his Symuathic Nature and His Early Mis-

Those who saw much of Abraham Lin

were greatly impressed with the express

Mr.. Lincoln was of a peculiarly SYM
pathic and kindly nature. These strong
characteristics Influenced, very happily,
as it proved, his entire political career.
They would not seem at first glance to be
efficient aids to political success, but IN
the peculiar emergency which Lincoln, in
the providence of God. was called to
meet, no vessel of common clay could
possibly have become fthe chosen OF the
Lord. -

A SHOOTING NEAR STARRVILLE

The shooist Surrenders and Claims Self De-
Tense Weathersby's Trial at Tyler.
Special TO the Gazette.
TYLER, TEX, OCT. 9.-This morning
Thomas P. Kinnear, who lives near
Starrville, this county, and who was well
known to many of our people, came into
the city and, finding Sheriff Marsh, told
him he had shot Jas. P. Shelton the
evening before IN q gin near his home.
Mr.. Kinnear gives in substance the fol-
lowing statement, which is given without
comment:
About two years ago Shelton was q
tenant on one of Kinnear's places, and :,
while living there the two men had q
falling out and Shelton moved off the
farm. Since then the men had not been
on good terms aud Shelton had
several times talked about Kinnear.
Yesterday they met at the gin where the
shooting took place. As Kmnear en-
tered, he says Shelton made at him. In
self-defense, he leveled his gun on him
and fired, the first ball taking effect.
1t is thought that Shelton s wounds are
mortal. So far no papers have been
served OH Kinnear. Both men are well
known in the city, and the trouble is
matter of general regret.
The trial OF e. R. Weathersby for the
murder of Alex Pope goes on with IN
abated interest. All day the courtroom
has been packed, and all spectators have
listened to the evidence given in by the
several witnesses with close attention.
There is the very best of legal talent en-
ployed on both sides, and the trial will
be celebrated one. The attorneys for
the prosecution are District Attorney
Stafford of Mineola, Col. R. C. DeGraf-
enried of Longview, Wilson s. Lane of
Marshall, John NJ. Duncan of Tyler, W.
r. Camp and W. T. Armstead of Jeffsr-
son, Judge w. P. MCLEAN of Mount
Pleasant, Horace Chiffon of Tyler and
T. s. Scott of Marshall represent the de-
Tense. Before noon all the states wit
nesses had been heard, and this after
noon has been taken up with witnesses
for defendants.

about the desired result. We know this
to be true, for we have tried it.
"The citizens of Wichita Fails decided
that they wanted farmers to locate in
and develop the country. The money
was put up and the emigration associa-
ton employed me to represent tue county
and to do the work. -
"Ho much money will your associa-
ton spend this year?" was asked.
'About SS000,' replied Mr.. Howard :,
"and 1 get $4,000 of the amount for my
services. Our people are well satisfied
with the results. During the Spring
Palace last year over $50 900 were in
vested in our town by people who were
induced TO come to our county by seeing
our exhibit at the Palace. We had an
exhibit at the Dallas fair last fall, and it
was the means of securing n great many
good people and large amount of capt.
tai for Wichita county that we would not
have secured If We had stayed at home
and waited for the people to come. I am
satisfied that our exhibit at the Dallas
fair last fall brought 10 our county 500, -
900 and not less than 1000 farmers and
business men. Our trip here will bring
US people and capital. What Wichita
county has done other counties can do,
if they will. More work and mopey and
less talk will do the business.
81 regret very much not to see more
counties represented here. We Of North
Texas are used to lively competition and
feel lonesome without it, You are right;
if San Antonio and Southwest Texas were
organized for immigration work and
would take samples of your products TO
the people North and East, together with
first-class printed matter and your home
paper you would succeed in securing a
large increase in population and capital.
l will add that for San Antonio the work
should be done out of and not In Texas.
With US it Is different. Our land and
town property is still cheap, and we draw
heavily from the old counties in the
state.
The liberal hearted people having the
Wichita county exhibit in charge have
donated it for the benefit of the Pro-
testant orphans home. The law of this
mighty land prohibits the Express from
stating how the exhibit is to be disposed
of, but visitors to the main hall can
readily ascertain by inquiry.
Wichita county has also been awarded
first premium for wheat, oats and flour.
If there is anything else John Howard,
wants he will please ask for it. II

ALL EYES ON GOVERNOR STEELE.
Special to the Gazette.
GUTHRIE, o. T., Oct. 9.-The api-
tai question is now in the hands of the
governor, and many bets as to his action
are in the hands of the speculatively in
clined. The now noted council bill No.
Z, known as the bill establishing ths seat
of territorial government at Oklahoma
City, having been in some mysterious
manner passed by both houses of the
legislative assemblies and duly signed by
the speaker pro tenn of the house aud the
president of the council, was delivered
to the governor for his action at $3.50
o'clock this morning. Speculstions as
terest is being manifested pro and con as
to the final outcome.
A representative of the press waited on
Governor Steele to-day and tried TO as
certain the state of the case, but could
only turn away with the belief that the
destiny of the two leading towns in the
Territory was in the balance. Said his
excellency: 81 have not yet acted upon
the bill, for the reason thai the friends
and enemies of the bill have each asked
me for an impartial hearing, and pro-
pose to do them the justice Of according
to them that right. -
The friends of the respective towns feel
jubilant, or their power of affectation is
complete. The Republicans say the
governor cannot approve the bill, as that
would kill the party, while the veto
would have the opposite effect. The
friends of Oklahoma City assert that
there are no valid reasons outside of
political ones why he should veto it, and
that as governor of the whole territory
he cannot afford to put up party preser-
walton against the voice of the people,
as expressed by the action of their legis-
laIive representatives. So il can readily
be seen that he is now between the devil
and the deep sea. Guthrie is still hope
full, so so is Oklahoma City.
Speaker Daniels has not yet returned
from his "junketing tour, but it is
understood he will be on the scene to-
morrow morning. There is strong talk,
with iustifiable grounds for belief, that
proceedings of impeachment will be in
stituted against him for malfeasance in
office. In case he does not return the
prostrations to which he has so fire.
quently been a victim will again be in
order. His heretofore hest friends were
hopeful he would not return, but that
his disgrace would have the effect to
produce shame and flight to realms
where he would be unknown.

Paste for Scrap Books.

Take equal parts of gum arabic and gum
tragacanth and dissolve with enough
warm water so that it will be like thick
gloss starch. If on trial you find the paste
too thick to spread nicely with a small
brush, thin with more warm water, stirring
until it is smooth again. A small amount
Of gum makes a lot Of paste Keep in a
large mouthed bottle that can be covered
tightly and it will keep for months; yes, a
year or more.
If it dries down hard or thick soak it up
with more warm water. A bottle of this
stuff is very handy during fruit season for
FASTING labels on fruit cans or jars.
In making scrap books the slips of paper
or pictures should be arranged on the page
before commencing to paste any, as they
will stick so quickly and so tightly that it
Is not easy to make changes.

DR.. Ris, of Kloten, emphatically recon-
mends pea soup as most serviceable sub
stitute for beef tea in the case Of invalids,
convalescents, and more especially for pa
tients suffering from cancer of the stomach,
or diabetes mellitus. The method he adj
vises Isl Take peas, water and sufficient
amount Of some soup vegetables, add a
per cent. of carbonate of soda, boiling the
whole until the peas are completely disin-
tegrated, the soup to stand until sedimen-
tation is complete, and finally decant the
fairly clear, thin fluid above the deposit
The product is stated to resemble good
meat soup in its taste, to be at least equal
ly digestible, and at the same time to sur
pass the very best meat soup in nutritve
value. In regard to the latter claim DR.,
Ris states in explanation that peas as well
as beans or lentils, either of which may be
used instead Of peas, contain a considera-

The value Of beautiful manner is a
topic of never ending charm, just as the
beautiful manner itself is in life. A lovely
character expresses itself in no more de-
lightful way. One who Is always thought
full of others in a self forgetting way, who
has kindness and calm, has invariably a
charm of manner which is helpful and in
spring to ali who see it. A lady came to
Boston on an important errand while
ago. She had three men to see for sigma
lures in a matter of artistic Importance
She gave herself two days to see them, but
she went about her business with so much
of quiet directness that, although they
were strangers whom she must see, the
matter was attended to, she was ready to
leave Boston and found herself with time
upon her hands, all within twenty-four
hours. "That woman ought to achieve
what she tries to do" said one of the men
whose signature was put to the valuable
paper. "She did not stay in my office three
minutes, yet she didn't fuss or hurry. She
has lovely calm. boston Transcript.
