Gen. Cameron Tells of the Conception OF

A reporter Of TIE GAZETTE found Gen, r. A.
Cameron at the city Office of the Panhandle rail-
road yesterday afternoon and opened on him
thus:

short as possible.

The Road Could Not Haul All who
SOught.to Come to Fort Worth.
A Disappointment
The Fine Weather Continues, the Crowd Never
Waivers in Its Magnitude, and the Charm
Of the Palace Never Ceases.


Those who suggested the furnishing Of an
apartment in the Texas Spring Palace dedicated
specially to Jupiter did well. 1t appears the
mighty king Of Gods and men. remindful Of the
honor paid him, is giving special attention TO
this magnificent institution, to the end that no
unpropitious weather shall interfere to mar its
perfect success.
The weather that has prevailed since the Pal
ace opened has been perfect. Such days of glo-
rious sunshine, with balmy breezes and
such nights Of cool; inyiBoreEye
atmosphere are seldom enjoyed elsewhere than
in Texas. In fact il is only in Fort Worm that
they can be found in their prime condition OF
development. No finer weather could nave
The people have taken advantage of it.
Although no accurate figures have yet been MADE
Il il safe 20 say the Attendance far this, year
has been treble that Of last year for the correS-
ponding period OF the exhibition. and with each
day OF its continuance the crowd grows larger.
rregs,ye people OF that live city
had been making arrangements for sem
eTal migration OF the citizens TO the spring
Palace on that occasion, taking advantage OF
the low rates offered by the rallroad but'there
was no expect alton that the attendance woG!d
be SO LARGE as il was When the train was
ready 20 pull out from the Bowie depot yester-
day morning the yards swarmed with peo-
pie. The ticket agent was not supplied with
enough tickets by three hundred to supply the
demand, but he soon sold all he had in stock,
and then the people began TO jump on the train
without tickets It'll 1t was packed. Still there
we're not accommodations for two or three hum
bred more who had to remain at home and try it
again some other day. Those who boarded the
train without tickets were given return passes at
the Spring Palace during the afternoon at the
excursion rate. Messrs. W. r. Lamb OF the
Bowie Independent, Superintendent Robin
son Of the Bowie public schools
aud Messrs. Thomas and Evans, the
latter president of the board Of trade, were
among the leaders in the movement, and
right well they succeeded in their effort. Dur

strangers wearing badges that indicated they
hailed from progressive Bowie.
The attendance was larger than on the pre-
ceding day The crush was heavy late in the
afternoon and night. 1t is anticipated that
there will be no let up now until the Palace
closes. ..

A Fine Game in which Both Sides went in for
Gore, but Only One Side Got Effort
Worth Is all Right.

The baseball game yesterday was frst-class
in every respect-one of the most interesting
that has been seen here this year. The promi-
nent feature was the result, which was to in
favor OF the Fort Worths, the Wacos being the
victims.
Wehrle was in the box for the home team, and
pitched one of the prettiest games that have
been seen this season on the Fort Worth
diamond. Only three hits were made
off him, and he gave no bases on
balls or wild pitches. Duane caught 9 fine
game and did excellent work with the willow.
The fielding of the Partners was good, and
many pretty plays were made.
Whitaker pitched for the Wacos. He was
rather wild, giving seven bases on balls and
George Maurer did the heavy work with the
stick, making double and triple. The score;

ENORMOUS SHIPMENTS.

Frequent shipments of carload lots
OF Dr.. Pierce's Medicines, to all the
principal commercial centers of this
country, are necessary to supply the
unprecedented demand for these world
famed remedies. No other medicines
ever attained anything like the popu-
larity which they enjoy. No other
medicines possess such superior and
positive curative properties as to war
rant their manufacturers in selling
them, as the proprietors of DR.. Pierce's
Medicines are doing, through druggists,
under positive guarantee of benefit
Or cure IN eDery case, on fair trial, or
money refunded.
There are scores of sarsaparillas and
other blood medicines advertised, but
the "Golden Medical Discovery" of DR..
Pierce is the only one ever backed up by
positive guarantee from well-known
and thoroughly responsible house. The
conditions are, that, given fair trial, it
will do all that is claimed for it, or
money paid for it will be promptly re-
funded. A Certificate of Guarantee
wraps every bottle.
TO attempt the sale of an inferior, or
even fairly good, blood-purifier under
such trying conditions as these, would
mean bankruptcy to its proprietors.

WHY THEY DID 1T.

Trying to "Hold" the Farmers of the West
and at the Same Time Please the Eastern
Manufacturers.
Now that the combined protests OF
Western tanners and of Eastern manu-,
facturers of boots and shoes have sue,
ceeded in forcing the Mckinley commit,
tee to remove hides from the dut'abla
list, it is interesting to recall Governoi
Gears explanation of the committees
action in deciding to put on duty. II
will be remembered that when the news
first leaked out, by way of California,
that duty was be to put on hides there
we're such vigorous protests from all
sides that the duty was again taken off.
Then followed change after change
now it was off and now it was on-till
nobody knew whether hides were to be
taxed or not.
Finally it was reported by Mr.. McKin-
ley himself, on the day that the bill was
finished, that hides were free. But the
same night the political weather
changed, and before the dawning of the
next morning, which was Sunday, hides
were again taxed.
A few days later New England man
ufacturer, who had been in Washington
to oppose the duty, passed through New
York on his way home. While in New
York he had talk with some of the
leather men and reported to them con-
versation he had had with Governor
Gear, of Iowa, who is prominent mem
Der of the Ways and Means Committee
at Washington.
Governor Gear gave him the reason
which influenced the committee in pac-
ing duty on hides. 1t was something
like this: "Do you see the condition of
the party in the West? We have lost
Iowa and Ohio; the farmers are discon-
tented and are leaving the party. We
must do something to hold the farmers"
There, then; it was simply piece of
politics. Something had to be done to
hold the farmer.
Some one asked Governor Gear day
or two later if he proposed to stick to
the hides duty. 10 doWn
