Although Realizing That He Was Doomed, Roach Refused to Reveal the Name ot His Assailant. Oliicers Working. Dallas, Tex., Aug. ?9.—Ollie Roach, alleged to have been the head of a band of house burglars that have operated extensively in Dallas, and probably in other Texas cities, is dead and the police detec tives of Dallas have another crimin al mystery to unravel. The body of Roach is being held at the morgue of a local undertaker, pending ad vices. It is believed that Roach had a sister living in Dallas, but she had not been located by the police. In Roach's case the irony of fate is shown. He was arrested Aug. 19, following the attempted burglariz ing of three boarding houses, and when discovered in the houses, made excuses each time that he was look ing for some one and had gotten in to the wrong room. Detectives Duncan and DeWitt, after an investigation, arrested Roach, and the former officer filed three complaints, charging burglary against him before the county at torney. A writ of habeas corpus was sued out before Judge \V. W. N'elms, who set the hearing of the case for Sat urday at 9 o'clock. It resulted in bond being fixed in the sum of $500 in each of the three cases, which was made, and Roach was told he could go free until such time as the grand jury would have passed on the complaints put up to them. Had the bond not been granted, the prob ability is that he would have been alive and well today. Released from the custody of the officers and the jail cell which he had occupied for three days, Roach, within two hours or a little more after he went forth from the court room, was found lying on a bed in a rooming house, gasping for breath, with a gaping wound in his right breast and another in the back on the left side. All attempts to secure a state ment as to how Roach received his wounds was fruitless. Mounted Offi cers Davis and Hanie received a call from the Griffin street place about 4:30 o'clock. Arriving there they learned that Roach and another man had had a difficulty and that Roach had been wounded. He had already been removed to a little house on J North Lamar street, where his wounds had been dressed. It is said, however, that Roach's assailant is known to the officers— where he Is, of course, is another question. ι The exact cause of the unfortun I ate man's death is given as pneumo nia, which Dr. W. E. Crow, who at tended him, feared from the very first. In addition, according to the physician, the wounded man's resist j ing power was shown to be slight. Police department detectives are working on the theory that Roach j was killed by a member of the band to which they claim he belonged, the j intention being to get him out of the way, on the principle that "dead i men tell no tales." It Is hinted that j at the proper time Roach \tonld 1 have turned state's evidence and "turned up" the gang. LOSSES HEAVY Flood Summary Shows Worst in Experience oi Carolinas and Georgia. PEOPLE mm HOMES Business Demoralized, Homes Sub merged, Houses are Undermined, Bridges Wrecked and Traf fic Suspended. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 29.—Witli the number of dead estimated at 100, the financial loss placed at from two to five million dollars, the floods of the present week throughout the I Carolinas and Georgia have been ihe most severe experienced by these 1 states In their history. Cities have been submerged, busi ness demoralized, stocks of goods covered with slime, fine furniture and house furnishings ruined and buildings undermined and collaps ed. In the country sections county and railroad bridges have been washed away in all directions and railroad traffic brought to a stand still. Among the farms acres of farm f land have been washed clean of growing crops, while other hundreds are covered with beds of sand and 'slime and practically ruined. Travel by railroad is impossible and it is thought that many will suf fer for food and shelter before all I can be located. Twenty-two dead bodies have been recovered at Augusta and more ι corpses are being found every hour. bodies were seen floating down the I Savannah river during yesterday, but it was impossible to rescue them. Atlanta has started a relief work for her nearest sister city, Augusta, and today a special express car was loaded with food and supplies and rushed to that city. Atlanta's city council has appropriated $500 foi i the flood sufferers and several hun dred dollars have already been con tributed by citizens. FARMERS' UNION TO SEEK Li

jWant a Measure Enacted Preventinc j Handling ol Quotations 0n Cotton. The Farmers' union of Texas wil j ask the thirty-first legislature tc ι pass a law prohibiting the telegrapl I companies from transmitting withit I the state New York quotations, anc I making it a misdemeanor for anj 1 person within the state to quote prices sent out by that institution The leaders of the union will bast their demand upon the premise! that the prices promulgated by thf dwellings at Folsom, Ν. M., on Hiursday night, and fifteen persons ire reported to have been drowned. Sieveii bodies have been recovered, ren miles of track and twelve brld ;es on the Colorado and Southern ailroad were washed out. Trains lave been laid out forty-eight hours. Meager details received here yes erday say the entire town waa swept, by the flood, which was I :aused by a cloudburst. Several louses were swept away completely ind nearly every house in the town ^as damaged. The advices say searching parties have been formed ind that it is expected many more bodies will be found. Folsom is in the northeastern part i)f New Mexico, near Raton, on the j Santa Fe railroad. Its elevation 1b j about 7,000 feet, and it is constant ly in danger of floods, which sweep down from the surrounding njoun- tains whenever there is a cloudburst or heavy rains in the hills. The property loss is estimated to exceed $100,000. COTTON DAMAGED IX SPOTS. Condition Has Improved Steadily Since the Recent Ruins. Encouraging reports as to the condition of cotton have been com- lug in the past few days. The heavy rain which fell Sunday, August 22, was followed by dry weather with plenty of sunshine, resulting in the appearance of new forms on the plant in a way that indicates that the loss sustained by the ravages of worms some weeks ago will be more than overcome. It seems that the worms have confined their work to restricted areas. In some commu nities there are fields in which the plant is almost bare of fruit while perhaps an adjoining field will yield from one-half to a bale per acre. It is estimated that the recent rains and the sunshine which fol lowed has been worth thousands of dollars to the farmers of Elis coun ty. i Friday afternoon two representa tives of this paper, acompanled by Mr. H. P. Mizell and Feliz Erwin. made an inspection trip around by Howard and Nash. The cotton along the road the first six miles out from Waxahachie appeared to be In excellent condition. The plant has attained a good growth and is load ed down with a matured crop. On the thin land the plant is a little small but the yield will be fairly good. As a rule the plant yet has plenty of vitality and is still bloom ing freely. In the vicinity of How ard a few fields were found In which the yield will be comparatively light. The stalk Is almost free of fruit and no blooms were observed. From Howard to Nash and from Nash to Waxahachie an average crop will be gathered. In some in stances the yield will be fully a bale to the acre. A FAIR ASSOCIATION. Fffort Will He Made to Form an Or ganization in this City. A. L. Peay of Waco was In the city Friday trying to interest citi zens of Waxahachie In the organi zation of a county fair association to be included in a circuit of about a dozen towns. Mr. Peay is secre tary of this circuit and Is also sec retary of the Waco association, which he organized this summer, lie believes an association of this kind could be successfully conduct ed In Waxahachie. In addition to ag ricultural and livestock exhibit· îpeclal attention Is given to harness racing events. Mr. Peay met with some encouragement here and it is .inderstood that he -will return in a iew days for the purpose of perfect ng an organization. ΓΗΚ Cl'IiFKW KINGS TONIGHT.

The New York World thinks the question, "Shall the People Rule?" too much of a generality for cam j palgn purposes, and advises demo- j crata, Mr. Bryan included, to get ι down to the brass tacks of the re- j publican record, which it pointedly submits in the following epigrams: j 1. It has been extravagant and wasteful. 2. It has attempted to popularize war. 3. It has gloried in Philippine im perialism. 4. It has menaced the statf.s with federal usurpation by means of con structive jurisprudence. 5. It has recklessly undermined confidence in our business methods causing panic, depression and suf- j fering. 6. It has profited by the political contributions of corporations seek ing legislative favors. 7. It has spoken vociferously against the malefactors of great wealth, but it has not brought one of them to justice. 8. It has bullied congress, threat ening to do as it pleased, law or no law. !t. It has assailed the courts when their judgments were contrary to its wishes. 10. It has maintained the highest tariff ever known in a free country and has made no move in favor of income and inheritance taxes. 11. It has constantly demanded law and more law for the prose :i tion of trusts. although existing laws are held by it to be too drastic for enforcement. 1 2. It Is now attempting to round out a career of wilfulness, greed, ambition and tyranny by forcing the! elec tion of a peionally excellent am! I amiable proxv. j Thes" twelve declarations !':»rni an I admirable stati nient of the record of the republican party, and the Woi i ri ι τ in advising all demo crats to emphasize these offenses against the common welfare. Mr. Roosevelt has been greatly praised by many democrats, Mr. Brjan in cluded. for his enunciation of re-1 forms, which haw long been advoca-1 ted by the democratic party. I must be remembered, however, that few of these reforms have been popu lar with the republican party, and there is yood reason to doubt even Mr Roosevelt's sincerity with res pect to most of them. Early in his administration Mr Roosevelt recommended revision of I he tariff, but nothing has ever been I lone toward revising It. Long ago he idvocated publicity of campaign :ont ributions and expenditures, but ils party in congress rejected it, as lid the convention which nominat ed Taft. As the World says, none of the rich malefactors has ever been Drought to justice. The trusts have not been curbed in the slightest de cree. The republican party's reform ■ecord Is made up exclusively of Mr. Roosevelt's words and there is no tetter evidence that the predatory nterests do not anticipate any re 'orm acts by the republican party :han the cordial and united support hey are giving to Mr. Taft in the Aay of a slush fund. The republican parly has been in power nearly twelve years and the people must judge it by the record, not by Mr. Roosevelt's words.-— [ion Jton Post. Here Is a good roads suggestion from the Beaumont Journal: "The board of count.v commissioners is respectfully referred to Port Arthur for particulars regarding that one block of oiled dirt road. During all af this rainy season, it has remain ad as solid as asphaltum. Such a j road does ot require the use of the] split log drag." The Denison Herald makes this passing observation: "Just one more month until the state supreme court will meet and take up the work of knocking out laws made by Ihe thirtieth legislature." Texas is fortunate in having a supreme court [hat can knock out some of the fool enactments of an over industrious j legislature. This world is full of men who are j failures because when as young men they overestimated the value of their ability and turned down opportuni ties, which if accepted would have led them on to permanent success. The young man who chooses any certain line of employment should allow the salary he receives to be a secondary consideration. The world is also full of successful men who are anxious to pay young men who can make good every cent per week they are worth, but are not willing to take any chances until their abil ity has been demonstrated.—Abilene Reporter. "WE OFTEN WENT TO BEI) HINGRY." When little Clarence Crump was abandoned on the streets of Chicago by his starved mother, little did he or she think that the simple act would result in stirring the city as it did. "Nobody knows what 1 have suf fered. We often went to bed hun gry, we did the night before I gave Clarence away." No dear reader that wail did not come out of the past, it is a wail of the present. It is but the wail of countless thous ands of widowed mothers and of some who are not widows. It is the wail of the deserving who have suffered hunger among plenty, be cause circumstances do not per mit of their being able to secure a position that would be sufficiently remunerative to stay the wolf from the door and keep back the harping harpers who seek to throw them out in the street because they are un able to pay the rent. The following sermon to profes sional reformers was penned by Tom Cannon in Dunlop's Chicago Dis patch I.ike a tender leaf cast into a whirlpool little Clarence Crump, having been abandoned upon the streets of Chicago by his invalid mother and snatched from distruc tion by the police, is now receiving widespread sympathy and newspa per attention. The fate of this small waif fur nishes a lesson in elementary hu manity to so-called "reforms," shouting clergymen, "red light" slum ranters and vociferous purifi er- of a morality the first principles of which most of them do not com prehend. The broken hearte I noth r ί-olis out: "Nobody knows what sufered. We often went to bossible speed for some other place. Consequently try to make a live, enterprising town out of the own in which you live. When you an working for or saying a good thing for your town you are accom plishing all the more for yourself."

The nude in art must not be displayed at the Iowa Stat· fair, and espec iaiiy when the mule figures ar>· j painted daintily on china. This is the dictum of T. D. Legoe I of What Cheer, Iow a, superintend ent of the fine arts building at the J State fair. I Miss Elizabeth Sheets, a Des j Moines china painter, is the offend ing art china exhibitor. Because of the lack of the his torical fig leaf and drapery illusions j on Miss Sheet's women figures on coffee urns, brush and comb trays, powder boxes and the what-nots of a woman's dresser, Mr. Legoe has had entry tickets awkwardly bal anced over the most offending and flagrant nudity of the female fig I urea. This is what caused the war. j Miss Sheets protested that the beau 11y of the outline should not be mar I red by any cardboard makeshift, j "If they think this art is vulgar j and should not be shown to young people, why do they let those sav j ages run naked at the fair grounds I sideshow, where thousands of boys and girls see them?" askekd Miss Sheets. "They do not know any thing about art. The nude figure j j of either sex is not offensive, but the highest expression of divine art." "I think it is a shame to have j such beautiful work covered," said j i Mrs. Wharton, one of the china j judges. "It is beautiful work and exhibit- j j ed for the first time at the fair. There is nothing suggestive or of fensive in real art." A Forty-Two Party. j Miss Ovie Caldwell entertained several of her young friends Friday night with forty-two.
