body the gross earnings Of the road from
all sources for the fiscal year ending Aug.

penses for the same period amounted to

MOVEMENT OF CYCLONEs.

Cyclones have a progre ssive motion,
not directly visible but apparent IN the
passing changes of the weather that they
bring The broad storms, often OF but
moderate violence. accompanied by
heavy, wide-apreading sheet Of cloud
with rain or snow, bring
warm weather IN their frona
half and cold In their rear, which ire.
quently covers a considerable number Of
our States at once, exhibits nearly all the
physical pecuhafitus Of cyclones, al.
though this name q not yet generally app
piled 60 them by all mcteorolOglsts.
Ia this country such cycl0u.e storms
neyor leave narrow path OF destructive
action along the track of their central pas
sage, but they are rather beneficial than
otherwise, no they bring the greater slhre
OF our rains. As a whole, these cyclonic
storms travel across our country, from
west 70 east, at a rate Of twenty-five 10
thirty miles an hour, the same storm often
endures for a week and its path may be
followed for several thousand miles.

AND HER OPPORTUNITIES.

There are times when Leadership is
especially needful in'all departments,
In the conduct OF war it is especiallyob-
seryable in great emergencies, and rery
often have the very men appeared just
at the right time and place. So con-
spicuous has been this sudden de'elop-
ment of the necessary human age.cy to
work out great results that orc con-
stantly hears the expression tina some
hero or statesman was raised up by
Providence for the great work.
This truth is no less perceItible in
peace than in war, nor in the financial
world than in any other department OF
human action. In towns that arc
changing into large and extensive marts
sometimes there arises man in the ex'
change who will boldly taxi the lead II
public affairs, and by his own genius
and energy beat down 81 opposition
and surpass all competition. Withou
rejecting upon any man or Sc
of men, it appears to the HERALI
that such a captain would be hailed wit
intense delight here in Dallas just q
the present time. The necessity 70
action is not mitigated by reason Of th
stringency of the times. On the col
trary, IL is the more imperatively Gale

the goal of future eminence. Let us
have some of this electric motive power |
in Dallas. Let property owners unite
with the mass of business men, and lib
orally, and in these enterprises which
can but result in the greatest benefit to
both city and county. Now is the time
for the initiation of projects that will, in
their realization advance Dallas not only
to the first place of Importance in Texas
but in the south. The HERALD would
like to see our thinking men bestir them
selves and our men of business drop for
a season every consideration save that
of the public veal. And it further as
serts that never was so opportune a
time for man of brain and will power
to immortalize him and glorify Dali
las. Who will be the coming man?

A DAYS NEWS FROM WACO
THE CITY IN NEED OF SUGAR
Several Notes Overdue and no Cash with
Which to Liquidate 49, Looking to
tho Bond Issue for Relief
Mrs. Brooks Dead

WACO, Jan. 90 Especial. Prosper
GUS as Waco is, the city government is
nearly always in strait for money.
The mayor had the council together to
discuss ways and meanS.to meet several
notes, nov over due, held by creditors
of the city. There is no money on hand,
and it will be necessary to borrow from
city banks at the rate Of | per cent a
month until a small batch of bonds can
be negotiated and sold. These, to the
amount Of $4,000 are now being on
graved. Taxes will not come in
until April, and altogether
the city government finds it
self pretty hard up. 1t is contended,
however, by the municipal authorities,
| that this state of affairs need not last
long, and that in a few months, by the
! issuance of bonds, based on the $1,000
600 taxable values hero, Waco's paper
can be made to sell at par.
Mrs. Josephine Brooks, wife OF Mr.. j.
w. Brooks, q lady prominent in social
circles here, died this morning of pneu'
monia. This disease Is alarmingly
prevalent and fatal here, superinduced
by the wet and severe weather tina
has prevailed for some time.

WHO doubts the fact that by road to
Athens, Dallas would be vastly benefit
ted? How? say some. Simply by hay
ing line to Athens, which will then
connect with lines to every portion of
the east and north. 1t is not necessary
to explain this to men of intelligence
any more than it is to point out the BEN
efits Of securing independent connec-
ton by building the short road from
Denton to Decatur. What we want is
independent lines, and now we have
the golden opportunity of reaching
every quarter Of the east and northwest
by lines that are and must be independ'
ent and competitive.

THE st. Louis & Texas railway is
managed by master hand. The fol-
lowing extract from letter to General
Passenger Agent Sheldon speaks for it
self, and gives good promise for the i'm
mediate future: "Our line, as you know,
is narrow guage, but aside from this
fact we think we offer equal facilities to
any Of the broad guage, and that the
people of Texas are indebted to us to a
great extent for the cent per mile tar.
iff which is now in effect, there can be
no doubt. We are making preparations
to change our line to a standard guage
and hope before long to be even bettel
able to compete with the systems which
. now mainly control the business IL
Texas.
