Ranch in DuvaI County.

Announcement has been made
of the sale of the La Gloria

This is a well known ranch in
Texas. 1t was formerly the old
Gray ranch and was occupied by
one of the pioneers of Texas.
Miss Clara Driscoll, who has re-
Gently become Mrs. Hal Sewer,
lived on the ranch. The name of
her play book, THE Girl from La
Gloria" was taken from the name
of the ranch.
Mr.. Hart expects the sale and
cutting up of the ranch to result
in a considerable rise in the price
of land in that part of the State
The land on the ranch is very
fertile. 1t is likely that it will be
irrigated. On this ranch is one of
the largest and best furnished ranch
houses in tie State of Texas.

say they sold it because it had al
ready made them a good profit on
their investment, in spite of the
fact that they have had it only |
one year.
The action of the Missouri syndi-
cate in bringing farmers to Duval |
County, it is said, will be followed |
by other spectators in a short
time.
The sale was completed Satur-
lay and the papers will be filed
soon. Although the rate per acre

THE continued strenuous efforts
of the knockers to down Browns
VILE are bad-they hurt the town
without doubt, driving away home
seekers, and retarding development
here. But Brownsville has even
worse enemies than the knockers
to contend against. These are her
f5gefendcd friends, people who,
while ostensibly for Brownsville,
are working secretly against the
place, AMI sacrificing its interests
to their own selfish ends. There
are few such and they are men
of considerable influence. Some
of them are doing their utmost to
build up other sections at the eX-
pense of Brownsville. 1t is time
our people should have their eyes
opened to this fact and begin to
use some means to save the town
from its pretended friends.

A DANGEROUS MISTAKE.
Brownsville Mothers Should Not Neglect
Kidney Weakness in Children.

Most children have weak kidneys,
The earliest warning is bed-wet-
ing.
Later comes backache, headache,
languor.
IT'S a mistake to neglect these
troubles,
To blame the child FOR its own
distress.
Seek to cure the kidneys
Save the child from deadly kid
ney ills.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick
Parents recommend them.
Mrs. c. H. Blain, of Corpus
Christi, Texas, says: My grand
child, about eight years of age,
was troubled with a kidney ard
bladder ailment about a year ago.
The symptoms became more pro-
nounced and at night had to watch
her and wake her up or she would
wet the bed as she seemed to have
no control over the action of the
kidney secretions. She also COM
planned of pain in the back of her
neck and head. Procuring Doan's
Kidney Pills, I was grateful to see
the change for the better within
a short time. l have great faith in

enough she is sold and becomes the
nucleus of hive.
The leading queen breeder O.
America lives in Ohio. He rear:
| 5000 blue-blooded queens each yeal
and ships them to every corner o.
the civilized world.
VALUE OF a GOOD QUEEN.
There are now not less than
100000 beekeepers in the United
States, raising honey in greater OF
less quantities for market, and many
thousands more producing it for
home consumption. In the prod
uction of honey California leads
the Union, shipping East about
$50 car loads, or 100000 pounds
annually. Colorado, Utah, Texas
and Nevada are also great honey
producing States, although not in
the same class with California. The
Importance of the queen bee breed
ing industry to honey producers
lies in the fact that the character
of the workers in the hive depends
entirely upon the queen. The
queen lives for four years or more,
but the average life of a worker
does not exceed in duration forty
days. If a high-born queen is
placed in a hive of the most worth
less set of ugly, cross, little black
bees that ever manipulated sting,
in forty days at most the whole
colony will be transformed into
aristocratic, gentle, yellow-legged,
Woodworking Italians. By the
simple introduction of a good
queen many a farmer anC honey
producer has trebled his honey
production in a single season.
LAYS IS, 10000 EGGS.
There are no kings in beeland.
The queen is supreme. She gathers
no honey and never soils her feet
or mandibles by any sort of labor.
To attend to her wants and guard
her person a retinue of her subjects
are always i'll attendance. She is
fed upon chyma, or royal Jelly,
which none but a queen may
partake of, and which only the
chiefs of the hive know how to
prepare. She has but one mission |
in life, and but one duty is expect
ed of her. That is to lay eggs.
Every citizen in her realm is her
and no one has ever &C
cused her of any tendency to prac-
tice race suicide. During her busy
season she lays from 1000 to 5000
eggs a Cay, and in the course of
her lifetime of usefulness she
becomes the mother of anywhere
from IS, 900, 900 to 5000, 900 chill
dren.
1t is sometimes said that no
house was ever built large enough
to hold two women. 1t is equally
true that no hive was ever made
big enough to hold two queen bees.
They will clinch as soon as they
come together and never let go till
one is lifeless. To this rule there
is but one exception. When the
queen of the hive grows old and
lnCapacitated the workers will raise
a new queen; and she and the old
dowager always seem to get along
i'll perfect harmony.
The beehive monarchy is by no
means despotism. The queen is
to hearken to the wishes
Of the multitude; and, in cases
where she remains obdurate, she is
assassinated with as little compunc-
ton as Nihilists feel for the unit
mely cutting off of a Russian Car.
Many an unhappy courtier has
paid with his life for the favor of
-ocompiaisant queen. 1t is even
so in beeland. The mating takes
places in midair. The drone that
)asked in the smiles of the queen
drops to the earth a corpse; and his
'Orpetful mistress returns to the

CATHOLIC MEETING ON.
German Societies to Talk Socialism
at Kenosha.

Kenosha, Wis, June 6.-The tenth
biennial convention of the Wisconsin
Stats VerbaEd and the Juenglings
Verein was opened at Germania hail
in this city yesterday morning ana
the attendance at the opening conven-
ton session gives evidence that the
Kenosha session will be the most i'm
portant and largely attended in the
history of the federation of the Cath
Ollie societies in the state.
The rush to the city began Sunday
morning and Sunday night there waS
no less than 500 visitors in the city.
The crowd this morning is estimated
at from 1000 to 5000. Special trains
brought large delegations from Mil
waukee, Sheboygan and Racine, while
the secretary of the convention de-
clares that almost every Catholic so,
ciety in the state connected with the
Stats Verband is represented by one
or more delegates.
None of the dignitaries of the
church will be present at the Kenosha
biennial. However, the Catholics will
have a distinguished guest in the per-
son of Father Bonaventura of Berlin,
who will make an address this even
ing.
The convention was opened by
President Adolph Weber of Racine
and Aloise Steinberg of Milwaukee
acted as secretary. Following this
opening meeting high mass was sung
at st. Georges church, Rev. Father
WINNER of st. Mary's hospital, Ra-
cine, preaching the sermon.
The delegates seem to be of the
opinion that one of the most import
ant matters to come UP at this con-
vention is the attitude of the societies
toward the rapid growth of Socialism
among Catholics.
