CLEBURNE.
The Artesian Well Express ONCE Closed.
Cotton Receipts.

Inc AINcblhh AAAPhNhb OtiiNS NAohNNs
Cotton Receipts.
Special to the Gazette.
CLEBURNE, TEX, Sept. St is re-
ported that when the pipe was put in the
artesian well this morning it was discov-
cred for the first time that the well was
392 feet deep instead of over 500 feet, as
before estimated. 1t seems that the mis-
take in measurement arose from comput-
ing the depth simply from the cogs on
the wheel, which were not reliable. The
discovery of water at so short distance
from the surface will be great blessing
to this county. The drilling inside the
tube will begin again to-day, and it is
expected that flowing water will very
soon be secured.
The Pacific Express company have
closed their doors here. The late decision
of the supreme court of the United
States in references to express companies
contracts with railroads is the cause of
the suspension of the business at this
place.
Cotton receipts up TO date are Cos bales,
OF which the Alliance yard have received
forty-four bales.
The protracted meeting is being still
held at the Methodist church. Rev. Mr..
Eranks Is expected to preach tonight.

WHO WILL DOMINATE IN THE
EAST3

The announcement has come over the
cable that the car OF Russia will ere long
assume the title OF emperor of Asia.
D'Israeli prevailed upon the queen Of
England to take the title Of empress of
India. 1t was one Of Beaconsaeld's
shrewd moves of policy, designed to
typity British sovereignty in the East,
thus impressing the nations OF the world
no less than the Indian subjects OF SOW
ereign who had never set foot In India.
Asia Is in the East and India is an integral
part OF Asia. For years Russia and
Great Britain have been facing each other
IN the East. The British have simply
held what they bad years ago. Their &C.
quisitions for the past quarter OF cen.
tury have been more nominal than any,
thing else. Their energies have beer
rather directed to the development Of In
dia than Wrestling new territory, and 1t Ii
a fact that their policy OF development hal
been enlightened and progressive. India
has been quieted year by year until 1t.
people have grown so tolerant OF British
dominion that Indian soldiers, who wer,
Mohammedsus, marched in English rec
and under the British dag to fight agains
their co'religionists, the Moslem rebels
who were ranged under Arab Pasha',
banner in Egypt, The civil and indus
trial development OF India under En-
glands latser-day rule has GlsC
been wonderfully benencent. Rail
ways traverse the country and
comprehensive system OF drainage ha.
brought vast areas of rich land under
cultivation. India is now looming up as
one Of the great grain and cotton produc.
ing countries Of the world. All this is
due TO the wise policy OF Great Britain,

Panhandle Notes.

CLARENDON, TEX, Sept. MATTERS
are quiet in the panhandle, not many
sales OF stock being reported. The Spade
ranch has lately sent 200 head to New
Kiowa, and the Carhart ranch 500 to the
same place.
When about fifty miles this side OF
New Kowa the little child of Mr.. "A. s.
Mckinney, the foreman of the latter
ranch, was bitten by rattlesnake and
died IN little while afterward. Great
sympathy is felt for Mr.. Mckinney, his
only other child having died Just before
he started ON the drive.

EVERY year numerous Jews, from
Germany and Russia, come as immigrants
to this country. They bring many for
eign customs and ideas with them, but 1t
is to the credit Of the race that these
Jews are not anarchists or socialists.
They are orderly, industrious and thrifty,
and the Jewish acquisitlveness makes
them strong respecters Of property
rights They may peddfe and sell second
hand clothes until they get start,
thereby inviting sneers, but they do not
congregate in beer saloons and preach a
community OF property, nor do they
manufacture and throw dynamite bombs,
Their course presents a strong contras,
TO the behavior of other foreigners, foi
IT is sad fact that In every list Of an.
archists nine out of every ten names are
found to be those Of Poles, Bohemians
or Germans.

BAYARD will surely feel that the path
way Of fame is not nowery one. The
London Times brings serious charges
against the American consulate at
Morocco, that Americans are permitted
to lie in jail there for months without
trial, and instances twenty cases arising
from alleged debt. These prisoners are
manacled and subjected to all the loathe-
someness, none Of which Cutting COM
planned, some having been there two and
a half years, others have died. No effort
was made on the part of the United
States officials to have them tried.

Many ex.Confedcrate veterans In
Texas are proud to remember that they
belonged to Sibley's brigade, command
that achieved meritorious service during
the great civil war Comparatively few
of his old comrades, we daresay, are
aware that their commander has gone
from the land of the living. His latter
days were passed SO quietly and unevent.
fully that his demise was not generally
known until week or ten days after his
death. Gen. Henry II. Sibley was seventy
years old at the time of his death, and
was buried at Fredericksburg, Va, where
he died, While his war services were
conspicuous, he will be equally well re-
membered by his invention known as the
"Sibley" army tent. 1t had been patented
and he had claim for 100000 against
the government for the use OF his patent
1t has never been paid, but probably his
heirs may get the money,
