(From TUESDAYS paIlyl

Dispatches from Washington give
the news that the bill introduced In
The House by Congressman John H.
stephens OF this district, has been
favorably reported by the judiciary
committee. It will now be put on
the calendar OF the House and will
be acted upon in order.

not been reported Il will not be
necessary, however, to get federal
building In order to house the fed
eral court and the court will be es-
tabllshed here this year II the court

and postofflce purposes will be
within a few years at most Anna.
rillo citizens would, OF course like to
secure the appropriation now, but
the fact that the steady growth Of
Amarillo will increase her needs and
will be the means of finally getting
larger appropriation should furnish
fair compensation for doing without

The New Courthouse.

The advisory committee appointed
by the Commercial club to assist the
county commissioners met with two
of the commissioners Monday and
decided TO recommend building OF
brick trimmed with Jacksboro stone,
or something as good, with two sto-
rles above the basement and rooted
perhaps with asbestos shingles. SEN
timent seemed TO favor building
as nearly square as practicable and
all agreed that there should be four
entrances, the heat to be either
steam or hot water. The committee
also recommended that the full S53,.
600 should be used in the building
alone, furnishings, architects fees
and improvements OF the ground to
be met from other sources than the
price OF bonds.--Canyon City News.

new YORKER KILLS
EAGLE IN CANYON

While visiting Horse Shoe falls
yesterday, a picturesque spot about
three miles below Dreamland falls
in Palo Duro canyon, Il monster bald
eagle was killed by one of the party.
From the description furnished by
Mr. Dickinson, who accompanied the
explorers int the famous gorge, II
Is evident that his eaglets was one
OF the largest ever killed in the Pan
handle.
Speaking Of the trip, Mr.. Dickin-
son said; The party was made up
of l.. L, Esstlsnd, of Brownsville,
Tenn, Mr. John Hall Mckay of New
York city, and myself While sitting
on a huge boulder eating lunch, Mr.
Mckay discovered an immense eagle
circllng around above our heads
some 200 feet or more. Quick as a
flash, the young New Yorker grab
bed shotgun that lay nearby and
brought tho grand old bird to the
ground 1t was soon discovered
however, that only one wing was
broken, and Mr., Eastland, who
reached him first, narrowly escaped
serious injury. The eagle MADE
fight, and tho way the three mon
"scrappcd" the bird was a sight ncv-
er to be forgotten. In the melee Mr.
Mckay received a scratch on the left
hand, but 1t was not serious,
The eagle measured nearly seven
feet, from tin to tip, and weighed
about twenty pounds He appeared
to be an old one, OF the kind known
as the Bald Eagle of the Rockies
His claws were shipped to New York
city this morning by Mr. Mckay
and 1t Is safe TO say that eastern
newspapers will give glowing de-
scriptlon OF the furious battle the
wealthy New Yorker had with an
eagle thousand feet beneath the
level plains in the famous Palo Du'
70 canyon, the site OF the proposed
national park.

DEMAND ron REAL ESTATE.


We learn from real estate men
that the want for city property has
revived to a great extent during the
past few weeks, Lumber yards are
selling materials Almost daily for
new Amarillo homes. one yard yes
tcrday sold four residence bills.
II Is but natural that activity In
real estate and building should re-
sumo In Amarillo. There has never
been any real cause for It's discon-
tinuance, The recent panic served
as scare, but Il was not real
cause TO bring on hard times, bust
ness depression or lull In the clty's
growth.
Amarillo real estate Is staple, Val
ues are not high, but reasonably
low, During the few months OF u
threatened money panic not case
has been reported OF sacrifice Of
piece Of Amarillo property. Peo-
pie know their property is worth
what they paid aud as much more as
he market has advanced. They
were .shrewd enough not to sacri-
lice property and they are TO be con-
graduated on their good sense,
Within the next ninety days nor
nal conditions will once more pre-
jail in Amarillo and the home1buld-
ing campaign will be on more strong
and more determined than ever.

Bryan and the People,

The Democratic party today Is the
party OF the people, The Republic
can party is the party OF special IN
terests.
A striking instance OF this Is shown
by the uncertainty which character
ICES the one party in It's choice OF a
leader, and the certainty when
charactcrizes the other The inter
ests, as 1t Is written, are double
minded and unstable In all their
ways" But there Is no doubt as to
whom the people want The people
are true-hearted and direct
As the time approaches for the
1905 campaign, while the Republl-
cans seem 20 be very undecided with
Taft, Hughes, Fairbanks, Foraker,
and others in the field, it Is note
worthy that the Democratic party is
united on William Jennings Bryan,
Even the politicians who were in
clined to be opposed to him have
come to concede the certainty OF his
nomination and the probability Of
his election.
Now, Bryan was nominated in
1896 and defeated, lie was nominal
ed again in 1900, and again defeated
In 1904, at the ST, Louis convention,
the majority of the convention was
opposed 10 his counsel, although he
himself was not candidate,
How Is It that man twice defeat
cd at the last convention of his party
ed at the las convention of his party
Is now unanimously hailed as the
Joshua who shall lead 1t out OF the
wilderness into the promised land?
Time At last sets all things even, -
wrote great poet. Time has vindi-
Gated Bryan. II has shown that he
is a great American statesman, CO.
lossal figure, magnificent in char
acter and intellect, the admiration Of
our age that has fortunately come to
recognize his greatness while he is
yet alive. without waiting until his
death to build a monument to his
memory.
Time has shown that Bryan Is the
stalwart champion Of the rights Of
the people, fighting corruption in
high places with tongue and pen and
wicked alliances between Wall street
and Washington.
Time has shown that the people
have always stood behind Bryan, that
in 1906, when he was defeated, aC-
cordlng TO the elections returns, and
again in 1900, colossal corrupt cam
paign funds were raised by the trusts
and used to defeat him.
Again in 1908 the American peo-
pie will express their will at the polls
that Bryan be the president OF the
United States.

party he true to their trust and sec

CROWDED TO
THE LIMIT
TWsnD-SsVsn Teachers In City
Schools 10 Meet Demands Of
Increased Enrolment

teacher who has been elected TO a
place on the faculty OF the city
schools, the number OF teachers emu
ployed including the superintendent
now reaches twenty-seven. Every
one OF these teachers has all the
work that can be satisfactorily ham
died and some OF the rooms are stll
above normal average In enroll
ment.
All Available Room IN Use.
The greatest difficulty now, how
ever. Is TO find places for the teach
ers. Every bit Of half way available
room In the buildings, including the
principals office and the attic In
the third floor OF the Polk street
building and the superintendent Of
flee and the auditorium In tho High
School building are now used for
classes. Both OF the frame buildings
moved to the Polk street grounds for
temporary service, have been In use
all the year. II Is not likely that
increase in enrolment during the
remainder OF the year will make any
further additions to the teaching
force necessary but additional teach
crs are certain to be needed next
fall when the schools open for the
session OF 19OS-l9O9, Under such
conditions, II Is natural that Super
intendent Foster and the teachers
are especially anxious that the bond
issue asked by the school board be
authorized in the election which is
to be held in February.
Bonds May Keep Down Taxes.
Since the buildings are crowded to
the limit now the new bond issue
will not only not increase the pres
ent rate OF taxes but may be the
mains Of making an increase unnec-
essary. II the bonds are not voted
and additional permanent buildings
are not erected before the next
school year, II Will be absolutely nee
essary for the board to make tenn
porary provision for the increase IN
enrolment by purchasing or building
frame structures for temporary use.
Funds for this class OF buildings
would have TO DO taken out OF the
taxes for the year and would make
such an inroad upon them that the
tax levying might have to be increas-
cd TO provide funds to continue the
schools the desired length OF time.
Gould Eeasily Meet Interest Charge.
on the other hand, the amount
required annually TO pay the interest
and sinking fund on the issue of
bonds now asked by the board would
be a much smaller demand and with
the steady rise in property valuations
the district would have no difficulty
In meeting this annual charge with
out an Increase in the present taxes.
Whether the taxes could be reduced
TO any appreciable extent in the next
few years Is doubtful because the
steady growth Of the city makes de-
mands for new capital every year.
and the present Issue OF bonds for
permanent improvements is not like
~ TO be the last.

LOCKED IN
THE STATION
Passengers Waiting for Morn
Ing Trains Spent Night In
Denver Depot
(Trom tuesdays Dally)

Locked In the dingy ana stully
waiting rooms OF the union station
from $3.50 I'LL this morning, unable
TO get out of the building II they
wished and unable to let then
'rlends or relatives in, such are some
Of the counts In the indictments
which several lrate people have been
making today. one OF the men who
was vitality Interested In the episode
was d. W, Elliott. an attorney OF
Roswell, and the experience has
made such a definite impression up
on him that he will lead in an effort
to bring about very material
change in the Denver's manner of
doing business at this station.
New schedule Made Trouble
Under the new Denver schedule
the morning southbound now reaches
Amarillo at 3:3O instead OF $3.50 as
has been the case heretofore. Last
night II seems that a number OF pas
sengers from this train stopped over
here on their way to other points,
and these had intended to wait in
the station FOR the morning trains on
the Rock Island or the Pecos Valley.
Under the old schedule they would
have had but short time to wait
and they had made their plans ac-
cordingly, But last night when they
arrived here they found that instead
OF simply having time TO eat break
fast and catch trains for their destl-
nations that they would be Obliged
TO walt from four TO six hours for
their trains. Some of these passen-
gers went to hotel but others, in
GLIDING a number of married women
travelling alone with their children,
were undecided about the matter
and were waiting in the station.
Locked After $3.50.
But the arrangements at the Of
flee under the new schedule do not
provide for the three hours after the
last train and the depot men came
around and told the passengers that
they would have to 80 II they wished
TO leave the station at ALL because
the building had to be locked up. A
few more Of the passengers left but
most of the women and children re-
NAMED in the station, Then the de-
pot men left and locked the doors.
Unable TO Get Back in.
Not only were the people on the
inside unable TO get out then, but
some OF the male members of the
families who were travelling and who
had gone out 10 look over the situa-
ton in regard to stopping over here
returned to Join their familles--and
found themselves locked out. SO the
people on the Inside had to make the
best Of the limited accommodations
afforded by the station. There are
two water closets in the station. but
one OF these, the mems according to
some of the passengers, was locked
last night.
Just how far the company may be
held guilty under the indictment
made by these passengers, must de-
pend on circumstances which the
company management will probably
be able to explain, But the matter
will be taken up and thoroughly In
vestigated and II there are any fair
means by which such occurrences
may be avoided in the future, the
road will be very much encouraged
to use them.

NEW RAVENS FAULT City Is Well Represented in Na- tional Game If Men Will
 Get Together. TEAM WORK IS LACKING For Some Unknown Reason Club Falls Absolutely to Play Consistent
 Inside Ball.

What is the matter with the New Haven Baseball club? This is the question that possibly some seventy five thousand people in their own town are asking to-day and probably double this number throughout the state. George Bone has @ club in the Elm City which is paid probably the larg- est salary of any In the circuit. the figures being something over $2,700. On the team are former stars in the Eastsern league and well known ball players of Class B in the association of the professional game. Fitted against them of course are in- dividual men of possibly equal skill in the national game, but as a team 1t Is doubtful If there is club in the league that boasts of so many in- dividual stars. In addition the man. agement has the most competent pitching staff, not excepting Dowd's much heralded force. and backstop in many particulars as strong as there i is in the east. With this to work on-and 1t has been stated as above by no less an authority than. Dan Brothers, who has looked over the timber on three different occasions, let us go to the bottom of the game of ball. Like its sister sport, football, the game must be played scientifically. In the fall when the knights of thol gridiron are getting their preliminary practice perhaps the first thing thatl is hammered into them is the idea of team work Every man in every playI is the cry and the same Is true In, baseball. Not in the same way forI signals are given aloud by the quarter- back-yet for the same purpose.
 The youngster In school learns to bunt and gradually if he shows hirn-l self natural ball tosser for his years grows up to the various scientific play in our national game. Thus the of- fensive game is more generally known than Is the defensive. In college or semi-professional ball the sacrifice and hit and run game are commonly In use. A man must learn to dump ball down and to go across the plate for wide throw In the hit and run play. This all professional ball players arc supposed to debut do they always carry 1t out?
 In word team work is what is needed. The outfielders do not switch with the pitchers curves md so on ad infinitum. The players themselves know this and for some unknown rea- son fail to come up to their know. ledge. In Manager Bone the locals have got man who is in ,he game to win. who cusses only when they make mistakes which they kn DIV are such and then only for their pest interests.
