HE COULD FIND LOST MONEY
But by Working His Scheme
Henry Snipes Goes to Jail.
"From I be account I he loser brings.
The conjurer lino* s who stole the thHMj·*."
Henry Snipes, a whllo m descend
ant of Ham whose age is some
where near the half century mark,
had what he thought was a very
smooth scheme.
By working his little scheme one
time too often the aforesaid Henry
Snipes got himself into the county
bastile with a charge of theft pre
ferred against him.
Henry has lived in Waxahachie
several years and for some time
past he has been posing as a con
jurer and among the more super
stitious of his race he was held in
! very much awe. One of Henry's
special feats was to find money that
1 had either beeen lost or stolen and
ί return it to its proper owner, con
ditioned, however, that he should
receive half the amount to recom
pense him for his trouble. In the
practice of this supposed magic art
he wasphenoni'*nally successful and
several very important finds have
been made by him lately. A few
days ago $40 of the earnings saved
by the negress who cooks for County
Jud^e J,ee Hawkins disappeared
from the servants' house in rather
a mysterious manner. The matter
was reported to the officers and they
began an investigation, looking to
the recovery of the money. Satur
day night Snipes visited the loser
I of the money and offered to fit d it
for half. His offer was accepted
and he began work on the case.
He had with him two small Kiblee
which he claimed were very neces
sary in the practice of his art. He
would open them, make a few mys
terious turns ot the leaven with his
hands, then announce that he had
located the spot where the money
was hid. He l«ft the house and
after being gone η short time re
turned with the money which was
nicely wrapped up and concealed
jln » small tin ho*. After receiv
Ing liis share of the amount he
started to leave the house
when he {walked into the arjjis of
Officers Korbes Kennedy and Min
nick. The conjurer was marched to
and incarcerated m the couuty jail.
Yesterday a charge of theft was
preferred against him The officer.·»
say they are on to his little scheme
which in substance was to iirt-t
steal money and then, by the · \er
cise of his supposed art, Had It and
restore it to Its owner.

AN ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING
Impromptu Oratorical Contest
Held at the Boys' Hall.
Laet night the young men of Trin
ity University gave the students of
the boys' hali a very enthusiastic
surprise. Owing to some disagree
ment on account of one of their fel
low students being barred from the
local oratorical contest given at the;
I University last night to decide who]
should represent Trinity Uuniver
sity at the state meeting to be held
in Sherman about fifty of the most
enthusiastic students met at the
boys' hall where the following pro
gram was carried out:
Oration, "The Young Man of the
South," by Mr. Carter. This was
one of the ablest orations ever
i
delivered in Waxahachie. Mr. Car
eer's delivery was excellent, his '
i voice was clear, and the expression '
I of his face was good. Judging by
this effort he is destined to be,
; an orator of more than ordinary I
a!>iMty.
Next on the program was a solo, i
"The Hash House," by Mr. Bent
ley, which was received with hearty !
applause.
This was followed with music by
; the hand.
Mr. J. (»uy Jones and Mr. Martin
McKnight participated in a very in
teresting oratorical contest.
The last feature of the program
whs the wonderful adventures and
encounters of Mr. Coaker in his re
cent trip around the world. This
proved very interesting to his fel
low students.
Foley's Honey and Tar is best for
croup and whooping cough, con
tains no opiates, and cures quickly.
Careful mothers keep it In the
house. Sold by K. W. Fearis.
Escaped an Awful Fate.
Mr. H. Haggine, of Melbourne,
Fla., writes, My doctor told me j
had Consumption aud nothing could
' be done for me. I was given up to
die. The offer of a free trial bottle
of Dr. King's New Discovery for
• Consumption, induced me to try it. !
Results were startling- I am now \
on the roHii to recovery and owe all
to Dr. King's New Discovery. 11 '
surely saved my life." This great !
cure is guaranteed for all throat and J

here is safeguarded by every possible method necessary tb perfect
safety fer our patrons. Few mistakes occur in drug stores
through ignorance. The careless handling of poisons, caused t»y
improper places for keeping them separate from other harmless
drugs, is more directly responsibly for error than all other
causes. We fortify ourselves ugauuU siw-'h possible error by
havtug a blue case for all our poison». We keep no two similar
unes together. With such an arrangement, no one hut a blind
utai. could make an error here. We Have been tilling prescriptions
(or 18 years, Bo far our record here is above reproach. If you
knew the quality of medicine we use, the care, the accuracy, the
knowledge and results of our prescription work, you wuuld readily
understand why there has come into t)>is drug store the last t> years
exceeding JU.UUU prescriptions. A doctor's prescription for you is
your property, and you have the piivilege of taking it where vou
choose. Bring it here.
