perin tendents of the three insane
asylums of Texas located at Ter-
rell, Austin and San Antonio for
the fiiscal year ending Septem-
ber 1, 1904. These reports give
much interesting information.
We noticed that the total num-
ber of patients in the three insti-
tutions at the time the reports
were made was 3313 and the to-
tal number of deaths during the
year was 205. In the tables giv-
ing the cause for insanity we no-
ticed that a number of females
became insane as a result of dis-
appointed affection, but that not
a single male patient became in-
sane from thia cause. _
A delegation of Dallas county
citizens were here today to con-
fer with the senat5r and repre-
sentatives from Dallas county
relative to the proposed special
road law for Dallas county. The
delegation is composed of Dr. W.
A. Carnes of Hutchins, president
of the Dallas County Good Komis
Association; J. C. Rugel of Mes
quite, C. C. Huffhines of Richard -
son, J. K. Looney of Oak Cliff and
features of the proposed bill that
was. objected to by this delega-
tion and the people they repre-
sent was that provision that the
roa Is to be built with the $500,000
realized from the sale of bonds
authorized by the people for that
purpose should, be built by con-
tract and taking away from the
commissi >nrs’ court the power
to build the roads by day labor,
and the provision which stated
that the work should be done on
roads leading directly into the
city of Dallas. No agreement
was reached, and as the matter
stands some of the representa-
tives favor the bill as proposed
and others favor amending it in
accordant with the views of the
County Good Roads Association.
The house adjourned this af-
ternoon until Thursday morning
in order to allow the legislature
to attend in a body the funeral ofr secretary of the treasury of the
Judge John H Reagan in Pales-
tine tomorrow.

THEY KEEP THE BEST
to whether it shall go wet or dry;
a bill by Terrell of Travis to en-
able the people to express their
choice for United States senator
prior to the general election at
which be is to be elected, and a
bill by Winters requiring rail-
roads to redeem all unused rail-
road tickets or portions thereof,
whether regular or excursion
tickets.
Thursday of last week was sen-
ate bill day in the house and it
was also Texas Independence
day. At about three or four
o’clock in the afternoon the house
adjourned in honor of the day,
and at the time of adjourning the
next order of business was the
senate anti-free i>ass bill. Thus
this bill narrowly escaped com-
ing up for consideration and as a
result of adjournment went over
to the next senate bill day, which
is Thursday of this week.
One of our newspaper friends
has suggested that we discuss
the effects that would result from
the passage of the Blanton bill
to legalize ticket scalping. Our
main purpose is to chronicle the Bird E. Wtyte of Lancaster. The
happenings and matters of inter-
est here in the way of news rath-
er than disc uss in an editorial
manner legislative matters, but
we have no hesitancy as going on
record as being opposed to a
measure that will legalize what
we consider, in the main, a dis-
reputable business. We favor
the proper regu>ation of railroids
and "believe that they should be
made to pay their just propor-
tion of taxes and redeem unused
tickets but as lietween the rail-
roads and the scalpers we are
for the railroads. It Is true that
some people are benetitted by the
scalpers in that they sometimes
get transportation from them
cheaper than the regular fare,
but many people prefer not to
deal with-such people and are un-
willing to run the risk of liaving
the conductor take up the trans-
portation bought from a scalper
and collect fare. The railroads
say that if scalping is legalized
they will have to discontinue ex-
cursions, homeseekers’and other
cheap rates, which would work a
hardship on the jteople and more
than offset any benefit derived
from scalpers’ tickets.

Austin, March 7.—The first
xty days? of the session will ex
pile next Friday and for each
subsequent day of the session
the pay of the members will be
reduced from $5 to $2 per day. A
resolution has been introduced
and laid on the table, subject to
call, providing for adjournment
at the end of the sixty days and
if the resolution is adopted the
governor will immediately con
vepe the legislature in extra ses
sian and as it will be a new sen-
veon the pay of the members will
again be $5 per day. A great
many of the members are oppos
ed to adjotfimment on Friday and
they say that if they adjourn
then two extra sessionswill be
necessary to complete the busi-
ness, as it cannot be done in one
extra session, which can last only
thirty days. They are in favor
of continuing the regular ses
svon until about the first of April,
so that only one extra session
will be necessary. What they
will da remains to be seen.
The most important work ac-
complished by the legislature
during the past week was the
passage of the joint resolution by
both houses endorsing President
Roosevelt’s course in having the
Standard (Ml Company prosecut-
ed. Another joint resolution
providing for tlie appointment of
a joint committee to investigate
the violations of the anti-trust
law by the beef trust; the pas
sage to engrossment of the Webb
mining bill, providing for a state
mining inspector and the inspec-
tion and safe guarding of mines;
the bill to increase the salary of
district judges from $2,500 to
$3,600 per year; the Kennedy tax
bill, and the final passage by the
house of the bill by Love of Dal-
las imposing an occupation tax
upon the gross receipts of rail
roads. Just as <e predicted
some time ago practically all the
Lilis increasing the tax on corpo-
rations have passed the house
and ns this bill was cne of the
last of ‘ these to come up for the
evOBsideration of the house, the
opposition made a special effort
to defeat it* and they were able
♦t» reduce the rate from one and
-half to one per cent. To se
■e the passage of this bill, Mr.
re marie probably the greatest
rrthe has ever made to affect
passage of a measure, and

his slate and his country.
From his great age for many
years he has been, as it were, an
historical figure yet alive in our
midst. In his person it was pos
sible to see with the bodily eye
the form and moving, express
and admirable, of the statesman
of the olden time.
The affection of the people weut
out to him, not only for what he
had done but for what he was.
He lived a life of unselfish, un-
swerving devotion to duty. He
has died “the sweet wise death
of old men honorable.” There
has passed a great soul, a man
who by his words and his deeds
left the world better than i.e
found it; the memory of whoso
life is a rich legacy to Lis conn
trymen.
Unfortunate Accident.

Carrolton his team became un-

dozen chickens. Must of thu

eggs were ft total loss. The mis

and was confined for many
months as a psisoner of state in
Fort Warren. From 1875 to 1887
i he was a member of congress,
holding for nearly ten years con-
tinuously with the exception of
one term the chairmanship of the
committee on commerce. He
was elected United States sena-
tor and served from 1887 till 1803.
As chairman of lie state railroad

When the years of the life of
such a man are ended there is no
