THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
The Ladies Have a plan 10 Establish
this Institution.

The ladies who have had the public
library under consideration have ma
t1red plan which they believe will
result in the establishment of this
much needed institution, and will at
once begin q canvass of the city to
that end. The plan in brief is this:
Members will be admitted at the price
of 81 so which will entitle them to
free access to the library for the term
of two and one half years, the money
thus paid in TO go towards the pur-
chase of books. At the expiration of
this membership fee yearly dues of
fifty cents per member will be col
lected. Already the ladies have re-
ceived q proposition from a promi-
nent business house to give the libra
ry space and care fer the books free
OF charge, and this troublesome prob
lem is thereby eliminated. Donations
OF books will be accepted for the Ii
brary and the money collected from
membership fees and dges Will go 10
the purchase of standard reference
books. Parties desiring to become
members can telephone their names
to either Miss Emma Davis or Mrs. j.
l.. Mccartney. These ladies together

Waco, Texas, Feb. "A, 1902,
Hon. Dudley G.. Wooten,
Dallas, Texas.
August Sir The mails bring me q
letter signed In autograph by your
High Mightiness in which you express
surprise that / should support Jack
Beatl for Congress. AS the supreme
censor OF moral and political conduct
In this district, you further proceed to
lecture me for daring to write letters
in his behalf without asking your con-
sent, or, To put the matter more cor
rectiy, you seek to scorch and blight
me with the fierce breath CT your
wrath for bidding farewell to all your
greatness and giving my influence 10
my friend and fellow citizen, Jack
Beall. True, In burst OF gracious
condescension, you hint that / am
perhaps a. liberty to support MIR.
Beall, but you add the significant pro-
viso that to vote for an Ellis county
man sis q very narrow basis on which
to predicate q choice for Congress-
mann--from which / infer that the
broad and liberal "basis'' Is to cling to
the Hon. Dudley q. Wooten, the Trim

whom God preserve lest all knowi-
edge OF statecraft perish from the
earth.
But as the last straw to break the
hump of your forbearance, you assert

Sends a Reply to that Gentleman's Letter in
Language that MeltS the Wires

Below give tn text of letter addressed to N Rob
ert Matthews, of this city BY Congressman Wooten IN
which that gentleman takes Mr. Matthews to task for sup
porting Jack Bea for congress- and following Mr. Wootens
letter we append Mr.. Matthews reply. 1t might be said
in the beginning that Mr.. Wootens statement that Mr.
Matthews had known him long time and PofsSsed to be
his friend is quite stretch of the imagination, as Mr.
Matthews never met Mr.. Wooten until hs1 SUMMER and
was then engaged in the audable undertaking Of prevent
ing hs nomination to congress. Hereis Mr. Wooens letter.

Washington, D. c., Jan. %, 1902.
Mr.. Robt. Matthews,
Waxahachie, Texas.
Dear Sir: A friend of mine in Tex
40 writes me that he recently met you
In Waco and that you were busy send
idg out personal letters all over Hill
county in the interest OF Mr.. Beall in
his candidacy for Congress against me.
I am little surprised at this. You
have known me for long time ard
have professed TO be my friend and
this IL rather q strange way of exhib-
iting your friendship. You are of
course at perfect liberty to support
Mr.. Beal on the score of his being An
Ellie county man, although this is a
very narrow basis on which to predi-
cate choice tor Congressman, but 1t
seems that you are stretching your
support little beyond ordinary limits
when yoa make it your business to
use your personal anu business infiu-
ence to build him up and tear me
down.
| simply wanted to let you know
that have heard of your conduct and
do not consider itI either friendly or
consistent. Yours very truly,
(sigued) Dudley @. Wooten.

The Colonisl tea given yesterday
afternoon and last night under the

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most competent
authorities. They have dispelled
the silly notion that one kind OF
food is needed for brain, another for
muscles. and still another for bones.
A correct diet will not only nurish
particular part of the body, but it
will sustain every other part. Yet,
however good your food may be, its
nutriment is destroyed by indiges-
ton or dyspepsia. You must pre-
pare for their appearance or pre-
vent their coming by taking regular
doses of Greene's August Flower, the
favorite medicine of the healthy
millions. A few doses aids diges-
ton, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifes the blood, and makes
you feel bouyant and vigorous. You

remedies at Fox Bros. Get Greene's

Bodies Fail to Rise

Madison, is.--Today being
the ninth day since L. George
Lohr of Milwaukee and Ada
Louisa Howley of Madison were
drowned in Lake Mendoza many
people believed that the bodies
would rise to the surface. Per-
haps hundred people at various
times during the day were look
ing for the bodies, either in boats
or carefully scanning the surface
with spy glasses from the high
shores. The search with Crap
ping tackle was abandoned days
ago and the opinion is now gain
ing that the bodies will never be
recovered.

How Cheap Baking Powder is Made

The Health Department of New
York has seized a quantity of So
called baking powder, which it found
in that city. Attention was at
tracted to it by the low price at
which it was being sold in the de-
partment stores. Samples were
taken and the chemists of the health
department reported the stuff to be
ian alum powder which analysis
showed to be composed chiefly. of
alum and puiverized rock.
The powder was declared to be
dangerous to the health, and several
thousand pounds were carried to the
offal dock and destroyed.
It is unsafe to experiment with
these SO called cheap" articles OF
of food. They are sure to be made
from alum, rock, or other injurious
matter. In baking powders, the
high class cream of tartar brands
are the most economical, because
they go farther in use and are
healthful beyond question.

Monroe Free of Typhoid

Monroe, Wis, June, 20. The
report has appeared in a Mil
waukee paper that owing to a
rapid spread of typhoid fever the
schools of the city have been
closed, the commencement exer-
cises indefinitely postponed,
alumni banquet declared off,
churches and Sunday school and
city library closed and public
gathering prohibited. The facts
are there is not a, single case of

new cases reported for a week,
but when memb Der of the
graduating class became victim
of the disease the exercises were
not permitted. The churches
and Sunday schools suspended
voluntarily, the former for last
Sunday only. Some of the
schools we're closed two weeks
ago and the others closed
regularly this week, having
reached the end of the term. The
report appearing in the Milwau-
kee Journal was read at a meet
ing of the Monroe Business
Mems Association and a request

Liberal to Widow.

Marquette. The action of the
great camp Of the Maccabees at
Marquette last week, in allowing
the $4,000 death claim of William
Tissing, of this city, involves
facts that make the case a re
markable one. The man lost his
Iifea week ago Sunday by drown
ing in the river here in an at
tempt to save his two sons. A
week or two before he made an
application for membership in
the local tent Of the Maccabees,
and although he successfully
passed the medical examination
and his certificate papers had
been approved he had not been
initiated into the lodge.
The approval papers were re
ceived from the headquarters at
Port Huron on the afternoon OF
May 28th. The lodge had a
meeting that evening but as the
time was too short in which to
notify Missing to be on hand the
matter of initiation went over to
the next session, on June II.
Missing however lost his life on
June s. The particulars were
explained to the great camp and
although Missing had not actual
ly been member the payment
of the face OF his proposed policy
was voted to the widow.

Dallas is gayly decorated in honor of
the veterans, and every arrangement for
their comfort and pleasure has been
made. Estimates by leading railroad
men are at least 100000 persons will at
tend the reunion. These estimates are
based on the number Of trains engaged in
advance On several roads freight traf-
flc will be entirely or partially suspended
during tho four days of tho reunion, as
there will be little room for anything
but the passenger equipment.
The first train load Of visitors to al
rive came from Mississippi. To-day other
delegations from Mississippi, Louisiana
and Tennessee came in, and many of the
Southeastern States are due tonight and
tomorrow morning. Gems. Gordon and

The Stale, April 20: The Comptroller
General has recently received number

Pensions has not yet paid out the pen
sion money. Mr.. Derham says that the
same law that requires the pensions to
be paid by the first Monday in Aprli re-
Ilires the lists to be on file in Columbia
by February 1. The County Boards this
year failed to get in the reports until
after the time the payments should have
been made in many instances, though
earnest appeals wero made. Even now
many applicants have had to bo sent
back for further information to be sup
piled before the State Board can com
plete its work.
