cheerfully points to his record as
constable as the best evidence of
his fitness for the office, and upon
this record he is willing to go be
fore the people and abide their
decision.
HON. JOHN C. WEST.
This gentleman, as a candidate
for mayor, announced in Thurs
days issue of THE News. BY
some inadvertance notice of his
announcement did not appear that
day. Judge West has been iden-
tilted with Waco from it's early
village day S, and served as mayor
in 1875 and 1876, giving general
satisfaction and winning much
favor as an honest, energetic, con-
sciencious executive, Judge West
is man Of strong convictions and
has thorough knowledge of mu-
nicipal affairs. His record as al
derman of the Fourth ward shows
him to be possessed Of strong per-
ception, being always on the alert,
and guarding faithfully the inter
ests ofhis constituents. If elected
mayor, Judge West will prove
himself equal to every occasion
and the city's interests will be in
good hands.

Trouble.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-About a
week ago, Supervisor French of
Brooklyn, in a moment of absent

curing an interview with Daly,

OUR TEXAS PINE.
The New Furniture Made from this
Native Wood.

The opening on Wednesday at the
Waco Furniture Company opened the
eyes of great many business men to
the new industry inaugurated by this
great furniture company. The new
and elaborate work from Texas pine
was conspicuously displayed but it
was in direct contact with immense
guam titles Of the finest furniture from
all the great factories OF the north
consisting of all sorts of fine wood
used in furniture making. Visitors,
and they were very many, walked
through aisles near quarter mile
in length on each side of which the
most elaborate and beautiful furniture
was displayed and the new Texas
furniture was merely factor in open
comparison. But those new goods
from our native wood forced admira.
ton. Side by side with walnut,
cherry, maple, old 10th century oak
and long oak with the finest grains
and most beautiful polish the counters
and desks of the Provident Savings
office, forced the most hearty ap.
plause. Its great beauty is palpable
and the adaptation of Texas pine to
the manufacture of the most beautiful
furniture is unquestionable. In de.
monstrating this the Waco Furniture
Company deserves the thanks of the
entire state. 1t will not be long be-
fore furniture from Texas woods will
be fashionable not alone in Texas but
also in other parts of the country.
One great beauty about Texas curly
pine in addition to the beautiful grain
and high polish is it's warmth and life
and softness of color. 1t makes other
woods look dull and som5re when
placed side by side. 1t is the most
cheerful furniture in the world and
the grain is a study in its diversity.
In the large number of small square
panels in the counters of the Provi'
dent office furniture each one forms
picture in itself. The fantastic forms
assumed by the grain bankrupts the
imagination and one never tires OF the
sight. Those who have not yet seen
this beautiful furniture from native
wood should not neglect to see it.
The Waco furniture deserves great
praise in showing the way to a new
industry. This has been done only
by the expenditure of much money,
and by The exercise of pluck and per.
severance and by the use of the skill
of their workmen who are among the
best furniture makers in the trade.
The Waco Furniture OomE any carries
one of the largest and finest stocks Of
furniture in the state and by means OF
their immense Wholesale trade will be
able to introduce this new furniture to
the attention of the trade throughout
the state and that it will take like
wild fire is we'll assured and thus open
up a Lew source of wealth to Texas.

Captain T. A. Blair.

In this issue Of THE News ap-
pears the name of Capt. T. A.
Blair as candidate for the office
Of county attorney of McLennan
county. 1t is entirely unnecessary
for THE NEWS to offer any ex-
tended introduction of this gen
tleman to the voters of McLen-
nan county. His ability as a
criminal lawyer and his efficiency
as prosecutor is well known to
them. Captain Blair is an ener-
getic, conscientious worker in any
undertaking he may engage in,
and as his record in this county
heretofore shows is vigorous pros
ecutor, handling criminal business
with that decision and alacrity
that always characterizes the off
cial who knows no guide but pub
lie duty. Captain Blair offers his
services as county attorney for
the ensuing two years, and his
announcement will be greeted by
hundreds of voters with kind
wishes and a determination to
give him cordial support
Mr.. S. A. HOGAN.
The announcement of this pop
ular gentleman also appears in
this issue for the office Of county
attorney. Mr.. Hogan is one of
our stanch citizens, has been in
Waco eyer since it was a village
and is identified with the progress
of the Central city and the match
less growth of the county around
it. Mr.. Hogan has never asked
his people for an office
before and believes that his first
adventure in politics will prove a
successful one and that the Dem
ocrats of McLennan county will
respond in his favor. Mr.. Hogan
IS thoroughly qualified to fill the
Off e of county attorney, having
practiced law in Waco eight years
during which he has had a great
deal of experience in criminal
practice. II his fellow democrats
conclude to honor him he pledges
his entire time and abilities to
their service, promising to prove
himself a terror to the criminal
class.

sheriff to the people of McLennan
county. Beginning years ago as
deputy sheriff he steadily gained
in public favor as trusted peace
officer until four years ago he was
chosen as our sheriff, He has
filled the office creditably for two
terms and asks a reelection hap
py in the consolation that in all
the varied functions Of an office
like that Of sheriff he has been
ever true to the trust imposed in
him by the people and in every
instance has acted with bravery
and prompitude when called by
official duties. Dan Ford has
made good officer, there are few
better ones in the state.
w. L. BURKE FOR SHERIFF.
This gentleman offers in this
issue Of THE News as a candi-
date for sheriff. Mr.. Burke has
been Sheriff Ford's chief deputy
for two years and no better
officer ever served a subpoena
or spring hand-cuff than Will
Burke. Cool and collected at all
times, he is safe, sure and relia-
Bile. He has the instinct Of a nat
ural detective and after obtaining
a clew to a crime he never ceases
his ferreting until the perpetrator
is in his grasp. He is indefa.
tigable in his efforts to run
down criminal when he once
gets on his trail and as a general
thing he gets his man unless his
man quits the earth. Mr.. Burke
is attentive to his duties and can
find as many people in a day
when waiting upon the courts or
grand juries as any man living.
With these remarks THE News
turns Mr.. Burke over to the
tender, ercies Of a kind Provi-
dence and a critical people with
the confident assurance that if he
is elected sheriff, his conduct of
the office will bear out everything
we have said.
]. H, LOCKWOOD.
In the proper column will be
found the announcement Of the
candidacy Of Mr.. James H. Lock
wood for constable Of Precinct
No. 1. THE News takes unusual
pleasure in saying that no better
man could be found for the place.
Mr.. Lockwood is a young man of
interchangeable industry, Whatever
his hand finds to do is done with
all his might. In his work in off
cial business he has shown remark
able acumen and judgment and is
one of the most level-headed men
in the city. To this he adds
pleasing manners and kindliness
of disposition which has made him
a host of friends all over the coun-
try. He has the unlimited conf
dence of all who know him, and
no one voting for him for consta-
BILE Of Paecinct No. I will ever
have cause to regret his vote.
CONSTABLE DEE COOK.
The announcement of this gen
tleman for reelection to the office
of constable Of Precinct No. 1,
McLennan county, appears in the
proper place in this issue. Mr..
Cook has served one term, and
every day has increased his popu-
larlty among his friends. BY
close attention to business his
office has been kept in perfect or
der and official business in good
shape. Dee is a constant rustler
and never allows an opportunity
to pass when there are papers to
serve. Whether it be criminal or
civil business he is prompt in his
attention to it, and, while he is
positive and courteous in his
treatment of his prisoners he is
