uniformity textbook law, closed to-

mishing of book agents at the Capitol

get their bids in the hands of Secretary
Of State Cook, and their certified
checks, which are required to be de-
posted with the treasurer.
GWenty-siX companies submitted

sorts and kinds in the State Hou-e.

QUEER CAUSES OF FIRES.
Cat May Have Set Gin AbIaze-Ad-
juster's Experiences.

Cat May Have Set Gin AbInze-Ad-
juster's Experiences.
From the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat.
"A fire insurance adjuster runs afoul
of many queer happenings" said one of
these gentlemen a short time ago.
Il once had to adjust a fire loss in
a country cotton gin. The gin wasn't
totally destroyed and the origin of the
flre was complete mystery, not a soul
In connection with the gin being able
10 explain the cause of the fire. All
precautions necessary in a steam gin
plant had been carefully observed and
no fre or matches had been permitted
near the cotton. After careful inVesti-
CATION with no results l began to ex-
anime the burned part of the building
and it struck me that some substances
might have struck the teeth of the gin
and ignited the cotton. After a most
careful search, what do you think I
found? Some small charred bones,
which offered sufficient explanation. /
showed the bones to the manager of the
gin and after thinking a moment he
exclaimed: why that's all that's left
of our old cat and her kitten He said
that he had missed the cat and kittens,
but thought they had been destroyed
III the lire anu never dreamed tndt
they had caused the fire. From this
explanation it appeared that the cat
took her kittens to the cotton bin above
the gin and having gone to sleep was
carried down into the gin, and the
bones striking the saws caused the fire.
Another case came under my obser-
walton, which caused me some amuse-
ment. A saloonkeeper had a fire,
during which eighteen barrels of whis-
ky were rolled out of the building, and
after the fire was put out they were
rolled back. The damage was very
slight on the building and stock. but
he claimed a loss of about one-third
of each barrel of whisky rolled, caused,
as he claimed, by leakage. The barrels
were gagged, but / didn't believe him
and held up his claim. I soon after
ward got hold of the revenue inspector
for the district and got his report on
the mans whisky, which proved that
at the time of the fire there was more
whisky in the barrels than there was
when the inspector gagged it, which
was a violation of the internal revenue
law. The inspector took my cue and
Immediately went down and made an
other inspection with the result that
the saloonkeeper was fined $500 for hav-
ing contraband whisky on hand and in
addition eight barrels Of the liquor We're
forfeited. Did 1 pay the claim? Well,
/ guess not"

several papers on his person showing
that he had been dishonorably dismiss

pretty good scare, which seemed to
F. sober him. After he had been confined
in the waiting room for about an hour
he admitted that he had no grievance
against the President, but simply want
ed to get reinstated in the service, from
which he said he had been unjustly dis
missed. His grievance was against the
officials of the Navy Department, since
he was released after SOLDERING up.
The most sensational reports were
sent all over the country early in the
day, as the result of the Elliott Incl
dent. In New York it was reported
that the President had been attacked
and that he drew his revolver and shot
and wounded the murderous crank.
Other stories of a more or less sensa-
tional nature were freely circulated and
the greatest excitement prevailed
throughout the city. The question was
frequently asked: us there a con-
spiracy to remove President Roosevelt"

Laredo Yesterday.
Laredo, Tex, Oct. 5.-To-days Of
fetal bulletin shows there have been
twenty-five new cases of yellow fever,
with no deaths. This makes the total
number of cases to date, eighty-three,
while the total deaths have been five.
While to-day has shown a very large

Drs. Guiteras and Tabor, concur in
the opinion that there is no cause for

a foothold there.
Conditions in Nuevo Laredo are
greatly improved Travel will be re-

far as through freight for Alice is con-
cerned.
The authorities have decided that
those who fed from fear of the fever
will not be allowed to return to Laredo

One more case of fever has appear
ed at Monterey, the case being that of
a woman servant. Commercial bust
