SAN MARCOS CHAUTAUQUA.
One of the Most Delightfully."- Situated Spots
i'm Texas.

One of the Most Delightfully."- Situated Spots
in Texas.
The San Marcos Chautauqua (the
original Chautauqua) is located at the
junction of the International and
Great Northern and the Taylor, Bas-
trop and Houston railroads, in the
northern outskirts of the town of San
Marcos on Lamar Hill, near the head
and lake of the far famed San Marcos
river, whose waters are as pure and
transparent as the light, revealing in
their limpid depths carpet of richest
verdure and vast forests of aquatic
growths, tinted with all the colors of
the rainbow, presenting kaleidoscope
view, matchless in beauty and indie
scribable in marvellous scenic effect.
This charmed spot is surrounded by
a landscape of mountain, hill and
vale, forest and field, bestudded with
rural and suburban cottage and villa,
nestled in vale, nook and on promi-
nence, presenting landscape incom-
parable in beauty.
San Marcos is renowned throughout
America for its salubrious and health
giving climate, and populated by a
thrifty, enterprising and intelligent
people.
Already over fifty encampments
have been engaged for the session of
1890, by written contract, embracing
people from all parts of Texas, and
some from other states, and many are
arranging to build permanent cottages
upon the grounds.
A Sunday school normal, a teach
er's normal, the G. L. S. c., and
schools of science, music and art have
been arranged for the next session,
and several prominent gentlemen have
been added to the literary directory,
which as formerly, will be headed by
the Rev. H. M. DuBose, of Los Angeles,
Cal, as superintendent of instruction.
For information, address San Marcos
Chautauqua, San Marcos, Texas.

The Wheat Yield.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, August l6-The mar
ket records kilograms from various points,
covering the entire northwest shows yield
of wheat much above expectations of the
whole. Not one reported single unfavora-
BILE condition. At Huron, OAK, where
three to eight bushels was predicted thresh-
in Grand Forks county wheat is yielding,
where threshed, an average of twenty BUSH
els, and that is claimed for an average of
the county. Bismarck, Jamestown and
Fargo in north Dakota, also say the yield
is above expections. Harvesting, stacking
and threshing are going forward in all parts
. of the northwest, under the most favorable
weather and general conditions.

Manual Education.

The manual work, like the work in
science and literature, is simply a
means of development. 1t bears the
same relation to the process of educa-
ton that railway train does to travel.
One may select slower modes of an
proach if he choose, but, in his delight
at the rapid transit, he must not con-
fuse the journey with the end for
which the journey is made. Those
who hold this view of manual training,
watch with sincere regret any en-
croachment of that spirit which places
the inanimate product, however in
genious and beautiful it may be, above
the human product. The object of
manual training, they believe, is the
production of thoughtful, self-reliant,
honest men.

YOUNGSTOWN, Pa, August 16.-Quite a
number of people who lost by flood and
shortly afterward left the town have not

Aftersthe execution, the county sold the
lumber of the scaffold to David H. Cock
rell, carpenter, who built porch of it on
the property of Mr.. Sheets in 1850 The
porch stood until two years ago, when the
property was bought by John NJ Coyle,

SAN FRANCISCO GOSSIP.
SAN Francisco. August 16.-The Terry
tragedy continues to dwarf all news in the
popular mind in this city and throughout
California. Public interest in the affair
has been increased by the action of the dis
trict attorney of San Joaquin county in is
suing warrant for the arrest OF Justice
Field on the complaint of Mrs. Sarah AL
thea Terry and the legal conflict that
threatens to grow out OF the demand:
The warrant directs Sheriff Cunningham, OF
San Joaquin county, TO take Justice Field to
Stockton, the former homeof Judge Terry,
in which city Deputy Nagle is at present
under arrest The sheriff arrived here last
night and Is expected to make arrest at |
O'Clock this afternoon, 1t being necessary
to have the writ approved by the judge of
San Francisco county. The matter was
called to the attention of Judge Rix this
forenoon, who declined to endorse it with
out first having an opportunity to consider
the facts and said he might take the case
up this afternoon. In the event he
approves the warrant it is understood
that as soon as arrest has been formally
made writ of habeas corpus will be sued
outin the United States circuit court.
This course has been decided upon by the
counsel of Justice Field and to determine
at once the authority of the Federal court

THE STATE SUPREME COURT.

was made by Attorney Crittendon to- the
supreme court to adjourn to-day as mark

the motion. After remarking that he was
sorry the motion had been urged, he add
ed: 1T is very unpleasant affair but the
court has fully considered the same and
deems it the wisest course to treat the
subject in silence. The sudden death of
David s. Terry is notorious and it is the
decision Of this court that it take no fur
Sher action in the matter"

papers. Strangers who contemplate
coming to Texas are influenced more
or less, in selecting location by the
appearance of the newspapers. The
latter tell the tale. If they are filled
with advertisements fresh and crisp,
and artistically arranged, the stranger
magines thatEthe place where they
are published is inhabited by live,
energetic and progressive people who
are determined to succeed, and is
favorably impressed. No one would
suppose that the citizens of Austin
were of that class, by looking at the
advertising columns of THE STATES

The Spirit Of Training.

1t is believed that the specific pur-
pose of education is to cultivate char
acter, to induce sound thinking and to
make a necessity of scientific inquiry.
Its highest end is ethical. OF great
value, but secondary to its supreme
purpose, are the skill and the infor-
nation which would be the natural
result of such cultivation. The aim of
the school is to prepare for complete
ness of life.

Coleman Voice: The commission
ers' court of Coleman county is making
every effort to give every precinct and
community in the county good roads.
If all are not perfectly satisfied it will
be the peoples lookout not the COM

hear complaint against the court we
will set it down to malice.

Onr American Plan.

A failure to maintain the public
schools by the government for all the
people promotes class interests, makes
vicious teaching possible, endangers
school facilities and methods.
The public school is the logical and
necessary sequence of our American
plan, an essential complement OF
other American institutions, a requisite
pillar in the full government temple.
This has been the deliberate conclu-
sion of the people as declared by
words and manifested by spirit and
purpose.

THE HONOLULU CoNsCLsHIP.
WASHINGTON, August 16.--It was officially
stated at the state department that the de.
partment had no information in regard to
the report published that the Hawaiian
government was not satisfied with the. ap.
pointmont of Mr.. Severance as United
States consul at Honolulu 1t was ac-
knowledged that Severance was at one
time consul at San Francisco for Hawaii
and was dismissed, but it was generally
understood that this was on account of o
political difference of opinion between him
and the party in power, rather than to any
personal fault.

WASHINGTON, August 16.-The president
and Private Secretary Halford arrived at

PENSION COMMISSIONER TANNER.
WASHINGTON, August 16.-The attention
of Pension Commissioner Tanner was to-
day called to the published interview in
Chicago with Assistant Secretary Busscy,
in which he is represented as speaking of
of Secretary Mobiles relations with the com.
missioner. Mr.. Tanner said:
Assuming that Gen. Bussey was re-
ported correctly, object most decidedly to
his creating the impression that there are
any personal differences between Secretary
Noble and myself Mr.. Noble is one of the
most loyable of men--a man of broad views
and while there may be some official diff
ferenoes between us, these differences are
not of personal character. Any state
mient tending to create any other Impress
ion is untrue"
