Ono reason why San Angelo has

mako nows and then boo that the

dates will bo turnod loose to fight
it out beforo tho people which
will amount to tho same with

The School Mouse Fire.
Tho Press has rocoivod an un-
signed communication referring
to tho burning of tho outhouse of
i ho school last week in which the
writor hints that some party
knows tho incendiary and hesitates
to oxposo on account of high
standing in tho community of
tho party accused. No namo be-
ing signed to tho communication
wo can not afford to publish tho
articlo. Tho Pross will state
howovor that tho law makos am-
plo provision for investigating
lires by inquest and ovory man in
tho county may bo summoned to
testify undor oath concerning tho
mattor. If the allegations con-
tained in tin's anonymous com-
munication aro true there will
bo no trouble in identifying tho
incendiary.

Being already proflciont in tho
art of punishing the enemy in-
cluding dofenseloss children it is
logically iu order for promotion
to another grade in tho school of
"military instruction" in tho

President Roosevelt haB atmoint-

gor. Or rathor does not acknowledge
any "distinction." How could
ho bo expected to discriminate

family table.
Tho gjrl who jumped into tho

J. S. Miles Is Closing Out These
Lines of Superior Makes at
About Cost.
J. S. Miles has about one car
load of Wagons and also a car
load of Hancock Disc Plows both
single and double disc which he
will sell at almost cost; namely
the singlo disc at $40 and double
disc at $50. These plows are sold
under a guarantee and if they
will not do the work aa well or
better than any other plow you
can get your money baok. "What
else do you want? My reason for
selliug my wagons from $5 to $10
below what they were ever sold
for in San Angelo is that I do not
want to handle any more wagon's
in the next twelve mouths any
way and I think that if you will
call and examine my wagons that
I can prove to you that I haye
the best ovor sold in Texas.
