call of our state committee. AT these
county mass meetings, county and
precinct chairmen should be chosen
and their names sent me at once.
Every county should have active of

quarters will work directly in the
matter of organization. distribution
of literature, sending out speakers
and getting out full prohibition

every county and precinct actively in

Precincts should either hold meet
ings before the 25th OF February or
be sure to have representatives at
the county meetings on that date to
aid in organization.
We will win our fight and drive
the saloons from Texas in July next
if prohibitionists do their duty indi-

Wedding in Indertaker's ParIor

San Antonio, Texas. Feb. .
Many romantic marriages take place
in this city. Some take the vow in
the historic Alamo, some in the old
Missions and recently a couple were
united in balloon soaring 1000
feet above the city But the climax
came last night when Wysong Grace
of Seguin and Mrs Maud Roberts of
this city were married in a morgue.
The ceremony uniting the couple was
performed in the front room of the
San Antonio Undertaking company's
office at $40 Blum street. 1t appears
that the meeting of Mr. Grace and
Mrs. Roberts was case of both be-
ing smitten at first sight. Two weeks
ago Mrs. Roberts was employed to
coach an amateur musical comedy
at Seguin. One of the members of the
cast was Mr.. Grace who it appears
was not slow in proposing marriage
and the climax indicates there was
a corresponding willingness on the
part of the woman. They came to
this city and knowing Mr. A. l.. Lud-
wig the proprietor of the San Anto-
Mo Undertaking & Elbalming Co.
asked his permission to have the
ceremony performed at his place of
business Their request. was granted
and DR.. J. w. Carhart pronounced
the ceremony that made them man
and wife.

STOCK PERISH FOR WATER.
Snow and Rainfall Short Five Years
in the Southwest

Associated Press Special
Ell Paso, Texas, Feb. 81 Follow
ing an unprecedented drouth of two
years, the snowfall for the winter
has been lighter in the south west
than for any period in the past half
dozen years, and with the soil al
ready dry and parched and barren
the prospects are not good for irriga-
tion water for the coming year
Deprived of the grass, many of the
cattle took to eating the priekly pear
the mammoth cactus that grows
on the plains and this killed many
of them.
Not only did the cattlemen suffer
but the pioneers of the so-called dry
farming system suffered. Follow
ing the three years of comparatively
heavy rainfall in 1905-06-07, these
pioneers from other states settled
upon land in the west expecting t.
make new homes for themselves,
only to be disappointed and to lose
practically all they had.
