PICTURE REVEALS
DIAMOND BEAUTY
SEEMINGLY IMPOSSIBLE Ac-
coMPLI IsHED IN PRINTED RE-
u PRODUCTION OF JEWEL.

There is no more talked of jewel
IN the world than the fateful Hope
diamond which recently passed into
the possession of the Washington
society woman who has defied super
stition in insisting upon wearing the
stone which has brought misfortune
and death to the royal personsges
and wealthy individuals who have
possessed it in the past.
The assertion that this diamond or
any ether diamond could be repro
duced on paper SO as to give an idea
of its iridescent beauty would seem
to be the height Of the ridiculous
and yet the picture of the Hope
stone which appears upon one OF the
many coiored plates Of Everybody's
Cyclopedia, an advance compliment
ary edition of which is now being
presented by The Journal and Tri-
bune to it's readers, is surprisingly
beautiful.
The care and artistic ability used
In creating a picture Of this great
diamond Is but an indication OF the
careful ingenious art used in the
comprising of a many-volumed cy-
clopedia into only I'VE volumes, en-
hancifg instead Of decreasing its
yalue by placing its facts where ev-
erybody can and win get them when
ever they wish.

AMONG WHO FOWLS

VERY SIMILAR TO THE DlREFuL
DISEASE THERE IN
1901.
ALL REMEDIES UNSUCCESSFUL
Specimens Have Been Sent to Wash

NEW YORK. Aug. 2S.-Reports
have just been received by the Amer
ican Game Protective Association, OF
New York City, that an epidemic
such as the sone which destroyed SO
many wild ducks in the neighborhood
of Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1901,
is again threatened in that territory.
The association has solicited the aid
of the Biological survey at Washing
ton, and through its Offices it is
probable that the Pathological Divi-
sion of the Bureau of Animal lrdus-
try will take the matter up and en-
deavor to discover way to check the
disease which has already killed two
million ducks in Utah, according to
the estimate of DR.. Fisher of the b.
illogical Survey.
A local sportsman has just written
that tenth Of the ducks which breed
in the mashes around Salt Lake are
now either dead or dying. So far. ev-
cry attempted remedy has been un-
successful. Two years ago, when the
water and marshes were literally
covered with dead and dying birds,
sportsmen spent much time and
money in trying to discover the
cause, but without avail. Specimens
sent to washington for examination.
revealed only the LESSONS accompany
ing coccidiosis, common disease Of
domestic fowl. but the authorities be-
lieve that more virulent infection
than that was responsible for the ep-
idemic.
It is thought that by having a man
on the ground to study the disease
this year, the government win be able
to determine fits nature and prescribe
a remedy.

HIGH TRIBUTE TO .
LEMvEl r. PA0GETT
BY An AUTHORITY
HIS EFFORTS SAVED APPRoPRi-
ALTON FOR AMERICAN
NAVY.
WAS AUTHOR OF LEGISLATION
That viii Mean Much TO the Protec-
tion and Advancement. Of One Of
the Greatest Interests Of the Gov
ernment-What Expert Says.

In its latest issue the Army and
Navy Register, one of the highest
class publication of the character in
the world and strictly non-partisan,
pays high and deserved tribute to
Congressman Lemuel P. Padgett, the
chairman of the House Committee
on Naval Affairs. It gives a iarge
measure Of credit to Congressman
Padgett for legislation passed at the
recent session of congress to pro.
vide adequate support for the Am
erican Navy.
The following is the article in
full:
Representative. L. P. Padgett,
chairman Of the House naval com
mittee, is responsible more than
any other. member of either House
or Senate for the results of naval
Legislation during this ,. session. He
overcame the prejudice Of his asso-
ciates in Congress against providing
an adequate navy, or at least a step
in that direction, and he has accom-
plished this by tireless industry,
thorough familiarity with the sttua.
ton, obtained by indefatigable re.
search; tact IN his relations with the
conferees on the naval bill courtesy
in debate on the. floor, courage of
convictions, and a refusal to lend
himself to any movement for paltry
advantages by a manifestation OF
false economy. No chairman Of the
naval committee has been beset by
such a combination Of untoward cir.
cumstances as was Mr.. Padge.t in
this session, where the politicians
were determined to enact legisla-
tion which would be OF value IN the
coming national campaign without
regard to the interest most directly
involved. His attitude on the sub
ject of Increase OF the Navy was a
liberal one, which did him great
credit It was due to him that the
House democrats reversed its caucus
ruling and made 1t possible for the
service to obtain one battleship.

SWALLOWS THE DEMOCRATIC
PLATFORM, WHISKY PLANK
BACK TAX AND ALL.
|fAVORs COUNTY JURY COMMISSION
10 Indifferent al to the Method Of
Nominating the Candidates, and. II
Nominated, Expects to Make Can.
vass Of the County. "

Among those who we're In attend
ance on the rally Monday was l.. H.
Hammond, of Mt. Pleasant, who is
the only announced candidate for the
democratic nomination for the lcgis-
lature thus far. He was in the Office
a short time In the afternoon and
when asked as to his preferences as
to the methods of nominating can
didates he stated that he didn't care
particularly, but that it seemed to
him that the delegated convention
would be preferable in view OF the
fact that it was SO much easier for
the candidates and for the people.
Being interrogated further in mat
tiers concerning the coming campaign
and the issues Mr.. Hammond brought
out the fact that he stood squarely
with the regular democrats and en-
dorsed the platform promulgated by
them at the convention on the 18th.
Eyes, you may say that ! am
squarely on the platform with regard
to the whisky question and all other
questions mentioned in it, and expect
to do what can to elect the ticket
both state and national" he said in
answer to the question If he accept
ed the platform without reservation
Tor explanation.
Should | be nominated and elect.
ed I expect to do whatever lies with
| in my power to secure jury com.
mission for Maury county, for | am
iof the opinion that this one thing
will help as nothing else can the
coKNction Of the petty violators that
are filing our court records daily"
Mr.. Hammond was then asked to
state his position with regard to the
right of appeal from the county Grim
|inal court direct to the supreme court
| of the state.
II am heartily in favor of 1t and
LIE It can be arranged without in any
way interrupting the official tenure
Of the present incumbents nor con-
ficting with any Of the other impor-
tant connections, / think 1t will be
one of the most beneficial arrange
ments that could be made for the
courts of Maury county. It would re-
Ilieve double costs, in my opinion, and
at the same time tend toward lessen
ing the possibility of the escape OF
merited penalties by the violators.
Should he get the nomination, and
| he doubtless will be one or the regu'
lar nominees, it is his intention o.
making a canvass of the county, and
this was one Of the reasons that ne
favored a delegated convention &c
name the candidates.

same? Because the small home and
small. farm are out in the open is no
reason why they should be taxed to
death, until every resource has been
exhausted to dig up the property that
is kept under cover.
We do not claim that the small
home and the small farm should not
be assessed at their full value, that
is not our point; what The Eagle is
contending for is that the large home,
the large farm, the large stock of mer-
chandise, money on hand, gilt-edged
notes and property of every other de-
scription should go on the tax rolls at
their full value.
If this were done then the tax rate
could be cut almost in half; or if not
deemed advisable to reduce the rate,
the city and county would have hand
somely increased revenues for street
improvement in the city and road and
bridge improvement in the county.
Let us have a square deal and every
yoke will be easy and every burden
light.

JUDGE BOARD ANNOUNCES

By reference to The Eagles an
announcement column this afternoon
will be seen the announcement Of
Judge A. G. Board, who is a candidate
to succeed himself as county judge of
Brazos county. The announcement is
made subject to the action of the July
democratic primaries.
Everybody in the county knows
Judge Board, and it is also known that
he has been county Judge for num-
Der of years. His administration of
the affairs of the office is an open
book, open to the inspection of all, and
upon this record he bases his claims
for reelection.
The people of the county are famil-
lar with the record of Judge Board
He has made a model county judge,
which fact is not denied even by his
enemies. The county finances have
been well managed, the county war.
rants never falling below par and
every man having a claim against the
county has always been able to get
it in cash.
The roads and bridges Of the county
have been improved from year to year,
and Notwithstanding the floods and
other disasters, the roads have been
kept up, the destroyed bridges rebuilt,
and many new ones constructed With
in the past few years a new steam
road making outfit has been purchased
which greatly facilitates the work of
road repairing and road making, and
in a verw few years will give Brazos
county a system of roads second to
none in the state.
The county paupers have been well
provided for, humanely kept and given
humane treatment, and every deserv-
