DENTON, TEX, March S.-The cold
weather of the past few weeks has been
the theme for many remarks by people
from different portions of the county,
and it Seems to be the opinion of most
persons that that portion of the oat crop
recently planted has been destroyed by
the late freeze. More than two weeks
ago some of our farmers had planted
some corn but no one seems to be in so
much hurry about the matter of crops
just now.
District court, Judge q. E.. Barrett
presiding. has been rather actively en-
gagged during the last two weeks of the
term and many cases have been disposed
of. The plan recently adopted here of
leaving the arrangement of the docket
to a committee of attorneys appointed
by the court is an acknowledged i'm
provement over former methods, but it
is thought that some improvement in the
matter can still be made, and some
change IN the order may be made to hat
end. Quite a number of attorneys from
different points have been in attendance
upon the scourt, among whom is noted
Hon. w. A. Davis and Messrs. Garrett,
Lewis aud Daugherty of Gainesville,
Hons. Stillwell Russell of Dallas, A. H.
Monteith OF Bolton, NJ. D. Priest of Fort
Worth and Morgan of Brentwood.
Hon. j. W. Bailey Of Gainesville,

spent a couple of days here this week,

Further Reduction Likely to be Male to Points

sT. Louis. Mo-, March s.-Chairman
Finley of the Trans Missouri passenger
association, who came here for the pur-
pose of inducing the Missouri Pacific to
withdraw its cut rates west of Kansas
City and confine the reductions to points
east of the Missouri river, did not ac-
complish his mission. The Missouri Pa
ciho insists upon q corresponding rate
west of Kansas City so long as
the cut rates remain in efect
between the Missouri River and Chicago
and St. Louis, and it is not unlikely If
the rates between the Missouri River and
Chicago are further reduced that cor
responding reductions will be made by
the Missouri Pacific company west of
Kansas City. 1t Is also understood that
the Missouri Pacific has grown. tired OF
irregularities practiced by Colorado lines.
and this will strengthen its d~eterInina-
ton TO fight out the battle to the end.

Ard an Fotel Clerk who wOutdn't catch on
Tr!ei to { i've Item separate Rooms.
Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, March 8. - Quite an
amusing incident occurred in this city
last evening at one of the hotels. A
young couple obtained a marriage license
yesterday, and after having the cere-
mouY performed they repaired to one of
the hotels, and the groom walked up TO
the counter and registered, his wife
also registered as Miss -, signing
her husbands name. The clerk sup
posing them to be brother and sister,
directed the bell boy to show the
young lady 10 room No. 6 and the gen.
tleInau TO room No. IA. The pair ex-
changed significant Chances and with
drew 10 the hall and entered into earnest
conversation, from which the bell boy
tanding near obtained a partial under
standing of the situation and returned
to the clerk and said. "Dis couple
don want no two rooms. The clerk
still not catching on said, Oh,
Yesl understand. Send them TO
No. Z, that has two BEDS But This
arrangement still did not suit them,
andbthe boy returned telling the clerk
that 'Tdem two folks was lone married
and dey didn't van no double room,
either.' A single room was assigned
them and quiet add happiness reigned
supreme.
1t turns out tina the couple had eloped
and they boarded an east-bound Cotton
Belt this morning jest in time to escape
an irate father, who swore vengeance
against the r%eprobats who stole his girl.

The Great Wichita Valley.

Tire value OF the country along the Fort
Worth and Denver City Road in Texas, as q
farming country has proven so great, results
have been so satisfactory, and PEG le are COM
ing so fast that it has compelled the opening
Of additional territory for settlement by the con-
s,Tuction OF the Wichita Valley Railway from
Wichita Falls in Wichita county through Archer
and Baylor counties. This road runs its
entire length, siXty-fve miles, through the
same character OF country as that on the
Panhandle route, in Wichita and Wilbarger
counties, and is just as available for agricul-
iural purposes. Lands are now to be had at
comparatively low prices, but will advance rap

FOgs in Newfoundland

There is ono subject upon which |
find st. Johns people to be touchv--
fogs As everybody knows. the Arc
tic current sweeps through the ATTAIN
tic from the Pole directly past the east
coast of Newfoundland, and that its
chilly waters, meeting those of the
warm Gulf Stream, cause the frequent
fogs which prevail for many miles at
sea off Newfoundland. Some parts of
the coast ase never free from these sea
clouds, and many poor fisherman in
his dory has been separated from his
companions and lost in the heavy fogs
which hang over that great submerged
island known as the Grand Banks, the
home of the cod and the great fishing
grounds of the world.
Whether or not it's because the fog
gier the weather, the better the fishing
and everybody in st. Johns is in
leresteu IN tne nsherles-I don't pre-
tend to know, but it is certain that
the good citizens of st. Johns will
never admit that it is foggy in the
city. A fellow passenger on the
steamer, Mr.. Bowers-a truth-loving
Newfoundlander treasured me that |
would observe as striking mctcoro-
logical phenomenon when reached
st. Johns that dense fog frequently
hung over the ocean and around the
cliffs at the entrance to the harbur, but
never-no, ncyer-did the fog reach
the city. 1T is most remarkable, sir"
he said.
And so II would have been. But,
alas when ] stumbled against my
friend Bowers on Water street in a
fog SO thick you could cut it'll he assured
me that it wss not a genuine sea fig,
but only q slight mist. --[Ncw York

Concerning the Winds variations.

A series of observations for a hun
dred consecutive days has been made
at the top of the EifIel Tower on the
velocity of the WIND. .~..Ss2D Speaking ge@-
orally, the velocity at that elevation
was three times in the average greater
than nearer the ground. Much of the
diminution of force and speed is no
doubt due TO the check given by
houses and other objects near the sur
face of the earth. The observations
present many curious details as to the
variations at various times of the day
and night, due to changes of tempera-

Keen OF Of White Sidewalks.

If man wants to avoid being pros
trated by the heat, he needs TO be care
full how he walks over white side
walk with the sun on it. In very hot
weather people wear white or very
light clothing because it repels the
heat, while dark clothes absorb it. II
is just so with these white pavements.
They never get so hot as dark ones,
and are easier on the feet in conse-
quence, but they reflect the heat on the

The Rose Bath.

The rose bath is luxury far off, de-
sirable but unattaiEable, so says the
practical mind, but not so. The lux
ury of the ancients can be obtained by
the nineteenth century maiden at a
cost second to nothing. The bath of
roses can be made as follows: The
warm water, in quantity amounting to
the usual requirement of the bath, is
first softened by stirring into the tub
finely sifted oatmeal, into which also
is added half pint of glycerine; lastly
put into it two drops of altar of roses.
If the massage treatment be available,
use it by all means; if not, let a coarse
towel and hard rubbing serve the pur-
pose of tie massage system. This
bath is simply fine, as it softens the
skin and blends perfume into each
line Of the body. After all, to OBJ
tain it is simple thing, too, the two
drops of the altar of roses being the
greatest expense of all.-[St. Louis

The Difference.

There is one point in which city and
country people greatly differ. A city
man never speaks to a passcr-by un-
less he be an acquaintance, while in
the rural districts one meets so few
people on the roads that it is the Gus
tom to accost every passenger. Most
country people leave the rural habit

The citizen seconded the remark and
went his way, while the farmer start

everybody he met and hailing every

cars stopped at his greetings, and he
rushed out and gave the conductors a
warm hand-shake, replying to their

trcmely healthful. Nor is. this all:
