Much Other Work.

Houston, Texas: -Represe
Lewelling of Dallas county while ad-
dressing the legislature on the sub
ject of prohibition, said:
There is so much of a material
character for the legislature to con-
slider, as the common schools, the ag-
ricultural and mechanical college,
the state university, ETC., that il
would be a calamity to introduce the
liquor question where it has no prop
er place.
There is no reason why a prohi-
bitionist cannot in good conscience
vote for candidate for speaker who
happens to be an anti-prohibitionis
there is equally no reason why an an
ti-prohibitionist cannot in good con-
science vote for candidate for spea-
ker who is prohibitionist. Provid-
ed at all times that the candidate, re-
CARELESS of his standing on that is
sue, occupies a proper attitude tow
ard the great questions which con-
front the legislature.
Texas needs above all things one
session of a legislature that is not
torn by di :Sensions over this perpet-
ual issue. There is so much of Wit
al Importance to the welfare of the
whole people that ought to be done,
that it is desirable in the highest de-
gree to eliminate that one question so
that the members can consider each
question upon its merits.
Let us hope we shall hear no
more of prohibition or anti-prohibi-
ton raucuses so far as the forthcom-
ing legislature is concerned. Quar-
reling over prohibition has been in
terdicted for the time by the COM
mand of the people. If there must
be prohibition caucuses, let them be
held at the conclusion of the session.

pect to be done has been accomplish

Train Kills John White. Jr.

John l.. White, Jr., of this city,
met a sudden and fearful death at
Dubuque on Thursday evening last
by being ground to pieces beneath a
train on the Great Western road. No
Que witnessed the accident and it is
not known whether he fell from a
and ran over. The scene of the &C
cident was in the upper part of the
city and the mangled remains were
sound about eleven O'Clock by a num-
Der of young men as they were re-
turning from skating. They notified
the coroner who, upon examining the
remains, found certificate of mem
bership in the Modern Woodmen
camp here in Waukon and bearing his
name. Miss Katie McGourity, the
night phone operator, was then called
by the coroner to ascertain whether
Mr.. White was absent from town or
not. 1t was found that he had de-
parted from here at noon that day
which bore out the coroner's suspic-
ion as to the identity of the re-
mains.
In it's account of the affair the
Times said that the body was in such
condition that if it had not been for
his Woodmen policy and his name on
his clothing, no one would have been
able to notify him. His head was
severed from the body and smashed
to pulp. One arm was cut off and
the lower extremities wer severed
from the trunk and badly ground up.
1t is believed that the train picked
him up several times, dragging him
for long distance. Demo

From the Angle of the Bug
By REUBEN a. LEWIS

7 INJECTING ambitious youngsters
into the clash. four Southern
\ league leaders are preparing for
the last lap of a gruelling cam
paign. The leaders are preparing to
Withstand the onslaught of their adver-
saries, while the denizens of the dis
enchanting cellar are preparing to
forge upward and finish with colors
flying.
The hopeless Pelicans are reclzlessly
showing youngsters into the positions
of the wanton veterans. Within
few days the willy Dutchman, Frank,
will inject seven youngsters in the
game With their arrival the falling
grizzled warriors viii be forced to de-
part.
The weary players are being forced
from the Nashville battle array Three
veterans will fall when as many
youngsters arrive. While the two oc-
cupants of the basement are preparing
to shake the CRIME of the lower rungs
from their heels, Mobile and Atlanta
are preparing to hold their own by new
acquisitions.
The most revolutionary changes are
being made at New Orleans. Tired of
dwelling low in the race, Frank has
purchased, recalled and obtained four
pitchers, two outfielders and an in
fielder. Pitchers Green, formerly
Baron: Gudger, Stephenson and Giay-
enich have been signed, while twirlers
Brenton and Brenner have been sold.
In the outfield, McKillen was bought
from Toledo. Gardener Stephenson
was recalled from the Cotton States
league, while Infielder Irwin was for
warded from jackson for third base.
But with all the changes, Frank stands
little chance of bettering his position.

FIGHT FOR PENNANT

The schedule and conditions are
against him.
Fearing the expected squirt of New
Orleans. Bill Schwartz is strengthen
ing his cracked machine. While the
Volunteers have not shown extraordi-
nary ability with the ash, the pitch
ers have exhibited even less strength.
Beck, after a wonderful start, is a
failure. The hard luck which char
acterized Forest More's pitching with
Chattanooga has followed him. Fle-
harty and Breckenridge have been un-
able to stand the fast pace of the cir
cult, while Kid Williams alone has
proved effective.
But busy Hirsig has landed a trio of
beavers. The Maps forwarded Col
legian Hinton for the season. Twirler
Boland was saved from the debris of
the defunct Interstate league while
Pill Schwartz has signed semi-pro-
fesslonal moundsman-Ko With
the purchase of Spratt for the infield
and the return of Jud Daley to the
garden, Nashville is stronger should
the pitchers prove effective.
The failure of Atlanta. has resulted in
the acquisition of young trio. Pitch
er Slim Love, leader of the Cotton
States, was bought to bolster up the
slumping staff. Outfielder Holtz, an-
other Cotton States Lacquer. was pur-
chased TO supplant the crippled Bailey.
Harry Holland, brilliant star of the
Georgia Tech team, was signed to re-
place Whitley" Alperman.
While these three acquisitions have

is expected soon. Smith realizes that
his hurting corps is not strong enough.
