Explanatory Letters. < \
The following letters were received
this week in answer to our article In
reference to the circular letter anent
the irrigation amendment published
heretofore to which the editor's sig-
nature was attached without his con-
sent.
Wichita Falls, Nov. 15,1900
Mb. G. P. Barber,
Editor News, Seymour, Texas,
Dear Sir: From the last issue of
your paper I fiud that 1 have done
you a great injustice, which I hasten
to repair as far as 1 may be able.
Previous to the recent election the
newspaper meu of this city at my in-
stance, addresand a circular letter to
various newspapers of tho State, so-
liciting them if tbey could consis-
tently do so to ask their readers to
vote for the constitutional amend-
ment kuown as "the Irrigation
Amendment." It was intended that
this letter should bear tbe signatures
of all the uewspaper men in the pro-
posed irrigation district, believing as
I did that all wore in favor of said
nmendment. 1 agreed to communi-
cate with vou, with Movers. Norwood
jb Bellows aud R. L. Taylor, of
Archer City and obtain your permis-
sion to allow your names to be signed
to said circular letter, but in the
rush of business tbe matter escaped
my mind, and your signature with
the others mentioned were signed to
the circular letter. I have since un-
derstood that the Irrigation Amend-
ment was an issue in your county
and that you were opposed to it, aud
that the appearance of said circular
letter in print did you an injustice
in your race for county judge. Of
this I am very sorry. I had been
informed by persons supposed to
know that all of the newspapers iu
the district, with the exception of
those published at Henrietta, were in
favor of said amendment, and with
this belief, I had your name with
others signed to the letter, fully be-
lieyiug that this would meet with
your approval. I was surprised
when I saw a copy of your la6t paper
and discovered that you had always
beeu opposed to it. Believe me,
your' siguature would not have been
attached to this circular had I have
had the slightest iutimatiou that the
amendment did not meet with your
approval.
Yours truly,
J. A. Kemp.

Wichita Falls, Nov. 15,1900.
Mr. G. P. Barber,
Editor News, Seymour, Texas,
Dear Sir: Referring to the en-
closed letter from Mr. Kemp, I wish
to say that when this'circular letter
was discussed, it was generally un-
derstood that you were in favor of
said amendment. Mr. Kemp in my
presence was assured of the fact, aud
hence your name was signed to the
circular letter. All of tbe newspaper
men here join Mr. Komp in sincere
regrets that you were unfortunately
misrepresented. You may be assur-
ed that there was no intention of in-
juring you in any way.
Your friend,
F. T. D vuanEUTY.

Tuesday night, while every one
was bnsy studying tbe election
returns, the fire alarm was sound-
ed, when it was discovered that
tbe residence of Dr. Simmons was
hn fire. Tbe fire company prompt-
ly responded but the building
was too far gone to be saved. We
learn that the building belonged
to W. T. Simmons and was cover-
ed by $1500 insurance. Dr. Sim-
mons had $500 on bis furniture
and household goods, most of
which were saved. Capt. J. E.
Simmons lost all his household
goods, which were saved. Capt.
J. E. Simmons lost all his house-
hold goods, whiah were inauted
for $400. The fire originated up
stairs, and is supposed to have
caught from a defective due or to
have been caused from a lighted
match carelessly thrown down by
a little negro who had been up
stairs only a short time before the
4ra occurred.—Decatur Messen-

Catarrh
and
Liang
Troubles
Fully seventy-five per cent of the
people have Catarrh of some form.
It is a loathsome disease, uot only to
the sufferer himself, but to others as
well. Also, it is dangerous oisiasp,
in that it insidiously spreads from
one part to auother aud finally
threatens the very life of tho afflicted.
It is the cause aud bogiuniug of
most case of Consumption.
The iuhaling method of treatment
is the ontv olio that will cure, as by
this means hIouu can medicines be
applied directlv to the diseased parts.
Atomizers aud Sprays are of but
little value.
Dr. A hi man has the most complete
aud effective apparatus for this treat-
ment. Tho machines he uses are the
lateet inventions in this, and by their
use he has cured scores aud saores of
severe cases while practicing iu
Chicago, Call as and Fort Worth.
The treatment is pleasant,. So
pleasaut that a child won't objoct to
it.
Consultation and examination free
in Chronic cases. Both chronic and
acute diseases treated, and calla
made in town or country.
Dr. Ahlman is permanently located
iu Seymour.
