TEXAS WILL RAISE FUND
To Pay for State Exhibit al the
Worlds Fair.

Dallas, Texas, April Col. /.
J. Polk, vice president of the Gulf,
Colorado d Santa Fe Railway, came
to Dallas this morning from Fort
Worth. where he attended yester-
days meeting of the State Railroad
Commission. Colonel Polk was ac-
companied by Louis J. Workman,
general manager of the Texas
Worlds Fair Commission, of which
body Colonel Polk is an active and
enthusiastic member, The Worlds
Fair Commission will meet in Dali
las on April 10 to determine what
course shall be followed.
Colonel Polk is not at all dis
mayed by the failure of the Legis-
lature to make an appropriation
for State exhibit and SAYS the
people of Texas if called upon will
show more patriotic pride than the
officials at Austin have shown.
Colonel Polk said:
at was clearly the duty of the
Legislature to make provision for
q Texas exhibit at the louisiana
Purchase Exposition. Eminent
lawyers agreed that an appropria-
ton for this purpose would not be
unconstitutional. The Legislature
did not view the question that way,
however, and there is no use in
talking about the Constitution now.
"For one, | shall favor at the
coming meeting a vigorous cam
paign for the raising of the neces-
sary funds. In my judgment we
can appeal to patriotic Texans with
much more success than at Austin.
The question of State pride alone
should cause us to make an exhibit
at st. Louis that will stand for Tex
as-big, matchless Texas-and
think Texans will come generously
and periodically to our help. We
can raise this fund if we try. We
should show the world that Texas
is no laggard in the procession and
We should reveal to the officials at
the State Capital the fact that they
did not represent the wishes of their
constituents when they failed to
make the appropriation asked for. y
1t Is confidently expected that
the other commissioners will agree
with Colonel Folks idea.

ALARM CLOCK THAT TALKS
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
"Ring-a-ding-a-din Get up,
you lazy loafer. It's Z o'clock!''
Those strenuous words, preceded by
the tinkle of brisk little bell,
caused a visitor in West Phila-
delphia house to hop out of bed
the other morning with immense
suddenness.
The words were so authoritative
that he had the same feeling of
submission he had when a
schoolboy and his father called
him. So he jumped up now without
question.
What had awakened him was 4
photographic clock, an ingenious
arrangement divised by his host.
which was so set that the same
spring which started the alarm
started, moment later, phono-
graphic attachment. The maker of
the photographic clock said he
thought of patenting it.
"You see," he said, "the phono-
graph speaking to;you after the
alarm wakes you. can be made to
say different things-can be made.
for instance, if you have an
important engagement, to tell YOU
of it-can be made to state
emphatically to you, don't YOU
know, the reason why you should
arise. Usually my photograph saws
to me: Get up, it's Z O'Clock. Get
up, or the boss will dock you for
being late"

City Building and Gives Himself Up.

Benwood. w. Va, Oct. 27.-0ne of
the most deliberate and celd-blooded
murders ever recorded in the criminal
history of Marshall county was COM
mitted in the saloon of Seabright y
Lubic. in this city.
William T. Seabright, partner in
the saloon and hotel, entered the bar
room and with the words, Here You
are, john fired at John Lubic at
short range. Lubic threw his hands
to his face and uttered low moan.
Seabright again drew his pistol AMI
fired at his victims breast, the bullet
entering just below the heart.
The wounded man threw up his
hands and with gasp fell to the floor
dead. After firing the fatal shot thu
murderer turned and went to the city
building. He stated that he had COM
mitted the deed and would make no
effort to prove his innocence.
A crowd rapidly gathered about the
scene of the murder and at the city
building number of men were clam
oring for the life of the man. The
entire police force were soon on the
ground and for time it seemed that
the desire for revenge would gain the
upper hand and that speedy justice
would be melted out to the murderer.
The police, however, kept the enraged
men in check with difficulty.
The cause of the crime was an Ill
feeling that existed between the part
ners over matters of business. For
some time they have been on the
verge of dissolving partnership and it
is known that they quarreled on the
day preceding the murder. 1t seemed
that each was anxious to get the other
out of business.
The dead man is the oldest son OF
John Lubic, one OF the most promi-
nent Croatians in this section. He
was member of grand council of the
national Croatian lodge.
