ate limits of the town, within a stone s
throw OF where the building stands.
Viewing this palatisl structure,
stranger would guess that it cost no; less
than $50 900, while, as a truth, on ac-
count of the quantity, convenience, and
hence cheapness of this stone, the actual
cost was only S45 500. The building is
three full stories high, l27 feet to top of
dome. It is a grand and imposing struc-
ture, considered the finest and most COM
plete county courthouse in the state. 1t
is a model of mechanical skill aud mod
ern architecture, and would grace q
metropolis of 100 200 souls. 1t is located
in the center the public square, and was
erected in 1884.
On account of the approach of the rail-
road to Seymour, property there Is
rapidly changing hands and enhancing in
value. Within the three months over
COCO deeds have been filed for record in
Baylor county, representing over $780,
600, the greatest number of which were
for property in the town of Seymour.
Seymour has two banks-capital stock
500 900; no saloons, being a prohibition
town; three hotels; two churches COM
pleted and two under contract; three
doctors; twelve lawyers and men of
different occupations, trades and pro-
LESSONS in proportion. Besides the bus
mess houses mentioned there are between
thirty-five and forty others, ranging
from small dealers who carry special
lines to large general supply stores.
There are also about forty stone build
ings under contract, and about twenty of
them are being constructed. Among
this number is the McLain hotel, by
stock company. 1t will have frontage of
seventy FIVE feet, depth of 125 feet and
is four stories with tower five stories,
eighty-six feet high. The Wa hing
ton hotel, fronting fifty-five feet, with a
depth of 100 feet; the First National
bank, fifty by 100 feet, and number of
others, which our space will not permit
US to mention in detail.
The opening is splendid at Seymour
for mills and manufactures of every
description, and especially for an ele-
vator, canning factory, (for Baylor
is also a fine fruit county, aud a
wooden mill. The town has recently
organized board of trade, and COM
panies for two lines of street railway.
Campbell said that "men high minded
men, constitute a state,' and this
type of men constitute also the county
and the town. This type of men they
have at Seymour and in Baylor county,
and there is room for many more.
With these and all the untold natural
advantages and rich undeveloped re-
sources Baylor county and Seymour are
determined to reach exalted heights in
the scale of greatness. s

WACO.
Mrs. Pendleton-William Beasley
Taken to Dallas.

Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, June 16.-The last trib-
ute of respect was paid to the venerable
consort of Mr.. j. C. Pendleton at the
First street cemetery to-day. The death
of Mrs. Pendleton recalls exciting Incl
dents in Texas history. She was living
in Lynvllle, Victoria county, in 1910
when the Indians burned that village.
Her first husband, Cornelius Lane, was
living at that time, and they had two
little children. The Indians made the
attack about sunrise while the family
were at breakfast, and it was only
by prompt and hasty flight that she and
her husband were enabled to make their
escape with their little ones. They
reached the shores of the bay, however,
and launching a fiat boat as did many
other inhabitants of the town they rowed
out OF danger and anchored, remaining
in the hot sun all day in plain view of
their burning houses. As is we'll known
there was not vestige of the town left.
and the inhabitants, deprived of shelter,
scattered to other portions of the state
Mr.. Lane died few years after, and
Mrs. Lane became the wife of Mr.. J c.
Pendleton, who is himself a Texas
veteran.
Deputy Sheriff c. II. Crush of Dallas
arrived this morning IN answer to a
telegram sent yesterday by Deputy
Sheriff Burke of this county stating that
William Beasley, alias Dennis O'Shea,
had been captured In this city. Beas-
ley is wanted in Dallas for assault with
intent to murder and to answRrs several
minor charges in the Dsl county

The Origin of the Diamond.

The origin of the diamond has been
a fruitful topic for speculation among
scientists; hence many contradictory
theories have been advanced aud ar,
gued with some show Of reason: but,
after all that mas been said and writ
ten upon the subject, we are still left
pretty much in the dark. Some Of the
theories are very ingenious and inter.
estslg. though the amount of truth
they cmbody remains to be proved.
Ii hes been suggested that the vapors
of carbon during the coal period may
have been condensed and c~rystallizcd
into the diamond, and again, the tia
columite, generally regarded as the
matrlX, was saturated with petroleum,
which, collecting in nodulcs, formed
the gem by gradual crystaIlization.
Newton believed it TO have been a
coagulated unctuous substance of
vegetable origin, and was sustained in
the theory by many eminent philoso-
pliers, including Sir ID. Brewster, who
believed the diamond was once "A mass
of gum. derived from certain species Of
wood, and that il subsequently as
sumcd a crystalline form. Dana and
Others advanced the opinion hat il
may have been produced by the slow
decomposition of vegetable material,
and even from animal matter. Burton
says il is younger than gold. and sug.
gests the possibility that it may still be
in process Of formation, with capacity
Of growth. Specimens of the diamond
have been found 20 inclose particles Of
gold, an evidence, he thinks, that its
formation was more recent than that
Of the precious metal.
The theory that the diamond was
formed Immediately from carbon by
the action Of heat is opposed by an.
other maintaining that it could not
have been produced in this way. other.
wise would have been consumed. But
the advocates of this view were not
quite on their guard against a surprise,
for some quick witted opponent has
found by experiments that the dia'
pond will sustain great heat without
combustion Invention.

The swifie,t Running Animal.

In "a recent number of The Sun | saw
a statement thatthe greyhound is prob
ably the swiftest quadruped. But there
is an animal on the Colorado plains
which is much swifter. Its the small
red prairie fox, commonly known as
''the swift" y good greyhound will
pull down two or three from a bunch
of antelopes, but the swift escapes
readily from him. In the chase the
fox will stop still and wait until the
hound is near him, and then easily
distance him, and repeat the same ma.
newer. II does not jump, like a
hound. but runs with n peculiar Gid.
ing motion. Its legs are Of medium
length. and muscular.
On one occasion one escaped from O
box trap. by the side Of which ! was
standing. Near me was a shepherd
dog. who was a good enough runner
TO pick mp a jack rabbit occasionally.
The dog jumped for the fox as the
latter came out Of the trap, yet at a
distance Of $50 feet the fox stopped
still and waited for the dog.
In regard to jack rabbits. they are
not So swift as generally supposed,
Their progress is by tremendous
Jumps. ! have measured twenty-foui
feet in the snow. in a straight line be
tween successive footprints, and the
animal was going up hill. too. But
in these flights they lose time, and

will readily overtake them.

Lightning Flashes.

Instantaneous photography has cor
rected many false notions which were
once held in regard to rapid movements.
The eye was deceived by the impressions
made upon it. Many readers are aware
that the movements of horses feet and
legs IN running and jumping were not
understood by artists until the exact pos
lures were caught by the camera.
No object has caused more discussion
on the question whether or not we can
trust the evidence of our senses, than
the flash Of lightning. In almost every
Instance and to almost every eye, the
bolt seems to descend in a zigzag course.
Artists always represent the flash under
the form of a broken line. The ancient
Greek artists showed the thunderbolt of
Jove as furnished with points, the shafts
of which were zigzag lines. This proves
that the human eye has given the same
testimony in regard to the matter for
thousands of years.
Now that instantaneous photography
shows that the discharge from the clouds,
Ike that from one side to the other of
Leyden jar, is in nearly straight line,
the problem is to account for the appear
ance which this line presents. One of
the most plausible explanations yet given
is by recent contributor to Nature.
The theory of this writer is that the
common streaming" flash, for example,
is seen by us projected upon rolling
masses Of cumulus clouds forminga back
ground against which the lightning is
seen. As most thunder-storms are made
up Of such clouds, background Of that
sort is not often wanting.
To test the theory, and to see il the
eye is capable of correcting its own
blunders, we should watch flash from
its start to the ground. Usually the
clouds are piled in loose flceces above,
and there the flash should appear zig
Jagged, while in its lower course, against
a background of rain, it should appear
crinkled. If only it could be seen against
a clear sky, its real path would at once
be discovered Youths Companion.
