The Medicine Lodge correspondent
of the Hazelton Express writes as fol-
lows: The Express is stirring up the
animals from what your correspond
ent can learn. We mean on the real
estate agitation. Men call here every
day and go away disappointed and dis
gusted with high prices on lots. Some
of the holders really do think that this
pastoral prairie village is New York
City" We commend the above re-
marks to our real estate owners. They
should not stand in their own light too
long. Our opportunity to become a
city will not last forever.

Governor Ireland's Proclamation.

AUSTIN, March Ex-Governor Ireland
to-day issued the following proclama-
tion touching the strike:
Whereas, 1t has been made known TO
me that disturbances and violations Of
law are OF frequent occurrence on va
rious lines Of railroads in this State; that
trains conveying freight and passengers
are interfered with by persons having
no connection with the road; that
bridges have been burned, spikes have
been Withdrawn and tracks Gerailed to
the great detriment of commerce and
travel and the placing of life In great
peril. 1t Is said that this condition of
affairs on the railway lines has been
brought about by the organization
known as the Knights Of Labor, ana that
the persons engaged In these lawless
deeds are members Of that order.
Whether this Is true or not, IL is hardly
Creditable that this order, or the best
elements Of It, can countenance the vio-
latiOn of law mentioned. Employees
have the unquestiOned moral and legal
right to quit the services OF their en-
ployers whenever their employment Is
not remunerative and satisfactory. pro-
vided such action does not violate their
OOUtTdCls Dut When lucy Qull anu sever
their relations, 1t is the duty of those
quitting to get out Of the way and leave
any others who may wish to take the
service abandoned free to do SO. In
timidation Of, or interference with per-
sons desiring to work is gross violation
OF the rights of freemen, and can not be
tolerated in q free government.
Now, therefore, |, John Ireland. gov
ernOr of Texas, do hereby issue this, my
proclamation, warning all persons, who
ever they may be, engaged in any said
unlawful acts, that they are entailing
on themselves disaster and ruin, and
that offended and outraged justice must
sooner or later overtake and punish
them unless they promptly cease their
lawlessness. | no not undertake to say
who these lawless persons are, or who
is right in the controversy, but viola
tions OF law and a disregard for the
rights of the people cannot be justified
or excused. | appeal to the law-sbiding
people throughout the State to aid the
civil officers in restoring order and In
executing the laws, and in discounte-
nancing in every way possible this alb
normal condition. ! respectfully appeal
20 all civil officers, Judges. Sheriffs, Con-
stables and CITY officials to make use OF
all means given them by law TO restore
order, with the assurance that every
power of the State, If lawfully invoked,
will be used to enforce the law.

A Cruel Deception.

Mr.. Joe p. Devine, who has one of the
finest stock ranches in the West, stu
ated 10 miles north OF this city, is al
ways alive to all the new methods ap-
pertaining to his business, ready to give
them all due. and fair trial.
A few months ago he saw an advert Sc
ment Of a stump eXterminator, and as
he had large number of the mighty OBJ
structiOns he has great pride in neat
ness, he determined to give it trial.
He sent his money for it and paid the ex-
press charges. IL was a chemical prepa-
ration TO be introduced in the stump by
an augur hole, and then in short time
the stump was to burn like tender, not
leaving the semblanee of root. The
directions were followed, and after wait
ing the proper time fire was set to the
stumps, but not n spatter or a blaze did
it emit. More dry trash was applied,
and still no burn. Then it was thought
best TO split the top little to give the
fire foothOld, and the axe struck solid
rock, and discovery was made. In
stead of the wood being made more COM
bustible it had been petrified, and joe
now has field of petrified stumps for q
time indefinitely. He has lost much faith
In improved methods of getting rid OF
stumps.
