Mrs. Goeth was caught clcar under the house and the workmen had to cut through the floor to get her out. Her head and body were badly crushed and she died In a few minutes. Mr. Tooke escaped with his life, but his left leg was badly crushed. Mrs. Goeth was about 40 years of age, the wife of Earnest Goeth, one of the proprie tors of the Davis Printing company.

Fourteen Causes oi Action Against the American Book Company Al- I leged in Petition.—Ten Other Companies Embraced. Austin. June 22.—Suit was Insti tuted against the American Book company of New York and New Jersey Saturday by the attorney gen eral tor ouster and penalties aggre gating $3,077,850, the cause for ac tion being the allegation that said company is a combination in res traint of trade, or, in other words, a trust. Suit was filed in the fifty-third district court, over which Judge George Calhoun presides. That the suit would be brought has been known for some time, since the Lightfoot report to the state text book board intimated that sufficient evidence had been secured to prove it to be a combination operating in the state in violation of the anti trust laws. The petition of the state to the court enumerates fourteen causes for action against the company, it covering fifteen closely typewritten pages. The first case explains the conspiracy formed by a number of companies which combined for the purpose of controlling the prices and territory of the text book business. Then cause No. 2 is given, which says that the American Book com pany, after its formation, continued to secure control of other compan ies and thus enlarge its monopoly on the book business, mentioning ten companies which it is alleged to have absorbed and mentioning companies which these companies had absorbed prior to their own absorption by tlie American Book company. The petition then goes on to say that among these companies were those which are controlled by the American Book company, but whose stock was secretly held and were al lowed to operate, apparently as com peting companies. Roy Hurt by Strwt Grader. One of the small sons of Dr. and Mrs. W. F. West was quite painfully hurt Monday morning while riding on a street grader. The machine was in operation on West Main street and the men in charge say they were not aware of the boy^s presence about the machine until the accident had occurred. According to the in formation ascertained from mem b|H'rl.v. Prof. A, Speer of Ferris has purchased the Randolph College property at Lancaster as a home for Speer's School, now located at Fer 1Î8.

He Cm! Oil His Right Hand and Sent it to Her.—A San Antonio, Tex., June 22 Par doned from a penitentiary life sen tence because of a dream such js the romantic circumstances sur rounding the release of Geo. W. Jones from the Texas state prison at Huntsvllle, where he was incarcerat ed 11 years ago on the charge of murdering a woman. in many respects Jones was a re marl-able convict. The murder for which he was imprisoned was com mitted in Williamson county. A woman whose name had been hand led more or less by local gossips was found dead. Certain circumstances seemingly pointed to Jones as the m-irderer. He was tried and convict ed. His wife showed her devotion by letnoving from her home to Hunts vllle, the penitentiary town, so that she might visit hiin frequently. He I was well-to-do and furnished money I for her support. 1 Jones maintained his innocence J of-the crime, setting forth that he I was at. all times devoted to his wife arid had never associatfd with other women. For about a year Mrs. Jones was a frequent caller at the prison. It was the one bright spot in Jones' prison life—-these visits from his wife lexas Man Released the Ellorfs of a Total Stranger. Strange Story. I But there came a time when the visits were not so frequent. Jones I pined, but his wife explained that she feared to gain the displeasure of the prison officiais. She felt that they were annoyed by her calls. One day after the visits had slack ened there came a civil officer to the j prison with a divorce summons for I Jones. "Here is a paper for you," said the prison officer. Jones' heart fluttered—probably that faithful wife of his bad secured him a pardon. He glanced at it hurriedly—he realized its meaning. Catching up the hatchet with which he had been working, he severed his right band at his wrist, and with his left hand he handed the amputated member to the deputy sheriff, say ing: "Take this back to my wife, and tell her It is my answer to her di vorce petition—my good right hand; a hand that, has never committed a crime, but has worked all these years for her support." The divorce was granted and the wife soon married again—married a man whom she met in Huntsville, where she was living to be near her convict husband. Jones' wounded arm healed after a painful seige, but he always mourn ed for his wife and often in the night the guards on their rounds would hear him sobbing her name. And now for the strange part of the story. J. H. Waldrlp, who lives at Ches ter, Tex., and who ten years ago read newspaper accounts of how Jones had chopped his hand off, dreamed a few weeks ago of the affair. He also saw in his dream, the murder of the woman—saw the tragedy en acted, he declares, as plainly as though he had been an actual eye witness. Waldrip was not acquainted with Jones—had never seen him, but he was familiar with his description from hearsay, and the man he saw in his dream —the man who killed the woman—was entirely of differ ent appearance. Waldrip was so impressed with his dream that he felt called upon to study the case. He neglected his own business and delved into the records. He interviewed the prose cuting attorney in the case. He sought the trial judge, long since re tired, and begged him for assistance in freeing Jones.

Milwaukee, Wis., June 22.—A de mand for the use of steel fire-proof ears on all railroads in the United States is one of the most important matters to be taken up by the na tional convention of the Travelers' Protective Association of America, opened this morning at Alhambra Theatre. It is estimated that nearly 5,000 drummers with their wives and friends, are in the city and the total attendance during the week is expected to reach 8,000. Numerous subjects of importance to traveling men will be considered. Following the inaugural session this morning, there will be a mem orial service and a business session this afternoon and an informal re ception at the Plankington House this evening. Aside from the busi ness meetings, there will be scores ο I entertainments, many of which will be conducted by the big brewing concerns of Milwaukee. The final ses sion will be held Friday. The demand for steel cars will be be made in earnest and arrange ments will be completed for carry ing on the propoganda in congress and before all the state legislatives, it is urged by the traveling men that laws requiring a greater protection for life and limb are of far greater Importance than a reduction of rates. It has been calculated that the largest percentage of loss of life and limb on railroads is due to the tele scoping and burning cars in train wrecks, which renders it impossible to release the victims before it is too late to save their lives. —I saw another man commit that murder, saw him in my dream," "\Val drip declared with nearnestness. At first Waldrip's dream was looked upon as a joke. His friends feared for his sanity.But he kept persistently at his task, and at last attracted more j or less of a following. Little by lit jtle, the tangled skein was unwound, and now through the dream of Wal jdrip, a total stranger, the governor of Texas and the pardon board have set free Convict Jones. Berft of the wife for whose love j he sacrificed his right hand, Jones i has sought seclusion on a ranch near I San Antonio, where he says he shall I remain. ι Literary Work at Chautauqua. Doctor F. Hyatt Smith is one of the leading literary teachers in Am erica. His work at the Chautauqua will be the same class of work done by Mrs. Shipley several years ago, but it will be a much better grade of work. He has four series of lec tures and will select from them for his work at the Chautauqua. They are as follows: Chaucer to Johnson; Burns to Tennyson; American Au thors, Miscellaneous. He will be the chief attraction at the Chautauqua for all the lovers of literature. He has been given the 4 o'clock hour in the afternoon as that will be the most pleasant hour of the day pro gram. Miss Bama Bishop will do the solo work of the Chautauqua this year. She needs no introduction to the people of Waxahachie. She has just returned from the east where she has been taking voice culture, and Is better equlped than ever for her work.

OWNBY City Editor. 1 Residence Phone, Bell No. 289.) What are you doing to give char acter to your home town? There is more in this than merely asking the question. It is becoming quite fashionable to organize "Williams clubs.'' Demo cratic Bob is not without a follow ing. There is much in the man that appeals to old fashioned democracy. The Dallas News asks this pointed question: If Gov. Campbell is right in his assertion that under the full rendition law the burdens of tax payers will not be increased, then let him tell the people just who is going to pay the increase of from $300,000 to $400,000 in the com missions of assessors and other ex penses that must be added.1' This paper Is hand in hand with any movement that will aid Waxa liachie and Ellis county religiously, morally or financially, and will promise to be especially active in any movement that combines the three. We know that we have one of the best towns in the state, considered under either of the three heads above stated, but being one of the best is not enough; let us all join in mak ing it the best. Cut the weeds and grass and build sidewalks. Paved streets will come in due time. Waxabachie is recognized throughout a considerable section of Texas as an endueational center. It is: the home of one of the best schools in the state a school that draws Its patronage from many of the best homes in Texas. Educational influen ces when these influences are in control of men who stand for better :noi and greater purity, are co workers with the churches in purl tying general conditions. While con sidering existing evils let us not lost -ight of those things which are ele vating. The trouble at the Agricultural and Mechanical College seems to have developed into a sort of Chi nes· pu/.zle to the corres]>ondents of the daily newspapers who have gone thence with the avowed purpose of clearing up the matter, and they ha\e changed front not less than twice each on the subject as investi gations haw> progressed. Students, faculty, chairman of the faculty, or president board of directors and outside influences have all been giv n tie credit of fomenlng 'rouble at the institution and that is just the shape it is left in at present.—Bell ville Times SIMPLIFY CRIMINAL. l'IUK'K DURE. Governor Campbell, in opening his campaign for re-election, delivered a speech at Terrell Saturday which contained much that every citizen can endorse Aside from his conten tions for the enforcement of a tax law that is pretty in theory but pain ful Id effect, and his evident sinceri ty in supporting the thirtieth legis lature in all of efforts at legislation —a justification that will never jus tify—there is much In Governor Campbell to appeal to Texas demo crats. Perhaps the best thing in his Terrell speech was the position tak en by Governor Campbell as to the enforcement of our criminal statutes, or rather, their non-enforcement be cause of technicalities. In his speech the governor said: "Our system of civil and criminal procedure Is loaded down with tech nicalities and complicated machin ery and should be simplified. In liti gation, the poor and the weak are at a disadvantage when contesting with the strong, and as a result of the network of technicalities in the criminal procedure, the worst crimi nal often goes unwhipped of justice," says Gov. Campbell. This Is absolute ly true; and It Is a shameful truth. The governor adds: "The present complex and cumbersome procedure is a shield to the criminal, defeats Justice, Increases the number of courts and adds unnecessary burdens upon the taxpayers. Perplexing tech nicalities encourage crime, employ the time of the courts to no useful end and the people pay the costs. A rigid enforcement of all the laws Is essential to the social well-being and is demanded as the only safeguard of life, liberty and prosperity." As Gov. Campbell says, "To longer tolerate a system of technical ob struction behind which murderers and rogues may barricade themselves and defy laws would be a reflection upon the wisdom, if not. the sincerity of our statesmanship. To say that crime can run rampant In Texas, Lhat our laws can not be enforced, is to admit that we are incapable,of self-government. That our law-abid ing citizenship is growing impatient and restless at the law's delays and the uncertainty of punishment for crimc can not be denied. That there is just ground for such discontent must be conceded. There is too much machinery in our criminal trials; too much literature and too much re finement in our courts' charges to the jury, and too many loopholes through which criminals may escape. When the court's charge in a criminal case is heard, especially the charge in murder cases, the more intelligent citizen is often made to wonder how any man is ever punished for crime; how it is possible for any juror not trained in the law to ever measure he guilt or innocence of the accused person by rules and distinctions not ilways understood by the courts and he lawyers themselves. It is not a urprise that juries disagreee. that 'minais go unwhipped of justice, hat new trials are forced, cases re ersed by the appellate courts and hat the mob spirit is rife in Texas. Che judges are not at fault, the jur >rs are not always to blame—-the nain difficulty is in the system." Let's hit straight home. The great st stumbling block 111 the way of he enforcement of local option in Iry territory is the legal loopholes urnished by the law on our statute looks. "Joints'' that are really rorse than licensed saloons are per nitted and encouraged under pres nt laws. T1JAT BOY Oh' YOURS. Now that school is out what are ou going to do with that boy of ours? Through the three months! emaining of his vacation is he to j oam the streets at his own sweet rill, picking companions you little ream he associates with, or is he a be taught the lesson of industry hieh sooner or later he must learn ι he is to take his place among the j usiness men of the future! j You worked when you were a oy. didn't you? It doesn't seem like was much of a job and it wasn't, ut at that time it was mighty hard j j see the other fellows going 1ish- ig and swimming, there to spend; îe livelong day while you had a isk which you had to perform. If j ou ran away there was the inevit bl. interview with father in the oodshed awaiting your return, and îat far more than a sense of duty elil you to your appointed task, es, it was hard then, but you real ;e now that it was one of the best lings your father ever did for you. As evidence of this you will re lember the boy who lived in the ext block. He didn't do anything in 1 icatlon iiid you envied his liberty 1 id deemed your father a tyrant, el!, you know how he turned out. e was too lazy to earn a living so tried to steal one he's just 8 >out served that term now Agreed, then, that your father as wise to find work for you when t iu were a youngster why won't the t same medicine be beneficial to that boy of yours? It was the first step in teaching you industry; you began to realize that work—(lespite all the theories of Utopians— is the fire that consumes the weaklings and refines the men of worth, for even then you realized you were better than the loafer. It taught you the value of money; the money you earned stay ed in your pockets longer than the stray coins which your father gave you. It stimulated ambition; how precious were the words of praise ■when a task was well done. Yes, it did all this for you. Why not for that boy of yours? And don't let your personal pride interfere with your boy's future. Just because Neighbor Smith, who owns a store, puts his boy behind the coun ter, don't think you must do the same, and when you fail to get that kind of a job give up in disgust. Out door work will be more congenial for the boy and give him a better appe tite. It don't make much difference what he does so long as there is nothing degrading in the associations formed. It's the boy's future, not the immediate returns, that should concern you.—-Austin Tribune. We all know that in some respects Waxahachie is bad enough. Evils ex ist here Just as they do in every oth er village, town or city on earth, a fact that we are not proud of. But when, for vice and infamy, we are compared to the worst hell holes on the American continent, the average citizen sits up and takes notice and naturally wants to be shown where these evils are to be found. The charges made may be true, but if they are, hundreds of us, after sev eral years' residence in Waxahachie, have failed to discover that which others have found on short acquain tance. Let's do our best to correct the evils that are, without imagining v.-orse ones.—Waxahachie Light. If Waxahachie—imperfect as Waxaha chie doubtless is—can rightly be called a "-hell hole'" then there is not language enough in the diction ary to describe the wickedness of some urban communities in this na tion. The Light protests well. There is neither excuse nor necessity for any man libeling a peaceful and prosperous town, however excellent his motive may be. State Press no- i ticed in a Texas paper the other day an eloquent sermon in which the worthy evangelist declared that the town of had "sold out to the devil." The preacher meant well, but his statement is questionable.— Dal las News. COFFKK AS WKDMN'G GIFT Peculiar Custom Which is General in I lie Coffee liaising Countries. "We have a custom In the coffee raising countries." said Senor Joa quim Nabucco, the Brazilian ambas sador to tbe United States, "which is unknown in other parts of the world. When a child is born in the coffee country a sack of the best grain is set aside as part of the in heritance to be received on attaining its majority.

The family medicine In thousaiias ouiee for 52 year*— Dr. Thacher'j Live* j id 11!oui 1 e Live Agents Wanted Owing to the increased demand for Wayne "30" Automobiles, we have decided to build 300 additional cars of this popular tvpe. These are now coming through—we can positively make deliveries of the first fifty in ten days. Now, we can sell every one of these cars in four or five large cities—as we have been doing. But we have other ideas, other aims. We are planning to build 6,000 cars next year—have the facilities to do it-—and the work is already under way. That means we'll need a large selling force— an agent in every town over 5,000. We want these 300 Wayne "30" cars to be the mis sionaries which will create a demand for the 6,000 we will build next year. See our point? We want to distribute this season's output—these 300 IF —over as much territory as possible instead of con centrating them in a few metropolitan centers. Satisfied users are the best advertisements—everv Wayne will do its part in carrying the news of Wayne quality wherever it goes. Even to those who knew the earlier Wayne models this 1908 product will be a revelation and a delight. We want λ personal representative—a man of good stand ing—to represent us in your town. Large capital is not necessary—ntither is a garage nor repair shop. Very little capital, but a large amount of energy and selling ability, are the requisites—to the man who possesses these, here is an opportunity of a lifetime to get in business for himself—one that has a won derful future. Write today; send references; tell us about yourself; if satisfactory, we will get together quickly. We won't hold you up on deliveries and we'll stand back of the product—remember, we count on these 300 to sell 6,000 there's the buyer's guarantee—and yours. Now is the selling season—today.
