Houston Herald. K. LYLES, Editorand Publisher Subscription Price, $1.00 Entered at Postomce at Houston, 88 second Class Matter, HOUSTON, FEB. 13, 1913. The Editor will not be responsible for the expressions or views of correspondents, Editorial and Otherwise.

WEST PLAINS had two ground hog days in succession; Karl Radle was in town Saturday with a wagon load of his celebrated Broadvale farm sausage. ---West Plains Journal. THE HERALD has been working under great miliculties for the past week with the Editor and our main typo, C. E. Elmore, off the job, but the faithful work of John Rhea and Henry Burch kept the old ship sailing.

DOUGLAS COUNTY has just completed a bridge across Bryant river at a cost of $3560. If bridges could be built in Texas county at any such cost as that, different parts of the county could get the benefit and the public would ap- prove. IN THE proceedings of the House of Representatives February 3rd, we note the following: "Mr. Taylor of Texas introduced House bill No. 586, relating to the filling of vacancies in tickets after the holding of a primary.

"Mr. Taylor of Texas introduced House bill No. 564, relating to delinquent and back taxes." HousToN is now working on another railroad proposition. They seem to have very little faith in the Ozark Short Line and are now seeking an extension of the Salem branch of the Frisco. The Short Line people had better get busy.

Rolla Times. Not exactly correct, brother. Houston is simply ready to do her part to secure a railroad. It is not a loss of faith. A PROFESSIONAL handshaker is the next office to be created according to a bill recently introduced in the New York legislature.

His duty will be to relieve public men of the task of shaking hands with the public. The disposition to create new offices seems to be rampant among legislators, our Missouri legislature seeming to be badly afflicted with the prevailing disease, but we hope the common sense of our representatives at Jefferson City will prevail. REPRESENTATIVE JOHNSON, of Pulas- ki county, has introduced a bill in the Legislature requiring all passenger trains to stop at all county seat stations when county seats are located on the railroad and also to stop at the nearest station to county seat towns if such county seat towns are located twelve miles from the railroad. We would be proud to see this bill passed if amended to county seats twenty miles from the railroad, which could not inconvenience the railroads very much and there are numerous instances, many of them recent, where if the fast trains stopped at Cabool it would have been of great advantage to parties here. WE note in the Lebanon Rustic an account of the death of Mr.

A. H. Clark, which occurred February 5th. Anvil Clark was known to the editor of the HERALD from our boyhood, he WAS a neighbor and friend while we lived in Salem and many years ago was our employer when he WAS a member of the well known firm of A. H.

H. B. Clark at Salem. He was 8 bighearted, kindly-natured gentleman, 8 true man, highly respected, a thoroughly honest and conscientious citizen and business man. The editor of the HERALD extends sympathy to the bereaved relatives.

Tan Wright County Republican is "off again, on again, gone again." This paper suspended publication a few weeks ago but has been revived with T. A. Kelley 88 manager. Ir 19 with pleasure that we note in the Houston HERALD the appointment, by Gov. Major, of Judge W.

L. Hiett, of Houston, 88 one of the Board of Managers of the Nevada Asylum. We have no doubt that the acceptance of this proposition means a eacrifice on the part of Judge Hiett, but it is by seleating suoh men as Judge Hiett for positions of honor and trust, that the Democratic party grows strong. We congratulate Governor Major upon his choice. -Rolla Herald.

DuN'e REVIEW does not afford much consolation for those who have been predicting panics and a headlong race to the demuition bow- for our U. S. since a Democratic president was elected. With that president less than mouth from inauguration, this great trade review says: "No important change has taken place in the business situation during the last week. The leading industries and trades still are prosperous.

The Balkan situation has caused some financial strain abroad, and part of the heavy European gold requirements have been shifted to this side. The open winter, while somewhat unfavorable to retail trade, has afforded a stimulus to various branches of industry. Building and allied lines, for example, generally have been active and the unusual weather has added materially to the already large trafic of the railroads, whose gross earnings during four weeks of January increased 13.9 per cent. Notwithstanding the striko in the clothing industry, the important textile trades are prosperous. Recent snow has improved winter wheat conditions." WE never knew before what comfort could be given by messages of sympathy.

Housed 88 the editor and family have been for the past week or more while in quarantine, with a great sorrow over our household caused by the loss of our only son, with no sympathetic, kindhearted friends with us into whose ears we could unburden our sorrows and whose tears would fall with ours, the loneliness was indeed hard to bear. Right here we want to say that we owe a great debt of gratitude to Mr. and Mrs. M. G.

Coyle, Mr. W. J. McCaskill and Mr. W.

J. McGee, who made sacrifices of their own welfare and comfort to be with us during the most trying hours. But all during the week that has past messages have continued to arrive from dear friends far and near, and it has been so comforting to know that true friends are sharing your sorrows, that their hearts are with you in the hour of distress. Beautiful wreaths of flowers were received from Mr. and Mrs.

A. J. Johnston and Mr. and Mrs. Ray Johnston, of Springfield, and even though they were delayed in transit and frozen, yet they fulfilled their mission of sympatby aud love.

We are indeed truly grateful for all these remembrances, the letters, the messages, the many evidences of thoughtfulness of friends which added to our comfort and thus express our sincere gratitude to all those who aided us in anyway through the trying ordeal. May God bless all and protect all from like aMiction. Stock Company Formed. Cabool Enterprise. Attorney Robert Lamar WAS in Cabool last Saturday fixing papers necessary to the formation of a stock company, whose business, will be the manufacturing and selling of the Fredrick Safety Lamp Burner, a contrivance for which O.

H. Fredrick secured a patent some time ago. The company is capitalized at $5,000 and the stock is owned by C. H. Fredrick, Paul Grant, Dr.

L. M. Edens, C. P. Patton and Edger Parmenter.

The patent consists of a flap that fits inside the slot of a lamp burner and when the wick is turned down puts out the blaze. It is a small thing and can be sold at a price little in excess of the ordinary burner. He has been endeavoring to organize a company for several weeks and at one time thought the stock was sold, but the deal fell through. Since the present company was formed there have been numerous applications for stock by people in Cabool, Houston, Springfield and other towns, none of which were accepted, as the present owners prefer to keep the stock in as few hands as possible. The new company has rented one of the rooms upstairs in the new Grant Building and will commence the manufacture just as soon 88 the burners, which have been ordered, arrive in Cabool.

While patent right fakes are numerous, yet it looks as if this WAS one of real merit and Mr. Fredrick has had no trouble in placing orders with substantial jobbers who send in repeat orders and it seems the sales are limited only by the capacity to manu facture the safety appliance.
