SHERMAN, TEX, July IA slight lain,
preceded by a terrific wind, fell here this
morning. The wind was so violent that
huge clouds Of dust were blown into the
air, obscurlng everything from sight II
was OF short duration, however, and be-
yond loosening few roofs did no dam
age. Indications point to more rain,
which is badly needed just now.
There Is more talk about
all other topics combined OF
Louis, Arkansas & Texas, about which
the committee mentioned 10 yesterdays
GAZETTE went To st. Louis this afternoon
TO formally sign the contract with Prest-
dent Fordyce, Then there is talk OF re-
moving the division OF the Central now
located at Bonhsm back TO Sherman,
where 1t properly belongs. This will
probably be done In the near
future. II Is very probable,
too, that the Missouri Pacific
will be running It's trains into Sherman
at no distant day. Az regards the Aich-
lson, Topeka & Santa Fe, nobody is
so skeptical as 20 think that Sherman
will not get II. With all these roads
sherman is certain to take ON new life,
become reyivifed as II were with spirit
Of energy and progress that will work
out great things in the course OF the
next half decade.

The Farmer and his Dram.

There is statistician about the Palmer
house who desires to impress everybody with
economic facts. Said he: aDo you see that
man over there! Well, he's a farmer down
near Elgin. There he goes with friend;
they've going to get a drink. The farmer
will pay for it. Now, let me see, That man
will sweat two mortal hours next spring to
plow enough ground to raise one bushel.
That bushel of corn he will sell for 80 cents
Ee is going in there now to spend the so
cents for two drinks. Therefore, the farmer
and the corn have parted Now, let me tell
you what becomes Of the corn. A bilshel Of
corn makes seventeen quarts of whisky
four-and-a-quarter gallons. The distillery
gets its first prolific cents gallon. There
you are; 80 for that bushel of corn.
"Now the government comes in, 80 cents a
gallon-$3. IS added to the $2 makes $5.S5.
That brings the product of. the bushel of corn
down to the jobber and the wholesaler, and,
finally, by several stages, to the retailer. By
the time it reaches the latter the bushel of
corn, or its product Of four and quarter gal
Ions, has been reduced one-half, which means
eight and half gallons There are sixty
drinks to the gallon-that is the average
eight and half gallons mean 270 drinks at
Is cents each-there we have $46.35 as the
consumers price for bushel of corn which
the farmer raises and sells for 80 cents. Who
says there is not industry in this countrya
But the farmer we saw just now spent his
whole bushel OF corn in the price of two
drinks, and the people who do not till the soil

when I was clerking in country grocery
store forty-five years ago. Dwight had the
reputation at one time of selling more goods
than any one man who went os1t of Fulton

aMany years age he used to g5 around the

some style of glove or mitt was going slow he
would put thirteen pair in a regular dozen
box under his arm. He would put ur

The ever-cautious storekeeper would care
fully count over the thirteen pair in the
dozen box, and, thinking he had bargain,
would tumble into Dwight's trap and buy
them. To the next customer Dwight would
say, in disposing of the eleven pair at an in
crease of 50 ON the list price: The proprie

Poverty at the National Capital.

An old oficeholder, of not much politics to

there never was as much distress as at this
moment OF course, there are more people
here, and the new, worldly part of the city is
enstranged from tho old life of the town, SO
that in the west end you would not hear much
of what is going on at the middle and east.
Here are two persons whom have known in
the government printing Office petldling shoe
strings and sleeve-buttons on the avenue
They know enough not to wait ON delusive
reappointment. There are also hundreds OF
people here who have bought smal u homes for
themselves and paid one-haH upon them, and
now the other half carries a mortgage, and
they must pay taxes and insurance on the
whole. They are hanging on by the eyelids,
the place unfortunately giving no other oc-
cupation than its political relations
"Again, there are families here who have
been in Office nearly aquarter of a century,
and their children have been bern in Wash
fngton, and here they have been married. In
several such cases which have come to my
notice they have 500 OF $500 left and that is
all in the world, and they see no future
There is consequently much begging in the
city, and all who have enough to pay their
bills are beseged by the impecunious, while
to the distresses of the discharged employees
are added the distresses of the applicants who
have come here from great distances, are
broke, and will not get .away."-4W ashingto1
