to the short cotton crop. There has
been and Is a depression in speculative
zeal estate caused by the excessive
stringency Of the money market dur
ing the past summer Our manuiac-
tories are generally in fair condition,
EXCEPT the cotton mills, These have
for the past four months been de-
pressed from an overprOduction of
goods. This matter, however, is cor
recting ITSELF and nearly all the mills
are now running on full time and claim
TO be making small profits. l have
written informally and briefly on the
first three topics you propose; now for
the outlook toI the future.
Our people are In the main engaged
in agriculture, and there is an improve

Their material condition is gradually
and slowly improving. As their con-
dition improves the mercantile inter-
est ! benefited, and while no boom in
business Is expected, yet no reason pre-.
sents itself why business should not be
good
Merchants exchange: / regard the
present depression In business largely
due to the abnormal development
of certain industries, thereby
unduly stimulating production be-

present depressed condition will de-

the remedy simply to await the con
sumption 20 equal the production.

Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEN Jan. 1.-THE EXan1i-
ner this morning publishes long list
of interviews with prominent tax
paying citizens on the one red-hot
local issue-the policy of bonding the
city for Improvements. In nearly
every instance the expression of senti-
ment is in favor OF improvements, but
there is large measure OF Dissent to
the proposition in the shape IN which
II is to be submitted TO the people, fore
shadowing its defeat at the polls.
Burglars are getting unusually ac-
tive in this city again. They do not
make heavy raids, but hardly a night
! passes but somebody loses something,
| from business house or residence.
superb weather, equal TO spring, has
prevailed to-day, and the churches
had large attendance.

AN EXCITING EPISODE AT A
SEANCE.
Exposure of a Famous Medium.

STRAWBERRY POINT, Iowa, Novem-
ber 3O.-C. E. Wyman, the spiritualistic
medium, has been holding seances at the
residence of w. B. Field for couple of
weeks past, the attendance being large
each evening, and the medium not for
getting to collect dollar admission fee
from each person in attendance. Quite
a number of citizens have been worked
up to high pitch, several being on the
verge of insanity over the adroit manner
in which he brought up the so-called
spirits of their departed friends. Several
skeptical young men attended the seance
Saturday night with the determination
of exposing what they considered pal
pable fraud. Accordingly one of them
managed to secure seat near the cabi-
net from which the spirits materialized.
The clothing of the medium was sewed
securely to a chair in the cabinet, the
circle formed. and the lights turned
down. Soon the spirit of the father of
one of the company was materialized
and reached out to shake hands with his
son, when the young man near the cabi'
net grappled with the messenger from
the ether world and threw him to the
floor
The believers Immediately hurled
themselves upon the daring young man,
upon which the other skeptics took a
hand in the affair, and for awhile pande-
monium reigned, with the spirit believr
ers and unbelisvers rolling on the floor
of the dimly lighted room. The lights
were at length turned up, when to the
amazement of the believing circle, the
materialized spirit proved to be the me-
dium in an exceedingly airy attire, while
the clothing out of which he had slipped
remained sswed to the chair.
The indignation was great, among the
spiritualists as well as others, and tar
and feathers were strongly talked of for
time, but finally cooler Judgment pre-
vailed and warrant was sworn out for
Wyman's arrest for obtaining money
under false pretenses. A hearing was
had before Justice Baird, Wyman plead.
ing guilty, and in default of bail he was
remanded to the county Jail to await the
action of the grand jury.
Wyman is one of the most noted me
diums in the West, being the chief me-
dunn at the recent Iowa Spiritualist
Campmeeting in Clinton, and coming tt
this place from Evanston and Chicago
where he has been holding successful
seances.
