AT meeting of the stockholders of
the Peoples Sentinel today the paper
was disposed Of to Capt. S. M. Wool
sey, of Hutto, who will continue to
run it in the interest of the Peoples
party. This paper had the largest
and best paying list of subscribers in
Williamson county prior to the presi-
Dental election, but the crushing de-
feat sustained by the Populists when
they expected to elect every county
officer, based on gains two years gao,
seems to have completely demoralized
that party in Williamson county,
which was considered the hot bed of
Populism in Texas.

STUDENTS MUST NOT BET.

Northwestern University Faculty to Stop
the wagers on Football Matches.
The authorities of Northwestern uni
versity are much agitated at the reports
of students betting on the victorious
football team, and faculty action to-
ward suppressing the practice is to be
taken. Prof. j. Scott Clark, as chair
man OF the faculty-student committee
on athletics, said the other afternoon
that the rumors would be investigated
at the faculty meeting, and if their
truth was proved, the students impli-
Gated would be apt to receive severe
treatment.
1t is estimated that upward of $500
came into the hands of the Northwest
ern supporters as the result of the Chi
cago victory, and that about 81, 900 was
wagered at Champaign. This latter sum
does not, however, represent the amount
of the winning, which was much less,
for no Illinois man could be induced to
put up money except on long odds.
The faculty is determined in the
stand to stamp out the betting. Presi-
dent Rogers, after the Chicago game,
made the statement that either bet
ting or football must go, and the senti-
ment is known to receive the support of
the majority of the professors and Of
the trustees.

RAILWAY COMMISSION.
Meets To Hear Complaints OF Texas
Roads AS To Low Freight Rates
Adjourned To Tuesday.

Austin, Tex, Dec 4.-Special.-The
Railroad commission had a meeting
this morning to hS ar the arguments
of railroad men for an increase of the
commission freight rates. Some time
since ac omplaint was filed with the
commission that the roads could not
operate save with a loss under the
present rates of commission. The
meeting this morning was to hear the
reasons why. Judge Terry, of the
Santa Fe, presented long written
statement from the various roads
complaining of rates and showing how
they could not exist under them.
Judge Reagan said that as this was
a very important question, all the
statements must be sworn to. Judge
Terry said this would take some time
and suggested an adjournment until
next Tuesday, which was done. On
Tuesday all auditors books will be in
troduced as sworn testimony and on
the suggestion of the Denison and
of the Galveston freight bureau, COM
moditieS on which rates are now too
low will probably be enumerated SO
that shippers will have an opportuni-
ty to appear in defense.

to laugh at and he laughed. Then he
consulted with the court officials, but

time being.-New York Letter.
