Yesterday brought repetition Of the tri-

itary band has achieved under the conductor
ship of Professor Hecker ever since its first an
pearance at the Texas Spring Pais5e. The pro-
grammes which went to make up the afternoon
and evening concerts were Of the usual high
degree Of merit and as on all previous DAYS
thousands of visitors listened in attitude
OF charmed attention to catch the every note
from this maryeious aggregation OF musical
talent.
It must have been after . ssAnce with such
musical combination as that the immortal bard
of Avon wrote that familiar sentence that music
hath charms to soothe the savage breast, for it is
during one Of these Hecker concerts with the
Elgin band that one realizes thst he that hath

VISITORS PLEASED.

Great Educator is the Texas Spring Pal
ace, They Say.
Ex-Mayor James R. Tolbert and Capt. D. A.
Turner, president of the ice. light and water
company of Vernon, among others, are in the
city, in response to President Paddock's invita-
tion to their board of trade to send delegates to
meet our distinguished visitors from the North
and East.
These gentlemen expressed themselves as be-
ing delighted with the Spring Palace and the
hospitality and kind treatment received from
the people OF Fort Worth.
They visited the chamber of commerce and
were highly pleased with the courtesy shown
them by its secretary, Mr.. e. S. Biden.
Mr.. TolbeIt thought that another phase of the
Spring Palace, besides that of advertising the
could be brought out with advantage to all con-
cerned, and that is the educational side of the
exhibition. He thought that there was no school
book for children like the best one
they can find wide open and speaking to them
of Texas inside the Palace gates. It Is an idea
that the schools from far and near could easily
take advantage of and one whose value could
not be over estimated. 1t is an educator that is
fast driving the idea from older heads that the
state consists Of vast deserts, Mr.,
Tolbert and Mr.. Turner both EXPIRE ssed

were not enyious of their neighbors, Their

of any such feeling. Both these gentlemen
have returned home, but they leave Mr.. a. 7.

Major Robert Cobb Of Wichita Falls received
the medal and made happy and most appro-
pirate speech of great elequence and brillisncE
pie on the occasion of the prese NATION. The
medal, he said, symbolizes the three great won-
in 1--WE years, the Spring Palace OF Texas, and
the growth Of Fort Worth, these three being
linked together as were the sections of the
medal. He referred handsomely to the part
Fort Worth has played in the development of
his section and OF the northwest portion OF the
state generally.
When he concluded he was loudly cheered by
all who heard him.
The honorable m ention TO which Van Zandt
county was entitled to for her general exhibit at
the Spring Palace, WAS then made by President
paddock in most appropriate and eloquent
sentences, He was complimentary to all the
counties that had aided in making the
Spring Palace the grand success which it has

on the historical record Of the free state

loudly cheered upon the conclusion OF his re-
marks and received he ardent congratulations
OF hosts of friends who listened to his eloquent
remarks.

The valley of the Pecos river was late in COM
ing to the scratch at the great Texas Karporama,
but Reeves county has at last come in, and she
makes fne showing with what she has. DR..
J. J. Inge OF Pecos City is in
charge, and having something worthy OF In
spection he is proud to expatiate upon the ex-
hibit which his county has placed at the Palace.
The display comprises samples of rye, oats
wheat, barley and alfalfa AL of this years. CROP
and the showing is marvellous considering the
time of year. The alfalfa. which looks fresh
and green in @ compact bale, was cut on May
and made 3 ton ana half to the acre.
The same fields will produce four more
crops this year. The wheat shown is on the
stalk and in sacks. The crop from which these
samples are taken made sixty bushels to the
acre; the oats made eighty bushels per acre; the
rye and barley averaged shout thirty bushela
DR., Inge says the reason that his section is
not represented with q more elaborate
exhibit Is that his people did not
conclude to make an exhibit of
any kind until ct the last moment, but that il
they had started earlier they might have shown
8 greater variety Of products than any section of
It's size in the country. The doctor says that

medal get away from them. They will be pre-
pared for it, and if they produce much more
than what they have on exhibit this year they

While he did not expect that the popular

suit Judge Tuley however.
The chancellor said: "I cannot too
strongly denounce this practice of the DO
