Barcelona Republic.

London Aug. 1. "A dispatch
received here by news agency
from Cerbere, France, reports
that the revolutionaries have
proclaimed a republic in BARGE
Iona and that the Fortress Mont
iuich is constantly firing upon the
districts occupied by them.
Telegraphing from Cerbere
Sunday, the Times correspondent
says the revolutionists are the
masters of all the villages in Cata-
lonia, having deposed the authori-
ties. He adds that the Repub-
lican flag has been raised at Pal

GERMAN INDEPEN-
DENCE DAY
Celebrates in Grand
Style.

Monday, August 2, was an
other big day in Sinner. The
crowds commenced gathering
early and by 10 o'clock the
streets were packed with people.
The procession gathered at the
opera house and formed on the
Patton square. Two flag bearers,
one carrying the American flag
and one the German led the pro-
'cession. Next came General
Hermann on horseback, who
made fine appearance. The
Sinner firemen's band was next
in order followed by the different
lodges, some in uniform and
some in lodge regalia. A beauti-
full new American flag was car
ried by the Catholic society. The
Sinner Hobo band was there
in wagon drawn by a yoke of
oxen. The Vlastence Farmers
band was also in line and fur
nished some good music. The
procession was fully one-half
mile long.
The crowd at the park was an
overflow, buggies and hacks were
'hitched all around within four
blocks Of the park. The crowd
at the dance at night was so great
that there was little pleasure in
dancing, and was kept up until 2
o'clock a. M; 341 dance tickets
were sold.
Mr.. Albin Hummel delivered
the address of welcome at the
park in a neat and appropriate
style. Hon. August Iaxthausen
OF Houston was the orator ofthe
day and handled his subject in a
|flass telly mannef
The crowd was one OF the larg-
est ever seen in Sinner, fully
1000 people being wsesent at the
park. When Sinner undertakes
anything in the way of a celebra-
ton, it is always strictly up to
date.

Yoakum News.
(From the Yoakum Herald,


Philip Welhausen returned
home this afternoon after several
DAYS absence from the city on
business of Importance.
Rev. Chapman of Sinner was
in the city this afternoon on his
way to Terryville to attend
quarterly conference at tn at
place.
Ed. Niemann Of Sinner passed
through the city this afternoon
en- route to Floresville.
This writer is not an expert on
Socialist speakers, but if the
party depends on the arguments
that were used in last nights de-
tense of that party, it will be a
long time before the golden age
of socialism will be ushered in.
1t is a safe conclusion that no
converts to the cause were made
last night. If a few more of our
public men who can make public
speeches will do as Will Bagby is
doing, it will not be long before
| Socialism will live only in memo
nv. Just some one to show up
it's fallacies-that is all that is
needed.

KILLED HIMSELF
AFTER HAVING MUIR
DERED HIS WIFE.
j. M. Ennis, Living Near
Seymour, Orphaned
His Children.

SEYMOUR, TEXAS, July 81 j. M.
Ennis, well to do farmer, living
about six miles east of Seymour, killed
his wife and himself early Friday
morning. lie fired two shots from
shotgun at his wife as she was lying
in bed, neither of which took effect.
These shots awabed the children and
they saw Ennis and his wife scufling
over the gun, when it was discharged,
the entire load taking effect in her
bowels.
She walked out on the gallery and
put her arm around her little girl and
said: 81 am killed." and soon died.
Ennis ran out into sorghum patch
nearby and one Of his little boys went
out and brought him back to the
house. He looked upon his wife
few moments, then took a razor and
cut his throat, almost entirely sever
ing the head from the body.
No cause can be assigned for his
act. Evidently he was insane at the
time. This condition was probably
brought on by severe spell of sick
ness, about year ago and from which
he seemed never to have entirely re-
covered. They leave a family of eight
children, the eldest oil whom is a girl
IA years old.

THE RED CROSS STAMP.

Those, who receive mail in any
quantity, must have already no.
ticed, at this season, the stamp
bearing a red cross. 1t has no
value in carrying mail, but the
one cent it costs is the buyer and
users contribution to the fight
against tuberculosis. The fund
thus raised will be devoted to
that purpose. The stamps are
used exclusively at Christmas
time and are consequently called
"Christmas stamps. 1t is par
ticularly appropriate at this sea-
son, when if at any time of the
year the heart, however bowed
by care and sorrow, can throw
off it's burdens, and assume the
tone and smile of cheer, yet
can cOnSecrate its lighter mood
by this assistance to those who
dwell constantly in the shadow
of sorrow. Again, the light
hearted, who know no care OF
sorrow, may well, in this way
