THE PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.

ericsson SPRINGS, Pa, Sept. 10
The president to-day issued the following
proclamation:
To whom it may concern:
Whereas, it has been represented TO
me that by reason of drouth, which has
prevailed in the Indian Territory and in
adjoining states, the execution of my
proclamation of February II, 1890, re-
curing the removal of all livestock from
the Cherokee outlet on or before October
l, would work great hardship and loss,
not only to owners of stock herded upon
the Strip, but to owners of cattle in ad-
joining states, and
Whereas, owners of all cattle now
herded upon the outlet have submitted
TO me a proposition IN writing whereby
they agree TO remove one-half their
stock from the outlet on or before No
vember l, and residue thereof, and all
of their property and employees on or be-
fore December l next, and to abandon
all claims in said outlet, now, therefore,
/, Benjamin Harrison, president of the
United States, do give notice and pro-
claim that tn time heretofore fixed for
the removal of livestock herded upon
said outlet is extended to November l as
TO one-half thereof and December l next
as to the residue thereof aud as to all
property and employees.

Improving Berkshires.

Farmer Benkleman of Denver holds
that the Bershlre can be improved by
crossing and says: 81 think that a cross
between the Red Duroc and the improved
modern Berkshire makes the best all
around hog ever saw. The Duroc Is q
large red hog, coarse in hair and fibre,
large bone good feeder aud very thrifty
The modern Berkshire Is nice :,
well-rounded and comparatively small
hog, nearly all black, little overbred
and dainty. The cross is black and red
spotted hog, and combines the best ele-
ments Of both breeds; not quite SO long,
more compact shorter legged finer haired
inheriting neither the lop ear Of the
Duroc nor the upright ear of the Berk-
SHIRE, but happy medium-sized ear.
The long and the short shouts of its pro-
genitors are blended in q we'll proper

acter. 1 have seen black and reds 60 400
pounds at fifteen months without extra
pains being taken to push them; they are
free from disease and good rustlers in the

months on green alfalfa with plenty of
water and in the cold months will eat lu-

WILL IT BE?

Yesterday afternoon q GAZETTE re-
po rter engaged Dewitt c. Kemper in
conversation on livestock matters gen.
orally, but especially on the present
prices of beef cattle and the prospect for
better times in the future. Mr.. Kemper
was at one time an extensive shipper of
cattle from this part of Texas, but has
given up that branch of the business and
is now engaged i'll slaughtering.
"Prices are low at present. he said
in answer to the reporters question.
"Fat cows bring in this market any
where from one TO one and half cents
per pound; no steers are bought by
butchers. Hogs are selling readily at
from three to three and q half cents and
there are plenty of them in the country
but they are not very fat
els not the prices you pay for COWS
lower than they should be?''
"They are better than are paid In
Chicago when freight, shrinkage COM
mission, etc. are taken into considera-
ton. If you don't believe it buy cows
here at what we pay and ship to Chicago
and you will find that you will lose So
per head
''Do you think that prices will get any
better?''

sla ghter OF she cattle that is now going
on, the decrease in the supply that Is be-
ing caused by the heavy shipments from
the Indian Territory and the Northwest,
and the increasing population which
naturally increases the demand will cause
q big advance in cattle before many
years. l have shipped lots of cattle III
my life and pretend to know something
about the business. In my life time 1
have seen cattle on foot sell for nine
cents per pound, Texas beef steers bring
ing as much as SIS per head, and the
time is coming when you need not be
surprised to see the same condition of
things. Everything is regulated in the
cattle market by supply and demand,
and If there is not enough cattle to sup
ply the demand for beet there is nothing
that can keep prices down and believe
the supply is going to be short.
eyes, believe prices for Texas cattle
will be better next spring than they are
now. You see, Kansas, Iowa, Ne
braska, Illinois and Missouri will not feed
near the number of cattle this year they
have been in the habit OF feeding, but
what they are short in will have to come
from somewhere else. This will make
the demand for grass cattle better and
prices will go up. Another thing that
will help the cattlemen then is the refrig-
orator. can tell you 200 cattle in Fort
Worth per day will make market and q

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

''I don't think there will be any diff
Guilty experienced by the packing house
people in getting hogs from Texas, to
run their packing house on, - said a well
| posted stockman to GAZETTE reporter
yesterday. "The question of raising
hogs has been SO well discussed, and the
profits of the business so well shown up
by THE GAZETTE and other papers in the
state, that farmers in all sections have
turned their attention TO the business,
and there are now in Texas two, and
perhaps three hogs to where there was
one two years ago. -
'How about feed for them?''
"Plenty of it. Corn will be little
high, no doubt, on account of the failure
of the crop in other states, but
Texas has an abundance of corn.
All over the southwestern central
and northern parts of the state
the season has been comparatively good
and there are lots of corn fields that will
yield thirty-tve bushels per acre. And
even if this was not so, the bitter mast Is
abundant. The postoaks and the shin
oaks are loaded with acorns in all parts
of the state, and the pecan crop, the
good.
"What quality of hogs can be had in
TeXas?'
'The quality, generally Is not as high
as in some other states, a great many
low grade hogs being raised in the eastern
part of the state; but all over the prairie
country the grade of hogs has been
greatly improved and the Berkshire and
Poland China are in the majority. l am
glad, aye more than glad to see
that this packing house is going to start
up. 1t will not only furnish a market
for all the hogs in the state but it will
stimulate an industry that is yet in its
infancy, as it will be but q few years
until Texas will have more fine hogs than
any state in the Union. The profits in
hog raising, especially in Texas where
hog cholera rarely appear where eli
matte conditions re all in favor of it
can be made the most profitable business
for the farmer or the stockman that
there is in the state. It will beat cattle

RAILWAY MATTERS.
A Movement Started to Build a Road 30

WACO TO LLANO.

A Movement Started to Build a Road Be-
tween the Two Places.
The prospects for Llano becoming a
railroad center grow brighter as the
days roll on. The For: Worth and Rio
Grande will certainly build there; the
Austin and Northwestern will no doubt
extend from Burnet, and now another
movement has been started having in
view the building OF line from Waco to
Lluno. by the way of Lampasas. A
NEE ting was held ut Gatesville recently to
take some steps to secure this road, and
the proposition OF the company was sub
united as follows:
The company proposes in consideration
of Coryell county (aud Gatesville) giving
them right-of-way and depot grounds Cat
Gatesyille) and bonus of $50 900 TO Con-
struct and equip broad gauge road from
Waco, via Crawford, GatesyiIle and Lam
pasas, to Llano, work TO begin within
ninety DAYS and the road to be completed
within eighteen months. One-half of
the bonus to be paid when the road is
completed between Waco and Gatesville
and the other half when completed be-
tween Gatesville and Lampasas. Right
of-way and depot grounds to be furnished
when needed.
The proposition was favorably received
and q committee appointed TO look into the
matter of q standing bonus that had been
subscribed by the people. This commit
tee reported that $40 600 of the old list
could be collected and then call was
made for new subscribers. In q little
while So, 1888 more was raised, making
So 1889. A committee was then ap-
pointed 20 go to Waco and make favor
able report to the railroad company.
A resolution was adopted pledgiug Gates
vile and Coryell county to raise the bal
ance of the money. 1t was regular old
time Fort Worth meeting.
The Cotton Belt now has q line from
Waco to Gatesville, and it can be safely
assumed that if another line starts out
from Waco for Llano that the Cotton Belt
will also push ahead to the iron regions.

1t is, therefore, one of the most I'M
probable things that any man whom the
people of Texas might elect by an over

take such fearful risks in the exercise of
his authority. No man of common sense
would do it, and no one with an honor

THE STORY opens with the meeting OF
q London merchant and his lawyer, who are
scheming to obtain the fortune left by Mr.. John
Nicholson of Prospect Rancho, Texas, to the
heiress whose disappearance gives the title to
the story. The merchant and lawyer are work
ing against each other. They engage a brokeu-
down rancher to further their ends. He, how,
ever, gets an inkling of the plot and concocts a
cold blooded scheme OF his own. The heiress is
with her parents who have settled in South
Africa. War breaks out and the chief charsc-
tiers in the story meet under unusual circum-
stances. The girls life is in the utmost jaop-
ardy. Her lover Is taken captive by the great
Zulu chief, but is liberated By Zulu girl. On
reaching the British camp he is arrested on q
false charge Of murder.
The story is one OF movement and incident,
the scenes changing rapidly. Movements that
were actually made By the troops, battles that
were fought and historic incidents-such as the
death of the prince imperial of France-ars ad-
mirably described and are cleverly bound up
with the development OF the story.

This is true nevertheless, and ii is nnfor-

that he had come TO Texas TO buy large

The pessimist, like the poor, we always

every poor man is a pessimist, or evert

the oase. But there Is quality COM
mon to DO IN classes that sutfces TO COM

friendly TO railroads? What sort of de-
velopment cEn you give US without rail-
roads enjoying the same share of privi-
leges and rights accorded to other enter
prises?" II the assumption on which this
dolefuI idea is based were not an assump-
ton but fact, the query would be
proper enough aad the answer obvious.
1t is tuken for granted by ouI
friend, the pessimisr, in fact'
he does not hesitate to say
that when the legislature shall have en-
powered Governor Hpgg to name a rail-
road commission, he will be guided more
by his prejudices and ambition, than by
sound judgment and a\sense of justice to
both the railroads and the people, in
fixing the personnel of tho commission.
This idea assumes again that as governor
Mr.. Hogg would be far less judicious,
prudent and wise than his friends i'm
agine. The foremost statesman of to-
day or of the century, Nat Calhoun or
Clay or Webster or Washington, or JEFF
Davis, even, IL alive, could do that, and
survive as political factor in or out of
the state. To ignore the equities of the
situation, as well as the rights OF both
people and railroads, to refuse TO hold
the balance honestly between them in
naming n commission, in order to humor
an unworthy within or prejudice, or
10 foster personal ambition, would
be worse than suicidal. because OF the
consequent damage to material interests
and state progress involved. As was said
moment ago, no one, no matter what his
character or fame, could surmiee such
policy as that. His Waterloo would be
as memorable as any that has ever oc-
CURED in the history of Texas politicians.
There can be no doubt of this, for Texas

Not included in total. No clearing house at

An examination of the above official
table shows that for the eight months
ending August 81, 1890, Fort Worth
leads all the cities of the Union, except
Tacoma alone, in rate of increase over
the bank clearings for the corresponding
period of 1889.
Only three Texas cities find place IN
tho report, viz: Fort Worth, Dallas and
Galveston. The rate of increase for each
of these Texas cities is as follows: Fort
Worth, So per cent; Dallas, 56.S; CAL
weston, 33.l.
Two facts disclosed by the above off,
cial report are that IN 1889 the clearings
OF Galveston exceeded those of Fort
Worth by nearly one hundred per cent,
whereas In 1890 the clearings of Calves
ton exceeded those OF Fort Worth By less
than forty per cent; aud that in 1889 the
clenrings of Dallas exceeded those of
Fort Worth by forty per cent, whereas
