SIR Your editorial in Thursdays is
sue of your valuable paper, on the sub
ject Of manufactures, etc, afforded me
"a great deal Of pleasure In its perusal,
ltis n-sibiect 10 which ! hope In the
future you Will often call the attention
Of your readers.
our location asa city is unsurpassed
or even approXimnted TO by any other
interior city IN the state. The writer
rerOlieCts the time when Indianapolis,
Indiana, was not ~ large In population
as Dallas II to-day. Our location and
surroundings arc similar to that Of
hers, being locnted in the center Of q
large area Of most excellent agriCul-
tnral binds. llailronds and the devel-
Qpulent Of ihe manufacturing interests
have made indianapolis what she h.
The same means aud energy will make
Dallas the indianapolis of Texas
Dallas has more natural advantages
than indianapolis. We have an unde-
velopOd winter power here, that IL
equal to any in the State, possibly,
with the exception of San Antonio.
ms declaration may surprise most Of
your readers, nevertheless the fact re-
mains.
By damming the river at n point
within, or neartho city limits, head
on fall OF twenty feet may easily he
obtained; then by cutting n canal or
''racep along the bank Of the river, say
one or two miles in length, on which
to erectyGur fouribg mills, your cot
ton and wooden mills, machinery for
water works, etc, etc, each receiving
its power from this canal, and thence
employing its waste water into the river
again below the dam.
This power would be continuous eX-
cept In ease Of eatyChlG tor and Crtrcac
hiW water. The present year there
would have been no interruption. The
worst years, there, would be not
to exceed thirty or sixty days in
all, but an abundance of power could
he hud. Where it IL important that
the power should be uninterrupted, Il
steam engine should he Kept in reserve.
Many establishments in the North
find it profitable TO, and use water
power three and six months i'm the
year, ana steam for the balance Of the
time. The expense Of water power, as
compared with steam, is only about
0ne-eighth.
A dam twenty feet in height, includ-
ing race OF canal could be built, aud
the whole puwer developed for an
amount not exceeding S2o,0O0, and rs
the city owns al OF the property front
on the river west Of Water street.
would suggest That the Board of Adler
men order our very elllcisnt aud capa-
bic city Engineer to examine into the
matter, and to report upon the practi-
cahiity Of the project. No other i'm
pr0vement, in my hum bic opinion,
would .conduce 40 much to the prosper

Monday morning, in which our ex-

TO get through assaulting him. The

ciprocity by way OF reply, and then,
to his establishment, and to the pro

the Secretary broke out like b. whole
olmshouse or the smallpox, in u per-
feet fury or invectives, and decorated
the professor with the title
of liar, poltroon, and so forth
of Mr. Delano'su familiars. Among
other things which he said that are

was this refreshing sentiment: "You

"Can / step into room a moment TO
arrange my dress ?"
The good lady of the house showed the
poor girl into bedroom and returned to
her parlo- The girl did not return for
some time, and the lady sent her little
daughter 10 know the reason. Imagine
the childs surprise to find the strange girl
with nightgown on. in bed, white as
a carved statue, The child hurried down
stairs and told the startling story to her
mother. When the lady Of the house APP
peared At the bedside where the strange
girl lay, her first exclamation was
"Who sent you here
"God sent me here - was the sad though
truthful reply of poor, deranged Mary
Walker. God undoubtedly had sent her
there. for in that household, she received
such care as Christian people give to the
unfortunate and afflicted.
Typhoid fever - said the doctor, when
he answered hurried summons OF the
good people of the household. and Mary
Walker raved about marriage. her home
in Maine, about people in Ottawa, the
Judge, who had deceived her, and such
things as were uppermost in her minu'
She fingered thus four weeks. when death
came to her relief and the poor gil was at
rest.
Letters were written to the judge at OF
tawa. His daughter and other relatives
of his came with expressions OF sorrow.
But they were too late. Finally, after
Mary's death, and when the grave was
dug in the Potters field, to Oak Hill GEM
etery, the Judge made his appearance and
arranged for her proper burial. He paid
all bills, bequeathed her clothing, which
was forwarded from Ottawa, to the lady
who cared for her in sickness. and quietly
turned away. The clothing is represented
as being handsomely made up-undoubt-
edly made for wedding clothes before she
left her home. The Undertaking was
handsomely embroidered and made OF the
finest material, denoting wealth and re-
finement.
..Who is Mary Walker p the reader will
ask. Ne one here knows. In her delirl-
um she said she came from Maine. That
is all. But she was young and handsome.
Her hair was light and her eyes were blue.
Her complexion was very fair. There
seemed to be nothing of evil in the girls
character, and the physician in attendance
saws there was nothing about the girl to
indicate falling from chastity.
Who can help weeping over the sad fate
of this poor girl! Trusting and coniidng
10 mans promises, she travels hundreds
of miles, and meets disappointment and
death among strangers. Her grave should
be marked by mothers, and decorated
with flowers by dutiful and obedient
daughters, so that the lesson OF Mary
Walkers life may be ever a warning to
those who yearn for the romance of mar
rage and of life, and who seek for the full
filment of wifsly duties and responsible
ties outside the line that society and Gus
tom have adopted.
If these lines should NEE; the eye of
parents in Maine who mourn the continued
absence OF daughter, they can learn all
particulars of the death of Mary Walker
by addressing the city physician in Law
renee, Kan.
