The Waco Of to-day is not the Waco
Of month ago. She has been born
again. New hopes, new purposes and
new ambitions gil her veins with life
giving animus. She is also realising
the truth OF the old adage that, the
Gods help those who help themselves,
aud simultaneous with the quickened
sensibilities of her people GENES a
quickened interest in the outside world
in her prospects and destiny. Chief
among the hopeful things which have
happened since the discovery Of artes-
ian water is the presence in our midst
of distinguished officers Of the Cotton
Belt road, whose departure from St.
Louis on special mission, in which
Waco is vitality interested, was pub
lished in the News Of Tuesday last.
These three gentlemen camo in on
Saturday from New Orleans via the
st. l., Ark. and Tex. railroad, and we.e
met here by Mr.. Fordyce, president Of
the road, who came direct from Ala
bama. A part Of the mission Of the
three railroad potentates was stated on
Wednesday to be an examination Of
the suitation with reference to grand
road from Waco down the Brazos to in
tercept a part Of the Texas trade
through New Orleans and Galveston.
The nature of their mission was given
on Sunday morning by local repo rter
Of the St. Louis Republican, and may
be relied upon almost implicitly, ss the
reporters Of newspapers take 6rst rank
in evidence on matters of fact the very
tenure Of their Office being simply accu-
racy and judgment. Everything since
has but corroborated the anture Of the
mission Of these three gentlemen as
given in the News. They have taken
in the great trade centers through
which southern Texas trade comes,
and are viewing every railroad but their
own, and during their stay in Waco
have manifested indications Of some
thing being in the wind out Of the
common and that something being
alive down the river. It may be put
down as very reasonable inference
that the Cotton Belt is going to build
from Waco downwards. Even vague
hope is sufficient provocation to thr ow
up hats and hurrah, but there is far
more within the knowledge Of the News
than a mere hope, and it may sur
prise no one if dirt were thrown at
one end Of the Brazos Valley railroad
BY the Cotton Belt, while the scrapers
Of President Lott are working at the
other. Viva Ia Cotton Belt. Viva IL

Base Ball.

A good crowd assembled at Pa
gifts Park yesterday to witness a
game between the Professionals and
the Amatuers. All expressed thom-
selves as well pleased with the game,
or rather the way in which the league
team handled themselves. The score
stood at the close of the game fifteen
to nothing In favor of Pettiford's men.
The amatuers played we'll for their
practice. and made some good plays
in the field. McNabb has his fun
with the boys and encouraged them
by letting them make foul hits.
Jones and O'Neal caught the crowd.
Chouvuette and Elllff will make the
people forget Guehrer.
Ellsworth and Buchan come up to
their old standard of reliability and
and staying qualities.
It lie unnecessary to mention Rose
and Pettiford, as we all know what
they are.
Jesse Derrick will don his suit ana
be with the boys this afternoon.
A match game will be arranged for
next Sunday with some club from
Corsicanna. If possible. If not the am
atuers and professionals will make
another display of their powers, the
amatuers taking the leagues best
battery.
Below we give the score of yester-
days game.

Stole His Roast.

Mr.. Charlie Portland IL one OF the
most genial men in town, cookbook
ing and good-natured, and seldom
loses his patience. But this morning
he is mad all over. He has been half
the morning in at Ambold's ordering
shot guns, columbiads, duck shot, and
death dealing cartridges. Tonight
his house will be an arsenal, and the
grey dawn Of tomorrow morning will
see him lurking in the grey mist of
daybreak with blood IN his eye and Q
Winchester loaded for gore in his
hand. The provocstion was sufficient
to stir placid blood to thoughts Of re-
venge. Portland is . good providsr.
and on Saturday night goes home
with his pockets loaded with good
things for the little folks, and his Sum
day dinners are feasts. Last Satur-
day night he picked out an extra fine
roast for his Sunday dinner and made
his butcher swear with his right hand
on his cleaver that he wouldn't SUBJ
stitute another roast for it, and went
home and slept the sleep Of peace,
smacking his lips at intervals during
the night, as in sweet dreams he saw
that roast on his Sunday table, with
the unctious gravy running over Its
brown, crisp sides. But there was no
pork roast on the Sunday dinner table
at the mansion Portland yesterday.
A great, ungodly buzzard spied that
roast on the gate post Sunday morn
ing early, and, no one being stirring,
proceeded to interview it. The
winged beast pulled it down on the
ground, ana rolling 1t in the mud and
sand after the fashion of buzzards, de-
voured 1t, ate 1t, and gobled 1t up ia
the last shred of flesh. When For.
trand rose his first thought was of his
roast, and he went out en- deshabille
to his front gate to get 1t. What he
saw was the bone on the ground and
the buzzard ON the stable nodding in
repletion. What is singular Fortrsnd
said nothing. He looked reproach'
fully at the bone and went into the
house. and was very quiet all day

departure and If 1t keeps up to the
mark will work a needed reform. The
police court, though dealing only with
petty cases, represents the dignity of
the great state of Texas as we'll as the
higher courts, and its mandates should
be respected as much as those of the
supreme court. Such courts are Of
course to be run with q good deal Of
good nature and tolerance, dealing as
they do with the weak and erring
rather than with the criminal and the
vicious. The Waco police court has
always exhibited that usual tolerance
and kindliness, but 1t seems to have
been mistaken for weakness to such
an extent as to block court proceed.

It is told OF a well-known citizen, who
had become fascinated with the seductive
game of poker, that he rolled into the
family circle about a m. the other day
and, casting aside all the time-worn ex-
cuses of business and lodges, boldly ad-
mitted that he had been playing cards.

Caudle lecture he declared ne could cite
the Bible i'll support of the game, and
handed over to his surprised spouse the

provided himself:

in consequence Of my arrest and
Imprisonment, and that petition
is being circulated and signed by
some az our most influential citizens
asking that be released from con

l.-Because they have good rca-
sons TO believe that thesoindictmen
against mo are the result of potty
spite work, and they do not propose
to be burdencd with taxes to prose-
cute cases merely to crafty n spirit
of malice manifested by some two or
three individuals Of our ncighbor-
hood.
g. Because there is considerable
of sickness in the ncighborhood and
my services are needed in families
who have been without medical
attendant since my arrest; in con
sequence Of MI the other physicians
within their reach having already
more than they can properly attend
to.
Because it is impossible for
me tosatisfy the judgments without
bcggaring my family, and would be
obliged to apply to the oyerseer Of
the poor to provide for them until |
could recover from the loss of time
caused by being sick myself and
having sickness in my family, to-

thereby.
