til told of it over the telephone.

Mrs. Weber's body is visiting the fam

INCIPIENT CONFEDERATION
DRAWS A VAST CROWD

A blaze at Harris e. Franks Spring
street store yesterday afternoon for a
few minutes gave glowing promises of
a spectacular fire. The prompt work Of
an improvlsed fire brigade prevented
any serious damage.
A young man on the floor above the
clothiers quarters careessly threw a
burning match out of the open window.
1t chanced to fall on the dry awning.
Within a few minutes great crowd
had collected, but the fire did not have
a chance to make much headway.
From all the rooms on the second
floor the frightened occupants poured
forth. each to do his share toward eX-
tnguishing the flames. Every, water
tight vessel within reach was pressed
into service.
Five minutes after the first alarm had
sounded through the flat the fire was
out, and the blackened awning was
dripping with water of all grades of
cleanliness. A trifle less than a square
yard of the canvas was burned The
loss will probably amount to $1.2S, all
of which is covered by insurance.

Garfield MURDER
NEARLY REPEATED
MANIAC WANTED MONEY OF
MRS. MAIER
Former Employe of Brewer Demands
That Widow Pay for Publishing
Religious Book-Insane Man
Sent to Asylum

That Mrs. Joseph Maier, widow of
the late partner of the firm of Maier
& Zobelein, very narrowly missed the
death that Mrs. Cloe Garfield suffered
at the hands of Morris Buck last Janu-
airy was ascertained yesterday in de-
partment two of the superior court
when V. D. Lauer, a religious maniac,
was sent to the asylum after making
certain confessions of his intentions.
Mrs. Garfield was killed by a former
employe, a coachman, who wrote to her
asking the loan of money to establish
a bakery. She had been warned to
send the money by mail. and this she
did not do, and Buck called at her
home and killed her. He is now under
sentence of death.
Some time ago V. D. Lauer labor
er was employed on the Maier estate
near Glendale. When his actions be-
came peculiar he was discharged, but
spent some time loafing about in the
neighborhood and muttering to him
self He finally wrote several letters to
Mrs. Maier telling her that he wanted
to publish a book on his religion, re-
ligion that he had constructed himself,
and that he wanted her to help him
by donating $4,000, the same amount
demanded by Buck.

Refuses to Send Money

Mrs. Maier refused and did not send
the amount and Lauer wrote several
other letters to her. Then Mrs. Maier
became alarmed and notified the police.
Lauer fixed a date when he was going
to call for the money. Detectives
Chapman and Holmes waited at the
Maier home four days before the wild
looking apostle of a new faith made
his appearance. They asked him what
he wanted and he said he wanted
money from Mrs. Maier.
The officers arrested him and locked
him up, later filing complaint of IN
sanity against him.
Yesterday Lauer admitted that he
had read the Canfield case in the pa
pers. but that he had not let that be a
guide for his actions. The preliminary
! steps of both affairs. however, We're a
little too similar to please the court.
I.auer explained that he wore an
enormous beard and mustaches and let
his hair grow long because 1t was a
part of his religion. He said that II
! anyone should catch him and cut Off
his hair and beard that, Sampson-like,
he would become greatly weakened and
| it would also lessen his chances IN OBJ
| tanning entrance to heaven.
He said that for fifteen years past
he had eaten no meat because it was
his religion that eating meat was sin
! full. He had lived on vegetables pc
cause it was a part of his religion. He
stated that his religion was peculiar
and was composed of chapters taken
from the Bible, from Shakespeare S
works. from certain books written by
! Goethe, from Tolstoi's works and from
some novel called THE Magnet OF
| Death"
Some of his writings were examined
but most of them were of such hor-
rible character that the court decided
the man must be insane, and he was
committed to the asylum,
Mrs. Mary Schalert, victim OF
mclancholia, was also committed TO
the asylum. Mrs Schallert lives at
Hollywood and has been In the asylum
once before for the same cause

MOUNTAIN GUIDES FAIL HER.
Miss Peck Will Make Another Attempt
Upon the Highest Andean Peak.

Miss Annie Peck, whose chief pleas
TIRE is climbing mountains, has re-
turned to New York from Peru, beaten
in her attempt to climb the highest
of the Andes, beaten not by the noun
tain itself, but the worthlessness of
the men she employed as guides and
porters on the expedition. She is con-
WINGED that she would nave reached
the summit but for the faults of her
men and says she is going back with
Swiss mountain men to make another
attempt.
AS it was she reached height OF
$4,000 feet, being then about 1000 feet
above the summit. This was at her
first attempt One of her men deserted
and the rest got drunk on the alcohol
which was carried as fuel for cook
ing. Besides they were all afraid OF
the trip and especially as they ap-
preached the top of the mountain, OF
which they have a superstitious dread
The second attempt was like the
first, except that the men gave out
sooner and so less progress was made
before the attempt had to be aband

A LAND PRODUCING
TWO CROPS PER YEAR
MarveIously Rich; Enormous Yield;
Farmers Flocking In.

. Brownsville, Tex, Feb. browns
vile is the southern terminus OF the
st. Louis, Brownsville & Mexico rail
way. This line was completed in 1904,
and has opened up to development a
section of the richest and most pro-
ductive land to be found anywhere in
the United States-California not ex-
cepted.
There is no more fertile region in
all this broad land of ours than that be-
tween the Nueces and the Rio Grande.
None will produce greater variety OF
fruits and vegetables, or produce them
more abundantly; and what counts for
more, the Gulf coast country will pro-
duce them at times when no other re-
gion can. Two crops per year of the
staple vegetables is the regular pro-
gramme. And yet up to the fall OF
1904 comparatively little was known
of this marvellous fertility. The re-
gion has heretofore been given over
to cattle raising-ranches Of thousands
of acres-thus tying up ali this vast
natural winter Vegetable Garden un-
der the merciless hoof of Texas beef
producers.
But this is all changing and chang
ing fast. Eastern and northern farm
ers and fruit growers are flocking into
this country. Towns are springing up
ranches have been cut up into farms
ON every hand is the evidence of a
new era of prosperity and of develop
ment along the line of extensive irri-
gated farming.
There is an underlying sheet OF
clear artesian water which has beer
tapped by hundreds of wells, and more
are being sunk daily. This provides
never-failing source of supply for the
one element needed to make this coun-
try veritable garden, and there are
those who predict great things for this
Gulf coast of Texas. / am advised
that 16 car loads Of people were
brought down from different points
along the st. Louis, Brownsville &
Mexico railway by the Rock Island
trains alone on January 10, which was
the date of a low-rate excursion.
At this pace the country bids fair
to be peopled in short order. And all
it needs is people.

FEARFUL BURNING SORES.
Boy in Misery IL Years-Eczema In
Rough Scales, itching and In
Manufactured by Cuticura.

II wish to inform you that your
wonderful Cuticura has put stop to
twelve years of misery l passed with
my son. AS an infant I noticed on
his body red spot and treated same
with different remedies for about five
years, but when the spot began to
get larger 1 put him under the care
Of doctors. Under their treatment the
disease spread to four different parts
of his body. The longer the doctors
treated him the worse it became. Dur
ing the day it would get rough and
form like scales. At night it would
be cracked, in2amed, and badly swol-
len, with terrible burning and itch
ing. When l think of his suffering,
it nearly breaks my heart. His
screams could be heard downstairs.
The suffering of my son made me
full of misery. l had no ambition to
work, to eat, nor could l sleep.
One doctor told me that my sons
eczema was incurable, and gave it up
for bad job. One evening saw an
article IN the paper about the wonder
full Cuticura and decided to give it a
trial. tell you that Cuticura Ointment
is worth its weight in gold, and when
/ he.: used the first box of Ointment
there was a great improvement, and
by the time had used the second set
of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Clint
ment, and Cuticura Resolvent, my
child was cured. He is now twelve
years old, and his skin is as fine
and smooth as silk. Michael Stein

already known to exist in the sun be-

it constitutes a common atmosphere
