. But he was acquitted.
Beuhayon's confession will probably
clear the latter, though most people be-
lieve him guilty. Plenty of money +,
with nerve and determination and brains,
will come pretty near defeating justice in
any case, and Bowers seems to have
plenty of all three.
He is very shrewd scoundrel, both in
the commission of crime and IN avoiding
punishment.

WHILE the country is discussing Com
missioner Tanner it may be worth while
to make a note of the proportion of PEN
sioners according to the ordinary rates.
June 30, 1888, Commissioner Black re-
ported that there were 1926 1886 pensioners
of ell classes on the rolls. OF these 3D.
722 drew but 50 per month, SO, 2I0 drew
81 per month, At ,66l Sc per month and
60. I42 SIS per month. These classes COM
prised oil ,735 cut of the total of 1926 1885.
The report we quote is the last accessible
in detail. At that time II ,257 drew $50
a month, 1880 $50 month, and only 2
500 a month. Loss of both hands and
feet entitle the pensioner to S72 per
month, and total deafness $50 per month.
There is little opposition there should be
none-to reasonable pensions properly
bestowed. It is to pensioning the ''coffee
cookers that the tax payers object.

GHooLY KHAN was a pretty level
headed man in one respect at least. 1t
is related of him that soon after arriving
in Washington he was invited to dine
with married couple who had formerly
lived in Persia. The invitation was gra-
ciously accepted. Unfortunately the
former American residents in Persia had
one drawback to their marital happi-
ness; they had no children. It seems
that in Persia it is the custom to assem-
bic around the table all of the children
of the family when very special dinner
is given. When, therefore, the minister
noticed that there was an entire absence
of the little ones, he inquired through
his secretary, who speaks English well,
the cause of it. The lady of the house
replied that she did not have any chill
dren, but laughingly added that if she
had been SO blessed she could never have
loved them as she did that "dear Great
ure'' whose portrait hung just over tie
mantel piece. The dear creature refer
red to was the likeness of a "pug dog,
pet in the household, who died short
time before, and whose memory was per-
petuated in oil. When this was trans
lated to the minister an expression OF
horror came over his countenance. He
evidently did not enjoy his meal, and he
brought his visit to an abrupt conclusion.
He never could be induced to enter the
house again, protesting that he could not
associate with a lady 'that loved dogs
more than she did children.

They Form One of the Biggest Combines Of

PITTsBURG, PA. Aug. 9.-One of the
most gigantic combinations the industrial
world has ever seen is being perfected.
1t is the incorporation of table glassware
manufacturers of Pennsylvania, Ohio
and West Virginia into an immense trust.
The headquarters will be at Pittsburg
and the table glass works Of these states
will be under one control. The matter
has been under consideration for some
time, erystalizing not rapidly but surely
The details are now in perfect shape and
the com bination is assured. The
economy of having one company con-
trolling the enormous product under
single management viii alone secure
handsome profits from the protection it
will afford against inevitable loss from
over production, rate cutting, etc. The
corporation to be formed proposes to
purchase other plants at their appraised
value, allowing a liberal compensation
for good and well established trade. All
the factories, large and small, 20 into
this company on an equitable basis. All

They Visit the Coke Works and Drive the Men
Ont After Winning the Strike.
PITTsBURG, Pa. Aug. 9.-Private dis
patches from the Connellsville coke re-
gions report a gang of 400 drunken Hun
garian coke workers on raid. They do
not seem to understand that the strike
was settled in their favor, and this morn
ing they started out to close the works IN
operation. They first marched to More
wood and drove the men out, and then
went to the Alice works, where they also
forced the men to quit. They are still on
the warpath, and when last heard from
they were on the way to the Bessemer
works. Considerable damage was done
at Norwood and Alice, but no one was
seriously hurt. Among the English
speaking coke workers there is general
rejoicing over the termination of the
strike in their favor. The works in the
entire region will be in operation next

SENATOR INGALLS,, in the Forum for
August. thus writes on Prohibition in
Kausas:' ''Kansas has abolished the
saloon. The open dram shop traffic is as
extinct as the sale of indulgences. A
drunkard is a phenomenon. The bar
keeper has joined the troubadour, the
crusader and the mound builder. The
brewery, the distillery and the bonded
warehouse are known only to the arch
seologist. It seems incredible that
among a population of l 200 900 people,
extending from the Missouri river to Col
orado, and from Nebraska to Oklahoma,
there is not a place where the thirsty or
hilarious wayfarer can enter and,
laying down com, demand his
glass of beer. This does not imply
that absolute drouth prevails everywhere
or that social irrigation has entirely
disappeared. But the habit of drinking
is dying out. Temptation being removed
from the young and the infrm, they
have been fortified and redeemed. The
LIQUOR seller, being prescribed, is an out
law, and his vocation disreputable.
Drinking being stigmatized, is out of
fashion, and the consumption of intoxi-
cants has enormously decreased. INTEL
lgent and conservative observers esti-.
mate the reduction at go per cent. it
cannot be less than rs. Prohibition pro-
