authorities at Austin, that on
September LIST, 1903, the Texas
state treasury will have a cash sur
plus of 100000, after deducting all
demands. In view Of this opinion
il would seem that so rich state
might equip state agricultural
department, and much needed ex-
pertinent stations; and few thous-
ands of dollars Of this surplus
might with profit to the state be
devoted to establishing a system OF
farmers Institutes. All these
things will be done by the next

IMMIGRANT
Held as pauper on Elk's Island
Son to the Rescue.
WIlsonburo llner Secures eertin-
Gates of His Ability to Keep Him.

r. H.E
Geryeio chipano. an italian coal
miner at wilsonburg, received word
from New York City that his father
was being held on Ellis Island as a
pauper and that on that account the
Commissioner of Immigration would
not permit him to land. 1t appears
that the son here had sent the father
money to Italy to come to this country
but the amount was sufficient only TO
pay his passage. Upon the receipt Of
the message from New York Chipano
ascertained what proceedings were
necessary in the case and went to
work TO get his father released before
he was sent back to his old
home. He got certificates from John
B. Strother and NJ. j. Francis stat
ing that he was amply able to provide
for his father, and he came to the city
this morning with other Italians and
went to the County Clerks Office,
where he secured the impress of the
county seal and then forwarded the
papers to the Immigration Commits
sioner. They may not reach their
destination in time, however, to pre-
vent his relative from being sent back
to Italy.

account. He went to his home after
the accident almost blind. Some of

night to see DR.. Hardman, specialist.
The DIR. found his eye in very bad con
aition and it is somewhat doubtful, II
the sight can be saved but DR.. Hard
man hopes to pull him through all
right. The loss of this. eye would
make him entirely blind.

The Charge by Wm. Bell Against
Preacher.
Pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church.
coiored. Is the one Charged.
Result of Charge Brought Against
Bell For Stealing Church Money.

A case OF unusual interest is on the
docket at Justice Gordon's court. The
Rev. ]. A. Watson, pastor of the Mt.
Zion colored Baptist Church, is
charged with perjury.
Last Tuesday, William Bell, colored,
was arrested at the instance of Rev.
J. A. Watson, pastor OF the Mt. Zion
Baptist Church, upon the charge of
using about $40 of the funds Of the
church which he had solicited and col
lected. The warrant was issued from
Squire David's court, and at the hear
ing there the warrant was dismissed
against Bell. 1t seems that he had
only collected se IS and wanted to
turn the amount over to the church
but the church would not receive it as
it was claimed that he had collected
more than that amount. Bell ex-
planned that the balance of the
money was promised but had not been
paid, and that that amount was ali
that he had collected.
Thursday morning, Bell swore out
warrant in Squire Gordon's court
against the Rev. j. A. Watson, charg-
ing him with perjury. He claims that
the minister had sworn falsely that he
had collected certain moneys when he
had not.
Constable Mcclung served the war.
rant upon the preacher this morning.
He appeared in court, but owing to
absence of witnesses, the case was
postponed and will come up for hear
ing probably tomorrow.
