great shock to his family and
friends. A wife and nine children
are left to mourn the loss of a low
ing husband and a kind father.
Mr.. Billingsley was a model of
purity to his family and the world,
and his presence will he missed
both around the family 6reside
and in his community, where he
was honored and respected by all.
HIS children are: john >. Billings
ley, Sabinal; Walter Billingsley,
Brownsville; Mrs. H. NJ. Eads,
Beeville; Mrs. Nellie Greiner, FL
Paso; Mrs. G. c. Rattison, Sabine
Pass; Jesse, Willie, Roy and

capacity of sheriff.
To the bereaved family, relatives
and friends, THE HERALD offers
sincere sympathy in their affection.

who says:
II have been married five years and
always had good health until the
spring after my second child was born
in 1901, my health began giving away.
I was a coffee drinker and commenced
having many pains about my heart af-

getting worse until June.
envy physician could not help me
and 1 took everything 1 could think
of but kept getting worse; so in Au-
gust 1 saw another doctor, who said 1
had nervous dyspepsia, but who did
not help me any, and by that time l
was so nervous it seemed l would go
crazy. I did not have energy for any
thing and could hardly eat anything
and became so weak l could hardly
walk, and had to stop nursing my
baby and in September l changed my
physician again. The next one said
had female trouble, that would have
to be operated on but would not have
that so I kept changing my physicians
and some would say one thing and
some another and still I got worse

was every bit as pathetic, while the
nasal twang of the strains of My Old

scene. The tender hearted in the aud
fence snuffled and shed tears. The
hand of swain crept to that OF
sweetheart, while she snuggled closer
to him. Altogether the going out OF

"GussIE" MAKES A HIT.
Former MarshaIltown Girl Scores Sue

Former MarshaIltown Girl Scores Sue
cess on New York Stage.
The New York World announces
that Augusta Gardner, known in Mar
shalltown as Mrs Louis Eagan, and
formerly as Gussie Baumgartner, a
former resident of this city, has scored
a success in her initial appearance in
Jacks Little Surprise" at the Prin-
cess theater. Mr.. Eagan, Miss Baum
gartner's husband, is the author of the
piece. The World says:
"a little maid in a little part made
a decided hit the opening night of
Jacks Little Surprise at the Prill-
cess theater.
.She hasn't a great deal to do, this
little maid, but what she does is done
cleverly.
"Miss Augusta Gardner takes the
part of the little maid, Irene, and it
now appears that Miss Garner in pri-
vate life is Mrs. Louis Eagan, wife of
the author of the play.
"The very flirt of Irene's trim black
skirts breathes impertinence and saucs,
defiance as she discovers Jack-Arthur
Byron-apparently making love to the
ESYpLldIl 81 PlelyCo NY MISS hdlu-
crime Keyes-and faunts his supposed
misdeeds in his face.
t.Poor Jack is covered with unde-
served confusion, and the merry maid
insolently saunters out, singing aggra-
yatingly, over her shoulder the song,
She Never Saw the Streets of Cairo
"Quite unexpectedly, Miss Gardner
made a decided hit the opening night
".I've been on the stage for a num-
her of years. she said to an Evening
World reporter in her dressing room,
at the Princess. I've always played
soubrettes and am quite content to
nlav one even in my own husbands
play. I was soubrette in Charles
Hoyt's "a Day and a Night" company,
Won know, and seem destined to BRAN
dish a feather buster on the stage fos
the rest of my natural life
"Mrs. Eagan is petite, fair haired and
pretty, eminently suited for the part
she fills SO satisfactorily. She is des-
nerately in earnest and seems to pos
sess the true condolences power not
only Of approaching the humor of her
lines herself, but in making her audi
ence do so as we'll.
eft is not unusual for an author OF a
NAV ia star his wife in his own pro-
duction. but when the wife of a sue
cessful playwright consents TO play the
smallestjbit in the piece and yet makes
good in it, then it is time to take no.
tice."
