MARBLE WORKS.

We looked in yesterday al the mar
BILE works of Messrs. Middleton Broth
ers, corner of Elm and Market streets,
and were much pleased AT the elegant
style of their grave stones of all FASH
ions, beautifully wrought III white
marble. We were especially struck
with beautiful family monument pre-
pared for an old AMI worthy citizen Of
Freestone county, Mr.. Joseph Burle-
son, and copied the inscriptions, as fol-
lows:
On one side-"Joseph Burleson, born
March 80, 1900; died -"
On the opposite side-"Polly, wife of
Joseph Burleson, born August 20, 1893;
died October 10, 1897
On another side-''Om childen-An
infant son born and died in 1922; James,
born March 10, 1928; Elizabeth, born
May II, 1924; David W., born January
ii, 1926; Edward, born January 3, 1897;
Joseph, born July Is, 1920; Robert,

Though well acquainted with nearly
all the old pioneer Burlesons of the
Colorado, we do not personally know
this old gentleman, now in his seventy
fifth year, and only awaiting the cali
of the Master for a kindred hand to
have chiseled the blank in his own
epitaph, after the word died.
There is something touching IN this
work of the good old man-to group
his whole family on imperishable
marble, before quitting this for better
world. 1t is the conception of pure
and loving heart, and though we have
known seven other Joseph Burlesons
of the same family, we feel drawn to
this one, q stranger, by cords which
reach to the tenderest sensibilities of
the heart Messrs. Middleton Brothers
have executed the design most happily.

Dallas and wichita Railroad

To the Editor of the Dallas Herald:
have noticed with some interest
the various communications of late in
your paper ON the subject of the Dallas
and Wichita railroad. Itseems That
company have been trying to force the
biggestt?) stockholders to do something.
Now, | want to ask one or two ques-
tions, and if they can be answered
without fear or trembling, and too
many wriggles of the pen, then, well
to be plain, | can sleep better tonight.
Is the city of Dallas stockholder in
the Dallas and Wichita railroad? /
say she is not. When will she be a
stakeholder? say not until that COM
pany grades and bridges five miles of
the road, and it is inspected by com.
petent engineer, and reported to the
city government, and if accepted, then,
and not until then. The city is, figur-
atively, simply an individual in this
matter. Suppose you and | agree,
which, too, has been witnessed, that if
you will print me thousand copies of
a circular, and when printed will pay
you ten dollars, am ] not morally, nay
legally bound to pay you; indeed, If you
did not have confidence, would. you de-
liver the work? Then here is Dallas
proposing to do % certain thing
when the company does certain
other things, and yet the company
wants Dallas to do that which the COM
pany was to do; mother words, to place
the fifteen thousand dollars where II
will serve as a basis of credit for said
company. Admit that the city would
have voice to say what for, or to
whom these bonds should be paid to or
pay for, but it is not the better part of
wisdom and prudence for Dallas to
say, when the five miles are passed
upon, Mr.. Wichita, what is the con-
dltion of your company? Let me see
III you are all right; whether or not
your shareholders have paid I'D their
shares, and, If not, whether man who
may have only paid ten dollars for
vote will now have the same power as
the city, who has TO pay one hundred
for this privilege or right?

THE house of Of representatives, bya
tie vote, defeated the bill providing for
the sale of the school lands. We regret
very much TO learn the fact Thoselands
cover 50 much ground ins0me counties
rs seriously to rotard population. Az
the same time numerous persons squat
on them, make cheap Improvements,
destroy the timber and lay the predi-
cate for ultimately getting them nj the
minimum price forall. Yet II is but
reasonable to suppose that the most
valuable lands would be thus appropri-
ated. Men have, for years, lived on
the lands, yet the state gets no revenue
from them. The evil Is steadily en-
larging. In so far as the lands are In
side the settlements, we have no doubt
of the wisdom of putting them IN
market, under some judcious plan,
whereby the present grandchildren Of
the muniilcent donors of thirty"siX
years ago may get some Of the benefits
through the common school fund, and
the people, TO that extent, relieved of
taxation. We can see neither wisdom
or justice in perpetually holding them
in unproductiyeness for the benefit of
unborn children, while the people of
to-day are heavily taxed TO keep
schools for both white and black. 1t
is another .tdar pas of the Fourteenth
legislature. If Texas ever viii need it,
it Is now after thirteen years of mistor-
tune.

lINhiHNA' A'NNnt NJ oVl
Tuesday evening Marshal Chiffon
repaired to Gormley's house, on infor-
nation received from private source,
to search the premises for stolen prop
erty.
A careful examination revealed the
fact that one of the rooms did not ex-
tend to the outer wall, and on going
outside and continuing the search, it
was discovered that there was Il space
of about three feet extending across the
building to be accounted for. On tear
ing away the planks ON the inside, a
private room was discovered, in which
was stored Cleghorn's flour, amounting
to $3.50 pounds; lady's saddle, two
or three brides, one or more sets of
harness, and II few traps of no great
value.
All the property was removed to Mr..
Cleghorn's store, on Austin street, and
as 1t was no doubt stolen, If any of our
readers have been robbed it would be
advisable for them to examine the
plumber.
We remember publishing some time
since that n side saddle had been stolen
from some person in Denison, but we
cannot now call to mind who was the
loser.
a man by the name of Ben Norwood
was occupying the house at the time of
the discovery, and he was promptly
arrested and lodged in the calaboose.
He protested he knew nothing about
the room, but it was noticed he turned
very palewhen the discovery was made,
Norwood is said to be relative Of
Mike Gormly, the owner of the house.
Gormly left for the Nation the next
day after the theft, and is now stopping
just across the river.

Our bodies are like time-pieces. When they
run down we must wind them up; otherwise
they will stop forever. What key will best
perform this work of renovationg Expert
ence has shown that 1t can be accomplished
more rapidly and certainly by course OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters than by any
other article under the sun. That searching
yet harmless agent seems 10 be spring, and
lever, and wheel, so TO speak, OF the living
machine. Therelaxed nerves are braced, the
torpid liver is stirred, the weak stomach is
strengthened, the disordered bowels are reg
iilatcd, the lost appetite is restored, the
clouded mind is rightened-in short the
whole inert system is stimulated into
healthy action. New life is put into every
falling fbre, and physical regeneration en-
sues. This is the testimony OF thousands.
In every city, town and village OF the union
living proofs Of Its efficacy may be found.

thinks it disgraeeful to beg, but honor
able to work for his mother, though
his manly cheek has been made to
burn by the idle remarks of thoughtless
persons, as If he were of the vagabond

The COSsF Fs:siO6sr question.

This Congressional District is com
posed of Indiana, Armstrong, Clarion,
Jefferson and Forest counties. Each
county is eptitled to three delegates in
in the District nominating convention.
The delegates Of Forest county were
appointed at n meeting of the county
committee during May court, and
were instructed 1st. for White, of In
diana, ID, for Maclay of Clarion, and
Sd for Marlin of Jefferson. Next
Clarion county held her primary meet
ings, and instructed her delegates for
Campbell. Then Indiana at her pri-
mary meetings instructed for White.
Jefferson instructed for Marlin, and
Armstrong county instructed 1st, for
Beale, and I'd, for White.
In this county some of the voters
seemed disposed to question the right
of the county committee to appoint
delegates and instruct them; conse-
quently petitions we're circulated last
week, setting forth that the committee
had no right to act in the capacity they
did, and praying that other delegates
who, II is understood we're favorable
to Campbell, be admitted to the con.
vention in place Of those appointed by
the county committee.
The other side claimed that by rea
son Of established precedent, the dele
gates appointed by the committee were
legally entitled to seats in the conven
tion. The upshot of the matter wa
that both sets Of delegates went t
Kittanning to attending the Distric
Convention which was appointed t.
meet yesterday. All he have sine
heard of the affair is a dispatch W,
received this morning, dated yesterda.
which was as follows:
