A CALL
Developing the Manufacturing and Mer-
camille Interests of the State.

FORT WORTH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
SECRETARY's OFFICE.
FORT WORTH, Tex, Aug. p, 1890.
A convention of delegates from trade
and manufacturing organizations, muuio-
qualities and people interested in devel-
oping the manufacturing and mercantile
interests of Texas has been called to
meet in Fort Worth on September "a 3,
1890, for the purpose of devising ways
and means to induce capital to seek our
state and accomplish this object.
The advantage to accrue to the people
of Texas by having our raw material,
found in endless quantity In this state,
manufactured into merchantable COM
modities must be patent to every mind
that has given the subject careful con-
sideration. Manufacturers are disposed
TO come TO our state, capitalists are ia
vorably disposed, but there has been no
united action to place before them the
facts about our resources and the vast
field open TO them and wholesale mer-
chants This convention Is called to
meet the demand made upon the state.
1t is proposed to have Eastern and
Northern manufacturers and capitalists
present at our deliberations. Governor
Ross has expressed willingness to CO.
operate in the matter.
To this end you are cordially invited
and requested to send one or more dele
gates from your organization, munich
pality or county to this convention.
Efforts will be made to arrange with the
railway companies for reduced rates to
delegates and others who attend. AS
the time is short we respectfully urge
immediate action and request that you
send to the secretary of the Fort Worth
chamber of commerce the names of
those selected to represent you IN the
convention.

WOMEN At THE POLLS.

Tne politicians of North Dakota in their
greateagerness TO get their blizzard-swspt
territory into the Union, botched their
constitution In one particular at least.
The article relating to woman suffrage is
already in the courts demanding inter-
due to the over-fastidiousness of the
women of that hyperboreau common
wealth, who fanoied that special pro-
vision should be made at the coming fall
election for their convenience. Through
an intermeddling woman suffragist as
ISOLATION, q demand on the authorities
was formulated asking that separate
polling places be set apart for the
women. The reason assigned for the de-
mand was that the women should not be
subjected to the humiliation and discom-
fort of reaching the polls through iost-
ling crowds of i'll hammered, profane and
foul mouthed men.
The application was taken under con-
sideration by the county commissioner
of Grand Forks. The result of 1t is that
the states attorney, John NJ. Cochrsne,
has filed an opinion recommending not
only that the demand for separate polling
places be denied, but that the privilege
Of voting at all at a general election be
refused to women, until the courts shall
have determined the extent Of the tram
chise granted them by the constitution
There is a question whether the franchise
is general and absolute, or limited to
school elections.
In the meantime the women, eager to

RATM',S GILL

Raum s guilt has been proven con-
clusively. The charges made against
him have been established. He admitted
on the witness stand that he made the
completed files order as he had been
urged to do by pension shark Lemon
He admitted, as did Lemon also, that
on the day following the new order
Lemon Endorsed his note for SI2 900
there was any connection between these
two important happenings, or that one
was consideration for the other. The
public will draw its own conclusions, re-
gardless of what Raum or Lemon may
say about the deal. Would Lemon in
dorse Raum IS note for S12 ZOO if the lat
The query answers itself. Again +,
Raum admitted that he is pushing tina
stock of the universal refrigerator,
known by others, If not by him, to be a
naked fraud and swindle. Accused of
coercing employees of his Office into pur-
chasing stock in the concern, he thinks
his simple denial ought to suffice, and
refuses to produce his stockbook, which
would settle the dispute in moment.
This refusal of his IL supported by the
majority of the committee. This is eI-
tremely suspicious, as no honest man
having the written proofs of his inno-
cence in his own possession, will hesi-
tate to show them when his character is
attacked. The committee, by q major
ity vote, decided not only to protect
Raum in declining to furnish the proofs
of his honesty, but to exclude the proofs
offered by Cooper showing that the re-
frigerator is a known and notorious swim
die. From this brief statement of the
case, it must appear to every one who
reads it, that the investigation as well as
Raum g refrigerator is grand swindle
oil around. Instead of inquiring into the
charges made against the commissioner,
the Republican majority of the commit
tee are doing all they can to prevent,
and il every possible way obstruct in
vestigation. But the facts have all been
brought out in spite of them, and the
public is in possession of information
enough to justify verdict of guilty.

THE WOUNDED TRAMP.
Found by Some Boys Ont Nutting-Fully
Identified by the Woman Who
Shot Him.

Special to the Gazette.
MARSHALL, Mo-, Sept. 4.-To-day as
some boys were nutting in the woods
near this city they came upon man
lying at the foot of tree who was very
badly wounded. He was suffering in
tensely and asked that help be brought
him from town as he was afraid he would
die. He was carried to the city and an
examination proved that he had been
shot twice, one ball passing entirely
through the right side and the other GO
ing through his left shoulder. The
physicians say that the wounds are dan
gerous and that he will probably die.
Mrs. Williams was taken to the room
where the man lay and fully identified
him as the tramp whom she shot yester-
day at her home for attempting to force
her to cook dinner for him. Tramps
have been very bold IN this neighborhood
all summer and the lady receives much
praise for the action on defending her

SICK WHEAT.
l. is the Seed and Not the Land that Is at
Fault.

It is the Seed and Not the Land that is at
Fault.
Editor Gazette.
Through your courtesy 1 will offer q
few suggestions to the farmers in this
part of Texas, which if needed 1 think
will be of great benefit to them just now
1t is said by some that our lands are
wbeat-sick and they will not sow because
they do not reap twenty five to fifty
bushels per acre as they did of yore.
This 1 think ia a mistake, as may be
proved, and has many times been proved
by planting on fresh land with but little
If any better results than is produced on
old land.
Then what is the NATTER
We answer the wheat is sick and not
the land, which has and may be proved
by importing good seed from the North
or East. This we think is the best reason
why all new kinds of seed introduced so
far excel the older kinds for time and
then again fall in par with all the rest.
AS for instance in 1s66-the large white
May wheat-a smooth head variety was
introduced which exceled any and every
other for time.
l0Gu VIC udu lu6 Ileu sea wheat, Inc
Mediterranean and many other varieties
introduced one after another, and each
in turn was the champion for time,
but, like all its predecessors, went down
IN few years to level with all the
rest.
Now, for the above reasons, and many
more that might be adduced, we think
that 1t is the wheat and not the land that
is sick.
This, have found, is eminently true,
not only of wheat, but of all other
grains, vegetables and grasses grown IN
this country. Every experienced gar
dener knows full well it is folly to plant
beans or potatoes that have been repro
duced here for more than the third year.
Then we would say, as a rule with
thirty lone years. experience in Tarrant
county,, get fresh, imported seed every
three or four years. and il you will get
at it at once, now while we have this fine
season in the ground, you will realize
twelve months from to-day that the IN
scots we had last spring were indeed a
blessing in disguise.
People as rule will never buy seed as
long as they have bushel of their own
raising. Again, if you will SOW early the
use of the pasture during the winter will
doubly pay for the seed.
In conclusion 1 would say that Just
the reverse of the above rule holds good
in this country in the production of fruit.
The longer trees and vines, of each va
riety, have been propagated in this coun-
try the better they will stand the climate
and the better they will produce. Don't
forget this. D. w. SMITH.
Smithfield, Tex. Sept. 10, 1890.
P. S.-We think the good crops of
wheat produced for the last three seasons
in the Panhandle are far more the result
of fresh seed than of anything extra in
the seasons, land or climate.
