MOUNTAIN PEAK.

Mountain Peak, Texas, May 27.-
Another heavy rain fell here last
night, Saturday, and crops are flood
ed and land badly washed, Farm
crops are in rather poor shape at
present and cotton is getting very
weedy and if the wet weather CON
tinues it is hard to tell what the re-
suit will be in the future. Some far
mers are reported not done planting
their first crop yet, and cold wealth
er, frost and floods later on have
caused much cotton to be piowed up
and planted over. Land has been very
much damaged by washing rains.
The prospects for good corn crop
are very good at present and some
of it is laid by.
Wheat and oats harvest is near at
hand and that, with cotton chopping,
is going to require every available
hand, and then, perhaps, the de-
mand will not be supplied.

The weather last night was most
Indictment, the streets were sloppy
from the heavy rain of the late af-
ternoon and the elements were I'M
propitious, but despite these obstac-
les, large congregation assembled
at the opera house and heard ano-
Their of those convincing discourses
which are delivered in such a quiet,
non-sensational, but powerful man
ner, by DR.. R. A. Walton.
Agreeable to the request of the
evangelist, a large number in the
congregation last night wore roses,
while on the preachers desk was a
great, white beauty, which he used
with effect in relating the STORY of
rose and the wonderful results
that followed the presentation by a
cody woman of a beautiful rose to
one of the most degraded characters
found in the underworld of New
York.
A pleasing feature of the prelimin-
airy service last night was the group
ing of a number of children in one
part of the house and their singing
under the direction of Mr.. jolly, the
soEl-stirring melody, All the Way
to Calvary" Their fresh young vol
ces rang out over the audience in a
way that went straight to the hearts
of the hearers, and, no doubt, there
were blase men of the world in the
audience who were strangely moved
by the song as sung by these chill
dren.-Orange Leader.

CURES COUGHS AND COLDS.
Hyomei Gives Relief in 10 Minutes
Cures Over Night.

Everybody knows, or ought to
know that Hyomei is recognized
among scientists as the specific for
catarrh, asthma, bronchitis and hay
fever, but there are a great many
people who do not know that Hyo-
mel will cure a cough or cold In
less than "a hours.
But everyone should know that the
soothing, balmy and antiseptic air
of Hyomei when breathed over the
raw and inflamed membrane of the
nose and throat will instantly allay
the inflammation, and will effect a
prompt cure.
Complete Hyomei outfit, including
inhaler, costs only $100 at Hood &
Curlin's drug store. Extra bottles, If
afterwards needed, will cost but so
cents.

FOR NEW LOCAL ARMoRY.
Need Urged Before House Public
Buildings Committee.

Gen. George H. Harries. commanding
the District of Columbia militia; Lieut.
Col. Lloyd NJ Brett of the regular army,
adjutant general of the militia; Maj.
Joseph T. Dickman, 18th United States
Cavalry. and Maj w. E. Harvey, I'd
Regiment, N. G. D. c.. appeared today
before the House committee on public
buildings and grounds to urge the in
clusion in the public buildings bill of
an appropriation of $4,000 to be ex-
pended in securing plans for an armory
for the local guard. Gen. Harries Col.
Brett and Maj. Dickman. the latter hay-
ing conducted the recent annual in
spection of the local brigade in behalf
of the War Department, pointed out
that the necessity for a new armory is
urgent, the present quarters of the Dis
trict soldiers being entirely Inadequate
and unsatisfactory.
The committee seemed inclined to
meet this view, but several members
expressed the opinion that the limit of
cost contemporaries million and a
quarter dollars-is too high. References
were made to entirely adequate ar
mOries in various states which had cost
much less than the sum mentioned.
At the conclusion of the brief hearing
the committee took the request under
advisement. with an apparently excel
lent prospect Of the item being in
c1uded in the bill, with change in the
limit Of cost.

MONEY FOR DISTRICT
HEARINGS BEFORE SENATE SUB
COMMITTEE NEXT WEEK.

Hearing before the District subcommit-
tee of the Senate committee on appropria-
tons on the District appropriation bill
will begin next week. The bill came over
from the House yesterday.
Senator Gallinger, chairman of the COM
mittee on the District of Columbia. is also
chairman of the subcommittee that will
report the bill. The other members of
the subcommittee are Senators Elkins,
Hemenway, Tfllman and Foster. All but
Mr.. Tillman, who is i'll at his home in
South Carolina, will probably attend the
hearings.
A great deal Of the time of the sub
con:,nittee will doubtless be taken up with
fo~ 7J-oent gas In the District government
buildings The impression prevails that
the provision will not have as plain sail
ing in the Senate as it did at the other
end of the Capitol. Nothing definite,
however, can be said about it, and the
subcommittee may decide not to take
issue with the House on the question. If
Senator Tilman were here he would lend
his support to the House amendment.
Al. effort will be made In the Senate.
to restore certain amounts cut down by
the House, 1t is said. The amendment
introduced in the HOUSE by Mr.. Olcott
of New York increasing the amount al
lowed the local Fairgrounds from 81 800
body. will probably he put on the bill in
the Senate. and it's chances of remaining
through the conference will be good. 1t
is also rumored that the Senate will en-
deavor to increase the public school ap-
preparation.

the importance OF the colonies and wise
departure from the olGi method of nego-
tiating with respect to colonial affairs
without consulting the interests of the
colonies. course which heretofore has
led to dissatisfaction on the part of the
colonies.
There is also favorable comment on the
reservation that agreements made under
this treaty shall not be binding until
they have been confirmed by the two gov
ernments concerned by an exchange. Of

sary In view OF the obligation to submit
