 St Paul is careful to make a dis tinction between his own conscience and the possible judgment of the Lord. He was not aware of any neg lect of duty. He would be right with his own heart and mind and at peace with himself. That was one thing. But, there was the other fact to be considered: whatever a mans own consciousness might be how does it harmonize with Gods view of the matter?
 St Paul knew by some bitter expert ence that a mans conscience alone is not safe guide to conduct. The wit ness of a good conscience may prove that one is sincere. Saul of Tarsus prosecuting the followers of esus, wal sincere, and conscious of doing hi. duty. But after his conscience hat

THE MOISTURE CAME.

When citizens Of this locality were
becoming considerably concerned
about the continued dry spell, and
were fearful lest the wheat would be
ruined and the oats fail to sproui
and come up, the moisture came.
Friday night light rain began In
this locality, and continued during
the night, turning into snow, and
Saturday morning a light snow COW
cred the earth, The snow continued
to fall, Saturday Saturday night
and all day Sunday, and some snow
has been flying in the air during
today, but the sun has been shining
most OF the time, and the snow has
mostly disappeared, much OF It as It
fell.

night, fro2e light scum Of ice on

has been, up to this morning,
S4-1OO of an inch, there being 2-10
inches of snow, and 2-100 of an inch
rainfall The snowfall Is the heavi-
est recorded in the month OF April
during the history of the weather sta
ton here, but much OF 1t melted as
10 fell, and 1t Is mot thought that
the snow was at any time a depth Of
over 4 inches on the level,
The manner in which the precipl-
tation has fallen, has been the best
possible for the country, as It has
soaked into the ground, and not run
off as 1t would had 1t came in the
shape of heavy rain.
Some erratic correspondent OF the
Dallas News, from Hereford, who
probably had no thermometer, but
guessed at the weather, sent a re-
port to his paper that the thermom-
eter registered zero, and that paper
gave the item scare head, stating
that the Panhandle had experienced
zero weather, when in no place In

The moisture has come, and there
is lots of time to plant the crops,
which are not in and long seasons to
mature them There is plenty of
time yet to SOW and grow good oat
crops. Also spring wheat, Corn and
other crops put in from now, will
sprout and grow, and there is no
reason why this section shall not
raise bumper crops this year. The
prospects for the Panhandle were

WORK FOR
CLEANER CITY
Health Officer Reports Con.
dltIOnS and Points Out Need
For Improvement

City Health officer w. w. Shirley,
presented before the city council at
tho meeting yesterday, along with the
record Of his months work, a yalu-
able report on conditions In various
parts OF the town and at the same
time pointed out the need for their
improvement, The report follows:
In presenting the record OF my
work for the month Of March, | beg
leave to report on part of work
done in April, to-wit:
In company with the chief of po-
lice ! inspected the business part Of
the city on Polk, Taylor, Fourth and
Fifth street, also the Bowery dis
trlct and boarding houses, hotels,
etc, in that vicinity and find on
several premises very unsanltary con-
ditionsS All parties we're given no.
tIce to clean up and to hereafter
keep their premises In a sanitary
condition. Report OF progress will
be made later
Adverse Conditions.
We found several places along
Polk street where no connection has
been made with the sewer and the
premises were in bad sanitary con-
dition, In the Bowery district there
also a few places that should be con-
nected with the sewer. In a number
OF places we found the alley-ways
in a bad condition from filth and
trash and | would suggest that the
chief Of police be instructed to use
the city teams and clean up all such
places as cannot be traced directly
to property owners or occupants of
property adjacent to said filth and
trash; and would further suggest
that you enact such laws as are nee
essary to compel the people engaged
IN business in this city to provide
garbage can to be placed in front
OF their places Of business to be used
for such waste and trash as is us
ually swept from the stores into the
streets and thereby abate a nuisance
that is both unsightly and unsani-
tary. In the rear Of many places
of business we found great piles of
paper and excelsior that form a me-
mace to the business district on ac-
count of fire, and It might be well
to instruct the chief OF police to see
that the law in regard to this matter
is enforced.
Recommends Board of Health.
| would further suggest and re-
quest that you appoint a board of
health to cooperate with the city
physician in enforcing the laws Of
sanitation and such other matters as
are OF vital importance to the peo-
pie Of this city.
1t is a fact that for considerable
number of years this city has during
the summer months had an epidemic
of typhoid fever, and owing to GER
tain conditions at present there eX-
lists a menace to the health Of our
citizens, and, in as much as we have
SO recently grown from hamlet to
a city and the duties Of the city
physician so greatly increased that he
alone cannot assume and see that
