The Allegations.

Wharton, Texas, December 10.
The substance of the petition
filed in the c. F. Dodge case be-
fore the district court of Wharton
county is as follows: That M. w.
Hanson, marshal for the Southern
district of Texas, and J. w. Vann,
deputy marshal, George Ellis, chief
of police for the city of Houston,
and John I. Herlihy and others
acting with them, whose names
are unknown, are illegally restrain,
ing him of his liberty.
The said Ellis and Herlihy are
pretending to act under a warrant
of extradition issued by the gov
ernor of Texas, setting out such
writ in full.
That said warran! is illegal and
not justified in that said Dodge is
not a fugitive from justice from the
State of New York, and said
Dodge denies that he committed
the allegek offense wirhin the limits
of the State of New York or within
the Jurisdiction of said State. That
said Dodge is a citizen of the State
of Georgia, but was arrested in
Harris county by George Ellis and
by others unknown to him, and
has ever since been restrained of
his liberty.
That said Dodge ought not to be
permitted to be taken to New York
under said writ by the parties nam
ed or by any other person, because
he is not fugitive from the state
of New York and not, therefore,
subject to extradition.
That the parties named and 9TH
ers whose names are unknown are
seeking to forcibly take said Dodge
to the state of New York and be-
yond the jurisdiction of the courts
of Texas, and that they viii do SO
unless restrained from doing so.
He further alleges that he IS in
bad health and that TO permit such
removal viii seriously endauger
the health and life Of Dodge.

per was appointed to labor among
the Mexicans in the same field.
They remained until war measures
broke tip most of our frontier work.
Bro. Mills may find a trace OF
Methodist yet lingering. The peo-
pie there have waited forty-fiye
years for a railroad. Near this old
town the United States troops I'M
der General Taylor first encounter
ed the Mexicans in the war of 1916,
and the defeat the Mexicans sus-
tanned was reported in every battle
fought till the capture of the cap
ital by General Scott. Just before
this old town the last gun of the
COnfederacy was fired. A band of
Texas Rangers, under Col. John
S. Ford, fired on some Federal sol
diers, who had landed to convey to
the people the news that Lee had
surrendered, and war was over.
Not aware of their mission, the
Rangers attacked them. After the
news had been conveyed to Col.
Ford, one soldier, not believing it,
raised his long range rife and took
the last shot of the Confederate
war at the Federals. Mills will at
tack sin and the devil at short
range Amen.

BROWNSVILLE HISTORY.
III. G. H." in Texas Christian Advocate,
Talks Interestingly Early Efforts
Here.

At last session of West Texas
Conference c. S. Mills was APP
pointed to Brownsville. For nearly
IS years that field has been unoc-
cupied by Our church. It's distance,
want of railroad facilities, and men
and money, have been the cause.
Now the great waste between the
Nueces and that Government post
has been traversed by a railroad.
| There was once a Brownsville Dis
trict and the old Texas Conference
and David W. Fly was the presid-
ing elder. Prior to this Mordecai
Yell was on the Springfield Dis
trict, which included Brownsville
and everything west of the Color
ado. In 1849, from the Seguin ses-
sion of the Texas Conference, n.
A. Cravens was sent to Browns
vile. A chufch was built and
few members reported. Anoted old
Bro. Dye was among these mem
bers who stoutly contended that a
Methodist preacher and God were
always in the majority Afterwards,
Oscar NJ. Addison was stationed
there, then D. w. Fly, and in 1889,
from the Goliad Conference, Robert
Paine Thompson was appointed
missionary to the Mexicans in and
about Brownsville. He and his wife
went into the work and remained
a year. In 1860, from the San An
tonic Conference, Jasper K. Har-

To The Bright Girls
of the Country.

The expenses for one year at {
leading Southern college will be
paid for a bright, worthy girl Of
Cameron county, Texas, who will
secure for me one hundred and ff-
teen subscribers to my book, LEE
AND LONGsTREET AT HIGH TIDE. y
The college expenses include board,
books, tuition, laundry and inciden-
tails.
For the double purpose of giving
the people the truth of our civil
war history, and of extending a
helping hand to the struggling am
bilious girls of the country, I am
pleased to place a year at college
within reach of a girl of this Coun-
ty who desires an education earn
estly enough to exert herself a lit
tie Should the girl availing herself
of this opportunity prove partic-
ularly deserving, l pledge myself
to the endeavor to open the way
for her to complete the college
course.
The girl who is interested in this
offer should communicate with me
at once, and her communication
should be accompanied by the en-
dorsement of her county School
Commissioner, the editor of THE
HERALD and the teacher of the
last school she attended.
l would be glad to communicate
with every ambitious girl in this
county who is struggling to educate
herself.

WHEN you started out to build
a church, raise funds for the poor
or other charities, how much did
the foreign merchant contribute?
When you have figured this out,
then see how many times you have
had help from the home man. Take
the result obtained from these fig
ures and then say who is entitled
to your support. Aside from this
the local merchants help TO support
you schools and all other institu-
tons, contribute of their means for
the exploitation of new enterprises,
and their money and moral infience
are always given TO the upbuilding
of your town. The foreign mer-
chant does none of these and the
money sent away for articles which
can be bought cheaper at home,
never finds its way back to your
pocket, or to the town. Patronize
home institutions and keep your
money at home.

IT is quite possible that Texas
granite may be used in the con-
struction of the new municipal
building to be erected at Washing
ton. In case the Texas article is
selected it will mean the expen-
diture of a half million or more
dollars in this state. Texas has
the best of everything and the
selection of her granite would be d
wise choice.

God never made his work for

And virtue, though i'll rags, will

Errors, like straws, upon the sur

Illhabits gather by unseen degrees
As brook make rivers, rivers run to

Know their own good, or, knowing
it, pursue.

dated the 9th. says, that there may
be changes in the diplomatic ser

by high official of the state de-

the President expects all his Cab

STILL another chapter has been
added in the famous Dodge case.
Judge Wells Thompson has issued
a writ ordering Dodge to be pro-
duced in his court at Wharton on
December p, and ordering all
officers concerned III his arrest and
detention to show cause why
Dodge is being illegally restrained
of his liberty. This latest move is
expected to complicate matters,

considerable interest all over the

PUBLIC PARK SHOULD
BE SECURED

The question of securing land for
mauy times in our city. A few years
ago sufficient land for all park
purposes for city of 100000 could
have been secured for small nominal
figure. Today land enough for
small park system for good sized
city would cost considerable money.
Next year it will cost more. Fifty
years hence its purchase may be
practically an impoSSibility. The

of duty feArlessy passed. the bounds

fifty or seventy five years will be even
more marked than those which have
just passed? If the future was any

GRAND RAPIDS BUSINESS
COLLEGE TO OPEN JAN. 3, 'O5

A number of students have made
arrangements to enter the Grand Rap
ids Business College in both the day
and evening sessions. 1t now appears
that this new college will be well
patronized and will have a successful
career from the first.
The students who enter this college
will be especially fortunate in having
teacher like Mr.. Hayward ats the
head of the school as he has had val
liable experience both as teacher and
office man and can thus not only give
the theory but the actual practice of
office work
Prof. W. ". Williams who is direc-
tor of the new college will give much
of his time to securing positions and
the business side of the new college.
This brings to the Grand Rapids col
lege an opportunity which other
schools do not have. Prof. Williams
has schools at Amigo and Appleton
and his students have the advantage
Of this larger acquaintance among
business men to secure positions.
Many of his students are now holding
the best positions in the largest cities
of the Z. S. including New York,
Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis.
st. Paul, etc. The course Of study
in this new college is more modern
than is usually found in Business
Colleges and is the same course as is
found in the School of Commerce of
Lawrence University. This course
was prepared for a Chicago Business
College by Prof. Williams and his
brother and is now published by Prof.
Williams.
The rates of tuition are % to 30
per. cent cheaper than is usaully
charged in Business Colleges. These
cheaper rates are possible on account
of the aid of the City Council and the
Business Mems Association of Grand
Rapids.
New furniture and typewriters will
arrive the coming week and the rooms
in the Library Building Will be placed
ir attractive condition for college
work
Many young people near Grand
Rapids can take the trains in and out
each day and attend this new college.
With the excellent r. r. facilities of
Grand Rapids this is possible and
practical Young people who have
completed the public schools through
out the county should plan to enter
this school. Many can. stay with rela-
tives or secure work to pay for board
and room. Let the people Of Grand
Rapids write TO young people through
out the county and urge upon them
the value of this course Of study which
can be had SO near at home.
