She Is Accused of Obtaining Millions
of Dollars by Fraud.


Berlin, Feb. 1.-The trial of Prin-
cess Alexandria of Isenburg, who has
recently been living at Stuttgart in
poverty, and is accused of grave finan-
cial frauds, begun today. The trial
gives promise of eclipsing in interest
even the Whitaker Wright trial in
London, and the amount of money in
volved reaches into the millions. In
fact when the princess went into bank
ruptcy last September she estimated
her debts at not less than $15, 200, 900,
and her creditors openly charged that
more than half of this sum was obtain
ed by fraud.
The princess has had a remarkable
career. She was first married to her
cousin and upon his death she espoused
a plebeian named Pagendard. By the
use of her influence, and it was rumor-
ed, portion Of her vast wealth, the
princess succeeded in securing for him
the title of baron.
This marriage marked the turning
point in her career. She had an i'm
mense fortune, but both She and her
newly made baron were of an extrava-
CANT disposition, and they made the
money fly. Their reckless, spendthrift
habits led them to squander all of
their cash in a space of seven years
and, when the money was gone, she
and her husband began to quarrel Bit
terly, and, despite the fact that they
had seven children, he promptly de.
serted her, and they have secured a di-
vorce by mutual agreement. The prin.
cess then endeavored to retrieve her
fortune by extensive speculation, but
these all ended unsuccessfully.
Subsequently, she fell into the hands
of merciless usurers, who feeced her
of the remnants of her possessions.
She then borrowed extensively, and, it
is alleged, foated large quantity of
fraudulent paper. The result is the
predicament she finds herself in today.

different amounts to kafir corn,

prettiest expanse of feed stuff
we have ever seen. To those
who are acquainted with this

hardly worth while to dwell on

bic than otherwise when we
consider the vast increase In
population that is taking place
in this country. To guard
against this impending calamity
therefore would it not be we'll
the part of wisdom-to adopt
such remedies as the present
offers?
One remedy proposed is the
adoption of the constitutional
amendment authorizing State
Banks. This, is perhaps, the
only opportunity which the peo-
pie of Texas will have on the
money question for years to
come, and if they look to their
own interests and to- the welfare
of their posterity they will
above all things vote at the
coming election, "For the
amendment to section 16, artl-
Gle, OF the constitution, permit
ting the incorporation OF
State Banks"
On the proposition to increase
the present pitiful allowance,
called a pension, to the Texas
cold Conted," if in destitute
circumstances, to an amount not
exceeding eight dollars per
month, much could be said.
Surely they are entitled to this
small consideration at the hands
of the citizens of this great
State, for only a little while and
they will have left Useless than
a generation hence the tax will
cease for the debt provided for
by this proposed amendment
will have been paid.
The Internal Improvement
amendment is a Thoroughly Dem
o%cratic proposition and should
like all the other proposed
amendments to State ConStitu-
ton receive the careful and con-
siderate attention OF every vo-
ter. 1t speaks for itself. Read
it in this paper and not only it
but read all the others and be
prepared to act for the best in

waited and free of weeds and
grass. And here is the keynote
to the ultimate success Of the
Plains as a farming country.
To thoroughly convince our own
mind of this opinion, we were
driven to a nearby farm that
had evidently been tended in a
hap.hazard, listless manner.
Here was to be found crops, tits
true, but it was a race of nip
and tuck between the crop OF
weeds and grass and the field
crops to gain supremacy and &C
quire possession, with the weeds
and grass head and shoulders
the t~allest. Many of US no
doubt would make just such
farmers as the latter used for
illustration, but never one who
would succeed in his avocation
in the highest sense Of the term.
We are indeed happy to say
that the farmer used for the sub
iect of this article does not be
long in this class of half heart
ed experimenters, but does
things and does it NOW. 1t
would be a wise policy for some
of the "croakers'' and ''knock-
ers" who unfortunately inhabit
some of the towns in this unde-
veloped, virgin soil to make a
visit one of these cool days to a
farm that has been cultivated
by a good farmer and either
quit "croaking" or leave the
country, or, better still, go to
blowing.
AS mentioned in the begin
ming, there are many just such
crops to be found in the county
as that of Mr. Taylor's and
many farmers just as progress
sive, and the News would gladly
take each and every one of
them by the hand and add words
of encouragement to their future
success in all they undertake,

horny.handed sons of toll rests

barbarism and this action is
meeting with the hearty indorse.
ment OF the stockmen of that
section. The entire range coun-
try can well afford to follow this
good and humane example.
Of the three proposed amend
ments to the State constitution,
published in this paper, perhaps
the one which is the least under
stood among the voting masses
is that pertaining tc State
Banks. Many Of our sister
states have provisions in their
constitutions permitting these
institutions and the purpose Of
this proposed amendment is to
place Texas on the same plane.
Why not do this?
Ever since money came into
being it has, sad to say, been
the controlling force among the
nations of the earth. When this
thing called money has been
! plentiful times have been good,
but when the reverse has been
true opposite conditions have
always resulted. 1t has been
well said that high priced mon
ey means a cheap man and mon
ey is always high priced when
the interest it commands eX-
ceeds the income from other
legitimate lines of business.
There is always something radi-
cally wrong with money condi-
tions when other forms of prop
erty wont with judicious man
agement yield equal revenues
with money "out at interest. '
You may safely put it down that
the law of supply and demand
rule here as where; that
high interest nearly, if not al
ways, means scarce money. The
great body of the people are al,
ways benefited when money is
plentiful. Of course, good
money is meant, and any plan
that will increase this volume
of good money should receive
the Endorsement of the voters,
The chances are that under the
prevailing gold standard
coupled with a likelihood of the
retirement of our good old green
back currency and the stopagt
of further coinage of silver dol
lars, that our money supply viii.
rather decrease than increase.

try that has ever been bequeath-
ed to man as an heritage. Abide
with it increasingly, cultivate it
and nourish it and the fertility
of her bosom will amply repay
you for your endeavors.
Partly in search of something
to match the Taylor crop, on
Tuesday a News reporter went
South. Getting out about six
miles in this direction the coun-
try looks dry and continues that
way as tar as our reporter went,
almost to Happy. The grass
is turning yellow and the crops
are firing in places. From six
miles south Of here on to the
county line a good rain was
needed Tuesday and is yet un-
less it has fallen there since.
1t rained in that course Tuesday
night and maybe it fell there.

COTTON NEXT DOOR.

George. w. Curtis, special
agent of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, spent
Monday and Tuesday of this
week IN the vicinity of Hereford,
gathering statistics and infor-
nation relative to the present
cotton crop. 1t will be remem-
bered that Prof. Curtis was
here during the two-days Farm
ers' Institute held at the college
building last winter and deliv-
cred an address on the praCti-
cability of raising cotton in the
Panhandle of Texas. At that
time many of our farmers agreed
to plant a specified number of
acres and cultivate same under
his directions; so the object of
this last visit was TO ascertain
with what success they had
met.
Instead of taking someone
else's word, MI. Curtis went out
into a number of the fields where
cotton is growing and made a
careful and accurate investiga-
ton. Among those whose places
we're visited is g. S. Cardwell
south OF town. After returning
to town, Mr. Curtis informed a
Brand representative that, with
conditions as favorable as they
have been thus far this season.,
Mr.. Cardwell will make all the
way from one-third to one.half
bale per acre. Other crops
visited were just as good. 1t is
said the stalk is generally we'll
formed and is putting on fruit
at a very rapid rate.
When asked by a Brand
representative if he had made
sufficient investigation to enable
him to pass upon the probability
of this becoming one of the lead
ing cotton producing sections,
Mr.. Curtis unhesitatingly ex-
pressed in emphatic terms his
earnest belief that the Panhan-
die is already beyond the exper-
mental stage in the production
of this crop and that under the
proper cultural methods, cotton
is the surest crop tc be planted
here. since it will grow and ma
ture with less rain than almost
any other crop--Brand.
