FRoF. PARKER ANNOUNCES.
Would Again Serve the County as Su
perintendent of Schools

a Prof. T.. w. Parker is again a can.
tdidate for County School Superinten-
dent and requests the Eagle to an
nounce his candidacy subject to the
action Of the Democratic primary to
be held in July.
Prof. Parker came to Bryan several
years ago to take a position on the
faculty of the city public school as
principal of the West Side school, and
he performed his duties as a teacher
so efficiently and proved himself such
a capable school man, that when the
office of County Superintendent was
created he was chosen by the com
missioners' court to fill the position,
and has since held the office by cleo
ton.
The administration of Prof. Barker
has been noted for his devotion to duty
and the untiring efforts he has put
forth in the discharge of his duties He
has given the schools of Brazos County
his undivided time and his best
thoughts, and the results are crafty
ing not only TO himself, but to all the
people of the county. There is abso-
lutely no comparison between the rural
schools today and when he became SUI
perintendent. The school houses have
been improved. modern equipment in
stalled, special taxes voted and the
school terms greatly heightened, the
schools graded and systematized. the
requirements. as to teachers raised and
many other improvements made. I'm
der his careful supervision the rural
schools are fast becoming as efficient
a. he OH .
tages 10 which the children of the
county have long been subjected, are
fast disappearing.
Prof. Parker, as all good school men
should do. is losing no opportunity for
self-improvement and keeping himself
in the forefront of school work and
methods. in order that he may be of
greater service TO the schools of the
county Some of the special efforts he
has made are as follows:
a close study of the rural schools of
Texas and other States.
He has attended regularly every
year, State meetings of the County
Superintendent of Texas. at which
times the various school problems
have been discussed.
He has especially endeavored to
help the teachers to increase the eff
cheney of the teaching done in the ru-
raj schools
He has taken an active part in the
work of the State School Trustees AS
ISOLATION ever since it was organized
at Austin seven years ago, and in rec.
ognition Of his efforts he was made
secretary of the association.
If reelected Prof Parker assures

TWO STORE BUILDINGS, WITH

UNKNOWN.

About twelve o'clock last night, the
store buildings of T. l.. Bolles, at
Ringing, were discovered to be in
flames, and before anything could be
done to prevent, they, together with
their contents, were a total loss.
The buildings were located close
together One was occupied as a dry
goods and general merchandise es-
tablishment and the other as a hard
ware store. The only thing saved
from either building was the safe in
which were the books and accounts.
The stock was estimated at about
$4,000 1t was reported that Mr..
Bolles had some insurance on the
stock and buildings.
The origin of the fire is unknown.

still fighting on the Czenstochowa-

The battle in Poland in the direction
of Lowicz is the most critical one, and
while the Germans have the greatest
confidence in General Won Hindenburg
since his defeat of the Russian General
Won Rennenkampf, in East Prussia,
here and in Petrograd military observ-
ers express the opinion that Russia S
overwhelming superiority in numbers
of men again must tell, as was the
case when the Germans made their
first attack on Warsaw.
In Flanders and in France the ar
mics seem to be enjoying a long-de-
served rest, for the only remaining
evidence that the belligerents are fac
ing each other, is an occasional bonn
bardment with heavy guns. Infantry
attacks have temporarily ceased, and
while the generals are laying their
plans for the next move, the men are
getting a chance to rest and to tidy
themselves up after a month in the
water-soaked trenches.

AMERICAN STEAMER SEIZED
BY GERMANS ON HIGH SEAS

Santiago, Chile, Nov. 22.-The Am
erican steamer Sacramento, which.
until "A few months ago. was the
German steamer Alexandria, has put
into Valparaiso and the story re-
lated by her captain has resulted in
the Chilean authorities starting an
investigation to determine who is
responsible for the apparent viola
tion of neutrality in which she was
involved.
The Sacramento, Captain Jacobson,
left San Francisco Oct. 10 for Valpa-
raiso under new registry and flying
the Stars and Stripes. Captain
Jacobson declares that his steam
er was seized on the high seas
by a German warship, taken to Juan
Fernandez Island, belonging to Chile,
and forced to turn over to his cap
tors. his provisions and 5000 tons Of
coal.
The Sacramento then came on to
Valparaiso, where Jacobson told his
story to the authorities.
All the Santiago papers comment
on the use of the American flag as a
violation of Chiles neutrality. The
Chilean authorities have notified the
crews of German ships now in Chile
an waters that they have been in
termed, obliging them to remain until
the end of the war.
The Sacramento had on board thir-
ty-two men from the French bark
Valentine, and two Chinese, saved
from the Titania, both of which ships
were sunk in the Pacific by German
warships.

London. Nov. 23.-The veil of secre-
cy has been drawn over the battles be-
tween the Russian and the AustrO-Ger-
man forces. The headquarters of both
armies are now confining themselves
to the briefest statements concerning
the hostilities, saying merely that
fighting is in progress.
News coming from unofficial sources
however, shows that the German ad-
vance has penetrated farther into Po-
land than had been disclosed previous
ly and that Warsaw is threatened for
second time General Won Hinden-
burg's army has advanced as far as
the owicz-Skiernie-wice line, which
means that the Germans have covered

forty miles distant. Farther south, in
Poland, however, the Teuton allies are
said to have been repulsed between
Radon and Kielce.

cRUcE GETS REPORTS.
He Will Transmit Them to LegisIa-
ture. But Make No Recommendation

Oklahoma City, Nov. Ex-Governor
Cruce is arranging the reports of
the several departments of the state
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1914. and calling on a few delinquent
departments for their report with
a view to transmitting them to the
legislature as provided by law. The
governor will send letter of trans
initial and no message of recon-
mendations, believing that the mat
ter of recommendation should be
left to his successor in office. The
legislature will meet the Tuesday af-
ter the first Monday in January, just
a week before the new officers of
the state assume their duties.
The reports being transmitted for
the most part show that small bal
ances have remained uneXpended.
The penitentiary and the military
departments were not able to get
through on the sums appropriated
owing to unforeseen contingencies.
