41 DEATHS BY VIOLENCE

There were thirteen suicides in Con necticut during February, four homi- cides and forty-one persons killed through violent agencies. In two oth- CT cases the charges probably will be manslaughter. Of the fatalities, sixteen are credited to trains. five to drowning, seven to falls, four to poison and three to burning, while trolleys are held re- sponsible for only two. One person was frozen to death one asphyxiated, one killed by explosion, and one died of tetanus.

THE WORLD NEEDS KNOCKERS.

This little story is going the
rounds of many newspapers;
Once there lived man who
had chronic Indigestion and a
woman who had missed a mark
down sale, and had also been
Tilted and had always acted as
though she had been hit with a
sour apple. The man with the
chronic indigestion and the wo-
man who had been Tilted, etc,
married and the progeny was the
first Of our present day knock
erS."
Perhaps there is a large class
of sO-called knockers to whom
this story will apply. But knock
er is a word that needs to be
used carefully. There are times
when iconoclast would be better
and at other times misanthrope
would fit.
For because a man knocks is
not a good excuse for condemn
ing him as an undesirable. The
world needs knockers. Left
alone to themselves people would
become so self satisfied that liv-
ing would become intolerable.
Back in the days of Noah the
citizens of the world used to com
pare themselves with the citizens
who had lived before their time,
and reflect, How much better
are we than they"
Noah was a knocker. He knock
ed the customs of the day, the
people, the cherished institutions,
even the forms of Worship. He
kept on knocking year after year
until he got to be such nuisance
that nobody would listen to him.
While he was knocking he had a
hammer in his hand and was
knocking nails into timbers to
build an ark. He didn't stop
knocking either with his preach
ing or his hammer until a flood
came along and drowned every
body who hadn't taken his ad-
vice.
Practically all great reformers
have been knockers. We don't
call them that now, but the peo
pie who lived in their day did.
Socrates was tremendous
knocker and they finally killed
him for it, but the people remem-
Der the name of Socrates now,
when they have forgotten the
name of single member of

A Flour Mill Proposition.

At call meeting of the Com
mercial Club, held Saturday at
the courthouse, Fred h. Cato, of
Pennington, Arkansas, submit
ted a proposition for a Touring
mill at Canyon City. On motion
the proposition was submitted
by Mr.. Cato in writing and by
him turned over to the Internal
Improvement committee of said
club Reconsideration by our peo-
pie. The proposition speaks for
itself and The News here repro
duces it entire;
The Canyon City Commercial
Club, Canyon City, Texas.
Gentlemen: We beg to submit
to you the following proposition
for the consideration Of the citi-
zens of Canyon City and vicinity,
tOwit:
To organize and incorporate a
joint stock company of twelve
thousand dollars $4,000 capital
for the purpose of moving from
Arlington, Arkansas, a fifty
barrel -four mill with a fifty bar
rel meal or three hundred bag
feed mill in connection, to Can
yon City, Texas, to build, own
and operate same at said town.
We, Cato & Bohart, agree to
subscribe for six thousand dol
lars (S6, of the capital stock,
furnishing machinery, spouting,
elevator Logging betting, pulleys
and Shafting, etc, at invoice price
at Pennington, Ark, to balance
same: The balance Of the stock,
(siX thousand dollars, $4,000 to
be subscribed for by the citizens
of Canyon City and vicinity.
Twenty per cent of the six thou
sand dollars subscribed for by
the Citizens of Canyon City to be
paid as soon as the lumber for
mill and elevator building ar
rives on track at Canyon City.
The balance to be paid as needed
for the erection of mill and ele-
vator building and to install the
machinery, and when the mill is
ready for operation all the bal
ance to be paid and used to oper
ate the mill.
This agreement is subject to
our acceptance or rejection.
CATO & BOHART.
BY FRED L. CATO.
If this be accepted by the peo-
pie it is agreed that one Of the
parties of the first part, an eXpe
rienced miller, will, if desired,
move to Canyon City and operate
the plant.
The proposition, on It's face,
looks fair. In addition to this
the men who made it have per
sonal appearances in their favor.
1t looks to The News as tho if we
want flour mill at Canyon City

the Senator on account of the
unfair attacks Of personal enc
mics. and the going back on in
structiOns by some members OF
the Legislature, he, Senator
Bailey, had done no wrong"
Mr.. Bowman conceded the hon
esty and good faith of Democrats
opposed to Senator Bailey in the
present canvass, but deplored its
effect as tendingto impair not only
the present good feeling and un-
ion among Texas Democrats but
the prestige Of our Junior Sena-
tor with the country at large.
From his standpoint Mr.. Bow
man made an excellent speech.
He gave and he took, as the say
ing goes, and at the conclusion
of his address he was cOngratu-
lated by political foe as well as
friend.
1t was thought that a reply to
Mr.. Bowman's position would be
allowed, but on request for that
privilege the chairman Of the
meeting, l.. c. Lair, promptly
sat down on the proposition, stat
ing in substance that it was Who'll
ly a Bailey love feast-that and
nothing else.
Among the other speakers
were Rev. j. M. Harder and j.
c. Hunt. Indorsing what Mr.,
Bowman had already said each
Of these gentlemen piled it on
several hundred per cent
stronger.
At the conclusion of the speak
ing it was moved and carried that
a Bryan-Ba Bailey-Wynne club be
organized; that it meet every
other Friday evening beginning
today and that it continue as Il
working organization until after
the November election. l.. c..
