Rebecca Sparks Deaconess home
awaits the coming of a deaconess.
Waco has the distinction of having fur
nished the first deaconess home in the
Southern Methodist church. Miss Mar
tha Wright was recommended by the
quarterly conference of the First
church at Waco, and by a peculiar co.
incidence was the first candidate pre-.
sented at the service when our first
deaconesses were consecrated last
April. The Methodists of Waco feel
they have given full endorsement. The
home was named for Mrs. Rebecca
Sparks, whose devotion made it possi-
Bile. Years ago her heart was strange
ly warmed, when she thought of the
helpless children, whose mothers were
bread-winners and forced to leave their
homes. Through her efforts, the city
board purchased a place where a day
nursery was conducted. This smaller
property has become the nucleus from
which has grown this larger plant. She
let God use her.

RACERS WILL De MISS BLACK
AND ARoNoTE.

The running races at the fair grounds
tonight will consist of five events with
five horses in each of them.
A dozen new horses which have never
started here before will face Starter Phil
lips tonight. and they should make the
races a little faster and more interesting.
All the races will be four and half fur
longs except the match race between
Miss Black and Aronote. a new horse
which the wise ones think has a good
chance to defeat Miss Black. This little
black mare has won both of the match
races in which she started and promises
to be a winner In as many races as any
other horse at the track.
A car load of horses arrived yesterday,
and several of these will be entered In
the races tonight. Others will be run dur
ing the week to swell the number Of
horses In each of the races.
In the first race tonight are Skinner d,
Higher, Tropic, Fly Book and Ezel, and
all five of these horses are thought to
be about evenly matched for four and a
half furlongs. In the second race all the
HorSSs are Hp"g iohS " eAiNHA ""~'ANs 80
before at the track. They are Sockman,
Mary ], Tripton, High Ball and Lomax.
What these horses can do is still matter
of doubt, but Starter Phillips says they
can run In bunch side by side with the
best on the track.
If Anzizier Is In condition tonight she
will give Wilton a hot race, while JOY
Bell, Rocosos and Polka Dot are unknown
quantities and may lead the two known
horses under the wire.
The last race will have Morning Glory,

the races they should be an Improvement

CHIEF WEIR RECEIVES
A MYSTERIOUS NOTE
Writer Claims That the Bullet Which
Killed Unknown Negro Was
Intended for Him.

Chief of Police Wier received peculiar
note yesterday from a negro man who
claims that the bullet which killed an I'M
known negro near Thirteenth avenue and
Twenty-sixth street several nights ago,
was intended for him.
To the note is attached q clipping from
one of the newspapers saying that the
dead negro was still unidentified. The
last sentence Of the note reads: The
murder is still a mystery" The writer
of the letter to Chief Wier has scratched
out the words "a mystery" and after
them comes the following, which is pencil
printed in tolerably clear hand:
"All men have accidents. But this poor
man has gotten what was intended for
me. II the negro that fired this shot had
waited till 11:45 and not 1920 he would
have given up his self, but now he did
not get me. He will not. AS he has
murdered the wrong mani was put next
on Sunday to meyer walk home and have
cut it out-see.'
From this note 1t would seem that there
was a plot to kill the writer, but he was
informed In time to prevent his walking
into the trap. 1t seems tnat the wrong
negro was killed. Coroner Paris post
'mortem disclosed the fact that the bull
let used was a 3S calibre, and this ends
the theory that the negro was killed by
bullet from Ed Patum's pistol, as that
was "a calibre.

which God makes, and the one which

and a successful transaction of the deal
will prove a strong point for the Jelks
administration. Governor Jelks was in
strumental in originating the plan, and
will be entitled to the credit.
only one proposition has been made
for refunding, and that offer was made
some time ago. 1t was not satisfactory
and was rejected There is no particular
hurry about the matter. While the law
makes it obligatory upon the governor
to refund the debt at a lower rate of
interest, you will remember that none
of the bonds have yet matured and there
Is no way to force the holders to give
them up until the date of maturity.
