terests and prosperity of Texas. He
critisized especially the attacks Gov
ernor Hogg has made on land titles,
and his apparent hostility to capital,
all of which has resulted in drawing
money out of circulation, causing
widespread business stagnation. Maj.
Walton said he was not here as q
Hogg man or Clark man, but as a
supporter of those measures best
adapted to secure the prosperity of
our state. Judge Clark is repre-
sentative of those measures, and
hence he strongly favored his election
as governor of Texas. Maj. Walton
spoke nearly two hours, receiving the
closest attention and frequent ap-
plause.
Mr.. Ed Brooks, young attor-
ney of this city, was introduced
to reply to Major Walton. The enc
my was warned that Mr.. Brooks was
a young David, who, like him of old,
would, with a sling shot and one little
stone, demolish Clark and all his fol-
lowers, especially Major Walton.
This somewhat alarmed the Clark

seemed advisable to remove Major
Walton to place of safety.
Mr.. Brooks warmly defended Gov
ernor Hogg's administration, talked
of calamity howlers and squeezing
wind and water out of railroad bonds.
The virtues of railroad commission
were explained, and on account of
Judge Clark's former opposition to
the commission he was called an arch
hypocrite on that subject.
Major Walton's reply opened with
an eloquent defense of Judge Clark
and a vigorous reputation of that
term as applied to him. He cited, as
example, Gen. Lee opposing secession
and yet subordinating his wishes to
the will of the people, casting his lot
with them for veal or woe. For a
moment every man forget whether he
was for Hogg or Clark, and a rousing
applause went up and the large audi
ence was one, in its veneration for the
dead hero of the Confederacy.
There were many Interruptions and
much goOd-natured banter, and
everybody went away satisfied. Clark
men say Major Walton distinguished
himself, and "didn't leave enough OF
Ed Brooks to be carried home"
Hogg men were pleased with their
young champion. 1t was remarked
with enthusiasm that "Major Walton
was SO badly used up that his own
mother wouldn't have recognized
him.

UNPRECEDENTED FLOODS.
Red River Above High Water Mark-Great
Damage to Railroads.

Damage to Railroads.
TExARKANA, Tex, May 22.-All
traffic over the Iron Mountain north
has been indefinitely cut off. The
river is still rising and several miles
of the railroad track has been washed
away. The town of Homan fourteen
miles north of here is several feet
under water, in fact the whole OF Fed
river bottoms is veritable sea OF
water from hill to hill, a distance OF
about twenty miles. The bridge at
Fulton still stands and it is believed
will succeed in weathering the storm
as driftwood has about ceased to come
down.
On the Cotton Belt all trains be-
tween here and Pine Bluff are run
ming on time. Its tracks are alsf
being used by the Iron Mountain
who make st. Louis via Pine Bluff
and Little Rock. Parties ia from the
edge of the bottoms report the water
at noon today rising at the rate OF
about an inch per hour. The water is
far above the highest water mark OF
1890, and all crop prospects are hope
lessly doomed. The only thought
now is given to the saving of the
three railroad bridges on the Iron
Mountain, Cotton Belt and TeKarkana
and Fort Smith roads, respectively.

THE BATTLE WITH GARZAITEs.
The Report Was Highly Colored by Mexican
officers, Who Were Whipped.

Special to The Statesman
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, May 23.-The
account of the recent fight between
CARA revolutionists and Mexican
troops near Mier recently, was colored
in the dispatches from the City OF
Mexico to make it complete victory
for the soldiers. The real facts are
given in letter received here today
from Deputy United States Marshal
John Jordan, stationed at Rio Grande
City, near the scene of the battle.
He says, 1920 soldiers surprised
eleven Cara men in CORRAL
back of Mier. The eleven, by
protection of the corral killed three
soldiers and wounded six. The revo-
lutionists finally succeeded in driving
the soldiers off. They broke from the
corral and were followed by the SOL
diers short distance. Two of the
revolutionists were killed as they re-
treated. The bodies of the two killed
we've riddled with bullets, and then
the soldiers tied ropes under their
arms and hung them to trees. Cap
tain Louis YzagHirra, commanding
the Mexican troops at Carnage, sent
out men to see who the two dead men
were, as iG was reported they were
Julian Flores and a mulatto named
Quarteno. This was found untrue, as
t men were unknown.

CLARK GETS BEXAR.
DESPITE the Efforts Of the Rotten Bexar Ring
for Hogg.

Despite the Efforts Of the Rotten Bexar Ring
for Hogg.
Special to The Statesman
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, May 22.-The
result of the Bexar county primaries
as affecting the candidacy OF clark
and Hogg Is as yet unknown, but the
friends of the Little Giant are conf
dent that he has won the day, in spite
of the strong pull of the machine I
his opponent, while Hogg's 1rlehos
are very much disappointed that they
were not able to makea clean sweep
and are extremely reserved in their
expressions. Their hopes are paseu
on the expectation of being able TO
manipulate uninstructed delegates,
who were elected by Clark constitu
ents. There is no doupt
that large majority of the city deie-
gates favor Clark and his friends nave
every confidence in the country dele
cations, although nothing is known
here vet regarding their preference.
In the city precincts no Instructions
were given delegates but their prefer
ences with few exceptions, are known.
In two precincts there were contest
ing delegations elected and it is ru,
mored that contests are to be Matched
nm in several other precincts carried
by the friends OF Clark, to prevent
them from voting in the organization
of the county convention, but II TINS Is
ATTEMPTED it will meet with deter
mined opposition that will make IL
impossible to successfully carry IL
through.

the murderer, leaves terrible record
behind him. He has succeeded for
some years in satisfying that awful
Ncraving which he seemd to possess for
Killing women. 1t is probable that
many of his crimes have yet to be un-
earthed. OF all the early ones only
one has been fully SYSTEMATICALLY
stealing of $4,000 in gold from the
Standard bank of Cape Colony. While
his partner in guilt was serving three
years in prison Deeming, then known
as Williams, dug up the gold from the
sand hills in which they had concealed
it and spent the money in South AT
RIGA and Australia. knowledge of
his crimes during this period, and be
fore the theft as well, are constantly
coming to the ears of the police.
His other most startling perpetra'
tions are the murder Of one of his
numerous wives, and his five child
rem, at Rainhill, near Liverpool,
where their bodies were discovered
under the fireplace; and the murder
of his last wife, at Windsor, near Mel
bourne, Australia. 1t is curious that
he made himself a grave-digger as
we'll.
He is believed to be quite sane, al
though his brain will of course be ex-
amined. He is about As years old, 8
feet six inches in height, has great
breadth of shoulder and a slight
stoop. His head is narrow in front
and bullying in the back and behind
the ears, his eyes, of washed-out blue,
are sunk deeply between his over
fhanging forehead bones and projecting
cheek bones; his nose is long and
bent to one side; his mouth is thin
Iipped and cruel, and his face that Of
a criminal, low and cunning.
The autobiography which ne has
written is dedicated to Miss Kate
Rounesvell, who would probably have
been another victim had not the law
at last closed his awful career.

CATARRHAL DYSPEPSIA.
A Disase That is Very Prevalent in City
and Country.

The symptoms of catarrhal dyspep-
STA are: Coated tongue, pain or heavy
feeling in the stomach, belching of
gas, dizzy head, sometimes headache,
Respondent feelings, loss of appetite,
palpitation of heart and irregularity
of the bowels.
For this condition 1 find Pe-ru-na to
be an admirable remedy. In all cases
it brings prompt relief to the painful
symptoms, and in large per cent of
the cases it makes permanent cure.
Pe-ru-na soothes the inflamed mucous
surface, and thus strikes at the root
of the disease. In cases where the
Inflammation has been so severe
and continued as TO produce
extreme irrability of The stomach, the
remedy may be taken in small doses
at first, diluted in water, but as soon
as the Improvement is sufficient to
permit the full dose to be taken undi-
luted, it is better way, and the cure
is much more rayid. Each bottle of
Pe-ru.na is accompanied with COM
plete directions for use. Kept by most
druggists in the United States. If
your druggist does not happen to have
it in stock, he will order it for you.

pages, setting forth in detail the treat
ment of catarrh, coughs, colds, sore
throat, bronchitis and consumption,

The early Britons. were in the habit
of tattooing forms and figures on their

dyed or colored their long, bushy hair,
sometimes giving it blue tint. 1t
was from some such source that the

Although that color is not seen now

there is no dye that cannot be detect

A Possibility That She VIII Make No
Exhibits at Chicago.
CHICAGO, Sept. S.-After making an ap
preparation of $500, 900 for the Worlds fair
and completing all plans for the greatest
exhibit of any foreign nation, the gov
ernment of France may withdraw entirely
from the Columbian exposition. Cable
grams were received several days ago an
nouncing that unless certain conditions
were granted to French exhibitors by Sept.
1O France would suspend all preparations
for the fair, surrender the space assigned to
her exhibitors and cancel the official accept
ance of President Harrison's invitation to
take part in the fair.
Briefly stated, France asked for certain
amount of space in each of the big build
ings; the amount is what experts considered
necessary to make proper showing of the
country's resources and products; rather
than accept a smaller area and have an in
ferior show France will make no show at
ALL
All the correspondence in the case was
sent to the all powerful council of admins
tration in the hope that way would be
found to accommodate France. The coun-
Gil took no action on the matter, but the
executive committee of the local board
complicated the situation by refusing to put
up separate building for the department
of liberal arts. Had this been done the en-
tire educational display could have been
moved from the manufacturers' building
and more space secured for France where
it is most needed.

New York Leaders.
NEW YORK, Sept S.-The New York Sun
today says that at a conference of prominent
Democrats at the residence of William c.
Whitney, Tuesday evening, it was decided
to send Mr. Don Nj. Dickinson Immediately
to wait upon Mr.. Cleveland at Buzzards
Bay and to request his presence in this city.
Mr.. Cleveland is wanted here in order that
Mr.. Whitney and others can have free ac-
cess to him, and that something can be done
to bring about meeting between the ex-
president and David B. Hill, Senator Cor
man and William R. Grace. Mr.. Whitney,
Mr.. Dickinson and other active Democratic
leaders are said to be embarrassed by the
present condition of affairs, and to have de-
clded to ask Mr.. Cleveland to aid them in
increasing the harmony in the ranks.
BUzzARD's BAY, Mass, Sept S.-Grover
Cleveland left for New York rather unex-
pectedly. Hon. Don NJ Dickinson, Private
Secretary OBrien and Mr.. Cleveland left
together. Mr.. Cleveland did not deny that
MS visit to New York was of a political
nature, and said he would not be absent
longer than a day, unless something un-
foreseen transpired. He intimated that he
was to see some of his political friends in
New York. He would under no circum-
stances make any speeches and would prob
ably not leave New York city.
