FOR A BRICK FACTORY.
New Industry To Be Started
Next Spring.

For sometime plans to utilize the
bed of fire clay west of town have been
under consideration. Samples of the
clay and shale have been sent to com.
petent judges for analysis and testing
purposes and have been pronounced
first class in every respect. Pressed
brick of best quality were made from
the samples.
A company composed of M. w.
Hardman, E. A. Page, George James,
c. E. Nelson and c. A. Lewis has pur-
the old poor farm and intends to put
in factory aud begin operations next
spring. The best machinery will be
purchased and. the best skill employed.
The proeuct will be pressed brick and
will be manufactured in quantities
sufficient to supply the home demand
and export trade as well.
There is no doubt that this clay is
the best in the state. The company
formed is of leading business men with
ability, enterprise and capital and it is
certain that the factory will prove of
benefit to the city and country as we'll
as to its managers.

Shooting at Alma.

Saturday afternoon about five
O'Clock a serious shooting ARRAY &C.
cured at Alma, Nebraska In which
Mark Coffey Of this county was
dangerously wounded, receiving a
shot just above the heart.
Several reports of the affair have
been floating so that ii is hard to
give a good account of the occurrence.
1t seems that Mr.. Coffey with his
wife were ina buggy and that he had
been doing some fast driving. Some
say that he had imblbed a little too
freely, but Others say that he was not
drunk, and was not acting very dis
orderly. However, the sheriff thought
1t was necessary to interfere and Or
dered his team to be stopped. Two
or three from the, crowd grabbed the
team by the relns, and the trouble
followed. The one who did the
shooting, Frank Hehe was at or near
the teams head and Coffey got out
and started for him, when Hehe shot
twice with a 3S calibre revolver
which he had with him, the first shot
taking effect.
Mr.. Coffey was removed to the near.
est store and help summoned. At
first, 1t was thought that he could
live only few minutes, but at last
reports he was still alive, with hopes
Of recovery.
Hehe is held In custody OF the
sheriff at Red Cloud. 1t seems that
there is some feeling against the
sheriff at Alma. The incident was
witnessed by a number and each have
different theories. Whether there
was previous trouble between the
parties is not definitely known, and
must await Developments at the
trial.

Louisiana Agents Seeking Labor in
Texas May Find Weevil Quaran-
tine Ineffective.
Galveston News:

Calvert, Textile farmers of
this community are becoming very
much wrought up over the labor
question and feel that Louisiana,
by sending agents right into their
plantations for the purpose of carry
ing away their hands, is imposing
on them. There are some planters
who have expressed themselves as
being imposed upon in the time of
their greatest loss and feel that
Louisiana is taking advantage of
this calamity of boil weevils to do
them great harm. The farmers of
our sister States little know the
habits OF this dreaded cotton insect
when they quarantine against Tex
as cotton and cotton seed and permit
car after car of negro household
effects to be shipped right from
farms when these bugs are thickest
and are found crawling on people
employed in loading them and are
very likely in their bed clothes.

The introduction of a bill calling
for the construction of coastwise
canal along the Texas coast from
the mouth of the Rio Grande to the
mouth of the Sabine, was the very
recent effort of Congressman Gar
ner. This bill is by no means new
in the House, and using the ver-
nacular of legislative bodies, sit has
been up before" The committee to
which it was referred is said to have
not met in many years, though
venturing to assert from the unique
way by which MIR. Garner, handled
the bill, he gave proof of being
thoroughly qualified, and to have
started something" for which that
ancient committee will long have
cause to remember the young Tex
an. The construction of the canal
would be useful and beneficial in
many ways. In fact its essentially
is concomitant to the successful de.
velopment of the entire lower coast
country.

WHATEVER may be thought OF the

be compared with the Texas Repub-

ated their own political institutions
When they asked for recognition as
an independent State they had an
Independent State to offer for in

The Texas delegation met at
Washington last week and agreed

ton commission to consist of the

! try, the chief of the bureau of en-

lana. The duties of this body shall
be to prepare under the secretary's
direction such plans for lessening
the damage cause by the weevil and
other insects and diseases injurious
to cotton as may be deemed best
Section two appropriates 100000,
half of which is made Immediately
available, to be known as the cot
ton fund, and to be exclusively ap-
piled to the purposes mentioned.
The secretary is given plenary power
in the expenditure of this money.
Section three makes it the duty of
the secretary to prepare rules and
regulations requisite to carrying
into effect the purposes of the bill
and requires him to certify them to

ened region, the cooperation OF
which he is to invite. Section four
