The state convention of the pro-, hibition party of Texas, held in Waco last Tuesday and Wednesday, paid high tribute; to a 'faithful worker and veteran in the cause when it nominated WV.D.

Jackson of this city for governor, A temperance man all his life and identified, with the prohibition cause in this state for a period of more than thirty years, Mr. Jackson richly deserves the honor. William David Jackson was born in Greensboro, North Carolina, December 29, 1836, and will therefore be 68 years old next December. He was the son of John and Sarah Elizabeth Jackson, his mother being the daughter of Edward Ross, one of the founders of Greensboro, and who lived to be nearly 100 years old. He came to Texas in 1858, arriving in Washington county in December.

He remained there only a few days, however, desiring to push on to the frontier and on Christmas day he passed through Independence and on his way to Cameron, Milam county. He was well pleased with that town which was then the trading point for a large section of country, and being a saddler by trade he went into that business, which grew rapidly until the war between the states made such heavy demands upon the resources the country. In the year 1861 he purchased the stock of goods of every merchant in Cameron, selling them at a good profit that fall, together with his saddlery business. Then he enlisted in the confederate army, being a member of company Eighth Texas, Walker's division. He remained in the army until the war closed, returning home with a twenty dollar gold piece, all he had left of the fortune he had made in the few years he had been in the state.

In i860 he had married Miss Mary A. Batte of Cameron and upon his return from the war he and his wife began life anew with only the twenty dollars. With that Mr. Jackson went to Houston and his credit being good he laid in a supply of leather and other material and was soon pushing a profitable saddlery business again. He remained there until 1870 when he sold his interests at Cameron and came to Waco.

He first engaged in the insurance business, but soon established a photograph gallery and has continued in that business. He is a successful business man and popular throughout the State. He is a brother of Mrs. J. Harper Johnson of High Point.

Great Losses at Port Arthur. Japanese Persevere in the Determine tion to Finish the Work. Paris, Sept. 24. -The Martin's St.

Petersburg correspondent telegraphs as follows: "Telegrams of which the general staff have as yet no knowledge reached the Emperor at 4 o'clock this morning. I can affirm that they concern Port Arthur, regarding which place the greatest anxiety prevails at court. The Japanese are now engaged in a general which is more furious than its predecessors, attacking the town on three sides simultaneously and employing their whole forces, being determined to finish the business. Russians mines blew up whole battalions. General Fock especially distinguished himself, directing the fire from the wall which the Japanese reached after indsscribable mas sacre.

"The whole of Admirals Togo's and Vice Admiral Kamimura's squadrons are aiding the struggle, which, it is feared here, will be final. The besieged forces are fighting as in a furnace. A perfect storm of shell is falling on the town, port and fortress from the whole hill and roadstead. General Stoessel is going from port to port, encouraging the defenders in their desperate efforts. "In St.

Petersburg the facts concerning the tragic event, which perhaps will terminate to a'glorious fall of Port Arthur, are wholly unknown. At court hope has not yet been entirely abandoned. A Good Work. The first year's work of the North Carolina Children's Home Society, the home office of which is in Greensboro closed this month. W.

B. Streeter has been in charge of it. The record shows that fifty-two children have been received by the Society and provided for, not one of whom could be received at any one of the orphanages. Forty of these are in tbe homes of good Christian families and under tbe Society's supervision. One has died; two boys were placed in an industrial school, and one child was returned to the care of the county.

Seven were on hand, awaiting placement. Two of these were eligible for immediate placement and the other five needing either physical treatment or moral training to render them fit for the entrance into a family. One destitute mother desiring to care for her own child was aided to a good home for herself and little one. Superior Court. The proceedings of the civil term of the superior court now in session are of little interest to the public.

The week has been taken up in considering some cases that have been on docket for some time. The entire day yesterday was consumed in the frial of the case of W. N. Stewart, vs. the Van De-venter Carpet Company.

The tak. ing of evidence was finished yesterday afternoon and part of the argument of the counsel was made. In this case the plaintiff brings suit against the Vau Deventer Company for $3,000 for injuries received in the fall of an elevator at the mill of the company. The plaintiff is represented by Col. J.

A. Bar ringer and G. S. Bradsbaw, and King and Kimball represent the Van Devenrer Company. The case will likely go to the jury today.

Origin of Rural Free Delivery. We find in the Atlanta Constitution the statement telegraphed to it from Washington that a Georgia Congressman, L. F. Livingston, was the first person to suggest rural free delivery. We trust that when the historian of this excellent scheme for improving the conditions of country life takes hold to get the facts he may study the files of the Hartford Courant.

He will find that the first advocacy of the progressive movement is in this paper. The suggestion came from the late active-minded Henry L. Goodwin, who had made a study of postal affairs and who was urgent for the introduction of better facilities for rural districts. Ex. Vesuvius Again in Eruption.

Rome, Sept. 23. Vesuvius is again in eruption today in an extraordinary degree.

Tbe contractors are looking over the plans for the new school building this week. One Seen by a German Professor Nearly 40,000 Miles Long. Prof. Stentzel announces to the scientific world that since August 22 he has observed on the southern hemisphere of the sun several exceptionally large and numerous small spots. Since the disappearance, on July 27, of the last of the extensive June and July groups of spots, these products of condensation still continue to show themselves, but they generally remained small and inconspicuous.

On the night of August 21 and 22, however, there appeared in the the southern spot zone, on the eastern edge, an extensive stretch of eruptions of brilliant radiance, which were visible only near the edge of the sun. and afterward these could be recognized therein by day spots which, though spherical shortening, were in form similar to lines. As further advance was made toward the centre of the sun's meridian, the group of spots increased in size, and soon took enormous dimensions. On August 27 the group assumed the curious shape of a beautifully formed garland, which showed in its western part a huge black mass like a rosette, and consisted of very numerous single spots. On August 28, when the group already had the centre of the sun behind it, it possessed a total length of 69,489 miles.

This gigantic area of eruption was followed in the south spot zone at an interval of two days by a smaller eruption with a black spot of still very respective size, and this was followed by a third in the same zone of likewise large dimensions, having one main spot and several smaller spots, which had extended, by August 28, three days after its appearance, over a distance of from 34,740 miles to 38,601 miles Also in the northern spot zooe, with a length of almost the same as the area of eruption first described, there appeared sev eral small spots, so that simulta neously there were four groups observable. Prof. Stentzel counted on the sun's di-k, so far as the weather allowed him, six independent sun spots in 1 901, seven in 1902, 36 in 1903, and up to Ac- gust 28 this year, 72. CHARGED WITH FORGERY.

It is not to be denied that smoking is much on the increase among women in England, and it is now more or less an accepted fact and is tolerated even in the most old-fashioned houses.

There is no doubt that when indulged in moderation its effects are beneficial, particularly to nervous, overstrained or overworked women, and the prejudice against it is bound to disappear. Ex. We do not believe this If it were true women had better go without the benefit that might be derived. Building Up.

Amid the demonstration of a a large gathering of Albanyites, these two leaders of democracy clasped hands, buried the hatchet of factional differences and publicly proclaimed that all discord was at an end, and that the demo-cratic party, so far as their individual spheres of influence are concerned, is henceforth united. Judge Herrick took occasion to declare that if he were elected he would be hisownmaster.bat would seek the wise counsels of party leaden.
