TEXAS MEAT BID REFUSED.
Swift the Only Packer to Offer Prices
for Supplies.

Dallas. Tex, July State Purchas-
ing Agent Anderson has announced
that "all' bids for packing house sup
plies for state charitable institutions
had been rejected because of "pecu-
liar circumstances.
"A1l' bids meant one bid, as Swift
&, Co. was the only bidder. Armour
and others ignored requests to bid.
The state charitable institutions con-
tain approximately 5000 inmates, and
the contract is a valuable one.
One of the peculiarities Agent An
derson encountered was that a bid for
bacon for an institution having more
than $500 inmates was 1 Il cents per
pound higher than for one with only
$50 inmates.

MORE sIDErRACKs WANTED.
Railroad Commission Asked to Order
Them In Pratt County.

Senator Thad c. Carver and Repre-
sentative J. 8. Barnes have both writ
ten letters to the state board of railroad
commissioners urging that the railroad
companies be required to put in the ele-
vator sidetracks at Iuka, Preston and
Cullison in Pratt county.
It was reported some days ago that
the railroad companies had commenced
work on these sidetraclSs, would comply
with the law. According to Mr.. Carver
and Mr.. Barnes, the work of building
these sidetracks has notyet commenced,
in spite of the assurance given by the
railroad company that things were pro-
crossing as directed by the board. The
board will probably issue a ukAse coz
corning the matter, and try to compel
the railroads to obey the law.

IN cOLONEL's TOWN
Things Happen.

From the home of the famous ''Keyh-
mel Keeyartah of Gainesville, away
down South. comes an enthusiastic 1et-
ter about Postum.
L was in very delicate health. suf-
fering from indigestion and a nervous
trouble so severe that 1 could hardly
sleep. The doctor ordered me to discon-
tinue the use of the old kind of coffee
which was like poison to me- produce
ing such extreme disturbance that I
could not control myself But such was
my love for it that I could not get my
own consent to give it up for some time
and continued to suffer, till my father
one day brought home 81 package of
Postum Food Cofffe.
Il had the new food drink carefully
prepared according to directions, and
gave it a fair trial. 1t proved to have a
rich flavor and made a healthy, whole
some and delightful drink. To my taste
The addition of cream greatly improves
Il.
My health began to improve as soon
as the drug effect of the old coffee was
removed and the Postum Coffee had
time to make its influence felt. nv
and the sleep which the old coffee drove
from my pillow always came to soothe
and strengthen me after I drunk Pos
tunl-in a very short time I began to
sleep better than had for years before.
I have now used Postum Coffee for sew
eral years and like it better and find If
more beneficial than when I first began.

tiers This Week.

who has been loaned to Hanlon by Nc
Graw, is this week leading the National
league hitters, but Hans Wagner of the
Pirates is the real leader, as he has
played in great many more games.
The butcher boy" has an average of
1855. with Cy Seymour of the Reds so
close that he is liable to forge ahead at
any moment. Shannon and Smoot of
the Cardinals have both dropped out of
the 300 class, so that now ST. Louis
hasn't a representative in the select cir
Gle. John Clark has shown a wonderful
improvement in his batting the past
week, and has raised his average from
below the 200 mark to .261. Thomas of
the Phillies has diSpla ced Donlin as the
best run getter, and is now leading.
with so runs scored in 81 games. Billy
Maloney of the Cubs still continues his
magnificent work on the bases, and is
far in the lead in the number of bases
stolen. He has stolen nearly twice as
many bases as any other player in the
league. having pilfered 81 bags in SO
games.
AS a result of his terrific hitting in
the past few weeks, Seymour of the
Reds is now leading the sluggers, with
a total of 70 bases.
New York leads in club batting, with
Philadelphia. SECOND; st. Louis ranks
fifth.
In fielding. Mike. Grady leads the
catchers, McGann of New York the first
basemen and Evers of the Cubs the
second basemen. Arndt is playing a
fine game at second base, and ranks
third among the second SackerS. Lewis,
who recently dumped Brooklyn, is the
leading shortstop, while Bridwell, who is
putting up such fine article of ball
for Cincinnati, heads the third basemen.
Thomas and Mccarthy still have per-
feet records in the ,outfield. All the Car
dinal outfielders rank up we'll in field
ing. Chicago is leading in team fielding.

TUNNEL ENGLISH CHANNEL.
Work Started Twenty Years Ago to Be
Resumed Soon.

Calais. July 3.-Messrs. Sartiaux and
Javary, chief engineers of the Northern
Railway company of France, arrived
here a few days ago and proceeded to
a minute inspection of the machinery
installed more than twenty years ago
for the projected construction of a tun-
mel under the British channel. They
also made an examination of the shafts
already sunk, in the company of M.
Breton, the engineer left in charge of
the work.
The arrival of the engineers here, ia
ken in connection with the recent con-
ference held in Paris by the officials of
the Northern railway of France and

RcvoIutionists Are Busy.
st. Petersburg, July 3.-GeneraI Trep-
offs warning to the newspapers not to
print word about the Black sea fleet
troubles although obeyed in st. Peters,
burg, has aroused insistent demands for
permission to publish the facts while
some of the Moscow papers openly
defied the warning.
Revolutionists are working with fe-
verish activity in spreading the news
broadcast, scattering the pamphlets to
the soldiers and summoning the work
men to strike and join movement fer
emancipation.
The nervousness which pervades all
classes is increasing. The governments
policy in keeping back the facts, bad
as they are, is resulting in people giving
willing ear to all the stories which
are set afioat. Nothing seemingly is too
wild to receive ready credence. Many
are convinced that the country is act
ually in the throeS of a revolution. AL
though the critical character of the sit
uation can hardly be overstated and
while the danger of general upheaval
is undoubtedly real, there has been no
open mutiny of soldiers yet and until
some regiments. following the example
of their comrades of the navy go over
the rising has little chance of success.
At the same time there is enough
deep discomfort among many of the
soldiers to render it doubtful whether
they will stand the test of obeying or
ders to fire on the people in the
streets.
The bourse was almost in a state of
panic today. Industrials fell heavily.

THE Joy OF
BALLOONING
Sanfs-Dumont On WhirIing Through
The Air

If | We're asked what were my very
first sensations of aerial navigation,
would have to confess surprise. to feel
the airShip going straight ahead, writes
oS-Dumont. in the Badminton Mag
AZine. 1t WIS astonishing to feel the
wind i'll my face. AS n spherical bal
looniSt | had always gone in the wind.
becoming part of it and not feeling it.
As my airship rlowcd ahead the wind
tluttercd my coat violently as Oh the deck
of an Atlantic liner, though in all other
respects it j. more like river navigation
with II steamboat. 1t is not at all like
sail navigation. and all talk about tack
ing is meaningless. Imagine the air
current to be river running ten miles
per hour. If YOU go against the current,
making twenty miles per hour. your net
progress will be but ten miles per hour.
If your propeller makes You twenty miles
per hour with the current, your net
speed becomes thirty miles per hour.
Well. it is just 50 in an ailship. In Il
calm it makes its own speed unaffected
by wind current. The navigator of the
air. however. has one great pleasure un-
known, tr the navigator of the river He
cam >c"l; Il, change one air current for
aEothCr. The air il tul of varying cur
rents. Mounting, | have often sought
and found either ii calm or an advan-
tageous breeze. even in IL spherical ball
o.oI and thi>t is one of the evcrclanging
delights of the aerial realm.
In my first ;lirShip the SUSPENSION was
:" long that it Appropriated that of Il
spherical balloon. For this r,rl$on there
was very little pitching; and speaking
generally. since that time, though | have
been told that on this or that trip I
pitched considerably, | have never been
seaSick in the air You see. in the air
ship there is no smell AN is pure and
clean. And the pitching itself lHlrs none
of those shocks and hesitations of the
boat at sea. The movement is suave
and flowing, owing to the immensely les
ser resistance of the air The pitches are
less rapid than at sea: the dip is not
brusquely arrested, so the mind can an
ticipate the curve to its very end and be
prepared. There is no shock to give
