WHERE THEY CINE FROM.


The first fifty pages of the big register
at the Texas Spring Palace show the
presence of visitors from every state and
territory in the American union save and
except only
Rhode Island;
Oregon;
Montana;
Nevada;
Wyoming;
Arizona
The representative of The GAZETTE
who made the investigation wearied of
the task and cannot say what the re-
naming hundreds of pages reveal.
In addition to all the safes aud terri
tories Except the above named), these
first pages also disclose the presence of
visitors at the Palace from England,
Belgium, Scotland, Ireland, Canada,
Nova Scotia and Mexico.
With the products and people of Texas
presented to all these visitors no man can
doubt the result. The Texas Spring
Palace exhibit marks an era in the
progress of the state.

correspondence OF tLe Gazette.
ARLINGTON, TEX, June 25.-Great
excitement was occasioned here yester-
day evening by the mysterious and sud-
den disappearance CT little Frank
Wynne, nephew of DR.. W. H. Cowans,
Of this place. Nearly every citizen of
the town turned out and joined in the
hunt, which lasted all night and re-
suited in his being found this morning at
Grand Prairie station, six miles east of
here. 1t seems that he suddenly took q
notion to yisII his brother, who lives at
Wills Point, and at once started on foot
to carry out his purpose. Rain began
falling about dark last night, which made
the hunt very disagreeable.

ACCORDING to THE GAZETTE s Austin
special correspondent, "There is high
authority for the statement that the vast
body of railroad lands affected by the
Val Verde suit have in reality never
passed into the hands of settlers, but are
mostly held by corporations, foreign and
otherwise, constituting a sort of side
pocket for the railroads - If this be
true those Texas newspap ers that are so
concerned for the validity of Texas land
titles and for the woes Of the settler,
should pause in their lamentations until
a statement is made showing the effect of
the decision in the Val Verde suit

Has Grit and Push.

The Spring Palace is over, and Fort
Worth is already asking, what next?
She fully realizes that eternal vigilance
and ceaseless progress is her only hope
of keeping in the ranks with the power
full rivalry of Dallas so near her door
Her aim is to branch out westward, open
up the avenues along the lines that pass
through Fort Worth before reaching
Dallas, and thus levy tribute upon
their productiveness and skim the
cream of their trade before it can reach
Dallas. Had San Antonio manifested
the push and liberality and grit of Fort
Worth her population instead of increas-
ing from three to FIVE thousand per an
mum would have increased from ten to
twenty thousand, and would to-day
closely approximate one hundred thou
sand. This city occupies a natural posi-
ton and local advantages which no city
in North Texas possesses. San Antonio
has natural advantages of a remarkable
kind. Fort Worth has grit and push and
business brains and liberal capital and
faith in herself against all odds She
banks on these and finds them good in
vestment. They bring in both money
and men.

WORK OK WORK EVER

Sunday Mirror: There are those who
cavil at the view taken by many that
happiness is the proper object of pur-
suit by mankind, but whether its OBJ
tanning should be primary or secondary,
there is no difference of opinion as to It's
desirability. 1t is not probable that the
projectors of the Spring Palace enter
prise took as a factor for the successful
elimination of their labors the amount
Of happiness and the overflow of good
fellowship that has resulted, but there is
little doubt that while the balance
in the ledger may not have been
affected, yet in the grand sum-
ming up OF life work, the final re-
suits are largely augmented. The
bright faces of the multitude, the chill
dren full of music and of patriotism the
cordial greeting and tender leave TAX
ings, the witehing sweetness of the last
notes from the band who came as
strangers but left as friends, is a scene
ever present and teaches a lesson never
to be forgotten. The impetus given by
the work OF the past three months will 90
on in bright fulfllment of the hopes
that inpelled it, and it does not require
prophetic vision to discern the future
compensation of past effort.
The beautiful badge TO Capt. Paddock
and the substantial evidence in a well
filed purse to Gen. Cameron, presented
by the directory as tokens of merited es-
TEEN, prove most fitting; while the
souvenir medals and floral offerings to
the band made the hearts of the musi-
clans warm to Texas, and they will each
carry to their homes just conceptions of
Texas large of territory and large of
heart. The curtain has fallen upon the
first act; but there can be no cessation of
energy. This is but the seed sowing.
Full harvest comes by diligence The
sower must not spare, the laborer must
rise early and work late, and fainting
not the reaping viii be an hundred fold.

Is the Earth in Danger from the Dim

is the Earth IN Danger from the Drill Z
Professor ]. F. Jones answers, in q
req mt issue of the Popular Science
M ithIy, the question, f'Is it safe TO
drill the earth too mueh?" The professor
assumes the earth to be hollow sphere
filed with a gaseous substance called
by us natural gas, and he thinks
that tapping these reservoirs win cause
disastrous explosions, resulting from the
lighted gas coming in contrct with that
which is escaping. He compares the
earth to balloon tioated and kept dis
tended by the gas in the interior, which,
if exhausted, win cause the crust to
collapse, affect the motion of the earth
in its orbit, cause it to lose its place
among the heavenly bodies and fall in
pieces.
Another writer thinks that drilling
should be prohibited by stringent laws.
He, too, thinks there is possibility of
an explosion.
Still another theorist has investigated
the gas wells with telephones and deli
cate thermometers, and he announces
startling discoveries. He distinguished
sounds like the boiling of rocks, and es-
timated that mile and one-half or so
beneath the Ohio and Indiana gas field

TIE attorney general Of Texas has
been charged with burning desire to
become governor OF the state Not be-
ing in his confidence, THE GAZETTE Is I'M
able to judge the truth of the charge;
but if Mr.. Hogg wants TO be governor he
is making the Queerest canvass in the
annals of politics. He has managed to
incur the eumitY Of railroads, of lnsur-
ance and big land companies, of leading
newspapers, of the San Antonio saloon
interests, of Austin street railroads, of the
drummers, and now, in all human prob
ability, of the sheriffs Mr.. Hogg may
or may not have gubernatorial aspira-
tons, but if he has he certainly shows
little regard for the influences that are
usually deemed all powerful by the pol
iticians, viz: Corporations, newspapers
and county officers. Perhaps, after all,
Mr.. HOgg is not to be a candidate for
governor but simply desires to perform
his duty as the law determines it.

yFL UENCE OF THE PALACE

I u.
The Sherman Herald realizes the per-
| manent good accomplished by the Texas
Spring Palace, when it says: ''The
Spring Palace is now closed for the sea-
son. If 1t be found when the figures are
made and disbursements and receipts
properly balanced that the good people
of Fort Worth who have put so much of
their time and money in it, have come
out in manner satisfactory to them
selves, they viii have done well. The
great triumph of the enterprise is, how
ever, yet to come. - This is true. Long
after the men who gave the Palace to
Texas are dead, the state will continue
TO reap the advantages of this unique and
truthful presentation of its people and
products at Fort Worth. Indeed, the
man who cannot perceive the benefits to
the state from this exhibit is blind to the
relation between cause and effect.
But the influence of the Pal
ace will not be felt alone in
our fields and mines and work.
shops; it will impress itself upon our So
cial life and give impulse to sohoolroom
and home. The Palace was an educator
and reflner, as the beautiful must ever
be. No woman or child or true man
could look on the Palace and its wonder
full creations without being the better for
it. Ideas for the establishment of
homes were conveyed by the exhibit,
and musical taste was inculcated and
elevated. The Palace was q thing OF
beauty and therefore thing of good to
all who were privileged to gaze upon and
enjoy it. Locally, the Palace drew the
people of Fort Worth closer together,
and in the execution of it was formed the
nucleus for social capitalization which
this city has been too busy to provide for
in the past. The Palace was a success, but
its great triumphs are yet to come =
in the census reports, in the tax rolls, in
the home, in the social circle and in fu-
ture efforts for Texas and Fort Worth.

MORMONISM.
The Doctrine Preached and Carried Into Effect
in West Virginia.

The Doctrine Preached and Carried Into Eject
in West Virginia.
WHEELING, W. VA. July The per-
sistency with which Mormon missionaries
are carrying on their work in some parts
of West Virginia is beginning to excite
great deal of Indignation There is likely
to be trouble very soon. Richie county
is at present the scene of the most active
operations, and two elders have taken up
permanent quarters there. On Indian
creek there is quite a large congregation
and meetings are held nightly, at which
polygamy is not only preached but at
tempts are being made to carry the
theory into practice, at least one convert
having taken unto himself another wife
In other parts of the same county like
success has attended the efforts of the
missionaries, and in all there are fifty
full-fiedged Mormons in the county No
efforts, it seems, are being made to
transplant the converts.

4 NOVEL IDEA

The Northwestern RaiIroader advances
a novel theory TO account for the in
creased number of storms and floods IN
recent years. 1t says there are more
than thirty thousand locomotives in use

from these sent out INTO the atmosphere

billion cubic yards, which must be re-

If the Spring Palace has been profitable
and beneficial TO Texas, the good people
of Fort Worth should give the largest
NEED of praise to THE GAZETTE.

Old Settlers Predict Volcanic Outbursts in the
Sierra Nevada Mountains.
SAN Francisco, CAL, July News
from Susanville, in the Sierra Nevadas,
says slight earthquake shocks continue,
and that the people have become so ac-
customed to the constant trembling of
the earth that they pay no attention to it
The shocks, however, have revived the
Tecollections of old settlers, who predict
volcanic disturbances in extinct craters
such as took place in 1850 Susanville
lies in High Mountain Wild valley, di-
rectly east of Lassen Butte, an extinct
volcano 10 500 feet high. From its
summit no less than forty extinct craters
can be seen Cinder Cone, which rises
100 feet above the level of the plateau,
was IN eruption in 1850. Two prospectors
visited it and they found Lake TaIsarato,
eight miles south of Cinder Cone, a CEN
ter of volcanic forces. The lake was a
mass of boiling water and mud and from
it vast columns of flames shot UP at in
tervals. Timber in the vicinity was on
fire. Within two years there has seemed
renewed activity in internal fires. and
the present shocks have proven the pos
sibility of another great volcanic out
burst, which will find vent through some

room of the Continental Guards armory

act. Capt. Pierce was for several years

WILL REAP THE BENEFIT

Brentwood Banner: The success of
the Spring Palace is conceded by every
one that attended the exhibition, and as
Mayor Morgan says, Brown county
should feel gratif1ed at the success of her
own exhibit and the manner of its dis
play, ETC., by their delegate, Mrs. Carl
Vincent, and that our people should feel
grateful to Fort Worth and the origina-
tors of the enterprise in affording us so
favorable chance to display our agri-
cultural resources and products. Mr..
Morgan states that he regarded Brown
cOunty's the most creditable agricultural
exhibit in the Spring Palace, and pre-
diets that we will reap a great benefit
from it.

Inches in Thirty Three Hours.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, july 1.-The
steamer Rio de Janerio arrived late last
night from Hong Kong, Yokohoma. One
of the most destructive storms in the his
tory of Hong Hong occurred May 20 and
30. The total rainfall for thirty-three
hours was twenty-nlne and one-half
inches, at one time the fall measuring
three inches per honr. The Hong Kong
papers do not estimate the loss to private
property, but estimate the loss to public
property at 5000 900. Scarcely a house
within an area of thirty-two
square miles but what suffered. All
the roads and streets in the colony were
turned into mud heaps and innumerable
shops and dwellings were flooded Fiji
teen lives were known TO have been lost

after the storm the city presented the ap-
pearance Of having suffered subteran-
