The sherfff's office was notified and deputies sent out to Socorro at once. The local po- lice were also put on the trail, but no one has succeeded in capturing the man who committed the murder.
 The whole matter Is shrouded in mystery There seems to be no req son to question the tale of the son. and it is believed that the beggar who was fed is the man who later stole upon Hernandez and beat him to death. Tn son believes that the man remained in hiding until the coast was clear and then crept from his hid ing place with the intention of get ting the old mans money, if he had any, or killing him. He accomplished both
 There is a little Mexican settlement across the river from Socorro, called Zaragosa. and it is thought that the murderer went there and on into the mountains.
 As soon as the sheIiff's office was notified three deputies were detailed on the case. They were Greet. Sands and Yarn, and while they were riding out along the county road they came across three men in wagon. whom they arrested and sent bact to So. zorro. When they arrived there they were released on the strength of the sons testimony that they were not the men. A little while later three more

 The men arrested by the deputies were Conception Garcia, Tomas Gar cia and Julio Fierro.
 About eight years ago. Lucien Her uandez, a brother of the murdered man was murdered in about the same way as Jesus and his murderer has never been caught. The weapon used ia each case was an axe, and ths wounds inflicted were in the same places.
 Don Benigno 'Alderete of Ysleta, who is probably the best known resi- dsnt in Fl Paso county, immediately left for the scene of the crime after hearing of it.
 Judge Fsix of Ysleta, a close per. sonal friend of the dead man, is in the city today and is doing his utmost to have the man wio breakfasted with Hernandez yesterday morning caught He spent most of the morning at the county clerks office and is very much interested in the case. He be- lieyes that if the man is caught he will prove to be the assassin.
 The murder has stirred the con- munity 10 the highest pitch and should he be captured while senti- ment is so strong against him. it might go hard with him were he taken to Soco-ro.
 Mir. Hernandez was 60 years old and leaves six children and a mum b>T of grandchildren, all of whom live in Fl Paso county.

Brushy Creek, Texas, Aug. 10.-The
good old summer time is asserting it
self at this time, and the rains have
managed to miss our locality. Corn
has passed that stage for rain to- do
it any good, but cotton is beginning
to need rain now. 1t is opening in
some places all right. The pea crop
has been fairly good, and a good
many are being saved.
Now that the primaries are over It
may be that people will go to think
ing about living. Many of the voters
seemed to be as deeply absorbed in
the elections as if their lives and that
of their families depended on the re-
suits.
Times will be very dull for awhile
now, as national politics do not ap-

that some of the candidates feel quite
lonesome now, for verify man-and
especially the candidate-who is born

with the wish of his impecunious

small loans of money, and frequently

BROAD PLATFORM GIVEN
Submission Plank Adopted Without
Committing Party to Statewide
Prohibition.

Convention Hall, San Antonio, Tex.
as, Aug. 12-With but little delay the
committee on platform and resolrI,
lions appointed by the democratic
state convention yesterday afternoon
adopted the planks that are to com
pose the party platform in Texas for
the 1908 campaign.
The convention had been called to
reassemble at 10 o'clock this morn
ing, but it waited on the platform
resolutions committee.
This committee met at the Menger
at 9 o'clock to hear the report of its
subcommittee to which all proposed
resolutions and platform planks had
been referred for consideration over
night.
The subcommittee reported and
the following planks were adopted
without dissent:
1. Declaring for the preservation
of state and national constitutional
right and predicting victory at the
November election.
2. Indorsing the national platform
and nominees.
3. Indorsing the official acts of
Governor Campbell's administration;
indorsing the Thirtieth legislature for
enactiDp D1atfOrm demands into laws
and rejoicing in the denomination of
the governor.
a. Indorsing the United States SEN
ators from Texas, without naming
them, for faithful discharge of their
official Duties"
5. Recommending the resubmis-

sion of constitutional amendment
making provision for the support of
INDECENT dependents for Confederate
soldiers.
6. Recommending liberal support
of public schools and the adoption of
the pending constitutional amend
ments whose purpose it is to make
possible a more liberal support of
country free schools; indorsing also
the submission by the legislature of
constitutional amendment validating
all genuine outstanding bonds of indie
pendent school districts and other po-
litical subdivisions of Texas that have
been approved by the attorney gen.
eral and registered by the comptroller
to the end that no public obligations
of the people of Texas may be re-
pudiated
Z. Recommending that the number
of members of the Texas legislature
be reduced and the compensation of
the members be increased.
s. Favoring the establishment of
additional agricultural experiment
stations in Central, West and North
west Texas.
9. Recommending liberal support
of the state health department.
10. We repudiate the charge that
has been made that Texas legislation
is unfriendly to capital and we invite
a comparison of our laws affecting
capital, private and corporate, with
the laws of other states on this sub
ject. We declare the democratic par
ty of Texas to be one of progress
looking well to the material interest
of the people and in favor of an early,
rapid development of all the natural
resources of the state. The party in
vites the investment of friendly cap
itaI by both individuals and corpora
lions and guarantees full and COM
plete protection of all such invest
ments. The party recognizes the ne
cessity for the construction of many

not SO good as has been the case
heretofore. Miss Joe Murphy and
Mr.. Bert Harrington have been sick,
and there are several others that are
sick. Mrs. ]. L. Dickerson, who was
sick so long, died some two weeks
ago. She was born and raised near
Poyner, and has many relatives and
friends who lament her loss.
Mr.. B. G.. Cely is on visit to his
daughter, Mrs. Terry, in Oklahoma.
Mr.. Henry Lee will soon leave with
his family for the West, and others
are talking of going somewhere. Lee
is acting very wisely in the matter,
as he is leaving his corn, hogs, etc.
He will have good excuse to come
back.
Miss Charlie Cunningham of Jack
sonville was here for few days last
week, visiting friends and relatives.
Her many friends will be glad to have
her make another visit just as soon
as it may suit her convenience.
Miss Laura Emerson, who has been
attending school at Huntsville for
some time, returned home some days
ago.
The day set apart to clean off the
Olive Branch graveyard was remem-
bered, and big crowd was there, but
last Friday was set to again assemble
and burn off the trash that had been
cut off on the first occasion, but only
a few turned out. Neverthe-
less the work was nearly finished. We
hope that those who are interested
will do better next time.
The time for the big camp meeting
will soon be here, and the Herald
management should come up and get
something to eat and their spiritual
strength renewed.
Be good. So long. Fagin.

unoccupied lands, the timber growing
thereon and the minerals and other
valuable deposits therein, and heartily
invites the construction thereof under
proper regulations and protection by
just and fair laws intelligently and
honestly administered"
There was a fight on the bank de-
posit guarantee plank, but it was
adopted as follows: "In harmony with
the national democratic platform,
pledging the party to legislation for
the guaranty of national bank depos
its, we favor the prompt establish
ment of system under the super
vision and control of the state for the
guaranty of the deposits of the state
banks of Texas
The rice growers of South Texas
had procured the adoption of the sub
committee of plank calling for legis-
lation to protect them against over
charge by canal companies for water
used in irrigating their crop. This
was amended in full committee to in
clude legislation making pipe lines
common carries under the states SUI
pervision and regulating their charges
to producers of oil.
The chief fight in the committee,
as in the subcommittee, was on the
submission plank. The five anti-sub-
mission members of the sub-commit-
tee reported against submission, hold
ing that as the proposition to submit
had failed in the primary to receive
majority of all the votes cast, as
the law expressly requires, the party
was under no obligation to make it a
platform demand.
The four submissionists in the COM
mittee reported a resolution asking
the convention to submit the PROPOSE

To the Democrats of Texas.
County Chairman.


We are on the eve of another ma
tional campaign; in weeks time
headquarters will be opened at Chi
cago, with branch in New York and
possibly, on the Pacific slope.
Our campaign committees have
been named, our generals selected
and, speedily now, all things will be
pulled into shape for the battle to be
gin.
We have the candidates, in the
great commoner, that man of the plain
people, William Jennings Bryan, and
that other tried and tested represent
alive of the masses, John w. Kern, of
the state of Indiana.
We have platform of principles
which, written by the direct repre-,
sentative of the plain people, at Den
yer, must and does appeal to the ap-
proving sconscience of the country.
l submit, therefore, that our party
is to be congratulated upon the SUI
periority of its ticket, the excellence
of its platform of principles, and the
great wisdom exercised in the selec-
ton of the campaign leader, Mr. Mack
of New York
But while all of this is true, it must
be borne in mind that it takes money
Of To
the legitimate expenses of a national
campaign, and right here is where
our troubles begin.
And it is where the enemy has the
best of us at the start
The protected and favored interests
will see to it that the treasury of the
republican campaign committee il
kept fattened with all that it needs
No one who noted the shameless re-
fusal of the republicans to place a
publicity plank in their platform will
for a moment doubt this.
Then the situation is:
Our party will have closed TO-
those sQIirces of campaign q
ions whence the other party will re
ceive in profusion, and, consequently,
we must rely upon the masses, the
people, to supply what is absolutely
needed.
The people wrote the platform al
Denver and named the ticket; now
the people must supply the means
with which to fight the battle.
Mr. Bryan and Mr. Kern appealed
recently to the masses for popular
subscriptions, and now the national
committee is supplementing that ap-
peal with a call upon the people who
want to see Mr.. Bryan elected.
And now, as a member of and rep
resenting the national executive com
mittee, l appeal to the democrats of
Texas, of all classes and conditions,
to respond to this call.
This is your fight; you can win it,
if you will supply the means.
| would suggest that a committee
be formed in every town and village
in Texas to canvass for subscriptions,
and | especially urge that every dem
ocratic newspaper in Texas take the
matter up.

Collecting Old Glass.

The destinations of old glass have
never rivaled those of old china, yet
the variety and beauty of even small
glass collection will surprise those
whose collecting thoughts have always
turned elsewhere, says House Beauti-
full
But glass is so colorless, oays the
devotee of blue Staffordshire. 1T looks
so insignificant when compared with
old blue" Quite true. But why com
pare it with blue china? Placed near
the rich tones of Clews or Wood it be-
comes quite vapid. But why group
glass and china together? The COM
bination is as incongruous as ivory
and eggshell porcelain, copper and
brass. The delicacy of glass makes
china seem heavy, and the deep tones
of china cause glass to become lifeless.
Glass needs a cabinet to itself, where
it will develop wealth of color pos
sibilities.
