Committee.
Saturday night the audience present,
which by the way was not as large as
it should have been, was treated to
two notable addresses. Col. Rixey,
who was formerly labor commissioner
of the state of Missouri, and at present
organizer for the National Good Roads
Association, delivered the first adj
dress, and it was gem of oratory, con-
tanning many valuable suggestions to
people who have not given the subject
of good roads as much thought as they
should. He declared one of the best
arguments for good roads was the
moral phase of the question, and his

Purify the blood and put the system
in order for summer work by using at
this time short course of Prickly Ash
Bitters; it is the greatest blood purifier
on earth.
Palestine daily herald. [volume] (Palestine, Tex.) 1902-1949, 1905-04-24

argument was conclusive on this point
Col. Rixey threw some nice bouquets
at Palestine and Anderson county.
Here is one of them. He said he
thought when he was boy that he
was born in the greatest state in the
union, and it was still good state, and
when he moved to Missouri he
thought he had moved to the best state
in the union, and it was still good
state, but when he came to travel over
Texas, he knew and realized that he
was in the best state in the union.
And he had visited many cities, had
lived in several, but he had thought
that he had rather make his perma-
nent home in San Antonio than in any
city he had ever seen, but when he
came to Palestine, saw it and was
conquered by it, prepossessed by its
beautiful flowers, homes, and charmed
with its people, he said in his heart
if had my choice of a home and could
cast my lot where willed, would
rather live in Palestine than in any
city have ever seen. And he spoke
with seeming sincerity. He said Pal
estine was entertaining citizen who
il was a charm to know, and who he
believed and hoped would be the next
governor of Texas, the Hon. Tom
Campbell.
One of the most pleasant events
connected with the entire proceedings
of the good roads meeting was the
impromptu address of the Hon. j. O..
Black of Washington City, who paid
his respects to the meeting as spec
tator. He was introduced by Hon. T.
I NJ. Campbell, and though taken COM
pletely by surprise, and not having
lkx fervarped that he was to speak,
- Ggered an address tssS 7. I....s
bought, and diction, and manner of
delivery, was almost classic. Gen.
eral Black speaks with measured de-
liberation, and groups his thoughts so
as to produce finished train of reas-
oning, and he went at once to the very
root of the subject, which is not his
specially, and showed a matured
thought that equalled any line of ar
gument offered by the men who have
made the subject of good roads life
study. He said the improved roadway
was the path to civilization, and con-
trssted the path of the savage tribes,
where after they had passed, it was a
wilderness still, to the better roadwsys
that lead to civilization. We cannot
quote him, for to attempt it would be
to spoil the memory of his talk to
those who were fortunate enough to
hear il.
1t is believed that this two days
meeting here has done much good,
and the only regret was that more
people of the city and county did not
get the benefits of the occasion.

Indigestion Cured.

There is no case of indigestion, dys-
pepsia or stomach trouble that will not
yield to the digestive and strengthen
ing influence of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.
This remedy takes the strain off the
stomach by digesting what you eat
and allowing it to rest until it grows
strong again. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
affords quick and permanent relief
from Indigestion and all stomach
troubles, builds up the system and so
purifies that disease can not attack
and gain foothold as when in a
weakened condition The constantly
increasing use of Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure by physicians of hospital and gen.
eral practice of itself tells how this
most wonderful modern discovery has
proven to be the greatest digestant
for the alienation of a suffering hu-
manity. Its many cures of both chill
dren and adults grows larger day by
day. Sold by II. r. Moore, druggist.

RACE RIOT.
Two Persons Were Shot, One Of Whom
Will Lose His Life.

Two PERSONS were onot, Onc OF WnofH
Will Lose His Life.
New York, July 1.-Two persons
were shot, one probably fatally, in a
fight between mobs OF whites and ne
groes I'm West Sixteenth street Sun
day. The trouble began when Henry
Hart, a negro, was attacked in the
street by a number of white youths,
who accused him with interfering with
ball game. Hart fled, pursued by a
mobe of whites, hurting stones and
other missiles, and reached the tene-
ment house in which he lived. He got
revolver. while his pursuers made eff
forts TO break into the building. Hart
began firing. one of his shots striking
James Hunter. Policeman John Loye
ran into the house and arrested Hart
after the latter had fired twice at TIE
officer. As Loye brought his prisoner
out several negroes. armed with all
sorts of weapons, attempted to rescue
Hart. The policeman was knocked
own and kicked but he kept a firm
grip on his prisoner and finally sue
ceeded in warding off his ASSISTANTS.
By this time the whites had been re-
inforced and the negroes fed. A shot
fired from a negro tenement struck
Mrs. Mary Donohue I'm the head, infiict-
ing probably fatal wound. The police
arrested Albert Middleton, who is sup
posed to have fired the shot, and five
other negroes.
In spite Of the presence of large body
of police reserves, desultory fighting
between whites and black continued
until sudden downpour of rain ended
the hostilities.

exchanging the customary salutes and

for the transfer of the Kniaz Potem-
kline. Admiral Koslinsky. commanding
the Roumanian squadron. boarded the
Russian battleship Tchesme and in
formed Admiral Kruger that King
Charles had ordered him to turn the
vessel over to the Russian admiral. The
formalities of the transfer were com
pleted that afternoon and Admiral
Gruger boarded the KniaZ Potemkine.
The Associated Press representative
inspected the Kniaz PotemkinS after
the withdrawal OF the Roumanian
guard. Despite the efforts of the Rou-
manian government TO get things in
ship shape. everything aboard the bat
tleship was still I'm n state of wild dis
order. The officers cabins were strip
ped of everything of any value and
blood stains were everywhere. There
was sufficient ammunition aboard the
KniaZ Potemldne to have enabled the
mutineers TO make desperate resist
ance. II is stated that during the last
few days the vessel was navigated by
two engineers and AN officer with re-
volvers at their heads.
All Of the sailors wished to surrends
with the exception of Matuschenko

some time and wanted to blow up the
ship. Seven officers were prisoners
aboard the Kniaz Potemkine They
were in n pitiable condition from III
treatment They declare that Matu-
schenko himself killed ten officers of
the ship. All the papers and books be-
longing TO the vessel were destroyed.
II appears that the decision to sur
render the Kniaz PotemlSine was made
when I: became evident that no other
vessel would join I'm the mutiny. The
crew of the battleship seemed to be un-
aware Of the surrender of the George
