THE MOKE MILLINERY COMY
The Contract Signed.

The new substitute stone con-
tract for the county courthouse
construction was duly signed this
morning, on behalf of the county,
by Major John Alexander Green,
ST.. and by the contractors, George
Duggan and Otto p. Kroeger, in
the county court room, and ac-
knOwledged before the county
clerk.
County Judge Callaghan had OBJ
iected to the contractors bond
because the principal and most
wealthy of the sureties of contrac-
tor Dugan were absenteeS residing
in Missouri, beyond the jurisdiction
of the Texas courts, and so Mr..
Dugan brought in Mr.. George NJ.
Dilley, of the firm of Henry u Dill
lev, who signed the bond and quail
flied as bondsman for the full
amount of the bond, 100000. The
amended contract and new bond
was then accepted, adopted and APP
proved, and an order to that effect
entered on the minutes OF the court.
The commissioners then proceed
ed to select managers for the cleo
ton to be held in the various school
precincts on the first Saturday in
Iunp.

A FRENZIED WOMAN.
She Abuses her Child in a fit OF
Insanity.

She Abuses her Child in a fit OF
Insanity.
Quite an excitement was OcCa-
stoned on Nilleta street about |
o'clock this morning, when it was
reported that Mrs. ShcTmann, a
shOemaker'S wife, had attempted
to kill her 1O-year old daughter,
while in a fit of insanity. Some of
the neighbors heard the screams
of the girl, and as soon as possible
the mounted officers and Officer
BObee, We're summoned to the
house. When they arrived, they
found the young girl lying on the
bed, bleeding at the nose. She was
questioned and stated that her
mother had not endeaVOred to kill
her, but she struck her several
hard blows in the face. The WO-
man kept very quiet and after re-
covering from her temporary ILL
ness, she seemed to regret what
she had done.
Several days ago Mrs. Sheur-
mann gave birth to twins and has
since been at times, deliriOus. The
maIady ais a strange one which
is not understood by the ply
sicians. A singular fact is that
she never is afflicted with one of
these awful spells, unless her hus-
band is away from the house. He
was attending st. Marks church
this morning at the time of the
trouble.
Mrs. Sheurmann was much i'm
proved at l o'clock, and she was
not taken in custody by the
officers, owing to the fact that her
husband agreed to closely watch
her,

Connection of Filth and Cholera,

While dirt and dampness will
not of themselves produce cholera,
without the presence of the especific
germ, both dirt and dampness FUR
nish the means for the infinite IN
crease of the specific bacillus, writes
DR.. d. b. st. John Roosa in the En-
cheering Magazine. Once allow
the cholera germs to infect the
water supply of a city and, that
water be generally partaken OF, the
city is doomed. But that the dis
ease is not contagious in the sense
of being carried from one person TO
another, by personal contact, ought
to be a source of great satisfaction
and congratulatiOn to all who may
be exposed to an epidemic.

A ) STRANGE MOON.

1t must have been United States day in
tue moon last night, or. TO avoid bull, it
would be better perhaps to say this morn
Ing about i O'Clock. Grand old Lady
Luna never looked more bright and
beautiful iii all the long years which
she has continued to reign as queen
Of the night. The halo which
encircled her was the stran-
gest ever seen from this point,
at least by mortal eye. It was genuine
red. white and blue. The outer edge was
red, the inner edge very delicate blue and
the center a pale yellow or white. By
wearing these colors she certainly must
have felt kindly toward the United States.
Does it mean that the panic is at an end?
IL lt does not it means some 9TH
er blessing for our beloved land The
old lady was most charming to look at
when she occupied the space defined by
the outlines of the city building and post
office taking the EAGLE office as point
of observation. \ few dark small clouds
were hanging over her, the fringes of
which reflected the combination colors of
her halo, only that they were blended as
delicately as the colors of the rainbow.
Even the two little stars that followed like
waiting maids in the wake of her royal
majesty wore the national colors and
twinkled more sweetly than ever before.
At l:30 the colors faded, and left nothing
but the same old halo that crowned her
when Adam first gazed upon her from the
Garden of Eden.
The toilers of the night are more than
compensated for the loss of so many bright
morning sunriseS by such scene as the
moon presented to them last night.

IT WAS A TOAD,


A couple were returning from the Fech-
heimer social Thursday night. 1T was
the very witching hour when church
yards yawn." But it was also time
when lovers dream and talk love to each
other; when every man is a Romeo and his
sweetheart Juliet; when dogs bay at the
moon, and toads feed upon the vapors of
dungeons. All these things and more.
too, were passing through the minds of
this young couple as the walked home,
not very fast, when suddenly toad
jumped from almost under the feet of
Juliet just as she was saying: "Be but
sworn my love and I'll no longer be "a
"Ah! heavens, look at that wartr she ex-
claimed, as she caught sight of the reptile
andcrept closer to Romeo. who was amply
repaid for his fright in having his sweet
ness that much closer to him.

INFORMAL BUT DELIGHTFUL.

An informal, but nevertheless a delight
full little lawn party was given last night
at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs j. H.
Phillips, 333 North Waco avenue. The
occasion for the pleasant event might be

ture is SO pretty in design that upon per-
ceiviDg it one could hardly refrain call
ing it Midsummer Day Dream" Every
one present pronounced it a peerless work
of art and it does full justice TO the origin
al, which IS saying a good deal. Music,
song and refreshments constituted the
principal part of the program and these
added to the charming hospitality of Mr..
and Mrs. Phillips and their bright and
interesting children made the event one
long to be remem bered by the favored few
who We're present.
Emil Petzhold, one of the most charm
ing boy singers in Kansas, was present
and filled the surroundings with the melo-
dy Of his sweet and peculiar voice. Every
body pronounced him wonder and he
certainly had reason TO be proud of the D.
plause rendered him by even neighbors
who sat i'll their verandas and heard his
melodious strains. Professors Beal and
Bennett were there also with their mando-
Inns and added greatly to the occasion.
After two or three hours of feasting in
music, song and the balmy breezes that
waited from the southland the delighted
party was rendered "a luncheon in har-
mony with all the other successes OF the
occasion
