WORK FOR GOOD ROADS.

Yesterday a committee compos-
ed of w. X. Johnston, W. L. Tur.
ner, A. w. Buchanan, j. b. Prid-
dy, DR.. n. NJ. McDougald, Harry
Dillashaw and J. W. White, ac-
companied by Commissioner W.

ed the condition OF the Bryan and

about fifteen miles from Bryan.
The Eagle reporter was unable to
go out with the committee and is
indebted to the Pilot reporter and
Mr.. Johnston for details of the
trip made by the above gentlemen.
They found the improvement of
the road at this point an absolute
necessity and decided the best,
cheapest and most practical way to
do the work will be to raise funds
by subscription in Bryan and cut
down the road at the hill, the
county not now being in a posi-
ton to meet the demands of the
case with the funds and facilities
il has for road improvement. Ac-
cordingly Messrs. j. w. Johnson,
G.. 5. Parker and A. w. Buchanan
were appointed committee to
raise the funds Tor the work, il
being estimated that about one
hundred dollars will be required.
W. r. Johnston and w. l.. Tur-
ner were appointed a committee
to receive bids for men aud teams
10 do the work, which they will
push as rapidly as possible when
the funds are secured.
The committee did a good days
work yesterday, and the Eagle
hopes all will respond promptly
with donations so that the expense
may be shared by all and felt by
none.
While on the subject Of road i'm
proyement it is interesting to note
what other towns of this section
are doing along this line.
Navasota has organized a Citi-
zens Good Roads Club, and will
increase the membership to the
greatest number possible, and look

this example and encouraged its cultiva-
ton in Ceylon, India and Africa. The re-
suit is that to-day Java is the chief source
Of the worlds supply; Ceylon comes next
and Perus wild bark is entirely neglected
for the reason that the cultivated Gin
ehona yields from 20 10 per cent. of qui-
nine and the wild only from one-fourth TO
One-hah Of l per cent. The United States
consumes about one-haG of the worlds
output.
The cause OF the present scarcity is at
tributed by some to efforts made by Lon
don spectators to corner the market. The
may he true 10 a certain extent, but the
fundamental cause is the fact that con-
sumption seems al beast to have overtaken
supply. and the surplus of bark which has
existed for years is now used up The re-
cent war with Spain caused a big demand
for quinine. and the opening up of new
colonial territory by several countries in
Africa ard elsewhere has also been a po-
tent factor in reducing the surplus of
bark. The consumption of quinine during
the last bubonic plague in India was also
immense.

BELIEVES DREYFUS GUILTY.
GEN. ZURLINDEN GIVES REASONS
FOR HIS OPINION.

Legend of the "EntraPped jew" He
said. Must BE Set Authorization
lars In the BOrdereau Were High
~ Important TO n Foreign Nation.
Insisted There Were Other Proofs
of the .CuIpabiIity of DreyfuS.
Paris, April 9.-Continuing its publca-
ton of the evidence given before the Court
of Cessation in the Dreyfus case, the Fig
ago gives to-day the dispositions of Gen.
Zurlinden, military governor of Paris, and
Gen. Chanoine former minister of war.
Gen. Zurlinden deposed that when he
entered the cabinet last autumn he knew
nothing of the Dreyfus affair. but the sui
eide of Lieut.. Col. Henry provoked to
study the dossier, which convinced him
that Dreyfus was justly condemned. The
secret documents In the dossier proved,
he declared. that the traitor belonged to
the general staff. There was no malice
in the designation of the culprit and,
therefore, the legend of the "entrapped
Jew must be set aside.
Gen. Zurlinden proceeded to show by
technical details that the particulars indi-
Gated in the bordereau were highly i'm
portant to a foreign nation. With refer
ence to the phrase. 81 am going to the
maneuvers," in the bordereau, he said
that the military students wanted to at
lend the maueuvers, but on Aug. Z, 1894,
the day to which the phrase in the border
eau referred, they did not attend. This
fact, he said. he regarded as having great
bearing on the discovery of the author of
the bordereau.
Proof of the culpability of Dreyfus, ne
insisted, existed outside the dispositions of
Lieut.. Col. Henry and Col. Patty du Clam,
and he appealed TO the court TO reject re-
vision, which, he said, he would have de-
manded himself in the name of the army
if he had had or did have the slightest
doubt of the guilt of Dreyfus.
He knew nothing, he asserted. of the re-
lations between Comte Esterhazy Lieut..
Col. Henry and Col. Sandherr, or of the
communication Of secret documents to the
courtmartial i'm 1894. nor had he any
knowledge respecting the correctness of
such rumors. In concluding his evidence
he remarked that the whole army wished
the fullest light TO be thrown upon the
affair.
Gen. Chanoine testified that he had cx-
amined all the dossiers placed at his dis
posal and that these, in his judgment, es-
tablished the culpability of Dreyfus. He
also deposed that he had spoken on the
subject with many persons who were ac-
quainted with the circumstances of the
trial in 1894.

scented at Nashville

letic Association has decided to hold the
annual intercollegiate track meet at Nash
vile in May under the auspices of the
Vanderbilt University, where it was held

season.
Vanderbilt has won the meet twice, In
'96 and 81, while Georgia won last year.
Both colleges have five teams and are
training hard to win out. Vanderbilt has
some very fast runners. Her hammer and
shot man, Crutchfield, the giant, holds the
record in both events and has won for the
past three years.
Georgia has some fast men in the runs
and claims that she will win in at least
three out of the five.

held in the South, the field at Nashville
is uneXcelled.

DuPUY IS WELL SATISFIED.
Dreyfus Case Almost Settled, and In
dustries Coming Around.


dustries Coming Around.
Paris, April 9.-Premier Dupuy, in the
course of en- important speech TO his con-
etituents to-day at Lepuy capital of the
department of Haute-Loire, said that the
situation both at home and abroad was
eminently satisfactory.
THE spontaneous election of a stalwart
and worthy Republican as President of
the republic" he continued, proves the
stability and vitality of the republic. and
has disconnected the factions who DETAINED
the chimerical plebiscites and futile resto-
rations."
He referred approvingly to the recent
agreements with Italy and Great Britain
and said that France was now free for
industrial and commercial development
and large field of cofonlzing."
Reverting to home affairs, he said: THE
agitations are only on the surface. Be
meath are calm industry and security. The
end of the Dreyfus affair appears to be
in sight, and the complication viii be IN
raveled by the Court Of Cessation, whose
judgment will be acknowledged by ALL"
The government, however, attaches i'm
portance to reitera ting Its determination to
repress all polemics which call the ma
tional army into question. AS soon as the
Court of Cessation has given Judgment,
the government will take the necessary
measure to determine responsibilities and
will act accordingly, If that should be
necessary, but those acts and the punish
ment of individual faults will not affect
the army, which is our hope for the future
and the indispensable guardian of the con-
stitution and the law.
IF certain people think otherwise let
US leave them to their despicable folly,
and for ourselves, continue to look to-
ward the army, full of gratitude and con-
fidence."

QUINTNE GOING UP.
The Price Has More Than Doubled
in the Last Few Days.
From the Paltinore SIM

From the Baltimore Sun.
Quinine is going up in price at an alarm
ing rate, and druggists all over the coun-
try are making strenuous efforts to Sc
cure contracts.
Yesterday the market price of quinine
was As cents an ounce, while a few days
ago il sold at 20 cents an ounce A men,
Der of one of the leading wholesale drug
houses in the city said yesterday that
quinine had, for the last two weeks, adj
vanced cents each day, and the indica-
lions were that IL would go still higher.
THE causes for this sudden rise in value
are several the druggist said I'm the
first place, the demand for quinine has in
creased to a remarkable extent, but l do
not believe that the supply is decreasing.
The whole thing is, the market Is so wen
controlled abroad that foreign agents are
buying over here, and 1t is almost irnpos-
sible to get a contract now. They are fill
ing only the old contracts. Java is the
chief source Of supply for quinne in the
world although the original cinchona bark
from which quinine Is made, was first
grown in Peru. The monthly sale OF Gin
chona bark in Amsterdam sets the price
for the entire world and the sale this
month resulted in IS per cent. advance
over the sale last month, which indicates
that the strong position OF auinine will be
maintained for some time. Quinine has sold
