Flower,

"For two years I suffered terribly
with stomach trouble, and was for
all that time under treatment by a
physician. He finally, after trying
everything, said my stomach was
worn out, and that I would have to
cease eating solid food. On the rec
ommendation of a friend I procured
a bottle of August Flower. Itseem-
ed to do me good at once. I gained
strength and flesh rapidly. I feel
now like new man, and consider
that August Flower has cured me-"

The citizens of Three Rivers, in
her British Majesty's neighboring
province Of Quebec, have stoned the
American Consulate and smashed in
all the windows. 1t isn't annexation
that the Canucks need at the hands
of the United States-that is merely
the secondary treatment to follow
the rigorous first operation that their

EMMETT DALTON, bandit, wounded
to death, comes, and first being duly
sworn, deposes and says that he is a
cousin of the Youngers. Then comes
Cole Younger in all the dignity of a

unmerited honors. 1t seems that a
wise bandit does not necessarily know
his own cousin.

sKUNKS.

L have had to bear some censure for
advocating the protection of hawks
and snakes. Some years ago we had
a plague of rats and mice which babe
defiance for time to the whole cat
and dog creation. 1 proposed giving
hawks and snakes a fair chance,
killing only the poisonous reptiles
and hawks caught in the act
of chicken stealing. still think them
more effective vermin killers than any
means yet discovered or invented.
There is a much maligned and odor-
GUS quadruped which might have been
classed with the hawk and snake as a
vermin destroyer; refer to the skunk.
Not only is the skunk the mortal
enemy of rats, mice, rabbits and other
small vermin, but it is particularly
fond of one of the worst insect pests
the white grub worm, which plays
such havoc with corn and garden
truck.
1t may be urged that his odor is Of
fensive and that his love for spring
chickens make him undesirable, but
these objections do not offset his good
qualities, and he should not be killed
when he does not become troublesome
near the house.
The animal is harmless to human
beings and is the natural enemy of SC
many of our field pests, that we should
if only for selfish motives, bear with
its perfumery department.

MONEY! MATTERS

Now that the question of ifree coili-
age of silvern and increase of the cir
culating medium is so largely occupy
ing public attention, u statement lust
issued by the treasury department
should be of interest, even to those
who have constitutional dislike TO
statistics. 1t tells US that the total
amount of money now in circulation
is ST. 500, 55S, 1892 which is equivalent to
$4.74 for every man, woman and
child in the country. This is an liz
crease of SOL, 1858 over the CORES
ponding date last year. 1t is gener-
ally admitted that the greatest COM
mercial prosperity this country
has ever enjoyed was in the
period lS69-lS72, and yet the amount
of money then in circulation was only
SLIGO per capita. The treasury state
ment names nine kinds of money in
the treasury or in circulation, making
a grand total of 1926, 494,5 l8. There
are $412,000,0e0 standard silver, ST.
100000 in subsidiary silver, 1923, 000,-
600 in silver certificates and $4,000. 000
in silver treasury notes, representing
purchases of silver bullion at the rate
OF 100000 ounces per month. Of
paper money there are $346, 000, 900
"greenbacks," $l72,000,00O national
bank notes and $29,000,000 currency
currency certificates, leaving $685.
100000 in gold coin and $178,000, 900 in
gold certificates to make up the total.
The present clamor for free coinage
and an increased per capita does not
receive support from these figures.

That the people of Austin are losing

moth structure up the river,
is amply proven by the way
in which they visit. Every
day hundreds go out, but on Sunday
they turn themselves loose and flock
to the place in droves in all manner
of conveyances. The dam is their
pride-their darling, and not week
must pass without their seeing what
progress has been made since their
last visit.
AS the work now stands it is safe
against rise unless of unusual pro-
portions. The gap where SO much
hard laborwas spent is now closed by
row of granite blocks two layers
higher than the second gap left in the
masonry-the one nearest the east
end of the dam. No work was done
yesterday but the first thing this
morning the masons will begin to fill
in the rubble back of the granite,
which work can probably be complet-
ed in day or two.

BURNETT, Tex, May S.-Another

of Burnett was held at the court house
last Saturday afternoon to hear the re-
port of the committee who had been
previously appointed to ascertain
what the right of way would cost to
the Lampasas line for the proposed
railroad from Lampasas to Burnett. 1t
was ascertaiped that the entire cost
of right of way would not exceed
$4,000. After several business talks by
the prominent citizens of the town,
committees were appointed to solicit
subscriptions, and every encourage
ment was offered by those present,
and determination manifested that
leaves no room for doubt that Burnett
will do her part to close the gap.

CROPS.
The month just closed has been unu-
sually dry throughout this section;
and some crops, and all garden truck,
are suffering for lack of rain. Winter
oats will be very light crop, both in
straw and grain, but rain would
still be in time to help the spring
crop. She season has been very I'M
favorable for young fruit trees. Near
ly fifty per cent of the pear trees l
planted in December are dead and
the balance are not thriving. There
will be good crop of early peaches,
apples and some plums.
Corn is growing we'll where it has
had cultivation, and the outlook is
good. There is still large per cent
age of cotton left for planting and
that already in the ground is not
making much Roadway. 1 have not
planted any yet. My crop will not
exceed five acres. 1 am going to try
the long staple variety only and as
the seed is costly, l wanted the soil
in good condition before planting. I
may get that, but too late in the sea-
son to give it a fair chance. If the
long staple can be grown successfully
here, it may have profit in cotton
raising until the overproduction
point is reached.

The Official Proceedings Of the Last Regu-

The Official Proceedings Of the Last Regu-
lar Meeting.
Following are the official proceed
ings of the last regular meeting of the
school board as handed to STATES
MAN reporter last evening by the

The city school board met in regu-
lar monthly session May 8, with the
following members present: j. w.

dent J. w. Smith called attention to
the fact that Messrs. Shipe and Lee
bold were present and desired to
make a proposition to the board in re-
gard to establishing ward school in
Hyde Park.
Mr.. Shipe being called upon, stated
that the people in his part Of the city
were very desirious of having
school located at the park, and he
had called to make proposition
which he thought would be of mutual
interest to the board and to the citi-
zens whom he represented.
He proposed to donate to the school
board one and one-half acres of the
most beautiful and appropriate ground
in the southern part of the park and to
erect thereon the first story of a build
ing that should be duplicate of the
one contemplated for tile Tenth ward,
this one story to cost between $4,000
and $4,000, the board to pay per cent
interest on the amount invested until
such time as should be agreed upon.
Judge Fillmore was then introduced
and spoke in favor of the project.
After discussion the matter was re-
ferred to special building committee
with instruction to report upon the
proposition at the next meeting.
The uperintendent's report was
then read and approved, the recon-
mendation being taken up seriatip
and passed upon.
Miss Mamie North was elected to
the position OF superintendent office
clerk, growing out of the resignation
of Miss Mamie l.. Boak, which took
place April 30.
The Goth day of June was appoint
ed for the holding of the annual COM
