STEPHENVILLE, ERATH CO., TEXAS.
•Ben. B. Tillman, the alliance man,
was nominated by the democratic
convention in South Carolina, for
gfWefnor. Tillman will make a
\y bigoted, boll-headed executive,
if his revolutionary and dyn-
Bpirit should be confronted
se it is supposed to be pop-
u$>and is the fashion, the San An-
tonio convention declared : “ That
we are opposed to the continuation
of the national banking system and
demand the abolition thereof, as
soon as by law the same can be
done." This has been the platform
song for over twenty years, and yet
nobody ha offered a substitute
for the system. True statesmanship
never abolishes a system until it
offers a better one to the judgment
of the people.
It is stated that Mr. VV. D. Bell,
of the Tyler Courier-Record, is now
in the city of Weatherford with a
newspaper outfit, and will in a few
days launch the Weatherford Cour-
ier. At its*present lick the Consti-
tution says it is prepared to run on
“indefinitely;” but it is the “lick”
that has invited competition, prob-
ably, and Mr. Beck may .find it ex-
pedient to strike harder licks and
more of them with Messrs. Bell and
Hoeney in his front. However,
measuring by the capacity and ser-
vice of other towns, there ought to
be room in Weatherford for two re-
spectable newspapers, and it is not
doubted that Mr. Bell will furnish
one of them “indefinitely,” and Mr.
Beck the other. J '
make up,general appearance and sud-
den metamorphosis of The Empire.
Having resigned the editorship of the
Weatherford Constitution on the
1st, and being at leisure.-Col. Styles
kindly came to the assistance of
The Empire, and his superior genius
in newspaper management is already
apparent. Ho maf or may not re-
main with the paper as manager
and associate editor, but he will oc-
cupy this position as long as it suits
his pleasure, and the patrons of the
•towfd of a
country weekly. CM. Styles has
superior on the Texas press as wri-
ter or manager, 'and every paper
that he has touched, since he first
came from Georgia in May, 1881 to
accept editorial work on the Galves-
ton News, sprang quickly to the very
front of its class, and not one can
truthfully say that he ever omitted
a duty, shirked a responsibility or
failed to raise his department to
the highest standard of excellence.
Stephenville may congratulate
herself that she now has the oppor-
tunity to build' a paper second to
no country weekly in the State, as
well as an assurance that her busi-
ness, industrial, educational, social
and moral interests, and those of
the county as well, will receive all
proper attention and be intelligently,
earnestly and faithfully fostered and
promoted.
More Census Grumbling.
A statement is sent out from Wa-
co concerning J-he census of the cit-
11. . l._J—I . . I T ■ ■ . t 11. .
boomers. “Mr. Wm. Edmonds, it
is said,, has been at much trouble
in getting data to complete the cen-
sus bureau enumeration of Waco's
population and shows conclusively
that there is an error somewhere.
Taking the last votes of the three
cities whose population he compares
and using as the factor he finds
Waco’s population to be 14,000,
Fort Worth’s 21,000 and Dallas' 39,-
000, these figures being close ap-
proximations. The school census
gives nearly identical results, except
the indication is a larger population
for Waco and this is also the indica-
tion of a count of‘ taxpayers, the
main point made by Mr. Edmonds
that there is no such disproportion
of Waco and Fort Worth as the first
reports make, that is about 15,000
for Waco, and 31,000 for Fort
Worth, he claiming the kitter fig-
ures are so large, if the others are
coirectly reported."

Rules to be Propounded to Appli-
cants for Public School Positions.
The Superintendent of Public
Education has sent out the follow-
ing list of rules to be used
by county boards in the exam-
ination of teachers, Friday aad-Sat-
urday, September 2Gth and 27th.
He says to the board: . *
In conducting the examination of
candidates for teachers' certificates
you are advised to adopt the follow-
ing rules:
1. The questions pertaining to
each subject should not be made
Lire* ttii to—mijtmo—anttr the time
specified for the beginning of the
examination. The questions will
then be written on a blackboard in
the presence of the candidates :
2. No candidates will be permit-
ted to leave the room after a subject
has been assigned w ithout deposit-
ing the examination papers with the
committee. In no case shall papers
once deposited be returned to the
candidate.
3. During the examination all
books, maps, globes or other aids
must be removed froru the observa-
tion of the candidates.
4. Every candidate supplies him-
self with paper, pens and ink. If
any corrections are necessary the
candidates shall not erase, but shall
draw a single mark over the error,
that the examiners m ■ v see error as
well as the correction. (
5. The name of the candidate
shall be written at the top of each
page. No slates or trial papers
shall be used, but all the writings
shall be upon the sheets of the ex-
amination papers.
<'>. No books shall be consulted,
no communication permitted during
the examination.
1. No one shall make inquiries re-
specting the import of any question.
If any one shall Jie in doubt as to
the meaning of a question he shall
express his doubts in writing, and
this statement shall be submitted to
the examiners with his examination
papers.
x. All candidates shall commence
each subject simultaneously. Papers
should be collected by some memtyer
of the board of examiners at the
expiration of the alloted time.
9. No candidate should ’oe rec om-
mended for a certificate of the third
grade whose general aveinge is low-

AN INGENIOUS DEVICE.
Measuring ft Railway Train’s Speed
i>> Musical Tone.
The New York Sun tells of an in-
genious contrivance for indi
the speed of railway trains,
is a French invention. The appar-
atus consists of simply putting in
play a cord giving a normal musical
note. Connected with this is an
arm carrying aBtylus which marks
its vibrations upon a piece of paper
covering a cylinder which turns by
its own weight.
All this mechanism is in a small
box, which can easily be placed
among the ballast between the sleep-
ers, and which begins to register
the moment a train reaches it and
begins to pass over it. Additional
features consist of tubes secured to
three wooden pedals placed along
the outside of one of the rails. When
cork button placed ufa hole in the
pedal is forced down, and the air
which is compressed raises a valve
jmd sets a spring vibrating. The
wheel acts similarly upon the other
pedals, and the result is that three
marks are made upon the cylinder,
which iudicate the beginning, the
middle and the end of the operation.
The three pedals are two meters
apart, so that there is a space of six
meters covered by the system.
The speed of the train is then de-
termined by the number of vibra-
tions indicated, which, through the
known number of vibrations a sec
ond given by the musical note, can
readily ascertained, as the more rap-
idly the train runs over the distance
between the pedals, the smaller will
be the number of vibrations traced
on the cylinder. Convenient tables
are prepared showing to the prac-
tical observer the exact relations the
readiugs have to the speed.

The Modern Novel.
Objecting to such books as “The
Kreutzer Sonata,” just as we would
object to “Tristam Shandy,” if never
haxiug been written it should ap
pear for the first time, we called at-
tention at once to the depravity and
the sterility of the modern novel;,
explained the causes of this showing
how the newspaper has become a
powerful rival to the novel; and ar-
guing that the materials for fiction
are, as a matter of fact exhausted,
and that io the struggle for new
materials and other forms and
methods the fiction mongers are
falling into reprehensible practices.
That was about the size of it. But
if we are to be reduced to a choice
of that which is unclean we believe
we prefer Shakespeare and Byron to
Swinburne and the sturdy and not
unmanly dirt of Fielding and Sterne
to the horrible indecencies of Ziola
and the flabby filth of Tolstoi.—

Of this company John R. Hoxie is

and G. B. Paxton treasurer. They
are now prepared to slaughter 500
bogs per day in summer and 1500

They will have the packing house
running by November 1. and are in

A "CARD.
This is to notify my customers and the
public generally that the enlarging and
re-modeling my mill and the putting s_
of new machinery is brought to a close,
and the mill running splendidly, with
capacity of 100 barrels of flour per day
and 20 bushels of corn meal per l our, and
it is now to be known as the “Erath
Count}- Roller Mills,’’ It is completed to
my entire satisfaction, and pronounced
by competent judges as decidedly the
best mill of its size in the state. Of
course 1 did not reach this climax with-
out a great outlay of money And personal
labor, which fact reminds rne that wbeo
our little city first felt the impetus given
by tba acquisition of a railroad some oi
our worthy citizens suggested the prac
tibility of a subscription to obtain about
$2000 to give as a bonus to a stranger
from another county as an inducement to
bim to settle here aud erect a mill. Now
I am no stranger, having jived among
you neatly 20 years, participating in all
your misfortunes and receiving but few
of the sweets, neither do I expect nor re
quite any bonus, but I shouiti like to be
the beneficiary of tiie good feeling that
actuated anti prompted the suggestion
by your awarding me your patronage
now and in the future. With the view of
making it pay I shall endeavor to please
my patrem- by furnishing them the very
best article of Ilnur and corn meal that
can be made from Texas grain. From
business stand noint it does appear to me
that it is easy to see that a mutual bene-
fit would be derived if the Stephenville
merchants would handle my flour. Bt
inv paying cash for all the good wheat in
ibis county and some in adjacent coun-
ties. tlie money would stay at home to be
