DON'T.

Don't, eat fish in a hurry unless
life has lost its charms.
Don't sit with your back to a
sight draft. 1t might get too
warm for you.
Don't wear your bathing suit
to Christmas party just to show
folks that you have one.
Don't make a fool of yourself
if you are a man; there's lots of
women who will do it much bet
ter.
Don't swear before your wife.
A gentleman will always give
his wife a chance to swear first.
Don't think that when woman
gets her rights she will be a
mans equal. She'll be his boss.
Don't refuse to argue with a
woman. OF course, it doesn't
do a particle of good, but it af-
fords her lot of pleasure.

Gin Burned.

Mr.. o. L. Schultz, a gentle
man from Wesley, was in the city
yesterday, and relates the loss
of Mr.. JOS. Adamek's gin by fire
Tuesday night.
The gin was located on the
road from Greenvine to Wesley,
and was a modern structure with
the latest machinery and appli-
ances. The fire occurred about
Z o'clock, and took but a short
while to reduce it to a smoldering
ruin, The origin of the blaze
was unknown. The loss is esti-
mated at 81, 800. No particulars
as to insurance could be
obtained.

THE sEALY TERMINAL.
Will be moved and that Quick, Says Cen
eral Manager Polk.

eral Manager Polk.
The Sealy quarantine was Sc
verely punctured Wednesday BY
the fine Italian hand of Genera
Manager Polk of the Santa Fe
and its harsh requirements are
considerably modified. 1t came
about in this wise Sealy hac
established a shot gun quaran-
tine and proposed to prevent al
trains from stopping in the city
limits. The Santa Fe round
house is there and the unnecess
-sary quarantine requirements
were working a great hardship
on the company's interests. Cen
eral Manager Polk was apprised
of the trend of affairs, and he
sent the citizens of Sealy a mes
sage the purport of which was
that if Sealy would not allow the
company to do their terminal
work there the company would
move their terminals and do it
quick. This came like thunder
clap from clear sky. A con-
sultation was called with the re-
suit that the quarantine was mod
flied to the extent of allowing
trains to coal and water.
Sealy's extremity is Brenham's
opportunity. We have been want
ing that round house for some
time and now is good time to
renew overtures for securing it.
Let's extend Col. Polk an invita-
ton to come to BRENNAN with his
terminals and make himself at
home.

CHEAP GAS PLANT.
The Han Chemical Company Endorsed by
the Houston Investigating Com

ell of Brennan granted a fran
chise to the Hall Chemical COM
pany for establishing a gas plant
at this place. Recently a COM
mittee of business men, Judge
w. P. Hamblen and Mr.. W. L.
Macatee of Houston and Mr..
Frank Haubelt of BRENNAN were
sent to Kalamazoo, Michigan, to
investigate a plant which the
company had there. The Houston
committee have made their re-
port from which the following
extracts are taken:
On Wednesday, the 10th of
September 1897, we we're joined
by Mr.. F. Haubelt, appointed
and charged with a like duty by
the city council of Brennan, and
together proceeded to fulfill our
mission.
On September Is we reached
Kalamazoo, Mich, a town of 25,-
600 inhabitants, and a point
where the Hall process is being
used and has been in operation
since the 1st of April, the current
year. We found there that a
company had been chartered and
organized under the name of
Kalamazoo Heat, Light and Pow
er company, with a capital stock
of $3.50, 900. : We called up
on Mr.. Marvel, the president,
who is one of the leading manu-
facturers and citizens of Kalama-
zoo, whose high character at
home and the surrounding coun-
try is sufficient assurance for his
statements; he is brother of
Alvin Marvel, late president of
the Santa Fe system, in honor of
whom the towns of Alvin and
Marvel, Brazoria county, are
named, and to him we acknowl-
edged many courtesies : The
Hall system is claimed to be an
electric process by which through
the fundamentally of electrodes
a fixed gas is produced through
a continuous process from the
hydrogen of the air, combined
with crude oil. The explanation
is very technical and will not be
attempted by US, as we were in
vestigating results only. We
visited the factory at the time
when the gas was made-5 p. m.
witnessed 81. rs. Z feet of
gas produced in SO minutes
The gas is stored in
holder as ordinary coal gas and
its distribution is the same,
through the pipes and meters,
for all purposes, viz: Light,
heat and power all the same
price. The company charges for
5000 feet or less per month, so
cents net per thousand, and for
each additional 1000 feet used
per month a reduction of 1 cent
per thousand; for more than %,
900 feet 80 cents net per thous-
and. A plant for 100000 per
day can be erected at Houton for
SAC, 900, exclusive of mains.
Among the places visited that
use the Hall process gas were:
Richmond's restaurant, large
saw our own dinner cook
ed; used coal gas until June 81
at cost of S1.25, since has used
electric at saving rs per cent. ]
Ezra Bakers laundry, used
coal gas to June, 1897, at cost of
$40 per month, since then electric
gas at $3.50 per month for same
service.
American hotel, first class,
over fifty guests-Uses largest
range; cooks to order and finds
it 25 per cent cheaper than wood
Or coal.
If the human senses can be re-
lied on we believe the gas of the
Hall process is beyond the ex-
detrimental stage, and that sys-
tenn is now in full force as a gas
producing system for the pur-
poses of light, head and power
delivered through the same pipes

Cropping Them Prevents the Animals

 Any one who has heard the mega phone must have wondered at the ex- traordinary power of increasing sound that is produced by form. and would like to call attention to one point in connection with cutting dogs ears that do not remember to have seen men toned anywhere = that is, from an acoustic standpoint
 have lately purchased 8 small York shire terrier imported from England only q few months ago. Its ears were clipped i'll England after what the seller of the dog declared to be 'the very lat est style.
 The ears were first clipped and then stitfened up with three effects on the dog;
 First That the buzz of bee or fly causes him to retreat under cover of safety.
 Second. That he ducks his head when about to be patted, sure sign of the length of time the pain of the oper- alton must have lasted
 Third -(An effect had not expect ed.) That he has absolutely no idea of the direction of sound
 In the ears of a mastiff dog any one who observes the she'll like form of the ear opening may easily imagine the im- mense power of such trumpetlike. in- strument to increase the volume of sound. A change ill the acoustieal ar- engagement of the flap of the ear would necessarily entirely puzzle and bewilder the owner as to the direction of sound. and this one point OH ear cutting would seem of itself to condemn the practice. --Onr Animal Friends

 The Ghicaeo Inter Ocean becomes both sarcastic and indignant when any one questions the purity of it's diotion.

 Inolosed with the following letter, received q few days ago, were two clip pings from the society columns of The Inter Ocean:

 JAMES CAMPBELL
 There is no doubt you mean well, Jim, but term ill night school would be beneficial even to you before you be- gin to give lessons in English. To begin with, you would be taught there that our grandfather, Lindley Murray, al ways told us to use periods. You ought to have known Lindley, Jim. He was distinguished gramnarian, you know, or perhaps you don't know.
 And then, Jim, there was Tennyson. He said of a heroine ill one of his poems that she was agowned ill pure white. . So you see Lord Tennyson found the word 'gownedn to be useful long be- fore you learned to walk steady on your hind feet or to eat with your front hoofs Webster says gowned' means dressed ill gown; clad.
 You say that these barbarians caught your eye, ]" and you fail to mention which eye they caught. How is the other eye?
 You are right when you say that our society editor is either male or q fe- male Do you belong to one of these sexes? We suspect not. When you write again. spell merely" as it should be. The way you spelled it is like spelling your name "camel' instead of Camp bell. " See that hump?
 We don't like to offend your sensitive ear, or the other one either, Jim. Buy Webster's Dictionary and q fourth read CT Start right, and your sensitive ear may outgrow it's affiiction.
