Theological Seminary.

T. w. Erwin, of Sherman, pro-
moter of the proposed TRANSMITS
sissippi Theological seminary, to
be under the auspices of the
Presbyterian church, said to a re-
potter who asked him about its
prospects;
"There is now no longer u
doubt about its being realized.
Texas synod has advertised
through its official organ for bids
from cities desiring its location to
be in not later than May l, 1899"
"Did the Arkansas synod join
Texas in the movement, as was
hoped would be the case?"
"No, the synod there discussed
the matter and deferred action.
Some of the strongest seminaries
east of here were represented
before the Arkansas synod when
the matter was up for discussion.
However, have not abandoned
hope that they will yet join in
with Texas, but if they don't we
ree going to build and conduct it
anyhow. The Arkansas synod
expressed soge very friendly
views about sherman or Dallas as

Battle with Dogs.

John Barr, an Englishman, had
a battle with vagrant dogs that
entered the premises at Waco on
which the young Briton is en-
ployed and attacked the poultry.
The ours were in furnishing con-
dition. They crossed the snow
covered fields, coming from the
timber land on the Brazos river,
and made straight for the poultry
pens. The place belongs to Mr..
Bardon, a cotton exporter, who
was absent at Houston, leaving
Barr in charge.
A heavy revolver was on the
place, but itwould not go off and
Mr.. Barr made fight with club,
but was compelled to retreat. The
wild dogs killed two pet poodles,
tearing one to pieces and eating a
portion of its flesh. Mr.. Barr, by
using sticks and stones as missiles,
drove the savage ours off, the
only loss being the poodles. The
ours withstood heavy pelting be-
fore they withdrew. The poultry
flew into trees&and finding their
prey had escaped, the brutes
vent off growing fercely as the
stones and sticks came hurting
against their bodies.

HOW oEoRoE SAW PRESIDENT.
He Walked Into McKinleys Box at
the Ball

He Walked Into McKinley's Box at
the Ball.
Nothing can down the small boy. He
is the monarch of all he surveys, and
if his position is such that he cannot
survey he changes it. 1t is the small
boy with nerve and a desire to "get
there" who grows up to be Dewey, a
President Mckinley or a Jay Gould.
The jubilee ball and jubilee parade
and all the other jubilee events inspir-
ed him with such desire to be several
persons at once that he probably will
never recover. One small boy named
George answers this description. He
is employed as an errand boy for one
of the leading Chicago newspapers and
enjoyed many jubilee opportunities
that boy in any other line of work
his eyes the greatest of all, was to be
called upon to attend the ball with
several Their boys, in the capacity OF
copy" carrier for the various report
ers sent to cover the affair. George
worked industriously for some time,
but just before the entrance of the
president at 1890 o'clock he dlsap-
peared. Nor was he seen until atten-
ton was called to the presidents box
as he entered, when the reporters dis
covered him sitting next the presi-
dents chair, in Mrs, Potter Palmer's
box, which was otherwise unoccuped,
with as dignified an air as ever an en-
peror or janitor assumed. When
Mrs. Palmer appeared between the cur
tains George arose and offered her his
chair, bowling low beneath her smiles,
How did you get up the courage,
George?' one of the other boys in
quired. WANTED to see the presi-
denti" he said And. you see, Presi-
dent Mckinley thought l belonged to
Mrs. Pslmer's party, and Mrs. Palmer
thought l belonged to his, so was
treated boss" He has since had his
salary raised.

By far the greatest number of flow
ers have no smell at all-for instance,
of the 1900 species of flowers in Eu-

to give forth any odor. The common

there are 1874 kinds, and of these one

Considered in Order.

Gov. Culberson gave out the
following statement:
"Alr applications for pardon
will be received, filed and con-
sidered in the order in which they
were filed. 1t will be impracti-
cable to advance cases or con-
slider them out of their regular
order hereafter. The utmost that
can be expected of me during the
remainder of my term in pardon
matters is the consideration of
cases passed upon by the board
in regular order, The routine
business of the office, the dis
position of unfinished work and
preparation for the meeting of
the twenty-sixth legislature will
require a rigid adherence to the
above rule. 1t will be unpleasant
to refuse consideration of appli-
cations except as above stated,
but other public business which
cannot be postponed demands ii"

Mrs. Calixto Garcia, who is at

the generals obsequies at Wash

sad intelligence of the demise of

was said. From there it was

temporarily deposited in a vault.

Max Sale.

A Victoria county farmer sold
the product Of twenty acre flax
seed field to a Victoria oil com
pany for 1926 net cash; and the
same company offers to buy every
bushel of flax seed raised in that
county next year. They also pro-
pose to sell seed for planting at
$1.25 per bushel, Several Texas
papers have commented on this
and view with favor experiments
to test the value of flax culture in
their respective localities. 1t may
be added that New England
papers are discussing flax culture
in that section; and that mills
there may hapdIe fax more profit
ably than cotton-which latter
textile, they say, will go to south
ern spinneries.

Contracts with Teachers.

Austin, Tex.-Some time ago
an appeal from Wood county to
the superintendent of public in
struction affirmed the county
judge in his ruling in refusing to
approve q contract entered into
between the school trustees and a
teacher. The state board of edu-
cation has reversed the rulings of
both the officials and held that
the county judge must approve
this particular contract. Hereto
fore the law has been construed
SO as to give the county judge abb
solute power in approving or re-
fusing to approve contracts. The
boards decision in effect con-
strues the law so as to mean that
the Judge must have sufficient
ground for his action.

the decaying and deserted appearance of
thai once booming camp-ruined by the
curse of goldbug leg~islation-will live long
In my memory. Homes and houses where
once happy and contented families lived
were now nailed up and deserted: the
roofs. by the weight Of accumulated
snow. had In some cases fallen In. The
business houses with one exception had
all closed. A colossal beer hall that In
Its paimy days rivalled the California in
Butte was now cheerless and deserted.
save for a few idle men that sat around
like Macawber waiting for something to
turn up. Hope had almost deserted the
faces and hearts of the men that for
four years had held on. hoping against
hope. Everything seemed as II RUM
wheel had riven the~m-churches. schools,
stores and dwellings were boarded up
and the snow above and the mountain rat
beneath were now the lords OF all.
To-day all Is changed. and where ST.
lence reigned before everything Is cheer
full. The delivery sleighs speed through
the busy streets and the tinfling of the
sltign Dells make merry music. StottS.
saloons. hotels and boarding houses are
now open doing n good business: three
stages ply daily between here and ihil-
ipsburg and the road is at times irs9as-
sable with teams hauling all kinds OF
truck. from cordwood TO fancy groceries.
Everything Is prosperous looking except
the churches. and. sad to relate. they
stil remain closed and the pulpit and the
altar are now as voiceless as the Sphinx.

them shut-there is not enough money In
