THE LIGHTING PLANT REPORT,

At a special session Of the Council
held yesterday evening at o'clock,
Anderson Offutt, electrical engineer,
and his assistant, Warren Johnson,
submitted report of the cost of a
lighting plant estimated at S3I0,579
complete.
In attendance were Mayor East
ham and the commissioners, Andrew
Queries and Leon R. Smith Of the
citizens committee, and a number OF
citizens.
The estimate is for plant much
larger than that Of the plant now
supplying the city with light and
possessing all the modern appliances
and for a greater population.
In itself the report is exhaustive,
but an opinion as to the cost and
other details must be reserved until
the report is scrutinized closely and
the estimate contrasted conserya-
lively with information and data in
possession of the committee, OBJ
tanned from reliable and competent
authority.
The purpose of the inquiry, which
has suggested the information sub
nitted by Mr.. Offutt, is municipal
ownership and operation of an cleo
tric light plant.
Any view of this issue expressed
at this time and before full data has
been reviewed and considered intel
Iigently, would be premature.

THE TEXAS ELECTION.

On the face of the returns the pros
il, Texas have been defeated by
majority of about six thousand in an
aggregate vote of more than four
hundred and sixty-seven thousand.
The ants had boasted majority
CT seventy-five to one hundred
thousand. The pros were equally
confident if less enthusiastic in their
claims.
The issue was on the proposition
to adopt an amendment to the Con-
stitution prohibiting the manufac-
ture or sale Of liquor within the
State.
In this contention the people had
been aroused as never before.
This result is one of the surprises
Of politics, and is evidence OF the
great and radical change which has
gradually taken place in a State
where few years since the Indul-
gence in intoxicants was almost gen.
eral.
This remarkable progress OF teili-
perance is not confined to Texas, but
II is growing everywhere, beng
strengthened by the realization that
the traffic in intoxicants is the great
est evil of the century, which must
and shall be suppressed in time.
In urging prohibition it is not IN
tended to restrain any man III MS
tendency to drink, but to make I'M
possible the saloon and the grog-
gerry.
The opposition to the traffic in in
toxicants is not sentimental, but is
dictated as safeguard to society,
as is the prohibition of the sale OF
poisons.
The opposition is growing for the
reason that the saloon and the grog-
gerry dominates the politics OF the
country and such evil influence is
damaging and damning to good gov
eTnment.
The vote cast for prohibition III
Texas is simply a prelude to a
greater and more intense opposition
to the traffic in intoxicants. II five
years since the result Of the cleo
ton had been forecasteds such pre-
diction would have been met with
ridicule. # at times the progress OF
prohibition has been checked, it has
gathered momentum from defeat,
and is stronger today than it was
yesterday and will become all-poW-
erfuI and invineible within the next
decade.
The prohibition movement is rev
olution against the greatest evil OF
the century, and it is the record OF
history that revolutions never retro
grade, but move on and on until re-
lief from oppression is obtained and
good is triumphant over evil.
The prohibitionists in Texas have
waged a gallant fight and have glor-
flied the cause even in defeat.

SUBSTITUTEDBY HUSBAND
Fearing That His Sick Wife Would
Not Survive if She Learned Her
Darling Had Passed Away This
Plan Is PuFsued.s

Three months ago a Dallas woman
lost her infant She was in feeble con-
dition and to tell her that the child
was dead it was feared would bring
about her death. Her distrated hus-
band substituted in place of the dead
infant one the same age and it was
adopted by him. Ignorant of change
the mother, happy in the care of the
little fellow, slowly regained health.
Unaware that the infant was not her
own, she lavished her love upon the
supposed child of her own.
For some reason members OF the
household feared the child was a ne
gro. Several months ago an infant
adopted by a Dallas woman and So
cured at Fort Worth proved to be a
negro and it is thought this preyed on
the minds of those interested With
outtelling the mother they consulted
with physicians. Inner circles of the
finger nails, where the flesh joins the
bones, were closely examined to see
color, said to be sure sign that one
is of African descent. mot negro, ~
the physicians reported TO the hus'
band; 'just as white as you are.
The child was restored to the sick
lady. When she had fully recovered
the developments in the case caused
the juvenile court to have the hus-
band inform his wife the child was not
hers He did so with reluctance, fear
ing the revelation might bring back
suffering and sickness. But the peri.
cd during which the infant had been
the woman's companion had been suf-
fcient to fill her with love for the lit
tie one, even though it was not hel
own, and she had grown to love the
child.
