ALL DANGER NOW
 PASSED IN TEXAS
HEAVY RAINS SWEEP OVER MANY ACRES OF FINE FARMING LANDS AND RAILROADS SUFFER GREAT LOSS.

Dallas. Tex, July 3.-The heaviest rain storm that has visited Trinity and Red river valleys in years prevailed last night and early this morning, sweeping over many acres of fine farming land and flood ing the city of Gainesville. The streets of that city were under from two to four feet of water throughout the early hours of today but the water receded during the afternoon and tonight all danger is past.
 While Gainesville and other towns suf- fered considerable property loss the heaviest burden will fall upon the rail- roads. Many washouts occurred and in a few places the tracks were undermined from the heavy downpour. There was no loss of life from the torrents. north bound Santa Fe passenger train ran Into a washout last night eight miles south of Gainesville and Engineer NJ R. Boyee was killed No one else was injured.
 At midnight last night the situation at Gainesville was considered most alarming. East of the roundhouse in the section known as Gader Flat hundreds of people were in great distress and for a time It looked as if they could not be rescued. All were gotten out in safety, however, and moved to a higher part of town.
 Reports from the southwestern part of the state, where disastrous eloudbursts prevailed yesterday, state that the loss of life will probably reach fifteen All of the victims were Mexicans The waters are reported to be falling and all further danger is oVer

REMEDIES OF THE FATHERS.

1 From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 Now the vacation months have arrived, 1t cannot be urged too frequently that those who intend leaving home and its comforts for a few weeks in the country should adopt every precaution known to science for the preservation. of their health.
 It will be recalled by many readers that in the days of their youth the admonitions of their elders-invariably preceded by that argumentative elincher, They say" ran something like this:
 They say a horse chestnut will keep away rheumatism.
 They say raw potato will do, if there are no horse chestnuts to be had
 They say an onion carried in the vest pocket will prevent fits.
 Aey say piece of camphor gum will keep away smallpox.
 They say a black silk thread worn around the neck will ward off croup
 They say red string about the throat or an eel skin about the wrist will pre- vent rheumatism.
 They say a bag of sulphur, worn as a pendant, will prevent scarlet fever.
 They say a piece of red wooen yarn worn about the throat will prevent the rose bleed.
 True. this is but a partial list of the precautions that can be taken However, as person on vacation is generally averse to carrying more weight than is absolutely necessary, the foregoing can be counted sufficient.
 By way of testimonial 1t may be said that within the knowledge of man no per- sen wearing and carrying these various health charms has ever been known to fall a. victim to all the diseases or disor- ders mentioned-at least, no one has been known to have all of them at the same time.

These crops are fairly good and most of them vii be saved.
 At noon we cross the Red river out of the territory into Texas. Here we find conditions greatly changed for the better since our last trip The wheat crop has nearly all been harvested here in fine condition, and so of the winter oats, and now the spring oats and the hay crop is being harvested. There have been fine showers all over the state which have had a wonderfully beneficial effect on all crops. The wheat crop Is much better than 1t was expected to be some weeks ago.
 Last week there was apprehension that rain might damage the grain in the shock. but now conditions have changed It has cleared up cool and nice and the great wheat crop may yet be saved If Texas can save her wheat and oat crop she will be wonderfully blessed. The corn crop here is now very promising and has had ample rain for the present, and with a few more showers at the right time it will be unusually good Fields of corn in silk were common all along on our trip yesterday. But the cotton is late and small and a poor stand and lots of 1t is not yet worked. though the crop here, as in Alabama. Is not so foul as in other sections. Farmers are yet planting both cotton and corn.

Fort Worth is a fine business point and a great stock mar ket, but cannot take time now to men ton the many things of interest to be seen here.

Vaccination.

The School Commissioners have re-
ceived the following communication from
the State Board of Health:
To the Board Of School Commissioners fo'
Prince Georges County:
GENTLEMEN:-We have addressed a
letter to the School Boards of each coun
ty at the beginning of each of the last
four school years, advising them Of the
prospect of extensive prevalence of small
pox in Maryland. We hoped that the
necessity for such advice would DC much
less this year. On the contrary, the
chances for the spread of smallpox in
Maryland are now greater than ever. The
disease prevails in every state contiguous
to Maryland and in Pennsylvania it has
reached alarming proportions.
The safety of the school going children
is definitely committed to the School
Boards, but the subject of vaccination
was neglected for many years prior to
1899. so that good many young people
are not protected against small pox. 1t
is most essential that all the children of
school going age in the State shall be
protected in the manner directed by law,
not for their own sakes alone, but equal
ly for the welfare of the community.
Please advise US as to the status of
public school vaccination in your county.
Yours very truly,
JOHN s. FULTON,
Secretary.

Letter from Spartanburg, S. c..

Mr.. ED1ToR:-I hope congratulations
offer a most heartfelt greeting upon your
very great political victory in Maryland
and particularly in dear old Prince
Georges county. How it has been
achieved goes without needless comment.
1t has been done, and we hope it is to be
lasting victory. The white people of
Southern Maryland are sufficiently to-
gether to understand how easy it is to
take care of their political and social
environments, to guarantee their future
conditions for all future time.
I had seen the result of the vote IN

Post. THE PRINCE GEoRGE's ENQUIRER

It must have been the same ''cut" which
Mr.. Thomas j. Turner, the first editor,
used in the old days of 1914, when politics
and political parties meant something be-
sides nonsense, expediency and ignorance
in the management of political ethics.
Mr.. Editor, hold on to that "Rooster" and
see that he is made to crow every time
danger threatens.
The great victory in your State puts
your great citizen, A. p. German, at the
head as leader of political thought in
this country. He can, and 1 am sure he
will, bear his honors with more than ordi-
nary honor and intelligence. The South
will surely welcome his leadership. The
East can gracefully accept him. The en-
tire West Except Ohio, where, as Mr..
Hanna says, too much intelligence is mani
fest for the people to do anything but to
''stand pat'D. But enough of this. Spar

CALCULATIONS for your success. Great in
terest has been taken in the result.
We are having cool weather, and the
cotton crop is nearly all gathered, but
good part has not opened and will not
now on account of the earl frosts. The
farmers are busy seeding wheat and are
preparing for large sowing.
Very sincerely,
