The article in THE TIMES last
week with reference to our gas wells
seems to be bearing fruit. Mr.. II. Il.
Jockey informed us yesterday that ne
had received an inquiry in answer to
the article from big glass manufac-
turing concern in the east and that
arrangements are now being made to
have Representatives of the company
here the fore part of June to investi-
gate the field. This is monied con-
Germ and will not ask the city or COM
uunIty to furnish their business capl-
tai and give them everything in sig mt.
Influential Kansas men are interested
In the deal and, from what we can
gather, there Is a good prospect to 10
cate this company.
Don't despair because you have a
weak constitution. The yitalizing

They Like 1t.

She's fairer than a lilly,
And she's sweeter than a rose.
And She knocks the neighbors silly
When she yields the garden hose.
She lifts her skirts from danger
With her left hand. while her right
Grasps the nozzle, and the stranger
Gets a very pleasing sight.
The neighbors' eyes all twinkle
And their interest daily grows,
For they like to see her sprinkle,
And they like to see her hose.

Our old Wilson county friend. T. j.
Binning, was in our office last Satur-
day with his head tied up and his face
looking like peeled onion. On in
ouiry we found that Mr.. BinniDg had
undertaken to melt some sugar Tor
syrup in an air-tight can. The results
were, as he loOsened the lid to take
peep, the condensed steam and not
syrup blew the lid off and covered his
face and head with the hot sub
stance. He is very thankful that
worse results did not follow his
ttOIghtlessness.
Mr.. Binning reports several mishaps
that came near being serious, in his
noighborhood, as result of the ex-
cessive rain on Wednesday of last
week. The sloughs and creeks were
all out of their banks in short time,
and number of people had narrow
escapes in trying to cross.
Charley Anderson with his daugh-
ter. in a buggy, attempted to drive
across the slough near Mr.. A. earle,
sons when the buggy was upset and
he ard his daughter thrown into the
rushing water. With some dlmculty
they were both rescued by the pelgn
bors. not much the worse for thell
little ducking.
Tom York, who is hauling milk fol
the creamery, undertook to cross the
run near VIM. Hanson's when hi!
wagon bed floated off and started
down stream. Miss Maggie Hanson
saw the accident from an upstairs
window, and with great presence o.
mind rushed down stairs, bareheadee
and barefooted, without a wrap, ou
into the binding rain to the stable
and hastily bridling horse sprang OF
and rode to the swollen stream. ben,
on rescuing the driver. She reached
the stream in time to see Mr.. Yorl
swim out. Mr.. York's little boy hat
been driving the wagon and thi
heroic girl, surprising the boy was il
the water, thought only of saving
him from drowning, regardless of TIT
danger to herself There are thous
ands of heroes and heorines in Kan
sas who have never heard Filipino
bullet sing, but they are heroes al
the same.
Peter Anderson forded Village
Icreek the same evening. The water
surged over his wagon bed and floatec
him around but by rare good luck the
he'd stuck and he got out all right.
People should not take these risks
vet they will do it. 1t had been 81

THE TRIP OF THE LAWRENCE
DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED ON
ITS VOYAGE.
Took Eight Hours to Reach Ming
nolia PRrl--went Aground Twice.
Reached Galveston safe.

Galveston. September 1.-THE steamer
Lawrence. with water and provisions from
Houston arrived at a. M The trip was a
most tedious one, unavoidable delays being
numerous. Although o'clock Monday mora
ing was the hour scheduled for tho departure
the boat did not get away from her moorings
at tho foot of Main street until $500 Con-
siderable time was lost at the old and un-
used San Antonio and Arkansas Pass bridge,
one end OF which had been blown around
aud jsmmcd into the bank during the storm.
and which had TO DO forced around before the
boat could proceed.
somt time was also consumed in securing
water barrels and filling them at one OF the
presses down the bayou from Houston The
current was very swift and ia order that
there might be no chance OF an accident
Captain Ward was compelled to allow the
Lawrence to drop down stream stern fore
most. This, of course. was very slow work.
She was not turned until short distance
ABOVE Magnolia park. which was reached eight
hours after the time OF departure Twice the
steamer went aground In San Jacinto bay.
lheing assisted the first time by the Eugene
and the second time by the Juno. which took
down the barge load OF provisions secured
by tho second Houston relief committee. Tho
Lawrence and the Juno reached Galveston
lat the same time and the provisions and
water were turned over to tho local relief
committee.

IN WILLIAMSON COUNTY.


Taylor. Texas. September 12.--The con-
flctlng reports in regard to the damage
done the cotton crop In this section by
the storm have been puzzling to those
Interested In occurring reliable iuforma-
ton. From the best sources for cor
rect statement 1t is now apparent that
about 20 per cent of the cotton opened
has been destroyed, which Is equivalent
to 10 or 10 per cent damage to the crop
AS an actual loss to the farmer this per
cent will doubtless be largely reduced by
the increase of the market price occa-
stoned by the reported damage.
Mayor Black was handed telegram
this morning from the superintendent of
the line in st. Louis stating that agents
are authorized to transmit dispatches con-
veying relief to the Galveston sufferers
free OF charge. Tho citizens OF Taylor
have already sent liberal contribution
in money. and an effort Will nosg be made
to collect quantity OF clothing and sup
plies to be forwarded as soon as possible,
The mayor and city attorney have vol
unteered TO act as a committee to receive
and forward all donations.
