DROUGHT IN TEXAS.
Cattle Dying in Forty Eight Counties
Grain Crops Failure.


FORT WORTH, Tex, May 27.-The unpre-
cedented drought throughout North and
West Texas continues Reports received
from forty-eight counties in the dry sec
tion show the crops to be almost entirely
failure. In many counties there will
hardly be corn enough raised to re-
place the seed, while in others the wheat
and oats crops are entire failures
The Oldest settlers say that this is the
longest drought this season known in the
history of Texas. In most counties there is
no grass at all and stock water is getting
very scarce. The range is not las good now
as it was in February last. In regard to
the mortality of cattle on the trails and
the great ranches of the West little that is
authentic can be obtained. Reports agree,
however, that the plains are covered with
dead carcasses, and that hundreds of head
are dying daily of starvation and thirst.
Many herds are too weak to be driven to
water.

THE NIAGARA WATER POWER.
A Company Organized to Develop
and Utilize it.

BUFFALO, Aug. 29.-For years the
study Of many has been to utilize the un-
limited water power afforded by the
Niagara river In the most practicable and
cheapest manner. This immense power
has never been used except to a very
email extent. A company OF capitalists
and experienced men has been organized
and incorporated as the Niagara River
Hydraulic Tunnel and Sewer Company,
whose base of operation is to be at the
village OF Niagara Falls, and whose OBJ
ject Is to develop the water power OF the
great river at an estimated expense of
$3,000,0 900. The main point of the scheme
is to construct tunnel from the water
level below the falls 200 feet below the
high bank OF the river, extending through
the rock to the Upper Niagara river, at
point abont one mile above the falls where
head of 120 feet Is obtained. The tunnel
thence is to extend parallel with the
shore of the river one and one-half miles,
at an average depth of 100 feet below the
surface Of the earth and at a distance of
about 400 feet from the navigable waters
of the river, with which it is connected
by means of cOnduits or lateral tunnels.
Since the Incorporation Of the company,
March 81 last, sufficient land along the
river has been secured, surveyed and
apportioned into mill sites fronting on
the river and on the line of the
proposed tunnel, with ample streets and
docksge, affordiGg facilities for approach
by rail and water to accommodate 23S
mills of 500 horse power each, or 10000
horse power In all. which is the engi-
neer's estimate of the capacity OF the pro-
POSED tunnel. Some idea of the effect of
this tunnel may be had from the fact that
it will develop power largely in excess
OF the combined power in use at Holyoke,
Lowell, Minneapolis, Cohoes, Lewiston
and Lawrence, aud IL will not cost more
than one-tenth of the outlay for the de-
velopment of the power at the places
designated. The company expects TO
found a manufacturing town at Niagara
Falls and eacn one interested TO make q
fortune out Of it. The plan was made by
Thomas Eyershed, one of the State engi-

TABOR AND HILL.
Horace A. W. Tabor, the three months
United States Senator who shot like a
comet through the Washington atmos-
phere, is on his feet once more financially,
owing to the lucky investment of $25, 900
in gold placer claim on the San Miguel
river In Colorado. This river flows for
more than hundred miles through what
used to be the great Ute reservation until
II was opened to settlement. Very little
gold, comparatively, has been taken out,
although several hundreds of thousands
are said to have been realized. Tabor ap-
pears TO have gotten more than the rest
and Is once more casting his eyes on
seat in the Senate. Tabor is very popular
nDenver. He has put up the finest build
ings in the town and has shown
good deal OF public spirit In
various ways. Nathaniel =. Hill,
who wanted to be in the United
States senate, and who is probably the
richest man In Denver, 10 steadily grow
ing richer. He was scientific professor
In Brown University before going out to
Colorado In its young days, and had the
very latest ideas about mining and reduce
ing ores. He was the fret man 10 estab-
lish smelter in Colorado, and with its
profits he introduced all sorts OF improved
machinery and methods. He now owns
the largest smelling establishment in
Denver. Every little while he threatens
to remove IL TO some other place. Then
everyone turns in and begs him not to.
He usually extracts more political tavors
as condition for not executing his
threat. Hill Is a shrewd operator in
many directions. One OF his recent
transactions was the purchase for mere
song of $4,000 acres OF land which was
80 sterile as to be considered worthless.
BY an ingenious engineering device OF
his own invention he irrigated the tract,
and now he sells IL with ease at So an
acre, 81 out OF every So being clear profit.
