Cattle in the Panhandle.

Special to the Statesman.
Fort WORTH, August 1.--Csptain James
d. Jeffries, manager Of the Tongue River,
ranch, just in from the Texas panhandle
says that grass is better on the range than
it has besn for years, but splenetic fever
has appeared, and is playing havoc
among cattle. In some localities cattle
are dying at the rate of forty and fifty
head per day, and the indications are they
will continue to die until frost, which will
be in October. The fever was introduced
into the Panhandle by the herds moving
from south Texas to the pastures in the
Indian Territory.

The engineering corp, of the Arkansas
Pass road com pleted the cross sectioning
of the line to this place last evening, and
grading is now progressing between Lu-
ling and Lockhart. On account of the
very unusual rain fall during June and
July, which necessarily suspended work
upon the road, our citizens have granted
an extension of thirty days, and oonstruc-
ton proceeds, Notwithstanding the strike
upon the operated lines of the road.
A number OF our citizens have gone to
San Marcos to-day to attend the closing
exercises of the Chaut auqua and hear the
eloquent lecture of Rev. Briggs.
On last Saturday the Lockhart colored
base ball club went to Luling to play the To-
cal club at that place. On their return in
the night they were intercepted on the
road short distance south of town by the
"Veiled Prophets" or some other special
Providence, and several of the young col
ored men were severely logged. We knew
there was retributive justice in store for
the base ball fiend, but it has come sooner
than we expected.
On Monday last an alteration occurred
on one of our streets between two bellicose
citizens, in which one was severely caned by
the other, drawing blood freely. AS the
cane used on the occasion was not en-
tirely worn out, we will refrain from mem
tioning names. Suffice it to say that the
injured individual is in the county hospi-
tai.
Cotton is opening very fast, and regular
picking will commence in a few days.

Deaming with satisfaction.

IT is stated with considerable posi-
tiveness both in the dispatches and
in the correspondence from Washing
ton that President Harrison has aban-
doned all ideas of appointing Attor-
ney General Miller to the supreme
bench as o successor to the late Stan
ley Matthews. The name of the Hon.
George McCrary, OF Kansas City, is
once more prominently mentioned in
connection with the important Office,
and it is said that his claims are very
favorably considered by the president
himself. Judge McCrary has had a
very extended experience as u. s.
circuit Judge for the district which in
cludes the states of Iowa, Minnesota,
Neb. aska, Missouri, Arkansas, Kan
sas and Colorado and would bling no
little experience in addition to his
other qualifications for that office.
His distinguished judicial abilities
have had abundant recognition in
high quarters and his appoin tment
might well be considered as fairly
above critic ism.

WASHINGTON, d. e. Nov. 2l.-Thos
Ryan, United States Minister to Mex
leo, in his report to Che department of
state on Mexican products and ex-
ports says: The productions of sugar
cane and wheat are remarkably small,
average value of sugar prodact is
about IL cents per pound, and ex-
ports thereof2 1-2 cents per pound,
aggregating only $lO7, 276, said to be
most inferior grade. Average value
of the coffee product is % cents per
pound, about one half of which
is exported at the value of
1853 cents per pound, and the value
of henneguin (hemp) export is more
than twice the combined value of the
entire export of sugar. coffee, corn,
wheat and textile (ibre). The native
sugar product coming into the City of
Mexico has steadily decreased from
$685., 55S Kilograms, In 1884, to 4,6Sl,-
OF Kilograms in 1883. There has been
a steady increase in beef consumption
in the Capitol from 1891 beeves

Hon. J. r. BURTON, of A bilene, Kan
sas, local legislator of come note
announces himself 8 candidate for
Senator Ingalls, seat. 1t is we'll
known that considerable disaffection
prevails in the sunflo wer state over
the course pursued by Senator In
gals and there is no doubt that a de-
termined effort Will be made to defeat
him before the next state legislature.
Burton's principal claim to the seat
appears to be one preferred for him
by his tailor, he posing as the best
dressed man in the state of Kansas.
1t will take something other than
dudeism to supercede the brainy son
OF Kansas in the confidence and affec-
ton of his constituents. Ingalls, may
be bitter, but he is big and brainy;
large in the quality of his mind and
by no means the narrow minded poll
tician that his enemies assert. He
has served Kansas faithfully and
well and in that service has Conferred
distinction upon her bless than upon
himself. The great state which he
represents so ably in the senate of the
United States cannot afford to shelve
him for any light or trivial cause. To
supercede him in fit of spleen, be-
cause Of democratic criticism on some
of his bitter speeches would be fatal
mistake for Kansas.

of the statements. A little fire gen.

Grand opera house was hOnOred
last evening by the presence of Miss
Agnes Herndon in the play "a Wo-
mans Revenge" and her efforts were
closely scanned by critical and
very select audience. She is beau
titul woman, with fine physique and
splendid voice and presence"
She carried her part as LA Belle
Marie" with skillful tact throughout
and gave San Antonio the Opportun-
ity of seeing a splendid display of
versatile histrionic ability. The role
is one which presents many fine OPP
portunities in the delineatlon of pas
sion, both i'm defamation and facial
expression. particularly in the first
| act, when at the climax, the betrayed
| girl in the presence of her dead
father and her cringing betray-
| er, swears to be revenged.
AS Belle Marie, in carrying
out this oath. Miss Herndon invested
the part of the gay French woman
| with that peculiar chic, in manner
and speech, which is the ideal OF the
character and SO peculiar to the
French, while her individuality was
completely lost in the concluding
acts as the lines about her victim
grow stronger and she declares she
hates him. The other characters in
the play are fully strong enough to
we'll support her, and the company Is
very we'll balanced.
While the play does not commend
itself to high moral education
of humanity, dealing as it does
with the story of wronged
woman, who revenges herself full
ly upon her betrayer, it pOin is
an excellent moral and also warn
ing. and is to Miss Herndon fine
vehicle for the presents tiOn of her
claims as an actress. Tonight she
appears as Mrs. Violet Grandville
Smith, in the comedy, 1.-THE CONNER
cal Tourists Bride"
Tomorrow night "Trip Van Winkle''

THE indictment of Charles Fergu-
son, the expelled cOlOred clerk OF

the tracks of the political diabolism

Uncle Sam will have the case in his
own courts before it is over. Gov.
Ross signs the requisition for Fer
yuson's extradition, who would still
have been doing business at the old
stand, had he not been shot-gunned
out of the country. The whole thing
is a Transparent fraud Of the first
water. To drive q man from home
on account of his color, rob him OF
his office and turn it over to the
hands of his political foes then charge
him with fraud long months after
his expatriation, and make his alb
sence the plea upon which his guilt
is predical ed is such a monstrous
injustice as calls for the most unquali-
fed condemnation.
