A Dry Land Grass.

A new kind of dry land grass IL at
tracing some attention particularly
from the newspapers and the RANGE
hoping that herein may be a remedy for
the tramped out barren spots about
headquarter ranches and much used
springs, gives its readers the following
remarks from the Pacific Rural Press:

We gave an engraving and description
of Paspalum 0yatum,a perennial grass
suitable for dry lands, aud which we

Since that time we have seen records of
experience with this grass in the south
ern states which lead us TO refer TO il
again. for IL seems, from the estimate
IN which 1t is held there, to be certainly
worth a test under u conditions. We
read that IL grows any where in the

cleyelaad's Character.

The hlgb-toned magazine writena and
other Boston and New York dudes
who contend thai this present cam
paign Is a question 1T moral character
of the candidates rather than the prin
eiples upheld by the parties which they
represent, are supporting Cleveland
This situation influences the digging
down into the slums and dragging up
the private record 0f the saint OF the
dudes 10 see what they call pure aud
high-minded morality. IL is found
that Grover Cleveland is n seducer and
alfbertine Of the yilest aud most de-
graded stamp. Report says that the
governor. although a bachelor, has thir.
teen children. but doubllss this Is over
drawn. Certain 1t Is that Buffalo re-
publican newspapers on their columns
each week with the reports Of the
~wickedness Of this pink Of perfection
that well directed detective work is
bringing TO light. IL rs well that the
public should know these facts AS an
indication of lust what constitutes a
pure man" In the minds of Geo. W.
Curtis and his ilk. OF these stories
the following is a sample: Rev.
C. X. West, the editor of the Ad-
vance. the Congregational paper of Chi
cage. has received the following letter
from a brother clergyman 0f Buffalo:
BUFFALO. n. Y, July u.
DEAR ADVANCE: IL may he too late
TO do you any good. and may not be
needed. but I. feel moved to warn you
against saying much To the cIidit of
Grover Cleveland. He is a libertine.
No Christian should condone his
crimes 80 far as 20 commend ms
candidacy. About seven yeats ago he
seduced the head clerk in the cloak de-
pertinent In Flint Il Kent's, leading
merchants here. He kidnapped the
woman after the boy was born, sent
her - the Catholic insane asylum, and
took the child from her. She escaped
got Mr. ". Whitney Ia help her, nnally
settled, and gave up the child for $500.
This know to be true, for ! have ii
confirmed by Flint Il Kent, by Mr..
Whitney, her attorney, and by Mrs.
Williams Baker, where the woman
boarded.
Mr.. Cleveland has the reputation
here OF the grossest RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Judge James sheldon, of the superior
court. told me this week that he had
direct proof of his recent attempt to
seduce a young girl of excellent char
acter, but she, becoming aware Of his
intent. repealed him 80 spiritedly that
he beat a nasty retreat. | have writ
ten to the Independent ard Christian
Union. and they will play shy Of him,
though they did speak of him rs IRE.
%proachable. Having seen nothing in
the Advance 10 alarm me, ] did not
write you, but II will do no harm for
you TO know the facts. Yours.

Last night we had good shower of rain,
ana night before last the heaviest rain Of
the season. The whole country was
aHoat with water. 1t did not come too
soon, for all crops not vet harvested were
suffering greatly from dry weather and
not winds. Corn is now insured for a
Soou crop, and our farmers are in hiph
Slee. During the heavy rain storm On
luesuay night the lightning PLAYED
some strange freaks in Abilene. If

uoWn the ilue Of the chimney, and after
making fiery trail through three rooms

Mr.. j. W. Watkins, of the Fort Worth
Pan Electric Telephone company, is in
our town this week negotiating with our
business men relative to establishing n
system OF telephone communication in
Abilene. The bank of VIM. Cameron &

About five weeks ago we telegraphed

man OF Jones county, lost $4,000 in

Diluer found these bonds about two

although little bleached by their four
weeks exposure, they were uniniured.
About twelve cowboys came into town
this morning and attempted to CAPTURE

First-kaufman county has twice

occasions conceded the Senator to Dallas

RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE.
Some Facts Concerning the Service in this
State.

State.
since the new fiscal year commenced
there have already been several i'm.
proyements i'll the mail service. SO far
seven new men have been appointed in
the State, as follows: Denison and Tav.
Tor railway postoflice, two; Denisou
and Houston railway postotlice, two:
! TeXarkana and Houston railway post.
Office, one; Texarkana and FL Paso rail
way postoflice, one; Dallas and Kemp
railway postoflice, one.
Dallas and Kemp railway postonice is
new service, and is a great help, and
highly appreciated by offices located on
! that route.
This much has already been done. and
as there have been sufficient appropria-
tons for all necessary Improvement in
the railway mail service for the present
liscal year. it is our opinion and hone
that TINS is only the commencement Of a
| GOOD work; that other additional an
poIntlnents will soon follow; that Texas
VIII, at least, receive justice. Sufficient
appropriations have been made for
establishing one or more full
llrst class railway postoflces in
IN THIS state. The PoStnaster-Genc
inc General Superintendent and the
DIVISION upcrintendent are all in favor
OF II, ana 1t will be but short time be-
tore they will be established.
The postal authorities now see what is
needed in Texas; they begin to realize
the situation of things, and our thanks
are due our Representatives for helping
us out. We have said heretofore thai
| we needed more men in the service that
the mails were increasing too fast for
! the present force throughout the State.
Larger and better equipped cars also are
needed on the heavier lines in the State.
There is and ever will be a constant in.
crease in the mails of this fast growing
STATE, and there should be, in Justice to
Inc public and TO the postal clerks, a
| corresponding increase in the force and
| facilities Tor handling and working it. II
mas been reported that the Postmaster
! General Will soon make an inspecting
! tour throughout the State. and that he i,
IN favor Of fast mail between st. Louis
! ana San Francisco, over the poXarkana
* El Paso railway postollice. This
! VIII be an Improvement that will be
lully appreciated by the business men
ana general public throughout the State.
! Again 1t is rumored that the Seventh
| division of railway mail service will
| soon be divided and q new division
| formed, composed of Texas, Indian
| Territory and New Mexico, with head
quarters at Dallas, Texas. If such
| he the case, and we do not
doubt that it is-Dallas will be most
important place in postal circles. Mr.
| II. \. Parish, the genial and efficient
chic clerk Of the Railway Mail Service
Of Texas, is in the city
and is arranging matters
about the now appointees and establish
ing service on the Dallas Il Kemp rail
road. Mr.. Parish certainly deserves
credit for the manner in which he has
managed the service in the State during
the past fiscal year. If there is new
division fOrmed--which will be the
! Tenth division Of the Railway
Mail System OF the United
States--it would be hard to find
better man than he is for Superin-
tcndent.
