pass any law which would authorize the
property situated in and owned by res
idents of unorganized counties to be as
sessed or the taxes thereon paid anywhere
except in the counties to which
the unOrganized counties are
attached for judicial purposes, for the
constitution clearly states where the taxes

THE LAND BOARD.

The land board held meeting yester-
day to consider matters laid before them
by Mr.. Winfield Scott, of Colorado City.
Some time back he leased lot of land
from the state, classifying it as dry.
subsequently, it seems, an actual settler
concluded to invade his leased domains
and settle down on what is now claimed to
be watered section, and Mr. Scott wants
the board to prevent it. Yesterday Mr..
Stephens, one of the peripatetic grass
commissioners, now figuring around in
Tom Green county, had instructions
mailed him to investigate the matter and
report.
Secretary Laurence yesterday received
about $4,000, principal and interest due
on land sales.

Mr. J. V. Cockrell, Margaret, Texas
DEAR SRI have yours of the 18th
instant, referring To claUsa in the print.
ed instructions of 1856 to assessors, rela
ting To the assessments of lands in the
unorganized counties, belonging to non
residents thereof.
enclose you copy of said instructions
with the clause referred to marked.
Without discussing the defects in the
law for the assessment and collection of
taxes on lands and other property stu
ated in the unorganized counties, | hand
you printed copy of said law, taken from
the book published by the state.
also call your attention to section -,
of article S of the constitution of the
state of Texas, which reads as follows:
"All property subject to taxation in, and
owned by residents of unorganized coun-
ties, shall be assessed and the
taxes thereon paid in the coun-
ties TO which such unorganized
counties shall be attacked for judicial
purposes; and lands lying in and owned
by non-residents of unorganized counties.
and lands lying in the territory not laid
off into counties, shall be assessed and the
taxes thereon collected at the office of the
comptroller of the state"
You Will observe that the constitution
of the state divides the lands situated in
the unorganized counties into two classes.

about $1,000, payments of interest on
lands.
Applicants to purchase lands
are constantly committing errors
in making their application and
this is a great source Of annoyance as

fathers residence in this city. Young Todd
was 25 years of age and had been in charge
OF his fathers business during the latter's
absence in Europe. The father and mother
of the suicide arrived from Europe this
morning, and were affectiOnately received
by their son. He remarked that he did not
feel well and went to his room. His mother
told her husband to go up and see what
was the matter with Henry. Mr.. Todd
started to go the room, but before he had
got out in the hall, pistol shot rang from
his sons room. He hastened up and found
his son lying dead on the floor.

TAKING THE RISK.

Men al work in Powder Magazines
1.-The injured ard Their Success
OTs.
Reading the account of the powder mag
azine explosion iii Chicago brings to mind
a trait of some human beings which is al
together beyond the comprehension of
others.
Il know" remarked st. Paul man yes
terdav. ''Of a powder manufactOry in the
East where this trait has been tested time
and again. The business is very large and
has been in existence for half a century.
1t is located at the falls OF river in very
Dlcturesoue little valley. and on the sum-
nit OF a peighbOring hill. the tombstones
being within sight of the powder mills and
magazines, is a cemetery, to which has
been consigned the fragments OF men
killed bv explosions of the mills. These
accidents happen at irregular intervals of
one. three or five years, and in the ceme-
tery mentioned there has never been buried
a BODY that was recognizable.
Human heads, and arms, and legs. and
trunks. torn or burned to crisp. ill those
graves. which are quite numerous. RecOg-
niZed bodies are always buried elsewhere.
being claimed by friends. Many ghOstly
tory is told of this graveyard, which has
equation for miles around OF being
place that, of all places, is horri-
lie and revolving In its burialS.
While the mills are little
lWay from the main roads
,n either side of the stream, the cemetery
is close to much travelled highway, which
is one of the reasons its sad history is so
well known in all the region round about.
So much by way Of information, and now a
curious trait of human character Is shown.
Whenever an explosion occurs it is
heard for miles and everybody knows what
it is. know too that human lives are in all
probability lost Farmers and others hitch
I'D their horses and drive quickly to the
scene. but those most eager of all to reach
the spot are the men who seek employ
ment in place of those who have been killed
This seems incredulOus, but L was an eye
witness of one of these scenes, in which
Young men and old men from the country
actually clambered over each other in their
eagerness to see the manager and get a job.
The manager said it was always the case
when an explosion occurred: Of course
employees there receive very high wages, but
it is astonishing the number of people will
ing to take their lives in their hands for the
sake of few dollars"
