Of all the visiting delegations at
the State Waterways Convention, the
one from the Valley of the Lower

showed the others something they
had never before dreamed of. With
such a delegation to set forth her

Brownsville should have captured the
next Waterways convention.

PRESBYTERIAN
ASSEMBLY

Kansas City, Mo-, May 20.-Through.
out the day commissioners to the
l20th convocation of the General As.
sembly of the Presbyterian church.
which convenes in Convention Hall at
II o'clock tomorrow morning, have
been coming in, and by tomorrow
morning all of those who will attend
will be in the city, Every arrang.
ment for the comfort of the 900 com
missioners and other visitors has been
completed.
All the Southern and Southwestern
States will this year, for the first time,
be represented in the assembly, max.
ing it truly national body.
With the union with the Cumberland
church effected and the legal matters
with respect to the combined owner
ship of property being adjusted, the
latest question to be considered will be
as to whether the church shall have
an executive or judicial commission
with the power to settle questions in
the interim between meetings of the
general assembly, with the moderator
as its chairman. The plan goes fur
Their and suggests that each synod
have an extensive commission and that
each presbytery have a similar body.
1t is prophesied that there will be
lively debate ON the suggestion, the in
dications being, it seems, that there
are many more opponents than friends
Of the plan.

move to Beaumont August | and enter

cepted the place has been generally
known among his friends for seyeyal

he and his family will be greatly
missed.

in the history of the Southwest has
there been such an elaborate and sue.
cessful horse show held as the one

shown during the meet to large and
enthusiastic audiences. All of the
regular classes of the horse show rou-
tine have been shown, the most not
able being the fourin-hand teams, in
which since the early stage coach
days the Texans have taken lively
interest; in this class the first prize
was won by j. A. Hill of Fort Worth

the famous coach that FATTY" Bates
won such reputation in a year or so
ago at Long Island,
In the tandem class, the egaited
horse, roadsters and heAYy harness an
imals, the exhibition was one that
would have done credit to any horse
show in the country, and special
feature of interest was the exhibition
of the famous squad of the Third Cav.

trained horses gave wonderful eXhi-
Dition. The horses would trot or gal

in SIGHT OF
Big CROWD
George Douglass Is Pulled
From Canal Under Broad

Corbo, of 10 Boyden street, to the
rescue of George Douglass, IL years old.

broken Through the thin ice on the
canal near the Broad street bridge
about 1890 o'clock this morning. was
sinking when Corbo drew him from tho
icy waters to safety in sight of hun
dreds of people.
Had not two women seen the lad
break through the ice the chances are
that he would have been drowned.
They witnessed the lads peril from tho
bridge as they were passing, and,
noting his struggles, screamed.
Corbo, who was on his way to the
postoff1ce, hearing their cries, ran to
the bridge. One glance made him
understand the situation, and over the
iron fence he leaped to the canal bank,
closely followed by other men.
The Douglass boy had about given UP
hope of rescue and was almost sub
merged in the water, nothing but his
feet being seen. Corbo lay PROSTATE
on his stomach, and. with the aid of
two other men, formed a life chain.
Corbo grabbed the lads feet just as he
was about to sink The boy was taken
out safely.
He was taken to the postoffice and
restored to consciousness, and later re-
moved to his home.
Several hundred people on the bridge
saw the rescue of the boy and cheered
Corbo and his fellow rescuers, whose
names could not be learned Many Of

his bravery.
