THE ALTERS DOUBLE TRAGEDY.

Special to the Gazette.
PARIS, Ten, Dec. 21.-Commissione or
Lee returned this evening from Alters,
where he has been investigating the
killing of Mrs. Ladd by her husband and
his attempted suicide. Ladd is still
alive, but with 45-bullet hole entering
squarely under the chin and coming out
in the center Of his head. only one inch
or two back of his forehead. He cannot
possibly live. After shooting his wife,
he inflicted the wound on himself and
then fired second shot at his head, but
missed, the bullet entering the ceiling.
Beyond the surmise of his jealousy no
cause has been learned. 1t has developed
that Ladd's real name is Bates, and that
he is from Kentucky. 1t is not known
what caused him to change his name.

HERE'S A CHANCE.
Gen. Cameron Throws Practicability
Into Theory.
Gould Texas Not Encourage tic Beet
Sugar Industry to Crest Advant-
age Some Valuable Hints.

Gen. r. A. Cameron was found at the
Pickwick yesterday morning devour!ne
the valuable information contained in
The GAZETTE s big Sunday edition. And
his thoughts kept pace with his eyes.
"That's q great paper, - said the gen.
eral, "and it contains much valuable
Natter
"If every man interested in the
growth and development of Northwest
Texas, whether land owner, real estate
dealer or business man, will read the ar
ticle headed, "Tbe Sugar Beet for
Texas by Professor STEELE, on the
fourth page of yesterdays Sunday GA
ZETTE, be will get some idea of q most
important question 10 be settled for the
Panhandle railroad country.
'What we now want to know Is, how
many tons OF beets has been raised per
acre by anyone between Fort Worth and
Texline?
Next, we want persons having white,
or sugar beets, to send two or three
weighing from three 20 five pounds each
to Secretary Rusk. secretary of
agriculture at Washington, express
charges paid, asking him to have them
analysed for sugar, which he will have
done without expense to the party send
ing them.
"Then we want in every county be-
tween Fort Worth and Texline at least q
quarter Of an acre of sugar beets sown
close in drills; seed to be procured from
the department at Washington, now.
The ground to be fairly measured and
the crop weighed. II sown ut different
times, then as soon as each sowing ma
lures, a sample sent to Washington to be
tested for sugar.
''Then il We can raise the beets in
sufficient quantity and the percentages OF
saccharine matter is high enough l will
guarantee the rest-that is, the money
and the mills.
"See here! The legislature of Nebraska
gives royalty of l cent q pound for all
sugar made from heets for the next four
years.
"Suppose Texas does the same this
winter? How would it do to see Ne
braska and go a cent better? 1t may
bring US twenty beet sugar mills, the
investment of $40. GOO, 900 capital, the
employment of 5000 experts, new agriSs
cultural development aud the increase
of the price of Texas lands s. an acre all
around. -

THE SAFES FRIGHTENING.


What with the mor!bund forcs bill :,
dying, Egypt, dying; the prospective
retirement from active political life OF
ingalls, aud other ultra radical mischief
makers, the death Of Col. s. Bull, the
hopes of more or less needful financial
legislation, aud the important fact that
Uncle Jeremiah Rusk has fitted up

lent room of his department at Washing

manly frame TO the renovRtiug touches

these favorable Indications and the
further fact that I. B. Reed is become o
very reasonable and we'll behaved czsr

congratulate themselves on the improved

TIE xKsRSoT TIE AMENDMENTS
1.-THE majority IN favor of the railway
commission amendment is 10Y 40. a
figure that ought to be decisive enough
1t is what, in common parlance, is called
overwhelming. In any other state OF
this Union such majority for any man
or cause would be phenomenal, If not
impossible. The fact that this vote fell
behind the vote on the balance OF the
state ticket does not detract particle
The commission was the issue. and the
only issue of the campaign. 1t bore the
brunt of the fight, and suffered accord
ingly. That wns inevitable. No one
expected any other result. The assault
upon it was vigorous and uncompromis-
ing. 1t came from interested parties,
their friends and retainers. The bal
ance of the ticket went unchallenged.
Hence the difference in the result. Con-
siderng the formidable opposition made
to the amendment, both before and after
the state convention, its friends have
right to congratulate themselves on the
decisive and overwhelming character of
their victory. 1t is victory complete
In every sense of the word, and leaves
no room whatever for any doubt as to
the wishes of the people respecting the
creation of q railway commission.
The majority for the county road
amendment is in round numbers 81 900.
If this be compared with the majority
for the commission amendment, it will
be clearly seen that, while the people
wanted better county roads and were
willing to tax themselves for that pur-
pose, they were far more earnest in their
desire for commission. Better roads
were deemed good thing, but COM
mission was thought TO be q better one.
They wanted both, but they wanted
commission far more vehemently than
they did improved dirt roads. The vote
on each amendment: indicates the i'm
portance attached TO il IN the minds OF
the voters.
The voters having done their duty, the
matter now rests with the legislature. 1t
is for that body to enact the desired leg
islation in conformity with the expressed
popular wish, and provide both COM
mission law and road tax law. What
ever eise il may be called on TO do, its
duty in this particular is obvious enough.

TURN on THE LIGHT

Noting the fact that Texas produced
this year 800 900 bales of cotton, and
pred ictlng that the time is not far distant
when she viii Increase that figure to
3, 900 900 bales, the Louisville Courier
Journal says that "when the great en-
pre- state of the South rises up and
shakes herself, it Will not be worth willis
for anybody else TO enter the ring. -
Even SO. That is true in more senses
than one. 1t is true, not only of her
agricultural possibilities, but Of her min
erals and her politics as well. Its graf
flying to know that outside of the state.
Ohio, people are coming to know and
appreciate the wonderful possibilities OF
this state. Recognition is coming slowly
but II is coming. Texas has done very
little comparatively to bring herself TO
the notice of the East or the North.
But gradually knowledge OF her vast
resources, her millions of acres OF fine
arabic lands still virgin soil, her miner
ais, her forests, her water courses, her
genial and heaIthful climate and
her hospitable people. Is spread
ing abroad and shedding light
where darkness and doubt had
previously existed. The light is perhaps
dim and uncertain as yet, but it will
grow: il is bound 20 grow, for the prog
Cf Srpr
more be staid than can the rising OF the
sun. The light may increase slowly or
rapidly, as Texans choose. 1t is for
them TO say which. If they will exert
the proper degree of energy, If they will
display the requisite spirit IN bringing
their state to the notice OF the world,
bef progress will be phenomenal. She
has hitherto lived in the binding light of
a farthing candle. Let her turn on the
electric light. Let her discard the tallow
dip for the arc light, and behold the re-
suit, The dullest can easily imagine
what ii would be.
With tiners of the soil In sufficient
numbers, Texas can raise cotton enough
10 supply the markets of the world. Is
there another state or kingdom extant
that can make that proud boast2 Let
but that ere circumstance alone be
brought home to the people of other, ss-
peciully northern states, end tens of
tn ousands of those struggling for a bare
existence amidst the frost and biz
yards of rigorous climate would
come trooping towards the gulf.
The stream of immigration has yet to
be turned toward the Southwest. How
to do that in the speediest manner is the
problem, aud very easy one it is, too;
so easy that the wonder is it was not
worked out in years past. To say moth
ing of what may be done by organized
effort in localities, the state can and
should present an exhibit at the Worlds
fair that will do her full justice. No
matter about the cost. Have 1t there
and the business is done. That Is the
way for the "empire state of the South
to rise up and shake herself.'' Let her
do SO and competition will fly from her
as from the glance of destiny. No one
else twill enter the ring" against her.

Terrible Asian Heat.

The horror Of the heat is unknown to
US, or indeed to any part Of Europe,
though Naples and Athens are desper-
ately trying sometimes. But to the ma
tive of Scinde, Central Asia, the shores of
the Persian gulf, the sun of Greece is but
triAe. The utter helplessress of man
under this infection adds h.,rror to his
sufferings.
There is no hope and no resource when
the red hot air penetrates to those under
ground chambers in which the summer
IS passed in Central Asia. "The inhabi-
tants," we learn, ''are shutting them
selves up to escape'-probablv closing
all the apertures Of their subterranean
abodes, except those absolutely necessary
for ventilation. The air down below,
under such circumstances, cannot be
imagined by one who has not q touch of
experience. Houses of good class are
sOiidlv constructed under ground, with
chambers and doors and corridors, but
the mass Of the people inhabit big holes
rooted over, with no kind Of permanent
convenience. Every winter the frost and
snow and rain play mischief with these
rough pits, and the damage is not always,
nor often, repaired by the following sum-
mer. Fancy thousands of Mongols in
these dens, pursuing their filthy habits in
semi-darkness, suffering the awful tor
ment of heat, children waiiing, adults
raving, always in want of water and gen.
orally Of food, in an atmosphere beyond
conCeiving Standard.
