Nothing in This World

Is so cheap as q newspaper, whether 1t be
measured by the cost Of its production or BY its
value to the consumer. We are talking about
an American, metropolitan, daily paper Of the
first class like THE CHICAGO RECORD. It's so
cheap and so good you can't afford in this day
of progress to be without it. There are other
papers possibly as good but none better, and
none just like it. 1t prints all the real news Of
the world-t the nezUs you care tor-eye1y day,
and prints it in the shortest possible space. You
can read THE CHICAGO RECORD and do days
work too. 1t is an Independent paper and gives
all political news free from the faint Of party
has, In vord-its complete, condensed
czean honest family newspaper, and it has the
largest morning circulation in Chicago or the
west-125. 900 to 14O, 900 q day.
Prof. j. I. Hatfield Of the Northwestern
University says: 1.-THE CHICAGO RECORD

nal as we are for some time likely to find
on these mortal shores.

Sensations of starving

For the first two days through
which strong and healthy man
is doomed to exist upon nothing his
sufferings are perhaps more acute
than in the remaining stages; he
feels an inordinate. unspeakable
craving at the stomach night and
day. The mind runs upon beef,
bread and other substances, but
still, in a great measure, the body
retains it's strength. On the third
and fourth days, but especially on
the fourth, this incessant craving
gives place to a sinking and weak
ness Of the stomach, accompanied
by nausea. The unfortunate sui
ferer still desires food, but with a
loss of strength he loses that eager
craving which he felt in the earlier
stages. Should he chance to OBJ
tain a morsel or two of food, he
swallows it with wolfish avidity,
but five minutes afterward his sui
ferinos are more intense than ever.
He feels as if he had swallowed
living lobster, which is clawing
and feeding upon the very founda-
ton of his existence. On the
fifth day his cheeks suddenly APP
pear hollow and sunken, his
body attenuated, his color is ashy
pale and his eyes wild, CLASSY and
cannibalistic. The different parts
of the system now war with each
other. The stomach calls upon
the legs to go with it in quest OF
food; the legs from weakness, re-
fuse. The sixth day brings with
it increased suffering, although the
pangs of hunger are lost in an over
towering languor andsickness. The
head becomes dizzy; the ghosts OF
well-remembered dinners pass in
hideous procession through the
mind. The seventh day comes
bringing increased lassitude and
further prostration of strength.
The arms hang listlessly, the legs
drag heavily. The desire for food
is still left to degree, but it must
be brought, not sought. The mis-
cradle remnant of life which still
hangs to the sufferer is a burden
almost too grievous to be borne:
yet his inherent love of existence
induces a desire still to preserve it
if it can be saved without tax on
bodily exertion. The mind wan
ders. At one moment he thinks
his weary limbs cannot sustain him
a mile; the next he is endowed with
unnatural strength, and if there be
a certainty of relief before him
dashes bravely and strongly for
ward, wondering whence proceeds
his new and sudden impulse

This is Horrible

1t may be that every word spo-
ken or written by the microscopists
about the wriggling mass of invis-
IDLE monsters that inhabit almost
every article Of food used by man.
kind is true. The case may be
worse than they have ever painted
it. But for one, we prefer to re-
main in ignorance Of ills that can
by no means be abated. To be
told that dried fruit of all kinds is
inhabited, each berry by thousands
of creatures armed with horns,
bristline with anger and engaged
in perpetual warfare that hundreds
of thousands of wriggling creatures
make their home in dried fig; that
each drop of water we drink swarms
with invisible serpents which under
a powerful glass take on the forms
of the monsters of mythology; to
be conscious that at every meal we
swallow millions Of living things
and that every week we thus intro
duce into the body three or fourmil-
lions of the tiny monsters is simply
horrible. AS an example OF the
cheerful literature that emanates
from the laboratories Of our chem
lists and microscopists, the reader
is referred to the report of recent
examinations of OleOmargarlne
and butter for bacteria. Mar
garine is found to be freer from
them than butter The average
in butter was 100000 to 2O,OOO,-
900, microbes to a gramme and In
one extreme case 100000. The
average in margarine was 4,OOO,-
900 to 100000, and the extreme
100000. Cold reduces the mar
garine microbes from 100000 tc
100000, while it only killed of
one-third Of those Of butter; more
over, no pathogenic bacteria were
discovered in the imitation. Boil
articles are discomforting enough
in the light of this analysis. How
ever. as we all of us have doubtless
swallowed 100000 microbes te
the gramme at some time or Other
and still live, the general voice will
probably continue in favor Of but

STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS.

Washington, Sept. 80. l. E4- United
States Senator Malone WAS stricken
with paralysis today at 0hamberlaip's
hotel, where he had been lstoppipg for
some time past. AS he is ndbw advanced
in years the attack is regarded as very
s serious sir Though he has Falie somewhat
His physicians heve been IN constant
consultation throughout the \afternooh
and think his chances for recoSeY tyeI I,
doubtful. The relatives of the o. sena !,
have been summoned from Virginia by
telegraph. The right side is paralyzed,
including the right arm and leg. He is
unable to speak, except few inarticu-
late sounds. He has maintained con-
seriousness, however, and seems to aid,
tering to his wants.
Up to IL o'clock last night he was in
excellent health and spirits and had given
no intimation of feeling unwell. No
sound was heard from his room after he
retired. At 10 o'clock this morning Mr..
Long, manager of the hotel, went to the
gentleman's room to call him and found
him unable to speak. The last feature
was attributed to exhaustion incident to
the vomiting, and for time no signif-
canoe was attached to the generals fail
ure to speak. DR.. Walsh, cx-surgeon
general of the navy and lifelong friend
of General Malone, was sent for but
could not be found. In the meantime it
became evident that the generals illness
was serious and DR.. Baker was called in.
He at once pronounced it case of paral-
ysis.
General Malone appeared to be suffer
ing no pain. By the motion of the hands
and faint sounds he made his wants
known. Mr.. Edmund Waddle, the sena-
tors secretary, was with him, and at
the senator's request notified the mem
bers of his family to come to Washington
Ex-senator Malone was very low at
midnight and his physicians feared that
he might not survive the night. His
wife and daughter arrived at II o'clock
and were at his bedside,

and dsarm the industrious traducers who
have been jabbing their poisoned shafts
into her vitals and take her merited rank
and position in the worlds esteem when
it is flashed over the wires and printed in
every city and hamlet of this and all 9TH

respect, that prize fight, low and bru-
tai thing in the estimate of enlightened
/ society everywhere, would take place
within her borders Nnd was not obnoxious
to her laws.
Our State is not new, but she is I'M
developed. Our natural resources are
practically unlimited, while our cash re-
sOurces-Our money in actual circulation
is but barely sufficient for current COM
mercial requirements, leaving nothing for
permanent Investment in factories and
railroads and furnaces to give employ
ment to labor and promote development
and progress in town and country. There
is not city nor town nor a village
from the Sabine to the Rio Grande, from
the grass covered hills of the Pan Handle
to the dancing waters of the gulf, but
that is in pressing need of more capital
to employ its people and make it's indus
tries more profitable. To get it we must
look beyond the borders of the State
and to those who as rule know little of
us beyond what is current history as
written in the newspapers and periodi-
Gals of the time.
Capital is a timid thing and can not
be induced to seek domicile among a peo-
pie who are reputed to be unenlightened,
of low morals, or whose laws are not up
to the standard of this cultivated age.
Those of us who have had experience in
capitalizing enterprises in Texas know
how injurious our former newspaper no
tOriety for rOwdyism has been and how
difficult it has been to induce capital to
come here.
We have just about lived down these
lying criticisms and the eyes of all Amer
ica were fixed on us and our future was
as bright as the suspicious beginning of
perfect day in June. when the blighting
influence of this prize fight announce
mCnt came upon us. The objection to ii

careful training render them more capa-
BILE than l of passing judgment on that
phase of the case.
am firm in the conviction that to al
low this fight to occur on our soil will in
jure the State almost irreparably from a
material standpoint and will arrest the
wheels of progress now so happily in
motion and set us back fully a dozen
years. If we allow it we give color to and
galvanizc into truth every malicious
thing that has been written about us.
1t is to be earnestly hoped that the
legislature will promptly enact a statute
fitting the emergency and that you will
succeed in guarding our great State
against the calamitous consequences of
allowing this thing to occur on her soil;
Earnestly commencing you for the stand

following report
Whereas. The proposed fight at DIAL

tally, backed by gamblers and black
legs, and opposed to every moral and
aw-abidng sentiment in, and disgrace
to the good name of the State of Texas;

Whereas. The governor of the State
has courageously made the issue as to
whether these professional pluguglies or
the good citizens of Texas own this
State, and stands pledged to exhaust
every lawful means to prevent the same.
Now, therefore. be it
Resolved first. That we, the citizens of
Georgetown, in mass meeting assembled,
regardless of political faith or creed, I'M

course of Governor Culberson in the
premises in his determined and manly
stand against the fight and request that
he exhaust every method possible to
avert the same.

and representatives, to vote and work
for the immediate passage of n law max

the end that the world may know that
enterprises of this kind can find no home
in our State. and we beg every law-abid'

your efforts to stop the prize fight. Other

Texas conditions are vastly different

from the injurious effects Of allowing
this thing on our soil. Texas has been
advertised all over this continent and in
Europe as the home and the safe retreat
of the desperate, the Cut-thToat and thc
criminal of all lands. She has been the
brunt of every low joke and the scene of
every diabolical crime that the vicious i'm
aginatiOns of impecuniOus scribblers
could invent. Her institutions have been
represented as barbaric, her people as
non-progressive and unenlghtened and
her laws framed for the encouragement of
all that was low and vicious in morals.

Governor Culberson is determined to stoI
that prize fight at Dallas if any enact
ment of laws will be prohibitory thereof.
The readers of The Statesman will agree
with this assertion when they read this
morning the call of the governor for a
special session of the legislature issued
Yesterday and published in full below.
This call was kept very quiet yesterday,
and only the members of the governor
cabinet and few outsiders knew any
thing about it, and it will therefore be
all the more of q surprise when IT IS read
in The Statesman this morning. Cover
nor Culberson very rightly says that to
avoid any possible conflict of opinion be-
tween the higher courts of the State he
deems it advisable, expedient and the
part of wisdom to call the able solons to-
gether and let them grind out law which
will be so clearly prOhibitory of prize
fighting that the dear boys who indulge
in the punching act will have to depart for
other climes. There is little doubt but
what this calling of the legislature will
create quite a commotiOn in sporting cir
cles as we'll as much wailing and gnash-
ing Of teeth. Just along about the pres
emit writing the lot of the average Texas
legislator is not an enyiable one by any
means. With both the religious and
sporting factions pulling on a mans coat
tail in such matter as this he is in very
truth occupying a position that no man
would care to assume.
The average legislator will be very
important man, however, along about
next Tuesday noon, and there are some
who will envy him the prominence he
will gain upon this occasion. Be that as
it may, however, we will have to await
the action of the legislature before we
know finally what will be done in the mat
ter of prize fighting. In the meantime

MRS. CTTLBERsON DENIES.

Mrs Governor Culberson returned yes
terday morning from a visit to Chicago
and other Eastern points. When asked
as to the authenticity of the alleged
interview with her, sent out from Chica-
go by the Associated Press, Mrs. Gull
berson replied that she did not care to,
nor was it necessary, to submit to an
interview to deny the report. That its
fallacy was shown on its face. In this
connection it is we'll to note that the en-
tire interview was made out of the whole
cloth, and, according to Mrs. Culberson,
there is not the slightest foundation
for it.

entire cost of this plant, with all copnes
tons was $4,000.
Could better plan be devised for om
purposes? Put such plant on ton a

dam and Austin will have a perfect
water system. For the head we would
secure from such high elevation womb
be far better than the direct pumping
pressure we now have and the constant

be relieved. We urge a consideration a.
this plan upon all our citizens, and NOR y.
especially upon the city council and

preceding a discharge of the grand jury
here today by Judge Bradley, written
communication was submitted to the
court favoring the establishment of the
whipping post in the District of Column

Bradley commented briefly on the recon-
mendation and said he thought such a
method of punishment would be produc-
