Now Chief of stan.
This lieutenant that was is now. or
shortly will be, chief of staff, United
States army His name is James
| Franklin Bell He is commonly called
Franklin Bell for short. And now that
the country has at last found him out.
he will bear watching. His career in

was exciting. adventurous. dramatic,
innovating. era-making work. Yet,
strange to tell. not one American in
thousand probably knows aught of
what Bell did in the Philippines. while
every mothers son of us knows all
about the river-swimminS feat that
Fred Funston never performed.
Franklin Bell landed in the Philip
pines with the original military expedi-
ton. a lieutenant of regulars merely.
Fifteen months thereafter he was
brigadier general of volunteers, and SO
months after putting foot in Manila a
brigad;er general in the regular army.
During the greater part of the time
that the new chief OF staff was rapidly
rising from rank TO rank he was report
ing TO Major General Arthur MacAr-
thur, commanding the Cd division. 1t
was on the latter's recommendations
that advancement came to Bell. Now.
by a curious irony of fate. Bel has
been chosen for the position that many
army officers feel should be MacAr-
thurs in the natural course of events.
Franklin Bells first work in the Phil
ippines was as chief of the intelligence
department The assignment was
made by Major General Otis The
chief intelligence officers headquarters
were in Manila. His work was suffi-
GENTLY appreciated to gain him the APP
continent of chief of scouts as soon
as the outbreak against the Americans
occurred. He had been wounded the
first day of the outbreak, but he was in
the saddle before the wound had heal
ed and for the next II or IA months
he led as daredevil an existence as
ever imaginative romancer fervidly
painted between book covers.
Did Own Observing.
AS chief of scouts Major Bell was at
tached To the I'd division. He had
about 20 men under him, a mere hand
iul for the job of spying out the posi-
tons of the Filipinos. But Bell did
not trust so much to the men under
him as TO his own powers of observa
ton. 1t was the usual thing for him
creep right up to the Filipino trench
es, and, under cover of dense tropical
growth, to study the positions. Or. if
lie could not get the desired informa-.
ion that way, he exposed himself to
he Filipino fire with a pleasant look
on his face and his broad chest thrown

When the I'd division, in the summer
of 1899, went into quarters at San Fer

was made colonel of volunteers, with

would rather fight than eat. Home had
no attractions for them as long as
there was exciting work in prospect,
and especially under such a daredevil
as Bell was recognized to be by both
er at Manila 500 of about the best fight
ers that ever went to the islands. Com
mander and men were peculiarly at
tracted and suited to one another.
One of Col Bells lieutenants was a
man of the name of Ferguson. He had
been private under Funston. AT Cal

One would think the laxative idea
in cough syrup should have been
advanced long before it was. 1t seems
the only rational remedy for coughs and
colds would be to move the bowels

In the death of Col. R. G. Lowe
the State has lost one of it's bright.
est and bralniest men. No higher
TESTING nial of this assertion could
be made than only to refer to the
Galveston. Dallas News. Not only
has the State lost a brilliant light,
but the nation has lost one of its
truest patriots, and the press one
of its staunchest friends. Texas
can i'll afford to have such men
taken away. Galveston needs his
guiding hand, and the press his
unerring Judgment. Some places
are made empty, never again to be
filled. The vacancy caused by the
death of Col. Lowe is one of these
places. He needs no monument

Sheppard Reports from Washington.
January 18th, 1906

My dear Sir and Friend:-I have
examined Captain Wooten's re.
port on the Jefferson. Shreveport
waterway. Senator Culberson and
] called on the War Department
recently and went over the report
in detail. The War Department
will not permit the report to be
published for some time yet, but
| am at liberty to give the follow
ing general information concerning
it. The report states that reliable
low. water navigation between jeff.
erson and Shreveport for eight
months in the year may be OBJ
tanned by project the principal
features of which are a lock and
dam across Caddo Lake near its
outlet below Mooringsport into
Big Pass and the dredging of a
channel from Little Pass to Albany
Point. There are other features,
but these are the main ones.
Captain Wooten estimates the cost
of this work TO be 1925 900. He
then states that the section to be
benefited is not, in his opinion, of
sufficient comm ercial importance
to justify the expenditure twill
be observed that the ground of his
unfavorable opinion is his belief
that the commercial returns will
not justify the expenditure. Under
the rules of the War Department
and Congress this report must be
submitted to a reviewing board
known as the Board of Engineers
for Rivers and Harbors. Senator
Culberson and l have obtained
permission from this Board to APP
pear before it and endeavor to
show that the territory to be bene-
fitted and the probable com mercial
returns are of sufficient importance
and magnitude to justify the gov
eminent in entering upon the
work. The Board will give the
hearing on February IA, 1906, at
II a. m. All data and arguments
which you may haye in reference
to this proposition should be sent
to Senator Culberson or myself
before that date. Yours very
truly, NORRIS SHEPPARD.

Clally take notice oil THIS docket.
Of the 81 cases brought to our no.
tice for examination a little over
95 per cent are chargable to the
colored people, while only 5 per
cent are charged against the whites,
and nearly all these crimes by the
colored are against each other
Under these conditions the colored
people must try to better their
status as citizens if they would
claim sympathy and protection
from the whites. 1t should be
plain to tkem that were it not for
the lawless colored element in our
county, our criminal docket would
be insignificant, and thousands of
dollars would be saved to the coun-
ty every year.
We advise that trial of our
county convicts be made on our
public roads. Our road system of
building is very bad. Our roads
are in a deplorable condition
throughout the county. We would
ask our county judge to correspond
with county judges where county
convict labor is worked, and if he
should find this labor practicable
and efficient, to devise means to
try it in this county.
We would ask our county officers
who collect money due the county
to keep record docket of same
which shall show date of collec-
lions, under what process, to whom
disbursed, and date of disburse-
ment. This method not only pro.
tects them, but gives ready means
to the grand jury, or to anyone
else, to check them up with the
county treasurer in their reports
TO courts during the year. These
officers should make their reports
tally with the record docket.
We find the Jail neatly kept, and
the prisoners are well fed. We
recommend that additional mat.
tresses and covering be placed in
the Jail for the comfort of the pris.
oners. Also that good fires be kept
in the hall, and on cold days that
the prisoners be let out in the hall.
Also that glass windows be put in
the cells.
We appointed a committee OF
three from our body to examine
into the accounts of our county Of
fcers. and find that the moneys of
the county have been properly dis.
bursed from the data furnished.
We also find that the records OF
fines as kept by the constable and
the justice of the peace Of precinct
8, are not as clear to US as they
should be. We recommend that
they keep their records of fines in
such manner that anyone could
make them tally at any and all
times. In other words they should
keep complete and concise rec
ord of fines and judgments, ant
that this record will show the dis
bursements of all cash received.
We also find that the report o
the justice OF the peace of precinc
No. 5, and that of the county treas
|: urer do not tally, aud recomm enc
that they get together and get thei
differences straight.
We recommend that the justices
of the Deace all over the cOunt,
will increase their fines imposed
