Of lectures and speeches and his first
engagement of this tour will be at
WaXahachie Monday night. This
will also be his first visit to Ellis
county to make speech and as he
has scores of admirers here it Is
quite likely that he will be heard by
one of the largest crowds ever as
sembled in the auditorium. His en-
gagemeut here has been widely ad-
vertised and thoHe who have the lee
ture in charge have been advised
that people are coming from every
section of Ellis county, 1t is under
stood that several automobile par
ties will come from Ennis. Italy,
Milford, Midlothian, Palmer and
Ferris will likewise send large dele
cations.

A NEW STATION ON KATY
Solon Is Name of Switch Construct
ed Between Here aud Stcrrett.

Solon is the name OF the newest
fstation on the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas. This is the name that has
been given a switch which was con-
structed between here and Sterrett
Friday and was selected as a compli-
ment to John Scion, prosperous
| farmer near whose place the siding
| has been located. The new track Is
| one mile and a half in length and is
part of the double track system
which the Katy will soon have ready
| for service between WaXahachie ana
Dallas. More than eight miles were
constructed last spring but the WORK
was suspended some time ago on
account of the appropriation for that
purpose having been exhausted. ii
will probably be several months be-
/ fore additional funds for that work
will be available and then the dou-
lble tracking of the line will be push
! ed to completion.

Another example here of the
fact that there are some compen-
Stations to being born outside roy
|alty. Here Is a royal couple
whose marriage has made all sorts
of complications-for them and
other people.
Prince Alphonso of Spain, a
cousin of the king, and son of that
Infanta Eulalie, who visited this
country during the Columbian ex-
position in 1892, wanted to marry
Princess Beatrice of Coburg. So he
did marry.
Then watch and see what hap
|pened:
Prince Alphonso was in wrong
for marrying a protestant, and
Princess Beatrice for marrying a
Catholic. They had to flee to Paris.
King Alphonso was in wrong
with the church party for permit
ting the marriage, and in wrong
with the opposite party for BAN
ishing the royal lovers from the
country.
A near revolution, yards of dip
lomatic correspondence among
European courts, official anger
among people who are personal
friends-these are some of the re-
suits of Alphonso and Beatrice be-
ing titled people instead of folks
like US.

PEACE RESTORED.
1T ME[|LLA

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
MADRID. Aug. 4.-Compara-
tive peace reigns at Melilla today,
according to advices received here.
The government believes that the
worst fighting is over and that
the tide has turned in favor of the
Spaniards.
General Marina reported today
that he did not expect to make
any aggressive movement for sew
era1 days, but that at the end OF
that time he would again attack
the Moors entrenched on Mount
Guguru. These tribesmen hold a
strong position on the mountain
and the Spaniards have met dis
astrous reverses in attempting to
storm It.
Marina is confident now, how
ever, that he will be able to take
the enemy and is preparing for
another attack. His message
stated that he did not expect SO
great opposition as he encounter
ed before and that the fighting
would soon be over.

ENGINE FALLS
OF TRESTLE

An engine used by the Milwau-
kee company was left standing on
the trestle near the passenger sta
ton last night, and some time dur
ing the night the air leaked and,
the brakes becoming loosened. the
engine ran off the track and fell
into the ditch at the end of the
trestle, a distance of rs feet. A
Northern Pacific wrecking car
raised the engine to the track
again and no great damage was
done.
