patches from several points in the In
dian territory are to the effect that this
has been very quiet Sunday in the
Cherokee strip, the troops finding
but few settlers to eject from the
country. 1t appears, from the reports
of the commanding officers in the strip
and from reliable newspaper men, that
the situation there has been somewhat
exaggerated by the correspondents who
were early in the field. and the inhabit-
ants of the border towns would be-
benefited by rush of settlers into the
strip. The most reliable reports now
are to the effect that great many of the
boomers were citizens of these very
towns and were town lot boomers rather
than bona fide settlers. Boomer" or.
ganizations are being formed among
those who are waiting along the border
for the official opening OF the strip.
These are mostly town lot boomers,
who step into the strip when they can

THE MARBLE FALLS EXCURSION,
A Delightful Trip Enjoyed by the Horticul
tural Society,

The American Horticulturists. as
guests of the officers of the Austin
and Northwestern railroad yesterday,
enjoyed most delightful excursion to
Burnet and Marble Falls, and on their
return last evening they were loud in
praise of what the saw and of
the Inequalities and courtesies shown
them by that most excellent gentle
man, Supt. Leitnaker, and the citizens
of Marble Falls. An intelligent men,
Der of the society said: "Aside from
the scenic beauty of these falls their
economic value as an agent of manu-
facture, if properly developed, will en-
title them to rank with the first water
power privileges in our country. 1t
is only a question of time when their
latent energies will be called forth to
propel machinery. About this natural
manufacturing center business and
thriving city must spring up in the
near future"
While at Marble Falls the society
visited Granite mountain, a mass OF
pure granite, from which the material
for the new Capitol building came.
The trip was greatly enjoyed by all
and as token of their appreciation
of the efforts OF Supt.
Leitnaker, the indefatigable Chairman
of the Transportation Committee, a
member stated: eve are profoundly
grateful to Supt. Leitnaker and the
Railroad Company, and trust that the
labor and spirit manifested by his
Company may entitle them to the first
place in the hearts Of the people
whom they serve"
The Society also spoke in admira-
ton of the people of Marble Falls for
the bountiful entertainment rendered
them which will be a lively and pleas
ant remembrance of their trip to the
Lone Star State.

ladies of the First Presbyterian
Church. The dishes were new to the
guests but they appeared to enjoy
them and the event will be one of the
pleasant memories of their visit to
the Lone Star State and for long
time to come they will remember
their generous host.
The ladies OF the Church will have
a dinner again today and tomorrow.

essaries of life he does not raise in the
dearest. This condition of things
will continue till the agricultural pop
ulation realize the real cause of their
distress and then we will have rapid
change for the better. The Farmers
Alliance and similar organizations have
done much to educate the people and
there yet remains a wide fell for their
labor.
TOO MUCH LAND.
Farms are too large as rule. o
hundred acres is enough for any
farm. This amount of land, well cul-
tivated, wi produce more and better
crops than 200 acres half cultivated.
With this land the farmer, with one
hired man, can do all the work, ex-
cept in harvest, when he will need an
extra man. He would find time to
cut brush along the fences and clean
out fence corners, blast and draw off
large stones that he has worked over
for twenty years or more, pull the
stumps and get them out of the way
OF the pillow and moving machine, dig
bitches, repair the fences so as to keep
his cattle on his own land and pre-
vent lawsuit with his neighbor. He
should find time to repair and paint
his house and barn and have a we'll
kept lawn in front of his house, plenty
OF lawn and shade trees and every
thing to make home pleasant. In
winter he could oil the harness and
cut wood enough to last year. Dry
wood will please the women and din
ner will be ready when it is noon
every time. He can also repair his
farming tools so they will be ready for
use in the spring.-Green's Fruit

Mr.. HERBERT Welsh, the well-known
secretary Of the Indian Rights association,
and = Republican, is very enthusiastic In
praise of the administration Of Indian
affairs under President Cleveland. In an
interview In the New York Star he gives
General Grant credit for reforms, but says
that II was not until the Democrats secured
control that the friends of the Indian made
very material progress. "Politics has
been the Indians greatest enemy" said
he. "The red man has been robbed right
and left by agents who were the vilest
aud lowest kind Of political heelers, np-
pointed at Washington for services ren-
dered." President Cleveland said that he
would do all In his power to secure justice
for the Indians and he did. "He had the
notorious Grow Creek order passed by the
previous administration repealed. by
this order millions Of acres of land were to
DO taken from the Indian without paying
one cent for II In return. The Democratic
Administration" continued Mr.. Welsh,
"made great effort TO secure the appoint
mont of honest mon as agents, and when
land was wanted from the red man he
was paid fair price for II. As q result.
the Indian has advanced more during tho
past few years than In thirty preceding
years. II the ratio Of progress keeps on
we will have all our Indians voting In
twenty years more.
This IL warm praise to come from the
