MRS. L. M. DEMPSEY DEAD.

On July 10Th at $50 p. m. the grim
reaper Death entered happy home
and took the fond wife and devoted
mother, Mrs. Addie b. Dempsey.
Addie Lotspeich Dempsey was born
in Sweetwater Tenn. She was of a
prominent southern family, who were
aEdent followers of the 'iStars and
I Bars. Her childhood was spent in
Tennessee, but at the death of her
mother, the family moved to Weather
ford, Texas. She was married to Col.
l.. T. Dempsey in Abilene, Texas at
the home of her sister Mrs. r. w.
Ellis. Col. Dempsey has held a re-
sponsible position with the I. & 2.

his bride to Marshall, where-with the
exception of few years-they have
since resided. Mrs. Dempsey is sur

ing a large class but later devoted
most of her time to the culture of her
voice, spending several months in the
home of her teacher, Mrs. Alfonso Mil
let of San Antonio and latter received
two years instruction under George
Sweet of New York. Mrs. Dempsey
possessed voice of unusual compass
enabling her to render the most diff
cult airs with ease aud her songs de-
lighted many audiences, not only in
Texas but other states. He musical
talents combined with her beautiful
face and figure made her a popular

GREAT DAY FOR THE
JOHNSON CITY GUN CLUB

The exhibition of fancy rifle, shot
gun and revolver shooting on the
grounds of the johnson City Gun Club
on Tuesday, afternoon was really moth
ing short of the marvellous. Mr.. and
Mrs. Ad Topperwein, of San Antonio,
Texas, were the interesting performers,
and as a member of the club stated to
our representative. "There is nothing
those people can't do with rifle or
shot gum" Such difficult feats Is
shooting small marbles, eggs, stones,
etc, thrown in the air, breaking several
thrown at one time, with rifle; shoot
ing from all positions, such as kneel-
ing, shooting backward, and Mr.. Top
perwein even hit every target while
standing of his head; shooting potatoes
cards and the like from each others
hands; and many more such feats were
shown. Mrs. Topperwein broke 80
clay pigeons out of 100, and her revol.
yer shooting was certainly a revelation.
In addition to their clever shooting, the
genial manner and charming personal
ity Of Mr.. and Mrs. Topperwin made
them many friends in the city.
The members of the Gun Club held
their usual tournament on the same
day, and showed up in fine shape be-

The Shame Of 1t All.

Up to this time we have seen NO
statement as to the expense account
OF either Senator Chiffon or Senator
Watson, but that Of John r.. Nc.
GraW handed to the secretary OF
state and made public through the
ipress. 1T would be interesting tc
see such comparison as Is sug.
Sested by Senator Chiffon. 1t has
been rumored that Senator Watson
spent considerable sum in the cali
Vass, and one of the arguments adj
vanced in favor Of bringing him for
ward as candidate for reelection
IS that he would again spend a con-
siderable sum.
When Senator Chiffon made that
COM lnatlon with Watson, he went
directly against the wishes Of nine
tonths Of the democrats Of the STATE
for we feel safe in saying that not
more than one-tenth, if that many,
desired the election Of Watson.
The election Of Watson was the
shame Of democracy, coming espe-
cially as 1t did on the heels Of a DO
litlcal revolution whose main object
was the overthrow of just such
methods Of debasing the ballot.
II Senator Chiffon had refused
instead OF counting an alliance with
watson, he would have stood on a
higher plano Of politics.
That bribery Of members OF the
legislature was furtively attempted
IS beyond question; but it. is impos-
s1ble to say who made the attempts
or In whose favor they were made.

excuse the corruption of the Demo-

out the taunt, why do they not con-
test the validity Of the election of
the two United States senator's from

was made. Possibly he did know
the reply-that might be made and
sought to anticipate it's effect. How
ever that might be, Mr.. Chiffon can
rest assured that he and Senator
Watson will not be allowed to oc-
cupy their purchased seats in the

erection of a building devoted exclu-
sively to pathological work, and Sill
600 for the necessary nurses, clinics
and assistants. An electric ambulance
to cost $1,000, is asked for, to take
the place of the present horse-drawn
vehicle. An ice plant, to cost 1900,
