Tex., as second class mall matter
Hon. W./J. Bryan is in Texas,
and in a spflech at Gainsville
said Texas is it.
It's a mighty sorry railroad
item these days that does not
have some reference to the
Trinity and Brazos Valley.
The latest in railroad circles is
that the T. & B. V. is to pass to
the new management on July 1st,
and tbat the new manager will be
Mike Sweeney.
Bob Taylor is a candidate for
United States senator in Ten-
nessee and will stump the state
against the present incumbent,
Senator Carmack.
Ex-Governor Frank R. Lub-
book sustained a stroke of par-
alysis at his Home in Austin Wed-
nesday and is not expected to
survive the shock.
"Grim visaged war'' hasn't
vet 1 'smoothed his wrinkled
front" o any great extent, and
we are liable to have another
bloody set-to In the far east .
King Oscar has consented to
the separation of Sweeden and
Norway. That is a sensible view
to take of it. Let them go in
peace and all will be better off.
North Texas has again been
visited by pretty good rains.
Now if they will scatter a little of
the moisture in South Texas all
will be happy, for a time at least.
Geo. Mendell. the exchange
editor of the Houston Chronicle,
is making ".An Hour with Texas
Editors" an interesting depart-
ment of the big afternoon paper.
Up in Indiana a negro slapped
a white man and an angry mob
tried to lynch him. So it seems
tliat all coons look alike to all
people, not only in the south, but
in the north as well.
The Dallas News agrees with
us that the farmers who have
served in the legislature—present
and past—are very few indeed,
and it they were all kept away
from their crops it wouldn't cause
a famine.
At Oakhurst, in San Jacinto
county, a big drug store was
blown up with dynamite. It is
said that prohibition agitation
was the cause of the trouble. The
owner of the store is a leader of
the pros.
A negro murderer named
Pierce Moberly was lynched in
Mississippi a few days ago and
his body was found hanging to a
tree riddled with bullets. Seems
that he was Mob(erly)ed and
Pierced both.
General Lincvitch wires the
czar that victory is almost at
hand, but almost is about aa close
as Russia has succeeded in get-
ting to victory bo far.—Houston
Pcet.
Maybe he means yictory for
the Japa.
"Off the Track," by J. M.
Lewis, in Tuesday's Post it a
poetic gem. Not every writer can
make even ordinary rhyme, lot
•lone reel poetry, and jump from
one subject to another as is done
in this pieoe.
The nonsensical "governor's
staff" has been cat down from
eighty*four "colonels" to nine,
which is still at least eight more
than a governor of Texas needs
in his Business.—Bridgeport In*
dex.
What have you got agin' the
colonels'?
At Marehall, Texas, a Mr.
Whaat married a Miss Bain, the
ceremony being peformed at the
home of a Mr. Marsh. We have
heard that bread cast upon the
waters will return, but in this
case of Wheat and Rain we won-
der what will the harvest be?
Judd Mortimer Lewis is to pay
the price of success by giving a
reading from his own poems at
Midway, near Sherman, next
month. Lewis says that if the
crowd is able to survive it he
ought to be able to live through
it.—Brownwood Bulletin.
Here's hoping that both will
survive.
Gov. Lubbock wrote a letter
iti 1901 directing as to how his
funeral should be conducted,
specifying that Dr. Smoot, his
pastor, should officiate, and left
the letter with his fnena, Dr,
Chas. S. Morse. Both of these
gentlemen died before the writer
of the letter was ready for burial.
In a wreck on the new fast
train between Chicago and New
York twenty-.two were killed and
many more wounded. Thus the
trip from the eartti to the skies
was made in the quickest time on
record, for railroad traveling.
Better travel on a slower train.
Mexia has u grocery firm which
advertises in the News ' 'that it
delivers the goods.''—Houston
Chronicle.
Talk about people not reading
advertisements, and here is the
exchange editor of one of the big
state dailies reading the ads in
our paper.
The directors of ttie T. & B. V.
elected officers a few days ago
and M. Sweeney frill be the
general manager after July 1st
With headquarters at Fort Worth.
Mr. R. H. Baker will remain as
vice president . Cleburne people
are blue over the prospect of
losing the general offices.
The Leonard Graphic wants to
know how Curtis Hancock can
attend the proposed special ses-
sion. as he has no railroad pass-
es? Perhaps Curtis thinks it will
be a bullfight.—Houston Post.
Why refer to that unpleasant
incident again? Let the gentle-
man from Dallas re&t in oblivion.
The jury in the Warren Moore
dishonorable conduct and con-
tempt case at Austin, after being
out for more than a day,return-
ed a verdict of not guilty of dis
honorable conduct, and Judge
Brooks promptly issued an order
fining Moore $100 and sentencing
him to three days in jail for con-
tempi of court. Austin juries ap-
pear to be very lenient of late,
but judges are not so easy.
The first bale for this year has
been picked and sold. It was
raised in Starr county and ship-
ped to Galveston where it brought
30 cents on the market. Starr
county has heretofore raised no
cotton at all. The bale is just
eleven days later than the first
bale last year. But considering
that the crop is about two to
three weeks later this year this
first bale is ahead of time.

Charles W. Chestnut*. ft negro
author of Clevelaud, Ohio, de-
livering an address before the
Boston Literary association said
the solution to the race problem
is intermarriage. That might
change,, the color all right, but
"like a vase in which roses have
once been distilled, you may
break, you may shatter the vase
if you will, but the scent of the
rose will hang round it still."
But the smell in such cases will
e that of a rise.
The failure of foreign supply
houses to send buyers to Texas
this year to buy our potatoes is
liable to cause a decrease in the
truck acreage moct year. The
farmer who lets the dishonest
commission merchant in the cities
steal his produce ought to be rob-
bed. Feed it to the hogs, if you
can't get what it is worth on the
market, then kill and oure the
hngs and you will have meat of
your own raising. There are
more ways than one of making a
living.
Mrs. Mary Rogers, the Ver-
mont woman who decoyed her
husbani to a lone spot on a brook
and was later joined by another
man who had a rope and the two
tied the hu-bands hands, admin-
istered chloroform and threw the
dead body into the brook, and
who was sentenced to be hung,
has been granted a respite unt'l
December in order that, the high-
er courts might review the case.
After reading the history of ti e
brutal crime and learning that
the she devil also dashed out the
brains of her young baby, the
wonder is that there could be
found any one who would want
her to live. We certainly would
not like to live in the same county
with such a being.
The Post feels deeply gratified
because of the prompt and busi-
nesslike manner in which the
business men accepted its sugges-
tion with regard to the St. Louis,
Brownville and Mexico railroad.
On June 14 The Post especially
urged that the citizens take im-
mediate steps to secure the road.
Within a day or two an arrange-
ment for a meeting with Mr.
Miller was made, on Monday
night an understanding was had
between the directors of the
league and Mr. Miller and a com-
mittee appointed to raise $30,000
the amount agreed upon. It is
believed that within a few days
the amount will bo fully sub-
scribed. It is a pleasure for The
Post to co-operate with sucn
progressive citizens. It makes
the public work of a newspaper
eas? and brings prompt results
when results are needed.—Hous*-
ton Post.
That's it. It is a pleasure to
advocate a public enterprise
when the people back you up.
But when a newspaper man ham-
mers away from day to day. and
from week to week, and from
month to month, and even from
year to year, trying to wake up
his people to action on some mat-
ter of vital importance to the
community, which often happens,
then it is that editorial writing be-
comes a bore and a nightmare to
the tired editor. Thus we sec, all
is not sunshine and roses, even
with the moulder of public
opinion.
You have the satisfaction of
knowing that what you Duy at
Mexia Drug Co.,Kemps old cor-

burn or hurt when applied.
And it still continues to rain a
little.

THE far-famed loop.
1 The nhove Illustration Is produced 111 ;in effort to convey to our renders
Just a faint conception of an additional one of Colorado's almost innumerable
scenic attractions and of suggesting the often extreme necessities to which the
railway lines of that beautifully rugged state are forced in order to accomplish
the tremendous heights essential to the crossing of the Rocky Mountain Range-
in reaching Utah, California and the Pacific Northwest, in which latter sec-
tion—fat Portland, Ore.)—the much talked of Lewis & Clark Exposition is to
be the Nation's most important attraction for 1005. This famous Loop is located
on the lir.e of the Colorado & Southern Railway, close to Denver, and as a
special feature along that line is visited and viewed by thousands upon thou-
sands of touMsts and summer visitors each recurring season,—the common ver-
dict of all belnff that the entire trip to and over this 'Steel Lariat' is without
a duplicate in this or any other country, and that, in many respects, It is
Incomparably unique and marvelous, a fair appreciation of which can only be
gained through personal survey or observation. It Is local, d in or along the
famous Clear Creek Canon, fifty four mils from Denver, and at an altitude
approximately ten thousand feet above sea level, or at a rise of some five
thousand feet above the city of Denver, and in traversing the Loop itself,-
which begins at Georgetown, the rise is so abrupt as to lift the tourist to a
complete over-head survey of that most interesting little city in -advance of
passing off the girdle. As a side-trip from Denver the railway leads towards
the mountains whose pine-covered gorges Invite the interested traveler who
.soon espies, eseonced among the foot-hills, the town of Golden, formerly the
capital of the State and the home of the Colorado State School of Mines, one of
the most noted Institutions of the kind on the continent; also the State Re-
formatory for boys. Of the particular feature of which we are speaking and
the necessary avenue thereto, an eminent writer says:—"There is nothing
like It in America. It Is not exaggeration to say that for wild, rugged scen-
ery, Nature in her most majestic mood failed to provide its equal, and it cart
not be described; words seem puny and inadequate. Its effect upon the Indi-
vidual is such that after many a day-dream, when one is restored to the quiet
of home, the effort to place the picture again before the fancy Is fruitless;
:tliere remains a vision of a resistless mountain torrent, rushing madly down a
I wild chasm; overhead a haunting hand's breadth of gleaming sky; the grim
walls of the canon close enough to touch at times as you tilt by; the fantastic
shapes carved upon the mountain—with bold profiles and fairy castles; the
tranquil summerland into which you occasionally dash when the canon widens
Into a few brief acres—green, shady and inviting; a passing glimpse of a daz-
zling snow-summit far away In the upper ether—these, and more, one may
recall and still there remains an Indefinable sense of something elusive that you
have not held fast and can not describe. It Is the spirit of beauty, the power of
pure, ennobling scenery which cannot be taken away from its home or ever
reproduced In words." AlwayB climbing, climbing, the locomotive wends Its
way over this serpentine trail, and It Is while drinking of the grandeur of this
wonderland that there Is constantly being pointed out to the traveler the freak-
ish characteristics of Nature; the Lion's Head, a perfect formation seemingly
chiseled out as if by a sculptor; down among the rocks the resting figure of a
rhlnocerous; the Old Roadmaster, who, even before one took the stage to Clpar
Creek, stood guard over the canon; Chlriney and Guy gulches; the dark, tow-
ering form of Mt. Dexter; Hanging-Rock, a massive, smoke-begrlined ledigo
projecting entirely over the winding track; the much talked of Mother Grundy,
which, because of Its "I-told-you-so" expression, Is certainly properly nameHjl:
Inspiration Point and the Lone Pine—these and many more arc the delightful
surprises In store for the tourist or pleasure seeker. It Is over and amo
scenes of the character here depicted that tourists during the present seasol
will pass in using "The Denver Road" and Its connections to Colorado and th
Pacific Northwest and in visiting the Lewis & Clark Exposition and the Yellow-
stone National Park. Incidentally It Is announced that on account of the latter
attractions the railway named maintains close and Intimate connections and
relations with the Denver & Rio Grande, the Oregon Short Line, the Oregon
Ry. & Nav. Co., the Northern Pacific and the Burlington Routes, any or all of
which may be used to extraordinary advantage In either one or both directions..
