BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS. WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER

codnty is practically united
for officers. BIT how about
Webb Connty's vote for
Congressman Can anyone
doubt that the republicans will
exert their influence with the
independent Club to the utter
most to make that organiza-
ton place the name Of Mr..
Crouch on its tickets? We
as democrats must organize
to combat such a result
It has already been propos-
ed by some of the republicans
that they Will vote for Sayers
and the State ticket if the
Democrats will vote fot Crouch
Since the republicans have no
State ticket in the field the
generosity Of this offer is not
exactly astounding. Sayefs'
election is assured, whether
he gets two thousand votes or
ten votes in Webb county,
while Klebefg may need and
in any event is entitled to the
democratic votes of this county.
1t is hardly probable that kle-I
berg's election would be jeo-
pardized BY failure to get a
Webb county vote, but We owe
to him as OUR nominee the duty
of actively working in his in
terest. that every vote possible
shall be east for him.
Let democrats be awake
and see that the full party
in this county is poll
ed for KIeberg

An APPEAL
TO the Democrats of Webb
and Ehcinal Counties.

-
Editor Times:
Please permit me through
your columns. to appeal to the
democrats of webb and Enei-
nal counties to be up and &C.
tive IN their support of our
nominees for State and district
officers.
Our enemy. the republicans
party, the only party that gives
US concern; IS organizing
throughout this Congressional
district. as never before in its
political history. If we would
have our district represented
by a democrat. We must real
ize that victory crowns only
the vigilant: Lethargy, or
sleepy indifference. never has
and never will be victorious.
Our NOMINEE IS 4 man of
ability and experience in legis-
lation; both state and national.
As a iiietiiber of congress; he
is diligent and watchful OF
every interest in his district.
Our senators and representa-
tives in congress, without ex-
teptiop. bear testimony to his
faithful and intelligent atten-
ton to the duties devolving
upon him as a member of con-
gress. The writer had the
pleasure, while in his native
state this past summer. of
meeting a scRoolmate, a life
lorg friend, a member of Con
gress from his old district in
Georgia, and through him
learned something of Mr.. Kle-
berg's standing as estimated
BY members from other states.
1t is sufficient to say that this
menbef;a man of national rep
utation, regards MIR. Kleberg
as one of the most faithful and
intelligent congressman from
Texas. We know that he is
in touch with our people and
watehfui of their interests. He
has a bill pending before the
Judiciary committee for the
establishment of a branch Of
the federal cotirt in Laredo.
He knows the necessities
which exist for the trial of fed
efai cases here; and appre-
GATES the value of a court in
Laredo from an economic
standpoint as well as for the
convenience of the people. He
is at work, and says he will
succeed in getting US a court,
and with a court a public build
ing will follow as a matter of
course. Mr.. KIeberg is a
native of this district and has
no attachments or sympathies
not In harmony with its inter-.
csts.
Now let ME suggest that
the democrats of this county
at once take steps to organize
for work. There will be bat
one county ticket for county
the people are unit
ed in local matters, a consum-
long devoutIy wished

Deafness Producing Dizziness.


Recent exapnination and investigation as to the
hearing of children, in certain school, developed
interesting and startling facts regarding the
results Of dullness Of hearing upon the mental and
moral d<velopme.t Of children.
OF twenty children denominated as bad by their
teacher. only six had the normal amount Of hear
ing power.
OF those regarded good every one had good
and useful ears
1t was also found that the average hearing
power Of a large class Of backward pupils was
about half that Of another class Of fair scholars-
The difference between the fair and bright scholars
was about the same. This was determined by
testing the distance at which the ticking Of .
watch could be heard.
Deafness because it is not readily detected
as most other defects. often passes unobserved,
though sufficient to seriously hamper the
child. This is more unfortunate since a child,
well disposed and attentive. honestly trying to do
his best at school and elsewhere, because he cannot
stupid. Finding that he falls short Of what is
quired OF him and Of what his mates accomplish,
he finally accepts the common belief and to
put forth effort toward improvement, becoming in
a double sense a hopeless case.
The effect on his moral nature Is still more
marked and disastrous. Suffering under the smart
Of injustice he IL liable to become sullen and
surly, the faults for which he was in the FIRST

Parents might do their children unmeasured SER

ing. II it does not break records. the feel
ing grows that Cornell will win out even
more handily than last year. Two bets
have been made one of $500 even on Cor
nell against Yale and one of $50 on Cor
however. that the betting will not pre-
vail on these terms and more sensible
bets may be looked for.
No one expects that even money will
rule. but Cornell. to whom all look for a
start to the betting. has hardly made an
offer as yet.
Those who know. say that there will be
plenty of Cornell money TO De mad at the
right time and there Is considerable talk
TO the effect that Yale will back her crew
though asking for odds. Harvard con-
fidence seems to be limited
II has leaked out that the Ithacan Var
sity crew for 1895 holds the record for a
mile done on the lake at home This be-
came known late last night and was not
only stated on good authority but is
confirmed from reliable sources The time
is not named. except as being better than
ilve minutes. News of this Travelled fast
up to Gales Ferry and Red Top wh. ce
the best mile time that either Of the
crews Is not as low as five minutes
More then that. Cornelrs time was
made on dead water. and Bob Cook Is
authority for the statement that dead
water Is over a minute slower than run
ming water in a four-mile course Under
relatively the same conditions of wind
If dead water is slower than running wa
ter. all experts maintain. CorneIrs
time tomorrow should be something to
remember. A question was raised this
morning. however. which is vital. Can
Cornell last, for four miles? Ii had
hardly been hinted before today that
Cornell might lack staying powers. but
there is doubt in the minds of few
judges. based on the fact that Cornell
is rowing a much harder stroke than
either Yale or Harvard.
The splendid appearance of the men
physically and their rowing experience
serves greatly TO answer the question
about Cornell's staying power. No work
will be done today by any of the crews.
All of them went through a fair drill
yesterday evening. Cornell rowed four
miles at 4 moderate pace. covering the
last two miles of the course and back.
Harvard practiced starts and spurts in
front of her quarters. and then went over
a mile on time. Yet. in spite of the fact
that Cook had given out that he would
not let his crew do no more than paddle.
rowed mile with Cook holding a watch.
and the impression has gone abroad that
the time was quite fast The crews will
get into their boats today merely to keep
them on edge.
