TEMrLE, TEX., Jan. 24.-For more
than two weeks we have had real winter.
At shutdown last evening snow was fall
ing ana the indications were that storm
was coming, but the sun came out clear
this morning, and the day has been almost
spring like. Farmers are of the opinion
that the crop Of small grain has been
seriously injured by the recent cold
Our water-works company and the
Santa Fe Railway company have been ne
gotiating some time with regard to the
railways shops and round-houses getting
their supply of water here from the wa
ter-wurks, ard your correspondent is in
formed that the contract will be closed
within u few days, the amount OF water
to be consumed daily to be not less than
10000 gallons, and the contract to run
not less than five years.
About O'Clock last night the fire
alarm was sounded, which was occa,
stoned by lire breaking out in some oily
waste at the Santa Fc round.house. At
one time the lire threatened to be quite
serious, but was finally overcome and ex-
tinguishcd without considerable loss.
About 10 O'Clock this morning lire in
the kitchen OF the Central hotel brought
out the tire department again, but the
iiames were again subdned before any
serious damage was done.
y mass meeting was held at the opera
house on THURSDAY night with view Of
discussing The question OF taking some
action toward securing the location Of
lSc Baylor Female university at Temple.
The meeting was enthusiastic and some
stirring speeches were made In behalf OF
such action. \ committee of eighteen
citizens was appointed to canvass the
matter OF subscriptions, with iu-
strnctionS 70 report 20 meeting
TO be held on Tuesday evening.
Temple had not expected to ask for the
location of the university here but the
older cities and towns seemed so tardy in
giying the amounts asked Temple was led
TO believe that no othorplace was anxious
enough in the matter. Besides the ac-
feasibility OF Temple from all directions
by rail without changing cars and per-
feet freedom from malarlal Influences and
her splendid building sites, caused others
living at distance but interested in the
most suitable location OF the college
10 urge its location here, and ask our
people TO bid for H. our people are at
work on the subject and mean business,
and when the united pluck and energy OF
Temple bends TO the accomplishment Of a
purpose they generally succeed, Think
OF II, the Baylor Female college at
Temple. Temple has made some rapid
strides since her birth four years ago,
and the securing of the college WIN be
very fitting for her next grand step on
ward 10 prosperity.

dressed young man, styling himself j.
Whitney, came here recently and opened
an Office, being ostensibly In the cattle
business. He opened accounts with sew
eral banks ana deposited number OF
drafts signed by Omaha banks, aggregat-
ing Si4 600. Two weeks ago he cashed
three and left the city. Tho drafts went
to the Chicago clearinghouse aud were
paid. When they reached Omaha they
proved TO be forgerIes. The Chicago
clearinghouse has called upon the banks
there TO make good the loss, but this they
decline TO do, and lawsuit will probably
be the result, The matter has been kept
a secret hitherto. Whitney probably
made good his escape.

families or to adjacent nations, into
natural enemies, are dying away. inn
proved means of communication deserve
the chief credit of the change; if war
becomes less frequent it will be chiefly
because. its horrors are being intensified
beyond bearing by the close interde-
pendence and community of interest
thus established between nations, no
less than by the improvement of the
means Of destruction by scientific in
vention. Arms of precision have
taken the mastery Of the world out of
the hands of brute force and given it
to industry and intelligence. If rail
ways and electric telegraphs have rem
dered it unnecessary that modern en-
pires should fall to pieces by their own
weight as ancient empires did, arms of
precision have provided against the
possibility of their being swept away by
barbarous invasions. Health means not
merely wealth, not merely bodily well
fare, but intellectual and moral sound
ness; and doubt if, since the time of
the father of medicine, any discovery
has contributed so much to the promo
tion OF health and the cure of diseases
as that of the part played by fungoid
parasites in the animal economy, and
that Of the means of checking them,
even though, as yet, unfortunately, it
be only in a few cases.-PrOf. Hlt.c-
