handy harshness of the old-fashion-
ed sort and one decidedly novelty in
conjugal cruelty were charged
against Arthur r. Sterrett, treasur-
err of the Quaker Manufacturing
company, makers of furnaces, in
divorce bill filed yesterday.
Sterrett's most striking method Of
furnishing" his wife, according to
the bill she filed, involved several
simple but effective operations.
When aroused to anger it is recited,
he went to her clothes closet, where
hung many costly gowns. Then, she
alleges, he lay on his back on the
floor and thrashed about with his
legs until the last garment, be-
draggled and torn, was dragged
from its hook.
Mrs. Sterrett also asserts her hus-
band became angry one day when
she was preparing to receive the La
dies Aid Society of her church and
struck her. She complains further
she was compelled to give up her
bed to her husbands brother, to
work as stenographer for the
Quaker company while in delicate
health, and to live, against her will,
in the same house with her mother
n-law.
The plaintiff asks an Injunction
restraining Sterrett, who is said to
have an income of $4,000 a year,
rom disposing OF any property.

A Washington dispatch states
that Gov. Colquitt's offer of a re.
ward of $1,000 for the delivery on
Texas soil of five Mexicans suspect
ed of numbering Vergara has caused
the state and war department off.
Gals serious concern. 1t is pointed
out that the offer of the reward
may result in the kidnapping of the
men accused and thus give the
Mexican government opportunity
to demand the punishment of the
kidnappers, as our treaties with
Mexico would justify such a proceed
ure on the part of the Huerta gov
eminent. In that event the United
States could get out of the affair by
declaring that Mexico had no gov
eminent or by refusing to recognize
Huerta as President. Gov. ColQuitt
is evidently a man of courage and
doesn't propose to have Mexican
enter Texas and murder
its citizens without raising a hand
to punish the guilty.

The political situation in Hamil-
ton county appears somewhat mix
ed. The moosers are talking of nom
mating a ticket, but up to date have
been able to get only one candidate
in the field. There will probably be
others, but nobody is expecting the
party to poll more than four or five
hundred votes in this county and it
may be considerably less. The dem
ocrats are backward, as usual, in
county affairs political, but it is
likely they will have a ticket in the
field. 1t would look bad to let the
matter go by default at the first
campaign under a democratic ad-
ministration since 1896. The repub-
licans, of course, are expecting to
sweep the platter and indications
are that strong ticket will be nom
mated.

THE HARDNESS OF WATER.

In the July American Magazine a con-
tributor, writing an article describing the
development Of a new type Of fast motor
boat, gives most interesting description
of the resisting power of water He SAYS
that a solid stream Of water shot out Of
hose at tremendous velocity is Just as
owerful and destructive as a rod of iron
An extract from the article giving an
idea of the hardness and resisting power
of water follows:
Here is a fact which is probably novel
to the average man who has not spent
much OF his life thinking about motor
speed boats. This is what we may call
the hardness OF the water when a boat is
running at speed. Water at fifty miles an
hour is not the limpid liquid we are ac-
customed to battle in. II YOU put your
