FORT WORTH WATER.
Tho City Water Mains to be Filled with Best

The City Water Mains to be Filled with Best
Artesian Fluid.
Pure artesian water from the new well
on fuckers hill which has recently been
sunk to depth of about 900 feet, Is now
flowing down Rusk street, and people
who visit that section OF the city are
every day made sensible of the fact that
the experimental stage of the scheme for
furnishing Fort Worth with complete
supply Of artesian water for all purposes
through the city water mains has
got beyond the experimental stage,
and In n short time the
process Will be established and in opera
ton. The contractor on the fuckers
hill well has not quit work with the
securing of the first flow, but is still
sending the drill down, and each hour
witnesses an increased flow, which now
amounts to 100 gallons per minute. The
completion of the scheme contemplates
the sinking of several more wells at
available points, the construction of
stand pipes into which the artesian water
is to be forced by its own force, and from
which it will run through the city to con-
sumers.
The saving which this will make to the
city in its waterworks expense will be
large amount annually. The citizens
will no longer be dependent upon the
vicissitudes of the Trinity for their water
supply, but will have at hand inexhaus-
tibl9 quantities OF the purest artesian
fluid. The success of the fuckers hill
experiment is significant because IL in
sures success of the scheme of which it is
a part

Excursion of Half Hundred Bankers and
manufacturers.
Yesterday Messrs. L. B Imboden and
A. W. Caswell received telegram from
Boston to the effect that party of forty
or fifty New England bankers and man
ufacturers would leave that city on Sat-
urday, May II, for Fort Worth, to visit
the Spring Palace.
They will arrive in Fort Worth We'd
nesday morning next and will remain
four or five days. They will no doubt
be taken in hand by the cham
Der of commerce and shown the
advantages of the city as place for In
yestments. The movement which has
resulted in the securing of these excur-
sionists was spoken of in THE GAZETTE at
the time it was on foot here. The best
of results are to be hoped from the visit.
Fort Worth has many beauties to show
these New Englanders, and with the
operations of an active chamber of COM
merce there is no doubt their interest can
be secured IN this city 8 upbuilding.

A FATHER in Utica, New York, broke
up an eloping arrangement by turning a
bulldog loose who seized the lover by
the coat as he was mounting the ladder
at the young lady IS window. The young
man fled down the street, the dog hold
ing his grip. An officer arrested the man
for dog-stealer, as when he saw them
rolling on the pavement 1t was difficult to
say whether the man had this valuable
dog or the dog had the man. There was
no interceding voice of the owner at the
police court next morning, 50 the adoring
swain was adiudged guilty of dog-steal-
ing and fined $40. 1t is thought that the
irate papa engineered the dog episode
satisfactorily to himself at least.

= Large Trade.
Chi1dress Index.

The largest transaction in real estate
ever made at Childress was consummated
this week by some Fort Worth parties
buying the railroad section lying one
mile south of the depot. The price paid
was SIS per acre or $4,000 for the section,
which is cheap for this piece of land, ly-
ing as it does, and the parties will double
their money within the next twelve
month. We understand the parties will
at once plat the ground into acre lots and
put them on the market at easy figures.
Count another point for Childress, as this
deal demonstrates what outside capital
thinks of Childress and points out where
the leading town of the Panhandle will
be located. Another immense deal is on
foot and the particulars will be given to
the public in a short time through the
columns of the Index.

The headquarters.

Fort Worth, with its usual push and
liDerality, made propositions to the
Bowie convention that captured it, and
the people of the great town where the
panther had his lair will fur
nish rooms, manager, and bear all
the expenses of an exhibl: Of Panhandle
and Northwest Texas produots-not
through the time of the Spring Palace,
but permanently. The offer was certainly
d magnificent one, even prodigal one in
its liberalIty. and the Fort will certainly
well have earned all she can make out of
il. Now let US see the Panhandle send
her specimens, and keep sending them,
for there is substantial benefit to be de-
rived from this. All the enterprising
counties will make use Of the chance
presented. Is Oldham enterprising?

Judgment Against the Santa Fo.

SpecisI 70 the Gazette
PARIS, TEX. May 15.--In the district
court to-day a judgment of $500 was
rendered against the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe railroad company in favor of
William Littleiohn, negro who received
injuries in the yards here some months
ago.
Judge McClelland to-day fixed the bond
of Isaac Fuller, charged with the murder
of William Roach, at 500. Roach was
supposed to have been murdered about
the 9Th of last October, and his body was
secreted under brush pile on a vacant
lot in the eastern portion OF the city +,
where it remained about ten days. Sus-
picion rested on Fuller, but the evidence
secured SO far is not strong.

THE globe circllng trip of George Fran
els Tram has not received much atten-
ton, partly because of the erratic char
acter of the man and partly because Of
the new. He was sent out by the Ia
coma Ledger, and is likely to beat Nellie
Bly's time by full seven days, and to
prove that the shortest route around the
world Is via Tacoma and Puget sound =.
This proved, the results will be of COM
mercial bearing and the enterprise of
newspapers will go for but little when
compared with these.

YOUNG men who supinely wait for
help in acquiring a profession might
learn q lesson from the early struggles of
the late Senator Beck. When he was
barely grown he went from New York to
Kentucky, there worked side by side in
the fields with negroes, borrowed law
books from neighbor and studied at
night after his day IS work was done. He
afterwards graduated in law school
and finally became the man SO generally
respected and mourned.

The convention of Southern Baptists at
Fort Worth has brought together a large
number of representative churchmen OF
all the Southern states, and among the
ohurchmen you will find some of the
shrewdest capitalists and business men,
who are not blind to the attractions of
Texas, and who recognize that Fort
Worth is bound to come, and doubtless
some good Christian dollars will be
planted in that city for future reference.

GIVE USA NoN-PAR71SAN CENSUS.

GIVE USA ON-PARTTSANC CENSUS.
Superintendent Porter of the census
bureau is greatly concerned lest the &C
ton of the city councils and boards Of
trade in certain Western cities, in appro-
priating money to aid their census super
visors in the enumeration of the popula-
ton, may be productive of fraud and
tend to bring the census into disrepute.
He has accordingly issued an order posi-
tiyely forbidding census supervisors to
receive ''any such compensation or pay
ment of any sum of money whatever by
corporations, associations or persons, -
and informing them that if they are not
satisfied with the compensation allowed
by law they can resign at once. He fur
Their says "the eleventh census must and
shall be above suspicious; that 9; to toll
crate any action on the part of sssocia-
tions, organizations or individuals. no
matter how powerful they may be, which
has for its purpose the debauching, or
which would even throw the slight
est faint upon the truthfulness
of the returns, WOULD in his opinion,
"be nothing short of crime on the peo-
pie of the United States.
This sounds very fine. but the danger
of bringing the census into disrepute
does not lie in the direction of briblng by
Western city councils or boards of trade.
1t lies in the fact, which has been openly
and repeatedly charged, that Porter
himself was selected for the purpose OF
making the census bureau an auxiliary
of the Republican campaign bureau,
subject to the control and manipulation
of Republican leaders and campaign
managers, and that figures and statistics
will be compiled and juggled, particular
ly in the South, for political purposes and
in the interest of the Republican party.
This is the kind of debauchery of the
returns most to be feared, and not that
some CITY council or board of trade may
bride or corrupt the census supervisors
by raising fund to aid in the enumera-
ton OF the population or the gathering of
census statistics. Wherever such funds
have been raised the object was
not bribery, but rather to give
assistance and TO facilitate the work
of securing full, complete and correct
enumeration of the population, and an
accurate and reliable compilation of in
dustrisl, agricultural, commercial and
general statistics. The fund was not to
be added to the compensation of the
supervisors, but to be expended in gath
ering the information needed to secure
complete census returns.
Now, if Superintendent Porter will
live up to his order all along the lines,
and give US aa honest census, he will
cover himself with glory. If, on the
contrary, he makes of his bureau Re-
publican party machine, to be controlled
and manipulated by Republican party
tricksters, wire-pullers and managers,
he will, indeed, be guilty of ga crime
upon the people of the United States, i"
such as will cause his name to be exc
Grated, for all time to come, by every
true American citizen and every honest
man
