In getting TO Fort Worth, little too late,

be the grain OF salt which will save him,
but these things are darkly hidden from
mortal men and nothing human but the
engineer Of secret caucus can fathon
their awful depths Of mystery We have
no hostility towards the governor, but we
would like him far better were there Just
little more sizing In his back bone, and
that Is fact.

| Merchants here are having almost as
much difficulty in getting freight from the
North as during the worst days Of the
strike. This is due to the fact that the
high water in the Mississippi river, al
Birds Point, opposite Cairo, prevents
the Texas & st. Louis narrow gauge from
transferring freight with dispatch or reg
ularity. The narrow gauge road con
meets with the Cairo Short Line at thu
| point above named, and cars and freights
have to be ferrled over the river. Tn,
Missouri Pacific brings some freight, bu
| 1t Is slow and between the two the bust
ness community is considerably annoyed
| The United States district court, Judg,
Mccormick, will convene here Monday
morning, next. District Attorney Pearr,
has determined not to have grand jur,
! summoned, so there Will not be any IN
| dictments. The reason Of this is that th,
court appropriation being exhausted
there is no money to pay grand jurors
The criminal docket in the district cour
will be taken up on Monday, also.
