TEXAS LEADS THE WAY.

The Texas anti trust law goes to the
bottom of the private monopoly evil,
tor it says that all em pIoyes of trusts or
com bines residing in that state and all
persons in the state who sell goods
made by trusts shall be guilty of a
felony and on conviction, shall be con-
fined in the penitentiary for not less
. than two years nor more than ten
years: The attorney general of Texas
says he intends to enforce this drastic
law againsts the trusts, and he will no
doubt soon have his hands full. At
torney General Davidson is, however,
q man who does not shirk hard work.
Nor can he he intimidated Or b%ulldozed,
and dou btIess Texas will be the scene
of the most am bilious attempt made in
this country to restore competition and
to crush private monopoly.
But the antitrust bill was not the
only reform measure of the Texas leg
islature. The nine-foot bedsheet law
which adds to the comfort of travellers
is readily recalled. The two measures
were not, however, all by any means.
1t passed a law making it an offense
for any man in public Office to employ
under him any relative, unless the rela-
tionship is mere distant that second
cousin.
It orbad the drinking of any kind
of liquor on trains under any circum-
stances.
1t passed a law compelling any the
atrical manager to book any attraction
applying for an open date if the charac-
ter of the production is suitable for a
frst-class playhouse.
1t required all railroads to use cleo
trio headlights.
It passed a more rigorous Sunday
closing law for saloons, and another
Law forbidding saloons having in con-
neetion with their bars any device cal
culated to draw patronage. sueh as
billiard or pool tables.
7 II closed not only all bucketshops in
the states, but also all stock brokers'
offices.
Half-fare rates have been prohibited
as well as passes. not only for railroads,
but for street cars and telegraph and
telephone companies.
The mere possession of articles com
monty used in games of chance has
been made a criminal offense, and bet
ting on baseball games is likewise
made punishable by law.
The legislature also passed many acts
directed against corporations. It wa.
q busy reform legislature, but tn.
governor of the state regrets that it ha6
not been more in combating
the evils from which the people suffer
AL branches of the state government
favor the new reform laws, and the,
be enforced, including the anti-trus
act whichis intended to tear up mono
poly, root and branch, in the broa'
state.

International Jewish Congress.
(By special wire to THE ARaUs.)

(By special wire to THE ARGUs.)
New York, July 30.-Delegates from
all the Jewish organizations in the
United States are expected to attend
the meeting in Carnegie Hall next Oc-
tober to establish an international Jew
ish conference. 1t is proposed to call
the body the International Congress of
All-Israel. One of the advantages
urged is that the congress would be
able to act authoritatively in case of
oppression or massacre and be entitled
to recognition from the Czar of Russia
or any other ruler. International
headquarters probably will be estab-
lished in London or Paris.

Died.

At his residence in Woodville August
7th, 1907, Columbus Frederick Connick
departed this life in his seventy fifth year
of his age and leaves a devoted wife and
nine children to morun his loss:
He passed away, like a summers breeze
With scarce a parting sigh;
He passed away from this dark world
To dwell with Christ on high.
Dear husband, you are not dead to US
But hold that you are ever near,
Though death intrudes between.
How slender is life's silver cord,
How soon tits broken here;
Each moment brings parting word
And many fallen tear
F.! And though these years to mortal given
Are filled with grief and pain
THERE'S hope, the hope of Heaven
Where loved ones meet again.
A bitter cup, shock severe,
To part with one | loved so dear.
My loss is great, but I'll not complain.

A Pleasant Law Feie.

Despite the very inclement weather the
Lawn Fete given by Mrs. M. A. Turner
ssHolly Grove" her most hospitable
heme was grand success. Only twenty
attended however out of forty invite',
some being prevented from attending on
account of the rain which continued un-
til near the hour of 3 o'clock. A very
comfortably sized crowd in Lawn and
house attended and Mrs. Turner's recent
ly renovated residence never look ed
brighter than on this happy occasion. Fine
plays, merry little voices, vocal and in
strumental music filled up the hours
from to at six o'clock. A most stump
tuous refreshment table was filled with
all kinds of refreshments consisting OF
several kinds of ices, cakes, lemonade,
candies and fruits of all kinds.
Large cake in the center of the table
artistically iced by grandmother Helen
Strong on one side and Gertrude Voor-
man on the other, written 'plainly In
sugar" this seemed to please and make a
very Favorable impression on ever one
more especially Masters G. and N.
The hours seemed quite too short for
the happy little crowd, and in bidding
adieu all wanted to know when we could
have another such most delightfully."-
spent afternoon. Our highly gifted young
friend Miss Marie Fletcher Perrie who
was expected to furnish some OF her me
selections on the piano was prevented
from attending and favoring the lovers
of good music by the unfavorable condi-
ton of the weather. This was truly a
great disappointment.
