Kilgore of Texas.

Representative G. B Kilgore of Texas
says the New York Tribune, made rep
utation for himself in the FiftIeth con-
gress as an objector. And not few
members had their little private bills
knocked out by an objection from the
Texas congressman, who was dubbed the
Watchdog of the Treasury. Speaker
Reed said at the time that Kilgore beat
Holman two to one, and that beat the
devil.
There is a story about an objection that
WASH It made by KilgOre in the last con-
gress that has never been told in print.
In the course of the short session of the
last congress Representative James E.
Campbell of Ohio, now governor, went
to Kngore one afternoon and said:
'Look here, Kilgore, have a favor
to ask. have bill to secure an en-
largemint of the custom house at Gin
cinnati. 1t is q meritorious measure,
and the business transacted makes it
necessary to increase the size of the
building. l am going to ask unanimous
consent to call the bill up, and l don t
want you to object. 1 know that if you
examine the bill you will find nothing in
it to object to. You let this bill pass,
and when l am nominated for governor
next fall will carry Hamilton county on
the strength of the bill and thereby Sc
cure my election. And 1 promise you
now that after I am inaugurated gov
ernor, when any ofyou Texans come to
Ohio aQd get into -the penitentiary IN
pardon YOU out at once. -
Kllgore said the temptation to object
was very strong, but when he thought of
the immunity held out to him by Camp
bell he couldn t resist, and the bill went
through with flying oolors.

TRINITY COUNTY AWAKE.

Trinity Waterman: Quite number of
ladies and gentlemen assembled at the
Methodist church Wednesday night for
the purpose of organizing and taking
steps for securing an exhibit for the Pal
ace. On motion Rev. A. J Frick was
called to the chair, and William Bennett
elected secretary. Capt. Dawson made
an interesting and instructive talk, in
which he set forth the object of the
meeting, and portrayed in glowing Ian
guage the benefits to be derived from q
good exhibit at the Palaces; eX-
horted all to enter into the spirit of
the movement, and see that it was
carried to a successful termination.
Rev. Mr.. Frick stated that he thought it
was not only a financial but q religious
duty that the people owed themselves in
setting forth the products and advan-
tages of our county, and Furthermore
stated that he wouldendeavOr in all pos
sibIe manner to further the objects of
the organization.
On motion the chairman appointed a
committee OF six, consisting of three
ladies and three gentlemen, to solicit
contributions to defray the expense of
securing material for an exhibit. The
following named ladies and gentlemen
were appointed:
Mrs. G. L. Rowan, Mrs. S. e. Barnes,
Miss Carrie Cassiday, Messrs. W. II.
Many, F. E. Lister and Charles Ham
mond.
The meeting then adjourned to re-
assemble at the call of the chairman.
1t will be advisable TO have the exhibits
ready for shipment by the 18th, or not
later than the goth of next month, and
our live business men and citizens should
see that no time is lost in preparing the
same. The committee will wait upon
our people at their earliest convenience,
and we predict that they will meet with
the success the enterprise deserves. A
long pull, strong pull aud pull all
together Will accomplish wonderful re-
suits for Trinity county.

IT COST FoRr WORTH $50, 900.

Shelby Press: Some of the papers in
the state think they ought to get pay for
putting the Spring Palace. Why they
should entertain such an idea we cannot
tell. The Spring Palace is a great ad
vertising medium for the entire state,
and will not be of any more benefit to
Fort Worth than to other places that
make display of their productions,
iron, coal, etc. It is evident, though,
that those places towns and counties that
do not make an exhibit at the Spring
Palace will not derive any benefit
therefrom, neither should they. 1t is
the duty of every paper in the state to
say all it can concerning an enterprise
that will induce the different counties to
advertise themselves at Fort Worth dur
ing the Spring Palace. Yes, advertise
themselves; this is just what it will do if
they send up an exhibit, so it is clearly
seen that no pay for ''pnfing" the
Spring Palace ought to be exacted, but
on the other hand the organizers of the
Spring Palace should be rewarded even
more than they will be, for devising such
q plan to advertise the Lone Star State.

Vernon Suffers from Fire.
Special to the Gazette.
VERNON, TEX, April 5.-About II
O'Clock tonight fire broke out in the
south end of W. W. Burdett's jewelry
store on the southeast corner of the
square. Everything was consumed.
The stock is estimated at $500. At the
present only Sl4OO insurance is known.
The safe lays in the ruins open.
J. H. Strider's confectionery, valued
at 5000, was on fire, and by heroic effort,
it was torn down, thus saving Wheeler
s. Glidden's butcher shop and the brick
block on the west of it.
The courthouse was in imminent danger
of being set on fire; it was only by the
risk of lives and bodily injury of brave
men that what might have been de-
structiye fire to Vernon was arrested.
Incendiary is the cause, and if the par
ties are caught tonight no jury will
ever set in any OF their trials.

She Will Have WaterwOrks in the Next Sixty
Days and Electric Lights Soon.
Correspondence Of the Gazette.
DENTON, TEX, April 5.-Denton will
have electric lights within the next sixty
days. This is an assured thing. At the
last meeting of the citizens called to-
gether by ex-Mayor Smith it was the
sentiment Of the large taxpayers present
that the city council be instructed to
contract for waterworks at once. AS
soon as this is done then the question of
electric lights will come up, and
it is the sentiment of nearly every
citizen to have a plant, and as soon
as it can possibly be put in. And it is
the opinion of nearly every business, man
that in less than six months the city will
have both electric lights and waterworks.
A proposition has been made by lead
ing newspaper man here to build street
railway from the passenger depot up
into the city, if certain number of lots
he had on the market for sale would be
bought from him. All but very small
number of these lots have been pur-
chased. A change seems 10 have
come over the people. The word
''push'' seems to be upon the minds OF
all the inhabitants, and if the enthusi-
asm is kept up, if only for short while,
the improvements of the city will in
crease the value of properly % per cent.
Throughout the city new residences are
going up and contracts are being let for
more, and still there are no vacant
houses for rent in the city. Within the
last six months seven new business houses
have opened up, and they are of that

no doubt but that Denton will, within
the next six months, make progress
faster than any city OF her size in Texas.

The fearful-destruction occasioned and
