Mr. Bryan was given a free

convention results, all told, are
satisfactory to him in every par

The platform is a good one.

Our Weed Proposition.

Few responded to the mayor ;
call TO cut the weeds on last Fri
day.
This weed matter in town is
getting to be serious. Weeds of
all kinds including many thiStles
and others Of a nOXiOuS charac-
ter are everywhere They are
in the alleys, in the cutters along
the streets and are choking up
the bitches made to carry off the
waste waters of the town. In
case Of rains, such as we com
monty have in the summer seas
on, Stagnant pools would be
formed all about and much sick
ness might be the result.
This weed proposition is get
ting so bad that it must be met
in some way. There is no law to
force the citizens to act in the
matter, SO what are we going to
do about it:
1t has been suggested that the
town COW, turned loose, is the
best solution of the matter and,
it is. The News has al
ways advocated the putting up
and keeping up Of this bovine,
but as between the two evils; I'M
weeds all over town and
Stagnant pools resulting there
from and the running loose of
the town COW, it prefers the lat /
ter every pop.

RANDALL COUNTY WHEAT.
CIassed in Fort Worth as the Best
Grain Marketed There Graded
No. | Brings S1.06.

a car of Randall county wheat
raised by Andy Beckman and P.
Friemel, shipped to Fort Worth
by W. H. Hicks Of Canyon City
last week is spoken Of by the
Fort Worth Record as follows:
"Classed as the best grain
marketed in Fort Worth in many
years, and declared the equal of
the product Of any wheat belt in
America, car Of upper Panhan-
die wheat from Canyon City, was
bought Wednesday by the Med
lin Milling company for the fancy
figure Of S1.06 per bushel deliv-
cred. The wheat was graded as
No. hard and dry, weighing 81
pounds to the bushel, an extra
good showing. 1t was Of thin
brand, almost perfect berries,
and in the cream Of condition.
1t is the best wheat | have
seen in Fort Worth in several
years-doubtless the best | have
ever seen, declaredF. VI. Rogers.
president of the Board of Trade
and manager of the Medlin mills.
Owing to its fine quality we were
glad to buy it, even at the S106
figure, which is several hundred
points above the prevailing mar
ket price.
Coming from the far upper
Panhandle regions, it proves that |
that section Of Texas has great |
future as a grain producing To- |
cality. 1t is by far the best car
ever brought to Fort Worth from |
the Panhandle. and prospects are
that it viii not be the last high |
grade grain brought here from
that wonderful country"
j. T. Robinson, chief inspect
or Of the Board of Trade grain
bureau, who has seen service all
over the country, and is recog-
nlzed as an expert in grading,
says that the wheat from Canyon
City equals any that he ever in
spected. 1t would pass muster
on any market as exceptionally ;
fine, he says.
The Panhandle grain move
ment is now on in full blast. MANY
cars being shipped out daily.

paper at Memphis, Texas. In

it is to supply this need that the

"A band of robbers were at work
In the southern part of Marion county
night. A gang consisting of
five men were thrown off a Hooking
Valley freight train at Radnor. the
brakeman having considered them
suspicious characters. They were lat
er driven away from the interurban
station, where they were trying TO
beg money.
AFTER leaving Radnor the party
started towards Prospect. The men
were seen near the home of John
Thomas, who resides three miles south
of Prospect and less than an hour
later it was reported that his home
had been broken into and money and
clothing stolen.
The quintet appeared at the home
of William Reynolds later and asked
for the privilege of sleeping in the
barn. Mrs. Reynolds was at home
alone and was not a little frightened
by their appearance. Mr.. Reynolds
returned home about II o'clock and
taking his revolver drove them from
the barn. A posse started out early

miscreants but were unable TO Sc

RESTORED
w. E. Frye Gets Back into
Good Graces.
A MISUNDERSTANDING
Responsible for the License
Being Revoked.

Inspectors are Named for Number
of Improvements and Bunch of
Bill are Paid.

After celebrating for more than
o. X to the bills, the board OF pub
lie service finally settled down TO
business last night. The bills were
a complicated mess and not having
passed through the department under
which the work had been perfected,
1t was a tedious and lengthy task 20
unravel them.
w. e. Frye, the plumber, was pres
ent, demanding that the board give
its reason for revoking his license for
tapping public sewers. Mr.. Blum,
superintendent of sewers, at once in
formed Mr. Frye that the reason for
the action was that he had broken a
city ordinance by tapping into sewer
without permit. President Bussard
then explained the cause of the
boards action In the matter" II was
decided by the old board that in case
the plumbers persisted in breaking
the rules there would be some ex-
amples made declared the president
Mr.. Blum explained that Frye had
aEpeafeu at MS OLtlce ana asked tOf
IA permit to tap the George street
sewer. He issued the permit and at
the same time instructed the plumber
to make the tap through the alley
SO AS not to tear up the pavement and
displace the curbing. Finding that
| 1t would take nearly 100 feet more
pipe to go through the alley, Mr.
Frye made the tap through the curb
I ing, regardless of the instructions of
the sewer superintendent. The re-
ivoking of the license followed.
| G.. G. Fisher presented the case in
behalf of Mr.. Frye He declared that
he is heartily in favor of the board
enforcing the laws to the letter, but
declared this case an exception and

FINDS BEGGAR
IS AN IMP0ST0R
Food Given to Him Lands in
the Back Yard.
Small Change Which He Begs for
HIS Companions He Fakes
with Him.

A story of a how a tramp PROV
cd himself to be scoundrel and
a thief is going the rounds among
many of the housewives residing
in the southern part OF the city.
According to the good wives and
domostics who were somewhat
badly scared, a stauwart, poorly
dressed tramp visited them at their
back doors since Saturday in the
evening after 1t had become suf-
llciently dark to present any sus-
picion of his identity.
The tramp very meekly and
humbly asked for food and upon
being refused he Immediately left
without further ado. At many
homes, however, he was given
small morsel OF food, whereupon
came forth the appeal for others
OF his class OF whom he was in
position to have knowledge. The
housewife could scarcely refrain
from giving something to rid her
sell of the bold tramp and prompt
ly she seeks number of food sun
plies and bestows them upon the
uncouth tramp. The majority OF
the women, however, cannot spare
their canned goods and no doubt
have an insufficient amount Of
other supplies TO furnish the poor.
In order to rid herself of the beg.
lsar she gives him some money in
addition to the food she can
spare
Great is her surprise when she
finds either later in the evening
or the next day that all the food
supplies were left well distributed
in the rear yard. The cash which
the tramp had gained by persistent
efrontery is, however lacking and
the good house wife is soon con-
Vincad that her late caller was
an impostor.

the trouble due to a misunderstand-
ing. He said that Mr.. Frye did not
understand MIR. Blum to say that he
must not make the tap through the
curbing. MIR. w. b. Spaulding was
present and stated that when he gave
AIr. Frye the contract for the work
he did not expect him to pipe through
the alley which would have cost him
nearly $l5C more Mr.. Fisher closed
the discussion by summing up the
case. He declared that Frye had
placed the paving back in good shape,
had not damaged the curbing and had
also learned lesson through the ex-
perience and requested that the board
return the license. Upon the motion
of member Krause the license was
restored
Addison Balm, superintendent of The
parks, made a few remarks He de-
clared that he had purchased 3,425
shrubs at a cost of $l13, for use in
the city parks. He also reported
that there Is some danger of the large
shade trees in front of the Carnegie
library being cut down. He stated
that it will be entirely unnecessary
to destroy the trees, claiming that
the walks can he laid between them.
The board will look after the matter.
The board appointed John Munsel,
inspector of the South Prospect street
paving. at a salary of 50 per day. o.
w. Medlam was appointed inspector
of the Chase street sewer, while
Henry Monahan was named inspector
Iof the Leader street sewer
The board received a satisfactory
report from the inspector of the Cher
,ry street paving and the board voted
to relieve the contractors, Uncapher
and Scott, from further responsibility.
President Bussard called the
boards attention to a rumor which Is
'afl0at that G.. Breen and Murphy,
contractors are partners in business.
Breen had furnished Murphys bond
and in case there is a partnership the
board could not accept IT, Mr.. Breen
explained that there was no partner
ship whatever and the bond was ac-
icepted
Bills amounting to SS2G 96 were al
loved and he clerk authorized to is
sue orders on treasury for payment
of same.

short session. Health officer Chap
man reported one case of chicken pox
and one case of scarlet fever re-
leased, after which adjournment was
called.

From Evening News, Fall River,
Mass, Feb. q, l9OS.)
The National Biscuit Company fol-
lowing the lead OF the Steel Trust,
has encouraged It's employees to pur-
chase its stock, and of its 1900 stock
holders 2395 are employees, It appears
by the annual report dated Jan. 81.
Under a plan allowing employees to ac-
quire the preferred shares for which
they pay by installments, 1888 shares
have been secured exclusive of a very
large amount of both common and
preferred stock held by the directors,
Officers and principal managers.
Such a plan of making the men who
work for corporation its part
owners, vitality interested in its pros
perity, should have beneficial results.
How much of the success Of the Ma
tional Biscuit Company is due to this
partnership is impossible to tell, but
II IS not well to underestimate It.
The company Is ten years old, and
in the period Of its existence has in
creased its annual sales from $4,000
000 whe nit was started to nearly $42,-
0O00 in 1907. Here is an interest
Ing paragraph from the report deal
ing with this topic, which it gives us
pleasure to reproduce:
"Our inscrelse in sales Is not due
to the fact that there Is less num-
ber of rival manufacturers of biscuit
than there was in the first year of
the existence of this company. On
the contrary, the number has in
creased. We have frequently stated
that he policy OF this company was
not TO buy out competition, nor to
attempt, by a ruinous war Of prices,
to crush the same, and to that policy
we have steadfastly adhered. We
offer our goods for sale at fixed price
and upon stated terms, available to
all grocers

of running competitors hut by maxi
ing the best goods, and by extend
ing their sale by all fair means of
advertising, that is good American
policy, and one that the National Bis
cult Company has followed Everyone
