Late Hours.

AUClISOn UIODe.
After man stays up late at q party
he will not admit the next day that
he is tired. But If he sits up with any
one who is sick he bowls for q week
afterward about how played out he is.
We imagine, from the looks of the
women who are in society, that it
must be great deal easier to stay at
home and scrub than it is to wear
tight dresses to afternoon teas, and
say polite things and laugh at foolish
jokes. A man who Is rough and
awkward at everything else will show
a delicacy and skill greater than any
woman's when he has to patch torn
$40 bill.

SWAPPING lies appears to be the
chief employmento of the average press
correspondent in this particular juno
ture in the history of sensational
journalism, and there is no doubt the
work is most scientifically per-
formed. The scoop" lays over the
truth every time and pays a thousand
fold better. 1t is not IN the power OF
the press to prevent this, but the
reading public can do it.

THE report that the Americans had
a finger in the Panama scandal is
without notification. That corruption
fund was expended in securing legis-

The Galveston News calls for
something stronger in the way of pre-
ventive law. The only effective pre-
venttve of crime is the law that is
written in the heart and conscience of
the individual, but that law will not
grow in effectiveness so long as the
churches teach the doctrine of human
responsibility, alleging that man
can run up bill with the devil all
his life time and then cheat him out
of it when it comes paying time. The
absolute responsibility Of the indivi.
dual for all that he does and the con-
sequences of his acts are the things
to be taught and emphasized.

A Dastardly Act.

1t seems strange to record in a sec
ton of country like ours anything so
diabolical as happened Sunday night
to an aged couple, Mr.. and Mrs. C. C.
NeWcomb, residing four or FIVE miles
east OF the the town at what in former
years was known as 'Sportsman's Re-
treat, near the iron bridge. They are
both probably 20 or more wears of aye
and for this reason if for no other
were entitled by all rules of humanity
to respectful treatment even if there
had been cause for offense. Tbev
state that after they had gone to bed.
on towards ten o'clock a rapping was
heard at the door. On callin: out to
know who was there, received in an
swer, John COnnard, giving the name
OF a neighbOrl and saying to them to
get up, that the front of their house
was on fire. They of course hurried
down, Mrs. NewcOmb foot or two in
the lead. The door was hurriedlv
opened, when the man deliberately
raised a pistol and fired, the ball which
was from % caliber pistol, striking
Mrs. NewCOmb on the forhead over
the eye. Mr., NewcOmb was, when
VIZ piSOOi Who Nds uTeu, At lef SIDE
but little in the rear, and it is certain
that the object was to kill him. At
the discharge of the fre-arm, the man
disappeared in the darkness, and no
more was seen or heard of him. These
two old people to be there alone all
night under such circumstance can be
better imagined than described. They
got through the night as hest thew
could. Mrs. Ms suffering being mainly
from the nervous shock, which, how
ever she stood with great fortitude.
The next morning she showed signs or
sickness, and DIR. Clifton was sent for
who etherized her, dressed the wound
and searched for the bullet, but with.
out success. 1t is thOughtit rebounded
and was thus lost. Later in the day
DIR. Ashcraft visited her and found her
doing well.
Mrs. NewcOmb describes the man as
about the height of her husband, spoke
with broken voice, somewhat, and
thinks she would know him if she saw
him again. Mr.. EewOqmb it is stated,
thinks he knows who the man was.
There is unusual indignation in the
Oammuplty over the act. II was not
thought that such q wicked, gowardly
wretch lived within a hundred miles
of US, and they think that no effort
should be spared to hunt him out, and
bring him to justice.

Death of Miss Maie Annletnn

A large number of friends from the
vicinity as we'll as from a distance. met
at the residence of Henry II. Apple
ton near Odessa, yesterday afternoon,
to pay the last tribute of respect to his
daughter, Miss MAZE Appleton, who
died on the 25th, aged % years. She
was frequent visitor to this town,
where she had number of relatives
and friends who feel the same sense of
loss as do those of her immediate vicin-
ity. Hers had been life different
from that allotted to the general period
of youth as they advance from child
hood to maturity. She had the same
aspirations and more of the usual vi
vaciousness and brightness of percep-
tions, but after her eleventh wear. a
shadow that blighted life's prospects
fell across her pathway, nor was it
ever removed, though at times the
veil may have been lifted to give a
glimpse of youths brighter and han.
pier views. For twelve years she had
carried with her in weakness and in
great pain, the result of the terrible
dispensatiOn left on her frame bv rheu-
matism and heart trouble.
But severe as was the effect on her
system and the capacity for the pbvsi.
Cal enjoyment so relished by her asso.
clates, her spirit remained bright and
serene and cheerful through il ali As
the violet, when it is crushed sands
OUT a sweeter perfume, so affliction
seemed to chasten and brighten and
sweeten her life. Ii there was a dark
SIDE 1t was not turned to the vision of
others: she saw in friends as she saw
IN things about her las she doubtless
saw IN things above, walking in the
light of the divine), only that which
was good and cOmely.
From all sides came this testimonv
and hence the desire to pay last res ;
pect to one who had conveyed lessons
OF cheertulness and happiness To so
many who had enjoyed life in its fuller
amplitudes. ''' 'Oi'o'

THAT was a brilliant idea which
came to the new secretary of the State
Fair, John B. Wharton, and that came
to him like most supreme ideas do-in
communing with his own thoughtswhile
lying abed-in getting business men to
offer special premiums for exhibits.
The idea took so amazingly and readily
that in a weeks canvass, he secured
nearly 100 of these, ranging from Sc. 90
to $4,000, embracing most every con-
ceivable object of production. 1t was
a grand idea, as it at once elicits
the attention of two interested parties.
and thus embraces every busines man
as we'll as agriculturist in every COM
munity. The successful exhibitors
will get in addition the usual award
offered by the Association. Thedate for
the Fair is fixed for the dates-Sep-
tember 10Th to the oath.
