while looking at the scenery. There
are call bells for the porter and waiter
in the restaurant car. The toilet rooms
on this train are tiled and the upper
part Is of light wood. but both sexes
use the same room and travellers are
advised TO carry their own toilet arti-

of the last car is an observation parlor,
from which a fine view OF the country
can be had.

Western Union Promotion.

A dispatch from New York to the
daily press says that Belvidere H.
Brooks, superintendent of the east
ern division of the Western Union
Telegraph company, has been ap-
pointed general superintendent of
the southern division of the same
company, in place of James Merri-
hew, who has resigned.
Mr.. Brooks formerly lived in Wax
ahachie and was the first operator
who ever held telegraph key in the
city. He was a mere boy and since
that time his promotion has been
rapid. He was transferred from
here to Waco, from there to Gal
weston and then to Denver where he
was made. superintendent Of the
Colorado division. He is related to
the Gibsons of this city and has
some old friends here who will be
glad to hear of his success in life.

THE CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Everything is Now in Readiness
for the Opening.

Everything is now In readiness
for the opening of the public schools
The first meeting of the teachers
will be held in the superintendent's
office Thursday morning Sept. 4th,
at 0 O'Clock.
Immediately after the adjourn
ment-of this meeting the teachers
viii repair to their respective rooms
for the purpose Of examining and
classifying any pupils that may pre-
sent themselves. All new pupils,
by which we aAean those who We're
not in the city schools last year,
will be required to take the entrance
exarpi nations, unless they hold
certificate of promotion from some
other recognized system of graded
schools. Those children, who, for
some reasons, failed to take the eX-
aminations at the close of last ses-
sion, will also be examined at this
time; also, those who failed to make
the required grade on any subject
or subjects at the final examinations
provided they have done systematic
work in such study or studies dur
ing the summer.
Parents and guardians are re-
quested to have their children pres
ent at the above mentioned time for
examination and classification. On
Monday following the schools will
open for regular work, and the
teachers will have little or no time
to classify new pupils.
All former pnpils, as well as new
ones after examination and classifi-
cation, calling at the Superintend-
ents office Thursday morning will be
furnished with printed lists of tho
books they will need during the first
term. A great deal of time can be
saved by calling for these lists and
securing books before school opens.
We would urge upon every parent
and guardian the Importance ofhav-
ing their children present the irst
day of the session. A great many
things vii; be said and done thatev-
cry boy and girl who expects to be
in the schools during theyea should
hear and see. The first day of
| school is the most important day of
the session, for the pupil as well as
the teacher. II parents and guar
dams would have the schools do the
best possible by their children, they
should see that they are present
promptly at 9 O'Clock the first day
of the term and regular in attend
ance thereafter.
With that hearty cooperation of
parents and friends, which we have
always enjoyed, we may confidently
expect a pleasant and profitable year
for the Public Schools of Waxa-
| hachie. WALTER ACKER,

THE BATTLE OF BALLOTS
Voters OF Ellis County viii De.
cidesLocal Option Question.


The local option campaign in Ellis
county came to close with rallies
in Waxahachie, Ennis and Italy,
where addresses were delivered by
prominent speakers on both sides.
Both sides have made "a determined
fight and have had some Of the ablest
speakers In the state to assist in
the campaign.
The Joint dlHcussion In this city
last Night betwen Hon Jake Hodges
for tho antls and Elder w. X, Ho-
man for the pros was heard by a
crowd Of about two thousand people.
Both men are oratorical giants and
they represented their respective
sides in an able and foreefal manner
AZ italy Hon. ]. Hall Bowman
addressed a large crowd in the in
tsrest of anti prohibition.
AT Ennis two meetings were held,
one by the antis and one by the
pros. Hon. Barry Miller spoke for
the antis and Judge NJ. Il. Temple
ton spoke for the pros. Each speak
or had large and enthusiastic
| audience.
| Now that the speakers and other
campaign workers have had their
say the voters will enact the final
scene. The battle of ballots begun
promptly at eight o'clock this
morning and the forces Of each side
are lined up in their full strength.
The indications are favorable for a
heavy vote throught the county.
Both the anti and pro managers are
claiming the county and neither will
| coneeda the other the victory until
the votes are counted.
With the exception of one little
scrap the election I'm Waxabachie
has been free of any unusual de-
monstration. A large crowd has
lthronged the streets since early In
the morning, and voting has been
quite lively. The Indications are
that an unusually large vote will be
polled at the four boxes in the city.
In the election in 1897 total of 1877
votes were polled I'm Waxahaehie
and Ii Is believed this number will
be exceeded today. At y:3D this af-
ternoon 1899 votes had been regis.
tered at the four boxes.
Reports from the country boxes
indicate that both sides are polling
q heavy vote. while Ennis will he q
close second To Waxahachie.

county prohibition executive com.
Imittee, was seen at three O'Clock
this afternoon by the LIGHT report
err. He said: "You may tell the
people that prohibition will win in
Ellis county. From the best infor-
nation obtainable / think the ma
iortty will be anywhere from 900 to
1900 votes
At the anti headquarters Chair
man Strickland expressed himself
as being confident OF success. He
said: "You may say on my author
ity that accordingt to reports received
from the country boxes we are sure
OF success. Everything is moving
along satisfactorily and anti prohi-
bition will win by a good, strong
majority
