coming up. Several of our iron bridges
are in dangerous condition. not being
over three feet above the water, while
the wooden approaches to these bridges
are badly damaged and floating. The
Sabine Valley railroad has abandoned
trains, their track being four feet under
water at Alligator slough, nine miles

Porter of Fairfield, a well known and
prominent Methodist minister, was found

at Calvert last Monday.
BELpEN, TEX, April 12.-There have
been such heavy rains farmers are be-
hind with their work. They have toler-
able good stands of corn. Planting cot

others look like mid winter.

And Claim That the Death KnelI of Rail-
road Strikes Has Sounded.
There was held ct Elmira, n. Y, re-
Gently meeting of railroad men at
which there were about 800 delegates &,
including engineers, firemen, brakemen
switchmen and members OF the new or
der of railroad conductors. A scheme
was adopted for the federation of all the
trainmen organizations in the United
States.
Grand Master Sargent of the fiIemen 5
brotherhood, Grand Conductor Howard
of the conductors Grand Master Will
kinson of the brakemen s brotherhood
the Well-known "Shandy' Mcclure and
other prominent railroad men made
speeches. They all declared that the
federation would be in the interest of
harmony and that the death note OF
strikes on railroads had been sounded
The object, in short, was the federation
under one head of all the different
bodies, but each to retain its own organ
ization. The meetings are considered to
have been of great Importance. Special
trains were run from New York, Buffalo
and other places.

THE car OF Russia has ordered the
universities at Moscow and other places
closed because conspirators against his
throne have been found among the
students. Schools are cradles of liberty,
and their suppression by a monarch is g
confession that he is both tyrant and
an oppressor. He who rules his people
wisely and kindly has nothing to fear
from student conspiracies.

American Railways.

1t is not generally known that the
United States possesses nearly one-half
of the total railway mileage Of the world 8,
and when it is considered that four-fi
Of the present gigantic system of rail-
ways has been constructed since the
close of the war this fact is the more
significant. The United States has out
stripped other nations IN many things,
but more than all in the matter of its
railways, which have become the great
est of all other enterprises or industries
and its magnitude greater than any other
interest in the world.

SENATOR INGALLS, of Kansas has intro
duced bill giving a pension of Sl2 per
month during widowhood TO any
woman who will marry a crippled
soldier of the late war. It is safe to say
that if this bill becomes a law there will
be a startling increase of deaths among
the one-armed ana one-legged, and the
no-armed and no-legged pensioners OF
the government. The woman who would
marry legless or armless man for the
purpose of securing the benefits of such
law, would not soruple to make an
early exchange of her bridal raiment for
a mourning toilet, even if in doing so
she had to enact the role of Luoretia
Borgia.

NEGROES TRIUMPHANT.

Not Satisfied with a Separate School Building
and All Advantages, They Wanted to Mix.
Special to the Gazette.
OLATHE, KAN, April 1.-THE man
damus case of the colored people
against the board of education to compel
the admittance of the colored children to
the white schools was decided this morn
ing in favor of the negroes. The negro
children were assigned to u separate
building of their own and had the best
of advantages, but were not satisfied
until they could mix with the whites.
This case has been in court for some
time. The negroes are triumphant over
their victory. The white citizens are, as
a rule, very much dissatisfied with the
decision and more trouble is anticipated.

clusion:
Any scheme TO bolish the home is deserving
Of the severest execration. Go home for your

and If the dinner is not as good as those you get
at the hotel or restaurant. Go home to supper
and stay with your family until breakfast is an

tion for the support of our government that the

work upon this line and they viii meet with
better success. Never abolish the home.

promise of his votes in the legislature.

Mr.. CLEVELAND s way may not suit his
political opponents, but none VIII deny
il is the way direct. Not long since the
Democratic students OF the Ohio
state university met and nominated Mr..
Cleveland for president, and in the
exuberance of enthusiasm and self i'm
portance notified him of the honor. His
reply was pointed and pregnant, con-
tanning the following:

questions and topics which press upon the
minds of our people, the solution and treat
ment Of which are of vastly greater Importance

THE following question has been sub
mitted to The GAZETTE:
Does the sun mark or shadow appear in the
same place at al times OF the year; or, in other
words is the sun in the south at u o. clock
meridian at all times? If it varies. how much?
The iourneying Of the sun southwark, ,
beginning when 1t crosses the veTnal
equinox about the 2lst Of March, has no
bearing upon the fact that at noon the
sun s rays are vertical. Hence, a sun
dial unfailingly shows high noon by q
vertical shadow on its face. The rela-
tive position of the earth and sun are in
consequential.

Salina, Kan, received in this city
asserts that Mrs. Laura NJ. Jones, presi-
dent of the Kansas state woman suffrage

that women are getting tired of voting

reverse, that women are steadily gaining
influence in nominations and elections

FISH CULTURE.

While most of the streams and lakes OF
Wyoming had a natural supply of trout
and other food fish, there were others
entirely devoid of fish of any description,
and the success attending the stocking OF
streams containing native fish as well as
the barren waters of the state has been
very gratifying. Under the fostering care
of the legislature the fish hatchery at Lar
annie has been enabled to accomplish the
most satisfactory results. The state is
under obligation to the United States fish
commission tor frequent donation of valu-
able varieties of fish. Over a half million
fish have been annually distributed In the
streams Of Wyoming for a number of
years, and many streams that were barren
have been stocked and found well adapted
to the raising Of trout and other superior
fish. Trout planted in 1885 have been
caught the present year that weighed
from three to four pounds, and measuring
twenty inches in length.
A branch hatchery is soon to be estab-
lished at Sundance, Crook county.
