Tomorrow the streets will be clean

cleans the business streets Of the city
twice a week. as has always been the
custom, and the only reason he does
not use the street sweeper on them
is because the merchants of the city
petitioned the city not to allow it
done on account OF the dust, He also
says his force has cleaned up the al

Palestine is in good shape from a san

This morning about 4 o'clock fire
was discovered burning in the store
house of Wallace Nash, who conducts
a grocery business in Old Town, on
the west side OF the square. The fire
company responded promptly, but the
fire had gained considerable Roadway
before the fire boys arrived. The
stock was insured for $1,000 with W

coNsPlRED TO FREE PARK.
Steel Saws Had Been Furnished and
Fire Was to Be Started.

Groveton. Texas, Aug. 3O.-A con-
spiracy to effect a jail delivery for
the benefit of II. o. Park. who Is now
serving ont an extended sentence in
the Trinity county Jail after having
made one escape. was discovered by
the local peace officers yesterday.
Park had at least two confederates.
One of these furnished him four ex-
cCllent steel saws with which to cut
his way to liberty, while a second
was TO set fire to certain property
here at the critical time so that Park
might make his escape unnoticed dur
ing the attendant excitement When
the peace officers learned the plans OF
the conspiratOrs they went at once to
the Jail and confirmed the reports by
finding the saws hidden In Parks bed
A judiciary investigation of this con-
spiracy may throw some light on the
mystery OF his former escape. There
is scarcely a doubt but that he was
assisted before by several persons
here and that one OF those parties
wrote the letter to the Galveston
News condemning the Law and Order
League as criminals and stating over
Park S signature that the reason for
his escape was the fear that Sheriff
Kirlwood would poison him and that
an loyal democrats in this county
were rejoicing at his escape. Park
denies that he wrote this letter or au-
thOrized IL to be written.

The following conversation took
place yesterday on the street when
reporter for the Advertiser met Fred
L. Waldron, the local commission
merchant, who buys largely both on
the Pacific and Atlantic coasts:
''Well, Mr.. Waldron, how is busi-
ness ?"
"I am not doing any business, nor
is anyone else since the freight service
by the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS has be-
come worse than it ever was by the
oldtime sailing vessels. You laugh at
that, do you? Come in here and I'll

Going into H. May & Co.'s store
Manager w. 7. Lucas was found, and
told of the question and answer:
''Why, there is 10 doubt of that's
being true. Are you aware of the fact
that flour is so scarce here at present
famine? I have been sending around
town for the past week trying to buy
flour in twenty-five sack lots and can
not get it. There is practically none
in the city. Hackfeld has none, Con
salves has none, Davies has none, and
we are also out. The bakers have a
little, and the retail houses have a lit
tie, but no one has enough to supply
the demand for more than a few days.
what is the cause of this? The
Missouri brought down a little freight
for US, but our orders were cut down,
as the American-Hawaiian people said
that the Texan would be along in a
few days and she would bring down
plenty. Up to September % we ex-
pected the Texan, when we were in
formed that she would not come here
at all and that the AriZonan would
bring her cargo. We are still waiting
for the Arizonan, which was to have
sailed from the Sound on October IA,
and is still advertised to sail at that
time but has not left yet, so far as
can be learned.
What can we do with such a SER
vice? All kinds of feed here are
scarce, I don't believe that you can
buy a single sack of oats in the city,
and the barley is almost out. / am
for any company which will give US
better service than that which we are
getting at present, as it is not what
we deserve from the American-Hawai-
ian.''
