The Reaction In London.
ON the Springfield Republican.

Municipal enterprises have been devei-
oped so much more extensively in English
cities than In this country that the recent
reaction in London against municipal So
cialism' seems like the operation of the po-
litical law of equilibrium. Londoners have
evidently called halt upon municipal own
ership schemes. They want no more ex-
periments until those already in operation
have been proved to be successful. Such,
and no more, seems to be the meaning OF
the recent overwhelming defeat OF the pro-
gressive. or municipal, ownership party, In
the borough elections OF the English me-
tropolis.

There is only one way to cure deafness,

inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,

ROBERT VANDERVOORT DEAD
"Loop.the.LOop" King Killed In Railroad
Wreck-Was Corpus Christi Boy.

News was received several days
ago by J. D. Scrivner of this city
of the death of his brother-in-law,
Robert Vandervoort, better known
as the famous 'loop-the-loop"
king, whose death occurred in New
York as the result of injuries re-
ceived in railroad wreck in that
state. Mr.. Vandervoort was a
former resident of Corpus Christi,
being the son of Mrs. R. J. Shirley
of that place and a brother of Mrs.
Scrivner of Brownsville. He was
the first man to perform the won
derful and dangerous loop-the-
loop" feat, which gained him fame
all over the world. Commenting
upon the sad news of his death, the
Corpus Crhisti Caller says:
Mr.. Vandervoort some years
ago startled the world by success
fully performing the dangerous feat
of looping the loop III New York
City, and has since been touring
the world, performing before all the
crown heads of Europe. Since he
has followed this dangerous voca-
ton he has had many initators,
but none surpassed him. In Fore
paugh's great shows, with which
he travelled some years, he was
styled 'Diavalo. Besides looping
the loop in the original way, Van
dervoort performed the feat of 60
ing through the dangerous evolu-
ton with one hand on his handle
bars and holding a glass of beer
above his head in the other, this
being done especially for the edit
cation of the Kaiser of Germany.
To the grief-stricken relatives
their many friends extend sym
pathy, for we were all proud of
daring, courageous Bob Wander

The Steamboat and an aft"

If Robert Fulton had succeeded
in proving to Napoleon that his
steamboat was a revolutionary in
vention the history of the whole
world might have been changed. A
critic reasons as follows: Fulton
laid before the French emperor his
plan for steam navigation. 1t might
have appealed to Napoleon had he
personally investigated it, but he
preferred to leave the decision to a
commission of wiseacres, who re-
ported that navigation by the aid
of steam was an obvious absurdity.
That was two years before the bat
tie of Trafalgar was fought. Had
he accepted the advice of Fulton
and gone at once to building, the
great army massed at Boulogne
might after all have landed in. Eng
land and wrought its military mir
acles upon British soil instead of at
Austerlitz, to which Trafalgar turn
ed it."

NEGRO Troops Disarmed


On Sunday morning at Fort
Reno, Oklahoma, companies B. c.
and D. of the Twenty-ffth Infan-
try, the negro troops who were
guilty of the outrage upon Browns
vile, were formally disarmed. The
news report of the event says many
of the men, some of whom had
been in the service over twenty
years, shed tears on giving up their
guns. On Monday the troops had
battalion drill without arms. They
were to be discharged probably
Monday or Tuesday.
The second battalion of the
Twenty-sixth Infantry, under
Major Clark, which went from San
Antonio, camped just outside Fort
Reno to be ready to suppress any
disturbance that might arise.

DOES THE DOG REAsoN7
Authentic Instances That Seem to War.
rant That Conclusion.

rant That Conclusion.
A dog 1 owned suffered a great
deal with indigestion. The least in
discreet diet would bring on these
attacks, and as they occurred very
frequently l had large bottle of
medicine always on hand and kept
it on shelf in his kennel. The
dog seemed to have acquired thor
ough comprehension as to the relief
bringing quality of that bottle.
Wkeaever he was i'll and food was
placed before him he would scent it,
walk away without touching it, then
turn to the shelf and, gazing stead
lily at the bottle, indicate plainly his
wants. He took the medicine with
out the slightest baking, which is
rather exceptional, as any one who
ever tried to dose a dog will agree.
This dog when let out would
never disturb anything in the poul-
try yard, but the moment stray
chick lost her way into his yard the
savage got the better of him. He
would catch the unfortunate strag-
gler, kill and devour it, leaving only
a few feathers as evidence of the
murder" Punishment always fol-
lowed. The remnants of feathers
were shown to the dog so as to i'm
press on him his wrong doings and
make the cause of the punishment
clear to him. From time to time
young chickens would be missing,
and all efforts to locate the guilty
one were vain. The dogs yard was
always scrutinized, but nothing
found.
Ny best broilers we're disappear
ing at rapid rate, and l decided to
have the dog watched. Soon he was
caught in the act and the mystery
solved. The moment the dog had
finished his meal he scratched the
feathers in heap and carried them
with his teeth to a corner of his
yard, where he buried them. The
dog had the most embarrassed and
helpless expression at the time he
was caught that I ever noticed on
a dog. An extra severe punishment
was dealt out, and l do not know
if the modification of being trapped
or the punishment did the work,
but the dog was cured from that
moment on.
The related observations show
reasoning in order to accomplish
something for set purpose. l be-
heve most animals possess the quail
ity in some degree, more or less,
according to their mental develop
ment.
In the last case described the
dogs instinct led him to catch and
kill the chicken, but memory told
him that punishment would follow
if found out. He reasoned that by
hiding the evidence of his guilt he
would escape punishment for his ac-
tons, which he understood to be
wrong. The very fact of being able
to discriminate between right and
wrong and trying to check the con-
sequences of the latter shows the
necessity of thinking and therefore
of reasoning powers. L. De Fa-
bry in Outing.

OUR GOLDEN OPPOR-
TUNTY.

The recent great influx here OF
people from almost every state in
the union constitute the tide in
the affairs of Brownsville, which,
if taken at the food, will lead on
to the fortune of these immigrants,
of the country in general and to
all us who have property or bust
ness interests in the country.
Never before has there been such
a food of immigration to this sec
ton, and the next few months
will bring people mere by the
thousands. These people come
and are yet to come, attracted by
reports of the wonderful resources
of the Rio Grande Valley, the fer
fifty of the soil and the even
agreeableuess of the climate and
with the treatment and induce
ments common courtesy and the
real nature of the country justify,
we make not the slightest doubt
MANY of them will invest in our
lands aud join us heart and soul in
an honest, conscientious effort to
create a greater Brownsville and
upbuild the entire surrounding
country. To the extent we sell
these people from the north por-
tions of our lands ard an interest
lin the country, thereby causing
them to forsake their homes and
bring hither families expecting
to spend the remainder of their
lives with us and of us, to that
extent we sell them an interest
in the great work of evolving
from our virgin soil and infant
institutions the greatest country
the world has ever known. But,
if we fail to grasp the opportunity
offered by this great influx Of
homeseekers. letting them go tc
invest III other vicinities, it is not
difficult to foretell the future oi
Brownsville. 1t is an absolute
impossibility for country or town
to develop. unless we give these
homeseekers a foothold. 1t takes
small farms TO make the land pro-
ductive and to build up the bust.
ness of the adjacent town. And
the country which fills up first with
small farmers will be the first tc
build up prosperous towns. Il
rests with the people of Brownsville
and Of this vicinity to claim and
hold their share of the tide o.
homeseekers now coming hitler.

Rate Bill to Hold Attention of Con-

WASHINGTON. April 18- Spcecics
on the railroad rate bill we're tie fea-
ture in the senate today. Notwitll-
standing the assurances TO the con
trary which were given 10y senator
there is no immediate prospect this
week for securing an agreement upon
a time for voting upon the bill. Soma
tor Tillman has stated that Senator La
Toilette would probably he ready TO
proceed tomorrow. but the senator
himself was not prepared to say wheth-
er he would do so. 1t is probable that
the junior Wisconsin senator will be
followed Immediately by his colleague.
Senator Spooner. who will devote his
especial attention to the points raised
by Senator Bailey and will reply to the
Texas senator's contention that con
gress has a right to limit the injunc-
tive powers of the lower United States
courts.
