RAISING THE FLAG.

II remember distinctly some of the
features of the celebration as it was
given. The first detachment of the
First regiment took part in the flag
raising ceremony which annexed the
Islands to the United States. Admiral
Miller raised the flag amid a gorgeous
military and civic display. The mem
bers of the First regiment were given
a campaign ground on a race track and
the whole town turned out to do the
troops honor. The houses of the resi-
dents were thrown open to the men
and the officers were most elaborately
entertained. There were concerts in
the parks, dances, receptions and
banquets and everything was done to
make the visitors at home at once.
Speaking of the band concerts, the
same band which played for the At
bany boys played for the sailors. l
remember that the leader composed a
song which the band played called
"My Honolulu Lady," which was dedi-
Gated to the First regiment. The piece
was very popular and was played in
Albany upon the night the troops re-
turned home"
Col Davis said that the hula hula
dance had been danced for the men
upon a number Of occasions. He de-
scribed it as a native dance of won
derful agility. 1t was regarded as a
mark of nigh esteem to dance it, he
said.

LEFT ON HER DOORSTEP
FOR THIS MOTHER

Mrs. A. G. Tuson, of Livermore,
Cal, writes: II picked up from my
doorstep one day little book in
which ] soon became very much in
terested. My little girl of five years
of age had been troubled for a long
time with loss of appetite, extreme
nervousness and undue fatigue. She
was all run down and in very deli
cate condition
This little book was very COM
prehensively written, and told of the
new method of extracting the medi-
cinal elements of the Gods liver from
the OIL eliminating the obnoxious oil
which is so hard for children to take.
Just the thing, said /, for my
little daughter, and | immediately
went for bottle of Vinol. 1t helped
her wonderfully. She has gained rap
idly in flesh and strength. and she
does not take cold half SO easily.
Il am extremely grateful for the
good it has done her, and l hope
other mothers who have weak, deli
cate or ailing children will be bene-
fitted by my experience and just give
Vinol trial"
Vinol is sold in Waxahachie by
Hood & Curtin, Druggists.

AN UNSATISFACTORY SYSTEM

The Texas public has been RECALLED
or annoyed, according to the temper
of the reader. with an int<rminab1
discussion about our textbook sys-
developed the facts that some OF our
text books are Objectionable and that
the system can be greatly improved.
says the Fort Worth Star There is
lot of politics and some humhVg in
our textbook system, and where
these elements enter there is abund
ant provocation for the exercise of
patriotism and craftsmanship. For
instance, text book system that
provides method of selection that
invites partisan controversy of Bit
ter and relentless kind is distinctly
vides for a method of transition from
old books of former adoption to
new books of the most recent adop-
ton and entails loss to patrons of
the schools who are least able to
stand it, is indefensible in economy
or morals. Then again system of
selection that fails to confine the
power of selection to men and wom
en- competent to exercise 1t can never
be satisfactory one in the very ma
ture of things. But apart from these
considerations there is another that
thoughtful Texans. 1t is this: We
all boast of the resources of Texas
in general and grandiloquent fash
ion, while knowing little of them in
a particular and practical sense. We
need a textbook, revised from time
to time so as to keep 1t up to date
that would not only serve to teach
the variety and value of these re-
sources to the boys and girls of Tex
their civic pride and to stimulate
their patriotism to degree that
would make them the best informed
and most thoughtful men and wom-
en- in the land. Not being pedagogue
we suppose that this sort of informa
ton should have Judgment in the
Biographies taught in our schools.
And this information should be COM
piled and made ready for the pupil
by men and women of Texas who
might be capable of doing the work.
1t is not practical to look to an out
slider for a work of this kind. 1t is
an accomplishment reserved for home
talent We have Texas history COM
piled by Texas woman, and it is a
satisfactory one, although it is quite
| likely that even it could be improved
| by an up-to-date revision. These are
merely suggestions, but as modest as
| they are, we trust that they will not
be lost altogether to the present and
future thought of the state.

New York Medical Authorities Claim
Dyspepsia Causes Consumption.
The post norton statistics of the
big New York hospitals show that
some cases of consumption are due
to unchecked dyspepsia, especially
when the victim was predisposed to
tuberculosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
brain, the weakened, irritable stom-
ach is unable to digest food, the
body does not receive the required
|nourishment, constipation ensues and
the victim becomes thin, weak and
haggard. AS result, the body be-
comes a fertile field for the germs of
disease to lodge and flourish.
Therefore, the person who permits
dyspepsia to progress unhindered is
guilty of contributing toward the de-
velopment of one of the most insidi-
Gus and fatal diseases known to man
kind.
Dyspepsia Is durable if properly
treated. Hood & Curtin sell a remedy
which they positively guarantee win
cure indigestion or dyspepsia or they
will pay for all the medicine used
during the trial. This remedy is an
absolutely new medicinal discovery
and has been named ReXall Dyspep-
STA Tablets. Certainly no offer could
be more fair, and the offer of Hood
& Curtin is proof positive that Rex
all Dyspepsia Tablets are depend
able and infallible remedy. Inasmuch
as the medicine will cost you MOTH
ing If 1t does not benefit you we urge
you who are suffering with indiges-
ton or dyspepsia to try this remedy,
A twenty-five cent box of Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets contains enough med
icine for fifteen days treatment. Re-
member Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets
are only sold in Waxahachie by Hood
& Curtin.

1t is shown by Senator Culberson
that the products of the Steel Trust
are protected by tariff duties ranging
from 27 per cent on some articles to
IS per cent ad yalorem on others.
and, moreover, the testimony of Mr..
Schwab shows that steel rails which
can be made for $12 ton and are
sold in the United States for $2S a
ton, whereas the same rails are sold
abroad for $40, hence it has been
estimated in the light of these fig-
ures that the profits which the Steel
Trust gets out of the tariff amount to
the enormous sum of sS0,000,000
annually.-Waco Times Herald.

said that nothing would give him

Hartman in the directorate OF the
Gould roads. Replying to a question
whether Mr.. Hartman would become
director OF the Gould system Mr..
Gould said
IL cannot say, except that nothing
would give me greater pleasure than
to have Mr. Hartman with US. We
need all the help of able men that we
can secure. The railroad manager's
lot Is not particularly a happy one.
Some of the diamonds have dropped
from our crown"
Mr.. Gould said that he knew moth
ing concerning an arrangement for the
payment of $S,000.000 of notes of the
Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad,
which fall due on Aug. /. Concerning
his own property he said:
I'VE are not yet out Of the woods :"
While business had not yet reached
the volume Of last year, he added, his
roads were now doing nearly q normal
business. The receiverships OF some Of
his roads, he stated, were Of friendly
nature and were designed to keep the
properties intact and to protect them
from hostile state interests.
Good Crops viii Help Roads.
Mr.. Gould laid much stress upon
the excsllence Of crop conditions.
which. he said. particularly affected
the welfare of the Gould roads.
Concerning the Standard OIL de-
cision Mr.. Gould expressed unqualified
satisfaction. Il think" said Mr..
Gould. that marks the turn In the
business situation. Looking at It from
the standpoint of railroad credit moth
ing did more to hurt this credit abroad
than the huge fine assessed by Judge
Lands. The foreign investors felt
that at any time their property might
be confisoated through no fault of
their own. Judge Grosscup's decision
again affirmed the American motto OF
fair play"
Mr.. Gould added that he thought
the one to answer for corporation mis-
deeds was some individual, not the
innocent stockholders.
IL was reported that following Mr..
Gould's return there will be series

ttves OF the Gould interests. e. H.

that as a result the Gould roads will
