While we know that We are born
to die yet We rarely ever get to the
place In life where We are willing to

In the death of Mr.. ]. T. John

a kind and loving husband, father
and friend who will not soon be for

loss to Ellis county. He had served
commissioners precinct number
three several terms and in the ca
pacity of public servant, as in all
other relations of life, he was true
and faithful to the best interests OF
his fellow citizens.
His health, which had been de-
clining for several years, was con-
siderably improved last summer by
a trip to the mountains of Colorado
While my wife and 1 were sojourn-
ing there last summer we boarded al
the same hotel with him, and there
we were associated intimately with
him for several weeks aud learned
to know and admire his many good
traits of character. Realizing that
he was being greatly benefited by
the change of climate | wrote the
general passenger agent of the Den
yer road and secured an extension
of his ticket and permission to stop
over at Hereford several weeks to
visit his brother, John c. Johnston,
and this he did, returning home IN
October much improved In health,
Shortly after reaching home he be,
gan a rapid decline in health, termi.

quate to bold the great throng of his
friends who gathered to paw this
last tribute otrespect. Rev. J ).
Elliott, pastor of the Baptist church
at Forreston, aud Rev. Claud Smith
pastor of the Forreston circuit, each
paid splendid tributes to his
memory.
Mr.. Johnston was member oi
the Baptist church, with which de-
nomination he united III his Young
manhood, and one OF the preachers
remarked In his sermon that il a
man lived right in this world he
was sure to die right and 90 to a
better land. The preachers both
spoke feelinRly and tenderly of his
kindly, generous disposition toward
his fellowmen aud OF his FIJI hft
stewarihip as a public official Such
a life as was Mr., Johnston's Is an
object lesson to us all, worthy Of EN-.
ulation. May a kind Providence deal
gently with the bereaved widow and
four children, is the sincere wish of
INNOCENCE.

Essential Qualifications 81
State Superintendent.

&&Ms& 9@N~A 43&%hA@& A&Ae
/. He must be Q gentleman hi
every sense OF the word.
2. He should be man OF pro-
found scholarship.
3. He should be o man who has
dealt with the practical rather than
theoretical side of education,
4. He should be man who has
been identified with the public
school system of the state, rather
than q university.
The next question arises where
can be found q man possessing these
qualifications? Let us first exam
ine the record of our present Super
tendent. Reared in the city of Bal
timore. coming to Texas thirteen
years ago, all his work in this
state being done in the capacity of
superintendent of city schools aud
professor in the State University,
can he be expected To possess all
the above named Qualifications?
That he is gentleman and q
scholar, no one will deny, but these
are only the most elementary quail
tications. That he has made an
earnest effort 10 thoroughly under
stand the conditions and needs of
the rural schools OF Texas and that
lie clings to the fond delusion that
he has succeeded here, | do not
question, but all of us do not ad-
init that he has succeeded. We 90
not condemn him for this, for 1t is
impo ssible for man To spend
practically his entire life within the
brick walls OF city and be able to
successfully grapple with the prob
lens Of the rural districts. No man
| can be success as aluniversity pro-
lessor unless he be "a specialist. In
mo ste asses the specialist within avery
few years finds himself out of
| poise. Working under superior
upon whom most of the executive
work falls, the professor soon be-
comes weaker in that particular
than almost any other, while IL a
man with great executive ability is
needed anywhere, IL is certainly at
the head of our schoo! system. /
shall probably notice this phase of
the question again.
Now for the record of Prof. X. II.
Cousi who aspires for the posi-
tion now held by Prof. Lefevere.
Fer nearly thirty years he has la
bored ia the schools of Texas occu.
plying every position from the little
log school house in the backwoods
to a place in the State University.
eventeen years ago he was elected
uperinteudeut of the Mexia
schools, and fifteen times was re-
elected without All opposing vote.
During this time he served on both
state aud county boards OF exami-
ners, was connected with seven
summer uormals, four state schools
Of methods and two summer ses.
sious OF the State University. Re
sides this he has always been on
hand when any one was needed TO
push some educational interest TO
the front. Indeed, DR.. Hornbeak, of
Trinity University, states that in
every fight for local taxation for
school purposes ia his part of the
state, Prof. Cousins was In the
front ranks. To sum IL all up In a
few words he possesses the qualifica- {
lions that State Superintendent
should possess, and since bis oppo-
nent does not, the thing 10 do is TO
elect as our next Superintendent, +
Prof Il. II. Cousins.

Work oil Southern Pacific.

Statistics recently published show
that the land and immigration de-
partment of the Southern Pacific
railroad has sold in twelve months
over million acres of land ia Texas
and Louisiana This does not mean
that the road owned the land but
that the corps Of agents it has es-
tablished has found buyers for that
much land belonging to private par
ties, and the road is entitled there
fore to credit for just that much
country settled up and subj scted to
purposes of agriculture, aud for that
much capital invested in Texas.
BY reason of the execution of the
plan mapped out in the broad and
fertile brain of Colonel :. f. b.
Morse and executed by him and bis
successors in Office millions of dol
lars of capital and many thou sands
of good citizens have been brought
to Texas
That the work was inaugurated
and carved out as cold matter of
business does not detract from it's
value or lesson the credit due the
railroad company. 1t has required
brains, money, executive capacity,
time aud patience to do the work,
and it has been we'll done, and South
Texas and Houston are the largest
thereof. All honor to

Going Out Ct Business.


Having allowed my stock to run
down because of my having sometime
since decided to retire from business,
now find myself out of so many
articles as to make it inexpedient to
serve my regular family trade in a
manner satisfactory, either to my Gus
toners or to myself, it therefore be-
'comes necessary for me to discontinue
soliciting the customary orders from
this date.
All goods remaining on hand will
be disposed of for cash in quantities
to suit in order to close out as quickly
as possibly.
l take this opportunity to express
my heartfelt thanks to all who have
so generously favored me with their
patronage during the years L have
been doing business in Carson City.
Not only do l appreciate the kind
mes, but regret most sincerity the
severance of the pleasant relations
that have always existed between us

DOMESTIC TRAGEDY.

Reno Man Attempts to Kill His Wife.
Jealousy came near causing a MUIR
der on the upper end of Virginia street
and within sight of the University or
Nevada at one O'Clock yesterday after
noon. Poor marksmanship., caused by
nervous hand directed by an ex-
cited mind is all that prevented the
killing of an innocent man. Thus far
no arrests have ben made The woman
in the case is being cared for by
friends, an it is understood that she
will place her case in the hands of q
lawyer this morning and that ma action
for divorce will be filed at once.
The trouble started at a ball game
| and so far as can be learned. q well
behaved lady, attended the game with
her husband While at the grounds q
friend of the wonan's husband got in
to the rig and in a friendly manner
was talking with the woman. This ar
oused the husbands jealousy and since
that time he has been causing her
an untold amount of mental anguish
and fear. 1t eliminated yesterday when
the man started, so it is said, to beat
his wife and tear up her clothes. An
other friend who happened to be in
the apartment house came to her ai1
and at this junctnure the infuriated
husband drew a revolver and fired at
the peacemaker. AS luck would ha> e
it the bullet flew wide of its mark
and. before he could take second
shot the weapon was taken from him
The woman was urged to have her
husband arrested but stated she feared
he would take her life if she did so.
The woman is young and attractive
and those who knew her and her hus
| band state that he has not the leas1
| cause in the world to be jealous o1
her. for at all times she is well be
haved and enjoys the best wishes d
all who know her The troubles of tn,
unhappy couple will probably be aire;
in the courts during the next few
weeks.-Journal

VERMONT ELECTION.
Only About One Fifth of the Town
 Voted in Favor of License.

Montpelier, Vt, March 2--:Late re- turns from the city and town cleo tions indicate that five of the six cit les and less than fifty out of 246 towns in the state voted yesterday in favor Of licensing saloons. Led by the city of Rutland, formerly high license stronghold and home of F. w. Clement, prohibition leader the voters of the state strongly sindicated that they are not as favorable to hig Hcenhse as they were two years ago when the stormiest campaign in fifty years was carried on. Returns from six cities and POO towns re- ceived to-day indicated that the transfer of Woodbury in Washington county. from the no license to the I- cense list was the only one showing gain for that side. while of the ninety two towns voting for license last year only A gave license major fties yesterday. The places not heard from were small and remote hamlets. all of which gave no license maiori- ties last year and which are not counted on by either side to change this year. x
