THERE was time when the people OF
Texas had to send their children abroad to
Dc educated. That time has passed. We
have univt rsities and colleges equal to any
in the country. We have the State univer-
: sity, whose faculty take rank with the
ablest, north or south. Then, too, those who
wish to patronize sectarian colleges can dc
30 without leaving the state. In fact, we
have UNCONVENTIONAL colleges and univer.
stiles equal in ability and high standing to
similar institutions in the older states.
Why, then, should we send our children
away from home to be educatedY

The Waco Day gives the derivation of

mology, but we think it has hit the case
exactly. Whiskey was forbidden in that
land of promise and its settlers were de-
termined to have it there in name if not in
effect. The Indians fire water has stamped
its name on history.

The sequence of disasters is exemplifed
in the terrible destruction by fire of the
town of Seattle. Hardly had the people
ceased to shudder at the fearful recital of
loss of life in the northeast, when the
wires are laden with the news of devasts-
ton by fire in the northwest. So far,
however, the news has fortunately been
simply of the destruction of property,
but in such stupendous conhagration it
would seem impossible there should not
have been some death casualties. These
are feared, and yet may be reported.

"Death Has So Many Doors to
Let Out Life"

Sang an old time poet. In those days they
had not discovered remedies that shut
these doors. How different is DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery from the old
time doses. Consumption, or lung -scrof-
ula, is one wide door that it shuts, if taken
in time. Don't waste moment, then, lest
life slip thorough that open door. 1t is
guaran teed to cure in all cases of diseases
for which it is recommended, or money
paid for it will be refunded.

THE Wrought Iron Range company, of
st. Louis, has earned the gratitude of
Texas for the handsome donation it has
made our Confederate home. A six hun
dred dollar gift is the richest yet made the
Home. These royal contributions of six
hundred dollars here and one hundred dol
lars there and yonder, all from outside
the state, should prove eonolusively to our
people in what high regard this Home is
held by outsiders, and should inflame us
with the determined desire to place this
fedgling of the peoples philanthropy
upon the frmest financial footing. No
worthier object for assistance can be
found. The necessity for its founding
points the proprieiy of its rich endow-
ment,

The Fort Worth Gazette tells only half
the truth when it says: "a few months
ago the railroads of Texas appealed to the
people of the state for fairness and justice
Now, the people appeal to the railroads
for fairness, and the answer of the roads
is four-day ticket, sold two days in the
week. Soon again it may be the turn of
the roads to appeal t. the people-and we
must wait until then to see the answer of
the people.

A scrap of Paper Saves Her Life

1t was just an ordinary scrap of
wrapping paper, but it saved
her life. She was in the last
stages of consumption, told by physicians
that she was incurable and could live only
short time; she weighed less than seventy
pounds. On piece of wrapping paper
she read of DR.. Kings New Discovery, and
got a sample bottle; it helped her, she
bought large bottle, it helped her more,
bought another and grew better fast, con-
iiuued its use and is now strong, healthy,
rosy, plump, weighing 40 pounds. For

Potter eulogized, the nation stood up to

Or the different kinds of state rights
there is one state right The STATESMAN
believes the state of Texas should exercise
and that is the right to furnish food, shell

to battle in her name who are now dis
abled from wounds or disease or who are
too old and infirm to take care of them
selves. 1t is a sacred debt Texas owes
these SCARED and MANNED veterans, and

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.


when l was living in steamboat town
on the Mississippi" remarked an old man
in BARRIERS shop few days ago, there
was fellow who put up very neat job on
the inhabitants, against whom he must have
had some terrible grudge. He came into
the town one day and distributed handbills
right and left, taking special pains to put as
many of them as possible into the hands of
farmers who had come in to sell their grain.
"This was before the railroads came to
take business away from the river towns
some of which had an immense trade. The
place | was in had 5000 or {, 900 inhabitants,
and was the shipping port for all the grain
raised for miles around, as well as the place
where the farmers obtained all their SUD-
plies The last time was there it had dwin-
died down to q village of z, 900, and per-
haps by this time it has no existence at all,
even on the map
These bills that were so freely scattered
about stated that the advertiser had a con-
tract with certain steamboat company
for furnishing large number of cats to
destroy the rats and mice that were very
numerous about the warehouses at different
landings along the river. He. therefore
offered So for each full-grown tom
cat, 81 for each healthy fe-
male puss, and so cents a head
for kittens old enough to get their own liv-
iIg. All the cats were to be delivered at a
certain place in the town on a Thursday
evening-the night that particular boat
was due.
"Well, that Thursday afternoon came and
the streets of the town were just crowded
with people. They came in wagons, on foot,
and on horseback, and every person carried
a sack, some of tnem several.
"By eve ling between 5000 and 1000 cats
had been brought into that defenseless city.
They were left in and about a vacant build
ing near the landing The man who was to
purchase the cats was nowhere in sight
The country people were making inquiries
for him everywhere. A crowd of boys,
attracted by the caterwauling went
to the old building and began amusing
themselves by uutying the bag, and lettin
out the cats. OF course, the cats began
fighting and raised noise like 10000 de-
mons. Suddenly a stampede occurred and
the ami nails rushed pell nell into the crowd.
crawling over people, jumping and fight
ing, and climbing walls and roofs in mad
race for liberty. The boys took after the
cats, and the men Joined IN, determined to
rid the town of the feline invaders. The
next morning there were good many stray
cats seen about in back yards, and a good
many dead ones lying in the streets and
alleys. One boatman laid he counted over
400 dead cats in the river. The man who
perpetrated the joke was never seen in the
place, luckily for him"

MARK TWAIN's GHOST STORY.
The Church Band of Workers Never
Pressed Him to Tell Another.

Pressed Him to Tell Another.
From the Minneapolis Tribune
A few years ago the Band of Workers,
or some other society connected with Mr..
TwichelPs church, gave an entertainment,
and Mark was requested to tell a story He
consented and large audience was the re-
suit When he mounted the platform he in
sisted that the gas be turned down low aud
the consequence was that one could hardly
see ones hand before ones face. Upon
the stage stood Mr.. Clemens, with strong
light from a reflector shining full in his
face, while all TIE rest was darkness He
presented weird spectacle, with his hair
standing up all over his head. In a deep.
sepulchral voice he began, and said that he
would tell the tale of 1.-The Golden ARM
This tale tells how a young girl had an
artificial arm made of gold; she died and
was buried, and her father finally thought
he would exhume her body and take the
arm, that he might sell it. Accordingly
one dark, stormy night, he set out on his
mission. (All this while Marks voice kept
growing deeper, and more sepulchral) The
rather dug up the body, obtained posses
sion of the coveted arm, and started back
home. The wind was bowling, the road
was dark and gloomy, and the guilty
parent nervous aud very much frightened
Suddenly, above the mournful cry of the
soughing wind came low, dismal wall
saying, where's my golden arml Where's
my golden arm" and glancing over
his shoulder the terrified father
saw the ghost of his daugh-
ter, her good arm gesticulating wildly, pur-
suing him. He ran on home, and all the
while came the wall of the child, crying:
where's my golden arm" Up stairs he
went, this cry still ringing in his ears He
undressed and timidly crept into bed Out
on the stairs, nearer, ever nearer, he heard
the wall and in terror listened to the patter
of advancing footsteps. Suddenly the door
was opened and tie ghostly figure of his
daughter advanced, crying: "Wnere's my
golden armT' The father, frightened almost
to insensbility, covered up his head in the
blankets, and the spook placed her hand on
the coverlsts and cried: Where's my
golden armF'
Just at this moment Mark gave jump,
spread out his arms wildly and III voice

came a series of yells and groans and ex-

and when the gas was turned up the worst
lot of frightened people in the United
States were revealed. l believe, at q meet
