CONCERT AT NAvAsorA.
Prof. and Mrs. Lillebridge and 7. w.
c. Quartette Greeted With En-
thusiastic Applause.

The Navasota Examiner gave a
highly appreclative description of the
concert by Prof. and Mrs. Lillebridge
and Misses Irma Harris, Laura Dun
lap, Emily Peale and Gussie Buchan.
an, at Navasota last Friday night. The
& cellent white-up is too long to re
produce entire, but the following eX
tracts show how the music-lovers of
ear neighbor city enjoyed the artistic
performance:
Rarely has Navasota had such :,
Irusical treat as was offered TO its
music loving people on last evening
VI der the auspices of the Baptist
church. The concert was given i'm
the city hall and large and appre-
active audience greeted the musi-
clans.
"Wagner's Spinning Song was beau
tifully rendered by the ladies quar-
tette. This was .>one. of the strong
numbers of the evening and the well
known melody was reproduced with
exquisite tone coloring, the first So
prano being worthy of special com
ment, and the whole was greatly en-
HANGED by the realistically rendered
accompaniment of Mrs. Lillebridge. 3"
OF Lillebridge as an artist the
Examiner says: The finish of his
motifs was eXquisitely done and the
tone quality of his piano passages was
something to be sought We We're 4
bit surprised that an artist of Mr.. Lii
lebridge's capability should have adj.
hered to his notes but we believe it
must have been an old fondness for
the piece intrinsically, for he seemed
not to depend upon them much after
all"
The quartette received enthusiastic
applause and responded with several
encores. OF one of these the Elk
aminer says THE duet sung as an
encore by Mrs, Lillebridge and Miss
Peale was charming piece of work
and enjoyed thoroughly"
The Examiner concludes its ele-
giant critique as follows: The Lac
dies Quartette is far above the avel-
age, having good quality of voice,
trueness of tone and exactness of
time, all of which make it vey pleas
ing indeed and we congratulate Bry.
an upon having so many enjoyable
in her midst and wait with
eXpectant pleasure for a return of
them to us in the near future"

ATTEMPT TO EXTEND.
Anarchist Leaders Apparently Endeav.
oring to Operate at Kansas City.

Kansas City, March 2.-Anarchist
leaders of Chicago are apparently at
tempting to extend the influence in
this city. During the past few weeks
members of the Crotian settlement in
Kansas City, Kan, received by mail
copies of the Crotian. an anarchistic
paper, published at Chicago. Many
Of those who received copies of the
paper formerly worked in Chicago
packing houses and We're transferred
to Kansas City. They all declared
they did not order the papers. The
publication contains articles attacking
the Catholic church and all forms OF
government. Rev. NJ. Dovorin Krem-
potie pastor of the Church of st. John
the Baptist, which has Crotian men,
bers, said: There has been some
attempts of anarchists to work in my
parish. They have met with little
success, however, and caused me no
trnuhla"

Students of the Allen Academy were
present in a body. All these sermons
we're strongly evangelistic and made
profound impression.
DR.. Packard preached a powerful
discourse last night on the text:
Whatsoever measure We meet it shall
be measured to you again 1t was
a heart-searching, soul stirring SER
mon-one that many of the congre-
cation will remember as an event in
their lives. BY the power of his
reasoning and pathos he moved his
hearers by turns to laughter and
tears. Surely if earnest. spiritual
preaching can bring a revival Bryan

hour, from 1880 to II o'clock All

THE COTTON WAR.

The war of the cotton farmers for
independence has not resulted in i'm
rnediate victory and the Eagle warned
the farmers when they began 1t that
this would probably be so. What they
want now is the nerve and determine
ton to keep up the fight. If they will
do this, ultimate victory is as certain
as that there is a God who rules over
the destinies of men.
The warning of the Eagle last fall
was based on a knowledge of the
powerful forces that were sure to be
united against the farmers, chief of
whichs is the financial and political
power of the New York cotton eX
change. A few facts are sufficient to
demonstrate the truth of this asser-
ton:
In 1906 the cotton bears hammered
down the price till they got the bulk
oil the crop at to II cents, and as
soon as this was accomplished the
price went up to fifteen cents. AS =
result the spectators pocketed mil
lions which justly belonged to the far
mers. The crop of 1907 was 2 1-2
million bales less than that of 1906,
the price in May and June had been
TX pence equal to 10 cents) in the
leading European markets, and all
the circumstances justified the farm
.ers in demanding that they be paid
the full value of their product. But as
soon as their determination to do so
was announced the enemy got busy.
Fraudulent statistics were manufac-
tured bogus contracts were made, and
venal newspapers were hired to pub
lish broadcast what well informed peo-
pie know to be false. BY such means
Heretofore they have always been
able to control the price, but still the
farmers stood firm Resolved to win
no matter at what cost, the bears con-
spired with other equally corrupt and
and SELFISH influences to bring on the
panic 1t was this that staggered the
farmers.
Such is the situation in a nutshell.
Now what are the farmers going to
do? If they give up the fight they
must content themselves to be dictat-
ed to for at least another generation.
But, as the Eagle said in the begin
ming, they will win If they have the
nerve and stamina to keep up the
fight. If they are determined to do
so. the time has come to assume the
aggressive-to carry the war into the
enemy's country. BY a united AMI
determined effort they can destroy
the stronghold known as the New
York cotton exchange This would
end the war. but until this is done
there will never be peace.

BY Associated Press.

Savannah, Ga, Nov. 23.-Willie
Haupt, the young American. driver,
who began his racing career not more
than two years ago, and who has
amazed some of the older men at the
wheel by his seemingly reckless speed
ing around turns, made one round of
the course over which the grand prize
auto race is to be rum on Thanksgiv-
ing day at an average speed of ap-
proximately Il miles an hour today,
To gain this average over the
course which has Is banked turns
and twenty+six fiat curves, it was
necessary for the driver of the Chad
wick car to attain speed of more
than 80 miles on the straight stretches.
Louis Strang, member of the Re
nault French team, made three laps
of the course in remarkably fast and
consistent time. His speed average
for, two laps vas sixty-eight miles an
hour. Erie, of the Bee team, the Ger
man entrants, made one lap in 22.03,
which is one second faster than
Strang'S best lap today.

Chicago, Nov. 23.-With the arrest

making bogus- So bills and circulating
them in Chicago. Three others were
arrested in Chicago and Joliet Sunday.
A fire in a West Side residence in
which $4,000 of counterfeit money
had been planted was incidentally
responsible for the arrests The build
ing was partly burned about three
weeks ago. When the flames were
noticed by neighbors they ran 10 the
house When questioned. the men
said they could eXtinguish the blaze
without the aid of the fire depart
ment or anyone else. The authorities
began an investigation which was
caused by the finding of partly burn
ed SIS bill by a milkman on the lake
front.
The milkman sent the bill to Wash
ington to be redeemed and there it
was discovered the money was coun-
terfeit. The federal authorities be-
gan an investigation headed by John
WiIkie. chief of the secret service.
They obtained a report of the blaze
on the West Side, and it was learned
that the partly burned building hous-
ed a gang of counterfeiteTs who had
on hand the $4,000 bogus currency.
After the fire the imitation money was
dumped into the lake, and the bill
that was found by the milkman was
one that had been washed ashore
