spoke Without 4 Tongue.

One Of the most remarkable cases on
record was that of woman well au-
thenticated at the beginning of the
eighteenth century who had no tongue
and yet spoke with perfect clearness.
She was brought to Lisbon, in Spain,
by Count q Ericeya, from Monsary, in
the territory of Elyas, Portugal, and
the following account Is given Of her
by an eminent divine: She is seven
teen years old, but does not look more
than seven. She can pronounce dis
tinctly every letter In the alphabet. She
has not the slightest bit of tongue, but
the teeth in both sides Of her under
jaw turn very much inward and almost
meet. Her chief difficulty Is In eating,
for while others move their food with
their tongue she is forced to use her
finger. She says that she tastes well.
Her voice, though very distinct, Is a
little hollow and like that Of old peo-
pie who have lost their teeth

1t looks as if we were going to be
loaded up with voting machines and mos
quitos for another year, as the Republican
Legislators who were promising to knock
them out, have nothing but excuses to offer
now. When they come up for reelection
they should be put on the retired list for
good. They know full well the sentiment
Of the voters in regard to these voting ma

Measures Defeated.

"A large number of bills were defeat
ed both in the Republican senate and
IN the Democratic house, the response
bility for adverse action on measures
being about equally divided Among
the measures lost were the following
The civil service bill
Referendum and initiative bills.
The local option bill to prohibit the
sale of liquor.
The BloHm bill to legalize liquor sale
on Sunday.
The bill providing for daily legis-
lative record.
The bill giving judges the right to re-
wise grand juries selected by the sher-
ifs.
One of the measures likely to be
heard from within the next few weeks
is the house resolution providing for
an investigation Of the Republican
state administrations for the past few
years. Five members Of the assembly
will conduct the investigation. The
Democrats hope to uncover extrava-
gance in state expenditures. The Re
publicans declare they have nothing to
fear from such an investigation.
The investigating committee will be
named by Speaker Lethbridge some
lime this week, and it Is expected to
complete its work in time to report on
June rs, when the legislature returns
for a clean up Of the session.

NOT so MANY WEEVILS.
eEEVILLE COUNTRY HAS BEEN
TOO DRY.
Planting Has Been Delayed on Account
of Dryness-No Volunteer Cotton
for WeeviI Feed.

Beeville, Tex: AS considerable cot
ton has been planted, is up and grow
ing, and much more to be planted,
that ogre of the cotton farmers, the
boil weevil, is a timely topic as a fac
tor in the crop of the current year.
Notwithstanding a report comes from
the chief bugologist of the Agricultur-
al Department at Washington that con-
ditions have been exceedingly favor
able for more than the usual crop Of
boil weevils in Texas this year, it is
not borne out by the facts, as least in
this section. While the winter has
been an exceedingly dry one, and like
wise has been the spring If there is
anything in the theory that the weevil
lives only few days after awaking
from his winter Information, large
numbers of the weevils that have
awakened from their winter sleep by
warm and early spring have. found
themselves without the sustenance u.s.
ually supplied by volunteer cotton and
the early planting. Planting this year
has been delayed several weeks later
than usual, and unless the weevil has
had the precedence to adjust his winter
sleep to conditions he has succumbed
for lack of food. In previous years
weevils have been found in fields pre-
vious to this. This year, so far as has
been learned genuine boil weevil has
not been found in the fields, and leads
to the conclusion that not as much ap
prehension need be felt over the pros
poets of this pest damaging the cot
ton crop as in former years.

SIX KILLED IN WRECK.
TWO M. X. & T. FRElGHTs COLLIDE
NEAR FIT. WORTH.
Many Cattle Kiled-Both Conductors
Had Clearance Orders-Both Run
ming 80 Miles and Hour.

Fort Worth, Tex: The most serious
railroad wreck in Tarant county in re-
cent years occurred Monday morning
Just before o'clock when two freight
trains, both running down grade at
full speed, on the Missouri, Kansas d
Texas Railway Collided head'on about
six miles south If the city.
1t is known that six men persisted,
either in the accident or in the con-
fagration which followed Immediately
thereafter, but not one of their bodies
had been taken ont of the charred de-
bris at late hour Monday afternoon,
and it is expected that when they are
found there will be nothing left but
ashes.
All of the men lived at Denison and
both crews were out of that city.
The wreck occurred in sag in the
track, Just after both engines had come
out of a cut, and it is estimated that
they must have been running at least
thirty miles an hour Both of the con-
ductors have shown clearance orders,
which takes any blame from any Of the
/ lrdlnIneu.
When the engines came together
they hit with such force that engine
No. 554 of the southbound train was
turned completely around and was
heading north when first seen. Twen-
ty-one care were piled within a space
of 100 feet, and sixteen of these CON
tanned cattle.
The southbound train was a solid
cattle train, which was loaded with
stuff for the market here and the
other was filled with general freight
When the wreck occurred many OF
the cattle were killed and in few
minutes thereafter the debris took
fire and many dead and injured cat
tie were burned. In all there were
800 head killed.
officials of the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas Railway estimate that the wreck
will cost the company about $4,000 in
property losses. The two locomotives
were worth 100000. and the merchan
disc and other rolling stock lost will
make the other $4,000.

beside the track after the flames had
spent their fury.
The portions of the bodies thus
found were gathered up and conveyed
to this city, from whence they were

Trade and industrial conditions
Indicate the presence Of many feat
ures, but at the same time it Is OBJ
vious that the general business
situation shows signs of relaxation
IN several important departments of
activity. The scarcity of money has
restricted the ability to launch much
new enterprise, whose chief need is
capital to develop schemes that can
not be pushed to completion for
lack Of the necessary financial back
ing. The money question, and the
credit question, and the question Of
confidence, are vital issues before
the country looming up large and
serious. 1t will not do to ignore
the consideration of these mighty
factors, and just now they are press
ing their claims upon the judgment
and ability of those best fitted to
grapple with these economic prob
lens. The entire business commu-
nifty will feel the benefit of any
definite improvement in financial
conditions that will permit healthy
industrial expansion on broad scale.

yield is expected to be less than las

season will be Of highly encourag
ing character. New York Cope
