Ruby Most Valuable Gem.

The most precious of all jewels Is the ruby, and not the diamond, The most valuable of all rubies is the rare pigeon blood, sort of red-purple that sparkles and glitters in a marvellous fashion. The ancients treasured rubies far above diamonds, as is shown by by tn preference to the jewel in the Bible
 There are two sorts of recognized rubies-the oriental, or true ruby, and the spinel ruby. The former is the red variety of that scarce material. corun- dun. The spinel rub is composed of eluminate of magnesia. Rubies vary from pallid rose red to cochineal, anl finally pass into the class of the purple red or pigeons blood.
 The greatest of the true rubies have come from Burma and from India, and have been found in very constricted 1tlons of these Asiatic countries An occasional spinel ruby has been found in Europe and the United States, and several fine stones have been obtained 1 from South America The most histor ic ruby is the one in the center o ! the great diamond cross in the statt

Going Out For Keeps.

Is there any one who will not, when he mays save a few dollars ?
 You know we are going out of business. All our stock is being sold at cost-not over and not below, and there is a good deal left-things that everyone who eats, and lives, needs every day in every month.
 We are anxious to close it out and you are going to buy it from some. The others will be here after we leave, and we ask that you will let us have your orders.
 Come up and see what we have.

The Good Roads Fever.

The Dallas News says Tarrant county is going to vote again on the proposition to sell million dollars bonds and build modern roads with the money. The road building fever is spreading in all parts of the United States. It does not prevail in the south to the extent that it does in the more northern sections of the country, but the fever is work ing even in the south, as IS shown by the road conventions held in the different states, once in a while, and in the newspaper accounts of increased agitation of the subject and the greater care used in the construction of roads. One or two states are considering the issue of bonds for statewide highway systems, and others endeavoring to de- wise means by which road-work may be accomplished in prac- tical way with convict labor. Now and then county will take the bull by the horns, like the Tarrant county people propose doing, and as many of the coun- ties in Oklahoma have done, and % at highway making in a way that will produce lasting results. There is no necessity to talk about the desirability and the economy of good roads. That is acknowledged. What is needed is to build our road systems on lines that will ensure permanent benefits. That must be done un- der scientific supervision, and can be done only with plenty of means.-Fort Smith Times-Re- cord.

having no conception of the word
fear" He was five feet, ten inches
in height. and weighed more tnan zoe
pounds. He feared no man. and Il is
believed this intrepidlty might have
cost him his life but by what means

receiver the past three years. is 10 b,
disposed OF here tomorrow under fore
closure sale. The road comprises /.
l59 miles Of line In Texas and is CON
trolled in the interest az the Missouri
Pacific.
Many reports regarding the prob
able future of the property have been
circulated since the road was ordered
sold last fall One report was 10 the
effect that the state of Texas would
buy In the property. while another
had II that Booker r. Washington and
coterie of negro financiers were 10
acquire the road and operate it with
negro labor exclusively.
As a matter OF fact, however, there
appears to De little doubt as TO the
disposal that win be made OF the
property. II is regarded as settled
thing that the third mortgage bond
holders. including George j. Gould and
interests allied with him, will bid i'm

reorganization. The Texas Railroad

Now Believed That Compromise
Will be Reached, Providing
Tariff Of About Five or
Six Cents Pound
PROVIDE REDUCTION ANNUALLY
BY Means Of Proposed Revision Raw
Material Would Eventually Be Ad-
mitted Free-cut in Manu-
factured Goods.

Washington. d. c.. May l5.--The
Democratic members OF the ways and
means committee of the House today
began drafting a revised tariff sched-
ule on wool, which will be submitted
to the Democratic caucus for ratltica-
tlon.
That the wool bill will be ready for
caucus probably within week was
the opinion OF Democratic leaders.
Advocates of free raw wool were not
as confident today as they heretofore
had expressed themselves that the re-
vised schedule would place raw ma
terial on the free list Extraordinary
pressure has been brought to bear ny
conservative leaders to secure the
unanimous approval of n compromise
bill. and these leaders insist such a
bill would meet caucus approval. Such
a bill might provide tariff of about 8
or cents a pound on raw wool. with
the provision OF a cent reduction each
year until the raw product eventually
would go on the free list and a cut OF
forty to fifty per cent in manufactured
woolen goods.
The house is not i'm session today.
The Senate finance committee re-
sumed it's hearing on the Canadian
reciprocity bill, and later when the
Senate met 1t continued the dead
locked effort to elect a successor to
Senator Frye as president pro tenn
