Exhibit West Texas,

Supplemental to previous article,
urging the citizens Of Fort Worth to
go to work and arrange for a complete
local exhibit at the New Orleans ex-
position, THE GAZETTE now extends
the arguments therein given to the
whole of West Texas. OF course they
apply with equal perlinency to the en-
tire state aud all ofour cities and towns,
but for special reason we desire
thorough compilation Of the resources
of Western Texas to illustrate the
present condition OF that part of the
state. There is prevailing opinion
abroad that West Texas-that is, all
west Of Fort Worth-ls rude and
rugged part, uncivilized, without
government, organization or law,
given over to the terrorism OF cow
boys, Indians aud border desper-
ADDE'S, and the last place In the world
for the serious consideration Of sober
immigrants. We want these people to
learn the exact truth. Let Colorado
City, Abilene, El Paso, Wichita Falls,
Henrietta, Mobeetle and the other
numerous and thriving towns of the
great West prepare exhibits Of their
present condition and resources, show.
ing the wealth, growth and orderly
society of the surrounding country,
and thousands of people viii learn for
the first time at New Orleans that
West Texas is not the abode of rufiian-
ism, but of as prosperous and thrifty a
class of agriculturists as inhabit any Of
the newer states. The collection
should Include all the cultivated and
cultivatable produces OF the country,
showing the psheral nature and average
producsiSn of cotton, corn, wheat and
opAs, Of fruits and nuts, of grasses and
vegetables and all the varied products of
the soil. The story will be revela.
ton and wonder to thousands who
think Of West Texas as only desert
country, where q decade ago Conan
ches were the only Inhabitants, and
where, in the general opinion, mans
sole protector is the revolver and bowie
knife.
There is no time to lose II this part
ofthe state would avail itself of the
greatest advertising scheme of the
time. twill be profitable invest
ment to every owner of property in the
West 70 give little time and money
to preparing such an exhibit of their
wealth and resources as we have sug-
gested. The state commissioner, Col.
Elliott, and the United States commis-
sioner, Mr.. Gammage, viii give all
the assistance in their power, and II
requested to do so would doubtless
give their presence to any meeting
having for its object the advancing Of
such an enterprise. But IL anything
is to be done II must be done at once
or the opportunity will be Lost.

TERRELL, TEX, Sept. SO.-Last
night an intelligent and appreciatiYe
audience witnessed the performance of
the Georgia Wonder at Whome's
opera-hOuse.
To say that these exhibitions are
simply wonderful is not putting the
matter too strong. While four strong
men were trying to force chair to the
floor, one OF them weighing at least
one hundred and forty pounds threw
his whole weight on the chair,
his feet entirely clear from
the floor, yet she baiiisd their com.
bined strength amid the enthusiastic
cheering of a delighted audience, Two
chairs were broken to fragments by the
efforts of two men to hold them still.
Another feature of the exhibition
made forcible impression ON the re-
porter and that Is the TACT that after
battling the resistance of fifteen strong
men on the stage in three series Of sue
cessive experiments she appeared
almost as fresh and vigorous as when
first presented TO the audience. She
is simply wonder and no doubt OF

Malplea, a Mexican said to be a re
porter for the Daily Republicans was
bounced from the Blue club meeting at
the courthouse on Sunday night and
the Republicans are bowling over it.
The facts ia the case from careful in-
vestigatiou are that the meeting was
not a public meeting but a special ses-
sion of the Blueclub which is q Demo-
cratic organization, Malpica was ex-
PEELED from this club as he has been
from all others except the Republicans
for treachery, theft and lying. A pro-
vision in the Blue club constitution is
that no expelled person can sit in a
session, and for this reason he was
asked to vacate, not because he is n
Republican or Mexican. 1t was not
known that he was q reporter.
