ELLENDALE.

Thursday night brought forth an event
that will dwell long and forcefully in the
minds of our citizens, and be handed
down to their posterity as the greatest
disaster that has so far blotted the fair
history Of our little town, of which we
are so justly proud. About 10 O'Clock
the writer was awakened from peaceful
slumber to see a reflection of a great FIRE
on our window. At once we saw the
mighty flames from gasoline tank shoot
high into the bright and still atmosphere
and behold it was our cannery on FIRE.
In very few minutes there were hun
dreds of men, women and children on
the scene to witness the destruction of
that healthy industry, which was the pro-
duct of the subscriptions of the farmers.
Two years ago this factory was sold by
the shareholders to Mr.. Shanahan, Of
Belle Air, Md, for meagre sum, in or
der that it might be enlarged and i'm
proved. Mr.. Shanahan had Just finished
a 500 additional building and placed in
the plant about Sl200 additional and i'm
proved machinery for this years work.
There was also about 1OOO cases Of sani-
tary goods ready for shipment. We learn
that there was 5000 insurance on the
buildings and no more. 1t is difficult to
learn how the fire calght, as no motive
can be ascribed for the destruction of such
flne and healthy industry. Mr.. Shana-
han is here in an Effort to buy more land
to build new factory that will be ade-
quate for canning all kinds of fruit and
vegetables, and is exacting of our farm
ers guarantee to grow sufficient of these
products for his supply. He has also
agreed to haudle or dispose of all his this
year $ contracts. Mr.. Shanahan is nego-
tiatlng with Col. Dave Reed for such land
as be will require, and we hope that
Brother Reed will be generous and public
spirited in this matter and assure him
that our land in the vicinity is at his dis
posal if he can decide on a location.
The tomato season is very rapidly adj
coming to market. The crop bids fair to !
he bumper one in this vicinity Col. !
Benson, OF Fleatowu, with his neighbor,
Will Hammond, counted 124 nice ones
on one VINE and the average will run
about so to the hill How is that for
yield, and with no cannery
here it will mean large shipments.
There is nothing that gives us more
pleasure than to greet and shake the
warm and gentle hand of an old esteemed
friend, and when we met Captain KIM
mey on his home coming last week, our
Joy was most sublime To meet that no

MERIT SYSTEM IN SCHOOLS.

Have you ever known a teacher who
was a crank on the matter of promot-
ing children only on merit Who'll was
not also crank on not promoting
teachers on merit?
The merit system, as applied to
teachers, throws every teacher into a
fit who insists upon the merit system
when applied to her pupils. Such
teachers object to merit for teachers
on the ground that no superintendent
can be unbiase in his judgment, and
yet they get furious if you suggest
that they may be biased regarding a
child.
They say that a superintendent is
sure to play favorites, but they will
never forgive you if you suggest that
there is possibility of their playing

HOUSTON MARKET REVIEW.

Houston, Texas May 1.-THE rice
market, which has been lethargic for
months, was given severe shaking
Iup within the week by the report of
an export sale of 100000 bags of
rough The sale was made in Louis
lana, but it concerned Texas rice, and
in consequence the entire Southern
market was bouyed to such an extent
that in some quarters it verged on eX-
element. The sale was for export in
ten days for Germany. The shipment
totals about 10000 bags of fancy
head rice and approximately $4,000
bags of second head. An increased
demand for rice from breweries also
is reported, and the whole has had the
incentive to greatly strengthen the
market.
| For the week in cotton new high
| level was reached, July of the old
crop touching 1881. Despite this rec
ord price there was little cotton Of
fered. This situation served 10 put
prices up Isaac points at the highest.
There is a belief current that the bull
crowd has the July delivery cornered
and is in a position to make shorts
pay a high price for covering. Other
conditions working towards higher
cotton prices were damp weather, IA
vorable cables and the expectation OF
bullish weekend figures, which
strengthened the futures market.
Later forecast of favorable cotton
weather in the western belt took off
the edge of this bouyancy.
The produce market has ruled very
quiet, there having been a light move
ment in all ines of goods. There were
more receipts of cantaloupes, selling
at $2.OOd250 per crate. Cucumbers
are in heavy supply and the price is
very low now.
There was no change in the fruit
markets. Apples have about played
out, only an occasional shipment COM
ing in. Winesaps are about all that
can be procured, and the price ranges
around $500 per box for them.
Strawberry receipts were light, The
supply of locally grown vegetables was
normal at the big market.
Eggs were firm and unchanged at
lac. Receipts are not too heavy.
Chickens were in light receipts, and
the demand was also reported poor.
Hens, the best, sold for $3.50 per
dozen. There were fine large fryers
on the market. which made $3.50.
There is nothing doing for country
butter
Bank clearings for the week, as re
ported by Bradstreet's, were $22,O9i,-

CABBAGE WORM.

Mr. Wilmon Newell, state entomol.
ogist of Texas at A. & NJ. college, says
that practical control of the cabbage
worm depends on early treatment.
When the cabbage plants are first set
out, or soon afterwards, they should
be sprayed with a mixture Of paris
green one pound to $50 gallons of wa.
ter, with two pounds stone lime added.
If the worms are killed while the
plants are small little damage win be
experienced later. However, paris
green must not be applied to cabbages
after they head on account of the dan
ger of poison remaining on them after
they are marketed
After the crop is off all stalks and
worthless cabbage plants should be
uprooted and burned so as to cut off
the breeding places of future genera

THE WIRELESS STATION
At A. { N. COLLEGE


Mr.. j. b. Dickinson, who has beer
at College several days installing the
wireless station (which he Is present
ing to that institution, called on The
Eagle Tuesday and talked interesting
ly OF his plans. He said the tower
would be completed and the instru
ments installed Wednesday, and that
the juice will be turned on at o'clock
Wednesday afternoon. The top of the
tower is about $50 feet above the
ground. II Is, said Mr.. Dickinson, the
greatest and most complete wireless
station possesse by any institution of
learning in the world. 1t Is his inten.
ton to present similar station to
the University of Texas, which will
enable these two great Texas institu.
tons to talk to each other at will, and
will be strong bond of union between
them Mr.. Dickinson does not claim
to be unsellish in these important con
tributions to education: he recognizes
the fact that the development of his
system of wireless telegraphy will re-
quire the services of hundreds of
young men, and his primary object Is
to secure these by having them edu-
Gated and trained for this special
work at A. & NJ. college and the Uni
versity of Texas. He Is confident that
he will have employment for all thus
taught and trained for years to come.
In regard to the Bryan station, Mr..
Dickinson said that he would be pre-
pared to install 1t as soon as a day
current of sufficient voltage can be
secured, which he thinks will be about
the first OF September. But in this
connection he made an announcement
of great interest. He will leave for
Boston in few days. and when he
returns he will bring two wireless
telephones, one for Bryan and the
other for A. & NJ. college, which will
be put in operation at once. This new
means of communication will be OPP

after.
Mr. Dickinson Is as enthusiastic as
ever in carrying out his great schemes;
defamation and persecution have not
dampened his ardor in the least. He
says it will be only a short time till
Bryan can send messages by wireless
to any part of the great Southwest
and can receive communications with.
out relay from Belize, from Panama,
and, most important of all, from Cape

to us that what he has already &C,

ity TO do what he promises.

KANSAS CITY LIVESTOCK.

Kansas City Stock Yards, May ID
Cattle receipts here last week were a
little larger than the previous week,
but were still moderate, and less than
the corresponding week a year ago.
The market advanced 1OG15c for the
week, to which might be added 10c
more on account of the very good fills
secured all week. The rise in price
and the general action of the market
were acceptable to shippers, and had
the effect of shutting off many of the
steers that were being sent in prema.
turely Whatever hopes arose in the
breasts of cattle feeders last week
received some encouragement today;
run nearly 10000 here, and heavy at
Chicago; market steady to 10c lower,
worst on heavy steers, The backset
today is not regarded seriously, and
a general uplift in prices is antici-
pated in the next few weeks. Packers
anticipate this, as they have already
served notice of an advance in whole
sale price of meats effective in the
near future. The best price paid for
heavy steers last week was $610
yearlings made $6.15 and heifers $6.O5.
Heavy steers reached $6.O5 today, bulk
of steers selling at $5.50@5.90, cows

Mr.. r. j. Record, president of the
Lamar County Good Roads Associa-
ton, and banker at Paris, Texas,
whose motto is: when business in
! terferes with building public roads,
quit your business" Mr. Record quit
his bank and managed the campaign
for issuing 100000 in road bonds in
the Paris precinct of Lama rcounty
and carried the election by a vote of
13 to |. A full vote was polled.
The Good Roads Association of La
mar county began its work by request
ing the federal government to send an
engineer to Paris and inspect the
roads in the proposed district and esti.
mate the cost of construction. The
report submitted by the government
expert showed 1t would cost $4,000 per
mile to permanently improve the road
and campaign on that basis for
bond issue of 100000 was opened
Any community in Texas can secure
a similar service from the government
free of cost by writing Mr.. l.. w. Page,
department of public highways, Wash.
ington, ID. c.
A petition for a bond election was
the next step necessary and the law
required only fifty signatures; one
thousand signers to the petition were
secured.
The master stroke in the campaign
was sending a committee of four men,
bers to adjoining counties to inspect
roads recently built by bond issues
and to talk with farmers along the
route. The committee was composed
of two business men who favored the
bond issue and two prominent farm.
ers who were leading the opposition.
