cor. b. CAMERON who owns mills :
lumber yards and gram elevators
writes every bit as recklessly as he
talks. When he made that famous
speech in Waco, in which he said he mad
the "Panhandle full Of elevators oiled
with wheat that he could not ship ex-
cept ct an exhorbitant cost"'eyery ono
wag Inclined to regard it as figure OF
speech into which the colonel was be-
trayed by his own vivid imagination
and the enthusiasm incident 10 a stump
speech. But since the colonel made
the speech which will make the Texas
clan Cameron as famous as those of the
Grampian Hills, long after the colonel
shall have mingled with the
dust Of his numerous mills
lsaw and Aouring) and elevators,
he has written letter. 1t was an UNI
lucky moment when the colonel turned
letter writer. The epistle was i'm
dited to one Waller S. Baker. Some
OF THE GAzETTEs readers may have
heard Of him as the chief headsman in
charge OF ODonovan Rosa Hogg's
guillotine. THE GAZETTE has a type
written copy Of the aforesaid letter.
It's rich. Too rich, land too lengthy
to reproduce in full in these columns.
A few excerpts viii serve to show the
colonel to be as imaginative as letter
writer, as he has shown himself to be
original as a stump speaker.
Mr.. Cameron say in his letter.

Mr.. Cameron says in his letter.
The farmers were the first to call for a
commission in the state, and l commend
them Tor IT, Geo, Clark as well as myself

Steady, there, Cameron. You are run

to be the original commission man" and
Is entitled TO all the honor and glory Of
its inception and discovery. You must
not deny the statement Of the Texas
Herr Most. He will be telling you you
are too big for your breaches, as he did
the farmers. And you were opposed to
the commission, We're you? And how
much better and more truthful are you
than Geo ClarkS Your statements do
not justify You in claiming to be the
only "Truthiul James" in the country
Further Mr.. Cameron asks:
why should the people Of the town be
divided against the people OF tho country
No reason in the world for this, Mr..
Cameron--your ODonovan Rosa.

CHICAGO. Juno 23.-Residents OF Argyle
Park and West Edgewater had mar
row escape from death by asphyxation
during the tornado last night When the
storm was at its height the gas through
out that district suddenly went out and
as quickly began to flow through the
opcn Jets that had been left burning
by tho citizens when they retired for the night.
The prompt action OF citizens and police saved
many lives. and the sleepers were notified
OF their danger before serious conse-
auences resulted. To add to the danger
the rain that came down in torrents
necessitated closing tho windows and
the gas thus escaped was confined within the
houses. About o'clock James Vail OF Argyle
Park woke up to find the house filed with
escaping gas. He noticed that all OF the street
lamps were out. Not light was visible In the
town. He rushed across the street to his
neighbor. r. G. Tenant.
Here the smell of gas met him. and he woke
and they started to arouse the sleeping people.
the gas was found escaping: The police
patrol boxes refused to work. strange
feature Is that the same line Of pipes carries
the gas to Argyle Park ann West Edgewatcr as
supplies Buenn Park and Lnkeview: yet in the
latter district tho lights burned all night. Ex-
perts are entirely unable to account for the
sudden cut of Of the gas.
