FIRE SWEPT CITIES,
Forty Residences and TEaif the
Business Portion of what
Cheer, EOyya, Burned.
Fifty.six Buildings in the Busi-
ness Part of Walnut, Ills,
Also Consumed.

Dies MONIES, To-, Aug. 5.--Fire de-
stroyed one-half the business portion and
forty residences of What Cheer, Iowa.
The fire originated at w. B. Armstrong;
meat market, and is supposed to have
been the work of an incendiary. The
alarm was sounded after midnight, and
the flames were not under control until
3 o'clock. The fire department was
powerless because of the lack of water,
and nothing saved the entire north part
of the town except the change in the
wind. AT least
Forty Residences Were Burned.
The largest losers are j. M. Barnes, DR..
Haggin, j. Fl. Leathers, Ed. G.. Goet-
scher, F. w. Funk and j. H Robinson.
The Presbyterian church was also de-
stroyed. The total loss is estimated at

Much Live Stock Killed.

MASON CITY, Iowa, Aug. 5.-The wind
and hail storm which swept over Lyons,
Osceola, Dickinson, Emmet and Winnie
bago counties, destroyed nearly every
thing in its path. Many horses and
cattle were killed, and men who were
outside of their houses were badly cut
up by the hail, and several are reported
as seriously injured. Wheat and oats
were nearly all cut and in the shock and
were so badly damaged that they will
not be threshed. Several houses were
blown down, and it would take thous-
ands of dollars to cover the damage to
farmers alone.

Hon. j. Nj. Rusk, Commissioner of
Agriculture, in discussing the question
of taxation says: 1T seems to me
that our system of taxation demands
improvement in certain directions.
The cost of supporting the govern
ment needs to be most equitably
adjusted among different classes of
our people. At present in many
states, the burden of local taxation
presses heavily upon farm property,
its v"ty nature rendering it easily
asSessahln. Every corporation created
hy ,:lt state, and to whom special
priV.it,e.' are granted either by state,
cnun,", or incorporated village or city,
s!,o;,id ,e taxed in proportion to it's
earnings, and in all ways the principle
nf ;tNttion should be to place the
hHrti,n Of maintaining the govern
ment, whether state, municipal OF
national, upon the luxuries and COM
forts which the wealthy enjoy, and
to reduce it to a minimum in it's appli-
cation to the hardly.earned property of
the poor man."

AUSTIN WITH OTHERS,

Working in the Eastern Money Centers for
More Money and People.
The following suggestive interview
appeared in the Galveston News last
week.
II have just got back from trip to
the east, and l brought back some new
ideas with me, too" said Strand
man yesterday. "The funny thing
about it is that I did not get these
new ideas from eastern men but from
home folks-Texans. The other day
I went to Boston and l found there a
representative OF Fort Worth, an
other from Dallas and another of San
Antonio and Austin. These represen-
tatives are live, energetic and represen-
alive men from the cities they are
working for. They have opened regu-
lar offices, have fitted them up and are
we'll supplied with maps, statistics and
every thing else. They do nothing
but talk up the cities they represent.
They talk eat and sleep, Dallas, Fort
Worth, Austin and San Antonio.
They come in contact with
the best people in Boston,
know all the capitalists, make
themselves agreeable and keep their
cities constantly before the public.
The result is that the people of Bos-
ton are almost convinced that there
are but four cities in Texas that
amount to anything, and when they
want to invest any money they are
going to put it in one of them. 1t
made me feel ashamed to think that
Galveston, with greater present adj
vantages and a grander future than
any city in the state, should be doing
so little to induce live business men
and capitalists to come here. One
good live man in Boston and another
in New York to work for Galveston, as
the Texas gentlemen located in Bos
ton are working for their cities, would
do an immense amount of good.
understand that a commercial club j:
to be organized here soon and hope
that the first work it does will be tc
remedy the defect speak of. 1

and progressive rivals she must be live

HAS AUSTIN AN ESTABLISHED
STREET GRADE?

The city council Monday night paid
passing attention to the subject Of
the grades OF our streets. AS at pres
ent understood this is very misunder-
stood matter. 1t was admitted by an
alderman on the floor of the council
chamber that the grade OF the streets
seemed to be something with which
the council had nothing to do. He
himself saw hills cut down, hollows
filled up and gangs of men working
here, there and yonder on the streets,
but according to what system or plan
they were working he was utterly
ignorant, as also were the council, for
they never were consulted in the
premises. Now, if there is one thing
in city, about which there should not
be a shadow of doubt, it is
the proper and legal grade
of its streets. In this matter there
should be no guessing, no hap hazard
work. Austin is far from level city,
and the question OF the grade OF her
streets is one of difficulty and import
ance. There have been typographical
surveys made of the city, but these
had hot shot poured into them by
aldermen last Monday night. The
point, however, is this, if we now have
satisfactory grade let it be made
public and stuck to; if it is not salts
factory the sooner it is revised the
better. For Austin is to grow, and
she is to grow along assured lines.
She must have permanent streets and
sidewalks, and the grades of these
must be definitely and finally estab-
lished.

THE "Texas Iron News" saws {:

"Texas buys $SO,OOo,OOO worth Of
merchandise annually from New York
and $30,000,000 worth from ST.
Louis"
What is all that merchandise? Is
it not for the most part manufactured
goods, the raw product for which is
found all around us here in Texas?
Is the state not thus sending out
millions upon millions of dollars she
should keep here at home? tits manu-.
factories, manufactures we want. And
that the state is beginning to feel this
is evidenced by the manufacturers
convention called to meet in Fort
Worth the latter part OF this month.
That convention is all important to
us. In its wise and progressive action
lies couched infinite advantage for the
state. Has Austin chosen her delega'
ton to that convention?

able congratulatory powers. Its lat
est felicitation is this: "The Express
is glad to learn that enough crickets
fall dead in Austin every night to
fertilize an acre OF ground. Congress
avenue, of that city, is one the finest
farming properties in Texas" Con-
gress avenue is indeed most produc-
tive, as witness, Austin's beautiful
women, her gifted statesmen, her tai
ented lawyers, her successful business
men, her spirit of boom and enter
prise. In fact, Congress avenue is
fertile enough to grow anything ex-
cept the crop indigenous to San
Antonio's street skeletons. The Ex-
press is advised to reconvert such
CHASTITY finds into good fertilizers and
try the same on other OF her streets.
