PHIL HEssEs DEATH.
He Died Suddenly on the Open
Prairie With no One Near
Him.
San Antonio Express.

/ san ANTONIO Elk pTesSs
Austin, Texas, July 27.-Mr. Paul
Hesre of Laredo is in the city, being
called here by telegram announc-
ing the death of his brother, Mr..
Phil Hesse, whose remains were ex-
pected to arrive here yesterday from
Antlers, I. T., near which place he
died suddenly last Friday.
From Mr.. Paul Hesse The Express
learns the particulars of his BROTH
er's sudden death. As stated in yes
terday's Express Phil had recently
gone to the Territory TO accept po-
sltion with the United States geolo-
gical survey corps and was engaged
in surveying some forty miles dist
ant from Antlers. Last Friday morn
ing he went to work, as usual but
about 10 o'clock complained of a
violent headache. His brother sur
yeyors proposed sending him back
TO camp, which was about a mile off
in The wagon, but Phil thought it
was useless TO 90 TO such trouble,
and started ont TO walk the distance.
When about half way he was over
come with sunstroke and, there
alone on the prairies, with no one
near to administer to his last wants,
his generous spirit went out into the
unknown. The body was found
lying by the waysidc about 3 o'clock
that afternoon and taken to Antlers,
from which place his people in Aus
tin were apprised by telegraph of his
untimely fate. The nearest embalm-
er living in Paris, Texas, he was
wired to prepare the body for burial
but before. he could reach Antlers de-
cay had set in and it was deemed
advisable to bury the body there as
telegraphed The Express yesterday.
The young widow of the unfortun
ate man, who has been completely
Frustrated by the blow occasioned
by her husbands death, will accom-
pany Mr.. Paul Hesse to Laredo to-
morrow, 10 remain some time. In
addition to his brother Paul, Phil
Hesse leaves two brothers in Eu-

ed officer in the German army.

OUR DOGS

1t is amusing, as we'll as instructive, to
watch the conduct OF the resident dogs
in this city. There seems to be 4 well
defined understanding between the can
ines who live on any particular block.

strange dog appear on the street in front

sounded from the point where the
stranger entered and woe to the stranger.
unless he possesses unusual bravery.
Sometimes, however, when big old
country cur strikes town the city dogs
have their hands full. The rural visitor,
for while, is somewhat ratified, but, af-
ter he takes in the situation, he quite
frequently raises his bristles, turns on
his tormenters and exhibits two rows of
white teeth which are not encouraging
to the city dog. The consequence is, the
urban CANNES call of their forces and
allow him to depart in peace:
Dogs are great animals. George Eliot

Gladness Comes

WITH better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasante efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that il is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bere-
fetal effects, to note when You pur-
chase, that You have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system is regular, laXatives or
other remedies ere then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slillful
physicians, but II in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

"A large immigration is coming into the

schoonerS are seen passing through to the
farm lands to the west and north. Many
OF the occupants are those who left the
state during the past few years to seek an

nearly all of these are already back and
the rest are only awaiting the necessary
cash. But a very large share of the set.
tiers are coming from the farming dis
tricts of illinois and eastern Iowa. They
have heard of the good rains which the
state is experiencing and are after the
cheap lands. Similar reports come from
all sections of the state. The heaviest i'm.
migration naturally stops in the eastern
and southern parts, but all portions Is
getting a share.

Timothy grass is reckoned rather
coarse for lawns, but it makes Il sod
so much quicker than do the finer
grasses that it should always be sown
to hold the soil while the other GRASSES
are coming in. BY cutting frequently
with the lawn mower the timothy will
be kept from growing too rank. In Il
year or two under such treatment the
timothy will have run out, and the
lawn will be much better than as if it
had not been sown 1T first. 1t is very
hard to get lawn seed that is free from
seeds of weeds, while it is not difficult
to secure pure timothy seed.

Work for Hens While Eating.

One of the advantages of giving hens
q wide range is that they get a greater
variety of food and have to eat more
slowly. They are also obliged to take
q rood deal of exercise to secure what
they want. Both of these advantages
can be secured to hens confined in
wards. In winter grain of different
kins, oats ana wheat may be mixed
with cut straw. and the hens be allowed
to scratch for il in the hen house. IN

or so nearly SO that scarcely n spear

and worms which the hens will pick
up on this pioWed piece of ground will
make a welcome addition and variety
in their diet. Hens SO managed will
keep on laying until hot weather, when
the moulting season comes on, which
every hen must pass through once Il
year. The earlier it is over the better
il will be for the poulterer'S profits.

Wide Tires and Low Wheels.

Wlue TRES anu LOW ncclS.
The farmer who has never used n
low-wheeled wagon nm understand
how much more convenient they are
than n high-wheeled wagon to huSk
corn in, haul manure or hay. They are
right down by the side of you. and not
up as high as your head. Everybody
knows how handy it is to load Il sled;
it is the same with a low wagon. Some
contend that they pull heavier than
high wheels, but my experience is that
they pull just as easy with the same
kind of n load, even up hill; IN very
rough ground the high wheels may be
best.
If wide tires were used our Iowa
roads would be improved by every We
hicle that went Over them. We use 4
four-inch tire on one wagon. and i'll
hauling loads through the fields, in
stead of cutting ruts in the soft places.
and leaving Jumps to pull over in hard
places, it makes a broad, smooth track.
If a road has ruts it is like the rails
of a street-car track, and a team has
to walk just so to pull easy, or else
give an extra pull to get out, while a
wide tire runs on top and follows the
team easily and does not have any
rutS to keep it exactly in the same
track. 1t makes a wider track in pro-
portion than narrow wheels.-COrre-
