COMING TO CHURCH.
The Cotton Belt will Run Excursion Trains
to Sam Jones' Services.

The Cotton Belt will Run Excursion Trains
to Sam Jones' Services.
r. N. Carter, travelling passenger
agent Of the Cotton Belt and quasi ad-
vance agent Of Rev. Sam Jones, the
evangelist, was in the city yesterday dis
tributing dodgers announcing the fact
that the Cotton Belt would run an ex-
oursioD train from Mount Pleasant to
Fort Worth next Sunday, in order to ac-
commodate the people along the line who
wish to hear the great sin slayer. On
this occasion tickets will be put on sale
at the rate Of one fare for the round trip,
and advance agent Carter thinks he will
bring to Fort Worth 500 people, if the
weather is fair, on next Sunday.
We start from Mt. Pleasant at 1880
a. m, but that makes no difference.
Some people will stay up all night in Or
der to hear Brother Jones. At Tyler
saw at least 10, 900 people at one OF his
services. They We're sitting on fences,
on the limbs of trees, on wagons-auy-
where, so they could hear, and they
drank down the Gospel truths as they
dropped, like glittering diamonds, from
the caves of the sanctuary. Brother
Jones is waking the people up; he is with
the sword of truth, and he is slashing
right and left into the ranks of sin and
iniquity.
Eyes, sir, the Cotton Belt Is going to
bring the people here-the salvation train
will be here on time, and don't fail to
remember it.

a Feather for the Alton.

In the proceedings of the cattle con-
vention held in Fort Worth last week will
be found the following resolution which
was adopted without a negative vote:
Your committee believes that the railroad that
has come to the front in the matter of reducing
the rates on livestock shipments is the road that
the cattlemen should make an effort to patron
ize, thus showing that appreciate what they
have done and by augmenting their trade making
it possible for them to continue the low rates.
This same support should be extended to the
roads that are pioneers in the matter of giving
shippers the use of the improved stock cars
without additional cost.
This will be recognized at once as
compliment to the Chicago and Alton
road which "came to the 'front.' and re-
duced rates on livestock shipments, and
forced other roads to do the same Hon
est John Nesbett and truthful Jim Will
son were in Fort Worth during the con-
ventIOn and the above resolution proves
cOnclusively that they did rot sleep on
their oars. IT'S a fine feather in the
Al on S cap, and the two braves deserve
credit for it.

Fort WOrth'S Prospects for Securing

General Railroad Items.

Capt. B B. Paddock, president of the
Spring Palace, is not in the railroad
business at present, but he keeps about
as well posted on railroad matters as any
outsider in Texas, and is good authority
on matters connected with future move
ments of existing railroads or embryonic
schemes in railroad circles. He Is when
caught 10 the right kind of humor per-
fectly willing TO give q newspaper man a
few minutes time, as much as he can
spare from his duties as goveTnor-gen
eral of the Spring Palace, and talk on
railroads or any other subject having a
tendency to interest the general public.
The gentleman was approached by a
GAZETTE reporter Yesterday aud interro-
gated as to Chicago and Rock Island
matters and the prospects of its early eX-
teufiuu to Texas and to Fort Worth.
II am satsfed,'' said Capt. Pad
dock, THAT the Rock Island will build
TO Texas before the next snow falls. -
'Should il be built TO Fort Worth,
what do you think the beneficial results
TO the city will he?''
1.-The same that the building of any
important trunk line from the East
would bring. The problem of cheap
railroad fTeights will have to be, and
will be solved by competition, and the
greater number of railroads Fort Worth
has, the greater the competition will be
IN the future for her trade. This, in
time, will, as / said, solve the question
Of cheap freight rates.
Then the country through which this
road would run in reaching Fort Worth
Is one of the most fertile in the United
States, and the trade of it would be d.
verted to our merchants in the event of
this road beng built. -
"What chance do you think that Fort
Worth has 10 secure it?''
81 believe that well directed effort
on the part of our people would bring the
road 10 this city,
Gin what shape should that effort
be?''
"a committee of Fort Worth's repre-
sentative business men should visit the
Rock Island people, lay before them the
Importance of Fort Worth as a CONNER
cial point, and offer such inducements
for the road to build here as the city will
give. l will say further, a committee of
citizens of Fort Worth, myself among
the number, win start to Chicago next
Thursday for the purpose OF arranging
with the different railroads for special
rates to our Spring Palace exhibition.

Rolled Steel Car Whee1s-

The Pennsylvania rolled steel car wheel
company, which was organized in Nor
ristown some months ago, has prospects
of getting into operation the latter part
of this year, although as yet ground has
not been broken for the foundations of
the factory buildings. The company has
purchased as a site for the works fifteen
acres of land near Norristown, lying be-
tween the Pennsylvania, Schuylkill VAL
ley and Philadelphia and Reading rail-
roads, at the point where the former
company's Trenton branch will cross
both roads. The plant with which the
company will begin operations will cost
estimated, 500, 600, and its minimum
capacity will be from $50 to 800 finished
wheels every ten hours. 1t is contem-
plated hewever, to increase the facili-
ties TO 1000 wheels per day. The patents
under which the Pennsylvania company
VIII operate are owned and controlled by
the parent syndicate, the Continental
rolled steel car wheel company.

rush would do SO at the expense OF their
happiness, for there were not enough
claims to go around. This assertion
brought down the wrath OF those who
were advocating the movement, and the
correspondent was roundly denounced by
the small papers throughout Kansas for
attempting to cast slurs upon the people
and the country. The truth of those
dispatches as sent at that time was
demonstrated within thirty days after
the opening of the territory, for the
claims were all covered and thousands
were left out in the cold being compelled
to live on the charity of their neighbors
until they could obtain money enough to
get away. The reason was two fold.
There were not enough claims TO go
around and the class of people, as rule,
was not such as can best settle q new
country.
The statement made at that time that
one-half of the land was valueless for
farming purposes was also borne out,
and to-day every claim that can be
tarmed has family on it, and at least
half of the country is idle for want of
fertility. With the Cherokee Strip it is
entirely different. Where there were
only about 30 900 claims in Oklahoma to
be filed with about 40 900 people, IN the
Strip there are over 80 600 claims of $50
acres each, ready to be farmed. There
are something over 900, 900 acres of
land TO be thrown open to settlement,
aud out of this vast domain there is
scarcely an acre which will not respond
to cultivation. The Cherokee Strip is in
the form of a parallelogram extending
along the southern border of Kansas, and
is well watered throughout its length and
breadth. 1t is one vast rolling prairie
Of the finest soil in the Southwest, every
creek and stream being lined with heavy
bodies Of timber. In this garden spot
are the herds of the oattlemen, which
now roam where more than so, 900
families

A FERTILE IMAGINATION.


While the white men of that section
would be well pleased to have the negroes
kept away, and while they have even
gone so far as to threaten the leaders OF
the movement if they persisted in their
efforts to colonlze the Strip, the question
is one which ''will not down. The
officers of the First Grand Independent
Brotherhood are men who have been
houored in their localities, and IL will not
do to attempt to cast discredit on the
motives of such men as are leading the
movement. Much stress has been laid
upon the fact that negro lawyer, Paul
Jones. has said that the negroes were
not DESTROYS of forming a state. 1t is a
well known fact that year ago, when
the first opening came, Paul Jones had
a visionary scheme, and tried to induce
the colored people to accept him as their
leader, and promised to take them into
the land where they could capture the
country and form state. he was en-
tirely without followers, as the leading
negroes were too shrewd to be caught in
that grand rush. Paul was disappointed,
and now. when the men who refused to
join him last year see that they are IN
position to get a share of the land, he
comes out and denounces the scheme as
visionary. The society bears the closest
scrutiny, and there is no doubt that
when the grand 'round-up' comes at
the opening of the Cherokee Strip it will
be found that the negro colonists out
number the whites nearly so per cent.
The leaders say they will not be deferred
by the fears of outrage, which are
threatened oovertly by those who oppose
their coming.

COULD FIND HOMES.

One effect of the promised opening Of
this new territory is felt by the farmers
who went to Oklahoma and were fortu-
nate enough to secure homes in the be-
ginning. These men have struggled
along for nearly a whole year, with
nothing but their own hands to do the
work of the farm. Hired help was not
to be had for love or money. The work
of breaking the prairie, which every
farmer knows is the worst work of the
farm, was done by the owner, and the
struggle to keep up was hard one. The
present boom has sent hu ndreds of men
into the country who are waiting for an
opportunity to go into the Strip and Sc
cure farm These men are all along
the border, watching for chances to slip
over and secure claims where they can
watch them until the daV of opening
But while they wait they must work and
the result is that they hire out to the
farmers of Oklahoma, who are so badly
in need of their services, and thus the
land is brought up to a much higher state
of cultivation. There has been so large
q number of these men looking for work
that the ranchmen have become indepen-
dent, and now get all the hands they
want for their board. Those men who
have friends along the line are visiting
them and using their friendship for the
purpose of being near the promised land.
While the vast majority OF the men
who were in the first rush to Oklahoma
were men who had made failure every
where else, the present assemblage is of
a much better class, and are ready to
put N oney as well as labor into their
lands. These men have left the farms
of the East, and have been thrifty all
their lives. The proceeds of the sales of
the old places will be invested in their
new homes, and the result will be that
the farms of the Cherokee Strip will sur
pass either those of Oklahoma or South
ern Kansas.
1t will not do to ignore the effect of
the negro colonization boom, which has
been noted in these dispatches. The
Associated Press and the correspondents
who have been beaten on the publication
of the fact that there is well organized
attempt on the part of the colored men
to form negro state of Oklahoma, are
using every endeagor to cast discredit on
the reports, and are trying to prove that
the scheme is simply the child of
