judge in filming for contempt Of
court reporter who wrote up
the trial of DR.. Nancy Guilford for his
paper in a decidedly yellow" way, is
approved by newspapers and newspaper
men generally If anybody is entitled
to fair treatment from the press it is a
person on trial for his life. There can
be no complaint if the evidence is re-
ported faithfully and accurately. no
matter how damaging to the defendant
that evidence may be. This particular
reporter in order to excite false inter-
est in the trial and stimulate the sale
of his paper, resorted to exaggeration,
misrepresentation and ridicule. The
judge declared that his reports "were
unfair accounts of said crime on trial
and unduly interfered with the obtain
ing of justice, and We're calculated to
prejudice the jury and the public" Self
respecting journalism has no use for
such an offender, and the honor and
dignity of the press demanded his pun
ishment. as well as the law.

Cars Without Wheels.

Street cars without wheels are the
latest novelty in vehicles. The cars run
on ball bearings. and, being near the line
instead of raised above it, are not sub
1ect to the same amount of resistance in
the form of centrifugal force. Much
greater speed is thus obtained and the
wear of the balls in carrying the car is
much less than the wear of the wheel
rims. The movement of the car is easy
and agreeable

The following letter was written from
Houston November IA. BY a promina,,
Mennonite of Johnstown, Pa, and pub.
lished November II In the Weekly Trib,ru,
OF Johnstown:
MT. josiah Keim has spent the last six
months travelling over the West and South
visiting Mennonite settlements and max
ing critical investigation as to the wis.
dom OF removal from the older States and
how they are prospecting Mr. Keim's re-
port TO the Eastern association will have
great influence in inducing immigration

To the Editor of the Johnstown Tribune

aerful coast country Of Texas / have
been travelling in a conveyance with som.
friends located here for the last FIVE days
mostly in Harris county, of which Hous.
ton Is the county seat, and have seen som,
unusual sights. Houston, which in 1896
had population of 30 900, is now the home
Of over 10000 souls.
One of the wonderful sights is the grow
ing crops, just the same as in Pennsyl-
Vania in June. Oats Is just now coming
up, the people are setting cut winter cab
bage plants, figs and pomegrarates are
ripe and flowers are In bloom everywhere.
saw this morning on the Houston mar
ket the vegetables and fruits brought in
by the gardeners. and there were as many
varieties as would be seen in a Northe IN
city in July or August. Yesterday the
thermometer was So in the shade In the
middle OF the day, but 1t was cool and
there was heavy dew last night.
Good lands that Kansas and Missouri
friends of mine have bought here near the
gulf coast only cost them from So to s.. so
an acre. 1t is near a good railroad and
the town of Fairbanks, only fourteen m les
from this growing city of Houston North-
ern people are coming here steadily to
locate on these chesp lands. One thing
that explains why land is so cheap here is
that 1t has been held by cattlemen for the
last forty or fifty years, and now since
the deep water ports were opened UP by
the government, new settlers fiockei here
and the cattlemen had to send most of
their herds West. Thus many large tracts
We're thrown on the market. They won't
be on the market long, for settlers are
coming in fast. The cheap freight rates
they get, caused by getting deep water
here. leaves good profit to the farmers
who are raising fruits and vegetables for
the Northern markets. Strawberries ripen
here as early as February, and from then
on for three months.
1t seems strange to find vegetables on
the table raised every month in the year.
The gulf breezes make it comfortable here
in summer, the thermometer never gong
above 9S. They have a fruit, flower and
vegetable festival and flower parade each
year here in Houston in the winter. at-

BRENNAN, Texas, November 21.--As an
aftermath TO the storm OF Sunday night
is mentioned an occurrence at Pleasant
Grove. The residence OF Mr.. sternberg was
completely demolished By the terrific
wind. After the storm had abated the
little daughter OF the household could not
be found. Search was begun and her fee
BILE cries were heard beneath the debris
OF tho wrecked building. 1t was found that
she had not sustained the least injury in
being buried beneath the collapsed build
ing.
Tuesday was notable from a local stand
point for runaway accidents. two OF which
occurred during the morning hours. both
OF them with painful IL not serious, con
sequences. Mayor James A, wilkins was
the first victim. He was stunned for the
time being but coon recovered, and aside
from severe attack Of nose bleed and
badly bruised shoulders sustained no Sc
rious injuries. Thomas Matchstt was the
victim OF the second accident OF the day.
In company with Mr.. D. G. Stone he drove
out 10 the furniture factory When de-
acending the long hill this side the resi-
dence OF Manager Maddox on the return

schedule.
The new schedule OF rates has also been
approved by a number Of the most promi-
nent actuaries in the country and By a
number OF State insurance departments.
and since 1t was demanded by the actual
condition and experience of the order, the
rates imposed are no higher than they
would have shortly become under the old
system, on account of the necessary in
crease in the assessments required to pay
the death losses.
