Why We're Going
To Do II.

Now we have the stuff Several thousand Suits left from last
Spring Few Of some kinds good many Of Others.
Our Spring Stock has been prepared without regard to
these goods and them of the way before the regular
Sprno demand begins.

Fine Drivers.

The demand for fine stock of all kinds
is growing better in Fort Worth all the
time, and there is no better evidences of
this fact than the numerous consignments
of thoroughbred horses, cattle, jacks and
hogs that are being received from time
to time. It is not only for breeding
stock that the demand has increased, but
for fancy driving and saddle animals
there has developed demand that speaks
well for the city. This demand Is caus-
ing breeders and trainers to look to Fort
Worth as one of their markets, and they
bring their stock here and people come
here to see it.
One of the most toppy strings
Of driving stock that mas ever
been seen IN Fort Worth is that
brought here yesterday by Alfred Berry
of Strong City, Kan, and which are
now at Young s. Kuben's stoekyards.
There is a carload of them, and they are
as fancy crowd of drivers as can be
found. They are all well fed, sound as
a dollar, of size and color to suit any
one. In age they range from five TO six
years, aud in color are beautiful gray,
with soTrels, deep brown, blood bay and
jet black. 1t is just such stock as this
that adds tone to any state, and THE
GAZETTE welcomes the goers to Texas.

RELIEVES IN THE FUTURE.

a Catueman Who Does Not Fear the Effect
of Territory Affairs.
Mr.. W. +. SommeTville Of the Matador
land and cattle company has just re-
turned from a trip to the company s.
pastures in the Panhandle and brings q
good account of the condition of things
there in general. Good rains, he says,
have visited that section and the grass is
now growing finely. The cattle, whisEI
have been in fair condition all winter
are now rapidly gaining in flesh and VIII
be fat aud ready for market earlier than
usual. The calf crop is reported as bets
Ter than it has been known to be in April
for years. The company is now engaged
in gathering about $500 head OF
steer cattle and spayed cows
which will be shipped from Giles and
Chjldress TO Kansas pastures about the
18th inst. -
When asked his opinion as TO the effect
of the order for all cattlemen 10 vRcate

by October ], Mr.. Sommerville thought
few moments and then said:
Il do not think the effect will be so
disastrous as some people profess to be-

II will have some bad effect temporarily.

1t is told OF sea captain who died mo-
long ago that be was formerly In command
Of ship in which passengers we're carried
from New York TO some OF the islands
On one occasion the ship caught FIRE, and
the passengers and crew were compelled
o take hurridly to the boats.
The captain renamed perfectly COO
throughout all the cofusion and fright
OF the embarkstion, and at last every one
except himself was got safely into the
boats.
BY the time be was ready TO follow the
passengers were almost wild with fear and
excitement. Instead Of hprrying down the
the ladder the captain called out to the
sailors to hold on minute. and taking a
cigar from his pocket cody lighted it with
bit OF burning sbroud which had fallen
from the rigging at bis feet. Then he de
scended with deliberstion, and gave the
order to push of.
How could you stop to ligbr cigar
at such q moment? be was asked after
wards, when some OF the passengers were
talking over their escape.
Because. be answered, / saw that il
did rot do something to divert the minds
OF those in the boat there was likely to be
a panic, and. overcrowded as it was, there
was danger of being upset. The act took

Ia India the favorite animals, both for
speed and for endurance. are the native
bullocks. Tue animals are small, wiry.
muscular aud swift. They are trained 10

OF racing their beasts and the sport is en-.
couraged by the English part OF The popu-
lation.
The animal Is guided by cord through
The nose but be driver places more reli.

The Indians nre natural gam blers, and
will bet their last rupee on the result OF

penniess native has been known TO wager
his liberty and that OF his family for an en-
tire year, and sell himself into voluntary
slavery as the result OF losing a bet. The
races are frequently attended by serious
accidents. from the fact that. although the
bnllocks may be trained to great swiftDess
1t seems almost impossible TO teach them
to run 10 straight line. They will bunch
together, and thus frequently smash one
or more OF the vehicles.
Exciting as fare the bullock races when
the beasts are harnessed and driven by ne
tive drivers, they are far more SO when
the bulocks are ridden by European sol.
diers or sailors. The chief danger in .
