A WONDERFUL ROOSTER.

Cuero Record.
Cuero IS always at the front
when it comes to peculiar
things. Now she's in it was a
laying rooster. Possibly he is
a species of the new man. We
have read Of the gobbler gath
eriDg together rocks and set
ting on them because his female
mate declined to lay eggs and
hatch then. We heard Of the
new man staying at home TO
nurse the kids while his wife
donned her boomers and went
out for q spin on Eer bike to
attend some woman's rights or
political meeting, but never be
fore have we heard of rooster
laying eggs. 1t falls to Cuero's
lot to present to the world this
"ouly one of its kind" rooster.
His fowlowship belongs to a la
dyliving in North Cuero and her
husband is authority for the
statement. The rooster ruled
the roost for time until a game
cock made his appearance and
logged him and to prevent
further bloodshed or feathers
flying the laying rooster was
cooped up. he was Respondent
and droopy, but on the third
day he reemed to throw off his
down heartedness and crew
Justify. The lady hearing his
continuous growing went out to
learn the cause and found in
the center of the coop a fresh
egg which lie was cycling and
of which he seemed to be very
proud. Where it came from if
the rooster did not lay it is a
mystery and the husband says
his wife is positive the rooster
laid. the egg. Now hasn't Cuero
got the crack mother rooster of

What Hon. j. II. Monroe Has. TO Say
On the Question.
San Antonio Express.

AC1lil ftNN~'
Austin, Texas, Sept 10.-Hon. J.
r. Monroe, who represented Starr
county in the lower house of the
Twenty-fourth Legislature, and who
is a warm personal friend of the Hon
James B. Wells of Brownsville, ex-
pressed the opinion tc the Express
correspondent yesterday evening that
Mr.. Wells did not care to 90 to con-
gress from the Eleventh district, and
would not be candidate. Said he
further:
1--WE cannot spare and we don't
want him to go to Washington. His
continued presence down in our sec
ton is necessary TO keep political
matters straight, and furthermore,
Mr.. Wells has 2 large amount of le-
gal business which he cannot afford
to give up, and which it would be to
his great material loss to neglect to
accept seat in congress. OF course
nomination is equal TO an election
with us, and Mr.. Wells would ex-
perience no difficulty in getting a
nomination if he wanted it. l am
speaking Of him as 1 would speak of
a brother in this matter: / don't
want him to run, but of course l
would support him if he desired the
Office. As TO Mr.. Grain it is my IN
Outstanding that he hes given it out
that he will not be a candidate again.
If Mr.. Wells don't run l think he
and his friends will support Mr.. Ru-
dolph KIeberg of Cuero.'
Another gentleman speaking of
the matter said there was plenty of
good congressional timber in the
Eleventh district with Messrs. Grain
and Wells out of the question. lie

Report of the Intended summary Dis
mi~sal of the Ministry.
Wl>NlrEG, Man. May 3.-There is
great indignation here over a coup d'etat
reported to be contemplated at Ottawa.
Some days ago information was received
that Lieut.-Gov. Schultz was negotiating
with the federal ministers for a second
term of office and it was minated that
he had complained that Attorney Cen
eral Sifton had broken faith with him
by taking part in the election contest in
IIaldimand. appealing to the voters TO
oppose the restoration of separate schools
and that he is ready to 90 to the extreme
of dismissing the entire ministry.
This Information has been partially
confirmed by remarks made by con
servative leaders in this city.
The technical excuse for Diminishing the
ministry will be merely a thin cloak to
hide the real purpose, if it is done,
which is TO take the school question out
of dominion politics until after the an
nual election. and then to c~onsummate
the plan Of forcing the restoration Of the
separate schools.
The report is secuted by many per
sons. but it Is commonly believed that
If such action we're taken it would be
the Cause Of the disruption Of the do
minion.
The fu.. pastoral letter Of Archbishop
Langeyin has been made public. In
reference to schools, he says: In the
name Of the sacred rights protected by
the most solemn treaties as we'll as royal
promises, and recognized by the highest
tribunal Of the British empire, even
