MIR. and Mrs. Joe Hesser Writes From Orange,
Texas.
| ORANGE, TEXAS, February Is. 1908
A. L. FoNTAINE,
DEAR FRIEND:-I am sending YOU
under separate cover, one of our
'Orange Iribunes," that was printed
on paper manufactured in our paper
mill here.
We are well pleased with our
prospects here, but for all that, it
don't seem as though we can make up
our minds to make the south our
permanent home. The summers here
are very hot and not extremely
healthy, as one is subject to chills and
fever all the time. Although very
few cases are serious ones, or result
fatally, the disease in itself is a very
unpleasant one.
The weather this winter has been
very pleasant. 1t is very seldom that
one needs to wear an 0vercOat. Roses
bloom here in the gardens all winter
long. and the fragrant blue viOletS are
now poisoning profuSely. A neigh
Dor of ours has cabbage, lettuce and
beetS in his vegetable garden now,
and peas III blossom. 1t seems hard
for Us to realize that you are having
sleighing and lots Of cold weather.
1t would seem nice to have a sleigh
ride, but we don't expect to have one
this winter. We have read in the
papers of the billiards up north
Instead of billiards here, we have had
heavy rain storms. it has been raining
now nearly Il week.
Here in Orange We do not have
much mud. The roads dry off very
quickly, but at Beaumont. where the
oil wells are, all the streets except
those that are paved, are almost |
for teams. Those who |
wish their trunks taken TO their |
destination, have to pay from five to |
ten dollars to have them taken only a |
few blocks, and two trunks are con- |
Sidered load for two horse team

important Notice TO Farmers Concerning
oat Smut.

All Wisconsin farmers have without
doubt noticed smutted heads Of oats
in their fields from time to time, but
probably few of them realized the
enormous loss due to this fungous
pest. The Experiment Station at
Madison has been carefully Investigate
| ing the subject for several years past
and last season it studied smut in Oat
| fields in a large number Of counties in
| the state. From these studies it
estimates that the loss to the Oat crop
| for the whole state amounts to II per
| Cent.-that is, our farmers might
| have had L bushels more of oats for
every hundred that they actually
secured. The Station estimates that
| the total loss due to oat smut last
season was at least five million dollars.
1t was found during these visits to
| farms that many 0at raisers thought
they had little or no smut in their
crop. yet when it was carefully
examined losses were found ranging
from five to thirty-five per cent. A
perfect remedy for oat smut is
announced by the Experiment Station.
which tells US that the chemical used
costs but one cent for each buShel of
seed oats treated, Our farmer readers
wishing to know in full of the treat
ment for oat smut should send postal
card to Agricultural Experiment
Station, Madison, Wis. asking for
copy OF bulletin 98, which gives full
directions for treating seed oats to
prevent smut

An enthusiastic meeting was held
in the FRirst ward Saturday evening.
the candidates on the Citizens ticket
addressing the large concourse of vot-
ers who had gathered to hear the is
sues of the city campaign as told by
representative citizens The voters
of the First ward have long tired of
being under the whim of a supposed
representative in the council and
voiced their sentiments of approval
OF a change at the meeting Saturday
evening. This being the home ward
of ]. NJ. Brooks, the reception accord
ed him by his neighbors and friends
who will support his candidacy for al
derman was tremendous. Captain T.
j. Taylor again explained the rotten
ness in the sewer system, the chief is
sue of the campaign, the character
of the men on the Citizens ticket and
earnestly asked the support of the
ticket at the polls. U. NJ. Jones spoke
of the responsibilities of a city Office
and pledged his honor that if elected
he would give this city his untiring
efforts in defending it from the greed
and graft which are now rampant in
the city hall The applause which
greeted the appearance of the Rev.
Humphrey was a repetition of the
Thursday evening meeting and it was
several minutes before quiet was re-
stored. In his usual painstaking man
ner the next mayor carefully and
clearly reviewed the misdeeds of the
past administration and the desire of
a great majority of the citizens to rear
a splendid city here, not by graft but
by honesty in all public matters. His
speech was frequently interrupted by
applause and at the close he was con-
graduated by the voters of the ward
Tor his mastery presentation.
The meeting was addressed by J. M.
Brooks who declared that if elected he
would serve his constituents to the
best Of his ability and would always
work for the interests of his com
munity.
Harvey Olds made a stem-winding
speech that set the meeting afre He
entertained the voters with an inter
esting collection of figures concern
ing the rotten sewer deal and the in
famous stone quarry deal and the eff
feet produced was manifested in the
murmurs heard in the audience.

Another incandescent farce of the
present city administration, which the
Republican candidate for mayor un-
equivoeally endorses, is one which has
been puzzle and marvel to Guth-
rie people for many months.

The peoples rights have ever been
disregarded. Tho people have been
baked, hoodwinked and worked at
every turn, but in the Island park
wells fasco. they were played for the
suckers clear to the handle.
Be il known that the sum Of $50, 900
was squandered in Island park wells.
What is to show for this expendit-
ure?
Eight dollars!ll
That Is the amount left in the well
fund.-
And what OF the wells?
There are none.
The city council jumped into Island
park with great splash. They CON
uacted for wells and viaduets. The
park was dug. The ground was prob
ed in four places.
Today the wells in Island park are
filed with dirt and refuse, a monument
to the stupidity of the administration
which the sewer candidate for mayor
endorses.

The city campaign is on good and
strong. Everybody is talking relative
to the chances of the two tickets in
the field. The people supporting the
sewer ticket are on the anxious bench,
and there are runners TO the effect
that Ex-Governor Barnes may with

is said, has high political ambitions.
and he does not relish risling the pos
sibility of defeat. The candidate for
the sewer element realizes Humphreys
strength and he has been in constant
consultation with the sewer managers.
Everything possible is being done TO
save the sewer ticket from dismal dis
grace. 1t is said Governor Barnes will
definitely decide as to his formal with
drawal on Tuesday next.
