GEORGETOWN BOOMLETS.

Georgetown, Texas, Jan. Especial.
The heavy rains have put the ground
in excellent condition and farmers are
in better condition to start off with
early crops than for several years.
The heavy rain and lightning STAN
peded the cattle that were penned for
feeding purposes and scattered them
for several miles. They have all
been rounded up without the loss of
a single head.
Edward p. Crum, aged 60, died last
night of heart disease.
He had been in the general merchan-
disc business in North Georgetown for
a number of years. He was a native
of Georgia.
District court opened Monday, with
Judge Brooks on the bench, Attorney
Burleson, prosecutor, and a full dock
ct. The most important case to come
up this term is the Jay Owens case
for incest, charged by his daughter.
He was found guilty, the penalty be-
ing death, at the last term, but the
court of appeals reversed the decis-
ion.

TELEPHONE
SHORT STOPS.

What The People Are Saying.
The people may as well make up
their minds that there will be no
real reform in city government so
long as the offices are filled by men
who buy their places.
We must stop the Doodle business
or go on until there comes a time
when reputation will take the place
Of an honest effort to maintain our
credit as city.
Nothing can be expected from a city
administration that has purchased it's
faw to office, by money, promises, or
the use of public patronage.
Men who buy their offices have no
respect for the people; they naturally
use their offices to recover their in
as long as the taxpayer has to suf
fer.
Men who pay a certain sum to get
on ticket indirectly purchases votes
and are guilty Of perjury when they
take the oath of office.
1t is thought that to purchase Mex
lean voters is not a violation Of the
law because they are not legal voters,
but this will not hold in law.
If the Mexican is not eligible then
any one elected by the Mexican is not
eligible.
The very first reform the people
must undertake is to vote down the
city and county official combines.

CRUSADING FOR CHRIST.

Chicago, Jan. 5.-Dwight l.. Moody,
who has stirred the east with his re-
vival services in New York, Philadel-
phia and Boston, seeks to extend the
movement to Chicago. His licuten-
ants. in this city have sounded the
ministers of different denominations
and with their encouragement have
called a meeting for next Wednesday
in the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton auditorium.
1t is not expected that Mr.. Moody
himself will conduct the meetings
which will probably follow this con.
ference. The evangelist began last
night a series of meetings in Boston,
which are expected to continue
through January and February. For
the month following this a strong de-
mand for his presence is made in Gin
cinnati. Advocates of q revival in
this city desire to proceed at once
while religion is sweeping the coun-
try.
The proposal of those interested is
to make the gatherings in the differ
ent churches this week, which is the
annual week Of prayer, preliminary
union services. The interest thus
aroused It is expected will affect the
entire city and eliminate in mass
meetings.

PERKINS CLAIMS THE SEAT.

Sacramento, Cal, Jan. 5.-The sena-
torial fight is the all absorbing topic
of conversation about the headquar-
tiers of the law makers. If mems sig
natures amount to aught, then the
fight is all over and the supporters
of Perkins have nothing left to do but
the shouting.
Fifty-eight names have been attach
ed to the petition which has been cir
culated among the members of both
houses by the Perkins forces and it
is claimed that the necessary number
of votes required to reflect the sen
ator have been secured and more are
coming.

San Francisco, Jan. 5.-After eight

hydraulic system of dredging. His pat
ent is entitled to a broad construction

SPANISH CHAT.
VERY FRIENDLY WITH UNCLE
SAM, BUT SORRY.
A United States Consul Who Talks Too
Much Through His
Hat.

New York, Jan. "a dispatch TO
the Herald from Malaga, Spain, says:
The sentiment of this part of Anda-
lusia is best expressed by the words
of Senior Antonio Canovas y Vallejo,
the civil governor of the province of
Malaga, and nephew of Premier Can
ovas Del Castillo.
Thinking people of SPAIN" he said,
have only a friendly feeling for
Americans, but the revolution in Gu
ba must be put down before any over
ture looking toward settlement of
the trouble be received from the Unit
ed States. Only after Il decided
victory in Cuba would these advances
now be received"
''Why do the Spanish people feel
'disinclined to let the United States
interfere?" was asked.
Because the United States has been
the fountain head for all the supplies
of the filibusterS. If the United States
government will stop all these expedl-
lions and put down the junta, which
manages Cuban affairs in New York
and Washington, the Spanish govern
country is friendly. l am soITy to
see your papers constantly exciting
the people to aid the Cubans. The
United States should rather help us
to put down rebellions,"
rs there any hostility here to
Americans who have made their home
in Spain?"
None whatever among the better
classes and the government at Madrid
is ready to protect them at all haZ-
ards. could show you kilograms
from Madrid. which l have in my
desk, instructing me to expose my life
if necessary in defending the Ameri-
can consul These instructions Were
sent to all the governors"
Il walked on the streets with Mr..
David n. Burks, the American con-
sui, when the people here became eN-
cited last year and ordered anyone
who should assault him to be shot on
the spot"
SPANS penal colony in Africa IS OPP
posite Malaga, across the Mediterra-
mean. Twenty prisoners were brought
here yesterday for transportation,
having been shipped from Cuba to
Cadiz. People gathered along the
quay in thousands and lined streets
as the Cubans were led to the boats.
There was no hoOting. no rabble jeer-
ed and it seemed as if the Spaniards
really pity them.
Mr.. Walter c. Bevan, an American
merchant. who is a most extensive
shipper of fruit from this port, was
asked if he thought the Spanish peO-
pie would respond again as readily as
before if another loan was asked
Most certainly I do" was Mr.. Be-
vans reply.
"The Spanish people have learned
to become very self-reliabt since the
trouble with Cuba has developed
their natural resources SO wonderful
". I find them very courteous.
Business has been better during the
past year than for some time. because
of the fine fruit crop. Malaga's bust
ness with Cuba was better because Of
the large number of troops there to
I've supplied. Since the jingo talk in
the United States Spaniards have de-
termined to secure all needed supplies
from Spain and to buy nothing in
America"

EDITOR hrCULLOGH'S WILL.

ST. Louis, Jan. 5.-JoS. b. Mccullough
late editor of the Globe-Democrat, left
no will and his estate, now in the
hands of DR.. VIM. G. Richardson, the
public administrator, will be divided
between seven sets of heirs, part of
whom live in Dublin, ireland. These
heirs consist Of Mrs. Rachael Sutor,
a sister, living in Brooklyn; another
sister living in Dublin, the sister of
five brothers and sisters who are dead.
John C. Young and little Gladis Nc
Cullogh, the adopted daughter of Jno.
w. Mccullough, the editors favOrite
brother, are the only heirs living in
this city. The others, so far as their
names could be learned, are Wm.Arm-
strong, nephew, living in Chicago;
Sarah Rankin and Fanny Holtz, chill
dren Of a sister now deceased, who
lived in Brooklyn, and the children OF
another sister, who died in Dublin
several years ago.
DIR. Richardson has formally taken
possession Of the estate. A conserva-
tive estimate of the value of the es-
tate is $4,000, which, divided among
seven sets of heirs, will give each
about $4,000. Among the dead edi-
tors papers were found stock in sew
eral mining companies with face
value of 100000. The real value,
however, is comparatively little.

AGAINST THE FUNDING BILLS


Sacramento, Cal, Jan. 5.-In the as
Sembly, Belshaw has introduced a
resolution instrueting California's del
egation in Congress to work against
all Pacific railroad refunding bills,and
in lieu thereof to favor legislation
providing for the foreclosure and sale
Of the roads upon condition that the
government shall bid in roads and
operate them as a national enterprise
for the benefit of the public. Cam
inetti offered a substitute, opposing
all extensions of Pacific road debts
requesting senators and representa-
tives in Congress to use all honorable
means to defeat the funding bill; IA
voring the immediate collection of
railroad debts and in event such debts
cannot be collected, favoring the en-
forcement of the existing laws of the
United States concerning Pacific
roads. The Caminettti substitute al
so provides for a committee of nine
members, three from the assembly,
and three citizens to be appointed by
the governor, such committee to pro-
coed to Washington to work against
the passage of any funding bill. Both
resolutions were referred to a COM
mittee.
