The exhibit OF iron ore from this
county in the Spring Palace is having the,
effect the Times predicted it ,uld havsl
in advertising the county as ODE of ths
richest in mineral wealth in the SQtir4
state. The exhibit is attracting the az
tention of every business man who visits
the Spring Palace and impresses upon
him the fact that Cherokee county pos
sesses in abundance that which is the
basis of all manufactures-iron III un-
limited quantities. 1t is a refutaticn of
the statement that Texas is exclusively az
agricultural state and presents the
grand possibilities for the future indus
trial interests of the state and especially
of Cherokee county. The cost or send

are looking for homes in country where

NEW YORK, June 28.-R. G.. Dun &
Co. IS weekly review of trade says:
It has been week of considerable ex-
element in speculative circles and of
general trade, without any material
change in conditions. AS all depends in
large measure at this season on crop
prospects it is most encouraging to find
reports in this particular unusually
favorable, the only noteworthy excep-
ton being that some damage to cotton
and grain from frequent rains is reported
at Galveston. In the Northwest the
grain outlook is particularly fine, great
Improvement being reported in quarters
where there had been some apprehension
OF crops. A yield of unusual magnitude
is highly probable, and with the general
volume of business so maintained that an
increase of 80 per cent. over
last year appears in the clearing
house returns the prospect is not
as gloomy. Detroit notes a quiet bust
ness, and Kansas City and Omaha report
fair activity. AT Milwaukee the i'm
prOEement is seen with greater
activity, and at Cleveland and Pitts
burg iron and other trades continue to
mend. Glass factories have about all
closed for the summer. Coal min
ing on the Monongahela is dull.

Activity and Contentment.
Waco Trade Review.

Last Saturday night the editor of this
paper enjoyed the company of a Waco
business man We were en- route to this
city from Fort Worth. Much was said of
the energy and progressive spirit of the
Fort Worth people Much was said of
Waco in comparison. This gentleman is
one of those active spirits who are always
Disconnected when not 'driVing'' ahead
in the busy marts of life. He was re-
Gently merchant at Waco, but will soon
make Fort Worth his home.
The train was standing at a water
tank. 1t was midnight. The doleful
cricket chirped his song, the meadow
lark was heard far away, and the weird
shrek of the owl, all made the dolefuI
moment in striking contrast with his
restless nature. The uniform putting of
the engine was distinctly heard, and
right here was suggested the though of
how restless that engine seemed to be
when standing still $50 1t is with
every ambitious man, - remarked one
present. Happiness - he continued,
''is the chief aim of our lives; yet there
is no happiness without contentment,
and we cannot afford TO be con-
tented because it DESTROYS ambi-
ton, the deatl of which removes
the motive power of action-th erefore a
contented community would be drones,
alike useless to themselves and the rest
of mankind. 1t is the restless, dlscon-
tented, wlde-awake men that alone keep
the wheels of progress in motion, the
wheels of commerce revolving 1t is
such men as those at Fort Worth who
achieve greater and grander results for
their city and themselves as they move. -
There was so much logic in 1t, so much
truth, so applicable to prove a moral to
others, that we cannot refrain from al
ludipg to it

A Tin whistle in the Flesh of an Ok

Pall Mail Gazette.
few days ago Mr.. Hogson Boazman
cattle dealer, Kelso, bought three
year-old bullock from East BIanerne
and sent it with others to the market at
Wakefield. 1t was purchased for the
Batley-Carr cooperative stores and in
due course the bullock was slaughtered
In cutting the steak bone from the sir
loin the knife came in contact with a.
hard substance. This was sawed
through, and common tin whis-
tie was found imbedded in the
undercut of the sirloin. There
was no appearance of irritation, and the
meat around the foreign substance was
perfectly good. The whistle Is ten inches
in length and slightly in excess of half
an inch broad at the mouth-piece. The
most probable explanation of the whistle
getting into the muscle Of the OK is that
it was dropped into straw or other bed
ding, and, resting there in vertical po-
sition with the shall end upward when
The bullock lay Adown, the small end,
with its sharp eds Q of metal. was forced
into the body.

Vocational Banks in the Five Nations.


WASHINGTON June 81 Attorney Gen.
eral Miller has given an opinion to the
secretary of the treasury that national
bank cannot be lawfully estab-
lished in that part of the Indian
Territory ''lying within the juris-
diction of the Union agency which
extends over the country occupied
by the five civilized tribes, viz:
Cherokees, Greeks, Seminoles, Choc-
taws, and Chickasaws, - not
withstanding the bank directors shall
be citizens of the United States The
question arose on an application for au-
thority to organize a national bank at
Muskogee, town in the Greek nation.
The legal objections thereto according to
general grow out of treaties
now in force between the United States
and the Creek nation whereby national
bank laws can be put in operation in that
territory only by special legislation.
