1907 the demand for manufactured cot
ton products was so great that orders
were placed for delivery we'll along TO
the end Of 1905. To-day these goods are

When a contract is made, its terms
include a very exact description OF the
goods As matter OF fact. for many
years past, the goods have not come
up exactly to specification; and some
years ago number OF the large con-
verters got together and agreed not TO

With the price OF meat soaring sky

the puzzle OF the panic has one more
interesting contrast.

The republican party had held its
state convention and nominated a

without candidate. The different
factions held conferences and tried
to agree upon some man to head the
ticket, but no one could be found
upon whom all the factions could

hundreds of armed citizens marched
about them. Frequently the mob was
within ten PAGES of the officers and
negroes, but the latter outwitted
them and by lying in the mud and
water and creeping through the un-

through the night and shortly after
8 o'clock this morning the sheriff

Sheriff Landry worked clever
scheme to spirit the two negroes out
of Beaumont. After the night spent
in the swamps, he went back into
the city and left the prisoners with
the deputies, who hid beneath a
church. The sheriff boarded the train
and gave instructions to the trainmen
to stop at Hamilton. Upon arriving
at that point the negroes were hus-

was experienced on the way to Gal

chic assembled at the Katy depot

istic Texas greeting and then escort
ed to the Rogers hotel where ar
rangements had been made for his

subject of The Pleansantness OF
American Life" He was heard by a
large and appreciative audience
Quite a number of people were in
vited to seats on the stage. Governor
Buchtel spoke for one hour and
thirty minutes and during the entire
time he held the people under the
lmagic charm of his beautiful word
pictures of an idealistic American
life. He contrasted conditions in
Amerca with conditions in European
countries and showed that nobility
ana pleaSantneSS or life are more
possible in this country than any
country on earth. He spoke OF the
religious freedom which exists here
and said that nowhere else on earth
could such delightful peace be found
among the various sects. He declared
that the average man had larger
life in America than In any other
country of the world.
The Chautauqua will close tonight
with an entertainment by Prof. J.
Ernest Woodland of Rochester, N.
~. Prof. Woodland will give dem
onstration in modern science. His

pleased with it will have their money
refunded.

a square deal. These conditions were
on the ticket. Harmony was not only
restored in the republican ranks but
many democrats pulled off their
coats and went to work for my cleo
ton and as a result I carried the
state by about 10000 majority, the
greatest ever known in the history
of the state. | am now serving my
first term and shall retire at its ex-
piration. The university needs all my
time and attention.
Governor Buchtel is a minister in
the Methodist Episcopal church and
he breaches from one to four times
every Sunday. He said that by being
a minister he vas deluged with PEI
titions for the pardon of convicts or
for communication of sentences of
criminals, but he was little slow to
exercise the pardoning power. He
said all applications were given a
careful investigation and he always
tried to grant pardon to the right
man. He said he had received quite
number of petitions asking for a
communication of the sentence of
Giuseppe Ala, the Italian, who MUIR
dered a Catholic priest and who was
executed in Canyon City Wednesday
night. In this case he refused to in
terfere, believing that justice could
only be satisfied by the execution of
Ala. He said the murdered priest
was a German and had never been
in Italy, and that his assassination
was a cold blooded affair.

San Antonio, Texas, July 1.-THE

STRAW VOTE TAKEN ON TRAIN
Democratic Bob Williams Had Ma

The train was polled by Mr.. r. K.

has invited dozen big democratic
business men, who were never known

Walla, announcing the democrats
had carried the city, a republican

REVOLUTION OVER
General E. A. Lever Declares
that the Government Can

A BLESSING IN DISGUISE
Recent Troubles VIII Show Central
Americans that United States
Won't Stand Monkeyine.
Peace Soon to Come.

Mobile, Ala, July 17.-General E.
A. Lever, a resident of Honduras, in
an interview yesterday on the insur-
rection there, said the Davilla ad-
ministration was strong and amply
able to sustain itself.
Gracias, which was captured by a
small body Of displaced Office hold
ers and their henchmen, was evacu-
ated by them on the approach Of a
small government force, for or the
mere notice of the arrival of the ad-
ministrationists they became panic
stricken and fled in disorder across
the Guatemalan frontier, said Cen
eral Lever.
Taken altogether, l am firmly
convinced that the recent events
which occurred in Central America
are really a blessing in disguise. The
several governments will find to
their cost that the United States and
Mexico are not disposed to look idly
on and permit the men VINO rule San
Salvador and Guatemala to render
worthless the good work done in
Washington by the Central Ameri
can commission, and will use the
big stick" with vim, should these
two little presidents prove recalci
trant.
"This frustrated insurrection will
also result In rendering the Dayiili
administration in Honduras firme
and more powerful. Thus the Amer
can friends of that republic and for
eign investors in Central American
enterprises may at once put thei
shoulders to the wheel and pusl
their affairs forward to a happ.
consummation, with certainty tina
the era of successful political dis
turbances in Central America ha

WORKING MAN
FEEDS SCORES
John Morgan Quietly Furnishes
Free Meals Daily to

HELPED BY HIS DAUGHTER
Serves Breakfast and Dinner Of Soup
Bread and Coffee to All Who
Come-For Men Out
Of Work.

New York, July 17.-One hundred
men day are being fed free of cost
by John Morgan, himself a poor
working man, at 102 Christopher
street, and so quietly that not even
residents of the neighborhood have
known what was going on. Every
evening at o'clock scores of hun
CRY men out of work appear in
groups of eight or ten and for a full
hour they come and go, crowding the
small room to it's full capacity.
Every man helps himself to soup and
bread and coffee without stint, and
he is at liberty to obtain his break
fast and dinner there for a reason
able time until he shall have a
chance to get work.
Mr. Morgan has been carrying on
the work on small scale for the
last two or three years, but the de-
mands on him have increased so that
his accommodations are now taxed
to their full capacity. He has no
money and has found cooperation in
+ the work from his daughter who
| helps him to pay the rent while he
collects food for his proteges as besi
he can. The expense of renting suit
able accommodations Is divided be
tween them and for their provision
they largely depend upon the bount,
among whom Mr.. Morgan makes hi
rounds at o'clock every morning.
