BrOoding over an accident in
i'm which his fireman was killed and
holding himself to blame for the
same, John Bonovitch, of Kingston,
one of the best known engineers on
the ID. l.. and w. railroad, was com
mitted to the insane asylum at Dan
vile. Bonavitch had charge of a
switching engine in the yards at
Washington n. j., about month
ago his engine collided with another
engine in the yards, and in the
wreck which resulted James Hnll of
Newton, New Jersey, who was
Bonaviche's fireman was so badly in
ured that he died the next day.
The accident and especially the
death of his fireman, so preyed upon
the mind of the engineer that he
fed from Washington and nothing
was heard of him for three weeks or
until week ago he appeared at his
home raving maniac.

All we ask of individuals or corpora
lions is obedience to law and respect
for the rights of the masses. 1t seems
to me that honest and patriotic bust
ness men ought to consider some
question as to whether or not they
will get more money by the election
of one candidate than that of another.
Like other good citizens, they should
pause now and then, consider what
policy will best promote the welfare
and honor of the country and what is
most likely to injure the perpetuity of
our Institutions Should the fact that
a candidate for the presidency is re-
garded by the mas SO honest as to be
incapable of violating his platform

PEOPLE ARE LEARNING.

Many up-to-date people, who appre-
ciate the difference between quality
and minus, are learning that Palestine
offers market that cannot be sur
passed in Texas, and with much
cheaper railroad fare in the cost to
people in this section. In former
years, and not so very many years at
that, even our home people thought it
was necessary to go away from home
to get stylish suits and costumes, and
ready-made garments of quality, but
this is not true any more for the local
shops carry as complete lines as can
be found in any city in the state. In
stead of our home people going away
for tailor suits and evening costumes,
others are coming in from other towns
and the country and buying here. 1t
is healthy change, and brings many
dollars into trade circles here that
formerly went away. Another change
has impressed those who have kept
al eye Ou anu ludt Is lhdl
more and more people are coming to
demand quality rather than quantity.
So many yards of this or that for
such and such price does not appeal
to the up-to-date man or woman now
as it did in the old days, but it is
now a question of whether or not the
article is of the right quality and the
right style. This change has given us
a better dressed citizenship and has
led to better class of stores and
more satisfaction in store keeping.
The man or woman who knows what
he or she wants is more desirable
customer in every way than the one
who haggles over purchase. If you
want up-to-date goods you can do no
better than spend your money with
the merchants who are ready to make
good if the merchandise does not
come up to recommendations. Come
to Palestine and get fitted out. Read

year ending last March, the number
of detected attempts to smuggle duti-
able goods during the past year was
the largest recorded since 1895. The
quantities of tobacco, cigars and spir-
its seized were less than in the pre-
ceding year, but there was a consider
able increase in the number of seiz-
ures and of persons fined, says Home
Chat. No fewer than 3,104 persons
were fined for smuggling, and the pen
alties recovered amounted to $21, 800.

A Russian firm which manufactures
optical goods has just completed an
order for 10000 pairs of glasses to be
worn by COWS. These spectacles are
necessary because the steppes, the
great Russian pralries, are covered
with snow for six months in the year.
but during part Of the time delicate
fresh grass tips protrude from the
white and dazzling mantle. The COWS
then are turned out to feed on the
new grass, but If their eyes are un-
protected from the dazzle of sunshine

blindness. Hundreds have died from
this cause; but a rude, cheap kind of
spectacles, made of leather and

has been used with great success.

TAFT COMMITTEE WINS.
Declared the Valid Organization in
cuyahoga County, o.

Columbus, O., Feb. 12-The SUI
preme court has declared that the
Roadway committee of Cuyahoga coun.
ty, which is controlled by the sup
porters of Secretary Taft, is the valid
county organization in that county.
The committee which was sustained
by the supreme court previously had
been declared regular by the Repub
lican state central committee, by the
secretary of state and by two of the
lower courts. The friends of Sen.
ator Foraker contended, however,
that the board of elections had final
authority by implication to decide
which was the rightful committee and
that it had recognized the Harvey or
Foraker committee; that later the
board, under direction from the sec
retary of state and not because 1t had
altered its opinion, recognized the
Taft committee. They accordingly
asked that the board be enjoined
from exercising its executive power
contrary to the way in which ii had
exercised it's judicial functions.
The supreme court, in affirming de-
cisions given previously by the circuit
court and common pleas court of Cuya.
hoga county, declared that the board
of election II without authority TO ig-
more the committee recognized by the
state central committee and that the
committee 1t named must be accepted.
