Gov. Herrick of Ohio, Gov.

They are having a little set-to

One of Armour's lieutenants
has been indicted in Chicago for

A man shows up now and says
that the machine that blew up
the Maine was intended for a

next meeting of the Texas Press
association after tbe %oue which

Let Henderson of the Crony, and
the good fellows of the Caller,
come to the association meeting
and tell the editors about the tar-
pon fishing and the bathing girls,
and the cabbage fields of that
idyllic neck of the woods.—
Houston Post.
At Waxahachie two years ago
they caught us with a proposition
to furnish each editor with a 120 •
pound young lady to go driving
with, and none of us haye for-
gotten the pleasant experience
But if there is a prospect of a
bathing party we move to elect
Corpus Christi by acclamation,

year's meeting to along about
August of this year.

A lecture by Mrs. Carry Na-

That's nothing to brag about.
We had Cary hare during a rain
storm and she lectured to a crowd-
ed house while the elements
were doing good business all

were in progress.
In the argument before the
railroad commission on the re-
duction of cotton rates, Judge
Parkins told us something we did
not know before. He said the
farmers do not pay the freight,
but that the man who sells it to
the mills is the one who is in-
terested in the cost of transpor-
tation. And does the learned
judge expect the people to
swallow such rot as that? He
ought to be kicked for presuming
that the farmers of our country
could possibly be such ninnies.
The local newspaper, truthfully
says an exchange, should be
found in every home. No child
should be brought up ignorant
who can be taught to appreciate
home papers. It is said to be a
stepping stone to intelligence in
all those matters not found in
books. Give your child one for-
eign paper with not one word
about any person, place or thing
they ever saw or heard of, and
how do you suppose them to be
entertained? But let tliem read
the home papers and hear from
people whom they meet and
places where they are familar,
and soon an interest is awakened
which increases with the arrival
of every local paper* Thus a
habit is formed and those chil-
dren will read papers all their
lives aaci bocoms intelligent men
and women, a credit to their an-
cestors and strong in the knowl-
edge of the world as it is today.

The home paper, speaking of the
wedding in the most complimen-
tary way, mentioned the fact
that tnere was punch served to
those present. Whereupon the
Iredell Sentinel mm comments as
follows:
Now this was alt very nice,

THE PRESIDENT'S ESCORT.
Company Q.t Third In-
fantry, Left for Aus-
tin Today.
From Wednesday's Daily.
Th« looal military company,
officially known as Co. G., Third
Infantry, Texas National Guard,
Capt. N. P. Houx commanding,
left on the noon train today for
Austin to form a part of the
military escort for President
Roosevelt when he visits the
state capital tomorrow.
The company made a splendid
appearance in the new regulation
kahki uniform and the heavy
marching equipment, consisting
or the sheltrr tent, blanket,
haversack, canteen, and rifle.
Following is the persoonel of
the company:
N. P. Houx, captain.
Claude Ezell, firet lieutenant.
W. S. Itobison, of Kosse, sec-
ond lieutenant.
Asa May, first sergant.

The Dallas people fell down on
the military pare of their recep-
tion to the president. An effort
was made to have several com-
panies from outside the city par-
ticipate in the reception but the
committee would not put up the
wherewith tr> enable the com-
panies to go' Hence there will
oe no military escort at Dallas.
The committee, however, did in-
vite Capt. Williams of one of the
Dallas companies to turn out his
company and do guard duty on
the streets along the line of
march, but the captain promptly,
and we think properly, declin-
«d to do so, considering that the
duty of the city police.
Austin Statesman: A Con-
necticut woman hns inherited a
large fortune, and advertises
that she wants to find some way
of disposing of it. If she will
marry a newspaper man that has
long wanted a "newspaper of his
own'' she will find the way speed-
ily and satisfactorily.
Speedlv at least. The news-
paper man who refuses to be con-
tented until be becomes editor
and proprietor of a sheet of his
own nearly always gets what he
wants sooner or later. And, af-
t-jr he gets it. he otten wonders
what it was that appeared so at-
tractive to him, as an employe,
in the pay of proprietor and
paymaster. Pay day, instead of
the sunshiny visitation it used to who"have"attAme<I th9
be when he stood on the other
side of the desk, becomes a terri-
fying tweive hours, and it returns
with a regularity and frequency
which are disturbing to his sleep.
The paper trust, which he has
hitherto regarded with cimpara-
tivecomplacency, aow snaps its
jaws in his face and the over-
reaching rapacity of the type
founders and machinery men
make him wonder if the? never
stop to contemplate the hereaf-
ter. Moreover, the man who
dosn'tget his paDer regularly
and the advertiser whose "ad"
is never to his liking, instead of
being the agreeable fellows he
formerly belieyed them to be, be-
come nuisances which no patient
man ought to- have to put up
with. It is a hard life , but some-
body has to own the papers. It,
wouldent do for every one to
shirk the duty of proprietorship.

Doai's Kidney Pills make lasting
cures. Bxperiences of Texas people
prove this.
Here's one Texas case of it:
John Colvin, retired engineer, livinor
at 233 South Bois d'Arc street, Hills-
boro, Texas, says: About a year ago
a gentleman called upon me and asked
my opinion of and experience with
Doan's Kidney Pills. At that time I
told him they did me mere good than
any otner remedy I had ever used for
kidney complaint. I was a good sub-
ject for them to work on, as I had suf-
fered off c.ud on for ten or twelve years.
Frequently I was more than annoyed
with sharp, shooting pains in the small
of my back, the kidney secretions were
too frequent in action, were scaaty,
highly oolored and contained a sedi-
ment. I am a great believer in patent
medicines, and often think that half a
dollar or a dollar spent for a remedy
and used for diseases for which its use
ia indicated, very often saves a doctor's
bill. Doan's Kidney Pills is one of the
preparations in which I have great oon-
ndenc . 8ince using them a year ago..
I have not had any symptoms of a re-
currence of my trouble, and for this
reason I gladly allow my statement to
continue.''
