He Is Regarded as the Logi cal Candidate for Vice V President. San Antonio, Texas. Jan. 9.— Friends of Senator Charles Culber son have started a movement in this city looking to his nomination for the vice-presidency on the democrat ic ticket. Democratic, leaders all over Texas have been enlisted and urgent telegrams and letters are being sent to the senator in Washington in sisting that he allow the Texas dele gation to present his name for this "high office. So far the senator has not been heard from, but his friends here declare that he will do what is asked foi'tlie good of the democratic party. Some time ago he l'èftiSeil to be iùlisicîei'ed as a candidate for the presidency, and intimated that lie thought William Jeiinings Bryan the logical nominee. He intimated further that he thought the time not yet ripe for the nomination of a «outhern man for the presidency. The democratic leaders of Texas point out that the nomination of Senator Culberson for second place on the ticket will eerve to gratify the j growing demand Of the south for, recognition, and pave (lie way fori the nomination of a southern man I for president four or eight years j hence.' Furthermore as Senator Cul berson is the democratic minority leader in the senate, and has an un impeachable record both in and out of Miis state, they claim that he Is the logical candidate and will add much strength to the ticket in the east. The republicans in Texas are also shaping up to take a hand in the presidential contest. It is generally conceded that the republican dele gation to the national convention will be solidly for William H. Taft. Col. Cecil Lyon, who dominates the repubican party of this state, is a warm personal friend of President Roosevelt, and is known to be a Jaft mail. Jlis close political friend. Eugene Nolte, United States marsh al for this district, returned lately I from a trip to Washington and de- i clared emphatically for Taft. Al- j though there is a small rebellious faction among the Texas republican j party leaders, it is certain that the j rank and file will be solidly for the j big secretary of war. ι s j NTXKTV THOUSAND DOLLARS.

Lubbock, the 1'exas hero in whose honor a monu ment has recently bit*» erected with money left for that purpose by the ate Governor Frank R. Lubbock, a brother of the famous Texas war rior. Col. Lubbock was one of the men who "followed old Ben Milam into 3an Antonio," serving under Milam it the Alamo in 183.". He was one of the most daring spirits among that famous band of pioneers who eventually triumphed over Mexico and won the republic of Texas from Latin-American domination. When the civil war broke out he became the leader of the noted band of sol diers known as Terry's Texas Ran gers, and served in that capacity un til his death, which took place on January 9, 1 882. COVERED SELF WITH GLORY P. J. R. Davenport Address»·» the Swine Breeders' Association. F. J. R. Davenport of Nash re urned Thursday morning from Cleburne, where he attended the an nual meeting -of the State Swine Breeders' association. Mr. Davenport ivas delighted with his trip to Cle iurne, and declares that the meeting jf hog raisers was a great success. The association was given a banquet Tuesday night by the board of trade ind in its report of the event the Cleburne Morning Review says: The climax to the evening's en ertainment, and one enjoyed im nensely by reason of its unexpected less and appropriateness was the mpromptu speech upon "The Italian ?ig" by Col. F. J. R. Davenport of s'ash, Texas, the "metropolis" of El is county. Col. Davenport had ref erence to his bees, of which he has 180 hives on his big farm in this iplendid black land county. He is a iractical farmer of his section, who •aises his own meat, corn and sweet ining. He succeeded in creating more iproarious merriment and aroused move cheering than nil his speech making com pet it ors corabineii. His remarks were so original and apt I that they were keenly appreciated and proved Intensely amusing to all i of his hearers, many of whom en- ι joyed his original humor for the first time. Col. Davenport wound up his most pleasing address by a cor- dial irvitation to any and all of his hearers to visit him at his home in Ellis county, where t,kev would find the latchstring hanging outside the door, and who \vt»ulit be graciously permitted to smell the odor of the luscious haul frying in the kitchen. l'ASIlAMiU: CONVENTIONS Five Différent Organizations Meet at Amai'illo this Week.

YMKHIC.AX VVOMKX SLOW. American women seem slow in utilizing one of thf> greatest labor saving devices ever invented for the householder. Several years ago fire less stoves or self-cooker» came into us" )n Germany. They consist of boxes, constructed with doublewalls containing material that prevents the escape of heat. The food is first thoroughly heated on an ordinary stove, then placed inside the box. sealed and left until wanted, when it is taken out, steaming hot, and with all the flavors retained that, by the ordinary process of cooking, are dissipated. American men promptly utilized this discovery; fireless stoves have been found in valuable by the army in the west. Why have the women remained apathetic? It is because the self cooker, as at first constructed, was available only for boiling or stew ing food? If so, there is no further excuse for holding back, for, as Con sul General John W. Dye writes from Berlin, there is now on the market an improved fireless stove that not only cooks, but fries and roasts, with the aid of a heated stone. Here is a help in solving the servant problem by reducing the hours of work. 'AFRICA ΚΟΚ ΤΗ Κ AFRICANS." Dispatches from South Africa re port the existence of great unrest among the natives and express an apprehension that another black re bellion against white government is imminent. The curious statement is made, says the Philadelphia Enquir er. that this situation is largely the result of a proganda conducted by persons of African descent, who \yent to Liberia from this side of the Atlantic and thence scattered through the territories south of the Zambesi, preaching as they went the doctrine of "Africa for the Africans" and urging the natives to cease quarreling among themselves in or der to make common caus" against the foreign enemy, and declaring it to be ill the power of the natives, by j a united effort, to drive the white ι invaders into the sea. This kind of talk is said to have made a deep im pression on the always warlike Zu lus and on the other tribes resident in Natal and in the British colonies formerly constituting the South Af-! rlcan republic and the Orange Free State.

Elm Camp, Woodmen of the World, and Harmony Grove, No. 409, Ladies' Circle, met in joint session Tuesday evening for the in stallation of theii7 officers. For the last two years these organizations have held public installations, con sequently their hall on this occas sion was thronged with many firends and admirers to witness the solemn exercises. Elm Camp held its instal lation first, followed by Harmony Grove. The officers of the circle, clad in snowy white dresses with their new regalia, worn first on this occasion, aided brilliancy to the scene. They executed their part of the exercises in a most creditable manner. An excellent address on "Wood craft, Its Benefits and Insurance," was delivered by Mr. C. F. Winn. The four little girls, impersonating Indian maidens were true to life anc^ had the great chief Geronimo been present, he would have thought they had escaped from his tribe. The reading by Mrs. Riddle was deserving of the hearty applause which folowed its rendition. The duet on the piano by the Misses Paillet, and the vocal solo by Miss Cunningham were well received. The address of Hon. J. M. Alderdice was the crowning feature of the evening. He spoke beautifully of womanhood and if the gentler sex were allowed to vote he would be elected state superintendent by a large majority. At the conclusion of the program all repaired to the din ing room, where long tables, beauti fully arranged by the circle ladies, groaned under their burden of deli- j cacies. After the dainty repast had i been partaken of. good nights were spoken, each returning home bear ing sweet memories of an evening so pleasantly spent with the members of Elm Camp and Harmony Grove.] TO CATARRH SUFFERERS. j Good Advice and Liberal Offer From Well Known Waxahachle Druggists.
