Randolph's Grand List and Heavy Tax

The grand list this year is s21 ,2l9 90.
Last year it was 81, 51032. The loss is
mainly in the personal property column.
Northfield bank stock has always been
appraised at S100 per share. This bank
has paid no interest for three years and u
conformity with the action of the listers
in other towns it is appraised at $50 per
share and the same reduction is made on
Bethel bank stock for the same reason.
There are some items OF debts due, rang
ing from IS, 900 to $4,000 lost, and have
been some gains. There has been loss
on real estate by exemption Of Prince mill
property, now owned by Chadwick Bros,
by vote OF town, and A. b. Tewksbury
homestead, now the Baptist church par
sonage On the whole the list is very sat
isfactory and the town may be congratu-
lated on no greater falling off under the
circumstances. There are SID polls this
year against $50 last.

LANDLORDS AND TENANTS.
Trouble Brewing Between Them in Nc
Clennan County.

Trouble Brewing Between Them in Nc
Clennan County.
Landlords in McClennan
county are considerably worked
up over the turn matters
have taken in regard to rents of
farms. The determination of
tenants in certain localities tonot
pay money rents is becoming
serious.
Just below Waco it is reported
the renters union has a member
ship of 125. They are determined
to resist every landlord who
holds his property for money rent.
1t is said the organization of
renters propose to use the strap
on those who agree to pay money
rent and also on those who favor
it.
The following is the latest
anonymous letter sent out by the
organization:
'Dear Sir-We understand
that you have rented land at 81
per acre. Now, we ask you to
countermand that TRACE, as we
don't intend that such prices
shall be paid, and we guarantee
you land at So per acre or one
third and one-fourth. We ask
this of you in kindness, as you
know, and the landlord knows it
is too much, for if we can work
the land and live on two thirds
and three-fourths, then they can
certainly live on one-third and
one-fourth. Now then, if you
both want to live and look
well, you all change your trade.
P. S.-Don't get any negroes
on your place as they can not
stay. Please take heed to this
and save further trouble

STABBED SEVEN TINES.
A PRAIRIE HILL TRAGEDY WE'D
NESDAY MORNING NEARLY
FATAL.
Louis Jeske, the Victim, Fritz Steinke,
Assailant; Pocket Knife the
Weapon.

Louis Jeske, a farmer lad of
Prairie Hill neighborhood, gotin-
to difficulty Wednesday morn
ing by which he received ahalf
dozen or more lifetime scars, lost
considerable blood and came near
losing his life. AS it is he has
gone into the hands of the doc
tors for a good, long siege, and
resembles to some extent Wey-
ler's trocha after the insurgents
had driven a heard of cattle over
it, being considerably cut up.
DR.. James Bartlett, who dressed
his wounds, says they are seven
in number, covering both arms,
one shoulder, his back and
breast, nose and face. They. are
not deep, however, and with
careful nursing the young man
will pull through in time to be-
gin spring blowing.
Fritz Steinke was the assailant
and the weapon with which he
did such wholesale execution was
an ordinary pocket knife.
The row occurred on the Bren-
ham and Prairie Hill road. The
casus belli has not been deter
mined, but it is stated that Jeske
started the row, and did not dis
cover that he had gone uE
against the wrong man until the
slicing process got action on him
to the extent indicated. A box Of
arnica and spool of thread have
set him partly to rights, and 1t is
thought he will not give circular
saw more than three rounds the
start next time he goes after
| be-lood.

Mr.. VIM. c. Henderson and Miss Toy
Jackson Married at Burton.
Mr.. VIM. c. Henderson, of
BRENNAN, and Miss Toy Jackson
were married at IL o'clock, We'd
nesday morning, Oct. goth, at
Burton. The ceremony occurred
at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
W. B. Francis, the latter being
a sister of the bride with whom
she has resided for several years.
The beautiful ceremony of the
Episcopal ritual was used for
solemnizing the happy event and
was impressively rendered by
Rev. George Lloyd, rector of st.
Peters church of this city. Only
relatives and particular friends
of the contracting parties wit
messed the ceremony. At its
conclusion Mr.. and Mrs. Hen
derson departed for Austin on
the westbound Central. They
will visit a number of Texas
cities and probably take in the
Dallas Fair. The bridal tour
over Mr.. and Mrs. Hender-
son viii on their re-
turn to Brennan be tempor-
arily domiciled at the residence
of Captain j. T. Shelby, pending
ing the completion of housekeep-
ing arrangements.
The BANNER extends congratu-
tons and best wishes to Mr.. and
Mrs. Henderson. The bride is a
cultured, gracious lady, with all
the charms of face, mind and
heart that make young woman
hood so admirable. She will be a
welcome addition to the ranks of
Brenham's social circles and
will find abundant evidences of
welcome and appreciation upon
her arrival here.
The groom, one of the popular
members of the Brennan bar
having achieved that distiction
during his short residence in this
city-is esteemed professionally
and socially as highly as any
practitioner and citizen who re-
sides here, and it affords the
BANNER much pleasure to say
that the esteem in which he is
held is deserved in every par
ticular.

AUTUmN's YELLOW AND GOLD.
What Botanists Do and Do Not Know
About Leaves.

What Botanists Do and Do Not Know
About Leaves.
Probably not 1 person in 1000
knows just why leaves change
their color in the fall" remarked
an eminent botanist the other
day. "The green matter in the
tissues of a leaf is composed Of
two colors-red and blue. When
the sap ceases to flow in the au-
tumn the natural growth of the
tree is retarded and oxidation OF
the tissue takes place. Under
certain conditions the green OF
the leaf changes to red; under
different aspects it takes on a
yellow or brown hue. The diff
ference in the color is due to the
difference in combinations of the
original constituents of the green
tissues and to the varying condi-
ton of climate, exposure and soil.
A dry, hot climate, produces
more brilliant foliage than one
that is damp and cool. This is
the reason that American au~
tumns are so much more gorge
Gus than those of England and
Scotland.
"There are several things
about leaves, however, that even
science can not explain. For in
stance, why one of two trees
growing side by side, of the same
exposure, should take on bril-
liant red in the fall and the other
should turn yellow, or why one
branch of a tree should be highly
colored and the rest of the tree
have only a yellow tint are ques-
tons that are as impossible to
answer as why one member of
family should be perfectly healthy
and another sickly. Naples and
oaks have the brightest colors.
'fPeople should be careful not
to touch the gorgeous red and
yellow autumn leaves or shrubs
and climbing plants which are
not known to be harmless. Our
two poisonous native plants dis
play the most brilliant autumnaI
colors of any species in our
woods and highways. The pois-
onous sumach resembles a group
OF young ash trees. The poison
Gus ivy resembles the harmless
woodbine. Its leaves, however,
have but three leaflets, while
those of the woodbine have five.''

GOUGED HIS EYE OUT.

Eye From ChlSel IN the HANDS
of His Sister, Mary-Carried
to Austin For Treatment.
A distressing accident over
took Hermann, the three-year-
old son of Mr.. Hermann LANCE,
of Prairie Hill, Wednesday
morning. The elder LANCE is a
blacksmith by trade, and his
shop, near the family residence,
is a favorite play place for the
children.
Wednesday morning Mary,
aged four, and Hermann, aged
three, were playing around the
work bench as usual. The ia
Their, busy with his many duties,
especially pressing at this time of
year, had forgotten the presence
of the little tots until the screams
of the little boy attracted his at
tention. Mingling with the tears
which the excruciating pain had
drawn from the little fellows
eyes was a stream of blood, and
an examination showed that the
right eye was dreadfully injured
il not permanently destroyed by
a chisel cut which the little sis
ter had accidently given, while
she and her small brother were
playing with the tools.
DR.. Bartlett was at once sent
for. After examining the hurt
the doctor decided to place the
little sufferer under the treat
ment of DR.. Hillgartner, the cell
ebrated Austin occulist, and left
for Austin on the 2 O'Clock
Thursday morning passenger. II
is hoped that skillful treatment
will restore the sight, but the
chances are against it.
