GREAT PROPERTY LOSS BUT
SMALL LOSS OF LIFR IN
TEXAS FLOODS.

A Galveston, Texas, Dispatch says:
Relief work in the BraZos flooded dis
district has been systematized, three
relief trains leaving Houston, Calves
ton and San Antonio daily. Probably
90, 900 negroes are now being fed and
will need to be sustained for some time
by the relief committees.
All sorts of estimates are made as to
the amount Of the cotton loss. An es.
innate Of 30 per cent is considered con-
servative. This would be a money
ay loss Of 8 5000, 900. The loss sustained
by the destruction Of other crops,
houses, fencing, stock and bridges will
be So 500, 900, while the loss to the rail
roads is probably 81, 600, 900, making q
total of So. 500, 900.
Owing to the exaggerated reports
circulated as to the loss Of life in the
recent foods, the News has made a
special effort to secure the facts from
each county. Reports received from
10 counties show a loss Of 81 lives
from drowning.

TYPHOID FEVER PROPACATRD
TRROUGH DUST AND FLIRS.
W ashington Dis patch,

Washington Dis patch,
TIE board appointed by the War De
parGment at the instance 0f the Sur
geon General to study the distribution
of typhoid fever in army camps, is
busily engaged in arranging the mat
ter collected, preparatory to making
it's final report.
This board is the first that has ever
been appointed to study the propaga.
ton of disease in army camps by the
history of individual regiments.
The reports will indicate that the
water supply had practically little to
do with the spread of typhoid. This
is contrary to all previous medical
theory in typhoid propagation. The
appearance and spread Of the disease,
the report will say, indicate that it was
transmitted through the atmosphere,
by the wind carrying about the dust
containing the dried germs Of typhoid
and by the agency Of flies.

The American delegates at the peace
conference have secured q unanimous
vote in favor of having the question Of
property at e in time of war dealt
with at a special conference, to be sum-
moned hereafter. The Literary Digest
says that the American press takes a
rather somber view of the prospects of
any definite success at the disarma-
ment conference. IL the reports sent
out by the newspaper correspondents
are correct, the plan for limiting ar.
mRments will fail utterly, and even
the American proposal for the protec-
tion of private property at sea will be
Laid on the table" for the censidera-
ton Of some future conference. An
arbitration tribunal. temporary or per.
manet, seems likely to result, but there
is much doubt whether such a tribu-
nal will have any real force.
A recent Carthage (Mo) dispatch
says: In an interview here today w.
A. PETER, former United States Sena-
tor from Kansas, denied that he had
joined the Republican party. He said:
Il have not said for myself, nor have
I authorized any other person to say
for me, either that I have left the Pop
ulist party, or joined the Republican
party. What I did say, and do now
say and expect to keep say ing, is that
as a factor in national politics, the
Populist party is a cipher; that it ia q
mere adjunct to Democracy; briefly
that for all national purposes the Pop.
ulist party will be swallowed in the
Democratic party and, as between the
Denocratic and Republican parties, I
have alway s been against the Demo
Gratis. Believing that the contests Of
the future will be practically between
the two parties, l expect to do all I
can honorably to keep the Democratic
party ont Of power in the nation"
Mr.. PETER also declares himself
strongly in favor of expansion.
Gov, Pingree marked the closing
day of the Michigan Legislature by
sending in veto messages which he
made, incidentally, a medium of hotly
criticising the Legislature for alleged
failure to carry out the peoples wishes.
The Governor vetoed the amended
sugar beet bounty bill. The Governor
said: This Legislature has passed no
laws to equalize the burden Of taxa
ton and make corporate and other
property pay it's share of taxes. It was
elected for the purpose Of passing laws
to equaliz9 assess ments and taxes, and
to make railroads and other corpora
tions pay as much taxes in proportion
as the farmer and other small property
owners. It has failed utterly to carry
out the wish OF the people in this re-
spec5. The tax dodger has either con
trolled or DISTRACTED legislation. His
interests have been carefully protected.
The effort seems to have been made to
appropriate as much money as posi-
BILE out Of all proportion to the pres
emit income of the State, and to stife
all measures framed to make the tax
dodger bear his and it's share Of the in.
creased expense"

In tins great world of hustle and
rush one man is of little consequence.
No nian has yet lived and died whose
place some other man couldn't accepta-
bly, I'll. but there is no reason why
men, who are aggressive and trying TO
help Themselves, should be pulled
down. Success in life is mutual. 1t
is not something that eau be attain
ed without regard 20 others. No mat.
ter what trade, calling or profession
a man chooses, he is dependent upon
his fellows for success. The LAWYER
must have clients; the doctor must
be called to administer to the sick: n
preacher must have congregation; a
banker must have depsit0rs and bar.
rowers; merchants, customers; teach.
ers, schools and pupils; farmers, mar
kets. The breeders offine horse must
depend upon the admirers of fine
stock as purchasers, and so it goes all
through the avenues of business. Men
are created free and equal, and per-
fectly dependent.

From countless belfries in this land,
The Christmas chimes are ringing,
And many tongues of old and young,
The Christmas hymns are singing.
In churches bright with evergreens,

And uttering words of thanks and praise,
For Gods sublime revealing.
And yet how many of the throngs,
That awake this Christmas morn.
And give today in hymns of praise,
That Christ the Lord was born.
That ever witnessed in their hearts,
The birth that's from above,
The real advent of the Lord,
OF true unselfsh love.

In doing, serving, blessing,
Take His whose greatest glory is,
In giving, not possessing.
