who have made arrangements to visit
Fort Worth dealing IN realty will be
general.

sured fact. The meeting Tonight ut the
chamber of commerce is to close up the
matter, and everyone " no has su bscribed
is urged to be present, as vel! as every
citizen who ls interested in this important
matter. The meeting Tonight should be

tant than securing a fine hotel, and
every man in Fort Worth Is interested.
Let all be out. Crowd the chamber of
commerce. The committee will continue

AS A measure Of prudence, disarming
the Indians has been recommended.
This reminds one of certain Scotch lord
who received the surname of "Bell-the-
Oit,' because when somewhat Sim
liar measure of safety from Highland iu-
vasiou was proposed be gravely asked
nWho would bell the cat?" Just how
clear but a good beginning would be to
disarn Indian traders. This class of
white men with whisky and arms for sale
have been good sized cause in many of
the troubles on the border.

evening, Jan. 49, This is comparatively
short adjournment, the usual time being at
least ten days. However it is pretty certain
that the heads of both houses have already
scheduled their committees, and there is
little else to do. As at present slated the
officers Of the house win be: Speaker, James
w. Husted clerk, c. A. Chickering; ser.
geant-at-arms, J. w. Manville; doorkeeper,
H. w Webb; stenographer, William Loeb
