Never in the history Of medicine has

From the Atlantic to the Pacific,

of this great continent come the glad

by it, and thousands upon thousands

THE bonus is in sight Our land
owners are coming no nobly,
and pledging the required acreage.
The cash bonus is also progressl b
favorably. 1t is gratifying to see
how the spirit of progress spreads.
None of our leading capitalists can
afford to have it said OF them that
they stood in the way OF the general
good by refusing to do their part.
All realize that the proposition
made us by Mr.. Lott is by far the
surest ever yet offered, and with the
absolute assurance of a railroad
within fifteen months, our people
feel that they should spare no
effort to raise the bonus. And there
is no longer any doubt as TO the
bonus. 1t will be raised.

THE little town of Beeville, when
it had only a few hundred in
habitants raised a bonus of 100000
in hard cash for the Arkansas Pass
railroad. Later on it raised 100000
to secure the extension of the
Macaroni road from Victoria. 1t is
now one of the most fourishing
towns in the State with scores of
handsome and stately residences,
fine business houses and hotels.
and every evidence OF wealth and
progress, with more than five times
the population it had befer the Sap
was built there. If Il village of less
than 400 inhabitants could raise
100000, it should he mere child's
play for Brownsville to raise
$4,000.

OF Brownsville: "Mr. Jim Denton

to take charge of the BROWNSVILLE

friends in Pleasanton. He is a good
newspaper man, but unfortunately
for him, his mind runs pretty
strongly along lines of political
economy, for which the world is not
ready yet, and he is entirely too
conscientious, and too sympathetic
for his felloNman, to ever accumu-
late much of this worlds goods.
He Is too quick to go to the bottom
OF his pocket after help for his fell

age, calls this fault. 1t may be,
but we are always glad to meet

Mr.. Denton says he punched out
the bottom of his pocket just before
he reached Brownsville, and it will
be several weeks before he is able

Once within the gates OF the walied
city. the party was beset by rabble. and
was met with demands for money.
At the outset the Chinese were COM

fused their request for coin the Mongolians
hurled stones at the visitors and drove them
In terror to the five-story pagoda. where
they were temporarily free from molesta-
ton.

mob had almost overpowered the Amer
leans. when Doctor Young revived. and the
three left the walled city with all possible
speed.
Mr. Kavanaugh declares the center of the
impending revolution is in Southern China.
and not in the north. where the last out
break occurred.
Canton and the southern Provinces" he
said, where there was no activity during
the uprising In 1909. are now thoroughly
alive with cutthroats. Tie Chinese are pro-
curing arms and ammunition in open VIOLA
tion OF the treaty with the Powers at the
time the former uprising was settled.
THE movement is being planned careful

ippines have gone to China, and are en-
gagged in drilling and training the Chinese.
It Is my belief that the uprising will take
place at a not far-distant date"

Action Of Principal Bryan and

1t Is Believed.

pade. which, sseHssd TIE sSehool Board to
refuse to graduase thenis I'm the class on

The news OF the closing of the 'tacky-
party" Incident spread like wildflre through
the school, and the escapade that kept the
boys on the anxious bench for a month
was discussed anew by the pupils. The
boys 1t will be remembered, appeared in a
classroom in masquerade costume.
Mr. Bryan declined to discuss the affair.
further than to say that the incident had
been satisfactorily closed.
Apparently great sympathy was mani
tested among the pupils for the boys. who
have been waiting to know the result OF
their escapade and universal good feeling
marked the happy termination Of the af-
fair.
After the days session the boys filed into
Mr. Bryans office ard received with their
diplomas few kindly words wishing them
success in their careers.
While the incident closed without serious
punishment being meted out to the Offend

members OF the "tacky party before they
learned the decision of the board not only
caused them to reflect seriously upon the
gravity of their misconduct, but was COM

lieved the action of the board will have a
good effect upon the discipline Of the school.

The electric road will cross the Burlins-

well, the Chicago and Alton in Glasgow.
the Wabash in New Florence, and the
Missouri Kansas and Texas in Fayette.
1t is proposed 10 erect three main power
houses over coal mines which the company
will purchase This will give cheap fuel.
About $4,000 has already been spent in
the surveys Eighty per cent OF the mile
age will have grade of less than l per
cent, while only about 5000 feet of the road
will be difficult engineering. The company
will operate freight passenger and express
cars, the freight being moved principally
at night. 1t is thought that the fast trains
can run at a speed OF forty miles an hour.
Through trains and accommodations will be
operated
The history of the organization of the
road is interesting. About year ago
Doctor r. H. Jones. president Of the State
University in Columbia. wrote to Eastern
capitalists concerning the prospects for
having an electric line built from Column
bia to Fulton, a distance of only twenty-five
miles. At present. students of the Univer-
sity who live near Fulton are compelled to
n axe several changes before reaching Co
lumbia.
The result OF investigation by the East
erners is the present projected line. Colonel
Chase is backed by Eastern capitalists who
will furnish the money. 1t is expected that
work on the road will begin in the spring.
1t is announced that rates Will be very
much lower than those now charged by the
railroads. Three or four years ago officials
Of the Wabash. which runs north of the
line, spent three days in looking over their
route with a view to changing 1t into an
electric line, but finally decided that before
the work could be completed, cheaper
methods would make the venture unDroflt-
