TIE ROAD NOhIu.
The Sibley Gazette, commenting on
the recent conference between the
presidents of the Burlington road and
the Minneapolis & St. Louis, to build II
joint line frem Watertown to Bis
marck, says:
This movement would indicate that
the extension of the branch from Wor.
thingtOn to Fargo was postponed for ut
least two or three years, if not wholly.
1t has been stated that it was the in
tentiOn Of the Burlington az soon us
the line from Lake Park to Pipestone
was completed, to take up the track
now running from Lake Park to Nor-
thingtOn. This, however, has not rs.
sumed, so far AS we know, any more
reliable shape than 4 rugnor.
How the Gazette can figure cut any
such result from joint road to Bis.
marck, beats anything in our arithme'
tic. The ADVANCE, last spring, pub
lished over and over again, these very
plans, viz: two lines to Watertown, one

to Bismarck. Even the Watertown
Courier had not then ':caught onto it,
and said the ADVANCE must have some
good authority for its statements o,
they would not be made.

Mr.. G., w. Nj. Duck, ex-sheriff of
Atascosa county, was in the city last
Thursday, and informed us that there
have BEEN considerable losses of horses
through Il strip of country where the
live oak, red and post oak, and the
hickory grow This district runs
through Medina, Atascosa, Bexar,
McMullen, LIVE Oak, Wilson and Frio
counties, and ends about the boundary
line of Dewitt. The land in this dis
trict is generally of n dy nature,
and does not produce any vigorous
growth of grass, though it is for the
better part Of the year on an average,
fair range country. Now there is
little grass in this district, and stock
have been subsistiug, to an extent, for
some time on acorns, to the eating of
which the losses of horses are attrib-
uted, Mr.. Duck, Mrs. O'Brien and
Others have lost quite n number of
horses, and 1t is reported that there are
some losses in w. w Robbins pasture.
where stock have been placed on
account of fattening. The horses when
first taken seem to be drawn together,
as If in loin distemper, and appear to
suffer greatly, virtually walking on
the tips of hind ho'fs. Then they
gradually pitch forward, TALL to the
ground and never get up again. The
atlliction does not relate to the condi-
tion of the animals in any respect, as
some of the latest horses in the county
have fallen prey to the malady. Mares.
or she stock, seem TO suffer most,
which is regarded as rather strange.
Mr.. Duck says the losses, so far, indi-
cate that the disease is in its incipien-
cy, and greater losses are expected
than have occurred a. has been said.
Mr.. Duck attributes tina losses to
acorns, which are not only wormy,
hut We're not so well malured as In
former years. Hogs, however, have
grown very fat on them, though horses
seem to fare badly, If Mr.. Duck is
right,

a fight between two coons on Hous-
ton street drew a small crowd, but it
was too cool for such sport, and they
were encouraged to quit by the lack of
interest exhibited in their encounter.
The fes tive housebreaker is said to
be loose in these quarters and mys-

reported.
The moon has been viewed with in

COMMISSIONERS COURT.
County Lcvies for This Ycsr-Prcpo,ed
Enlargement of the Comfy Clerks
ONCE and Better Security for
the County kscords.

The county commissioners court as
sembled I'm the court house yesterday
The first thing taken UP was road af
fairs, then the county levits Tor tn.
ensuing wear were made. 1t was or
dered "that there be levied and Collect
ed Cor the ensuing year on each on.
hundred dollars OF taxable property in
Tarrant county, the sum oftwenty-tive
cents for general county expenses; the
sum of fifteen cents for payment OF
part Indebtedness including Outstand-
ing bonds, and the further sum of NJ
teen cents for roads and bridges, and
that the taxes on an occupation be
fixed AT the maximum sum allowed by
law aud maximum poll tax, which
shall constitute the entire levy for the
said year
To-day the court will create some
new voting precincts in the county
and appoint presiding officers at cleo
tions.
The court has under consideration
plans Tor the enlargement of the coun-
" court room aud clerks Office. To do
this it will be necessary TO build an
addition To the court house and there
are several plans proposed, but none OF
them have been acted on as yet. One
il to build an addition on the est
side of the court house, between the
two wings, another proposes 10 build
the addition on the north side. There
Is urgent necessity for AN improve
ment of this kind, for the two rooms
are entirely too small for the business
now done in them. Apart from the
question ol room. and by far the most
important consideration, is the means
of giving greater security
to the county records
In the first place the present vault is
too small, and in the second, is not
iire-prouf. The vault is now near the
center of the building with heavy
walls about il, but in case of fire the
immense body of frame work above il
would probably crush or crumblr
these walls Tue immense weight OF
the tower falling in on this vault
would demolish IL. A gentleman who
is intimately acquainted with the
structure of the vault and building |
Yesterday told GAZETTE man that |
he did not consider the present vault |
fire proof and stated that he believed, |
in case of fire, the walls would crum- |
bic under the weight aud heat Of the |
frame work directly over il. 1t is pro- |
posed to turn the present county court
room into huge vault and render II
as near fire-proof rs possible. This ac-
tion would take records from under
the huge mass of frame work and less
en- the danger of the walls being
crushed by the falling tower.
All with whom the reporter conversed |
upon the subject agreed that the pres
ent state of the rooms and vault was
very bad arrangement, and though |
the court has not yet acted upon any |
plan they are agreed that an inn
provement in the premises is necessary. !

Ing cooked. the shell was broken, for
curiosity could no longer be restrain

egg laid upon the plate. But aside
from its size, there wgs nothing pecu-
liar about IL. The white had the

the yolk was of the usual color. 1t

and had no flavor peculiar % itself.
But IL was immense AS IL takes

party unanimously agreed that ostrich
