TEXAS AND NEW ORLEANS RAIL
WAy

The subscription books of the New
Orleans and Texas railway have been
opened in New Orleans, and it is the
intention of the committee to go out
OH the streets if the necessary sum re-
quired by the charter, is not sub
scribed. The business men and prop
erty holders are in earnest at last.
Mr.. Pike, a prominent banker, is con-
fdent that within ten days the required
sum will be collected. The HERALD
takes it for granted that Dallas is the
destination of this road, and after the
action taken by the board Of trade,
and the conference of the committee
with the New Orleans chamber OF
commerce, perhaps it is in order for
books of subscription to the stock of
this road to be opened in Dallas, in
order that some of our capitalists may
have an opportunity of lending help
ing hand to this most important en-
terprise. The commercial salvation of
New Orleans depends upon her tap
ping the Texas network of railways,
and the progress of Dallas will be i'm
mense when this road comes here, as
it will.

THE ARMY TELEGRAPH WIFE CUT
TER. H-. ...

The trial by court martial cf Lieu-
tenant Hodgson, United States army,
for cutting the telegraph wires in LOU
isiana and otherwise behaving in u
tyrannical manner, will be hailed with
satisfaction by all who wish to see the
morale of the army restored to its anti
bellum standard. 1t is the desire Of
the gentlemen of the army to eliminate
from it those elements which reflec.
upon it. There was a time in our his
tory when there was no prouder dis
tinction than that of being an officer
of the army. 1t was patent of gem
tlemanhood and soldiership. The de-
moralization of the war, and the pro-
motions from the ranks, the appoint
ments through mere political infiu-
ence, have degraded the army almost
to the corrupt and vulgar sts ldari of
congress. An old army Ofiic, writes
"that it IL no longer place or a career
for a gentleman" The class of men in
it are not the class the army was sup
piled from before the war. 1t is i'm the
power, as it is the wish of the old army
officers, to restore the same esprit du
corps it once had. This can only be
done by maintaining criterion of
character, honorable, soldieriy and
well bred. Make an example Of Hodg-
son and others, who disgrace the uni
form they wear, and the. thing will
soon right itself.

added TO the endowment recently by
donation, and our endowment lands
will greatly increase this fund. We
intend TO raise IL TO $500, 900 rs rapidly
as possible. We will be ready rs soon
ms a location Is fixed upon, and we eX-
meet this TO bc done by May or June
next, TO elect full faculty and open
the college, completely manned and
equipped, next September.
70 communities wishing to secure
the location of the college we would
respectfully suggest two things:
First-Put your donations and sub
scriptions in legal form. We mean
business and we must act on business
principles. The trustees can take final
action on no proposition except those
in legal form.
Second-Get up rs large q building
fund as you can. Let the cash sub
scription be as large rs possible. Notes
of hand, payable in one, two or three
years real estate or property of any
kind will also be received. Let every
one in the community do something
and liberal amount can be secured.
We do not say that the place offering
the most money will secure the loca-
tion, but we do say that the donation
of aood building site, and large
building fund will have great weight.
We expect the endowment fund to
be contributed by the friends of the
college mt large. We expect the build
ing fund to be contributed very largely
by the community where we locate.
The committee on location will be-
gin its work at once, and continue its
IL, for Siy months we
will correspond with parties interested
on the subject, and If necessary VIII
visit any place making earnest efforts
to secure the college. The names and
postoflice addresses of the committee
are as follows: Rev. S. Nj. Luckett,
HUNTSVILLE, Texas, chalrman; Rev. w.
X. Marshall, d. d. Shreveport, La;
Rev. John A. Smylie, Milford, Texas;
Rev. ]. w. Neil, San Antonio, Texas.
1t would probably be best for parties
interested to write to that committee
man who is nearest to them. This
would divide the work among the
committee, and the one written to
could bring the matter before the
others. The committee hopes to COM
plete its work in about six months,
and in May or June lay before the
trustees the claims of various places
and let them take final action by To-
eating the college at that place which
offers the greatest inducements, all
things considered. Communications
received by the chairman, or any mem
her of the committee will be attended
to promptly and carefully.

$500 REWARD.

Governor Coke offers a reward o
five hundred dollars for the arrest anC
delivery to the sheriff of Travis county
of George w. Miller, who stands in.
dcted at Austin, in ''two cases fol
forgery" and in two others for "fraud.
ulently obtaining possession of valua-
BILE papers,"
George w. Miller is about five feet
ten or eleven inches high, black hair,
blue eyes, heavy brown moustache,
weighs about l45 or $50 pounds, dresses
neatly, fluent talker, wears his hat
rather over his face, wears plain gold
ring on little finger of left hand, and is
of good appearance and address.
The people of Waco will recognize
in Miller the man who ran in that dis
trict, in 1871, for the seat in the legis-
latuIe made vacant by the death of
Mullins, while those of Dallas will
remember him as the radical candidate
for the same body who received about
400 votes in Dallas county in 1872.
He was lately in the Austin Jail

Galveston is now struggling in the

our main seaport. 1t is trammelling
with its unlawful exactions the COM
merce, and not only of Galveston, but
the entire state. There is not a town
in Texas importing through Galveston
that does not pay through the nose for
the privilege. The intelligent busi-

company is doing their city, are very

Halloween was celebrated at Bal

very extraordinary manner. There
was first torchlight procession, in
which Queen Victoria and Pr'ncess
Beatrice took part, and aiterward in
front of the castle huge bonfire was
lighted. A hobgoblin approached
drawing car containing the etligy ofa
witch, and surrounded by fairies car
rying long spears.
A magic circle was formed, and the
presiding elf tossed the etiigy into the
flames, after which the numerous COM
pany vigorously danced Scotch reels to
the strains Of Il bagpipe. 1t was in
tended to have a ball in the castle, but
as some of the company at the bonfire
behave themselves rather indecOrous-

Austin College to be Removed from
Huntsville. Texas.

To the Editor of the Dallas Herald
At a late meeting of the board of
trustees of Austin college, located at
Huntsville, Texas, it was determined
that the best interests of the college re-
quired its removal to some other place.
The Presbyterian synod of Texas,
which elects the trustees and which
has the college under its care, heartily
approved the action of the trustees,
and recognized them as the proper per-
SONS to consumate the removal. The
synod also appointed committee of
four to find out what places in the
state offered the greatest inducements
for the future location of the college,
and to lay the claims of the various
places before the trustees for final ac-
ton.
In selecting 3 location, several points
must be considered:
First-The location must he healthy
one.
Second-The community should he
under strong moral and religious i'll
fiuences and as free rs possible from
every form of vice.
Third-The place should be easy of
access from every part of the state.
Fourth-We must select place
where the people appreciate mental
and moral culture, and will do all they
can to locate and build up a splendid
institution of learning among them.
The synod, the trustees and the pres
ident all intend that Austin college
shall be a first-class institution. They
intend to erect buildings that will he
an ornament to the state, and afford
every facility for educational purposes.
The central building, costing about
forty thousand dollars, We wish to have
completed 10y next September, 1919,
ready for the opening of the session.
The two wings, at a costofthiriy thnus-
and dollars each, we expect to complete
In two or three years.
We expect the community where we
locate to aid us literally in carrying
out our plans. We pledge ourselves TO
spend every dollar given in five miles
of the college sight lunless otherwise
ordered by the donor, in erecting
beautiful buildings, and ornamenting
the college grounds. We will also add
I to the building fund thus furnished.
We have several thousand acres OF
, valuable land, part of which belongs
I to the endowment, and Q part to the
building fund.

The decision of Judge Durell, of

way to Ludeling, Ray Il Co., has been

Suspension of Flint a Chamberlain.

The Waco Examiner says of Flint d
Chanberlain's suspension: We UNDER
stand the assets will more than cover
liabilities, and little time will be all
that is necessary TO straighten up the
affairs of the bank. Though as to its
resuming business, either at once or in
the future, seems to he doubtful. or
course, Il thousand and one rumors are
rife as to the causes, but there is but
little doubt that if these gentlemen
could realize upon their paper, or what
is due them in every way, every dollar
could he paid.
The Advance says: The bank Is
considered To he entirely solvent, and
we have the utmost confidence in its
ability to pay up every dollar it owes,
and have n handsome fortune left.
The firm of Flint d Chamberlin have
ever been liberal in their advances to
this community, and have rendered
every accommodation to our business
men. Their liabilities have cramPed
them temporarily, bat thev viii come
forth all right, and 40 man need fear

Somebody has been ut the trouble Of
condensing great deal of information
about wheat-growing in Il very small
compass, and somebody else has set il
atloat without credit. If We could, we
would gladly give the name OF the
author:
The best soil for wheat is rich clay
loan.
Wheat likes good, deep, soft bed.
Glover turned under makes just such
bed.
The best seed is plump, heavy, oily
aud clean.
About two inches is the best depth
for sowing the seed.
The drill puts in the seed better and
cheaper than broadcasting.
From tue middle of september to
the last of October is the best time for
sowing.
If drilled, one busllel Of seed To the
acre; if broadcasted, two bushels.
One heavy rolling after sowing loes
much good.
For flour, cut when the grain Legins
to harden; for seed, not until it has
hardened.

1t is for Galveston to take vigorous
steps ut once to end this anaconda.
The means she must consider. The
legislature will probably becalled upon
to come TO her rescue. OF course, the
company have taken care to hedge
themselves about with q net work of
laws, ingeniously framed, to prevent
interference, but this cancer must,
nevertheless, be cut out Of the fair

oily has been tolerated until 1t has

The following excellent suggestions
are by Alexander Hyde, in the New
York Times: To aid the barrel and
skin of the apple in keeping out the
air, many wrap their apples in paper
MANILA paper is the best and is very
cheap, but old newspapers will answer
each apple by itself. This not only
aids in Keeping opt the air, but pre-
vents the apple f., IN bruising while in
transportation. Oranges are always
imported with papers wrapped around
them. Paper is not only impervious
to air, but is u non-conductor of heat,
and Serves to keep the fruit of u uni
form temperature point of some inn
portance. A more eilectual mode still
of preserving apples is to fill the barrel
nearly full of apples and then put in
some thoroughly dry, fine sand and
shake it down gentry. This will fill
up all the interstices between the ap-
pies and keep them indefinitely and
almost perfectly fresh. In lieu of
dry sand, ground plaster (gypsum)
may be used, and is perhaps still better,
as it is more compact, and, therefore,
less pervious to air.
