"No, my boy, the world will not
stop revolving when we die. We
may DO very useful, but no one OF
us is Indispensable" said Mayor
Becker of Buffalo, N. Y, to repor-
ter who found him in q contempla-
tive mode the other day. "For
twenty years L worked on the
theory that l was the hub In my
business wheel, and that if the hub
dropped out the spokes and rim
would go to pieces. Early and late
L was at the desk, tho holidays
were not marked on my calendar,
and my entire life was eompasscc11
by the lines oftrade. l have grown
wiser since then. One after an
other prominent business men has
passed away, and have seen the
enterprises of which they were
heard and center successfully con-
Quoted by other heads. This has
led mo to the conclusion that the
details OF q well established bust
ness can be intrusted in q consId-
cradle degree to intelligent and
faithful employees. Nowadays, with
more business on hand than at any
previous period in my life, l find
plenty of time for social life and an
occasional opportunity TO 60 a
fishing.

A practical "joke" came neal
ending the life of the subject or
Thursday in Brooklyn. A health
department inspector, having step.
ped in a freproof recess to get
something IN the municipal build,
ing, q clerk closed the door and
turned the combination. The vault
is only eight feet high by seven
feet long and four feet wide, so
the fresh air was soon exhausted
and the inspector was almost suffo-
Gated, while the clerks, in their
confusion, failed to get the eombi-
nation that would reopen the door.
A deputy police commissioner,
who know the combination, was
fortunately within reach, and the
door was finally opened about in
time to save the Inspectors life.

CoLORED MAN.

COTTON MARKETS.-Brenham does
set up any clam to be the best
cotton market IN the interior, but
she does claim TO be as good as
any. Cotton buyers here buy for
export direct to English and Ger.
man ports and for shipment direct
to spinncrs in the cast. The dread
cd "middlc man" does not get a
"whack" at the cotton, because the
buyers here are acting in the
capacity of agents for the eastern
and European spinners or con-
sumers of the staple, and they are
therefore enabled to pay fully as
much as the Cotton would sell for
in Houston or Galveston, expenses
deducted. The best proof of this
is that nearly all the Brenham
merchants who handle cotton IN
connection with their business sell
it to homo buyers, II they could
do better by shipping, 1t stands to
reason they would do SO. Any
fair merchant IN Bronham will tell
his farmer friends that they can get
more money for q bale of cotton
in Brcnham than it would net in
Galveston or Houston. These are
plain facts devoid OF any bun
combc.

Malaria was formerly considered as q
miasm. limited to the cxhalations engendered
in low-lying lands, the margin of swamps or
rivers, or when new soil has been dug up
and exposed 10 the sun. Bat modern re-
searches have shown that while miasma is
more intense in such localities, it is by no
means confined to them, and that, as a fact,
but few and narrow sections of the country
are entirely free from it. Cities, villages,
town and country-all have it in slighter
degree. 1t was formerly supposed that the
only result from malaria was fever and ngue,
but it is now known not only to produce this
disease, but wide number of troublesome
symptoms which fall quite shot of fever and
aguG or malarial fever. Thousands of people
suffer from malaria while attributing their
trouble to something quite different, Its
frequent mild form is shown by coated
tongue, bad taste, diminished appetite, con-
stipated habit, headache or neuralgia; pains
in the back, joints or limbs; feeling of dull
ness, drowsness by day and unrefreshing
sleep at night want of energy, distasto for
work. sometimes earthly or yellow face, and
general feeling of Illness.
All this is promptly, permanently cured by
Humphreys Homeopathic Specifics, No. 10

Wreck on the Santa Fe.

Mondays up-bound passenger
train on the Santa Fe railway had
the rear coach derailed at q point
two miles above Lyons, on a down
grade where there is curve; there
is q dump about ten feet high,
down which the coach rolled, and
landed on its side, lying at an
angle of about forty-five degrees.
Mrs. Lockett, mothcr-in-law of Mr..
Robert Thompson, OF this city, who
bad been IN this city on visit,
was killed, two other ladies, names
unknown, and one gentleman, also
unknown TO our informant, were
so severely njurcd that they were
carried on stretcbers. Some fifteen
or sixteen passengers who were in
the coach were all moro or less iu-
jured. The BANNER tried 10 get 4
special but could not. As usual IN
all accidents, the railway men
knew nothing; didn't even know
there was an accident. The BANNER
got what little information is here
given from a passenger who came
in on the down train, which was
detained for half an hour at the
scene OF the wreck. The cause OF
the deraiIment is not stated.

Tho Brazos Valley Raj


Some busy-bodios having moth
ing else to do, have been circulat.
ing reports not complimentary to
our proposed railway. Again,
some men who have taken no stock
in it and who could not take stock
IT they would, arc very much
afraid that the road novor will be
built. The Croaker family Is very
large If it is not wealthy. The
BANNER, in order to ascertain the
true status of tho road, called upod
ono of the leading men in the en-
terprse. The preliminary survey
has beon completed from Brennan
to Cause, small station on tho
International railway, and the sur
veyor is now at work making the
Arguments, which is a tedious and
very particular piece of work. The
alignment will show every lot and
survey of land over which the line
runs and its direction over each
piece of property and also the
amount of filling and cutting that
has to be done, and an accurate
estimate of the cost will be made.
Tho main object in building the
road is to get an outlet to the In
tornational railway or Gould sys-
tom by the cheapest and best
route. Until Brennan does this
she will occupy second rate posi-
tod in the matter of freight tariffs,
both on incoming and outgoing
freights. As soon as tho aligu-
mcnt of the present survey is made
another limo will be run, beginning
this side of Independence and rum
ming up the bottom or Brazos Val
ley proper to Moseley's ferry and
and thence up on the cast side of
the river TO Hcarne. The people |
along both lines will be seen and |
the one offering the best induce
ment to tho company will get the
road. 1t will be local line and is
to be built IN the interest of Brcn-
ham. The gentlemen who have
taken stock IN it do not expect to
mako dollar out of tho railroad |
proper and if they get their money
back they will do better than they
expect. They are property own
ers here and expect to be repaid
by making Brenham q first-class
business point. The building of
the road will, add the first season
it's completed, fully $4,000 or 3d.,
900 bales of cotton to our receipts,
and new cotton fields will be open
ed up that will increase the re
ceipts to $4,000 bales and perhaps
more. This is not all the road
will do it will give employment
to q considerable number of men
all of whom will have their homes
in Brennan, and its machine shops
will also add 10 our population. 1t
is an enterprise in which the real
estate owners really have Il far
greater interest than the business
mea whose entire capital is invest
ed in merchandise. The line will
add materially to the business I'M
portance of Brennan and will
make property not only in town,
but for miles around, much more
valuable. The property owners
are tho men who should take an
active part in aiding TO build it,
but at the Same time the business
men should aid TO tho extent of
their ability.

ONE OF UNCLE SANS SECRETS.

The bank note paper on which
American legal tender, national
bank note, currency and govern
mcnt bonds are printed is made en-
tirely at Dalton, Mass. If you
should happen to stop at the paper
mill, with proper Introduction and
credentials, you may perhaps be
allowed TO handle a sheet of crisp
paper, where, as tho wet, graylsh
pulp is pressed between heavy iron
cylinders, bits of blue and red silk
are scattered over its face and silk
en- ribs laid on its surface. You
may go beyond in the counting
room, whore each sheet, as it comes
from the drying-room, is carefully
examined counted and then return
cd to the paper-cutter to be divided
INTO smaller sheets. IT you
trace this paper still further, you
will find that from the cutters
hands 1t passes again into the
countiDgroom, and is separated
into packages containing 1000
sheets each, the amount recorded
in register and then packed IN
bundles and stored in fire and burg
lar-proof vaults to await shipment
to tho United States Treasury.
From the pulp-room to the vault
the precious paper is watched and
guarded as carefully as though each
sheet was an ounce OF gold. Its
manufacture is one of the greatest
secrets connected with the govern
ments money-making. From the
paper-mills at Dalton to the guard
ed store-room of the Treasury at
Washington is q journey of several
hundred miles. In the capacious
vaults OF the Treasury Building.
among gold, silver, copper and
nickel coins, bullion. paper curren-
cy and official records you will find
thousands of packages of the bank
note paper made at Dalton. 1T
comes IN little IRON safes, such as
are used by tho Adams Express
Company, and each package and
every sheet is carefully counted
before tho manufacturer and ex-
press company are relieved of fur
Their responsibility. The paper
that arrives to-day may lie in the
treasury store-room for years, or
it may be sont to the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing to-mor-
row, to return in the course of
months time a legal tender or
bank note.
