TWELVE LITTLE men.
They Start a Box Of Christmas Things
On Its Way to the Orphans
Home at Dallas.

Yesterday afternoon a Herald man
met a procession of little boys, draw
ing small wagon with a very blk
box on it, and it was addressed to the
orphans home at Dallas. When ques-
toned they said they belonged to the
Aunt Janet Club, and that with money
they had earned they had bought the
contents of the box. Every one of
them looked happy, ard talked cheer
fully of the work they were doing.
Their club, they said, taught them that
it was wrong to speak unkindly to
their parents; that it was wrong to
tell stories, wrong to rob birds nests,
or be cruel to animals, etc. These
boys, if they follow the teachings of
their club, will make fine men some
day, and the example they set in
helping to care for the orphans should
be followed by all the grown-ups.

Doyle, 407 South Sycamore street,
Miss Fannie E. Walker and Mr.. Albert
Mathis Firebaugh of Austin were mar
ried; Rev. j. Kilgore of the Centenary
Methodist church officiating.
The home had been beautifully dec
grated in pretty flowers and vines,
and few OF the neighbors and the
family were present. 1t was a simple
wedding, but pretty. The bride was
one of the prettiest of the season, be-
ing in elegant travelling costume of
dark green, hat to match. Directly
after the ceremony good-byes were
said, and the happy couple departed
for their Austin home, followed by
best wishes and a shower of rice.
The couple were the recipients of
many elegant and costly presents.
After the ceremony the company
were served with delicious ices and
cake, and the brides cake was cut for
the ring, needle, penny, etc.

An IMPORTANT CALL
President ozment Makes An Appeal
to the Executive Committee of
the Board of Trade.

President Ozment of the Board of
Trade today sent out letter to each
member of the executive committee
Of the Board of Trade, urging him TO
be present at the regular meeting in
the club rooms this evening at the
usual hour. In the letter President
Ozment calls attention to some very
important matters in connection with
the work the Board is undertaking
for the good of the town, and urges
that these matters have the earnest
support and attention of the commit
tee. 1t is timely appeal, and the
Herald hopes as many of the commit
tee as possibly can will respond to
the call and be present at roll call
tonight. OF course, it must be remem-
bered that it is right now at Christ
mas time when many of the merchant
members OF the Board are very busy,
but there are others who are not so
occupied who can meet and carry out
the work of the Board. Palestine's flu
ture to large measure depends upon
the work of the Board of Trade and
it is WORK that cannot be neglected
or left undone. Be at the meeting

FEWER LYNCHINGs LAST YEAR.
Total Number OF Cases Little More
Than Half the Number of Previous

Total Number OF Cases Little More
Than Half the Number Of Previous
Year.
New York, Jan. Statistics re-
garding lynching in the year 1907
show, according to the figures COM
piled by a New York press associa-
ton, a total Of 4S. OF those who
were put to death by mobs, S6 were
negro men, three were negro women
and four were white men. The to-
tai is little more than half of that for
last year. Louisiana leads the list
with nine, all black men; Alabama
and Mississippi are tied for second
place, seven men, all negroes, having
been lynched in each state. In
Georgia four black men, one black
women and one white man were con-
demned to death by Judge Lynch.
Arkansas mobs put away three, all
black two of them being women.
Oklahoma mobs wreaked vengeance
upon three negro men. Maryland and
Texas each disposed of two negroes.
In Tennessee one negro was hanged,
and one white man each is place to
the credit of the lynchers of Missouri,
Iowa and Nebraska. 1t is note
worthy fact that only II, less than
half. OF the negroes lynched in the
south were charged with assault or
attempted assault, the majority Of
them having suffered death at the
hands Of mobs because they were sus-
pected of murder, robbery or other
crimes.

MATLOCK'S NUGGET.
Former PendltoD Roy Brought Out
Big Lump of Gold From Alaska.


The Portland Telegram tells the
following little story of Wesley Mat
lock, formerly of this city, but now
residing in Portland:
A man walked up to the counter Of
the Imperial hotel this morning and
smiled. Phil Metchen, jr., was be-
hind the desk. He also smiled. Then
he went to the big office safe. Out
came a strong box as large as a grip.
Mr.. Matlock dived down in the box
In one hand he brought a gold nugget
the size of good-slzed hen egg. This
he handed to the man who hadn't
said a word. Guests looked on in
astonishment. The man took the
wealth and walked serenely out Of
the door and down Washington street.
The nugget was so heavy that his
overcoat pocket sagged.
The man who had gained possession
of the gold just by smile is Wesley
Matlock. Several months ago he re-
turned from Alaska. With him came
this nugget, which he had found on
one of his claims He placed it in
the Imperial safe for safekeeping
Yesterday he told Mr.. Metschan that
he wanted it. This morning he walk
ed in the office, smiled and got it.
Smile! Some day you might be
taken for Mr.. Matlock or some one
who has a gold nugget in cold stor-
age.

While in the city from the national
capital, Congressman Ellis talks en-
tertainingly Of conditions in congress
and the prospect for legislation dur
ing the present session. Among the
laws which he feels will likely be
passed this session is the postal saw
ings bank law by which small deposit
ors may use the postoffice as a de-
pository and thus have the guarantee
Of the government back of their
funds.
Postmaster General George Won
Meyer is an ardent advocate OF the
law and is urging it before congress
with all the forces at his command.
Many leading congressman have been
won over to the measure and II Is tha
opinion Of Congressman Ellis that It
will be passed at this session unless
legislation becomes complicated in
some way.
AS to the prospects for legislation
for the northwest, Congressman Ellis
says that it is too early in the session
to make any predictions. Practically
nothing but organization was effect
ed before the holiday vacation and
after congress resumes next Monday
the session will get down to actual
work and results will follow.
AS to the financial furry, he says
that there are almost as many opin-
ions as there are congressman and
while there is a strong sentiment in
favor of some radical legislation by
which more expansive currency
may be furnished the country, yet
there is no distinct outline of a plan
by which the condition may be met.
Aside from a few factories which
have slightly reduced their force,
there is no noticeable effect of the
panic and it is the general sentiment
all through the east as far as he has
been able to observe, that all condi-
tions will soon be normal again, al
though there is feeling that the ap-
proach of a presidential election may
have some effect in continuing a
slight depression in certain lines
Congressman Ellis represents one
of the largest districts of any man in
congress, the second district of Ore
gon consisting of 16 large counties
and comprising about $1,000 square
miles. When he tells eastern coli
leagues Of the immense size and var
led interests of his district, much gen.
uine surprise is expressed. In many
instances congrssmen of his acquain-
tance are able to walk around the
borders of their district before break
fast where the district is composed
of some single ward in one of the
large cities.
All the northwest delegates are
working strenuously for river inn
provements but it is too early in the
session to make a guess as to the
outcome of their efforts as it is the
general belief that there will be much
and skirmishing in con-
gress by both parties. owing to the
approach of the presidential election.
However, this belief is based on the
action of former sessions under SINH
lar circumstances rather than upon
any apparent tendency along these
lines in the present session.
