A story comes from Omaha to the
effect that a suit in court over the pos
session of a COW was settled by the
COW walking up to and kissing her

means, to be placed in the Nebraska
exhibit at the ST Louis worlds fair.
1t is, by far the best thing we have
ever seen from that state.

Texas Growing smaller
New Survey Cuts off $4,000
Acres, and Leaves Property
Owners In Bad Plight.

Austin, Tex Dec. 7.-Three
portions of boundary lines of the
State of Texas are in dispute, the
latest being the eastern line north
of Red river. There has lust
been filed IN the State Land Office
a report of work under the act of
Congress, of 1901, requiring the
Secretary of the Interior to es-
tabllsh the one hundredth meri-
dian, which forms the eastern
boundary of Texas, from Red
river, in Childress county, north,
to and including Lipscom county.
1t was first understood that the
new line would give rexas strip
of eight niles of the Indian Ter,
rltory, hut the report makes the
startling calculation and fixes the
meridian so that Texas loses a
strip of land three. .fourths of a
mile wide, taking off that much
OF the eastern edge of Lipscomb,
Hemphll, Wheeler, Ceilings
worth and Chlldress counties, a
total loss of 112 half-sections. or
y, 600 acres, which has ALWAYS
been regarded as part of Texas.
1t this corner, as lately marked
Is made permanent, the people
who own the property now on
the west, formerly on the east
side of the line, will be without
title and lose the land as a deed
from Texas will be worthless.
This late location will stand un
less the State of Texas can pre-
vail on Congress to authorize a
joint survey and new line to be
marked.

A few days ago the wife of
John Marsh, the negro condemned
to death for rape, went to the jail
to see her husband, and Sheriff
Horn, noticing that the woman
carried a small satchel, asked to
be allowed to see its contents.
The woman protested there was
nothing in the satchel, but when
1T was opened it was found to con-
tain two large knives. OF course
the knives did not go into the

Washington, Dec. S.--Presi

today the nomination of Mai. MI

That's rejection number one of
the programme submitted to him
last week as furnishing solution

1t is understood that the presi.

giving DR.. Crum, the Charleston
negro, such a juicy plum as that
now held by Maj. Jenkins, though
perfectly willing to transfer the
latter to the marshalship if lie
preferred to have his headquar-
ters in Charleston. Friends of
Crum are much crestfallen over
the announcement, as the fact
that the president was considering
until today and with such care
the programme placed before
him last week had encouraged
them to believe the negro stood a
good chance to land in the inter.

still remains south in the cold

port of Charleston. He is' said

forget. They started to cross
Richardson's creek, which was

cut loose some distance below the
