HOUSTON was visited by
heavy wind and rain storm last
Wednesday, which the Post de-
scribes as d "whizzer and a
hummer" the wind blowing
from all points of the compass,
twisting around as though on a
swivel, churning the rain in al
directions. The principal dam
age was confined to the business
portion of the city where numer-
Gus window lights, cornices and
roofs and signs were more or
less damaged. A large portion
of the tin covering Of The roof of
the Capitol hotel was loosened
near the cornice and rolled up,
leaving a space of fifty square
feet, through which the rain
found its way in a number of the
rooms on the top floor of the ho-
tel. A large section of the tin
rolled over the cornice on the
Texas avenue side and fell with a
crash upon the balcony below.
The next most serious damage
was the blowing in of an entire
section of window frame on the
Fannin street side of the court
house, carrying frame, glass and
all, crashing into the civil dis
trict court room, removing the
entire section of the frame work,
including number of windows,
as smoothly as though the work
had been done by an expert ear
penter. The heavy frame work
and glass falling into the district
court room, broke up a lot of
furniture.

BRYANITES NON-RESPECTORS O
law

DR.. Andrew White Draper,
president of the University OF
Illinois, delivered the commence
ment address at Ann Harbor,
Mich. We did not see DR.. ORA
per's address, but the Louisville
Courier-Journal says of the ad-
dress:
Socialism and anarchy, Dr..
Draper thinks, are not the great
est dangers, because he regards
them as unsuited to our soil.
What alarms him is the indica-
ton that the great masses of our
citizens are losing their respect
for law, their old confidence in
the government. AS evidence of
this he cites the riots of 1894, the
Chicago platform of 1896, and the
large vote for Bryan last fall.
He even thinks that many who
did not vote for Bryan entertain
ed the idea that legislation is
made in favor of the rich, and
that men who live by the sweat
of their brows do not have a fair
show in the courts"
Commenting on the above par
agraph the Weatherford Demo-
crat says:
GA man who would express
himself thus in the face of recent
events in congress does so with
disregard for the truth that is
worthy of applause. That leg
Station is made in favor of the
rich is proven by an examination
of the proposed tariff bill.
But aside from that part of his
remarks, he says he is alarmed
at the large vote cast for Bryan
last fall. We presume from the
way it is written he is alarmed
for the safety of the government.
If such be the case a visit to
Texas by Mr.. Draper would prove
to him how groundless is his
alarm.
Mr.. Draper may be good man
and he may be sincere, but in
our mind the man that distrusts
the voters who stood by Mr.. Bry-
an is more to be feared than
anarchy, socialism or the other
evils that haunt the
learned gentleman.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infam you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the re-
suit. and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its norma
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten ara caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any

Go to School in Texas.

Many young people in Texas ars
now investigating the merits of
various schools and colleges pre-
paTatory to entering some one of
them the coming autumn to COM
plete their education.
To ali such we would say: Don't
overlook Texas educational institu-
tons. The catalogues of colleges
in other States may show up big,
well equipped school located in i'm
mense buildings and on beautiful
grounds. These things are all
very nice and to be sought after, but
we must remember that these insti-
buttons had a small beginning.
In almost every institution IN
Texas you will find in charge men
and women well fitted to lead you
in your search for knowledge and
the school itself well equipped.
There are few native born Texans
who are not proud of their nativity,
and all the young men and women
of Texas who are seeking higher
education we would advise them to
attend Texas college. Let your
patriotism prompt you here as it
does in many things and Texas will
come out ahead and in after life
when asked where you received your
education you can proudly say in a
Texas college.-Weatherford Dem
ocrat.

THE Napa Journal says: Mrs.
Phoebe A. Hearst, widow of the
late Senator George Hearst, has
been appointed by Governor
Budd a regent OF the State Uni
versity, to succeed the late Col.
Charles F. Croker. This is the
first time a lady has ever been
appointed on the board, and her
selection is an appropriate recog-
milton of the great interest Mrs.
Hearst has taken in educational
matters, and particularly of her
generosity manifested in many
ways toward the University of
California.

THB NEW GOLD FIELDS.


The San Francisco Post thinks
the fabulous stories of gold dis
coveries in the Yukon country
ought to be relieved every now
and then with one which pictures
the disappointments of some of
the men who have journeyed
there and returned empty hand
ed. We have yet failed to find a
single individual who has emerg-
ed from the Klondyke region
without a load of the precious
metal upon his person. This is
in accordance with the general
trend of human enthusiasm, it is
true, but to the mind of a man
who thinks, stories of cloud of
lucky prospectors without a sin
gle one who has failed to acquire
wealth, are homogeneous, if moth
ing else. What we should have
is prospector or two who has
made 50 a day; every one should
not make S25 day and upwards.
Gold excitement always turns
mems heads. When the news
reached the Eastern States that
John Marshall had picked up a
nugget in the bed of the Ameri-
can river, large numbers of
young men swarmed to Califor-
MIA. But they came to a country
upon which nature had smiled
for many ages before the golden
smile had wreathed' her features.
The hills of California swarmed
with cattle, and all the earth
needed, as one of our poets has
said, was to be tickled with water
in order to burst into heavenly
laughter. When the mines peter
ed out, the Argonauts had only
to move down into the valleys,
build railroads and cities and lay
the foundations of an enduring
commonwealth. None of them
intended to make California his
home when he set sail in 1049,
but most of them wound up by
doing so, because they found life
pleasant and healthful here.
With the Yukon country, how
ever, things are altogether differ
ent. That is an inhospitable land,
where the search for gold is at
tended with unexampled hard
ships and privations. Snow
covers the ground for nine
months in the year and work in
the "diggings" is accompanied |
during the other three months
with many difficulties. When a |
man travels 1000 miles overland
to the Klondyke region he risks
his life and future happiness, in
this world at least, upon the sin
gle die of fortune. He may come
back with a few dollars, but if he
does so he will earn every one of
them.
The Yukon country is no place
for man without means and a
splendid constitution. The
traders and steamship lines will
make more money out of the ex-
citement than the miners. If the
reporters who are writing up
these gold fields would, instead
of raving over the successful
prospectors, interview a few of
those who have gone there and
are still undergoing the hardships
without finding nuggets, they
would do our impressionable peo-
pie a decided service.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer learns
that the miners in the Klondyke
country are in great distress,
though they have gold. What
they want is something to eat
and wear. This is another illus
tration of the truth that money is
of no value to anybody till he
buys something with it. He can
not eat it. He cannot wear it.
He cannot take it for medicine.
According to the theory of the
monometallists who have under
taken to destroy one of the
money metals of all time, gold
has intrinsic value, and silver
has not. Intrinsic value" if
we admit there is such a thing,
will not buy clothes, meat and
medicine if the articles are not
there. Property is the thing.
Money is a creation of govern
ment for convenience in exchang-
ing commodities. In point OF
fact, we are bartering all the
time. A dollar is a mere certfi-
cate that somebody owes you a
certain quantity of property.
