OFFICE OF THE GAZETTE,
FORT WORTH, TEX, April %, 1890.

PORT WORTH, TEX. April %, 1880.
This has been gloomy day business way,
an almost continuous rain keeping people, only
those who were compelled to be out, indoors
Trade in retail way was confined almost exclu-
sively to "order takers'' and telephone. J"
Very few people were in from the surrounding
country to-day, and none from a section that
would necessitate their crossing a water course
being fearful of high water. To put it as an
old farmer did to-day, this is a good day to
stay at home and mend gear, and sharpen plows,
up"
The general supply markets, produce, etc.,
so while there is no scarcity there is nothing to
indicate over supply. Prices are unchanged.

GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, April Is. The stock market again
sst&ved moderate volume of business with a
1 e IDLY advancing level of prices to-day, and
sFnile there was considerable irregularity in the
movement. almost everything on the active list
is higher tonight. Important movements were
limited TO few of the leading stocks. and for
change the inactive list developed no
important upward movement. Bears
were inclined to leave the market
again at the opening, but the trading OF the
room was fairly bullish, and continuance of
buying orders for outside operators held the
market steady under slight concession in
prices during the first few minutes trading,
buying then began in earnest, and from that
time until the close the steady, hardening OF
values which has become the most
pronounced characteristic of the market,
continued without a break. Atchison
and Texas Pacific. with a few other
low priced shares, show signs of joining in the
upward movement to-day, but their final
changes were, as a rule, unimportant. There
was no new developments to affect values. but
the same influences remained IN force
and the most encouraging sign OF
an aroused feeling, that = general
Improvement is being begun is number OF out
side orders to buy now being received by
brokers.
Railroad bonds were not active to-day. but
still showed large volume OF business.
Government and state bonds, duh and steady.

OF 1889 was King Corn's crown as the
nucleus OF a sunburst, while below waS
the national flag ia graceful folds--all
wrought in vari-colored corn as true and
as beautiful as IL painted by an artists
brush. The roof Is Oycrlaid with corn
leaves. Pinnacles and columns are
capped with the sorghum plant, or with
grains and grasses. The irridesccni
walls, seen from near distance, seem
10 be rich mosaic OF polished woods,
while with the
banners, yellow, glorious, golden"
that
''From its roof-trce float and fiow,"
the palace enraptures the beholder as
one who looks upon a clOud-painted
mansion that may dissolve before his
eyes.
The interior work Is finer and more
elaborate. Here the kernel of the corn
is largely employed, producing amazing
and lovely effects. On the walls are
wrought pictures, illustrating farm
scenes, legendary and nursery tales,
etc, with a fidelity that is calculated TO
raise a doubt that the material employed
is the homely utilitarian growth OF west
crn farms. Frescocs and flowers, figures
OF persons and animals, draperies and
thousands of surprising and beautiful
things are made OF field plants for the
delight of the visitors 10 the palace,
whose astonishment is succeeded by adj
miration OF the genius that conceived
and developed so much OF art and beauty
from such homely fabrics as are
employed.

What Is a Corn Palace?

The Sioux City Corn Palace-and
there was never Corn Palace outside OF
Sioux City-is palace covered and en-
bellished, as with tapestry, outside and
inside, with products of the field, corn
predomnating, ingenously and fanci-
fully arranged. In building the palace
large structure is first erected of lum-
Der, In a shape that will carry and show
TO advantage the multiform decorations
with which il is 10 be adorned 1t Is in
form lofty, with broken lines, pinnacles,
buttresses, bridges, gables, ornamental
windows, etc.
over every inch Of this wooden surface
are laid corn and kindred plants in ar
chitectural harmony, in multi
plicity of designs. The corn is
employed in the stalk, the ear,
the kernel, and even the husk
has its decorative uses. All the grains
and grasses of the field lend themselves
to the identifying of the palace. The
walls are covered on the outside with
ears of corn, cut lengthwise or cross
wise, and nailed on in geometrical figures
or other designs. The various colors of
the cereal permit OF wide range of
shading and coloring, while its artistic
possibilities, developed from year TO year
I'm building the palace, admit of the pro-
duction of effects that are as startling
as peasurable.

BILDAD'S BUDGET.


Items Cleaned in Jim's Neck of Woods.
Corn is nearly up now. 1t will soon
be in heaven. Money is so scarce you
can sell ffty-cent piece for seventy
five cents.
We are all well, except Hank Muir
ply, Bill Sykes, Jim Gardner, and
Mrs. Gad's sisters wifes second cou-
sin by marriage, who has gone into
relapse.
Tony Peck had a party at his house
last week. and everybody said the
corn bread and raw sausages was ex-
cellent.
B. l.. Hawkshorn's barn burned
down last night. 1t is rumored that
Mr.. HIS mule kicked at him, missed
him, struck O nail and finally set the
barn on fire.
Zeb Jenkins shot at rabbit yester-
day and accidentally killed Mr. Goodin.
Phil Sheridan was there and lowed
there warent no rabbit there when
Zeb shot. Zeb said he didn't know
Phil was there or he wouldn't have
shot, Altogether, it is rather a COM
plicated case.
Benz Harrison arrived here on the
9 30 freight. He went to the hotel
and chopped wood for his dinner He
said he played draw poker with the
train crew for penny ante and some
how another they busted him. Ben is
q nice fellow.
Gen. Bilkson II. Tinkerdale was
here last night again. BY the way, 1
amt afraid TO bet "a it's the last time
he comes here, for L saw Zeb Jenkins
laying for him with the old shotgun.
If there is funeral I'll let you know.

sidered one of the finest musical organi-
cations in America. The repertoire of
the band consists OF 5000 pieces

Zation is made up of seventy skilled mu-
sicians. and in itself is a grand card for

notice. The ira IS paradcs consist of
novel floats representing the various in
duStrieS OF the city and the great north
west. These pa.ades occus in the morn
ing shortly before the noon hour,
and pass oyer the principal streets
of the city. On days not devoted TO
trades parades. there will be the cele-
brated King Korn carnival pageant,
something unique and never before wit
messed i'm the northwest. The dazzling
and novel pageants will be designed by
the French artist, Francois Dubois, who
has been brought over by the Mardi
Gras authorities TO design and equip
next years carnival at New Orleans.
1t will be impossible at this time To say
just what this parade will be, and, in
deed. in great measure the matter will
be kept secret, but the assurance is
given that no such parade and no such
magnificent costumes and equipments
have ever been seen north of
New Orleans, as will be witnessed dur
u Do n
hundred costumed horses and plumed
knights, with glittcring chariots and
floats will take part in these pageants,
and give amusement TO the thousands
who crowd the streets. Every railroad
centering at Sioux City, as well as all
tributary lines have made a rate of one
fare for the round trip, and it is safe To
predict Sioux City will, between the
dates of Sept. 25 and Oct II, have the
largest gathering of people ever as
sembled in any Iowa city.

The management OF the Sioux City,
Ia, Corn Palace, which opens Sept. %
and closes Oct. IL, has determined TO
make this years carnival the grandcst
of them all To this end the fourth an
nual Corn Palace festival will in every
respect represent the resources of the
great northwest. The building itself Is
stately structure, covering an acre or
more of ground in the very heart of
Sioux City. Exhibits from a dozen or
more different states are now being
placed in position. There will be many
county displays from South Dakota,
Minnesota, Nebraska and Iowa.
One of the features Of Corn Palace is
the novelty of its interior and exterior
decoration. The entire outside is orna-
mented with the various Species and col
ors of corn, while the. interior is trimmed
and beautiiied by the nimbe fingers of
300 ladies. A description of its beauty
would be next TO an impossibility. The
Palace this year will be Illuminated day
and night by thousands of incandescent
lights and arc lamps. Upon entering the
Palace one feels as il in fairy land, the
ceiling being studded with incandescent
lights, twlnkling from back ground of a
soft blue hue. To the extreme end
fartherest from the entrance is forty
foot water fall. carrying with it all the
effects produced by numerous lights of
various colorS.
