Montgomery of Moody arrived in the city

Temple Sunday afternoon he
received a telegram from
the trainmaster of the Gulf !,

several men had fired at a local south
bound train at 2:30 p. m. two miles
north of Moody. He got on the north

ting on top of the bank and two down in
the cut. As the locomotive passed Nc
Call jumped off and threw his revolver
in the faces of the two on the ground.
All surrendered. One man who was sit
ting on the bank was found on investiga-
ton to have had nothing to do with the
affair and was allowed to go.
The three men when arrested were
considerably under the influence of
liquor and revolvers were taken from the
persons of J P. Freeland and Bide Free
land. They were brought to Waco via
Temple with several of the trainmen as
witnesses.
The witnesses state that when the train
was going up an incline at Blue Cut these
men boarded 1t and Conductor Guilfoyle,
who was in charge, compelled them
to get off, upon which he was
shot at: J P. Freeland firing four shots
and Neeley one. J. P. Freeland was
charged with assault on Conductor Gull
foyle with intent to murder, Bide Free
land with carrying a pistol and Medley
with aggravated assault and using abu-
sive language to the conductor. The
Freelands waived examination and gave
bond for their appearance before the
grand jury. Medley will be tried in the
county court tomorrow on a charge of
aggravated assault. The Freelands en-
joy n very fair reputation, and had it
not been for liquor would never have en-
gagged in such an affair.

DUBLIN, TEX, Feb. lS-This morn
ing is the coolest one this winter, the
thermometer standing at 10 deg. The
lowest it had been before was % deg. A
hard north wind blew up last night and
is still continuing, although moderating
somewhat. The weather is very fine
overhead and the general opinion is that
this freeze will be a blessing to the wheat
crop. The season has been so mild that
volunteer oats are heading out. Peaches
are in bloom and great fears are enter
tanned that the fruit crop will be killed.
There is an effort being made to estab-
lish q national bank at this place.
Nearly half the amount of stock is
already promised. A bank is something
badly needed here.
Our town is full of strangers who are
prospecting. There are parties here
from Florida and California who have
about decided to invest some of their
surplus capital here New houses, both
business and residence, are continually
going up and still there is not an empty
house to be had.
Cotton still continues to come in and
is being sold at good prices. There

A PETITION

A Comprehensive system of Free Education
Suggested by the Burleson County
Alliance.
Caldwell News.


PETITION TO THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE
To the Senate aud House of Representatives:
GENTLEMEN-W the undersigned CIT
liens of Burleson county, Texas, re-
spectfully ask that you frame bill, dis
cuss, and if in your opinion you think it
practical, pass a law embracing the fol-
lowing features:
l. That the state be divided into thir-
ty-one agricultural districts, with the
same limits as the senatorial districts.
.. That you make an appropriation of
$40 900 for each district or such sum as

establishing and maintaining an agricul-
tural academy in each district.
3. Provided each district shall be re-

BILE.
4. That the lands, buildings, stock and

ACADEMY.
Mr.. E. B. Warren has framed and OBJ
tanned signers to a petition which he in
tends to ask our able representative, Mr..
Renick, to present to the legislature. He
claims that he is only voicing the wishes
of thousands of ambitious young men who
are utterly and hopelessly unable to at
tend the college or city high schools. 1t
Is evident that our three months free
school is inadequate, and the gap be-
tween it and the college is too wide for the
average youth, thrown on his oWnlre-
sources, to ever leap.
Give us the academy by all means, and
thereby place within easy reach of every
brainy, ambitious farmer boy the means
of preparing himself for the great battle
of life. Scientific farming has become a
necessity. We might say the financial
salvation of the individual will in a few
years depend upon his knowledge and
skill.
While the college is all right in its place
it viii take it 100 years to reach the great
mass of boys that are now passing into
manhood, becoming citizens with all this
implies, and possessing scarcely the rudi-
ments of a common English education.
The female department is a new idea, but
it is certainly a good one. There were
24S marriages in Burleson county in 1888
What per centage of those girls who took
upon themselves the vast responsibilities
of being queens of homes that can wear
the crown with ease? How many of them
that can cut and make their own clothing,
make cheese, can fruit, cook a palatable
dinner, paint beautiful pictures for the
walls and if need be, should we go to war,
take her seat at the loom and weave the
clothing for herself and family? How
many of these young men out of the 24S
that had homes of their own, with good
handsome cottages, well furnished rooms,
a full larder, well filed, choice library
for himself and wife TO read to each other
to break the monotony and cultivate their
minds and hearts? How many of them
were out of debt and had bank account
on the right side of the ledger?
Suppose the law required an affirmative
answer to all these questions and that the
parties were of sound minds and bodies
before the license should issue? How
much would the county clerk have lost
by failure to grant the permits?
Whose fault els it that pools, trusts,
combinations of capital and foreign mo-
'nopoly rules this free country? Why do
they dominate every department of gov
eminent, city, state and national, and
hold with an iron grip every avenue of
commerce? Is it because money is strong
''peT se?'' Or rather is 1t not because it
is handled with consummate, trained,
educated slzill2
Mr.. Warren confidently expects the
hearty support of the agricultural and
progressive press of the state. He asks
that the Southern Mercury, South West,
Rockdale Messenger and Farm and Ranch
reprint the petition with such suggestion
as they may see fit to make. He believes
the schools can be made self sustaining,
and viii have a wonderful influence in
cultivating n love for farming, and check
that almost universal desire to flee to the
city.

DR.. j. A. S. Grant Bey, of Cairo, Egypt,
has spent twenty-five years in the land of the
Pharaohs and speaks all the languages of
that polyglot country. In order TO instruct
the native doctors, two years ago he started
an Arabic medical paper, which has met
with success. For years he has devoted his
time 70 the, study of archaeology, and has
amassed enough Egyptian gods, from Horus
and Osiris down, to nearly fill the Metropol-
ttan Museum of Art. The mummies of
Egypt, he said, were now dirt cheap, owing
10 recent discoveries. They sold from $40
TO $50 each, the price depending chiefly on
their state of preservation He brought
over mummified hawk as a curiosity and
presented it to the Smithsonian Institution
Scientists, who formerly paid high prices for
hne, first class mummies, of late years. the
doctor said, purchased very few. The cheap
mummieS were bought principally by the
agents for museums. New York Com

There's something in a Name.

When one of the finest lake barges OF the
build of a few years ago was about % be
launched, one of her owners was told that the
boat would be christeued the Megalosauras.
He protested against the name, basina his
objections on the well known tendency of
sailors to shorten such long appellations.
His reasoning prevailed.
Senator Palmer being of the Marty TINT
discussed vessel nomenclature on this occa-
sion, was asked by Capt Westcott to suggest
& short, expressive name for a new craft Il
viii, said he, 'call her the Bum
This short, expressive appellatiOn induced
the reflection that the Morse or Finnish
legends contained names suitable for lake
craft, and there was instanced the poem
Kalevala, dealing with the mythology of the
Firms. In their earlier days on the shores of
the Baltic, that people believed that there
was race of demigods who ruled objects in
nature. There was Tapio, who ruled the
forest; Anti, the lakes and rivers; Tuonf, the
realms Of death. There were a suficiency of

It is not in human nature to be just and
humane when robbed of its due experience Of
Hfes fundamental conditions Whatever
narrOys mans experience uarruvs bis sym
pathieS, and whatever Coufcvs ON him ire
5ponsihle power tempts him to abuse it.
Now, riches DO both these things Whatever
exceptional experience they may provide,
they certainly Withdraw their owners from
much that must always enter into tho life of
the large majority of human kind. These
uust always auXiously labor and bc content
with moderate means. Between life c0udi-
toned in this way and life free from Labor
and anxiety there is fixed a gulf which sym
pathy could hardly cross, even if it would,
for il is chained on the one side by pride and
on the other by envy.
Sometimes, indeed, if a man has risen to
riches 10y his own efforts, he may so far re-
member his life Of poverty as 20 retain a Ger
tain sympathy for those whom be has left
behind him in it; but this is rare, for three
reasons: First. Men caring enough for riches
20 be willing 10 devote much time 20 the ac-
luisitiOn of them are usually of "a somewhat
low, material and uusympathetic nature.
Second In their ascent TO riches, after the
first few steps, they have TO use other men as
stepping stones, for no man, unless ne have
monopoly talent like Raphael, can rise {,
riches otherwise. Nearly all great fortunes
are made up of profits caught in labor traps.
Such using Of other men solely as means
lends 10 forgetfulness that they are ends,
hardens the heart and destroys sympathy.
Third. Men who have made their own for
tunes-self made men, as they are wisely
called have usually great deal Of respect
Tor their maker, and a pEopOrtionate con
tempt for those who, having less cunning
than themselves, have remained ina the ranks
Of poverty Thus it frequently happens THAI
self made men arc among the least humane
Of aristocrats. And the case Is even worse
with their children and with all persons born
90 wealth These lack altogether the expert
ence that would enable them TO sympathize
with the ordinary, natural human life OF
labor and narrow means. Raised above it,
they cannot comprehend it.-Protessor

Ailments of Nervous Subjects.

Some affect TO believe that nervous sub
jects feign their ailments for the purpose OF
attracting attention and sympathy. 1t !,
quite true they frequently exaggerute their
sutferiugS, but that is no excuse for DENYING
their existence. Besides, 10 is natural to ex.
aggerate grievance so long as It remains
unrecognized. Others admit the reality ct
the diseased sensations, but maintain that
the only w o abolish them is by means of
reason. T. r. hold that nervous persons
ought to be ught to control their nerves by
their reason, and they insist that plain
speaking i he strongest aid to recovery.
Their experience seems to corroborate this
opinion. The sufferers cease to complain Ia
them, so they fancy that their plain speak
ing has effected cure. This fancy is, how
ever, very far from the fact, which is that
the patients have transferred their com
plants to a more sympathetic ear.-Nine-
