Il never see an onion or hear the word

used to sit in the next seat TO Artemus in
school. who was the most unclean and neg

him all the time, and you couldn't get within
four yards of him without discovering it.

BEEVILLE BUSINESS.

The Little City is Getting There on
Time.
BEEvILLE, TEXAS, Sept. "a.
Daily LIGHT.
The rapid agricultural development
Of the famous Beeville region is illus
trated by the fact that a single party
has purchased tract of 300 acres
and will divide it at once into small
farms and invite the imam with the
hoe" to visit him. A ranchman who
owns $4,000 acres near Beeville cleared
six dollars per acre by renting land
and this is giving a big impetus to
the boom. Several other big land
owners will abandon their profitless
"long-horn" system and fall into line.
Beeville will be great cotton market
next year and movements to erect
other gin houses are already on foot.
The new Southern Pacific stock
yards at this point are about COM
pleted and have accommodations for
ten thousand head without crOwding.
The yards cover over ten acres and
have all of the modern facilities for
speedy shipment and are supplied
with water from an elevated tank
holding 10000 gallons.
Father Roberts has been placed in
charge of the Beeville Catholic con-
gregation. The congregation now
has two thousand dollars in bank
and will soon begin the erection of
So, 900 church. The Methodists will
also enlarge their church to meet the
growing demands of the city.

PRIVATE DALZELL is safe to en-
dorse Corporal Tanner. They both
represent phase of soldier life and
soldier sentiment by no means I'M
common and yet far from universal or
general. These men were good SOL
diers, but they were by no means the
brains of the army. The country hon.
ors them for their services and in the
case of Corporal Tanner, who lost both
legs in battle, has debt of obligation
it can never overpay. All the same,
it is not necessary in order to prove
it's gratitude that the country and
this administration put it's success
in pawn to pay that debt. President
Harrison warmly inclined to side
with the soldier of the union and
Justly incensed at the indignity too
often put upon him during the late
administration was quite willing to
try man like Tanner, even despite
his misgiving Of his fitness for so re-
sponsible trust. The trial was
made and failed. 1t is to the credit
Of the administration patience and
forbearance that it was not made soon
er; it is TO the credit of the admins
trative wisdom that it was not longer
delayed.

THE Wyoming delegates in conven-
ton pass resolutions favoring a deep
water harbor on the gulf coast of Tex
as, and it instructs its congressional
delegation to aid in securing such
harbor. For this Texas gives thanks.
The aid of every state and territory
west of the Mississippi river is need
ed to make potent any effort for deep
water within reasonable period.
The immense carrying corporations
whose iron groves span the distance
between the trans-Mississippi region
and the Atlantic sea board, and all
the immense interests Of those sea-
ports stand mutually pledged to resist
every effort to secure deep water on
the gulf coast. The $4,000, 900 an
nually paid for that longer haul to
the seaboard and all the transfer bus
mess of those seaports is the prize for
which they contend and which they
lose with deep water han Dor on the
coast. Galveston, barred by insuper-
able engineering difficulties from par
ticipating in the deep water benefits,
naturally casts in her lot with the
Atlantic seaboard obstructionists
and by making pretence of wanting
deep water SO badly as to concentrate
all efforts upon an impossible sand
bar, hoping thereby to effectually pre-
vent any practicable movement to-
ward the creation of a deep water
harbor. Topeka will be called' upon
to endorse or repudiate the obstruc-
ZIONIST policy. Which will she do?

Professor Garrick Mallery, of Wash
ington, has been looking into the grounds
for the belief that the American Indians
are the descendants of the lost tribes of
Israel. He finds there are no reasonable
grounds for such belief, although there
is certain similarity of customs between
the Indians and the most ancient Israel
ties. But the principal reason why, in the
Judgment of Professor Mallery, the In
dams cannot be descended from the lost
tribes is that these tribes were never lost
at all, but were scattered and absorbed
in other peoples.

Army Horses.

France, it is said, cxpends for horses
to be used in the army $500, 900 year.
The United States does not expend near
as much, but it secures most excellent
horses, far above the average. Congress
annually appropriatcs $2OO, 600 to be eX-
pended in the purchase of horses These
are divided between the cavalry, artil-
lery, scouts, orderlies and officers of the
army. There are nearly 10000 horses in
use by the United States army. OF this
number about 10 per cent are sold an
nually because of their untitncss for
further cavalry or artillery duty. and
about per cent. are lost bv death. So,
in order to maintain the standard, it is
necessary to purchase about LOU
animals every year. The regulations re-
uuirc that the horse shall be gelding of
un form and hardy color; from 10 to II
hands high; from to 8 years old, and
weighing between 900 and 200 pounds
for cavalry horse, and between 1850
and l 800 for artillery horses. There are
OlItCI hSGCSStlSs ShSAA GO
the general build of the animals and
their health. Whenever it becomes
necessary to purchase the half breed
horses of California or Southern Texas,
the standard of the height is reduced to
II 1-2 hands. Long legged, loose
jointed, long bodied, and narrow chestcd
horses, as well as those which are res
tive or vicious, are rejected. The aver
age cost of horse is trifie over $l54.
As soon as the purchase is completed
the horse is branded with the letters U.
S." on the left fore shoulder and a COM
plete descriptive list is made of him,
which always accompanies him where
ever he is transferred. The animals
usually last about six years, and at the
end of that time are sold at auction, or
before if they are disabled so as to be
unfit for service. When sold the officer
puts another brand on the horse, max
ing 1t impossible for the horse to be sold
to the government at some other point.

Interest and Bad Debts.

There is a heap of truth in the follow
ing from the Fergus Fails Journal: The
reason that railroads are able to pay
dividends while other concerns are los
ing money is not wholly because they
get extortionatc rates, but because they
get the rates which they do charge with.
out any loss or delay. They suffer no
losses from bad accounts nor are they
put to big expense to collect their bills:
as is the case with every concern which
does credit business. 1t is a modest
estimate to say that there are more than
one hundred men in Otter Tail county
| to-day who are doing nothing but COL
lecting or trying to collect bills from
farmers. They hover around the thresh-
ing machine and the elevator like hawks.
They have to do it in order to get their
money. Such things are not only not
complimentary to the men who owe
debts but is awfully expensive. The
cost Of maintaining such an army OF
collectors is enormous. 1t is disastrous
eats up the dealers profits and the farm
e1s' products The credit system is the
bane of this country, We shall work
out of it in time. The past few years
have been sorry and valuable ex-
perlence to many. They have learned
to abhor debt and if they ever get out
they will be like the Irishman who went
through purgatory, they will never want
to get in again. We have got a big crop
around here this year and although the
price is low it is wonderful what a lot of
debts are being paid and interest
stopped. A good half million of debts
will be paid in this county this fall,
which means the saving of at least
$4,000 in interest. Stop this tremend-
Gus outflow of interest and it won't be
very long before we have as good times
here rs they have anywhere else.

"A Swedish Idea,

1t is astonishing how many valuable
ideas and people have come to us from
Sweden. From one of the methods en-
ployed in the education of children
there, those who are endeavoring to pro-
mote manual training in American
schools might obtain useful hints.
The system is called "Sloyd." It IA
miliarizes children with wood working
and the use of carpenters tools. A child
is brought to carpenters bench. Tools
are shown to him. and he is instructed
how to use them. Then piece of wood
is given to him, Il pattern is laid before
him, and he is told to make a wedge. 1t
must be exactly of such a length and
width. The cutting must all be done
with knife. The child's mistakes are
corrected. He tries over and over again,
and at last succeeds in making a wedge.
Then some more difficult piece of carpen-
try work is given to him, and he tries till
he can make that properly. The finished
pieces of work belong to the pupil.
The object of the training is not to
make a carpenter of the child, but to
educate his hand and eye. The method
has worked like charm in Sweden. So
it has in America, in the few places
where it has been tried. A new zest is
given to. the school among pupils who
detest it usually. All enjoy the,,work az
? il it were play. The exercise with. plane
and saw enlarge the chestand strengthen
the muscles.
Tt is becoming clear that manual train
ing must occupy a larger and larger
place in our educational system as time
goes on.

preparing to settle in Mexico. They OBJ
tanned necessary concessions from the
Mexican government, but the people of
the vicinity made strong objections to
having the colony in their neighborhood.
Under the circumstances the best thing
for the negro to do is to stay right where
he is, work hard at anything he can find
till something better offers, try with all
his might to educate himself and accu-
mttlate property, and be an honest, moral
man. That is what white people. have to
