A thin, vapory smoke, 1azily ascending
from its crater may be the only visible sign
of life in the sleeping volcano, but within
is a raging sea of fire, molten rock and sui
phurous gases. Those who make their
homes in the peaceful valleys below know
the danger and, though frequently warned
by the runblings and quakings, these
SIGNS of impending eruption go unheeded.

new TRACK IS PROBABLE


Dallas Times-Herald.
The Rock Island Railway COM
pany hes made . new move locally
aad IL is one that 10 thought to- be Of
much significance. There were filed
in the office of the county clerk OF
Dallas county today two deeds that
may signify much. They convey
from +. H. Campbell and S. r.
Campbell and ID. w. Webb to the
Chicago, Rock Island and Gulf
Railway company the right and
title to long strips of land lying by
the side OF the Houston and Texas
Central right-of-way. One of these
strips is just south of Hutchins, the
other is about midway between Dal.
las and Hutchins. The purchase of
this land at this time is believed by
all to mean that the Rock Island is
preparing to 'double-track the Cen
tral at least as far south as Corsi-
cana. AS has been intimated, it
may be that an air line from Corsi-
cana to the Gulf will be constructed.
The purchase of the right of-way
referred to is taken as a positive In
dication of the truth of the rumors
concerning the double track. How
ever, there Is no official OF the sys-
tenn in Dallas who claims to know
any more than what he has been
told TO do and nobody i'm Dallas can
confirm the opinions of all 1t is
regarded, though, as extremely
probable that the Rock Island
will eventually do all the building
that was contemplated at first and
that Dallas is to be gamer thereby.

eARLAHDED WITH FLOWERS


Yesterday was 9 hallowed day
Throughout the entire Southland
It was Confederate Memorial day
day set apart by the people OF tn Z
South to publicly and appropriately
honor the memory of the dead he
roes who wore the gray. This beau
tifnl custom had it's origin thirty
seven years ago when q little band
of patriotic women met in Columbus 5,
Ca, and selected April Is, the an
niversary of the surrender of Gen.
Joseph 4. Johnson, as an appro-
pirate day for decorating the graves
of all Confederate dead.
In keeping with this custom a
, large concourse of people assembled
in the cemetery park yesterday af-
/ lternoon to pay tribute of respect
to the memory of Veterans who
fought so nobly for a cause they be
lieved to be right.
The Sims-W atson Chapter Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy, had charge
| Of the exercises, which begun
| promptly at four O'Clock.
| A row OF seats In front OF the
stand bad been especially reserved
for the members OF Camp Winnie
Davis who had been invited to take
| part In the services.
| Mr.. Chalmers Mcpherson offered
most earnest invocation, which
was followed by the audience sing
ing Sweet Bye and Bye "
Rev. J. G. Smith then offered a
/ fervent prayer.
| A quarte.te Of male voice. rem
dered very pretty song.
The address wasdeIivered by Rev.
j. \. Ivy. The speaker used as his
] subject THE Man in Gray" and in
his remarks he paid a high tribute
/ 10 the Southern Veteran az "A man
as q soldier and as citizen. His
talk was full of vim and intensely
! patriotic.
There was a profusion Of flowers,
I the choicest blossoms having been
collected from the many beautiful
gardens ofthe city and formed into
boquets and garlands. At the con-
| clusion of the exercises ia the grove
procession was formed 10 march to
the cemetery. The procession was
led by the Dunlap Rifles, followed
( by Camp Winnie Davis, Daughters
of the Confederacy and citizens.
As they passed the great heap of
flowers each one took an srmful of
the floral offerings and bore them to
the graves of the dead heroes. The
graves were marked with small
flags and about one hundred and
ten were decorated with flowers
the offerings of grateful hearts and
loving hands.
In the distribution of flowers the
Federal dead were not forgotten
Some half "a dozen graves ia which
sleep veterans Of the North were
pointed out 10 the ladies who cover
ed them with wreaths 9f flowers.
The members OF the Sims Watson
Chapter desires to express their
heartfelt thanks TO Mr.. A. Gard
ner, the cemetery sexton, for his
uutiring efforts and valuable assis-
tsnee in locating many of the graves
of the old soldiers. He spent sew
eral days in this work and after the
graves had been tagged MIR. Gard
ner cut the grass and weeds from
around great many OF them. He
has bad charge OF the cemetery sew
eral years and more obliging or
capable man could not be found to
care for the city of the dead.

NOT so SURE OF
 THE IRISH BILL
IN THE LoBBlEs OF PARLIAMENT ENTHUSIASM OVER THE MEAS URE SEEMS TO HAVE DWINDLED AND PASSAGE IS UNCERTAIN.

London, March 27.-In the Hobbies of parliament tonight the opinion regarding the Irish land bill was rather less en- thusiastic. It was recognized to be a measure of such complexity that it's only chance of existence lies in the rather doubtful possibility of all parties con- senting to accept 1t in a generous spirit and that an active opposition from any quarter must inevitably wreck 1t.
 The nationalists already are displaying restiveness. Latterly they have rather consistently supported the government in the division lobbies, but tonight on a pri- vate members bill of little consequence they voted against the government, with the result that the ministers only es- capped defeat by the merest and narrow present In their full strength, instead of being present to the number of only 55, the government would have been de- feated
 This uncertain attitude of John Red- mond's supporters is giving the govern ment great anxiety and it is believed that if the Irishmen show a carping spirit towards the land bill many unionist sup porters of the government will counsel its withdrawal on the ground of it's un- popularity among the British electors who are already smarting under the bur dens of a heavy war taxation.

GER RMAN EMPRESS
 FALLS FROM HORSE
HER ARM IS BROKEN ABOVE THE WRIST AND CAUSES HER MUCH PAIN-EMPERoR FIRST TO HER SIDE.

Berlin, March 27.-While the German empress was galloping through the Grune- wald, forest near Charlottenburg, this afternoon, her horse. startled by doe that ran across the path, shied and threw her off. The empress broke the fall with her left arm and one of the bones snapped just above the wrist. The emperor, Prince Adelbert, General von Loewenfeld, Gen. eral von Wedel and the numerous follow ing of adjutants and aides de camp. quickly gathered around her. The em- peror was the first to lift her up from the ground. She screamed with pain at the first shock, but after that showed much fortitude.
 "Loewenfeld, said the emperor ride to the hunting lodge and telephone for I,euthold" dhe emperor's physician).
 General von Loewenfed left the adju- tants far behind in the dash for the hunting lodge, which was about a mile away. He had some difficulty in locat- ing pr. Leuthold, but presently reached him at the army headquarters Emperor William, in the meantime, had applied first aid to the injured limb and had made a sling out of the empress veil.
 As the party walked towards the lodge A carriage sent by General von Loewen- field met them, but the empress refused 10 take it. Dr. Leuthold in an automobile belonging to a member of the emperor s staff. which was at army headquarters went full speed to Grunewald, arriving an hour and a half after the accident. He was greeted by Major llberg, the em- peror's surgeon and Dr. Zeunker, the spe- cial phvsician of the empress. The fract- ured arm was dressed and bandaged at the hunting lodge and her majesty was then driven in a carriage with her arm in a sling under her jacket, the emperor riding on horse back. His majestys close attendance caused some wonder, as the party passed through the Unter den Lin- den. 1t was an hour later before extra editions explained the reason. No bulletin has been issued by the doctors who af- firm that the injury is case of simple fracture. pr. Zeunker will stay at the palace all night.
 It Is recalled that the empress a few years ago broke a bone in her left foot, by being thrown from her horse at Perehtezgarten
