Now tLat the Board Of Schoc
Trustees IS duly elected, we sill
offer the following suggestions
Not that we are disposed to as
sumo dictatorship nor to place on
selves in the position OF public ad
visor but simply to publicly cal
attention to the necessities requir
ed to establish and maintain .
school that will be the pride of ouI
town and OF lasting benefits to oul
people. The trustees are elected
they are elected to exercise theil
/ judgement and discretion as tc
what Is best for our school, they
are elected by the district to rep
resent the district in all matters
pertaining to the school affairs.
BY virtue of the fact that they are
the trustees they are duly empow-
cred to act as they may think for
the best interest of the whole dis
trict, then let them have the free
exercise of all those rights and
prerogatives that the district has
bestowed upon them. Ifyou had
not the confidence in them to he
lieve they would consider the in
terest of the district in preference
to the interest Of an individual. if
you believe they would moi act
honestly to themselves and Justly
to the entire district you should
have openly opposed their election
But no one can doubt that they
will act in all things Justly and
fairly. You must remember how
ever that in view of conducting the
school affairs to the best interest
of the entire district, which in
justice they are hound to do, they
cannot SO shape each aud every
particular affair as to pacify the
whims and caprices Of the single
individual. You have placed your
part Of the school affairs in the
hands Of the trustees, now let
the trustees manage it. If the
district has ever been divided Oh
school questions, it will be utterly
impossible for the trustees to
please all, SO long as the sentiment
of lewiston exists, Such has been
the case, and there Is no use deny
ing it Therefore if you are inter
ested in having a school that will
benefit you as well as all others
the proper steps to take is to lay
down and bury forever the little
personal spites, whimsical trivial
ties, and bitter feelings that may
have arisen from the little squalls
and cat-fghts heretofore enacted
this district Leave tie whole af-
fair with the trustees elected By
the district. Remember that when
they act it is for the districtand
not to suit an individual, and in
case they should do something
that did not exactly meet your ap-
proyal abide by it as best you can,
and remember that there are 9th
ers in the district than yourself.
Now to make a long story short,
the only and best way to make the
school 4 success, is for each one
in the district to determine to
abide by the actions Of the trus-
tees. In other words leave the en-
tire management of the district
school affairs entirely with the
board Of trustees. Dear reader,
Of this district, dou't think this Is
meant Tor the other person, It IS
meant directly for you, and if you
will heed it and act accordingly.
the school viii in all probability
be a success.

Grand Jury Renort.

TeIhe Hon " II Allison, Ju5ige 80 Jaiieial Die
We, the Grand Jury, in and fol
San Saba county, Texas, at its
April term, 1898, Of the Dis
court, herewith submit our report
1. We we beg to report that we
have made diligent inquiry into
the criminal affairs Of the county
and as far us the graver crimes are
concerned find the same to be
more favorable to law and order
than usual, but this cannot be said
Of the smaller oHenses, such as
carrying pistols, and giving or sell
ing whiskey to miners. This par
ticular ofIense we believe to be de-
cidedly on the increase, and would
recommend that our officers and
all good citizens use all diligence
to suppress this (seemingly)
growing crime, as much of the
business brought before this body
can be traced directly or indirectly
to the above violation of law.
, We considered over one hun
bred charges, and found forty-sev-
en- bills. a large proportion of
this number are misdemeanor
cases, a record of which can be
found on Grand Jury journal pag-
es IS to S9inclusive.
3. We visited The Jail and found
same to be in fair condition and
properly managed. The inmates
speak kindly of the sheriff and
his assistants.
l. Inasmuch as the finances Of
the county have recently under
gone thorough investigation by
your financial committee appoint
ed at the last term Of the District
court, which report we have be-
fore us, aad suggest that same be
submitted to the Commissioners
court
We DO not deem Unnecessary that
another finance committee should
be appointed for the ensueing six
months.
5. Before bringing this report
to a close we desire to thank the
officers md bailiffs for their Off
Gent services during the sitting of
this body. Respectfully submitted.
Grand jury, Sim Whitted,
Foreman.

Sentiment is a peculiar thing.
No one can foreteli its trend. The
House of the Texas Legislature
passed bill appropriating $4,000
to the Cisco cyclone sufferers.
Just think of it. Those people in
deed needed help but the help
should have come from individual
donations. These people lost their
property and their homes in an
unfortunate accident But how
many people in this state have no
homes and are in just as poor cir
eumstances as those at Cisco. Why
need the Legislature make an aPpro
priaticn for these and not others?
The Cisco people needed help and
they got it, the noble hearts Of
Texas responded to their call and
that was the proper way to contri-
butte assistance. Bat the state ap-
preparation was out Of place.

The 23rd Legislature Of Texas
has made some useless appropria-
tions. The $4,000 appropriated
for the militia. Whenever Texas
needs military assistance these
gimlet-headed militia dudes viii
be useless. The 10000 approPri-
ated to the Cisco cyclone sufferers
was charitable but out Of place as
a state appropriation. The So
coo per year drawn by the com
missioners is a waste of public
money. The appropriations for
University and also for normal
schools were wauton extravagan-
cies. These are needless and use
less appropriations Of the public
money all of which combined must
be raised by general taxation thus
forcing each citizen to support
things that should be self-suppoIt-
ing.

The following was clipped from
a speech of James B Weaver al
iiadelphia April 6tb, 1898,
Theirs arg three things essentia.
ta human life or this globe.
The earth, the atmosphere, and
the sunlight.
There are three institutions nee
e5sary to the felicity and welfare
.of the human family
The first is the family, the sec
ond is the church, and the third is
The civil government.
There are three fundamental di-
visions ofhuman effort.
',The producer, tho manufacturer
'aga the distributor.
There is another trinity the
commercial instrument necessary
IN the transaction OF business IN
our modern civilization:
The first Is money the second
is facilities for transportation, and
tie third is facilities for the trans
mission of intelligence. And now
there is another earthly trinity
which we must by no means lose
sight of which relates to the rights
Of property.
That which nature provides is
the common property of all Gods
children, that which tbeindividual
creates belongs to the community.

HE SHOT INTO THE CROWD.
A Bold Young Thief Holds Many Peopl

A Bold Young Thief Holds Many Peopl,
at Bay In Crowded Street.
New YoRK June 23.-A strongly built
youth Of 16 held a crowd at bay yesterday
in Second avenue near One Hundred and
Third street. He had stolen 81 from a
store, and when he was accused of the theft
by the proprietor he whipped out a revolver
and fired a shot at him.
He then dashed up Second avenue big
crowd at his heels. When his pursuers
got close to him he turned, faced them anG
fired two shots One of the bullets STRUCK
12-year old boy in the head and the other
| lodged in mans arm. The boy is in a
dangerous condition.
But for the promptness of young man
who lives in the vicinity the thief would
have escaped. Despite the fact that he
fired two shots at him this young man run
him down. overpOwered him and turned
him over to tho police.
Christopher Berkhofer was reading a
newspaper in his shoe store at No. 227
East One Hundred and Third street when
A youth entered and asked for pair of
shoestrings. He was George Hanley, and
although he looks 20 he says he is only 49,
Berkhoter went to the back of the store
to get the shoestrings. He saw HRnley go
to the till and take silver dollar. Then
the youth quietly walked out.
He went into August Wiegand's saloon
next door, at No. 229. There were several
men in the place.
"Come up and have a drink, all of you"
Hanley said "I've got money enough to
blow the crowd
They drank with the lad, and when it
came time to pay Hanley had dispute
over the charge with Wiegand. While
they were arguing Berkhoter entered.
"You stole my money" he cried at Han
ley, ''you are thief"
II am, ehl' coolly remarked the lad,
quickly bringing his right hand TO his hip
pocket. 1t held big revolver when he
drew it out
Without hesitation Hanley blazed away
at Berkhofer. The bullets grszed the shoe
Dealers sar and lodged in the wall.
Before any one could interfere Hanley
uarted out Of the saloon and ran toward
Second avenue, the smoking revolver in
his hand. Berkhofer, the saloon keeper
and the men who had been drinking with
him rushed after him. Many children who
were playing in the street joined the pur-
suers
Hanley turned into Second avenue. He
had gone half block when the crowd was
almost upon him. A few more strides and
the pursuers would have him
Looking over his shoulder he saw how
close the pursuers were Like flash he
wheeled and the crowd came to a stand
still when they saw he had elevated his
big revolver.
He fired two shots into the throng and
both OF them took effect With a cry of
pain l2yearold George Stevenson, Of No,
20l4 Second avenue, fell to the sidewalk
with bullet in his head. He had been
hit in the right temple
The other bullet struck Arthur Weink-
ler 80 years old, mechanic, of No. 1887

With bound Hanley was away again
up the avenue. and he probably would
have got away from the terrified pursusrs

proceedings at this point.
He is muscular young fellow When
the shots were fired he was nearby and
started after Hanley as that youth darted
up the avenue.
McEntee ran like a deer and readily
gained on the fugitive At One Hundred
and Fifth street Hanley stood and tried to
frighten McEntee by pointing the revolver
at him. The sturdy coal trimmer, how
ev r, appeared TO have no fear, and quick
ly lessened the distance between himself
and Hanley.
Seeing that McEntee would not stop,
Hanley opened fire on him. His revolver
spoke twice, but neither shot took effect.
Hanley then became frightened, and, turn
ing the corner, ran toward Third avenue
McEntee was almost upon him when a few
houses from the corner Hanley dashed
through an open doorway.
He was stepping up the stairs when Nc
Entee grabbed him around the waist at the
same time pinning the hand that held the
revolve to his side.
Hanley showed fight and was giving Nc
Entee a lively tussle when some Of the
pursuers, who had followed at a respectful
distance, entered the hallway and helped
overpower Hanley. Policeman Jose of the
East Eighty Eighth street station, arrived
just when Hanley had been disarlned.
'I'll go with You, said Hanley looking
at the policeman He appeared to fear
that the crowd might treat him severely.

suits of Michael Igo against Roache the costs
were put on Igo. In Mrs Millers suit
against Mrs. Igo, Mrs. Miller was saddled
with the costs. In Kriek's suit against Mr.

costs, and in the case of Mrs. Igo against Mr..

county was stuck for the costs; so now all
