INQUIRIES FROM DISTANT STATES
Fame Of Waxahachie Mineral Water
Has Been Heralded Abroad.

"Waxahachie's mineral water is
the best"
Such is the universal verdict of all
who have given Waxahachie's flow
ing pharmacy a fair test. That the
medicinal properties contained in
this water will restore health has
been demonstrated in hundreds of
cases. This water has been tried and
found entirely satisfactory by per-
sons who have drunk the waters
from some of the most removed min
eral wells and hot springs of the
north and east.
Although Waxahachie's hot water
has been given no publicity except
through press specials its fame as a
health restorer has reached many
points in the country.
H. w. Madison, who has the con-
tract for the construction of the ma
tatorium in this city, says he is be-
sieged with inquiries from various
states concerning Waxahachie and
her mineral water. These letters
come from Kentucky, Tennessee
| Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas
and several points in Texas.

THE CONCORDlA SA-
LOON.

A burglar last night broke into the
Concordia saloon and with the aid of
an ice pick forced open the cash drawer
and got away with $34 and a quart
Of rye whiskey The money was about
half dimes and nickels.
Entrance was effected some time af-
ter the closing of the saloon at mid
night. The burglar, there is thought t.
be but one, went in through the back
window after removing the glass. The
police are looking for a suspect CT
whom there has been furnished a mea-
gre description.
James Pagan was taken up by the
police this noon on the charge Of being
the man who committed the burglary.
He had in his possession $40, part of
which was identified by William E.
Crumpacl1er, proprietor of the saloon,
and his barkeeper, as money stolen
from the till. He was also identified as
the man who was trying to sell quart
bottle of Hunters rye WhiSkey this
morning, that being the brand and
amount of liquor taken from the saloon
last night. Pagan is in Jail waiting for

MANY EIGHTH
GRADE GRADUATES
COMPLETED COMMON SCHOOL
COURSE.

Report are ill., showing the number
eighth grade graduates from both city
and county schools this spring The
figures are gratifying to officials of
both school departments of the public
schools and show decided increase in
both.
From the city schools, there were
this year 14O graduates, while the
country schools had nearly as many,
their number reaching 104, a total OF
PA in all.
This is particularly gratifying to the
county school officials, as it shows
increased interest with both teachers
and pupils. With but an average at
tendance of between seven and seven
and a half months, the county schools
graduated 104, against the 140 of the
city schools, where the attendance is
10 months.
However, the increase in both city
and county schools is material and
both departments of the public educa-
ton rightly feel elated over the good
showing.

LIEUT., CUMMINGS
WAS BADLY HURT
DlTiON AS RESULT OF
HORSES FALL.

| Second Lieutenant R. E. Cummings,
! from his horse to the pavement on July
3, is critically i'll from the injuries re-
ceived at that time and last night his
condition was considered almost hope
less. This morning, however, he had
improved and the doctors have hopes of
| his recovery.
| Lieutenant Cummings was riding a
spirited horse a week ago yesterday
and at the corner of Birch ard Fourth
it became frightened by the celebration
! of some young Americans and
started to prance. The officer had no
difficulty in keeping his seat or in
controlling the animal until the
/ horses feet slipped on the pavement.
| When the lieutenants mount lost its
| footing he was unable to eXtricate
himself from the saddle and the ami
NAL fell heavily across his body, in
juring him internally. He also re-
ceived injuries about the head
Two policemen hurried to the scene
of the accident but the plucky soldier
J would have no aid in getting back to
the post but mounted his horse and
rode back At that time the officer
thought his injuries were only about
the stomach but later a clot of blood
formed on the brain and that has been
the source of trouble in his serious ILL
ness.
| Many Of the townspeople who went
out to the fort last night to hear the
regular Friday night concert were dis
appointed at not hearing the band play,
as no reason was given by the orderly
who announced that there would be no
music. However, Lieutenant Cum
mings was at deaths door and for that
reason the concert was not held.

Poor Season 1t Will Be If
First Day Is a
Criterion

HAvRE DE GRACE. Nd, Nov. S-The
cunning season on the Susduehanna flats
opened yesterday, one Gf the poorest first
days for the sport in a number of years.
A few ducks were bagged early by
those who were fortunate enough to g,t
good berths on the fats-and good bertfs
were few.
Hundreds of acres OF the best cunning
grounds are high and dry and have been
for the last three days. owing to the
heavy north wind. which continuing up
to Sunday night blew the water down the
bay The wind was not blowing so
hard in Yesterdays shooting hours, but
it was strong enough to keep the tide
low, and the gunners were huddled so
close together that none we're able TO
bag many ducks. The ducks could easily
take refuge on the bare fats far out Of
reach of the gunner.
Many Of the sportmen returned from
the flats long before the day was over.
and they all report poor luck. yet they
seem satisfied with the days sport. as
the great majority of them shot at any
thing in sight. whether thers was anv
chance Of bagging a duck or not.
