RICHARDSON, Ten. Jan. 6 At regu-
lar meeting of Eureka lodge, No. POP :,
Independent Order of Odd Fellows, it
was decided to have public installation
of officers and an oyster supper last
night. The members were requested to
bring their wives and basket of edibles
and the unmarried to bring their best
girls. The entire membership was in at
tendance with their wives and contribu-
tons toward the supper. The following
visitors were present from neighbOring
lodges: j r. Blewett of Dallas, ]. A.
Toche from Plano, J D. Robinson, p
F. Ramsey, Robert HI. Lyle and e
III. Jacobs of Garland. There were two
tables erected about twenty-five feet long
which were well supplied with oysters
fried and on the half shell, turkeys and
boiled ham with the necessary trimmings
fruits of all kinds and cakes TOO numerous
to mention. After formally opening the
lodge recess was taken and all visitors
present not members of the order were
invited to seats in the lodge room. r,
IL. Lyle, district grand officer, pro-
ceeded to install the following officers in
accordance with the rules of the order:
LIT. SkiIes, N. g.; q. W. Jones, V.

were then uncovered and all present

ceeded to use some of the material that
was present. J R. Blewett of Dallas
was called for and responded in a very
appropriate address, setting forth the
principles of Odd Fellowship. Captain W.
H. Harris of this city and Il member of
the lodge, was called for and followed
Mr.. Blewett in q very neat and appro-
pirate address to suit the occasion. The
affair was a very enjoyable one and
all present expressed themselves as being
highly pleased with the impressive cere-
monies of installation and congratulated
the members of the lodge upon the sue

and dinner, and did not seem much dis
turbed by the flames, which appeared
more terrible in the darkness of night
and, indeed, does not appear to have
realized that they were volcanic. His
idea was that some of the country houses
in the neighborhood, which had been de-
serted by their inhabitants, had caught
fire. He went to bed and fell asleep at
once.
The other inmates of the house were
seriously alarmed. AS they passed his
door they heard him move. Soon thew
had to awaken him, for the open court
into which the chamber looked was then
being filed up with ashes and stones
Rising he rejoined his friend, who now
trembled with fear. Out of doors there
was danger from falling stone. At Her
culaneum these were of considerable SIZE;
at Pompeii some weighing eight pounds
have been found; at Stable, which is
four miles further from Vesuyius,
they were not larger than hen IS eggs
Leaving the villa, with pillows and cush-
ions on their heads to protect them from
the falling proiectiles, they sought the
sea, which was too rough and stormy
with wind blowing in-shore, and had
to abandon the hope Of escape that way
Phny, who was very corpulent, was
compelled to lie down ON a rug, and
thrice asked for water. Ere he could get

Seeking to rise with help from two sery-
ants, he fell down dead, choked by the
unwholesome vapor. Three days after

a dead man.

ton of Herculaneum and Pompeif

completely negatives the commonly re-
ceived belief that PIiny the elder lost his
life by going too near the crater of
Vesuvius and inhaling the sulphurous
fumes therefrom. Pliny, in fact, was
flying from the burning mountain when
he was DEATHS stricken. Since PIiny,s
time many eruptions of vesuvius are
recorded, the most remarkable of which
are those of 1896, l1779, 1922, 1889 and

The Only Way to Do This is to Offer Proper
Protection to the Actual Settler.

To the Gazette.
EsTACADo, TEX, Dec. 80, 1888.
The staked plains of New Mexico and
Northwestern Texas have been but little
understood by civilized man Until
within the last few years they have been
looked upon as a barren waste, worthless
to all intents and purposes for any use
whatever. But as the van of civilization
crowds its way in the direction of the De-
cident more is learned of this heretofore
unOccUpied domain, which has an area
larger than the state of New York
These plains, which take their source
in New Mexico, extend off far into
Texas, and are bounded on the west by
the Pecos river, on the north by Red
river, on the east and southeast by the
BraZos and Colorado rivers, and on the
south by the Rio Grande river. This
leaves the noted Staked Plain over 500
or 600 miles long and from $50 to 200
miles wide. They are covered with a
thick coat of short curly mesquite
grass, which, by the way, is very
nutritious and affords the best of pastur-
age, for every kind of stock does well on
it All the plains needs is new land

tana to the more tropical cline of Texas,

about nme years ago this last fall, and
in the mid winter there came two other
families, and as pioneers they
settled III the northwest corner of Crosby
county, Texas, and formed what is known
as the Quaker colony, with the pioneer,
Paris Cox, as the founder of the colony.
They went to work hauling water twenty
miles till they could dig a well for water
They succeeded in getting water at about
siXty-five feet. The next step was to
build a house for their families The
next step was to see what the dreaded
staked plains were good for They had
no stock to use this fine grass so they went
to farming on small scale, trying
little of everything to find out
what would grow ON the staked PLAINS
besides grass? About twenty-elght
months after they had located l came to
Crosby county and settled in the south
west corner of the county, so as to have
neighbors. AT that time there were w.
b. Slaughter and J B Slaughter, Hank \
Smith and about five families at Est
aeado at the Quaker colony. They have
cotton wood lumber growing They
raise millet, sugar cane, rice, corn,

PLAINS would settle up from Red river TO
the Rio Grande and from the Pecos river
to the heads of the Brazos and Colorado
rivers. Water is found very easily by
boring from twenty-five to $50 feet on
the plains.
As to the buffalo, he will soon be of the
past-none to be found on the plains
They served for a good purpose for the
red man, but both red men and buffalo
are gone from the Staked Plains of West
ern Texas. The wild horse is still with
the plains, but they are not as numerous
as they were when we first landed in
Crosby county / have seen the buffalo
and wild horse, antelope and coyote IN

Now / am longing to see change in
our land laws, and then we will see
a change on the plains. We have lived
here long enough to see two changes.
One has been mentioned. The other is

for stock from wells; but | haven t seen
much benefit derived from that yet, and

land laws, for have had neat calcula-
ton made on buying land and fencing it

wind mill does not run on account of
there being no wind, they are all in the
