amphitheatre has not been resumed.

letic Club, says work on the structure
costs him 81, 800 day and he does not

take any chances on what the Legisla-
ture may do. The Pastors Association
has called q prayer meeting to pray
for the success of Gov. Culberson's
call upon the Legislature to pass an
emergency law. The people of Dallas
believe the chances of beating the

THE WHIPPING PosT.-The grand
jury in in Washington closed its duties
yesterday.
Its last official act was the present
ing of a paper to Judge Bradley, in
which it was stated that after consid
eiing the various crimes and offenses
brought to its attention, it is believed
that until some other method of punish
ing such otfenses as petty larceny and
wife beating prevailed in the District Of
Columbia, that the commission of said
crimes would increase. In conclusion
the paper recommended to the honor
able judges of the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia that the
judges thereof take such steps to insti-
tute whipping post, as will cause the
same to be established, it being believ-
ed the same would lessen the expend-
itures of the criminal courts and de-
crease the crimes in the Di-t-ict of &C.
lumbia.
The petition was sigued by every
member of the jury, and was duly re-
corded.

have questions put to him about the

from men who know of both far more
than he does. Above all, we warn him
against going to the U. S. Senate, where

in the very midst of his harangue, might
interrupt him with long question, SO
long that he would forget the first part
