Doisea tho Guards,

DouSeu inc
The South Pierre Boomers made another
attempt 10 90 over about o'clock yesterday
morning. They had about seventy-fve wag-
ons, whose wheels had been muf}ied and by
great secrecy succeeded in gaining tho other
bank without being challenged by the sentry,
and were in the act Of escaping into the hills
when discovered. The guard was immedi.
ately caught and gagged, put in one of the
wagons, and carried to some timber farther
inland, where he was left. About this time
other officers came along and not finding the
sentry in his place, raised an alarm.
Captured by the Troops.
A skirmishing party was organized and
soon found boomers to the number of.several
hundred rapidly getting into the interior.
Some mounted infantry were sent in pur-
suit. and upon overtaking the boomers fired
a volley over their heads. The latter then
scattered, but the infantry spread out also
and finally succeeded in capturing all but a
few and took them to the guard house at
Fort Pierre.
Stampeded the Line.
About the same time a smaller crowd of
boomers attempted to cross half a mile
above this city. Most of them were on foot.
A few light wagons accompanied them.
When near the other side big stampede
was made to get over the bank and break the
line of the guard, and they succeeded in
dashing through, but the infantry started in
hot pursuit. Many evaded their pursuers,
however, and are now in the interior.

Those who were captured were roughly led
back and brought over to this side. The
guard house was too full to hold them. The
Indian police are aiding the soldiers a | they
can, and have been the means of capturing

The Real Ranson Why tn Harvest Excursions

The Real RaGson Why tn Harvest Excursions
Ering So Few People Into thu safe.
The harvest excursions to Texas. Arkansas
and Southern Missouri his year have not been
patronzed nearly as literally as in previous
years, and but very few people are avliliuE
themselves of the opportunity of visiting their
friends and relatives and taking advantage o!
the reduced rates of fare.
The reason given for the great falling off ia
this special line OF travel is quite a simple one
the majority Of the travellers during the harvest
excu -sion time are farmers and their families.
THIS year. however the farmers have an abund-
nnce of reasons for staying at home. The
Farmers Alliance was never as st Dag as at
present, and politics never were SO hot. This
does not apply TO Alabama alone, but to
Georgia, both the Carollnas and Tennessee.
The farmers are staying at home thIs year to
look after their political interests Dallas
News.
To the Gazette.
find the above in the Dallas News.
The excuses given for not bringing more
people TO Texas on the late sxcur-
sion from the Southeastern states
by the News is all very well Gs Iar
as they go, but don't go quite
far enough. Permit me to add one more
good reason why there were not more
people brought to Texas on the one fare
round trip excursion rate. The principal
reason as 1 see it is this, the lack of in-
terest taken in the work by the railroads
of Texas, had not little to do with the
slim turn out from the Southeast. Had
the Texas roads worked this excursion
as the Southeast roads did the excursion
from Texas to the Southeastern states in
December last, there would have been
ten to one more people come to Texas.
The Southeastern roads sent TO Texas
last winter over fifty travelling pas
senger agents to work up and
advertise the holiday excursion to
the Southeastern states from this state.
The result was that thousands of tickets
were sold. How many travelling agents
did the Texas railroads send over into the
Southeastern states to work up the eI-
cursion this way the last of July? l will
venture to say that there was not one
agent representing Texas line sent into
the Southeastern states TO assist in Hd-
vertising the late excursion TO Texas.
When Texas railroads work for business
az other roads do to work business and
people out OF Texas they will not have
to make excuses. They will have the
people to show and speak for themselves.
When the Southeastern roads have q one
fare round trip rate out of Texas they
work it and carry the people back with
them instead of excuses.
Yes, dear GAZETTE, had the Texas
roads sent their travelling passenger and
emigration agents over into the South
eastern states early last mouth loaded up
with Texas printed matter they would
have thousands of people riding over
Texas by this time where they have d
few hundred. ONE WHO KNOWS.

JUDGE COOKS POLITICAL
HEADEP

Hon. Gustave Cook refuses to play
any more. He can't boss the game !,
and SO snatches his pIaythings and goes
whimpering to his granddam, the COM
bine. Well, we are sorry for the Hon.
Gustave, for he is at heart good fell
low, but this last outbreak OF petulance
this childish tantrum into which he has
fallen, is not calculated TO increase the
sympathy for him that his defeat in the
convention would naturally arouse.
We must take the liberty of telling the
Hon. Gustave that his declining to go
before the convention after being de-
feated in an honorable contest before the
primaries, and by anticipation boiling
the action of the convention, is ungai-
liant, unmanly and nndemocratio, es-
pecially so in view OF the reasons as
signed for such conduct. Now what are
his reasons?

The Manufacturers Record OF August
9, says: The contrast between the
West and Northwest and the South is be-
ing very strikingly brought out at present
by the daily crop reports. In the former
sections disastrous crop failures seem to
be the order of the day. From Kansas
comes the report of a corn crop OF only
20 per cent. of last years, while Dakota
sends out doleful tales OF short yields of
cereals. In the South the farmers are
rejoicing over the finest prospects known
for many wears, and the Indications now
point to the largest cotton crop ever
raised, with prices high on account of
the steadily increasing demand through
out the world for cotton goods.
"Stanley - said the late Henry W.
Grady, "is but AN advance agent for
American cotton goods;' for wherever
civilization is pushed into new regions
the demand for clothing necessarily fol-
lows. And SO, while the South keeps on
extending its cotton area and enlarging
its crop, prices have for several years
tended upwards.
Already the movement OF cotton to the
towns has commenced, and everywhere
throughout the South the farmers are
made glad by the prospects OF All abun-
dant harvest. This means great sur
plus of money in that section which will
still further help on the Industrial de-
yelopment of the whole South. With
prosperity ruling everywhere In the
South, aud New England and Western
money crowding down to share IN the
profits that must follow the building up
of such great industrial interests as our
country has not yet seen, we may look
for season of wonderful activity from
Maryland to Texas.
The past week has witnessed the or
ganlzation of many enterprises. Fol-
lowing In the line OF the steel works re-
ported last week comes the contract for
steel works at Middlesborough, KY, to
be built by English people at cost of
$3.50 900; at Ashland. IN tbs same state,
plans are being natured for large steel
works. In Alabama $50, 900 -four mill
company and a SIS, 900 fertilizer factory
company have been Incorporated. In
Arkansas $40, 900 ice factory will be
built. Virginia shows $50 900 hard
ware factory company at Basic City;
$500, 900 boiler and machine works OF
Buena Vista; $500 900 rolling mill at
Glasgow, to be removed from Ohio; a
500 900 WOODEN mill company ut Clifton
Forge; $500 900 company TO build reduce
ton works at Mineral City, and $780,
900 woodworking company ct Culpeper.
In Texas 500, 900 agricultural imple-
ment factory has been organized; $780,
900 ironwork and $50, ZOO printing and
lithographing company. All along the
line the South lie growing and p.ospering.
Activity il seen everywhere, and the fall
season will, we believe, show degree of
prosperity far greater than the South has
ever before enjoyed.

CROCKETT, TEX, Aug. s, 1890.
To the Gazette.
Bailey's brilliant canvass in the Fifth
congressional district is watched with in
terest here, though far removed from
the seat of action. His friends here are
sanguine, and all declare that Bailey in
congress from this state would be an
honor to the young men of this splendid
commonwealth and add new lustre to the
Lone Star of Texas.
This portion of the state, though not
to be called sectional, would probably
prefer an East Texas man for speaker of
the next house. In case the selection
should be made from the Northwest it is
probable that Hon. James W. Swayne of
Tarraut county would be preferred.
Bailey Of Cook and Swayne OF Tarrant
are the names of two young men of
Northwest Texas whose repu tatlons are
unbounded by the confines of single
section, but are as broad as the area OF
this great state. When the future his
tory of Texas shall hnve been written It
will, doubtless, be found that they have
played no unimportant part in its max
ing. G.
