The sporting editor of THE GAZETTE
has information that on or about Novem-

It is thought by gentlemen who used to
think they knew something about Fort
Worth g population, that the reason the
census returns for this city are so low is
that the rolls of one or more enumerators
were thrown out entirely by the Wash
ington authorities. That Is the only
plausible manner in which the discrep-
ancY can be accounted for.
The bulletin containing the general or
ders of the railway mail service for the
Eleventh division, issued by supe. inten-
dent Weaver from his headquarters at

tains a long lis of reductions, removals

pensions recorded, each tor from one to
ten days, for various offences.
THE GAZETTE cannot print church no
tices unless the copy ia furnished. To
read the church notices In THE GAZETTE
ana in papers in other cities one would
think Fort Worth 'short' on religion.
Galveston prints twenty, Dallas thirty
one, Hot Springs thirteen, and Fort
Worth five or six. The stranger at the
Fort Worth hotel reads the paper to see
where his particular church is, but the
Fort Worthechurches are too good to ad-
vertise in Sunday paper for the benefit
of strangers.

the bride and groom departed for New

Takers are abroad in the land. Yes
terday Officer Dick Kits had chase
after couple of chaps who are working
new dodge, to-wit, the knife fake.
They have two knives, one of
which can be opened, the
other cannot. They will make a
bet Nth their proposed victim that he
can not open the first one. When the
money Is put up they clsverly substitute
the other piece of cutlery, aud the victim
loses five times the value OF his wager In
finger nails trying to vindicate his judg-
ment. Yee aFday one of them snatehed
