LUCK vs.. IsDUsTRy.-Once upon time, about
twenty-five years ago, man died leaving eacn Oh
two SONS money enough to buy hundred acre
farm in new State. The two sons came west
and each bought one hundred acres OF wood LAND
The first SON, James, was industrious, energetic
and frugal. The second son, John, was idle,
apathetic and shiftless Each built house and
began clearing his land. James worked steadily
and sturdity. and, in the course Of few years
had his hundred acres of land all cleared and an,
der cultivation. John, on the contrary, loleo
away his time, went to horse races and chicken
fights. and, when his brother had finally cleared
all his land John had but thirty acres unaer cui-
tivation. So the years passed and each nIotneI
raise family and is now middle aged. Benolo
the result of industry, energy and fruganty a
compared with apathy, idleness and shlftlessness.
James raises large quantities OF wheat ana corn
yearly, and by selling the grain succeeds when
freipbts are not too high, in making both ends
meat. Having cleared all his farm, he has nc
wood, but buys it or else uses coal st ~ q ton
John does not raise much grain, corn or wheat
but sells wood to lis brother and the nelghbors 81
So cord He has seventy acres OF wood land
and is very wealthy. Last year he was sent TO the
Legislature. He has seventy acres OF wood land
and does not care whether school keeps or not

distance was so short that he
was filled with slugs. Amputation
was necessary. Carl Horn was arrested
for the shooting to-day. The two men
married sisters and Iorn suspected
Soger of too much intimacy
with his wife. She was
going to well after water with Soger
when the latter was shot. The trial

Heavy Rains Aloug the Denver Line
Other Notes.


BOWIE, TEX, June lS.--A driving
rain blew up from the southeast yes
terday about 8 O'clock, and for an
hour or more poured without stint,
making terra firma not very firm
after all. The rain continued, but less
violently, most of the evening. 1t is
feared small grain is hurt some by the
beating rain.
The regular south-bound passenger
train from Harold did not come
through on account of the washed
condition of the road between the
Falls and that place. The north.b bound
train transferred passengers, etc at a
point about fifteen miles from the
Falls, passing through Bowie at 1850
last night. Trains will run irregularly
for few days until the new road gets
in better condition.
1T is expected that the corps OF en-
gineers sent from Dallas to survey the
different lines for the projected Dallas
" Northwestern railway will arrive in
Bowie tonight. Arrangements have
been made TO extend them proper
courtesies upon their arrival.
Judge V, X. Porter, lawyer of
Plattsburg, Clinton county, Mo who
has been in Fort Worth for several

ing day or two in Bowie visiting DIR.

During the present Year all OF these

The condition OF the cotton crop is
anything but tiattering. A gentleman
who has been over the county re-
Gently is of the opinion that two.thirds
OF the crop are destroyed, while others
believe that not more than ope-half Is
eaten. 1t is sufficient to know that
great damage has been done. No es-
Innate OF the loss can be made at this
time. Many farmers are replanting
with cotton or corn and sewing millet.
The greater portion of the wheat and
oats crops will be in the shock at the
close OF the week and the yield will be
heavy. Corn never appeared more
promising. The late rains and warm
weather are pushing corn rapidly and
the crop will soon be safe.

fishing the list of counties that have

The farmers are very busy
at the present time harvesting
their wheat and oats There has
been an increase of at least 100 per
cent. in all farm products over last

that there Is no finer farming county
in the state than Runnels.

OVER THE ATLANTIC.
oontInusd from First Page.

Senior Sagasta denied that cholera ex.
listed in Madrid and severely arraigned
the government for asserting to the
contrary, thereby doing great injury
to the commerce of the capital as well
as TO many other interests OF
Madrid. The prime minister
and the minister OF the interior de-
Tended the action Of the government
in makinS public the facts regarding
cholera. They said the government
was DESTROYS OF preventing any alarm
among the people which would be
caused by false reports in circulation
IL they were allowed to go I'M
challenged and uncontradicted.
The official report of cholera in Spain
yesterday is as follows:
Valencia city-New cases, 10; deaths,
6.
Valencia province-New cases, 169;
deaths, rs.
Muncia city--New cases "a; deaths,
20.
In the villages adjacent to the city
OF Muncia--New cases ia; de,ths, So.
Elsewhere in the province of Mum
cia-New cases GA; deaths, IS
Castellon de La Plana province
New cases l03; deaths, As.
Three of the four commissioners ap.
pointed to investigate the subject re-
port that incubation with cholera vi
rus is harmless; that they advise that
it be permitted, on the ground that 1t
will tend to prevent panic.
Six hundred and thirty-two new
cases of cholera and Isl deaths are re-
ported in the cities of Muncia, Nslen-
cha and Castellon de la Plaua during
the twenty-four hours ending at mid
night last night.
At Madrid there was one new case
and six deaths.
