THE CAPACITY TAXED
Rush Of cotton to harkei Has C0ngeS-
ted Traffic on the Railroads.

Conditions which have not pre-
vailed in several years are at pres
ent obtaining in Ellis county, and in
all probability in other sections Of
Texas where cotton is extensively
cultivated. The opening of the sta-
pie all at one time and the great
amount of picking which has been
going on released a tremendous
mass of cotton for the railroads,
creating jam and rush at the gins
aud at the congresses. The capac-
ity of the railroads has not only
been taxed In hauling the staple, but
they have experienced considerable
trouble in getting sufficient help to
unload and load the staple at com
presses. This failure to procure
hands has resulted In the compress
in this city getting away behind
with orders. The platform is now
crowded with cotton aud large
ed At one time this week both the
Central and Katy had as many as
one hundred cars Of cotton waiting
to be compressed. Shipments have
been slow from this point on account
of the compress being unable to han
die the cotton rapidly.
In spite Of the fact that the price
has gone down several points the
farmers continue To bring the staple
20 market al pretty lively rate.
As the second distribution Of cash
premiums takes place tomorrow il is
expected that there will be q big
rush of cotton to this market.

The state constitutions Of Wy

Women are citizens and vote on
equal terms with men. All other
state constitutions make iuvidious
distinctions. The majority classify
women, idiots, criminals and un-
taxed Indians, ia the category OF
the disfranchised. This official
brand OF inferiority reflects on the
moral tone OF the nation. Politics
the religion OF our national life
is synonym for corruption and
vice. The morality and purity
which women could infuse into
public affairs is denied on the most
illogical of pretexts, while the

A HAPPY OCCASION

Effect Permanent Organization.

The rare day in June that the
poets rave about no longer holds
first honors. In the minds OF those
who attended the basket picnic at

On that day twenty-four students
Of old Marvin College met at the
park in response to Invitations from
Mesdames Moore and McCaul and
in honor of Mrs Woodlief who, it is
regretted is soon to leave us.
The hostesses in a spirit of jollity
and merriment which was contagious
soon persuaded all that those were
only dream years that bad passed
over our heads and emphasized
anew the sacred bond which school
life draws around its friendships.
Roll call was happily chosen as
the first event OF the day and re-
vealed the following present; Min

Today and yesterday it is estimated
that 1000 cases of eggs will change

to the grocer and from the grocer to

dozen to a case. Two thousand cases
of eggs is about five cars, 60, 900 dozens
of eggs or dozen to every man, wo-
man and child in the city. This is
100000 eggs which at an average val
ue of Is cents dozen means that
Easter will make business better to
the extent of $4,000 in eggs alone. If
all these eggs were Matched and grown
to full sized chickens worth a dollar
and quarter each, a million dol
lars would be added to the nations s
wealth.
If these cases of eggs were put end
to END they would reach distance of
mile and quarter. If the eggs were
taken out of The cases and placed end
to end they would stretch over a dis
tance of 26 miles or could be laid all
the way from here to Anaconda. If
the eggs were all broken the fluid
would fill vat with a capacity of
S, 900 gallons and the shells that re-
mained would equip sure thing gam

empty cocoon, the broken skin, and
the beautiful moth. They recalled the
story of the caterpillar that had made
the silken nest. They admired the
wonder and beauty of it and allowed
it to fly through the open window. OF
the many little papers written On the
subject, the following is selected as
being one of the best:
THE MOTH
First the moth is caterpillar, and
| he is green with thorns on his body.
Then he goes and spins a cocoon, and
shuts hisself (himself up in his cocoon.
Then when he comes out his wings are
wet, and he holds them on his back.
Then when he wants to fly he tries his
wings just like baby tries to walk
He is very pretty and has a big round
fat body, and his body has stripes or
it and he has two feelers rolled up
This cocoon is made of silk all woven
up and when he comes out he breaks
the end of the cocoon open.
