Mr.. Plank at Riverside inn. what In

suddenly" ..
"A business telegram. | might have
come down with you and Sylvia If I
had known. Is Plank dining with you
alone?'
II haven't seen him." smiled Leila
evasiyely. "He will tell us his plans
of course when he comes"
"Oh" said Quarter, dropping his
eyes and glancing furtively toward the
curtained windows. At the instant a
hanson drove up. Sylvia sprang out,
ran lightly up the low stVs, and the
silent, shrouded house rang with the
clamor Of the bell.
Leila looked curiously at Quarter,
who sat motionless, head partly avert
ed, as though listening to something
heard by him alone. He believed per-
haps that he was listening to the voice
of fate again, and it may have been
so, for already for the third time all
his plans were changing to suit this
new ally Of his-this miraculous fate
which was shaping matters for him
as he waited. Sylvia had started up-
stairs like fragrant whirlwind, but
her flying feet halted at Leila's con-
strained voice from the drawing room,
and she spun around and came into
the darkened room like an April breeze.

MASS MEETING AT CITY HALL
PASSES RESOLUTION TO Ac-
cEPT THE PROPOSE
TON OF THE
Union Central Railroad
There Is Proviso, Though, That the
Company Must Come Across
With Contract That Will
Be Accepted BY Commit
teeAof Citizens.

A well attended mass meeting of
Palestine and Anderson county citi-
zens, composed in large part of bust
ness men, professional men, and far
mers, assembled at the city hall at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon, to fur
Their consider the proposition of the
proposed Union Central railroad to
build to Palestine There are some
Palestine citizens who are enthusiast
tic over the proposition, and they
were the leading spirits in the meet
ing.
Mr.. F. C. Bailey, president of the
Peoples Bank and Trust company,
was called to the chair, and Judge P.
w. Brown stated the object of the
meeting. On motion Mr.. c. A. Sterne
was made secretary.
Mr.. Yancey Jones offered a resolu-
ton, accepting the proposition of the
Union Central railroad, and general
discussion followed. In the audience
it was evident there were many who
were in doubt as to the genuiness of
the proposition.
This proposed road, or its premot-
ers. want cash bonus of $4,000,
right of way through the city and
county, depot grounds, and ten acres
in or near the city for terminal pur-
poses.
Judge, Ned Morris offered substi-
tute for the original resolution, which
provided that committee of citizens
be appointed who can get face to face
with representatives of this proposed
road, and that they and the railroad
builders sign up contract, in simple,
legal, binding form, that shall not
only bind subscribers to the bonus
asked, but the railroad company as
well, that the contract may mean
something when it is signed up. Sew
eral spoke to both the original and
the substitute, and the original was
ally adopted with the substitute
tackled to it as an amendment.
The following committee was ap-
pointed to draw up and sign a con-
tpset-wish the railroad representa-
ptives:

gresham Gregg, T. B. Greenwood,

BASEBALL GAMES.
Palestine Elks VS.. Marshall EIks, July
Third and Fourth.

Manager Hyman Pearlstone of the
Elks baseball team has booked two
games with the Marshall Elks, to be
played in our city on Friday and Sat
urday, July and 4.
A strong rivalry EXISTS between
these two teams, Palestine having
won four out of the five games play
ed, so warm time may be expected,
as Marshall is out for revenge.
All of the old-time favorites will
appear in the Palestine lineup, while
Marshall will bring down a strong
team, accompanied by large crowd
of rooters.
The games will be played on Jack
son Field. instead of the Gas company
park. The admission will be % cents
and all attending will be expected to
pay, to defray the expenses of the
games.

tonic next Monday, on which occasion
the business element of San Antonio

MORE MONEY LOST.

It's bad to lose money, to be sep
arated from hard cash without an
equivalent, or hope of its return. It's
doubly bad, l reckon, to lose it via
the medium of the little spotted cards,
it's bad to lose it by lapse in judg-
ment on the nimble-footed racer, or
by reason of friends short vote;
it's bad to lose it, no matter how, by
careless self, or by shrewd opposer's
deity dealing; but worse than this,
than these, than all, is the thought
that you were too slow to catch

FIVE YEARS FOR ]. R. WALSH
FORMER CHICAGO BANKER RE-
FUSED A NEW TRIAL.
Stay Order on AppeaI--AII Points
Raised by Attorneys for Finan-
cier Are OVerruIed.

Chicago.-John r. Walsh was de-
MED q new trial by Judge A. B. Ander
son in the federal court Friday and
was sentenced to five years in the
government prison at Fort Leaven-
worth. The sentence was five years on
each count on which the president Of
the old Chicago National bank was
convicted, but it is to run concurrent
ly. All the points raised by the attor-
neys for the defense in their plea for
new trial were overruled by the
court, who, in his opinion, reviewed
at some length the events during the
trial and after the return of the YER
dict. An appeal to the upper court
is expected to stay the execution of
the sentence he now faces In making
his ruling Judge Anderson first took
up the Palmer incident when that
juror hesitated before replying tc the
