The report Of the committee on laws

SENSATIONAL COURT SCENE
County Road Guard Arrested on
Charge OF EmbezzIement.

The county commissioners court
did not adjourn yesterday afternoon
as was stated in the Light of last
evening. The commissioners had
about completed their work and
were nearly ready to adjourn when
a matter of a sensational nature de-
veloped, which required them to re-
main in session today to con
tinue an investigation. Among the
last items yesterday afternoon de-
manding attention was the quarter
ly report of Ike Barfleld, boss of the
road gang in Commissioner Nose
ley's precinct. The expense bill for
that quarter appeared to be unus-
ually large, creating some suspicion
on the part of the commissioners
Dthat all was not just exactly right.
A rigid Investigation was instituted
From the facts which were devel-
oped in the Investigation, it seems
that Barfield has been buying sup
plies from Edwards, Morrel d Co,
of Milford. At the same time he
was drawing money from the same
firm under the representation that
he was buying feed with it. The
amounts ranged from $2S to $40, and
ii Is alleged that the total amount
thus obtained by Barfield will
amount to about 300. In the mean
time very little feed was used at the
camp, except what was furnished
from the county farm or bought by
the commissioners. Barfield claims
to have bought "S2s worth of corn
Wednesday, but an investigation
made at his camp yesterday after
noon disclosed the fact that there
was not an ear of corn on hand and
but very little hay. A complaint
was sworn out against Barfield this
morning by Sheriff Sweat, charging
him with embezZlement. The de-
fendant was arrested and his bond
set at 500. Failing to give this be
was placed in Jail TO await further
investigation of the matter. A MEM
Der of the Milford firm, from whom
Barfield obtained the money, has
been with the court all day checking
up the report. The investigation
will be continued until everything
connected with Barfield's accounts
is brought to light.

STRONG PLEA FOR TEXAS
Chicago Business Men Are Told
About Her Resources.

At special meeting of the Ma

wortham of Austin, Texas, general
manager OF the Texas worlds fair
commission who was present by in
vitation to respond to the sentiment,
1.-THE State of Texas"
Mr.. Wortham's address was in

What does Texas contribute to

states it is alone miniature of the

cry variety of agricultural and frulf

western hemisphere and an indefin-
itely wider diversity Of raw material
| than any of it's rivals. No similar
area upon this or any other conti-
/ nent is capable Of producing in such
Incompatible quantities the neces-
| sites of life--food, timber, iron and

have builded upon the inviting
shores of Lake Michigan the finest

To this end ! call upon the men
who are shaping the progress and
determining the objective points Of

the witness stand. These are not

look into the future with a. sure a
vision as the accredited prophets.
When they employ millions In ex-

are they eonverRing almost without

traversing Texas from the east and

capacity for production, must be-
come the base of supply in the es-
sential necessities for the United

THE QUEEN RECOVERING.

The dispatches from The Hague
have a more hopeful tone. The fact
that thanksgiving has been offered Of
ficlally, for the preservation Of the life
Of the queen, must be taken as evil
dence that all danger IS over and that
the royal patient is on the road TO re-
coyery.
Queen Wilhelmlna was born on Aug
81, 1850, and Is therefore barely TWEEN
ty-one years old. She has reigned
since Aug. 81. 1898. But notwlth-
standing her youth she has had as
much sad experience, as many disap-
polntments as any common mortal,
born to a more humble station In life
than hers. During the brief period Of
time in which the crown has adorned
her majestic brow she has indeed
been an object OF sympathy.
When towards the end Of 1900 It was
announced that the queen had selected
Duke Henry Of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
for consort, It was hoped that he would
pattern after the life OF the amented
Prince Albert Of Sake Coburg, who sue
ceeded so well in gaining the
hearts Of he English people as he had
first won that Of the queen, but the
marriage bells had barely sounded, be-
fore that hope was dlspclled. Bumors
were circulated especially In French
papers. to the effect that domestic quar-
rels disturbed the happiness Of tla
royal household, and that the prince
consort had been forced to Tight "A
couple Of duels in consequence Of In
eultlng words addressed 10 the queen,
The rumors were officially denied by
the Rotterdam Courant, and the Paris
Temps stated that the base rumors
had originated IN Flemish and Socialist
papers. But although these denlals
were made on the highest authority"
the rumors continued and found cree
dence.
Then came the illness Of the queen
and the dissipation Of the hope that
the country should be given an heir
10 the throne. This Is a peculiarly in
.erestlng aspect OF the situation. 1t
appears that, according to the laT Of
he Netherlands, II an heir is not born
n five years after the marriage, this
Win be dissolved by the parliament, and !
t the queen has son, she is to abb
llcate In his favor when ne reaches
he mature age Of IS years.
