The farmers of Dallas county and
northern Texas should give their atten-

WAGENHAusER, the proprietor of the
brewery in this city, says he will con-
sumo from 800 to 600 bushels of barley
per day, and If farmers will only con-
slider that he will want this amount in
good weather and in bad, they will see
at once the number OF wagon loads il
will require to accommodate his de-
mands. The farmers of north Texas
should raise barley, because they will
find ready sale for it in this city.

Mr.. THOMAS, Of Illinois, quoted the
Dallas HERALD in the house of repre-

great fraud attempted by CAPT. EADs
and the Galveston syndicate. If mem
bers of congress would read the HERALD
more closely, and be governed by its
views and suggestions, better laws
would be enacted, and many bold-faced
frauds would BIO consigned to oblivion.

and advocates only such measures as
are conducive to tho best interests Of all.

THE Houston Journal has been in the
habit of copying articles from its ex-
changes and crediting them to other
papers, perhaps. The HERALD, in u
jocund mood, used the name of that
good, old ELIJAH instead of ELISHA,
and just as the HERALD hoped for, the
editor of the Journal jumped att like a
sucker at piece of red flannel. The
HERALD is content; it caughtt the very
fish it was after.

THE News says: Galveston already
pays more taxes than any county in the

THE Clifton Sentinel soliloquizes thus:
"Wonder if the Dallas and Fort Worth

the editors of the Fort Worth papers
only can lay just claim to lineage from
that family.

very significant question: "When hay

lands are worth to those who occupy
them from % to so cents an acre.

The question of county organization
has been discussed on a plain business
basis and it is the opinion of all with
whom we have conversed, that taking
into consideration the recent assessment,
it would cost less than to remain unor-
ganized, provided an honest board of
county commissioners is appointed.
That these will be honest men, there
can scarcely be a doubt, as the large ma
jority OF citizens now in the county are
and will he in favor of honest men for
commissioners, plenty of whom can be
found here: The new law respecting
the organization of counties, pas ;ed 1T
the last session of the legislature, gives
the governor no option In the matter
and completely does away with his ap-
pointing a nonresident for commits
sioner. The law was passed at the re-
quest Of the present governor and COM

point Us commissioners the. three men
recommended in petition signed by
one hundred and fifty qualified voters;

us an opportunity Of recommending
good men as commissioners. There are

The Mustang.

The wild horse of America, although
now native to the soil, is descended from
the tribes of wild horses that still rove
the plains of Central Asia When the.
discoverers of this continent first landed,
there were no horses anywhere in either
North or South America. Centuries be-
fore, the horse had been introduced into
European countries from Asia, and had
become common all over that continent.
When Columbus arrived here on his Sec
ond voyage, in 1893, he was accompanied
by one Cabaa de Vaca, who brought
with him number of horses, which
were landed in Florida.
Cortez took horses with him to assist
in the conquest of Mexico, as did Fizarro
in his conquest CT Peru. The natives
were greatly affrighted when they beheId
these strange animals. At first they sup
posed that the man and the horse were
one complete creature, something like
the centaur of which we read in ancient
fable. And when they saw the rider dis
mount and Gisengage himself from his
steed, their amazement knew no bounds.
In time, the savagts learned that tho
horse was an animal that had been sub
dued by man, and that it was separate
creature; but they long dreaded the horst
of the Spaniards as beast of prey. And
when the horses escaped from their mas
ters and made their way into the forest,
as they did after space, tie natives
avoided them as something to be shun.
