The Spring Palace.

Mr.. w. w. Dexter has returned
from Fort Worth where he went to at
tend a meeting of delegates from Texas
counties called for the purpose Of Sc
curing space in the spring palace for
the exhibits of their respective coun.
ties. Mr.. Dexter succeeded in secur.
ing for McLennan county most eligible
space, consisting of one OF the fifteen
towers Of the building which are con-
sidered the most desirable places in the
entire building.
Gen. Veal, one of the managers OF
the exhibition, will be in Waco on
Friday, at which time he de.
sires to meet the ladies of Waco, into
whose hands he desires to commit the
task OF decorating the McLennan OF
Waco part Of the exhibit. Full notice
of the place will be given in tho daily
press, and the Waco ladies will o.
course turn out to meet Gen. Veal.
LATER-Gen. Veal will address the
ladies tomorrow at the Pacific parlor,
lat 4:30 P. m.

management Of the Pacific is friendly
to everybody" :
The News clips the above from
our neighbor The Day, and most heart
lily approves both the idea and fact
The truth is, never did a hotel in curl
knowledge increase SO rapidly in popu.
larity and patronage as has the Pacific
in the past four weeks. The business
men Of Waco appreciate the effort Of
higgins in making Waco popular BY
his liberal and popular methods q
running the Pacific.
Mr.. E. j. McCreary who was kicked
yesterday by horse in the forehead
and his skull crushed in, was visited
by DIR. Park this morning who remain.
ed with him two hours. Yesterday
when DR.. Park left the wounded man
his death seemed almost foregons
conclusion. This morning the doctor
found him conscious and rational.
His chances for recovery are thought
to be fair, always barring that inAama.
tion which SO often supervenes con,
cussion Of the brain, and the occur
renee or non.occurrence of which day
or two only will determine.
What if the syndicates which own
the Linkengoger place should put
down an artesion well, pipe the streets
which are already laid out, SO that
connection with every lot could be had
by transverse pipe, and guarantee
free water to each lot for q term Of
years, with fire plugs on the corners
and big stand pipe to give pressure
And what if that syndicate were to
offer free water to engirs houses, and
to all factories located there, in ad.
dition to the above. Mig at that make
the western suburbs blbssom like q
rose, and lots 60 off like hot pancakes
on cold day. Stranger things than
this have happened, and this seeming
guess-work has foundation in trivial
occurrences this morning. much more
than ordinary guesses have.
The artesian water has been tried at
the wooden mills every day since Monday
in securing wool, some twenty thous-
and pounds having been treated during
the week, and is being tried in the
boilers Of the establishment. Mr..
Kirksey informs News reporter that
the test Of the water for securing
gives unqualified satisfaction, and that
it works beautifully for that purpose,
The slight trace Of sulpher, Mr.. Kirk
sey says, is UNDERSTANDABLE. One
important point in wool securing il
the amount of sal ammoniac used
which with hard water makes serious
item Of expense. The saving in thil
chemical will, with the use OF artesiau
water be at least two.thirds of thu
amount used with limestorne water
The test Of the water for boiler pur
poses is not yet complete.

A Serious Fire.

A very disastrous fire occurred last
night at Bruceville, in which the fine
two-story residence Of DR.. N. L. Bruce
was burned to the ground with nearly
all the contents. The fire broke out
at nine o'clock last night from defec-
tive fue in the second story, and vas
SO rapid that very little could be saved.
Some furniture from the first Aoor was
recovered in damaged condition. The
loss is estimated by DR.. Bruce at
$4,000 and no insurance either on
house or furniture. The loss is very
heavy one, and it falls on one of the
most esteemed citizens of the county.

The Situation.

1t would have been we'll if those real
estate men who have failed heretofore
to contribute anything to public enter
prises, and have grown wealthy by al
lowing other men to build up their for
tunes, could have been present at the
cotton mill meeting yesterday forenoon
at the rooms of the chess club. 1t
would have been we'll for themselves, for
as sure as!therels aGod Heaven, so sure
that meeting, if it is not in its purpose
backed up, will be about the last meet
ing ever held by those self-sacri6cing
men who are straining every nerve to
save Waco from impending disaster.
The building Of that cotton mill was
felt by every one present to be a test
effort and last test That feeling
was expressed in strong words by some
and by manner and expression by all.
The best teams can be brought to balk
and when Baker, Rotan, Lacy, Sanger,
Slayden, Cameron and men like them
balk, Waco is left in hopeless hole.
And that the failure of that cotton
mill will ..paralyze and disgust Waco's
best friends is as sure as that to-mor.
rows sun will rise. Cameron, at the
last meeting, said, if we, do not get
that cotton mill Waco will go down,
and the spirit of the meeting yester-
day was that if that cotton mill money
cannot be raised she will have to 60, if
60 she must. If she does it will be
only history repeated in city that has
stoned its prophets.
There never was drawer or grand
err set of men than those who have
stood under Waco enterprises for years
and who are now trying to drag her from
the slough Of despond. But their pa
thence, their energy and their hope is
nearly exhausted, and the failure Of
this cotton mill project will be the last
straw that will break the back of no.
Die camel. The News knows what it
is talking about.
It is all folly in speaking about the
future Of Waco, to talk about bats and
owls and grass growing in the streets.
Waco will always be good little town
by virtue of her present acquisitions.
But if she stands still now, the real
estate owners, who block her wheels,
will live to curse the Itch, 18th and
10th days Of April, 1889, as Job
cursed the day he was born. Tenant
less stores now cape like skeletons at
the passer-by on every street, it will be
worse than, lots sell now at long inter-
walls, the length of such intervals will
increase with each succeeding year aud
the bottom will drop out Of both br,ck
and dirt And when Dallas and Fort
Worth and city on the south wrap
their tentacles closer and closer about
this city, the landlord with his pockets
full of keys, will have cause to remem-
Der with bitterness his own folly ia
the days when Sanger, Baker, Rotan,
Lacy Cameron and other grand fellows
wanted to:take this modern Jerusalem
under their wings and she wouldn't
come.

Our Artesian Formation.


Nature has been niggardly to Texas
ia the matter Of coal, but she makes it
up in bountiful supply Of subtera-
mean water which, when properly
utilized, will atone for the loss Of coal
where water is Of more Importance
than fuel. The great scope of artesian
water and the lack Of coal in Texas is
part Of the geological history of the
state During those long eras embra-
cling some millions of years, Of celes-
celestial and terrestrial heat and abund-
ant moisture, in which the vast forests
which now form the coal beds Of the
world grew, Texas was On inland sea,
and part Of great sea which extended
from the gulf of Mexico to the Arctic
ocean. 1t was a sea too shallow for
valuable mineral deposits, and too deep
for vegetable growth, and thus it re-
NAMED through the entire carbonifer-
GUS and the subsequent cretacious cras,
making the entire state cretacious
from perhaps the ancient Silurian up
While on the line Of the Rockies and
the Alleganies the earth was con-
vulsei by great upheavals and subsi-
dences forming those mighty chains of
mountains, Texas and the other states
in that sea were undisturbed by
shocks, and for countless millions Of
years the line of great states, Of which
Texas is the most southern, were built
up quietly by deposition. The entire
strata of the great cretacious sys-
tenn Of Texas is level or in great
slopes tending to the uth.east, and
most favorable for an artesian system.
The elevation seems to have been
gradual from the bed Of the ocean and
to have began in the northern point of
the great inland sea. The elevation
is going on yet and the wonderful
formation Of land reclaimed from the
sea may be seen in grandeur on the
gulf coast lands. The route on the
Central from Hampstead to Galveston,
a distance of hundred miles, is over
newly reclaimed sea bottom, elevated
at Galveston but a few feet, and
throughout as level as floor. To the
calmness and depth of the great inland
sea which maintained over Texas dur
ing the great eras when coal was be-
ing formed in other parts Of the world,
we owe the loss Of coal, but we gain
also that strata formation which gives
rise to the artesian system Of water.
No true coal will ever be found in Tex
as proper, and there is hardly spot
in the state where artesian water may
not be found, and in this, nature, which
follows the doctrine of compensation,
built wisely and well. Water is more
needed than coal.
