st. Louis. A special to the Repub-
lie from Caldwell, Tex says:
Cotton buyers in the Brazos food
district report that not less than 900
square miles of cotton bearing land has
been flooded. Every acre of it would
have produced big bale. Basing the
loss on FIVE cents they figure the crop
DESTROYED on these plantations was
worth almost 81, 900, 900.
1t is claimed the food has cost the
people of Texas little less than S10,-
900. 000 Thousands of mules have
been drowned, all of the domestic ami
mails have perished, rented houses and
negro quarters have been swept away.
The gins are nearly all ruined and

hood of 45, 600 people, the majority of

ing entirely upon public charity for
sustenance. The suffering of water
bound fugitives has been very great.
The governor figures the reports out to
show that the loss of life has been COM
paratively small not exceeding fifty,
the loss of property, however, has
been very great From reports at his
disposal it is eviednt that the loss to
property, both railroads and farming
and tothe crops of the state will be
great and it is impossible to estimate 1t
at present. The heaviest farm loss will
fall upon the owners of the big planta-
tons in the bottoms who have lost all

HUGHES PULLED HIS GUN
AND THE BICYCLE PATROLMEN HAD
A HARD STRUGGLE WITH HIM.
He Was OEce an Inmate Of the Gen.
trail Hospital, and Has Been Tn
der Arrest Several Times.

Had ii not been for prompt action yester-
day on the part Of Bicycle Patrolmen Lam
caster and Bray, while making an arrest,
one or both of them would probably now be
suffering from bullet wounds. They were
sent TO a resort at No. 123 Kentucky avenue
to arrest a man who was wanted on war
rant.
Lancaster went in the front door and saw
a man sitting beside one of the inmates.
What's your manner" said Lancaster.
Don't know that have a name," was
the reply.
Lancaster walked over to the man, say
ing, II think we had better find a name
for you
The fellow got up from his seat and
struck at the policeman. Lancaster made a
grab for the man, who reached into a rear
pocket and pulled out revolver. Before he
could bring 1t to the front Lancaster
grabbed him by the hand. He jerked away
and just then Bray came in from the rear
After a long struggle, during which the fell
low received several heavy blows in the
face, they succeeded in getting the pistol
It's a good thing you caught me just as
you did,, he said. for I'd killed both OF
you" and the policemen think he would.
At the station he gave the name of Ed Nc
Laughlin. He was recognized, however, as
John Hughes, a former inmate of the Cen
trail Insane Hospital He was taken to the
asylum about year ago and was paroled
about July /. The revolver taken from him
was a new one On his vest was found a
badge designating him as "Detective-Na-
tional Bureau"
About three years ago Hughes had some
trouble on Virginia avenue on account of a
woman and was arrested by Detective Ash,
who was then patroling that district
Hughes talked much of suicide and said he
would kill himself II he could get poison
He asked Asch to get 1t. The patrolman
thought he would humor the prisoner and
purchased a large quantity OF quinine at a
drug store near by and gave IL to Hughes
with the remark. Now let's see If you're
gamer" Hughes took the stuff which he
supposed was morphine. and in a short time
was about the sickest man ever seen in the
police station. He accused Asch of trying tc
poison him.
Hughes has been arrested several time:

his mother secured his commitment 10 the
asylum. Hospital physicians said last ght
that Hughes. during his stay there showed
a mean disposition and they thought he wa:

A CITY CHEMIST.
The Office May Soon he Created by the
City Government.

There is a movement on foot among the
advisers of Mayor Taggart to create new
department in the Board of Health, or rath-
er to make a permanent official out Of one
who Is now employed only temporarily. 1t
has been found by the board that chemist
who is also physician is necessity in
the place and this is proved by the fact that
the board has had to employ such man
almost continuously Of late, and with the
enforcement of the pure food laws it is ex-
pected there will be so much analytical work
that the constant employment of chemist
physician will be necessity, The reason
given for the necessity of the appointee
combining the two qualifications is that, as
most of the work is on food stuffs, it Is
necessary that the chemist must know not
only OF what the food is composed. but also
its effects on the human system An effort
will be made to get the consent of the Coun-
Gil to make the move and in that event a
Republican will be appointed TO the place,
with the title of city chemist.

COLORED DANCERS
Entertain the Carriage Builders at
the German House Smoker.

The auditorium of the German House was
filed with cigar smoke and hot joy last
night. The provocation was that the dele
gates to the Carriage Builders National
Association convention were being enter
tanned at Smoker" After last night that
word smoker" will have a deeper meaning
than it did before to those who were at the
German House. No women were there ex-
cept three colored girls dressed in gorgeous
red gowns, who cavorted on the stage with
three colored men, also in evenin dress. in
the intoxicating whirl of the cake walk.
Nor was the cake walk all. One of the
girls did an individual dance" that made
the spectators roar The happy carriage
builders threw money on the stage. and
when the trio of colored couples counted
the proceeds of the evenings work 1t
amounted to "a bunch" The auditorium
was packed with men and the tables in
the corridors were encircled. White
jacketed walters hurried through the throng
with beer enough TO float a defunct car
riage business, but II was not needed for
that purpose in that prosperous crowd.
Time was not counted, but it was away
into the night before the last Of the "smok-
ers' left the house.
