TEXAN SHOOTS A VAMPIRE I. M. Horton, ex- Convict, Shot for HisOld Tricks. I. M. Horton, ex- Convict, Shot for HisOld Tricks. Dallas, Texas, Feb. 19.—When interviewed at the city jail Thursday morning by a Dallas Express reporter, relative to the shooting of Dr. I. M. Horton, prominent eye specialist of this city and his wife about midnight Wednesday, Prof. J. W. Ray declined to make a statement other than saying that he desired as little publicity of the affair as possible. Dr. Horton is lying at Parkland hospital, where he was removed for treatment dangerously wounded from a gun shot wound in the left side, while the injuries of Mrs. Ray are not fatal, she having received a flesh wound in the right leg. The cause that led up to the near tragedy has not yet been ascertained. Dr. Horton is formerly of Kansas City and has practiced his profession in Dallas some six or eight months. Since coming here, he has boarded at the Ray home, 3509 Roseland avenue. He has made a host of friends here and was seemingly, enjoying a lucrative practice. The Rays are among Dallas' oldest and most highly respected citizens, J. W. Ray, himself having taught in the public schools of Dallas about 30 years. For the past two years he has been employed by the firm of Titch-Goettinger Co.-Dallas (Tex) Epress. The shooting of I. M. Horton should serve as a warning to the many slick vampires who seek to wreck the homes of hardworking, honest men. Those vampires who sail under professional colors and many other disgusts, enter the homes of many good, virtuous wives and take undue liberties, finally the neighbors begin to see and talk and presently the whole town is talking. The husbands are the last to hear of the scandal, then he begins to watch with care until he is convinced, then he takes the law into his own hands and the usual result as happened to Horton takes place. Horton Served in Missouri Pen. This man Horton was a teacher in the public schools of Kansas City, Mo., for a number of years, and was supposed to be making good when the exposure came that he was criminally intimate with young girl pupils of his school. For this he was tried, convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary at Jefferson City, Mo., where he served a part of the sentence and was either pardoned or paroled. A short time ago he went to Dallas, Texas, and was received in the best society with open arms by the best people; we mean people who live Christian lives and earn their bread by the sweat of their brow. Those who have self pride and believe in the progression of themselves along with others; not that protentious class who dress in the latest fashion to attract attention of others with the idea of making others believe that they are of the business type, spend most of their lives in good times, full of faithfulness and excuses, always seeking to get into the best classes where they are not wanted or known. Once in then they begin to create dissonion with wagging tongues and living lips, then look out for wrecked homes. This happens with both sexes. Now our advice is to take plenty of time in welcoming strangers to your home or circle of good people. If you don't just such fellows as this man Horton who got almost what he deserved, will continue to give trouble and there are women who take special pride in wrecking homes, so watch both with all the eyes you have and can borrow. We hope the next good man who shoots will aim a little higher and pierce the heart. The race has too many wreckers of this kind in order to move up we must check this human leaper. No harm to ask people who they are, where they formerly lived, what they follow for a livelihood and references that you can use to protect yourself and business. If they can't give satisfactory statement you had better let them alone. Plenty of good honest people; don't worry about the fellow that won't worry about himself.

A Business Talk To a Business Man For many years I was president of the firm of Gavitt & Co., Bankers and Brokers of this city, (Topeka, Kansas), and know that when a business man opens an account in any local bank, he generally investigates those who are behind the bank and who guarantee it to be a safe place for his money. This same rule should be applied to any business concern with whom you deal, if you are not already personally acquainted with the individual members. I know that hundreds of thousands of people in the U. S., and many foreign nations, are aware, that for over a quarter of a century I have also been the president of the Gavitt Medical Co., one of the largest chemical works in the west, the manufacturers of Gavitt's System Regulator, a household preparation, that has been found of great value by many after they learned what it was, would do and would save.

Improvement of Vast Importance to Mississippi Valley and Northwest All Bars to Actual Construction Removed. One of the outstanding achievements of Gov. Frank O. Lowden's administration in Illinois was the putting through of the Illinois waterways project which will cost $20,000,000 and provide water connection between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi river. The project has been under discussion for more than 20 years, and several state administrations have struggled in vain with this important problem. It remained for Governor Lowden to carry the great improvement through to success. The last bar to the project was removed January 10 with the issuance of a permit by the secretary of war authorizing the state to proceed at once with the improvement. The beginning of actual construction work is now but a matter of a short time, and completion of the water link at last becomes a visible goal. Remendous benefits will be realized by all classes of business interests in the Mississippi valley as the result of the opening of the water route. "The waterway will be of immense value to farmers of the great producing region of the entire Mississippi valley and the Northwest. Governor Lowden said "The Illinois project will be in accord with the improvement of the Mississippi, Ohio and Missouri rivers by the federal government for navigation. Locks will be 600 feet long. 100 feet wide, accommodating fleets of barges carrying 6,500 to $1000 tons of freight, the equivalent of six to eight average train loads. "Before the war and the increase of rail freight rates a ton of freight was carried a thousand miles by water as cheaply as fifty miles by rail. This is a fair location of the benefit to be afforded the public by the work when it is completed. Its value is now enhanced by the government requirement of interchange of freight by railroad at suitable water terminal points throughout the country." The waterway will follow the drainage canal from Chicago to Lock port from which the expansion will be made with the Illinois river at Utica by a large canal eight feet deep, which may later be depended on 11 feet, as conditions require. In addition to the great advantages to commerce, water power valued at approximately $100,000 a year will be developed which will affect a saving of approximately 500,000 tons of coal annually. HOBBY FOR SAVING MARKS LOWDEN RULE PEOPLE BENEFIT BY BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION OF ILLINOIS EXECUTIVE. Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Illinois has one hobby in the administration of public affairs. That is strict economy in the expenditure of the people's money. He has given Illinois a business man's administration. It efficient management he was able to reduce the tax rate in Illinois 33 per cent in two years, thus saving $400,000 annually to the tax payers. Illinois was the only state in the Union to reduce its tax rate during the war. In many states taxes were increased. While most public executives were talking about it, Governor Lowden actually planned and put into effect a comprehensive reconstruction program for Illinois a year before the armistice was signed. Governor Lowden has demonstrated in Illinois that good government is a profitable investment for the people. *In discussing govern- sent the governor sold: "Our public business is the most important of all our business. We too often say that our private affairs will not permit us to interest ourselves in public affairs. We seem to forget that if government were suspended for a single day our private affairs would be of no moment—that ruin would rule all about us. But government is not automatic. Perpetual motion is an idle dream in government as in mechanics."
