BIG BUSINESS
Saturday was a Red Letter Day in
Bryan


Bryan
Saturday was perhaps the best da,
OF the year in trade circles in thi,
city. The streets we're crowded will
teams from the country from early #
the morning until the middle of tn,
afternoon, and every wagon leaving
town, IL seemed, went out loaded with
parcels. The sidewalks were packed
and jammed with people until showing
and shouldering was necessary to
make progress through the crowd
The numbers in the city reached the
maximum In the afternoon when the
trains from the south arrived bringing
people from Millican, Wellborn, Col
lege and other points. Every merchant
In town did large business. but per
haps the biggest crowd was to be
found at Coulter's, where exceptional.
ly low prices had been made on some
lines OF standard goods. Here had
been placed on sale outings, mill ends
and calicoes ranging all the way in
price from to cents yard that
ordinarily sell considerably above
that figure, and when The Eagle man
looked through the store Saturday
night there was hardly enough of
these goods remaining to make fair
sized package.
Just after the arrival of the train
from the south bringing the College
crowd, it looked as though the Zine
was being rushed" up in the clothing
department, when the students decid.
ed to buy their clothes. Mr.. Coulter
sold thirty-two suits of clothes in a
very short time. He has yet a fairly
large number of the 81. so and SO. so
trousers, the kind that usually sch for
20, and these will be disposed OF at
those figures as long as any remain
In stock. Saturday was a big day
and 1t shows up well for Bryan and her
progressive merchants, that people
can be attracted from long distances
to do their trading here. There is no
question that Bryan merchants have
the goods and make prices that get
the trade. i''

Buckuroo Jack, the Indian murderer
sentenced to hang at the state prison
on next Friday noon. may be re-
prieved and confined for the remain
der of his days in the state prison.
A special meeting of the state board
of pardons has been called for Thurs
day, the day before the execution, and
ut that time his case will he consid-
cred and final action taken. IL is
rumored that several members of tho
board of pardons oppose the hanging
of the Indian and the likelihood is
that the sentence of death will he
committed to life imprisonment by
the board. In spite of this Warden
Maxwell is making all the necessary
preparations TO carry out the mandate
of the law on next Friday i'm case

The principal ground for the com
mutation of the sentence to life i'm.

the laws Of Nevada. Buckuroo Jack
shot his wife to death in cold blood,

other Indians in the ncighiorhuo1
where they lived, near Wimnemuccu.

GREATEST PANIC EVER KNOWN

The panic which began last fall is
the greatest panic the world has ever
known. This is a strong statement,
but I mean it. We are not over it yet.
Politics was the cause of this panic.

been dominated by trusts and big cor.
porations in the interests Of the rcpub
lican party"
Nathan Strauss, who delivered the
above, is one Of the greatest merchants
New York now boasts of, and in recent
addresses. where he was chief speaker,
he made the above statements.
No words or comment on the above is
necessary. The mad pride of Roosevelt
and the terror that followed has been
burned too deeply in the minds Of the
American people to leave room for
argument.
But there can be 10 such thing rs
II panic under republican rule. That
party has not yet gotten over or present
ed un argument which would justify
the panic Of last year. II never will
and never can, only by II frank avowal
that the panic ame when ii was not

most widespread and disastrous known
in the history Of free America. But
there will come a reckoning some day.
and the people will get what is coming
to them. The fact is notorious that the
trusts and big corporations have for
years past controlled legislation in tho
