Special to the Gazette. Washington, D. April government issued the first weather report of the season today. The summary was as follows: East of the Mississippi river and generally on the Pacific coast, the weather during the week ending April 8 waa colder than usual, but in regions from the Mississippi westward to the plateau region it was generally mild.

Heavy frost occurred during the forepart the week generally throughout the Central valley and Atlantic coast and east gulf districts. The southern portions of the central and west gulf districts would be benefited by rain. Sunshine was defiicient on the north Pacific coast in the Ohio valley and generally in the middle and south Atlantic states. CUTTLE SHIPPED TO THE TERRTM Cattle are moving out of southwest and west Texas the Indian Territory bythe trainload, for pasturage. The rain of a week ago was not as- heavy over this section as at first thought and both stock water and grass are very scarce.

In order to save the cattle they have to be rushed to ranches where the range is better. The rain was sufficient south to Corpus Christi for agricultural purposes but west on the Southern Pacific beyond Uvalde there was not enough moisture to do any good. Starr county is also reported to be very dry. The railroads here are'being called upon to furnish cars as rapidly as they can be supplied. Probably 50,000 head will go to the Indian Territory out of thig immediate section.

'He, gentlemen, he who had erected temple to a Braham had forgotten the of the great Jehovah to the children of Israel, that he, wh'o afflicted a fatherless child should surely die. Oh, Stanford White, who entrapped a child who had no father, who had been deserted by her mother aud was left alone in a city of millions, had you imagined that God would not hear that cry? "Had you forgotten that retribution would be at hand? Better had it been for you you died before that day, for then you might have died in the splendor of your fame; when your departure would have been deplored by your family, when all would have attended your obsequies; before your name was a by-word and before your genius had hesn an aggravation of your crime." Kef erring to 15vel vn Xeshit Thaw's mother, Mr. Delmas first recalled to the jury that in the early part of the trial, when the name of the mother was first mentioned, lie said that he would not cast any reflections upon her and hold her guiltless, believing her to have been the helpless victim of circumstances.

"When I said this, gentlemen," Mr. Delmas continued, "I wish you to bear in mind that three things bad not yet developed--that for years after this crime Had been committed upon this girl, the-mother received $300 a month from the ravisher; that the mother had given to the district attorney a written statement by which he might tear the soul of her daughter, by which he might leave her alone in the world--her father dead, her mother unnatural, her husband executed. 'When I learned that every shaft aimed at her heart came from a quiver supplied by her mother, when I learned that it was the mother who was pointing out the sore and tender spots for the district attorney to attack, and when I learned that tho poor, babbling of a girl in school---her' diary--had been furnished by the mother that they might be used against net. I retracted, as I retract now, the statements which 11 made in of the mother. "Oh, unnatural mother that she was, to desert her girl and leave her the victim of the lust of this gray-haired man; to receive for a year the wages of her (laughter's downfall; to wear diamonds bought with such money as this; and to come now in the hour of her daughter's agony to steal away the life her only motherhood.

Weather conditions are quite favorable; seasouablv low temperatures without injurious deficiencies check too rapid progress. Even from the Atlantic states we hear from well-informed people that preparations are unusually advanced and that there is danger of farmers overplanting themselves. The spot market is steady.

Both futures and spots were quiet in the afternoon. Attempts to (n advance find only scalpers' support conviction and are feeble.

The summary says that temperatures in the eastern states have been unusually low with occasional frosts, but they were mild west of the Mississippi- Lack of moisture is mentioned for southwest Texas and portions of Louisiana. With anti-option laws eliminating or restricting the help of speculation and the free exchange of opinion in trade, the position of the large long interest in New York, which counted on public help for success is becoming daily mare critical and the market is in no position at present to stand even moderate liquidation.

The Liverpool market is due to be 41-2 to 5 points lower tomorrow. GKAItf LETTER. OF THE DEATHS FROM CONSUMPTION COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED Dr. W. A.

Evans, an eminent practitioner of Chicago, in a recent address, emphasized the importance of physicians recognizing the symptoms of tuberculosis in its early stages. Dr. Evans says that nine-tenths of the deaths attributed to consumption could have been prevented if the patients' symptoms had been accurately interpreted when first made manifest. Tho only safe method is to assume from the very first that consumption really is presen' in all cases where there ia the slightest reason for suspectinfi its presence, and to prescribe in accordance with that theory. Coughs and colds, soreness in the chest or difficulty in breathing should have prompt treatment, as the lungs are then in a peculiarly receptive condition for the tubercular germ.

A noted specialist, whose camp for consumptives in the Pine Woods of Maine has attracted great attention, because of his remarkable cures there, advises the use of the following simple sorrmila, which is said to break up a cold in twenty-four hours, and cure any cough that is curable: Take one-half ounce Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure), two ounces of Glycerine and eight ounces of good Whisky. Shake well and take in teaspoouful doses every four hours. The ingredients can be secured from any good prescription druggist at small cost, and are easily prepared. The patient should be careful to secure the Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) in the original half-ounce vials, put up expressly for druggists to dispense. Each vial is securely sealed in a round wooden case, with engraved wrappor, with the name--Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure), guaranteed under the Food and Drugs Act, of June 30th, 1906, serial number 451, prepared only by Leach Chemical Cincinnati, Ohio--plainly printed thereon.

It is always well to remember that the object of an imitator is to deceive. There is no known substitute for Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure.) $200,000 Needed For Additional Buildings.

The area infected by the aphis is apparently widening 1 but it is I too early to count upon damage. The lack of moisture is claiming more attention and. while there apparently has been DO loss from this cause so far, which would not be made good by ample precipitation, the crop in many localities is on the danger line and every day without rain will increase tho apprehension. No precipitation worth mentioning appeared on this morning's map and the forecast is for clear and warmer conditions in the west and southwest. Minneapolis reports a keener demand for cash wheat, but on the -whole the cash trade is alow.

The market, for the present is entirely dependent on crop and weather advices and that tis is true is illustrated by the manner in which the bearish Bradstreet statement was passed by. Liverpool closed a shade lower. Continental markets were mostly higher. Local receipts were 40 cars with 20 expected tomorrow. COHN--Throughout the session the market acted very strong and was unaffected bv the periods of weakness in wheat.

The May was sparingly offered and the strongest delivery. Receipts this morning were at the rate of loss than 200 cars per day and the estimate for tomorrow 13 173 cars, the lightest In some time. The domestic demand for qualities which will carry safely is better and the sample market made a further gain of from l-4c to 1-2. The minister of agriculture of the Argentine estimates the exportable surplus from that country at 12,000,000, which effectually eliminates the Argentine as a competitor for the next twelve months. Advices from abroad are far more encouraging and we anticipate a renewal of the export demand shortly.

Brad- increased 413,000 bushels Which compares with a decrease of 2,500,000 last year. Liverpool closed at 1-8 advance. OATS--The far deliveries wore strong, particularly the July. The May was relatively easy, being sold for local account. Advices indicating an unfavorable crop scare in the west and loss in the southwest were the bullish Shippers found the eastern demand improved and cash prices gained l-4c.

Local receipts were 271 cars with 184 expected tomorrow. Total primary receipts shipments 701,000 bushels. Bradstreet'e increased 438,000 bushels against a decrease of a little over 2.000,000 last year. PROVISIONS--A better tone to the hog market imparted strength to provisions and prices had a fair advance on moderate scattered buying, some of it to cover shorts. Offerings were rather scarce.

Packing interests that have been selling of late were not in the market on that side. One of the smaller concerns was a moderate buyer of May lard. Cash trade gave evidence of some improvement. Estimated hogs for tomorrow 24,000. LEAVES ENTIRE ESTATE TO PBESIDENT ROOSEVELT.

New York, April Glover of 202S Lexington avenue, who died recently, left her entire estate to president Koosevclt. No petition was filed with the will and the value of president Kooaevelt's bequests, therefore, are unknown. The main part of the will, which is very brief, reads aa follows: "I give to Theodore Roosevelt at my death everything that is mine. I owe to Theodore Boosevelt a debt greater than I cnn ever pay in this world and in this way I wish to show I am not ungrateful. He has been my good angel who spread his wings of shelter over me through life and was my only true friend in trouble.

I gladly give my little all to him and only wish it was millions instead of so small an amount. hope ho will accept it in the spirit I give it ami with God's blessings." It has bcon announced that president Roosevelt will accept the estate- and turn it over to some New York society. Insist upon its being Pabst Bluo Ribbon Beer --the perfection of brewing.

At a meeting that lasted until midnight the school board last night ordered an election to be held May 10 at which will be sumitted to the taxpayers the question of levying an additional tax of: 19 cents ou the $100 valuation and issuing $200,000 of bonds for the erection of grammar schools, additions to grammar schools, and either a new high school or an addition to the present one. Of the additional tax levy 4 cents is to provide interest and sinking fund on the proposed bouds and lo cents is to provide additional revenue necessary for the maintenance of the schools. It was stated by trustees that the managers of both sides iu the city campaign had been consulted and had agreed to support the proposition. This agreement eliminates the possibility of politics being injected into the bond and tax question and it is believed practically assures a favorable vote on them. At the meeting, also, L.

E. Wolfe, Paul Scholz and C. II. Bcrtrand were unanimously re-elected superintendent, clerk and attorney of the board, respectively. The basis of the board's discussion of the bond and tax proposition was a report made by superintendent Wolfe on the needs of the schools.

This report in part is as follows: "The average enrollment in tho grades of forty-four cities nearest tho population of San Antonio is forty- four. The average enrollment in the grades in San Antonio is fifty-eight, These figures show that our teachers have on an average fourteen more pupils to handle than the teachers of other cities. This not only places too heavy a strain upon the teacher, but makes it impossible for her to do tho best work. A i i a buildings for the grades are urgently needed. "From a careful study of the whole situation I suggest the following buildings and additions for the grades: "Two-room annex for No.

2 (Marshall street) school. A two-room addition to each of the following schools: No. 1 (Sam Houston) school, No. 4 (Mason street) school, No. 5 (Burnet) school, No.

8 (Pecos street) school, No. 9 (Bowie) school, No. 11 (Prospect Hill) school, No. 12 (Starr street) school, No. 13 (Laurel Heights) school.

No. 15 (South Heights) school, No. 18 (Brooklyn avefMe) school, No. 17 (Harris) school, on Go vent men i No. IS (Ilerff) school, No.

19 (Briscoe) school, No. 21 (Kerr Hill) school, Grant school (colored), Brackenridge school (colored). "There is need also for a two or four-room building in the following vicinities: Near Rubiola's store, Hunstock street, in the South Park addition; at Beauville, near the old shoe factory, and in the neighborhood of the kindergarten, on the west side. "At the Cuney school five rooms are poorly accommodated in a dilapidated frame building. At this place the sitd is ample, and a six-room building should be erected.

A two-room addition or airnex will probably also bo needed at the colored high school. "The additions to the above outlying schools will enable these schools to carry higher grades and thus relievo the congested conditions in schools in the heart of the city. "Our high school is greatly overcrowded, necessitating the use of the corridors, the basement and the auditorium for recitation rooms." During the last three years superintendent Wolfe reported the board has built new school rooms and tlia bond issue contemplates the building of that many more. In submitting his recommendations superintendent Wolfe explained that he has in every possible place provided one or two more'rooms and grades oq the outlying schools. This ho says makes them abje to handle children until they are through the primary and intermediate departments.

Under the, present conditions they sometimes bavo to go one mile further to school after passing out of the fifth, sixth or seventh grades as the case may be. It is his- plan to relieve tho crowded conditions of the central schools by adding to the outlying buildings. Architect TIerff presented an ostimftto which provides for tho expenditure of $125,000 for new grammar schools and additions to grammar schools, and $75,000 for high school. Tho high school propositions which the board is considering are as follows; To build a new high school and convert the present building into a grammar school. To build a ten or twelve room high school on the site of the Brackenridge grammar schoo! 3 and give tho city two high schools.

To remove the third floor of the present high school and enlarge it sufficiently to accommodate the pupils for 15 years to come. In any event the board is much in favor of taking the third story from the high school as there is complaint that tlio climbing of three flights of stairs is "injurious to the girls. All these propositions will be thoroughly canvassed and the best choicu made. The greatest objection to two high schools is the fact a two corps of teachers would be required, thus greatly increasing the cost of maintenance. At the suggestion of W.

M. Southworth the election of an architect and supervisor of repairs was passed for the present in order that this matter may be investigated. He declared that the present arrangement is unsatisfactory and suggested that it would ba better to dispense with the supervisor of repairs and pay a better salary to the architect and let him also attend to the duties of the supervisor. The. resignation of Dr.

W. Wolff as physician to the board was accepted and the election of a new physician passed temporarily. Dr. M. J.

Bliem president of the board, will serve in this capacity. No salary is paid- for this work. Tbe supply committee was authorized to purchase an iron safe for the office. The secretary of the board, Nelson Lytle, announced that lie has arranged to advertise for bids for a depository. The bids will be opened at a special meeting of the board to be held April 23.
