YoTnnte az SignaI Corp.


The first company Texas vol
anteer signal corps has been or,
! ganized at Brennan with the fol.
lowing officers: Theodore Schir-
macher, cantain; Sam Rouse, first
lieutenant; LOWE Rogers, second
lieutenant; Ollie Carlisle secretary
and treasurer. The company is
composed of thirty men. The
muster roll has been made out
and forwarded to the adjutant
general. He will supply the COM
pany with a complete equipment
as soon as it can be lad from the
department at Washington. The
equipment will consist of red ban
ners with white squares in the
center, and white banners with
red centers, lanterns giving light
to correspond with the colors of
the banners, and photographs.
Capt. Schumacher thinks hello
graphy the most satisfactory
method of signaling, but as this
instrument can only be used in
sunshine, then other methods
must be resolted to in cloudy
weather. The companywill com
mence course of systematic drill
ling and training Immediately, the
first being to familiarize them
selves with the alpahbet of the
army code. After this alphabet
has been mastered, both with
flags and lanterns, then the hello
graph will be used. Every mem;
Der of the company carries both u
flag and lantern. must know the
alphabet, and each must be pro-
fcient in the use of the heliograph.
There is a good deal of enthusi-
asm among the members of the
company, and pardonable pride
felt in the fact that they arc pion-
GERS in this arm of military SER
vice, this being the onlyvounteer
organization of the kind in the
state, and, SO far as Capt. Schir-
lnacher knows, in the entire south.

The house appropriations COM
mittee honored Representative
Sayers, governor-elect of Texas,
through a series of resolutions
offered by Representative Bing-
ham, Republican, of Pennsylva-
mia. The resolutions were after
wards made n part of the house
record. In substance, the reso-
lutions state that Mr.. Sayers as
chairman and member OF the
appropriations committee dis
charged his duties with untiring
industry, zeal and conscientious
regard for the public welfare,
proving himself a worthy sue
cessor of Thaddeus Stevens, j..
A. Garfield and Samuel j. Ran
dali" Also that Mr.. Savers
courtesy and fairness have won
for him the esteem and conf
dence of his colleagues, "and in
his new field of exalted public
duty as chief magistrate of the
great commonwealth of Texas we
extend to him this expression,
sincere and cordial, of our affec-
tion, respect and confidence.

To BeautIfy Grounds.

Strong recommendations will be
made to the comf3g Legislature for
the improvement and identifying
of the capitol grounds at Austin,
and an adequate appropriation for
this work will be requested. The
appearance of the grounds sur
rounding the magnificent capitol
is the subject of adverse comment
by every visitor to Austin. Sup
erintendent of Public Buildings
and Grounds j. r. Mobley has
done his best with the limited
means at his command to put the
grounds in somewhat presentable
shape. The recent rams have
made the driveways in the grounds
almost impossible, and they now
resemble muddy country roads.
The matter of improving and
identifying these grounds has
come before every legislature ever
since the completion of the
$3,000,000 building, but the mem
bers of the law-maling bodies
have taken such view of the sit
uation that nothing has ever been
accomplished in the way of a suit
able appropriation. 1t is expect
ed that the next legislature will
take a broader and more liberal
view, and that steps will be taken
to place the grounds in condition
somewhat in keeping with the
grand building which they sur
round.

President al Savannah.

The president was rendered a
welcome at Savannah, Ga, that
was fully as enthusiastic as the
receptions accorded him at At
lanta, Tuskegee and Montgom-
cry. In twenty-seven carriages
drawn by white horses the presi-
Dental party was driven through
the principal streets of Georgia's
seaport city and cheered by vast
multitudes. Thousands of sol
diers passed in review before the
visitors to the strains of martial
music and the sight was most
inspiring one. As each regiment
came up its colonel would mount
the reviewing stand and watch
his gallant men. In the afternoon
President Mckinley and party
boarded a pilot boat and went
down the Savannah river about
ten miles. Whistles screeched,
flags dipped and cheers from the
thousands on the banks rent the
air. The president stood on the
starboard side of the boat wav-
ing his hat and handkerchief. A
banquet, at which covers were
laid for over 200 persons and at
which several notable speeches
were made, was given at night in
the Dc Soto hotel. On Sunday
morning President Mckinley at
tended divine worship at one of
the Methodist churches and in
the afternoon witnessed o dress
Harade of troops.

Fatal Fire.

A fire in the handsome New
York residence of CHI. Raymond

hours. Harriet Fee, a domestic,
who went up stairs to awaken the
family, was burned to death.

Want Access.

Austin, Tex.-A.P. Bush, presi-
dent of the Texas Cattle Ralsers'
association, was here. Speaking
of the prospect of a market being
opened up in Cuba for Texas cat
tie he stated the aboishing the
duty ON cattle in Cuba for the
United States shipments had been
presented to Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson and the latter had
assured him that he would make
a personal effort to see such act
ion accomplished. Mr.. Bush
stated that the Texas Cattle Rails
ers' association desires that Cuba
be placed on the same basis
as any other port of the United
States as far as duty on cattle is
concerned and that the duty
be enforced on cattle from Mexi-
co and other countries except the
United States in Cuba"

Midland Matters.

One Jesuit of the late severe
weather was the freezing to death
of two large oxen at Midland.
The animals were in good con-
dition and were in a barn yard
well sheltered from the cold wind.
They were the property of Col.
G. G. Slaughter of Dallas.
Over seven inches of snow fell
on the plains during the storm
and it is almost certain that
heavy losses OF stock will be re-
ported from remote ranges in the
panhandle and northwest Texas
during the coming week.
At the close of the carnival at
Midland o. H. Nelson of the firm
of Doyle & Nelson, large stock
breeders in the panhandle, did q
very handsome thing. He told
Thomas j. Martin of Midland he
was expecting a shipment
of 200 thoroughbred Herefords
from the north to be received at
Kansas City for his ranch and
that he would donate the pick of
the lot to the Midland carnival
committee, to be sold for the BEN
fit of any deficiency that might
occur when the finance committee
balanced their accounts. Mr..
Martin stated that he would make
the bull net the management at
least $1,000, as he proposed to
rattle it off, and felt certain of Sc
curing at least that amount.

Reports Exaggerated.

Austin, Tex.-State Health Off
Ger Blunt stated that the reports
that smallpox is raging to very
alarming extent at Cameron are
exaggerated. He received a let
ter from DR.. Greer, the physician
who has charge of the epidemic,
stating that, while there had been
number of cases of the disease,
six are now convaloscent. The
scourage is confined almost ex-
clusively to colored people.

Large Pelican.

Some time in September Mr..
Gilmore Sharpe killed a large pei
lean on Lyle lake, which he
turned over to Mr.. j. G. Lowden
Of the Lytle Water company. Mr..
Lowden sent the bird to the Acad-
envy of Science, Chicago, with a
request to classify and turn over
to the taxidermist to be mounted
and returned. The bird has been
sent back to Abilene, with the
statement that it is not only an
unusually large pelican, but a
rare specimen of its kind. 1t is
one of the few of its species that
have been killed in this part of
the state. The bird, as mounted,
has been put in conspicuous
place at Stefens & Lowdon's
bank at Abilene, and has attracted
considerable attention.

For and Against Expansion.

In the senate on the goth Mr..
Teller advocated territorial ex-
pansion, asserting that there are
no restrictions upon the rights of
the United States to expand its
borders. Representative Will
Jams ofthe house committee on
foreign affairs addressed the
house in opposition to expansion.
He contanded that it would be a
mistake to acquire the Philip
pines from social, political and
material standpoint. The agri-
cultural appropriation bill passed
the house without any material
amendment. 1t carried 1886 =
1872, or $1S7,12 more than the

Lectures Before the WCmsn's Club.

Several of or most prominent
physicians have generously agreed
to deliver course o. lectures before
the Economic Department of the
WOmen's CLUB, who are at present
especially interested in the study of
municipal and domestic hygiene.
DR.. Golfer had spoken to the de.
partment some time ago on pure
water, and the subject selected for
the first lecture Of thi, course was air
and sunlight.
We regret that space will only
allow us to refer TO the most import
ant points in DR.. James lecture.
He first briefly, bat clearly, DESERT ell
the construction and properties OF
the atmosphere, the creation and
propa cation OF Ii sht, the fare ,rhing
and almost OmnipOtent influence OF
un rays, the myriad Of worlds and
the realm Of the infinitely great"
that the telescope und spectrum have
enabled Us to locate and analyze.
DR.. James complete familiarity
with his subjects, aud simple manner
of expression made even the ahstruse
discOurse5 Of RusSen, KirchhOT and
Others attractive and inStructiv,. The
women, however, seemed To listen
with more personal, il not absorbed
interest, when DR.. James described
the influence of air and sunlight on
our streets, and when he closed the
chairman Of the department eX-
pressed the sentiment of every
woman present, saying that she
wished every health officer and town
councilman in the State could have
heard that lecture.

nal to be neglected at ones peril; that
a single back yard or alley overlook
ed by the criminal carelessness of a
health officer, or scarcely less crimi-
nal weakness Of neighbOrs who "hate
to be disagreeable," may poison the
air Of an entire street. Among his
practical suggestions to housekeepers
DR.. James urged that naked floors,
or at least mating, should be used
instead Of carpets, and that before
sweeping they should be sprinklad
with some simple diluted disinfect-
ant; also that walls and furniture
should be wiped down, otherwise
dust would simply be shifted from
lower to higher resting places.

" Knobs O. Tennessee.

"Knobs o. Tennessee" Lincoln J.
Carriers drama, depicting life and
incidents among the moOnshiners of
Tennessee, is one of the best comedy
dramas, the climaXs being very
strong. The scenery deserves special
mention. The first and second acts,
representing moonshiners' retreat in
the mountains of Tennessee, is a
most realistic scene. The cast
throughout is good. Hal Reid. as
Joe Preston; Miss Elsmere, as Made
line Preston, and Miss Marke, as
