Good Words for the Mule.

The mule is worth 25 per cent. more
than the horse because so per cent. bet
ter. Close acquaintance with mules for
about five years has taught me this fact.
They are really more docile than horses,
and harder, do more work, eat less and
thrive upon coarser fare; are never sick
unless shamefully i'll used or i'll fed; live
longer and are more useful while they
live. Inever saw a mule team run away.
Mules rarely stumble on the toughest
roads, are scarcely ever balky and will
pull heavy loads as steadily as oxen,
hanging on in the traces with all their
weight, without any jerks or giving
back. Consequently the harness lasts
longer than with horses. They may be
made as kind in disposition as horses by
the same kind treatment. Cor. New

The mutton merino is now the sheep
for breeders to go in for.
The maj who possesses the most sheep
of any single owner in America is Hag-

has 100, 900 sheep and this year sold $4O,-
600 worth of spring lambs.

The native cattle of Honduras are be-

fact that, except as to their horns, they
present every point that the American

their herd book. The Honduras COWS

feeding, yet their milk is rich. The

great milk, butter and cheese trade might
be built up cheaply by some one who
would cross the Honduras cows with the

no end of room for herds to grow up with
the country. Ranching there would
have the double advantage of cheap
labor and mild winters.

Percheron and Clydesdale blood is now,
however, so diffused through the west
that the native stock is rapidly being en-

numbers of Percherons on the farms in

to furnish the magnificent draft horses
now seen so commonly.
The strength of "Chaldean" is shown
in his magnificent flowing name and tail.
No weakling of a horse ever had a name

Breakfast Table Gossip,

From Sundays Daily.]
Bismarck is not anticipating a boom OF
gigantic proportions. She is not on the
verge of a real estate or railroad boom, but
better times are looked for soon, with peo-
pie in a happier frame Of mind to partici-
pate in the benefits. The man who sits
whiting on a dry goods box, necessarily
croaking about the weather, the crops and
hard times is no good to tile country or
himself. He is at liberty to take the first
train out of town. There is no string OF
him. No work for him to do. He wants
his choice Of work. Something light and
easy. There is plenty for him to do, but
he won't work. He isn't built that way.
His grocery bill has not been settled for
probably months. The citizens should pass
around the contribution box and send him
off to a more congenial. cline. Bismarck
has a reputation for unparalleled generosi-
ty. But this will do for the pessimist. He
is so insignificant that he deserves but
passing notice.
Having disposed of the pessimist without
iDjuring his prospects of running for a
county Office, the attention of the TRIB-
UNE's readers this Sunday morning is
respectfullylsolicited for a few brief mo
ments. While slipping your coffee and pc.

the possibilities that the iron horse on the
new road will be steaming into Bismarck
without change of cars. That'll be fine, nc
one can deny. Railroads have been threat

To the Mayors Of Incorporated Towns and
Business Men Of Texas.

Business Men OF Texas.
At meeting of the Waco Beard OF
Trade the undersigned we're appointed
committee to prepare an address to
all incorporated towns which have not
already an established Board OF Trade,
requesting them to at once organize
such boards.
Individual enterprise accomplishes
much, but it is often selfishly agrees
sive, while organized effort is more
conservative and more comprehen-
sive; results enter into a greater di-
versity of interests and are more per-
manent, thereby greater good is
attained for a greater number in both
communities and states.
The present has been aptly termed
THE AGE OF ORGANIZATION,
and we would respectfully urge the
Importance of the business men of
every town and city to unite, organize
board of trade and act together for
the mutual good of the several COM
mercial interests which they repre-
sent. Let the prime objects of such
assosociatin be the promotion of their
common interests, the advancement
and development of the material re-
sources of their respective towns and
sections, to acquire, preserve and dis
seminate reliable commercial and
economic information, to solicit and
encourage immigration, investment
and the establishment of manufacture
ing and commercial industries and to
secure to its members the benefit of
cooperation in the furtherance OF
their legitimate pursuits.
AS will be seen from the foregoing,
the duties of a board of trade are
varied and its work is coextensivc
with the diversified interests o. the
city or community in which it is 10
Gated.
A Board of Trade is q power for
good, and if properly upheld and sup
ported, it becomes the prominent fac
tor in the building up and fostering
the material interest and commercial
relations Of city or state.
In order to intensity this power and
to widen the usefulness of these local
Boards, the Waco Board of Trade sug-
gests the holding of convention in
this city on the 18th day of next Jan
uary for the purpose of effectinga
STATE ORGANIZATION.
The primary object of such a con-
veution is to draw the several towns
and cities into closer bonds of SYM
pathy and to discuss such subjects as
shall be to their mutual benefit and
the further progress and development
of the state.
We know of no more efficient means
to accomplish these results than the
OF business association
throughout the state into one organi-
zation, which will work singly to this
end.
Hoping that all towns will promptly
to this call and organize, it
is requested that upon organizing a
board of trade you notify the secre-
tary of the Waco board of trade, and
all boards, chambers of commerce and
cotton exchanges now organized are
also asked to inform our secretary 80 |
hat invitations can be issued to all |
business associations throughout the
state to participate in this conven-
ion. WIN. l.. PRATHER,

Upon this report the work was very
properly accepted by the county COM
missioner, and it is to be hoped that
the whole question will be promptly
settled now that reports about Travis
county and Austin repudiating their
contracts and debts may cease.
The Montopolis bridge is lilo feet
long, or 90 feet longer than the Ave
nue. bridge, and it cost about $11 900
less.
Experts and engineers having no
interest in the matter pronounce it a

the county commissioners and people
of Travis after all their worry are to
be congratulated.

Enforcement Of Law.

Constable Paine has been pursuing the
Saloon keepers quite closely Of late and
has made several 1selzures, since the
general searching Of saloons aud hotels
week before last. Mr.. Paine. we under
stand, has the assurances of many Of our
citizens who propose to sustain him In
this good work. II this Is tho fact and
these citizens continue this support the
sale of rum and beer can be reduced to a
minimum In Skowhegan.
The proprietors Of these hotels and
saloons are prefectly aware that In sell
ing liquors they are violating the law and
the simple fact, that they do 1t because
they make money by it, Is no excuse
whatever. They know this law Of the
State and ought to abide by 1t. The law
Is good one and for the good Of every
man, woman and child of our town and
the State and the rum traffic brings untold
misery, sorrow and suffering upon men,
women and innocent children, degrading
and destroying everything it touches,
even the rumseller himself In time
Furthermore 1t does no man on Gods
footstool one particle Of real good.
The money gained BY 1t Is the price OF
blood and has whitening, blasting effect
upon those who get 1t as we'll as upon

0ne Week for Work.

A little over one week, only, remains
before our election of Governor, Con-
gressmen and County Officers, and that
week should be one of activity on the
part of Republicans.
Democrats are wide awake, in this
County at least, as they always are when
they think there is ghost of a chance to
run in one OF their candidates. They
have got their ideas raised on one or
more County Officers and will put In
their best llcks, TO get by hook or crook,
Republican votes enough to defeat Repub-
licans candidates. Their objective point
Is Sheriff. They have popular candi-
date for the office, but one who
has had no experience in the work of
Sheriff, and therefore his success and
efficiency In administering that office Is
problematlcal. On the other hand the
Republican candidate has had experience
as deputy sheriff, knows well the duties
of the office, and we are not aware that
there has ever been any complaint made
that he has not been an efficient and faith
full officer.
Democrats are aware that the election
of Sheriff means half-dozen or more
deputies and therefore they concentrate
their forces upon this Office for the bene-
1T they expect to their party not only In
the sheriffslty itself, but In the securing
of deputies as well. To secure his elect.
ion they have got to have many Repub-
lican votes and 1t does not seem possible
that Republicans will be parties to this
arrangement.
In looking at this question, Republicans
In order to vote for the Democratic
nominee for Sheriff, must bring them
selves up to the point of casting theli
ballot for the license plank In the plat.
form Of the Democratic State Couyen-
ton as endorsed by the Somerset County
Democratic Convention. Are Republicans
ready to do thisl We do not believe they
are and shall not believe 1t until we are
compelled to.
1t Is good plan to find out lust what
your enemy wants you to do, and expects
you to do, and then do 1t sot. The enemy
wants Republicans to slash up their bal
lots this year and expect many of them to
1t. Our advice is, don't do 1t.
