GOSSIP ABOUT SECOND PLACE
There Is No Stampede For Post of
Lieutenant Governor.

Austin, Texas, July 19.-While the
crop of ayowed and prospective candi-
dates for chief executive of this state
is more than ample, the office of lieu
tenant governor seems to be going
begging, so to speak. There is so
far only one real candidate for the
office and that is Judge A. S. Haw-
kins of Midland, a former member of
the legislature, who made quite a
record for himself during his tenure
of office. Then there is Representa-
tive Lee of San Angelo, who is a
member of the stat penitentiary in
vestigation committee. Mr.. Lee ap-
pears to be undecided He was ask
ed the other day if he intended to
make the race, but evaded the direct
question by declaring that it was too
hot at present to discuss politics. He
may be feeling the political pulse be-
fore he finally decides to enter the
political arena for this office Rep.
resentative F. F. Hill of Denton is
also mentioned, but no official nor
even semi-official declaration on the
subject has been obtained from the
gentleman from Denton.

LOST $500 IN CASH.
Woman Was Carrying Proceeds of
Sale of Home In Her Hand Bag.

Houston, Texas, July 19.-Mr. and
Mrs. S. Adams, recent arrivals in
Houston from Mobile, Ala, played in
hard luck Sunday afternoon while out
for a trolley ride over the city. Be-
fore leaving their Alabama home
they had disposed of their residence
property, and when they arrived in
Houston, they still had $1,000 that
they had received from the party who
purchased the place. When they
reached Montgomery and Hogan,
where they were to transfer to go to
Highland Park, the hand bag in which
Mrs. Adams carried the money was
missed and it has not as yet been
found.
Mr.. and Mrs. Adams have offered
$500 reward for the return of the
money and the hand bag to them, but
the chances are that the bag contain
ing the money was taken from Mrs.
Adams hand by some one of the ex-
pert crooks now operating in Hous-
ton, and that the money will never be
returned to it's rightful owners,

In the middle '7Os. They have been free
from the disturbing ellen ents which were
always manifest up to the time OF the
death of Sitting Bull at Standing Rock
agency eighteen years ago. They regard
the coming OF the white man to settle the
3.0oO.OO0 acres they have coded as the one
thing necessary to give their own holdings
substantial value and they have held many
powwows during the winter In which they
discussed means Ct making the opening OF
the reservation profitable to themselves.
It is taken for granted on all hands that
this, the last great tract OF the Indian land
to be opened in the United States. will at
tract a greater concourse OF people than
has ever been seen at a like event. The
immense extent Of the territory to be opened
and Its known fertility has already i'm
pressed prospective settlers to the extent
of bringing a lot OF people to this point.
OF course no one will be allowed on the
reservation until It Is formally opened. but
there has been a good deal OF spying on
the promised land this winter. The younge
Indians would be glad enough to show the
country to the people, but they are pro-

hibited from doing this. The prohibition
however, does not extend TO sending out
Information, and ss there are many Carlisle
graduates among the Cheyenne River
Sioux. a good deal of information is going
out through the mails. Scores Of letters
are received every week by the postmaster
at lie Beau. and he is enough OF an enthus-
last to have established a sort OF bureau
for the dissemination Of such Information.
When the Ice goes out OF the river in
the spring. It is probable that a good many
OF the Indians will establish themselves
here and make ready for the reception OF
the whites when they come in the fall.
The little town OF Le Beau has grown
tremendously during the winter. under the
stimulus OF a general acceptance OF the
probability that there will be a United
States land office established here, and
because Of the fact that this is the nearest
point to the coded land. The railroad Off
cials expect to bring 5000 people in here
during the late summer and fall and from
preparations that the Indians are making
!. is evident they quite share this belief.

How the Law Discriminates
Against the Poor Man

The report of the committee on GRIM
inal law reform, of which Oscar j.
Cushing of San Francisco is chairman,
was read. 1t said in part:
Nothing in the administration of
criminal law is so impressive as swift
ness and certainty. Consequently moth
public as lame and hating procedure
IN the trial courts, disagreement of
5uries and delays and reversals for
apparently technical reasons on appeal.
Such things weaken public confidence
in the administration of the law dis
courage sheriffs, police and prosecuting
onncers and encourage criminals and
One of the worst features of the situ-
alton is that with the ordinary friend
less criminal without means the Ia W
operates with reasonable swiftness and
punishment is fairly certain: but when
a man with the means to employ able
counsel is brought before the courts
and the trial is beset with DELAYS the
jury is apt TO disagree and. il a con-
viction be secured, it is likely to be set
aside on appeal.
