THE PA yRANDLE OF rExAS

The following extract from the annual
report of President Jones, of the Fort
Worth & Denver railroad, submitted at
the recent annual directory meeting, and
printed in full in THE GAZETTE
yesterday, well deserves repetition:
"one of the great drawbacks to the set
tlement OF the Panhandle OF Texas has
been the long distance which emigrants
had to travel by rail to reach it. They
have had to go from the North to Fort
Worth, Tex, then via the Fort Worth &
Denver road north again until thew
reached the Panhandle, distance of a
thousand miles or more from Kansas CITY
or st. Louis, whilst now, with the differ
ent railway systems in Kansas, extending
three lines into the Panhandle, they will
be enabled to reach their destination by
travelling less than one-half that distance
"The overflow of emigration into the
Panhandle is very large, going In advance

A CONGRESSMAN IN TROUBLE.
james w Reid OF North Carolina Raises
Monty Fraudulently az d FIeos.

RALEIGH, N c., Dec, 15.-The air is
full of talk concerning the criminal con-
duct of Congressman James w. Reid Of
the Greensboro district. Before the cleo
ton Reid was publicly charged with OBJ
tanning money from the Wasbua bank in
Winston, by using an order of Rocking
ham county, of which he was treasurer,
when, in fact, the order was issued for
the purpose of paying the county debt 1t
is now ascertained thatReid raised $50 900
on property not worth over $4,000; that
he has pledged his salary as Congressman
until the 4th of March to more than one
person. He raised money in this way,
obtained ten days. leave of absence, and
is now reported to have gone to Canada.

SPEAKING OF Jacob at the well and the

smile In her eye, and put her arms caress-
ingly around our neck, and put her lips SO
close to ours that we could feel the in
splration OF her soft, seductive sigh,

In avoiding determination" A good
road in the county helps all portions OF
the county. A good road to Fort Worth,

is not TO the benefit alone of those towns,
but of every man who has occasion to
use such road. One good road will bring
another. Other counties have worked
county conyicts to marked advantage,
and Tarrant should profit by their ex-
ample. THE GAZETTE would counsel no
undue haste in the discharge OF any pub

Tarrant is an urgent one, and whatever Is
done to supply that need should be done
as speedily as possible.

WAITING FOR WATER.
The Flour Mills Grinding slowly
and the Output Light.

The Northwestern Miller, in its review
of the flour situation, will say tomorrow:
Our flour output continues light, but this
is solely due To II lack OF water power. The
water ali last week was poor. and few of the
mills made satisfactory run. There were
fifteen mills which recorded an output. and
the production was 1850 barrels, averaging
l., $50 barrels daily, against 5000 barrels for
the preceding week, and "A, 900 barrels tor the
corresponding time in 1885. Up TO this noon
there was repetition OF last weeks situa-
ton, most of the mills desiring 10 run, but
the water being low and holding the produc-
ton in check At the above hour there were
thirteen mills in operation, but only a small
proportion of them were able TO do more
than one-half TO two-thirds their usual
amount OF work. One small mill was forced
TO close down entirely. The capacity OF the
mills in operation was about $4,000 barrels
and L., 900 barrels were probably being man
ufactured. The weather is mild during the
day, but rather cold at night, and is not es-
pecially conducive TO better power. Not a
very long time eau yet remain, however, be-
fore there is enough water 10 run the mills
with. Last year the water came up between
the dates OF April and 3. and in 1854 on
March %. Several mills now idle are awaiting
an improvement in the water power, and will
be started up for strong work as soon as thatoc-
ours. One mill Is running with steam and water
combined, and another one would be had IL
not broken down. The -four market is fairly
steady. There is II good export demand for
bakers and low-grade -four, but not quite as
nigh prices are being offered as u week ago.
domestic trade is less active.

In THE A&CENDENCY.
That is the Condition Of the SchOck
Stock In the Race.

The positions in the great match race
were materially changed yesterday. Schock
came on the track as fresh as daisy" as
he expressed it. He ran into the rink and
danced a lively hompipe before starting.
Woodside also appeared in fine condition
and declared thar he felt better than when
he went to work Tuesday morning. Schock
took the lead, WOOdside trailing for a few
laps and then falling back a half lap. The
first hour was devoid of any interest further
than the pluckiness of Schock, and the per-
siStency Of Woody" They went flying
around and around at a siXteen-mile gait,
to the surprise of the audience. At noon
SchOck began to squirt and gained a lap.
This was the first time he had passed the
other in the race. During the next hour he
spurted again and again a little.
and so on, until in the evening
he passed Woody about at will.
Indeed, at 9 O'clock Schock had made a
gain of eight miles, or about the same
gained by Woodside on the first day.
SchOck didnot leave the track all day, only
to change wheels. 1t was when Woody
went to his rooms and was off the track
eight minutes that the faces of his hackers
looked long. This was particularly the
case with Mr.. Smith. the Englishman. At
the same time, SchOck's hackers bore a
confident smile. 1t was reported that
WOOdside had given up on account of lame
ness. Wallace, the ticket broker, rushed
into the room, and by dint of hard urging
got him OH the wheel again.
During the evening the report became
prevalent that Savage, who was training
Woodside. was relieved. and that Wallace
is to take his place. There was a deal of
+oI IL inst hnf al, l..
has done his best and that Smith has taken
Woodside from his care to the West hotel.
Savage protested most vigorously against
such procedure.
The race from o'clock to the close was
uneventful. Woodside trailed Schock the
entire time until the last lap, when Woody
made brilliant burst of speed and passed
to the front. Woody is not dead yet, 4"
yelled an excited enthusiast. ''Tll bet you
500 to $50 that he is, or that he does not
win the race" came from a
prominent sport, but the first speaker
would not place his money. In this respect
it may be interesting to state that betting
from 3 O'clock to the end of the day was in
favor of Schock. and the only bets of the
evening were made on the basis of 2 to l
in favor of Schock. SchOck reeled off the
same number of miles as yesterday. The
drum corps of the l.. p. Plummer post G.
A. II. responded to Woody's invitation and
was present last night and played through
ont the evening. When the music struck
up the lays spurted. The last nalf hour
was extremely exciting, and the cheering
for Schock was vociferous. Schock
took things cool and easy and laid a deal of
the time on the handle of his machine and
rested. To-day will be an important day
in the race. There is now no doubt that
the worlds record will be broken-that is
1,007 miles.
THE SCORE BY HOURS.
