San Antonio, Texas. Dec. 1s.-The
Monk Gibson trial will begin again
this morning and probably continue
until the middle of the week. as the
witnesses for the defense have not yet
been placed on the stand. OF the SO
witnesses who came from Edna more
than a third are for the State, MONK
seems to have taken the hint since he
has heard every story he ever told re-
mounted by the witnesses and Will
not talk except to confirm the story
he has told since in this city. He
says he has no idea what will be done
with him or how the trial is going.
The witnesses have told Of the APP
pearance of the Conditt house imme.
diately after the murder, and the main
fight now will be to show by the To-
cations of the houses around the Con-
dit farm whether or not other per-
sons could have gotten away from the
house Immediately after the murder
without being SEEN
The conviction Of the citizens Of
Jackson county that Monk is guilty
is so firm that he would never be
safe there. He said to the jailor that
he will not go back. He does not know
what he will do in the event he is ac-
quilted.

Farmers Co-OperatiDe
Union of .Ameuca.

There was a good nlmber of the best
men in the Union who were opposed
to the formation Of the National I'm
ion They stayed in the camp and
fought 1t out to the last trenches.
This fight was made openly ana above
board They thought that it was an
inopportune time for such step, as
It would be an additional tax on the
members and they thought that It
would serve but little real useful end
to the organization at this time.
These men, good and true. lost their
fight, but they are not sulking in their
tents. They are not made Of that
sort of stun. Not on your life They
are resistant and inslstant clay and
are full Of honesty and vitality. and
today they are out fighting for the
farmers rights as against any sort
Of oppression, whether it comes from
consumer. factor or factory. Men
who can fight their enemies and men
who fight In the open are the men
we want IN our army The farmers
have no Nihllistic sort Of notions and
will not putup with any sort of star
chamber methods They Gown the
earth and they propose to use it and
to get pay for what they do for other
people, and there they stop. Open
fighters are the sort to win in this
sort Of contest.

The above is Beaumont's dark Sun
day story for yesterday. Intense ex-
citement prevails over the tragedy
which occurred yesterday morning be-
tween and 10 o'clock, though at this
writing nothing has developed to prove
the people of Beaumont other than
the most law abiding citizens under
stress of such anger and resentment
At 9:12 the negro, Henry Powell,
walked up the street on the car track
on Fifth street in the. South End and
Motorman Merritt approached with
his car. When the point just oppo
site the car barns was reached Merritt
brought his car to stop and began
to say something to the negro about
getting off the track. No one heard
what was said, and Conductor Barnado
was not close enough to understand
exactly what went on. In an instant,
however, the negro, who all the time
held two revolvers in his hands, shot
once at Merritt and the latter fell
with a bullet through his neck and
head only one shot was fired.
In few minutes every available
officer was in the South End or Low

Concrete walls should not crack.
There are many reasons for walls
cracking. One Is the settling OF foun-
dations, which is the most common
cause; also walls being heaved by
frost Concrete walls. built on good
foundation and thoroughly built will
not crack 2. To secure roofs to CON
crete walls, anchor the plate to the
concrete walls by building in the CON
crete wall bolts with large washers on
lower end, say, every eight feet apart,
having top end Of bolt stick up about
three inches above wall to bolt plate

YET LONG WAY OFF
FURTHER PROGRESS OF THE
CHICAGO STRIKE is NOW DE-
PENDENT ON THE TEAM OWN
ERs' ASSOCIATION.

Chicago, June S.-The teamsters' strike
has reached the point where It's further
progress and its further increase is de-
pendent upon the action taken by the
members of the Chicago Teamowners'
association This organization has from
the first declined to make deliveries to
the boycotted houses and has constantly
urged the teamsters to arbtrate the ques-
ton of making such deliveries.
The teamsters have positively refused
to deliver or receive goods and the last
chance of securing any concessions from
the teamsters having faded away, the
members of the teamowners association
must either decide to deliver goods or all
low the teamsters to have their own way
in the matter. Opinion among the MEM
bers of the teamowners' association is
strongly divided, and the result may be
a split in its ranks. Several of the largest
teamowners in the city have announced
that they are going to make deliveries,
while other members of the association
are undecided as to their course of ac-
ton. A meeting of the organization will
be held tomorrow night, and the action
taken at that time will largely determine
the future scope of the strike. If the
teamowners' association decides to make
deliveries and discharge all of it's men.
who refuse to obey orders, the ranks of
The strikers will be increased by about
5000 men.
The strikers made another attempt to-
day to force a break in the ranks OF
the employers association. A committee
called upon Edward Hilman, proprietor
of large dry goods house, and asked
him to arrange another conference be-
tween the transfers and the employers
Mr. Hillman positively refused, saying
that unless the strikers had some new
proposition to offer, II was useless to
attempt to reach any agreement. Their
present attitude. he said, was such that
there could be no possible middle grounds
upon which the employers could meet
them. This was the only attempt at adj
iusting the strike made today and II
Is not probable that more efforts will ba
made for some time to come.
