The suffering of water-bound refu-

ernor figures that the loss of life has
been comparatively small, not exceed
ing fifty persons.
The heaviest farming losses will fail
upon the owners of the big plantations
in the bottoms, who have lost all their
crops and much of their personal prop
erty, and are not being protected IN
the distribution of the charity, which
is being expended only among the
poor.
Up to tonight Governor Sayers has
received 100000 in money contributions
from this state and from the east. In
addition thereto he has sent out sew
eral carloads of groceries which have
been donated by different cities of the
state. The situation is being well
handled now, everything having gotten
down to systematic precision. and the
governor stated tonight that by to-
morrow every hungry mouth in Texas
would be looked after.
The waters are fast subsiding, and
Governor Savers is confident that he
will be able TO care for the poor of the
state for at least a week, after which
time they can secure employment in

1t was reported that George Hall had
been held up while going to work at
the Tiger and told his family would he

according to the mans wife, who says

story is that Hall, who was going to
work as a master MECHANIC in the

twenty-five men and told if he went to
work his family would be killed and
his case attended to later. On the
strength of this it is claimed he left

IMMENSE PROPERTY LOSS.
Estimated That Damage Done By
Floods Will Reach S1O,O0O,OOO.

st. Louis, July S.-A special to the
Republic from Caldwell, Tex, says:
Estimates made by competent cotton
buyers as TO the damage resulting TO
the cotton crop in the Brazos badly tax
the credulity of those not familiar with
the flood conditions. Not less than 20
square miles of cottOn-bearing land
has been flooded. Every acre of it
would have produced a big bale.
Basing the loss on cent figures. the
crop destroyed on these plantations
was worth almost $4,000, 900. Well in
formed persons are of the opinion that
this unprecedented rise in the Brazos
has cost the people of Texas little less
than S10.000.00 Thousands of mul.=s
have been drowned. all of the domes-
tic animals have persisted, rented
houses in the negro quarters have been
swept away, the gins are nearly all
ruined, and hundreds of plantation
stores, carrying big stocks of general
merchandise, are under water. Not a
bridge has escaped, and not a train
has passed over the Santa F'e railroad
between BRENNAN and Milano for a
week.

Thought He Was Up Against It
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Many funny things have occurred
since the white man determined to
force civilization upon the Indian, but
l think the funniest thing l ever saw
in the Indian country was a newly es-
tablished department store in boom
town" 1t was H. F. Fanny, the Indian
painter, talking. and he was relating
stories of the wild and woolly west.
The proprietor of this store. which
was in a country in which degenerate
specimens of the noble red man
abound, wanted to be entirely up-to-
date. and he had rugged up these min

of Indians. all wanting to buy some red
calico and stuff of that kind. One big
Indian bought plug OF tobacco and
laid down 81 to pay for it,
The clerk put the dollar in the bas-
ket, pulled the string, and away the
basket shot. Then the Indian got the
notion into his head that he was TO DE

after the basket. running like a deer.
1T was busy time in the store, and
and the Indian could not keep his eye
on the one in which he had seen his
dollar go, and he chased first one baS-
ket and then another. with all the other
Indians following him. and all of them
yelling like crazy. until one Indian saw
the desk. and they stopped all business
there quicker than an injunction from
the United States court would have
done.
They grabbed all the baskets end

been sent back to the clerk who sold
the tobacco. with the proper change IN
it, and such a time you never saw, the
Indians all saying 'UghH as loud as

against some bad medicine of the
white mans. Well, the clerk who had

and the two young things often talked
over the paternal opinion and sat up
many evenings devising ways and
means to secure Il reversal of judg-

saw the father on the subject. but the
girl was brave, and whenever there was
an opportunity she put in a plea for
the defense. At the last talk. the
father had told his daughter that the
young man never would set the world

Some days later the girl had another

Harry did not. He said that your

There were rumors of serious COL

court dismissed for the term, but twelve
members of the venire not drawn and

Los Angeles, Cal, July S.-Although
the opening of the annual convention
of the National Educational associa-
ton is still three days away, the num-
Der of delegates who have already ar
rived in the city from all parts of the
United States is enough to support the
statement that the convention will be
well attended. Two thousand or more
delegates arrived today, and a rush
OF visitors is anticipated for tomorroy
and Monday and Tuesday
The National Council Of Education,
which is composed of sixty of the fore
most educators of the country, held its
first meeting of a three days session
this afternoon. The meeting was de-
voted to listening to q paper read by
Mrs. Lucia a. Stickney of the Hugh
high school of Cincinnati. Mrs. Stick
ney's paper began with a sketch of ten
families, numbering from four to fif-
teen, living in two rooms of tenement
houses. She said:
These families have little practical
knowledge Of buying or cooking whole
some food. The one absorbing thought
is how to get q living, and the aim in
rearing children is to get them to work
so that they can pay back what has
been done for them. The children are
kept in school by the truant officer I'M
I'll they are Il. or large enough to be,
then graduated into the factory. They
are without any domestic education,
and seldom become house servants
These people have abundant church
privileges, and often are church-goers.
Their social opportunity is the all-night
ball, which many girls attend twice a
week. With SO large a number of ten
ement jewellers, the settlement and Tree
kindergarten can only serve as an OBJ
ject lesson. 1t is through the avenues
of the public school, with domestic
training and a greater intimacy be-
tween school and home, that improve
ment is to be sought"
At o'clock tonight the second meet
ing of the council was held. At this
meeting the time was devoted to
paper by the Hon. ". 7. Harris. United
States commissioner Of education, on
The Future of the Normal School
GIr Harris devoted the principal part
of his paper to the new educational
methods which the study of the art of
educating is bringing out
The movement known as Child

Besides child study there is prog

ing, and not so dependent upon teach

a good teacher requires the reflect
i've habit fully formed. The normal
school must make its pupils observant

Finally, Nj Harris said: The fu

show the gradual adoption of the Kul-
tur Geschichte standpoint, the discus
