Once more does Burrell Oates
stand in the shadow of the gallows
as the convicted murderer of Sol
Aronoff, peaceable and law-abiding
citizen of the city of Dallas! For
the second time an Ellis county jury
has heard the facts, weighed the evil
dence, and returned q verdict of
guilty of murder and assessing the
death penalty. In the seven trials
of this negro. who has been adjudg-
ed guilty of murder in the first
degree by eighty-four qualified
Jurors. eighty-two of whom have
declared that the murderer should
be hanged as the penalty for his
cold-blooded crime, the state has in
; Cured an expense that runs high
into the thousands of dollars, and
every dollar of this money mas come
out of the pockets Of the people,
Five times the decree of the trial
courts and the expressed viii of the
people have been set aside because
of trivial technicalities, none of
which can be construed as material
The court, in the present trial of the
case has closely safeguarded the
RIGHT of the defendant and carefully
tracked the statutes. 1t is to be
hoped that at last the win of the peo-
pie, the blood of the murdered
citizen, which calls out for the pun
ishment of the criminal, are to be
answered, and an ugly chapter IN the
annals of Texas Jurisprudence be
closed

We can almost hear the whir OF
! the electric street cars as we write
this article. As the result of an earn
est campaign through this week
those citizens Of Waxahachie who
have interested themselves in the
matter OF the interGrban and street
railway proposition submitted some
/ months since by J, F.. Strickland
associates the Southern Traction
!. company has been made POSI-
~ble for Waxahachie to anticipate re-
I lief in the not far distant future, 1t
( has been fully explained in these
columns that it was only question
/ of very short time when our pres
! ent street railway service, as unsatis-
factory as it may be, would have to
be suspended for lack of equip
ment. Our mule car line, because of
its inability to render that quick SER
vice which is needed, has been eA.
tremely Improbable. It has required
patient effort to convince some of
the people Of the importance which
attaches to the proposition which
Waxahachie is now practically pre-
pared to accept, but after taxing de-
lay and provoking indifference oul
citizens have come through" To
those gentlemen who have done such
faithful service in soliciting stock
subscriptions this paper desires, on
the part of the whole town, to eX-
tend its warmest congratulations.
WaXahachie has been severely taxed
for subscription funds during the |
present year. A new dormitory for |
Trinity University called upon the |
citizenship for a donation of $25, 1000; |
to secure the Stone & Webster inter-
urban line from Dallas, WaxahachieI |
put up several thousand dollars, and
now the old town and the best people
on earth have put their shoulders To
the wheel and subscribed for $780,
600 stock in the Southern Traction
company proposition, thereby secur-
ing the building of another interur-
1an line into and through the city
md the building and operating o.
several miles of electric car lines

much money, but the benefit to re-
ult to the city and adjacent country

occurring this latest enterprise, you

course, such building will cos

 The prospective bride is a great lover of nature and leads a strenuous out of door life. With this preference of the e1npiimented guest iii mind, tine hostess searched fields and lanes for the flow CTS Of autumn. with the intention of transforming her veranda into an au- tumn bower The result was riot of flower colors, striking in their vivid loveliness
 Great clusters of golden rod com bined with the purple field flower now so much in evidence were banked every where and formed pillars of yellow flame with violet high lights at inter- vals about the veranda Giant iar- dineres held masses of blacl, eyed Susans, the deep yellow field daisy with black centers now in full bloom in ,be country.
 The whole air was so deligbtfulIv natural and so redolent of autumn that everyone voted 1t the success of the waning summer. and the honored guest was joyous over the subtle con cession to her tastes. When she wos requested to pull the ends of q dozen or more yellow ribbons dangling from rustic basket hanging over the center of the veranda and found at the end of each ribbon pretty piece of linen for her new nest she was quite the happiest girl one could imagine.

Living Without Brains

Man has been led to believe that his brain and his will were peculiar endow- ments which placed him at the head of the animal creation. We flattered our selves accordingly.
 Now comes along Prof. Jacques Loeb, of the Rockefeller institute, with some disparaging remarks about both that knock our self-conceit endways. Brains are superhuous and will power is only 'gslvanotropism." What a dizzy drop for the lord of creation! He has fallen back to place beside the tadpole, though he may still hope, remembering that Victor Hugo called him "the tadpole of an arch- angel"
 Dr. Loeb recently pictured at Geneva on
 me SlSnlhcance of Tropisms for Psychology" In his lecture he stated that most animals are built symmetrical ly, that is, with two exactly similar sides. They are chemically as well as strucrur-- ally symmetrical. Hence. if stimulated on. enc side more than another they tend to turn to the side affected until the stirnu- lation is the same on both sides. This is what heads butterfly to the light or tadpole toward the pole or an electric current. 'rhe desire Of the moth for the star is a purely poetic concept It is not desire or will but purely a chemical stirn- ulation. Small crustaceans placed in an aquarium which is derkened on one side and to which a certain amount of car bonic acid is added will invariably seek it's lighted side. The acid acts as a chemical stimulant
 Thus science robs us of some of our cherished traditions. The dog is no longer IAans faithful friend and man himself IS only stimulated automaton. If you don't ike these facts, why won can blame it on Loeb a name that has however. been synonymous with q sur- vival or much hard usage, quietly and heroically borne in the days of the big | stick.

Household Hints

When using bottle of glue the stopper may be prevented from sticking by rub ping a fresh one with a little lard or grease of some kind and using that in place of the old sticky one.
 Ground glass globes. whether plain or figured, will be brighter and winter ii, after being washed in soap and water, they are rinsed and then allowed to drain instead of being wiped. Save all the lemon hulls, drop them into the vessel in which you boil your tea towels and it will whiten them won derfully, and there will be clean fresli- ness about them that is desirable.
 
 Sew the skirt binding on the hem of your skirt before you press it. Pressing the goods fattens it, and it becomes difficult to fell the broad on a thin fabric without stitching through it.
