MAY MEET PIERCE
WHILE IN AUSTIN
Governor Campbell Is to Reach
His Home at Austin
Thursday.
OIL MACNATE EN- ROUTE
Plans Of Attorney for Pierce Regard
ing Indictment Have Not Leaked
Outline OF Action
Not Known.

Austin. Texas, Nov 5.-Secretary ry
Barton yesterday received telephon-
ic information to the effect that
Governor Campbell would -arrfve
here today. However, his stay will be
brief, as he will be en- route to Min
eral Wells to spend couple of
weeks recuperating. While here Gov
|ernor Campbell will probably have
something to say regarding the COM
ing of H. Clay Pierce, the Waters
Pirce Oil company magHate, whom
lit is understood is en- route to Texas
in his private car from Boston and
is coming via Kansas City. Mr.. Pierce
left Boston for Austin Sunday last
and it is believed that he will be in
Austin prior to Nov. 8, the date on
which he Is expected.
There has been no leakage here of
the plans of the Pierce attorneys re-
garding the indictment against him
and false swearing and what line of
action is contemplated is unknown
here.
The return of Governor Campbell
to the city is taken to mean the anti
cipated arrival also of Mr.. Pierce,
and since the oil magnate left Bos-
ton Sunday, there is reason to be-
lieve that Governor Campbell and
Mr. Pierce will meet tomorrow

souri,.
The late returns indicate that
Maryland, after vacillating during
the day and being apparently safe
for the democrats, has been swung
into the Taft column by 1876 votes.

doubtful states to be heard from. In
diana and West Virginia as we'll as
Montana turned out to be lately re-

JEALOUS HUSBAND
KILLS HIS BRIDE
David Laughlins Deed Strs the
Haskell County People
to Anger.
UNDER A SPECIAL GUARD
Laughlin Claims That He Thought
His Cirl-Wife Intended to Do
Him lnjury-Placed
in Jail

Haskell, Texas, Nov Charged
with killing his 18-year-old wife, to
whom he had been married but two
weeks, David Laughlin, 20 years of
age, living near Sagertown, sixteen
miles west of Haskell, was brought
here Tuesday night and placed in
jail.
From the details of the killing
that have been received here, it ap-
pears that Laughlin killed his wife
with an ak and later attempted self
destruction. He says he killed his
wife because he thought she intend
ed to poison him, but the authorities
are of the opinion that jealousy
prompted the deed.
Only meager details of the killing
have been received and they are to
the effect that Laughlin came upon
his wife at the woodpi1e near their
home, and picking up an AK, struck
her with it, killing her almost in
stantly.
Constable Frank arrested Laugh
lin and brought him here, where he
was lodged in jail
1t is reported that the citizens in
the FiCiHlly Oh OdscTlOWu are very
much wrought up over the deed and
might attempt to lynch Laughlin.
and in order to prevent mob violence
a special guard was placed ON duty
at the jail.
Mrs. Laughlin was before her mar
riage two weeks ago Miss Ophelia
Gibson.
A complaint charging Laughlin
with the murder of his wife has been
filed and he will be given an exam
lining trial next Monday.

Nowhere else in the country, it is
said, are there so many fireproof

CAT TAKES A RAILWAY TRIP.
Rides Until Put Of and Then Jumps
Train and Returns

Shelbyville, Ind, Nov 5.--Bob
the old cat which has been "hangin
round the local Big Four freight
office for the last three years, disap-
peared and after a search he was
given up as dead.
When one of the trains left here
Bob was passenger, having jumped
into one of the coaches. On arriving
at indianapolis, the brakeman on the
train pushed the cat out into the
sheds
Three days later the express mes
senger on a train from Indianapolis
heard the NEW of a cat, and look
ing behind a box saw Bob.

jumped out of the express car and
started for the freight
station, where he has again taken up

have been reported in the congress
sional returns. The republicans will
have about the same majority in the
sixty-frst congress as at present,
and Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois un-
doubtedly will succeed himself as
speaker. Representatives Jesse Over
street of Indiana and Hepburn of
Iowa are the most conspicuous
among those who have failed for re-
election.
The senate retains its republican
complexion although there will be a
material change In the personnel of
the upper body of the national legis-
lature.
National Chairman Norman T..
Mack of the democratic party issued
statement in which he declared
that he does not believe Mr. Bryan
will again be candidate for the
presidency. He said he believed that
the Nebraskan might be a candidate
for the United States senate in 1911,
provided the legislature of his state
is democratic in that year, when the
first vacancy will occur.
The latest returns indicate that in
the national house of representa-
tives the republicans will have 2OS
members and the democrats 172
with II districts missing.
Judge Taft's plurality in the state
of New York, according to corrected
returns late last night was 203, 495
more than $4,000 in excess of
President Roosevelt's plurality four

Don't Wink Your Hat.

Never use whlsk broom to clean a
hat either stiff or soft, particularly
q soft hat. as It gradually removes the
fine surface originally on the hat. The
worst effect, however, ls the wearing

rough usage. The effect Is more
quickly shown on the best grades OF

The Primitive Violin.

In its primitive form the violin was
a direct development Of the Tyre ana
monochord-the strings from the for
mer and the elongated box, WIN us
sound holes. finger board and movabie
bridge. from the latter. The history
Of the Violin began with the invention
OF the bow some time before the thlr'
teenth century. when the wolfe. or vielle'
used by the troubadours, made Its APP
nearance. This instrument underwent
many changes until the middle OF the
sixteenth century, when the true vioiln
model appeared The primitive violin
had little or no contour. 1t was mol
until the thirteenth century that the
vielle was scooped out at the waist
The corner blocks were added In the
fifteenth century and are attributed
TO Germany. For nearly q century
the sound holes were shifted all over
