TO Brownsville, the inference being
that it occurred at this place, being
the neighbot of Corpus Christy.
The Sun is respectfully requested
to make amends for a wrong which
was doubtless due to mistake, by
publishing a correction and giving
it equal prominence. There is no
such villainous thing as Black

no such outrage ever occurred here.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infa1ned con.
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube When this tube is infam.
ed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrb

What God Created.

Here is Missouri EDITORS ac-
count of the creation: In the
beginning God created heaven and
the earth and the editor, then He
created the liberal advertiser
which was all good. The next
day it rained and He created the
man who does not believe in ad-
vertising, another who does not
take the home paper-and then He
rested. And then He got into the
moulding room and created the
man who takes the paper for sew
eral years and fails to pay fer it.

SCHOOL LANDS FOR SALE.
List Just Issued by Land Commissioner
Embraces Million Acres.

San Antonio, Texas. Jan. s.
Land Commissioner Terrell has
Just issued the list of school lands
now for sale in this state. It en-
braces a million acres, scattered
over the state, though some of the
best are in this section. The land
is sold on condition that the buyer
will settle Oh it continuously one
wear from date; at the end OF 120
DAYS he must make affidavit of this
fact. The land can be bought on
forty years time at 3 per cent
interest. This land is owned by
the public school system of Texas,
and is part of the splendid endow-
niert-reserved by Texas when she
entered the Union for the cause OF
public education. This wise pro
vision has given Texas an extern
sive and complete system of public
schools without creating a burden
of taxation 20 maintain it. Indeed
some counties in this state receive
more from the state for public
schools than they pay to the STATE
both in school and state taxes.

BUSY SCENE AT oLMlTo.
First Car Of CauliflOwsr Shipped on
Jackson Day-Second. Two Days
Later-Lettuce and Figs.
To TIE HERALD

To THE HERALD.
Olmito, Texas. Jan. S-Olmito
sends out her first car OF cauli-
flower on Jan. 9Th. Very few of
us remember it is the anniversary
of the battle of New Orleans. Next
year it will be easier to recall the
date of the first shipment of cauli-
flower by the car lots if the two
anniversaries are recalled.
This has been very busy day
at the depot. Wagons loaded with
crates of cauliflower arrive con-
stantly, deposit their loads on the
platform, reload with empty crates
and hike to fields again for freshly
packed crates of caulifower, with
which to fill the second car, which
will be shipped from Olmito the
10th, inst. This seems very en-
couraging indeed.
The constant tap, tap, of the
hammer by the crate makers at the
depot awakens echoes in our quiet
little station and we dream of how
nice it\ would be to hear the con-
slant tap of the hammer, if cur
little station would come out of its
lethargy and develop.
Mr.. Landrum and Messrs. Bur
ress have fine lettuce, which has
many heads ready for market. To
view the lettuce fields you can
easily imagine iced cars being filled
for our neighbors, in the frigid
regions.
The fig trees on the Burress
Bros. truck farm have fine sup
ply of figs, which look appetizing.

A MESS OF TURNlpS
.s.k..rs.s....s ss.sS,ef5rTTrTTTTTFT )

IurnlpS IN FOIt Woith az 49,
! ing for 81 cents apiece. Two bits
will buy four,
1t is the season when al garden
vegetables appeal to the appetite
and perhaps it is because OF the
particular appetizing qualities be-
longing to turnips alone, making
them more of luxury than food
for common indulgence, which
puts their price at such lofty fig
ure.
Six and a quarter cents apiece
for turnips in Fort Worth. And
they feed turnips to cows in Ire
land.
Admitting all the subtle and ex-
quisite oGors which properly pre-
pared turnips possess, and all their
palate-tickling joys, why should
they be SO high?
We are told that an ancient Roman,
Lucullus it was
whom no Epicurean joys could
charm.
Ate roasted turnips on his Sabine farm. ="
And doubtless he enjoyed them
It is doubtful, tho, if Lucullus paid
6 IA cents apiece for them. I'm
doubtedly as the old verse tells us,
they grew on the Sabine farm it
mentions. In other words Lucullus
raised them himself.
And that is the point for Texas.
If turnips are worth so much in
January, why aren't more of them
raised? There are turnip patches
apparently in every direction if one
but strolls into the COUNTRY around
Fort Worth and looks at the gar
dens. Yet the price is high. Maybe
there is a turnip trust.
Not for a minute. The trouble
with the turnips is as with nearly
every other vegetable grown and
sold in Texas, they aren't market
ed right.
Somebody is getting a whole lot
of profit out of turnips at four for
a quarter. Somebody who raised |
just as many turnips, isn't getting
anything at all, except perhaps
some for his family and the rest for
his dairy COW.
It hasn't been long since the
Telegram called attention to the
fact that for at least part Of the
year we Import tomatoes from Mex
leo. Our cucumber pickles are
raised in Iowa. Our cheese comes
from Wisconsin and New York.
And yet our orators place their
hands upon their breasts and in
voices trembling with emotion bel
low forth to their enraptured listen
ers.
Texas can feed the world"
Certainly it can. But it isn't
feeding itself yet. Not by a long
ways. That is why the subject of
turnips IS being mentioned. Some
days vegetables in Texas will be
marketed properly. 1t will never
be done until there is organization
and systematic supply to meet
the varying demand.
Every truck growers association
formed in Texas this winter means
more money to the truck growers
themselves and less money paid
out of the pockets of poor people
who like turnips, potatoes, toma-
toes, and all the other vegetables
when they can afford them.
It's worth thinking o7er. Fort
Worth Telegram.

Business Manager Of Register and

Special to mes-Republican.
Des Moines, Jan. 31.-W. B. South
well. of the Des Moines Register and
Leader, has acquired an interest in
that newspaper, purchasing his STOCK
from Mr.. Gardner Cowles, the major
ity owner Both Mr.. Southwell and
Mr.. Cowles confirmed this statement
today.
The first news of the transaction
was contained in a statement in the
Burlington Hawkeye.
Some years ago when Mr.. SouthWell
came 70 the employ of the Register and
Leader there was a story that he had
acquired an interest or would acquire
an interest for Blythe. This was de-
MED at the time in an editorial of the
Register and Leader.
The officials Of the paper while con-
firming the purchase of stock by MIR
Southwell, deny that $4,000 worth OF
the stock was ever deposited in the Des
Moines Savings bank as collateral Sc
curity for loan, or that it was sold
to a syndicate during the recent finan-
cial furry to satisfy the loan.
Cowles and Southwell refuse to state
the exact amount of stock SouthWel
secured, but it is only a minority in

PAsToR-EDIToR ACCUSED.
Dr.. Buckley, Of the Christian Advo-
cate, Charged With Slander.

New York, Jan. 31.-Charges of dis
loyalty and slander preferred against
the Rev. DIR. j. M. Buckley, editor of
the Christian Advocate, and one of
the best known Methodist Episcopal
leaders in this country, were consid-
cred by commission of nine clergy
men of the New York east conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church in
Brooklyn. The charges were made by
the Rev. DR.. G. A. Cook, of Brandon,
VT. 1t is understood that the charges
are based on editorials in the Chris
tian Advocate.
1t was DIR. Cook who preferred the
charges against Professor Bergen A.
Downe of Boston university, which re-
suited in the latter's trial for alleged
heresy a few years ago. DR.. Buckley,
in defending Professor Downe, &C
accused Dr. Cook of having made pub
lie the charges against the professor.
The charges now preferred against DR..
Buckley are supposed to have grown
out of the Downe trial.
A commission of clergymen, with
the Rev. DR.. C. F. Wing, presiding ell
der as chairman, was appointed to de-
termine whether the charges consti-
tuted sufficient grounds to warrant a
formal trial. It's sessions were execu-
tive and will be continued tomorrow.

OPPOSES BOTH BILLS
President Of American Banking Asso-
citation Points Out Defects in Meas
ure Introduced by AIdrich and Fowl
err, and Advocates Mckinley Finan-
cial Bill.


Washington, Jan. 31.-Former Pres
ident John T. Hamilton, of the Ameri-
can Banking Association, appeared be-
fore the house committee on banking
and currency today. In the course OF
a vigorous statement with frequently
interruptions by questions by members
of the committee, he took his position
squarely behind the Mckinley finan-
cial bill, representing the views of the
currency committee of the American
Banking Association, and in opposition
to the bills introduced by Senator AID
rich and Representative Fowler.
The Aldrich bill is for the issuance
of an emergency currency on such Sc
curity as bonds of states, counties, and
municipalities. Certain coin corpora
tions were denounced by Hamilton as
"unimpracticable, unWise and financi-
ally unsound.''
He conceded that the Fowler bill had
some meritious features, but con-
demned the measure as Whole.
Among his reasons was that its scope
is too broad; that it aims at so radical
reform in the currency system that
to put it in operation, "would unsettle
rather than mend the financial condi-

sponsibility or irresponsbility. The
knowledge of the nature or quahtY OF
the defendants action included the Is
sue as to whether or not he knew how
to handle and load a pistol. The de-
fendant had a right to expect the BEN
eft of a doubt as to this, as we'll as to
other material issues. The trace Of In
sanity in the collateral branches OF
the prisoners family the justice said,
had proper place in the testimony
and was worthy of consideration. DOW

defendants plea to insanity, you VIII
add the clause 'on the ground OF de-
fendant's insanity at the time or COM

dictment' In any other verdict you
render, you will specify the degree,
After the jury had retired, Downing
and the opposing attorneys congratu-
lated each other upon the eXperlt'ous
trial and the manner of it's conduct.
Bowling said that his decision to throw
all sessions open to the public had
been justified by the way the case had
been handled by the press
Mrs. William Thaw visited her son
for a time, then left the court room.
Young Mrs. Thaw remained.
The following verdicts are possible IN
the case: Murder in the fist de-
gree. penalty. death; murder in the
second degree, penalty. life imprison-
ment: manslaughter in the first de-
gree, penalty. not to exceed twenty
years imprisonment: not guilty on
the ground of insanity at the time the
