of the body of Private Clarence
Reilly, dared the hospital authori-

The men were armed with ball

The trouble occurred over the re-
port that Reilly had been ILL

He went over to the hospital fol-
a minor operation and was given
chloroform, and according to the
surgeons, he died almost instantly
of heart failure. They sent wore

Secretary j. NJ. Carlisle of the
state text book board has re-
ceiyed complaints from different
places in the state that text book
dealers were refusing to exchange
old text books that were in dilapi-
dated condition for new books.
Requests were made for u ruling
on the question and at meeting
of the text book board the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted
Resolved, by the state text book
board, that all contra ctors with
the state for furnishing books for
the public free schools of this
state shall exchange the contract
books for all books of series in
ac.ual use. They shall exchange
for any books that are servicable
FOR school use, that is to say, a
book so mutilated or otherwise
damaged as to be rejected must
be such as can not be used in the
schools; as, for instance, u book
with one or both covers off or
parts thereof shall not be rejected;
nor II book with the preface and
table of contents or either of
them torn out; nor a book with
one or more of the other leaves
out or parts of the same, unless
they be leaves which materially
affect the subject matter of the
book. But the books exchange
shall be books of the same grade
and subject as the new books
that is; q first reader for frs
reader, second reader for {
second reader, ETC., unless other
wise agreed to by the contractors
in which case this resolution
shall not apply; and further
this resolution as to the grade
of books is not sintended to APP
ply in cases where the STATE
text book board has adopted
two-book series for series o
thre books heretofore IN use.

made. He demanded the body,
which they refused to deliver.
Going back to camp Capt. Nc
Adoo sent over detail which
"held the fort. The hospita.
officers tried to make the Tex
ans retire, threatening thcm with
all kinds of military law, but the
Texans could not be moved, and
Capt. McAdoo WAS sent for.
The surgeons finding that they
could not succeed, promised
the captain they would refrain
from any autopsy if the soldiers
would withdraw. This was agreed
to and the body was carried
down town to an undertaken S.
Capt. McAdoo went to General
Lee and complained and the
general at once ordered a mill
tary commission of surgeons to
make an autopsy to ascertain
the cause of Reilly's death. They
reported that the man died
from heart failure, This report
did not satisfy the Texas officers
or men and they are wo. ked up
over the matter. They say the
matter will be taken up by their
own people and the war depart
ment will be forced to make Il
thorough investigation. They
allege incompetent men were
directed to give the anaesthetic.

of the city between great num-
bers of their relatives, sweet
hearts, friends and admirers.
They were cheercd on every hand.
After march of nearly SIX
miles they returned to their camp
to be very agreeably surprised.
They found that during their
absence the women of Dallas had
taken possession and prepared
for them meal that would be a
credit to any hotel in the coun-
try. 1t consisted of turkey,
chicken, beef, picked pigs feet,
ham, pickles and a dozen other
good things with the climax cap
ped by a dessert of ice cream and
cake. The men went wild with
delight and their souls were filed
with gratitude to the women who
had prepared the repast. There
was so much of everything that
the regiment, Notwithstanding
the fact that it contained nearly
1900 men. who had not tasted
turkey or chicken, much less ice
cream and cake, for months, was
unable to clear the tables.
Col. Oppenheimer informed his
staff that the same rules and
regulations in force in the camp
ut Jacksonville, Fla, would hold
here until further orders. Col,
Oppenheimer said to reporter:

have been making complaint that
they have been poorly fed and
provided for, and | am informed
some of the boys are soliciting
subscriptions from the citizens of
Dallas for the relief of the sick.
In regard to the first | wish to
say we have always had an abund-
anca to eat; in fact an excess of
aome things. As proceeds of eX-
cess -four which we have sold, we
have 5000, and this has gone to
the companies. We have sold
excess fresh beef right along tc
butchers, and with tAe money
bought delicacies and such Other
things as we wished. We have
had exceAg&n every article
and besides what we have sold
we have exchanged many articles
for what we wanted. We came
from Jacksonville to Dallas IL
/, Pullman cars, each man having
separate berth, and LIDO not thinl
we have any kicks coming.
Gas to the sick, we have abou
fifteen on the list. OF these, hv'
have been admitted to st. Paul

IAN Jaclnto Battlefield Commission.

Judge L. A. Fuller of the at
torney generals department re-
turned from Houston, where he
went as legal adviser to the com
mission to purchase the site of
the battlefield San Jacinto. He
reports having filed one suit in
the nature of condemnation pro-
ceedings against one of the land
owners of the sit. He says the
commission selected this site
and, and barring this one track
of land he thinks negotiations will
be completed and the trade con-
summated within the next ten
days.
The law provides thlt not moro
than $50 acres shall b. purchased
and the price limited to $25 per
acre, which will amount to $6250
which, of course, would not ex-
haust the $4,000 appropriated
by the legislature for this purpose.
