AN OPEN LETTER
From W. G. Mcdonald, to the People on the
School Lands Urging Them to Secure the
Services of Hon. j. N Browning.
Lipscomb Inter State.

Lipscomb Interstate.
To the People of Lipscomb County and the Pan
handle:
1 am glad to inform you that the work
of getting the land-law petition before
the people in the Panhandle and the rest
of the state, is being vigorously pushed
and the newspapers are indorsing the pc
tition almost unanimously. The Fort
Worth GAZETTE is doing for US all that
can be done, and have every reason to
believe that our efforts will be crowned
with success. Enough money has been
subscribed by the people of Lipscomb to
send the petition to every point neces-
sary. There yet remains a small amount
due the printer for printing those petit
tions, and it would be the right thing for
the settlers to do to call upon the prin-
ter, G. G.. Curnutt, and leave with him
a few cents to pay for the printing. You
can give him from 81 90 down to the
lowest coin.
Credit will be given to each man for
the amount contributed.
Another point that would like to call
your attention to, and that is the feast
bility of selecting some one to attend the
session of the legislature and to talk
personally with the members about
the petition A man of influence
and information could Go a great deal
of good, and 1 suggest the Hon j. n
Browning as the man. He told
me that he would go down if the people
would pay his expenses. 1 urge you to
come forward and through your newspa-
pers request Mr.. Browning to go down
for US, and back that request with a 81
donation. Pay the money to your editor
and he can send the money TO S. T. Gil
bert of LipscOmb, Tex, who will give
credit to all amounts, end report to Mr.
Browning. The effort to be made by
each one is so small, and the result so
great, that we should lend a helping
hand. Should we send Mr.. Browning
down we want to give him enough money
so he will not have to draw on his own re-
sources. We do not send Mr.. Browning
because we have no confidence in the
abilities of our representatives, Mr..
Stephens and Mr.. TolaT, but because
they have so many other duties that they
cannot give the matter the attention it
needs. 1 will start the Browning fund
with 81, who will be the men to follow
suit? w G. MCDONALD.

MOON MOUNTAINS.

How They May Be Seen With an Ordinary
Opera Glass.
Philadelphia Times
Every year more and more attention
is given to study of the stars and the
other heavenly bodies. 1t is a mistake
to suppose a powerful telescope necessary
to show us beauties there of which we
never dreamed until we began
to look for them. Mr.. Garrett
P. Seryiss recently wrote very
interesting book on this subject
called Astronomy with an Opera
Glass - Speaking Of the moon, he SAYS
much will be revealed to an attentive OBJ
server by even a small glass. OF course,
the first thing he viii want to see will be
the mountains, for everybody has heard
of them, and the most sluggish
imagination is stirred by the thought
that one can look off into the sky and be-
hold the eternal hills Of another planet as
solid and substantial as our own. But
the chances are that if left to their own
guidance ninety-nine persons out of q
hundred would choose exactly the wrong
time TO see these mountains Unless
warned beforehand they invariably wait
until full moon, when the flood OF sun
light poured perpendicularly down upon
the face of our satellite conceals its rug
ged features as effectualiy as if q veil had
been drawn over them.
Begin your observations with the
appearance of the narrowest crescent OF
the new moon, and follow it as it gradu-
ally fills, and then you viii see how
beautifully the advancing line of lunar
sunrise reveals the mountains, over
whose slopes and peaks it is climbing,

age, and who has resided in Center
county fifty years, died at his residence
near Shelbyyille.
JUDGE RICHARD NALTBIE,
was born near Atlanta, Ga. In 1872 he
moved to Texas and settled in Mckinney j,
Collin county, where he engaged IN the
practice of law. In 1880 he was elected
district judge, which office he held four
years, when he voluntarily retired and
again resumed the practice OF law which
he surrendered last year TO accept an APP
pointment as one of the judges on the
commission of appeals of which he was
made presiding Judge.
WILLIAM H. BONNER
was a prominent citizen of Angelina
county and had the esteem of all who
knew him. Colonel Bonner was born in
Fulton county, Arkansas, October S,
1880; came TO Texas in 1886 with a
widowed mother, and amid the scenes of
frontier country developed into vigor-
GUS manhood. Being of ambitious and
adventurous nature, he entered heart
and soul into the public affairs of East
Texas, and from a cowboy paved his
path to seat in the state legislature,
which he filled honorabIy and salts
factorily to his constituents.
COLONEL HENRY JONES,
another veteran who sleeps until the
final trumpet call. In the last days of
1888, at his home in Corsicana, Colonel
Jones surrendered to the inevitable. He
was one of the founders of the Texas re-
public and a leading spirit in the brave
deeds that make up its early history
The trusted friend of Sam Houston, he
became commander OF the state troops,
and rendered signal services extending
the borders of the frontier and protecting
the western settlements from the en-
cToachments of the Indians Colonel
Jones was eighty-One years of age at the
time of his death, of which over a half
century was spent in Texas, and much
of that in the service of the state. The
late Acknowledgement Jones was his son,
and Mrs. Roger Q. Mills is one of two
surviving daughters. He leaves but few
of his compatriots behind him, and for
these lies just ahead that eternal rest
which is the due reward of the moral
heroism which was so signally displayed
n the lives of the Texas pioneers.

OVER ISSUE OF STOCK.
The Scheme Worked by a Sharp Agent to
Raise Money.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. Jan. From
salt brought here it would appear that
Charles T. Merle, president of the Cali
fornia BonemeaI Fertilizer Company and
local agent for Fairbanks & Co. of Chi
cago, who disappeared last week, had
caused an over issue of $50 shares of the
fertilizer company's stock. Frederick
Tellmau, Jr., holds certificates for 10
shares of this over issue, for which ne
claims to have advanced $500 to
Merle. TelIman has brought suit to
recover his money from the company
The remainder OF the over issue has not
been accounted for, but fifty shares are
understood TO be held by President WEIGH
of the American Sugar Refining Com
pany 4 meeting of the directors of the
Bonemeal Company was held yesterday
and according TO the books it appeared
that their liabilities were but Sf400. A
committee OF three was appointed to in
vestigats the affairs of the company.
One of the officers of the company gave
it as his opinion that Merle had COM
mitted suicide to avoid exposure.
