In North Texas.

DALLAS. Tex, Sept. $3.50 far as north
Texas is concerned the quarantine situa-
ton is said to be distinctly better. The
diagnosis of the case at Victoria showing
1t to be a dengue, and reported statements
of prominent physicians at Houston that
the case there is dengue, have in a measure
reassured the public. But in the southern
section of the State the scare has abated
little, if any. DR.. Swearingen, State health
officer, has officially declared off the quar-
antine against Beaumont, though he still
insists that the Houston case shall remain
isolated until thorough diagnosis can be
had. Train service south of Houston, and
in fact, all over south Texas, is badly de-
moralized. The International & Great
Northern and the Houston & Texas Central
have taken off their night trains, and but
little freight is moving. AT nearly one hun
dred stations passenger trains are not al
lowed to stop, and sales of tickets to those
places has been discontinued, and freight
from stated points is only allowed to land
The loss to business has been enormous
Much is expected from the approaching
visit of DR.. Guiteras, as nothing less than
the positive assurance of an eminent ex-
pert such as he will allay public fear.

ter On the facts set forth in that testi-
mony the department has revoked its order
for the reinstatement of Brophy It is said
at the department that this carrier
removed for alleged act of boisterousness

prove the case to the satisfaction of tho
inspector. The subsequent proof submitted

izer and constant source OF discord in the
office Whether true or not. the department.

morrow evening.
The committee of Pomona Grange
wish it to be stated to the general pub

named are not exclusively for farmers.
On the contrary. the Institutes are ed
vocational and informing conventions OF
1yceums, held and promoted by farm
ers and the State University for all the
people. no matter what their callings
The committee is, therefore, very de-
sirous that there should be a large at
tendance at each session of the APP
preaching Institute by the people of
Sacramento, and they emphasize their
invitation with an earnestness the sin
cerity of which cannot be mistaken.
They say that a large attendance will
greatly encourage and enliven the pro-
ceedings, and will be taken by the
Grange and the State University as a
sign Of hearty approval of these edu-
eationaI processes. for which the In
stitutes are called.

TO HONOR A HERO
A Statue of the Great Won rIoltke to
be Erected at Breslau.

There will shortly be erected in the
city of Breslau noteworthy memorial,
which Will form a fitting addition TO
the monument lately completed there
in honor of the Emperor William L.,
in which the people of the province of
Schleswig expressed their reverence
for the character and their acknowl-
edgement Of the achievements of the
great Kaiser. The new memorial will
commemorate Won Moltke, another
fluenced so notably the destinies of
TO the war of 1S1071.
Born in the year 1900, at Parchim,
Mecklenburg, his father, Danish Cen
eral, had him educated in the cadets
academy at Copenhagen. At the age
of eighteen he became an officer. In
1922 he entered the Prussian service,
and after ten years arduous study and
labor was admitted to the general
staff In 1885 he went to CONSTANT
nople, where the then Sultan, Nah
mould H., formed SO high an opinion OF
his genius that he persuaded the Prus-
sian authorities to allow Won Moltke
to direct the improvements to the for
tifications of the Turkish cities most
in need of them, and also in the war
against the Kurds and against Egypt
After the death of the Sultan, in
1889, he returned to Berlin, was en-
and in 1856 became Adjutant of Prince
William, and in 1858 Chief of Staff OF
the army The rank of Lieutenant
General was conferred upon him in
1899. He was responsible for the
plan of campaign and the principal en-
counters of Prussia with Denmark IN
1864 and Austria in 1866 accompany
ms Prince Frederick Charles to Den
mark and King William to Austria.
After the battel of Sadowa Won Moltke
made every preparation for marching
on Olmutz and Vienna, but negotiated
a five days truce, which became the
prelude to peace.
Having long contemplated the con-
tingency of a war with France, he was
ready with his plans when it suddenly
broke out in 1870 and their execution
resulted in the most astonishing and
uninterrupted series of victories ever
achieved by one great military nation
over another His system consisted
mainly in making the different corps of
the army advance separately but oper-
ate simultaneously in graphing with
the enemy.
His mind was of singular calmness,
his logical powers We're wonderful, and
he had capacity of high order for
patient research. Like many of the
famous generals of classic antiquity.
and others of less remote date-for ex-
ample, Seylitz, Butcher, York and Gen
esian-he had his "tusculum," where
he could commune with nature in the
silent wilds of his private park, his be-
Owed Creisan: and there he found his
final resting place.-NeW York Herald

A GREAT WHEEL DAY.
Yesterdays Bicycle Turnout
Public Spirited Farmer.

Yesterday morning at $50 o'clock the
Capital City Wheelmen had a club run
on the Folsom wheelway under the di-
rection of Captain Roundey, who is
promptness itself, for those who ap-
peared at $40 found that the procession
| had moved.
| In Captain Roundey's group there
We're over forty wheels. Others fell in
| up to noon, when over 200 wheelmen
! had taken to the path. OF these 125
went no farther than Patterson's, while
/ 10 pushed on to Folsom, having to walk
! the trestle at Alder Creek, as the club s
| bridge is not yet replaced.
| 1t was fine run out and the wheel

| historian, and a lightweight, had a
| miX-up beyond Perkins and stood on
| their heads and moved their legs in air
awhile. They got up to find two wheels
wrecked, but just in time to catch the
early train home.
| Near Fay's one lively wheelman was

leap over the gutter and landed attends
up in much disorder. He spent the rest
of the forenoon repairing damages, and

broken.
Aside from these mishaps the 200 and

The new stretches of path We're found
| soft, but they will be all right in a day
| or two more, says Superintendent Pugh,
who is anxious to know what wheelman

that whoever did that would be able to
| butt the bulls of Bashan off of a bridge.
| At Perkins William Davis was met, to
whom all wheelmen lift their hats Mr..
Davis is a prosperous. public-spirited
| farmer living between Perkins and
| Florin. Desiring to have the pleasure
of seeing wheemen spin along by his

trumpets about it, cut a wheelway from
the Jackson road, near Perkins, to
| Florin, three miles, along a narrow road
that is not travelled so much as is the
| Stockton highway. 1t is rough now, be-
cause the ground was soft and pulled"
under the road machine. But Mr. Davis

From Florin TO New Elk Grove there
is broad road in pretty good order,
with plenty of room for a wheelway on

Elk Grove people, If they are so moved
to act, and complete Mr.. Davis wheel

through a well settled and fine country

The Splitting Habit.

When Sir Richard Burton visited, in
Disguise the exclusive city of Harar.
and was carried before the Amir. he
observed, among other things, that
though the Amir expectorated with
royal freedom, he was not provided
with q spittoon, but spat upon the
robes of his attendant chamberlains.
1t is a matter of very general and ia
miliar remark that the average Ameri-
can splits quite as freely and with al
most as much autocratic carelessness
as the Amir of Harar. If he does not
Intentionally spit on the clothes of his
neighbors he splits with magnificent in
Indifference to his neighborS' reasonable
desire to keep clear of his expectora-
tons. He Spits wherever he happens
to be-On the pavement, on the floors
of public buildings, in halls, entries and
elevators, and especially in all public
cOnveyances.
There is a movement afoot to amend
this very Objectionable habit, and es-
pecially to put a stop to the abomina-
BILE practice of splitting in street cars.
In New York the Board Of Health has
forbidden it, and it's notices are posted
in the surface cars. The boards man
date is not as yet effectual. but the
public has begun to be familiar with 1t,
and through it many citizens have for
the first time had it suggested to them
that miscellaneous splitting is not nice.
Conductors of street cars are bound to
enforce the splitting ordinance if their
attention is called to a violation of it.
Commissioner Roosevelt says that the
police Will help them, and that present
ly a number of policemen will be de-
tailed expressly to see that the ordi-
nance is obeyed. 1t is important that
public opinion should sustain the police
in this undertaking. Consider the brut-
ishness Of the splitting habit as it exists
in this country Every decent citizen
should do what he can to amend it,
both by correcting his own habits, if
they need be, and by supporting the en-
forcement Of the law-Harper's Weekly.
