RICHARDSON, July 0,-LSpeclal.l +
Too much rain is tho general cry OF
farmers. Wheat and oats are as good
as could DO asked for, but are damaged
to a great extent by wet weather.
Some wheat has already began TO
sprout and grow in the shocks. That
which is not damaged is fine, both In
quantity and quality.
Oats in some places have not been
reaped as yet on account of mud and
water.
Cotton in places is getting very
woedy In consequence OF 80 much
rain. Eight or ten days of pretty
weather would have IL in fine condi-
tion. That which is clear Of grass and
weeds looks we'll.
Corn is as good rs was ever seen.
The yield Is already estimated at 20
bushels per acre.

Galveston.

GALVESTON, July 0.-tSpeclal. The
city council held a special meeting this
evening and finally ratified the new
leases with the WsterwOrks Com
pany. Mr.. Morgan Jones, of Fort
Worth, the principal stakeholder of tho
Waterworks Company, has been in
the city a couple of weeks, negotiating
the new lease, which is far more favor
able to the city than the old one was.
Under the former lease the city
paid the company $1,000 per month
for the use OF street hydrants for fire
purposes. Under the new lease the
city pays but 5000 per month for this
privilege. The contract is for one
year, with the option of renewal for
another year, should the city so choose.
Both sides agree to relinquish and re-
nounce all Intention OF seeking legal
remedy Of the summary abrogation of
the former contract, and the Water;
works Company reserves the right TO
sell its plant at any time during
the present lease. The most import
ant feature oil this new lease Is the
good effect it has upon insurance rates
in the city. Since the company shut
the city off from using the fire plugs
the insurance companies have from
time to time increased their rates
until the matter became q public bur-
den, Insurance rates drop % per
cent, now that tho city Is again pro
tected.
The members Of the Board of Alder
men we're somewhat surprised ut
the conclusion OF the waterworks bus
mess, when Alderman Rosenberg, q
prominent banker, arose In his place
and announced that he thereby ro-
signed the Office of ALDERMAN. The
board refused to accepthis resignation,
but the alderman persisted and the
council adjourned without final ac-
ton. The cause assigned for this ac-
ton is said to be entirely personal.
Mr.. Rosenberg vehemently opposed
the confirmation OF John A. McCor-
mick to be city collector. Rosenberg
declared If Mccormick was confirmed
he would resign. Mr.. Mccormick
was confirmed last Monday evening
by handsome vote. IL Is rumorod
that two other aldermen-Mossrs
MenRrd and Goldtwaite-are contem-
plating resigning their seats for rea-
sons somewhat similar to the one
stated in Mr.. Rosenberg's case.
These matters are tho talk OF the
town.

Psso-Other Specials.
Waco,

WACO, July 9.-[Special. 1T is now
generally believed that w. A. Jack
son, of the cattle firm Of Jackson
Bros, Hill County, and who is presi-
dent Of the Central Texas Live Stock
Association, has DISAPPEARED of his own
accord. Jackson was said to have left
Chicago on June "a, for Louisiana,
Missouri, and after spending a few
days there to come on to his home In
Hillsboro. He has not been seen or
heard of since, and at first foul play
was feared. 1t is now developed that
four Of the Waco banks hold Jackson's
paper to the amount OF $40 500 and that
other debts he owes here will run his
liabilities up to $4,000, Bank
ers who are in a posi-.
ton 20 know, say he owes money In
Dallas, Fort Worth and other cities
and that his liabilities cannot fall
short of 100000. He operated on big
scale, borrowed freely, paid good in
terest and promptly and was regarded
as good for almost any sum. His
friends hero are amazed al his nom
appearance and are loath 20 believe he
has practiced rascality. It is yet a
question Of grave doubt how much
the banks here can make out of his
notes, as the securities are nearly all
personal. Only one bank (the City
NationaD is willing to say it's claim
is fully secured.
W. w. Treadwell, prominent mer-
chant at Abbott, Hill County, and
worth from $4,000 to $60,000,is discover
ed to be an endorser on nearly AL of
Jackson's paper. Treadwell owed
about $4,000 TO banks and merchants
here, and $1,000 to Hillsboro banks, In
his individual capacity. As soon as
it leaked out that Treadwell was on
Jackson's pepper for such u large
amount his (Tresdwell's) creditors
here and in Hillsboro beseiged him In
force. He secured them all, one by
one, processing to give up every dol
lar OF his property. 1t Is said that
Jackson's fall will completely ruin
Treadwell, who is highly esteemed by
all his creditors, is an honest man, who
endorsed freely for Jackson because Oh
the long friendship existing between
the two. 1t is also said that TreadWell
owes considerable money in Dallas
and Fort Worth. The affair has
created much excitement n business
circles to-day, and big delegation OF
Waco bankers, merchants and law
yers went up to Hill County TO look
after their interests. No ona seems
able to surmise what Jackson has
done with all the money, as no is
known to have sold over 1900 head OF
cattle within the last 30 days. Some OF
his friends insist that he will turn up
all right yet.
