The weather was all that could be desired,
and The city hung with flags and bunting,
and It's citizens, with their numbers largely
augmented By arrivals from the interior, as
they crowded the streets along the line OF
the pageant in holiday attire, presented an
attractive appearance. To-day and tonight

which all join with keen zest. The
festivities at Schmidt's garden were inau.

kapil Building

A prevailing characteristic OF ;he build
ing now going on is its steadiness and.
rapldity. The number of workmen em-
ployed seems to be greater than usual, and
the favorable weather of the past few weeks
doubtless contributes to that result IL is
gratifying however, TO the reportorial eye,
and must be to all who love improvement
in its onward march. Perhaps the fastest
work that has been done in Dallas has
been in the tearing down Of the old and the
erection of the new houses on the property
Of Mr.. Gouffe, on Lamar street, between
Main and Elm. Began on very few
weeks since, it has reached above the
second story Of the block and in ten days
time will have its roof; then the work
goes bravely on as no weather can retafd'
or delay The block of Mr.. Eisenlobr on
Main street too, has ben rapidly pushed
as has also the Texas Pacific depot, which
moves steadily to completion. In fact there
is a Justly energy in al! the hundreds Of
building lately erected and in course OF
construction, that plainly shows tee spirit
of a wide-awake population. The reporter
thinks Dallas, young as she is, has hasa
reiuvenation and her efforts Of this season
surpass all her former achievements.

The reduction made in railroad rates by
the trunk lines from all points and the ac-
ceptance of invitations by the most distln-

reunion will exceed that usual upon such
occasions.
The coinage executed at the various
minis during April was S., Sll 900, OF which

that as such he should support it upon a
reasonable allowance for a period of seven
years. Blake takes an appeal. The woman

Wheelock bid 81 200, it is said, for Messrs.
Spau ding, of Denton, and Robinson, for
merly of the Dallas Witcnita. AT all
events, the bidding became lively and
finally Mr.. Wheelock bid 5000 upon
which Captain Adams promptly bid $500
and subsequent proceedings interested MT
Wheelock no more. 1t was knocked OH 10
Captain Adams for the same parties al
$500.
Next came the rolling stock sale. Captain
Adsms made first bid again OF 81 600, when
Mr., Dickinson, of Boston. said that Kimball
car manufacturer, alleged that the sale o
one of the cars to the road was only condi-
tional, and the title still remained in him.
After short talk with Captain Adams, the
latter raised his bid to $500. and it was
bid off to him. The commissioner read
letter from MIR. Chas. Fred Tucker, now in
New York, saying that the First National
bank, of Chicago, claimed between 1000
and 900 tons of iron near Seago.
There is in the neighborhood SAY, GU
labor liens against the road, which will be
protected. The amount of the bondholders'
Indebtedness Is about $500, 600 SO that they
were bidding inside their debt all the time.
There are number of outstanding Juag.
ments that must necessarily be cut out, but
it will, perhaps, be to the advantage
of Dallas that the road has fall
len into the hands of men who
can prosecute it to completion. 1t is
to their interest so to do, especially mas
much as they have acquired the right to
its franchises, which otherwise, II not
ieopardized, certainly would be much I'M
paired in value. We hope and expect from
them prompt action and vigorous prose
cution OF road, which, penetrating the
heart of the piney woods region and stop:
ping at one of the best ports on the gull,
must be remunerative to its stockholders.
A reporter of the HERALD called upon
Captain S. J. Adams and asked him what
would be done with reference to building
the road. He says parties in this city have
bought up nearly all the construction
claims, and have united with eastern CAPT,
talists and that the road will be pushed
forward rapidly to Sabine Pass. They will
have ample capital to push through to
completion, and that the company has not
decided whether they will go to Palestine
or by Fairfield. in Freestone county, as the
country around the former place has been
well filled with railroads, and they think
that by opening up new country through
Freestone it will be to mutual advantage.
He assured the reporter, with great conf
dence, that the road would be completed at
as early period as was possible. The re-
porter left with increased faith in the future
OF our you ng and growing city.

Loss OF Stock by Pneumonia.

We are in receipt of two large orders from
the practical business manager of the Mid
way Park stables, st. Paul, Minnesota,
who has, in all probability, handled more
stock than any other gentleman in the
country, and when he rises to declare
Humphreys Veterinary Specifics the most
prompt, efficient and safe remedies known,
space admits of the net purport of the
communication "Please have our orders
attended to Immediately, as lung fever is
raging in an epidemic form in our
stables, and we would rather chance
Humphreys Veterinary Specific than any
veterinary medicine that we have ever
tried. We have had twenty-seven cases of
pneumonia and have not lost a case the
Specifics work like a charm. Thousands
and thousands of dollars in stock are lost
annually from pneumonia; horses, cattle,
hogs, sheep and even dogs and fowls die
with it, every one of which might nave
been saved by a reasonable amount of care
and use of Humphreys Veterinary Spe-
cifcs. They are, in short, to the stables
what the family Specifics are to the house
hold. Send for Veterinary pamphlet.
