They Loot the Depot and Invade the Resi-
dence of Theodore Wolf.
Two or more vandals, believed
to be tramps, broke into the Santa
Fe depot at Gay Hill Wednesday
night and helped themselves to
SIS in cash, an express package
containing a 81 pair of pants,
and an express pouch.
After sacking the valuables
they entered the residence of
Theodore Wolf and made off with
dressed chicken and a supply
of cold bread.
Mr.. Wolf came to town early
Thursday morning after officers
and the county dogs. The dogs
were not obtainable as they are
with the county convicts. Sheriff
league went up on the noon train
to investigate the matter. As
sisted by parties there the sheriff
succeeded in tracing the thieves
about mile from town and found
where they had cooked breakfast.
The express pouch was found at
this place. The direction taken
by the thieves after finishing
their morning meal could not be
determined, and the sheriff thinks
their capture exceedingly doubt
full.

That County Fair.

In response to the call Of Chief
Eversberg about a dozen mem
bers of the fire department met
at Giddings Hall Wednesday
night for the purpose of consider
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of holding a
county fair here next fall.
On motion of Mr.. T. A. Low
Chief Eversberg was called to
the chair and L. z. Harrison was
elected secretary. The chief
stated the object of the meeting
and announced his readiness to
hear suggestions. ]. Rankin,
T. A. Low, A. M. Krug and L.
T. Harrison were favorably i'm
pressed with the idea of holding
the fair and believed such an ex-
hibition, if given during the early
part of November would be a sue
cess; that it would be the means
of bringing together q large
crowd of exhibitors. But as none
of the citizens of BRENNAN, out
side of the fire department, were
present it was deemed advisable
to adjourn the meeting until 4:30
O'Clock next Monday afternoon,
at which time it is hoped there
will be a larger attendance.
Every citizen in the town is in
vited to be present next Monday
afternoon at Giddings Hall.
Come out and give US your ideas
on the subject. County fairs are
doing much good for other coun-
ties, why not Washington?

LYNcHING BEE SPOILED.
Sheriff Curry of Burleson County Was Too
Quick for the Would be Lynehers.

An effort was made to lynch
the negro, Little, who killed Jim
Mccoy in Burleson county Mon
day. Little is an exconvict and
Mccoy was a convict guard.
Sheriff Curry, of Burleson coun-
ty, had placed Little in the Bryan
jail for safe keeping until he
could be conveyed to Caldwell.
Tuesday morning the sheriff got
wind of a lynching party that
was headed towards Bryan and
promptly spirited his prisoner out
of harms way, not stopping until
the murderer was safely lodged
in Jail at Waco. Wednesday the
sheriff brought the negro to Cald-
well: No further trouble is an

THE CAT CAME BACK.

Often.
Alas, Alasl When the cat came back
Twas the end of all its fun;
And the back yard fence is DR. aped in black
For Johnny had got his gun.
In the business of coming back
the cat is monoplist, and as the
embodiment OF monopoly it can
be said that the latter was struck
death blow Tuesday night by a
gentleman who resides in the
southern purlieus of the city.
The cat had entered his residence
and refused to be dislodged
until its nine lives were sacrificed
by six bullets from a blunderbus
in the hands of the outraged
citizen. The loud report of cold
Betsy Ann" started report that
wild man was taking in the
third ward. Phone calls for the
police rang in every direction
and soon a squadron of mounted
blue coats swooped down on the
shootist. After explaining the
great provocation under which
he violated the ordinance against
discharging fire arms he was
admonished to be more careful
and forbearing in the future and
allowed to go free.

Overcome by Heat.

Mr.. Hearne Dunklin, of Chap
pell Hill, spent Wednesday night
in the city and started home on
his bicycle early Thursday morn
ing without waiting to dispose of
the formality of breakfast. When
Stone was reached Mr.. Dunklin
became exhausted either from
over exertion or from some other
cause and fell off of his wheel by
the roadside in a fainting fit. He
was found soon afterwards by
Mr.. Watson and carried to shed
near by where after hard work
he was resuscitated, but it re-
quired several hours before he
was himself again.

A Warm Engagement Between Messrs.
Dunlap and Ball.
The frigid atmosphere of the
Brennan ice factory was not
sufficient to cool the blazing wrath
of two prominent young business
men of the city Thursday after
noon. When the thermometer is
dancing around the century mark
it requires no great exertion to
make ones blood boil. And
when shot words" join hands
with hot weather it is impossible
to "keep cool" even with cold
storage advantages. So when
Mr.. W. 7. Ball gave Mr.. Burney
Dunlap the ''frigid fist in the
shape of. an insulting epithet,
Mr.. Dunlap proceeded to ''make
it warm" for Mr.. Ball. In spite
of the fact that Mr.. Ball had a
baseball bat he was "struck out"
in the second inning by one of
Mr.. Dunlap's left hand curves.
Mr.. Dunlap made ga safe hit"
but made no effort to score a
''home run" Both gentlemen
were severely bruised in the en-
gagement.

THE bill recently enacted cur
failing the fees of county officers,
though received with almost if not
entirely unanimous approval by
the people, meets with a mild but
none the less vigorous and en-
phatic howl from certain gentle
men affected. 1t is asserted that
one of them-a Harris county
official-will-take the matter into
the courts and test the validity of
the act. It is to be hoped he
will. Reforms, like revolutions,
never 60 backward, and the bell
has tapped the ath-knell of
princely incomes from modest
offices in Texas. The present
law is probably crude in many
details, but time and experience
will demonstrate where amend
ment is desirable, and amend
ments will be made as the
exigencies and demands of
equity suggest. The curt in high
fees and salaries, however, has
come to stay, and the only Won
der is that it was so long de-
ferred.

H. W. CARLTON, a blue bellied
yankee away up in Maine, writes
the Galveston News strongly pro-
testing against the people of
Texas exercising the God-given
right of managing and conduct
ing their public schools in such a
manner as to them may seem
correct and proper; and even
goes so far as to say that the
exercise of such privileges will
have tendency to prevent men
of his calibre from emigrating to
Texas, &c. If that be the case,
thank God for it. Texas needs no
such citizenship. She has right
to dictate the course of study to be
pursued in her public institutions
of learning, and blythe eternal
she will exercise it, the kicks of
such men as Carlton and the
Galveston News to the contrary
notwithstanding.

A LITTLE more earnest, united
and well-directed effort would
put Brennan in the front rank
among small Texas cities. And
no one enterprise will tend more
to bring about such desired re-
suits than the extension of the
Brennan and Brazos Valley rail-
way. from Stone City to Brennan.
This line will increase our bust
ness, in all lines, at least one
third, while adding largely to our
population. There is both money
and business in the enterprise
for Brennan. Now, what are
our people going to do about it?

Profit In Tramps.

From the Cherokee, Iowa, Democrat.
tough story is being told on the off,
GERS at Emmetsburg. 1t Is said that the
marshal and justice of the peace make
regular business Of arresting every tramp
that comes to town as a vagrant and then
get fat fee for their work. In one month
they arrested IA vagrants and taxed the
costs up to the county. This became OBJ
noxious to the board OF supervisors, so
the fee for arrest was cut down to a nickel
q head. This did not suit the officials, SO
the next month there were ninety nine
drunks In the place Of Migrants. The lat
ter charge came under the state law, and
costs and all amount to s. or Sc per head
In order to make all tramps that are ar
rested plead guilty to the charge Of drunk
enness the officials give them each a plug
Of tobacco and q pint of whisky, or a half
dollar. just as the tramp sees IT. besides
the best accommodations over night and
good fare. So well known among the
rramps is this fact that they all hit EN-
metsburg and some are arrested as high
as three times q week. Efforts are being
made to put stop to such work.

A GOOD COMPLEXION.
How Almost Every Woman Can Have
a Clear Skin.

How Almost Every Woman Can Have
a Clear Skin.
There is no beauty more necessary to
make a woman attractive than a clear
skin, and this with very little trouble
almost all of US can attain.
The first thing necessary for good
complexion is a good digestion; indeed,
there are few human ills that cannot be
laid at the door of a badly-wOrking
liver. To remedy this one must of
course apply to ones doctor. Next to
this comes cleanliness. Everyone
should take warm bath once a day.
The face itself should be washed night
and morning, good soap, and oat or
corn meal. After this rub gently but
firmly into the skin for about five min
utes a little cold cream, and the soften
ing effect of this treatment is almost
amazing If one could wear flannel
mask for an hour or two during the
PA, SO the skin would become very warm,
it would be of great benefit. Last, but
by no means least, avoid carefully
catching cold or sitting in damp shoes,
clothes or draughts.
Strange as it may seem to the cas-
ual observer. one of the greatest skin
beautifiers is an equal temper and
regular life. I have seldom seen
Quaker or a woman belonging to a re-
ligious order without a good skin,
often to the age of so; and 1 am firm
" convinced that it is entirely due to
the equable, passive lives they lead
We cant all be Quakers or Sisters Of
Mercy. but we can get up. walk. take
our baths and eat our meals at regular
times, and this rule. if followed with
the other suggestions I have made.
} bound to have a most beautifying
effect on the skin.-Amy E. Hull, in
Ladies' World.
