TO the Editor OF the Dallas Herald
The new paper of Galveston, called
the Public Opinion, is energetically
engaged in ferreting out and exposing
what it charges to be fraudulent actions
by Mayor Hurley and other city Off
cials, in the matter of ring contracts,
etc., including the census taken last
year. That census, rs returned, showed
u population of 34,2l3. The Public
Opinion boldly and detiantly charges
that the population as actually emu
merated was only y ,0S5! and that the
other l3,12S names were copied from
the Boston directory. 1t has challenged
investigation, ana dares to the proof
So far we have seen no answer.
Such charge can not be ignored.
If not refuted it will stamp with in
fanny every one engaged in so base a
deception. When published many be-
lieved the return Il gross eXaSSeratlon.
In fact, we have never heard single
man say he believed that Galveston
contained anything near $4,000 souls.
No one who will explore both places
is likely to believe that Galveston in
population is more than double Dallas
IF this is approximately correct, Gal
weston would probably have from
$4,000 to q, 200.
We are not posted in regard to the
other charges of corruption made by
Public Opinion, but if one-half OF
them are true, that paper is engaged in
a good work. Wherever found, Off
cial corruption should be exposed to
the uttermost. Honest officials never
fear, but always court investigation.

GAZING IN OF A WELL.
Two Men Thought to Have Been Killed

Two brothers by the name OF Madi-
son bought, last week, a tract of land,
consisting of ten acres, for fruit farm,
five miles southeast of this city. They
were both unmarried, and all the work
on their purchase has, so far as the
neighbours observed, only been done
by them, no outside labor being en-
ployed. For the last day or two they
have been seen at work digging n well
and Oh Tuesday traveller rode up to
their house, a temporary building, for a
drink of water. Not finding any one
in the house, and seeing hat and coat
lying near the well, he rode up to the
spot and found the well had caved in.
On reaching the nearest farm he men
toned this fact, and as no signs of the
brothers were seen about their prem
Uses late that evening, it is supposed
that while mt work in the well it caved
in ana buried them alive.
1t was the intention of the neighbors
to satisfy their apprehensions concern
ing the disappearance of the Madisons
by removing the earth which had
fallen into the well. We have not
been able to learn the result.

The Marcel, Of improvement.

The depression in money affairs in
this city this summer has strangely
enough not kept back the steady inn
provements in building and incidental
development which has continued all
through what are known as dull
months in commercial circles. The
trowel nor the plane have scarcely
known days idleness. Lots vacant a
month ago are occupied with substan-
tial business houses or elegant homes.
New streets are stretched out like
giants at full length in parts of the
city that were but short time ago
inaccessible and unattractive, and
building sites OH the same are in ac-
tive demand. Indeed, our lumbermen
and builders have kept the breeze of
improvement up to stiff wind this
comparatively dull summer, which has
invigorated the whole city for the win
ter race.

gloss and freshness Of yquth: Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
strcyed. or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so thai Il new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
OF fouling the hair with II pasty se'li-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional Use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of. and
consequently prevent badness. The

ton of dandruff, which is often 50 I'M

rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely. for HAIR DRESSING,
