The Outlook in Brown County.

DTOWuEOOu appear. .44t
1t is no longer an unsolved proBleFn
with the farmer what may be thssoasis
of his calculation upon his present crop.
Taking all the crops of the county into
consideration, viz. the wheat, oat, corn ,
miliet, sorghum and cotton, may be all
classed far above the average. The only
crop that has suffered any material
damage during the harvesting from rains
is the cat crop. The damage resulted
from the fact that the rains prevented
proper attention at the time needed. The
wheat throughout the county averages
twenty bushels to the acre, corn aver
ages foTtY-five bushels per acre, millet,
sorghum, and the grasses were never
finer, and the cotton crop is estimated at
from 1900 to 1900 pounds unginned cot
ton per acre. The live stock IN Brown
county is in splendid condition.
Wheat is now coming into this market
daily, and sells readily at 70 cents per
bushel, with upward tendency The grade
of wheat now on the market is above
average, and considerably better than
the wheat of 1888. Some corn of the
present crop has been engaged at 20
cents, which is considered the highest
figure it will reach this year.
Such lands as produce these crops can
be bought now at So TO So per acre.

Women and Newspapers.
Philadelphia Inopirer.

The newspaper has so cunningly and
unObtrusively insinuated itself into the
good graces of the gentler sex that it has
quite outTivaled q class of literature ut
one time the intellectual food most pala-
table to the appetite of the average
woman. Nowadays, if in the busy rounds
of social and domestic duties nv lady
can claim hour all her own, that hour
is given to the earnest perusal of her
favorite daily. She no longer goes skim
ming through the news in Il half hearted
sort of way, bat is wide awake to the
current discussions of the day; giving to
them such deep and careful attention
that she finds herself we'll armed at all
points with knowledge that enables her
to meet the questions OF the moment in q
sEillful and diplomatic manner, thus adj
ding one more TO her long list of feminine
attractions
Men have for so long a time accus-
toned themselves to regard the fair ones
as bright bits of femininity TO be petted :,
loved and admired for their prettiness,
their sweetness and their grace, that the
intellectual side of Il woman 5 nature has
been sadly overlooked and neglected.
Having been brought to q realization of
this she refuses any longer to occupy this
pedestal of fragile nOnentitv, preferring
TO step down and take her place in the
community as thinking, reasoning be-
ing, and, as q rule, her efforts in this
direction are characterized by q keenness
of observation as surprising as it is aIur-.
ing.

Verdict Of Death by Accidental Contact With a
Moving Railroad Train.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
MIDLOTHIAN, TEX, July 28.-The in
quest III the case of the young man found
dead on the railroad track, a report Of
which was published in Yesterdays GA
ZETTE, developed the fact that the de-
ceased had been trying to beat his way on
the freight that goes south by here about
fifty minutes before the passenger train
goes north, and that the conductor had
ordered him off the train at Cedar Hill
the last station before they reach this
place. There was no evidence that he
got off the train when ordered, or that
there was any violence used in putting
him off later, or that they stopped the
train between Cedar Hill and Midlothian
save at the tank for water, which
was some half or three-quarters Of
a mile from where the body
lay. And while there is some mys-
terry connected with the affair, after due
investigation by Squire Vinson the YER
diet was in substance that he came to his
death by accidental contact with q NOV
ing railroad train.

Mrs. DONNELLY, the aunt of Miss
Caldwell, il writing from Paris about her
neice's engagement to Prince Murat,
thinks the match viii be a happy one,
and says: 'In Prince Murat she will
have a sensible and devoted husband.
With young man of the type she has met
in society she could not be happy. In very
short time, with such a one, her superior
VIII would assert itself. The man she
is about TO marry has her entire respect,
and he has just the kind of tact necessary
for influencing her. - The American
young men OF Miss CaIdwelI's acquaint-
ance will probably appreciate this. But
she must have met very scraggy lot if
they were inferior to the remains of any
dead monarchy on earth.

THE cry of hostility TO railroads. is
a SANDER on the people. Right Or
wrong, constitutional7o Cor unconstitutional !,
the people viii assert the subordination
of corporate right to that Of the public,
and railroad advocates and organs give
impetus to the demand for extreme
measures of regulation by opposing mod
crate means. If the issue is ever forced
between the cormorant and commune it
will be due more to the arrogance of the
"'cormorant' than to the eloquence
of the Commune. - Railroad man
agement itself is larely respOn-
sible for public clamor against the roads.
That management too often acts as if
there were no common interest between
roads and people; and this is the lesson
they teach the people until the latter ac-
cept it as true and enact a commission
to demonstrate their power over those
who defy it. In states where commits
sions exist the people have been educated
to the necessity for such method Of con-
troll by the roads themselves.

fit. Fort Worth has done well, but
it must Go better if it would
transform itself from town into a city
"a little pulling together, little money
from each man able TO invest, and lit
tie work eight now would inaugurate
movements tina. would convert the town
into city and add to the possessions of
every man who has aught to be added to q.
Fort Worth need not strive for the
impossible nor hope for unattain-
able thugs; but if it would
address itself to those achievements
which are easily within its grasp the re-
suit would he all that any could desire.
Does any man doubt the effect on Fort
Worth if work were inaugurated to-day
on
The Fort Worth and Albuquerque road /;
A wooden mill;
The stove factory;
A sorghum sugar mill;
A paper mill;
A cotton mill;
And last, bat not least, refrigerator e.
All these things are within the power
of Fort Worth to possess; and, once pos
sessed, the progress of the city to city
hood could not be Distracted by any eff
fort of rivalry.

WoDlsn's Clubs.
Now Nnl.lr Star

Not until within a few years has the
question of a club for women on the
same plan as a man 5 club become a
subject Of more or less interest to
women. Many of them want it, and
believe that it would be great success,
while others quite as confidently assert
to the contrary. Undoubtedly there are
excellent reasons for both opinions. An
important question Is With what class
of women would it be q success? For not
all of those who want it would be the
ones to make it successful. ana it is just
possible that after the novelty WAS worn
off the members would lose their interest
in it, and the whole thing would be a
failure.

The country around Ell Paso, Tex, abounds
in immense rattlesnakes and bullsnakes, which

SEVERAL states in the Union have rail-
road commissions and the Union itself
has commission; but IN Texas it has
been discovered that all these other
states and the Union of states are wrong
and that Legislation Is sufficient to
regulate railroads into fair dealing with
individuals and with communities. And
yet it is true that there was never a COM
mission yet that was not born OF the
inadequacy of legislation to fulfill its
purpose, and for every commission eX-
listing in the Union railroad management
is alone responsible. The people as a
rule are not hostile to railroads, but rail-
roads too often treat the people as if
there were no public rights which rail-
roads are bound to respect. and thus
force the people to extreme remedies.

Throckmorton Times.

The Fort Worth GAZETTE has. gone to
work hammer and tongs in an effort to
induce Fort Worth and Northwest Texas
to unite in a special effort to secure i'm
migration. It says that owing to the di-
verse interests of the several sections of
the state it is impossible to unite the
whole state in harmonious effort, and
that the work must of necessity be Sec
tional. 1t is meeting with favorable re-
sponses fTom several localities and we
would not be surprised if convention is
held at Fort Worth at al early date.

be compelled to suspend business, and
proposing q statement OF assets and LA

cuIar was sent out. saying they had won
500 900 on the turf, and would go on with
the business. They are saved from fail
ure, but it is probable their credit is
ruined, for certainty is the foundation of
good business management, and of all
debtors the gambler is the most uncer-

Fort Worth had the Spring Palace and
it was grand success. Her people have

She made the first cotton bagging and
now her people have organized for the

Now, mark my words, Fort Worth will
have the factories she needs in less than
a year. What a pity that the people OF

mutual good. Capital would come and
