The demand for more public wells
in the city is growing day by day. Dis
tricts remote from water is beng
settled up and the water mains are
not being extended and under existing
regulations are not likely to be for a
long time to come and the water is only
fit for washing feet and Scrubbing floors
when you do get it. The water derived
from our wells is excellent the best in
the country, and the people who came
here and build homes and contribute
to the support of the city are entitled
TO, and should be furnished a reason
ably liberal supply of good water. In
what is known as the Central Park
district at least four new wells are
badly needed, and not less than three
more are now needed at the East End,
and for the w est End we will let the
people there speak for themselves. Our
Chamber of Commerce last Monday
appointed a committee with Mr. Tubbs
as chairman to look into the needs of
the people in this respect and report
to the Chamber next Monday morning.

Our town was quite beautifully
decorated with evergreens, bunting
and flags on the Fourth. Capt. Marcy
had his place of business handsomely
looked well also. Business was gener-
ally suspended and all enjoyed the day,
each according to his fancy, there
being no regular plan of celebration.

The Fourth " was all that could be
desired 50 far as the weather was con
concerned, only little muddy under
loot during the morning but as there
were no parades on the list this did
not matter much. Almost everybody
went to Minnesota Point picnicing.
MIR. and Mrs. F. III. Wright concluded
| they would not go over until afternoon
and at the appointed time Mr. Neil
Smith took his boat and went after
them. Arriving at the dock or boat
house, Mr.. Smith found that he had to
go up town on matter of business,
but said he would not keep them wait
ing long When Mr.. Wright thought
1t was nearly time for Mr. Smith to be
comming he suggested that they get
INTO the boat SO as to be all ready to
start when he should arrive, and pro-
ceeded to put the suggestion into exc
cutlon. He got into the boat took his
little two year old girl in and Mrs.
Wright followed, but she thoughtlessly
stepped upon the edge of the boat
instead of in the middle of it and,
presto, they were all in the water
The little one was thrown out upon
some logs SO that it was safe, Mrs
Wright caught hold of IA convenient
log and kept her head above water
while Mr.. Wright was picking himself
up i'll deeper water and getting his
bearings for rescue work. Mr.. Geo. l..
Brooks happened to be on the dock and
saw the accident and he was soon in
the water and Mrs. Wright was got
out just as her hold upon the log was
giving away, and all We're rescued with
no further damage than a good wet
ting and Il bad scare. Mr.. Smith then
got up his team and took them home

Our Chamber of Commerce has
appointed Messrs. Phil. ii. Perkins
and ID. f. Roberts a committee on
Public Parks and tree planting, who
will view sites and recommend action
to the City Council III conjunction
with the committee at the West End.
Nothing is SO attractive or beneficial,
from a sanitary standpoint, to city
as long lines of beautiful shade trees
and plenty of well kept parks. Our
city officials will be the next thing to
criminally negligent of their duty to
the people they represent if these
things are not attended to in good
season, and that means now, because
it never can be done cheaper than
now. we trust our council will see the
necessity of prompt action and not
hesitate to move in the matter.

Duluth is just now wrestling with
| the biggest strike she has ever had
1t began with the street laborers who
wanted Sl.75 per day an increase of %
cents over What was being paid W hen
these quit work they started out to in
duce or compel all other laborers of
| whatever degree to quit work also,
until to-day there are probably 1000
idle men in that city 1t is in inter
fering with others that the striker
makes his greatest mistake. The
News, of that city, hit the nail on the
head when it said w ednesday morning:
1t will not be until the laboring
| men learn to respect the rights of the
individual that their own rights will
be respected. What have the EN-
ployees in lumber mill to do with
striking street laborerss Why should
they be asked to quit work because the
latter do? The News has no sym
pathy with movement of this kind.
1t believes in the payment of good
honest wages; it believes that men,
indiv .dually or collectively, have the
right to refuse to work for any other
kind of wages; and believes, moreover,
that they should do SO. But here their
rights end They haye no right to
interfere with another man in the per-
Torrance of his work This much
laboring men must understand Until
they do their conduct only serves to es-
TRANCE sympathy and array their
friends against their unwi5e proceed
ings."

The Best on Wheels.

The best wagon wheels are the Milburn.
No doubt about it. It is the universal
verdict of all. The best Of material and
the best of workmanship make them so.
They are made to wear and they do. They
are strong and easy running and never
fail to give entire satisfaction. The same
can be said of the Milburn buRgies, car
riages and other spring work. They have
no superior in the world and no factory
equals them for the price. Handsome
and stylish, strong and durable, they are
the worlds favorites. All work is fully
guaranteed. Dick Cunningham manages
the Milburn business in this city, and, like
the vehicles he sells, he is fsvorite with
everybody who has dealings with him.

northern markets has gone into effect.
This is not so. The freight rates here AZ
Rockdale-are the same as usual, If NOT
lower than for many years
past. This advance in freight applies to
certain towns and over certain railroads.
The International and Great Northern
railroad and the town of Rockdals do
not come under the advance headinp.',
The truth is, the International and Great
Northern has got its freight rates down to
"bed rock" prices.
great deal of wheat and oats viii be
sowed in this (Milam) county, and also
adjoining counties this year. 1t may not
be out of place to say that Colonel Scion
Joynes has just received car load of Nc
Oormlck's reapers, harvesters, binders,
etc., to cut the grain with.
Mr.. W. M. Gill, of Cameron, county clerk
OF this county, and also treasurer Of the
Milan county Farmers Alliance, was in
Rockdale last Friday for the first time
since his abductioninto the office of county
clerk. Prior to his election, Mr.. Gill was
business manager for the Farmers Alli-
ance cooperative store at Cameron. His
present "new shoes" seem to fit hin well,
as he is looking splendid and keeping the
records of the best county in Texas in
good shape and to the satisfaction of the
people.
Last Saturday there was a large num-
Der of country people in town, and the
usual amount of ''tanglefoot red eye" van
ished into the beautiful beyond.
Miss Emma Perry accompanied Miss
Ella Robinson home to Cameron last Sun
day. They left on the afternoon train.
Judge E. L. Anthony, of Cameron,
passed through Rookdale yesterday after
noon on the International and Great
Northern en- route home from Austin,
where he had been on Willie county bust
ness.
Doctor Richards, of the Pleasant Hill
community, passed through town last Sun
day noon, bound for east Texas to visit
kinsfolk .
1t is reported that gentleman from
Austin will soon open up a large general
merchandise house at Thorndale, thirteen
miles west of this city, on the l. and G. N.
road. 1t is also said that he will come
well "heeled" and be able to do big
credit business. Thorndale has a good
farming country around it, but at this
writing Rockdale is the general trading
and selling market for nearly all that
section.
Mr.. E. M. Scarborough returned Satur
day night last from his "Willie county"
mission at Austin.

TEXT BOOKS. :
Different Kinds of Books IN Use
IN the County Schools.

Different Kinds of Books IN Use
IN the County Schools.
Superintendent Maxwell has recently
visited twenty-five of the public schools in
this county and took list of the books
used. In them ne found the following
different readers, grammars, spoilers,
biographies and histories used:
Readers-16 use McGuffy's, IS Apple
toms, 8 Lippencott's, independent and
2 Swinton's.
Grammars-4 use Swinton's, 16 Reed
and Kellogg's, 2 Clark's, 2 Buttler's, 8
Smiths, l Murches', 2 Ridpath's and
Murray's.
Arithmetics-13 use Rays, Dimes, 10
Ssnfreds, 2 Whites, Barnes, Apple
toms, 8 Roberson's, 6 Davies, Quacken-
bos'.
spellers-1s use Webster (blue back),
16 Swinton's, 2 Lipponoott's and 4 Nc
Guffy's.
Geographies-10 use Murrsy's, 2 No
Nallies', II Monteiths, 2 Goodrioh's and
3 Buttler's.
Histories of the United States-14, use
Barnes, 2 Derry's, 8 Swinton's, 8 Stevens,
Homes, Eclectic.
In many schools there are as many as
three kinds of readers, four of
arithmetics, two of Biographies and SO
on. In such cases it is impossible for the
teacher to properly classify the children,
and necessitates several classes of the
same advancement in the different kinds
of books. This can only be remedied by
proper Legislation, and it is hoped that
the Legislature will give the matter proper
attention.

The Board OF Trade.

The board of trade met last afternoon
in Musical Union hall and was called to
order by President Saunders.
Secretary Geo. p. Warner being absent,
Mr.. E. Q. Bartholomew was elected secre-
tary pro TEN.
Messrs. l. Nicholson, George Warren,
A. @. Hunter, Charles Shaffer, Peyton
Brown, A. Schusterman, T. II. Philipson
and Fran Campbell were elected members.
A communication was read from the
Travis County Farmers Alliance, propos-
ing if the citizens will donate them a lot
worth from $1,000 TO $4,000 they will
improve it, the Improvements to cost the
above sums or more, and do ali they can
to build up the trade of the city. The
matter was referred to committee of
five hereafter to be appointed.
The committee appointed to secure a
site for the board of trade building re-
ported they had perfected the trade for
the lot on the Avenue, corner of West
Third street,Spsyiug for the same $1,000.
Some other business was transacted and
the board adjourned.

FARMERS INSTITUTE,
A Growing Interest in the Move
ment Among Farmers.
A Bill to be Introduced in the
House for Their Estab-
lishment.

There is agrowing interest in the Farm
ers' Institute movement among the
friends of agriculture in the house, and q
will BIZ introduced in few days. 1t is
contemplated that they shall be attached
to the bureau of agriculture, for the pur-
pose of making that department
MORE EFFICIENT,
And at the same time connected with the
State Experiment station for the purpose
of turning the work of the station to
practical account.
The idea of the Farmers Institute is to
provide a system of local clubs under
state patronage to
STUDY IMPROVED METHODS
OF agriculture and stock raising, to listen
to lectures and addresses from practical
farmers who have been successful in GER
tain lines of farming, and to bring
out by discussion and interchange of
opinions the best agricultural thought
of each community. Their effect is to
create lively interest in all that pertains
to the farm, develop more systematical
aud economical management and the best
modes of culture-in short, to give each
farmer the benefit of his neighbours ex-
perience.
In the state of Wisconsin, where they
have been successfully conducted for many
years, the whole drift of public thought is
toward the
BETTERMENT OF AGRICULTURE,
And there is more interest in new and
profitable mode of corn growing than in
the building of a railroad or the opening
of a mine. The institutes have placed
Wisconsin in the lead of agricultural
states; have been worth over million dol
lars annually in larger crops from the
same area, and put the farmer on the
very top layer of the social and political
structure.
There are already present in the city
prominent and influential farmers from
Burnet, Llano, Bell, Tarrant and Dallas
counties, and others are expected to-day,
who will attend the institute to be held in
the city Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
and impress upon the legislature the i'm
portaDce of state aid.

petent judges of such work pronounce it
first class.
During the past two years we have put in
at the Rusk penitentiary an electric light
plant and erected new kitchen, equipped
with complete and improved cooking out
mt. These improvements have not been
expensive, whilst they add greatly to the
convenience and comfort of the institution.
This prison is now provided with most Of
the modern appliances for cooking, wash
ing, heating and lighting, and in this re-
speot can be considered a model peniten-
tlary.
The various industries have been sue
cessfully operated, business in every de-
partment is increasing. We now have
several years. supply of timbered lands for
coaling purposes, one of the most import
ant items in connection with the manu-
facture of pig iron, and taken as a whole
the future of the Rusk penitentiary seems
bright.
For the favorable showing made by this
penitentiary in the past two years, and
the success which has crowned our efforts
in the operation of its departments, the
credit is largely due to the skill and ability
"a -AA' 49, a. ooAiOoO1 VI dAA bhO
industries at Rusk. His valuable services
have not been devoted to his particular
branch only, but have been freely ex-
tended at all times and in all matters
where the interests of the state could be
protected or promoted. Your honorable
board was exceedingly fortunate in pro-
curing and wise in retaining the services
of Mr.. Barrett. 1t is under his skillful
and successful direction that our iron IN
dustries at Rusk have obtained record
second to none in the country. A fact
that has attracted the attention of some
of the leading iron manufacturers of the
United States; induced northern capital
lists to invest largely in the iron lands of
Cherokee county; and has been, conf
IDENTIFY believe. the initiatory step toward
the final development of our great and
growing states iron resources.

TRADE REVIEW.
W eekly Summary of Business and TrafH O.
Throughout the Country.

Weekly Summary of Business and Traffic
Throughout the Country.
New YORK, February 1.-R. G.. Dun d
Co.'s Weekly Review Of Trade says: Dis
satisfaction with the state of trade is in
creasing, and there is general complaint
as to collections. But increasing con-
fidence in the new agreement of railroad
presidents tends to support better prices
for securities.
Clearings through the banks show a
much larger volume of business In jan
uary than for the same month last year,
and for the last week a gain of 1877 per
cent at all cities and 1877 per cent outside
of New York.
During the past week the public has
bought and stocks have advanced on an
average of $l.31 per share. The causes
of improvement are:
First-The general assent of the rail
roads to an interstate agreement.
Second-The harmonizing of the South
Pennsylvania controversy.
Third-The investment demand for
bonds aud better class of stockholders.
Wheat has declined a cent and a half
the week with sales here of 24,000000
bushels. Fairy tales about stocks on hand
are still circulated by interested partis-,
but as more heavy shipments from farms
and sale by farmers who grow tired OF
waiting for 81 80 wheat.
Corn was active and stiffened fraction.
Oil has risen 24c with sales here of 8, 800
600 barrels.
The cotton market has not changed as
to prices.
Coffee is only 16o stronger, and sugar il
unchanged, with tea firm and in good
demand at auction.
Prices for buttey cheese and eggs have
been depressed, and leather is said TO be
quoted lower than at any other time for
thirty five years.
The market for iron does not improve.
Philadelphia reports sales of $1,000 tors
of southern, and prices are about $l7 for
No. 1, against SIT so for northern. Bar
iron is more active, with prices not i'm
proved. Sales OF steel rails at Pitteburg
are reported for $26, and an eastern mill
has sold for Chicago delivery at $1,000,
equal to 1927 at the mill. Coal is dull and
mines working on short time. Copper
declined sharply, March selling at $l6.
Tin was weaker at $21.60 for spot, and
lead at 1915.
Business failures number 1872, as against
342 last week and $50 the week previous.
For the corresponding week of last year
the figures were 279.
