since resided. He was one of the
largest farmers in this part of the
state fer several years, farming over
seventeen hundred acres of land. Mr..

Maurice Nelson, Roustabo'ut at at
the Warrington, Arrested
~ on Serious Charge:
Confessed. to .Thefts Of Several
Checs>From Letters Mailed :. !.
From the Hotel.

Maurice Nelson, VINO nad Ooen
empoyed as ohore boy at the Hotel
Worthiugton bout two weeks, was
arrested late Thursday night Of last
week on charge, Of rifling letters
mailed from the hotel. e.
1t haslong besn custom to re-
ceive mailat the hotel, to be mailed
either at the postoftice OF on the
trains, according to the time Of day
received. 1t was one Of the duties
of. the chore boy to take the
letters down to the night trains to
mail them. Guests of the hotel
as we'll as many local business
people have been in the habit of
mailing letters this way, many of
them containing checks.
Young Nelson conceived the
brilliant idea Of going through the
letters and taking out the checks,
drafts and money where the same
was eto be found. His detection
was largely accidental. He en-
deavored through y confederate to
cash a check drawn by the Bilt-
gen & Stehens, for something over
81, at Charlie Won's laundry.
Charlie reported the circumstance
to the marshal, who at once took
Nelson in custody. Before going to
the county Jail, where he was turn
ed over to sheriff Fauskee, Nelson
asked to be permitted to go into the
basement of the hotel to fix the
furnace fire. While there he de-
.stroyed ~ several incriminating
letters and checks. abnt overlooked
one which was found IN his clothes
when he was searched at the Jail.
Nelson has made a confession to
the sheriff, relating fully his oper-
tions. He implicated others in his
crime, but this is believed to have
been done to help h1s own case. AS
the letters had. not been mailed
when rifled, the case will not come
under the jurisdiction of the FEEDER
al Government but will be prose-
outed by. the state. The young
man comes of family of unsavory
reputation. His brother was ar
rested near Brewster about a year
go on charge of forging school
orders. Nelson will have his hear
ing today.

While this does not more than

idea of the rich treat in store for
the patrons of the WOrthington

program, we are assured, will be
equally good. Many more people
are planning to come here to camp
this year and applications for lots
will be coming in soon.
Another feature that is lready

THOUSANDS OF ACRES OF RICE.

WEBSTER, Tex, Aug 25.-rexas
has some 500 Japanese within her Dor
ders and is glad to have them. They
own many thousands of acres of rice,
and have introduced their native meth
DDS of cultivation with the result that
they make large profits from their
crops. The principal colonies are at
Deepwater, Webster, Wharton and
Victoria, and several Japanese rice
farmers are also located along the line
of the Southern Pacific between Hous-
ton and Beaumont.
The rice harvesting season is now
in progress and the scene in the Jap
anese colonies is an animated one from
morning until evening. All the Jap
anese farmers in the colony join forces
and help thresh the crops on the diff
ferent farms.
A noticeable thing about the Japa-
nese in Texas is that they never lose
sight of their patriotism The Japa,
nese flag occupies a position of honor
upon every farm. 1t may be seen fly

the work is in progress. 1t is fire.

The older colonies have succeeded
so well that the establishments o.

anese bought thousands of acres OF
land near Wharton last spring and
established a colony of SO Japanese
thereon. They rapidly developed the
virgin land into the most attractive
rice farms in the State. They were
amply supplied with money to carry
out their plans, and extensive improve
ments haxe been made, including an
up-to-date system of irrigating canals
and bitches, comfortable residences

industrious and law-abading ways
won for them the respect of the sec

Resolutions Adopted By St. Pauls

Just before the close of the exercises
in st. Pauls Methodist Episcopal Sun
day school on last Sabbath the following
resolutions were read and unanimously
adopted:
WHEREAS, By the decree of our ALL
wise and Divine Heavenly Father, Cath
| arine TOWnshend-Crane once a pupil,
and then teacher in St. Paul's Meth
odist Episcopal Sunday school of Oak
| land, has been called to the reward of
the finally faithful; and
| WHEREAS, From her earliest child
| hood she was member of this Sunday
| school and through the ministrations Of
the Gospel of this church in the wear
1872 was converted, and entered upon
the enjoyment of christian life and
continued in the faith, showing by her
walk and conversation from that time
/ forward that she was child of God,
| shedding upon those about her the same
influences of the Spirit which so fully
| dominated and controlled her life. and
when in the year 1891, after the COM
| pletion of this present church edifice.
took charge of the infant department
of this Sunday school where for twelve
consecutive years she moulded and
| shaped the christian training of the
little ones, many of whom are now
standing in the front ranks of the
church and by her teaching and exam
| pie was instrumental in leading many of
them to the foot of the Cross, and con-
tinued during all the years of her resi-
dence in Oakland to lend helping hand
to advance the Sunday school and the
cause of Christ; therefore be it
Resolved, By st. Paul's Methodist
Episcopal Sunday school of Oakland
That in the death of Mrs. Catharine
| ToHnshend-Crane we recognize the Wis
| itation of Providence, to which we bow
with a submissive spirit, knowing that
our loss is her eternal gain, and that
she has joined that Sunday school
above, where a countless multitude sur
rounds the Throne, singing praises to
the Lamb; and be it further
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
Sunday school that her work among us
was Of inestimable value and its effect
far reaching, beyond our power to dis
Germ, but rightly valued and credited to
her in Heaven: and be it further
Resolved, That we commend her fam
| lily to the care and love of God. who
doeth all things well, and who will help
them to bear their grief in this present
time, looking to the reunion beyond the

: Mrs. r. B. Ward received a message
on Tuesday morning conveying the sad
| intelligence of the sudden death of her
mother, Mrs. Metcalf, who died the
evening previous at the home of DIR.
Wards brother in Chillicothe, Ohio,
where the deceased lady was visiting at
the time. Mrs. Ward left Oakland
Tuesday evening for Bellaire, Ohio,
Mrs. Metcalf's home, to which point
the remains were conveyed and where
the funeral will take place today. DR..
Ward went to Bellaire yesterday morn
ing. Mrs. Metcalf was we'll known in
Oakland, having made her home here
with her daughter several years ago.
The man who makes money in a COM
munity has duty to perform to that
community 1t may be that he has
made his money by his superior bust
ness ability, and that he would have
done as well anywhere. That does not
alter the case. If his gifts are great
his responsibility is equally as great.
No man was placed on earth for the
sole purpose of making money, and the
man who has this as his ideal had bet
ter never have been born. 1t is not an
act of charity, but the performance Of
simple duty for the man who has made
money to pass little of it on for the
benefit of the community, even though
ne never expects to see a dollar of his
contribution back.
In every city there are movements
which call for the expenditure of
money. Some of these are of a dis
tinctly public character, and are paid
for through taxation. Others are of a
semipublic character, and for them the
funds must be raised by voluntary con-
tributions. These must come from the
men who are doing the business of the
place and who have the money. There
is no other way. The man who has the
money is the man who must pay the
bills, if they are to be paid. Most en-
terprises of public nature which have
for their object the lettering of condi-
tons, business and otherwise, in city
will, directly or indirectly, return more
than the money expended to those who
pay it.
