Mr.. A. L. Welch, who was, for number OF
years, a merchant in New York state. stopped
here while his way to Salt Lake city to locate,
and was so well pleased with the outlook that he
concluded to go no further west, but to locate.
He has let the contract for large store and
will go East for the purpose Of buying a large
stock of merchandise.
DR.. W. D. Patten, Of Van Alstyne, has moved

the country that he has returned home, viii re-

once.
These are only a few of the prominent citizens
of North and East Texas that are coming on
these plains to locate. They are tired of paying
out much for doct or's bills as they have to in
East Texas.
In conclusion I will say that the great boom
this town is enjoying is not another ''South Sea
Bubble that will soon explode, but it is based
on the fact of this being small town in great
big country which is settling very fast, and
which will soon need o market for thousands OF
bushels of small grain that will be marketed
here every year.

AN ENGLISH SYNDICATE.
It Secures Control of Bal'imora's BrpwerIes,
and is Now Negc tbs ting for Her Canning
and Packing Houses.

BALTIMORE, MD. March 1.-THE Sun
says that Jacob s. Rosenthal recently re-
turned from London, where he placed
the city of Baltimore breweries. He is
now actively engaged in perfecting plans
of the large English syndicate to obtain
a controlling interest in the canning and
packing houses of Baltimore. Only the
contracts and deeds, says Rosenthal, re-
main to be signed. Mr.. Ebert Thorn
son of the canned goods exchange as
sisted Mr.. Rosenthal in his plans. Nearly
50 per cent. of the oyster and fruit pack
ing houses of Baltimore are to be in
cluded in the syndicate. These repre-
sent an annual output OF capital OF be-
tween fifteen and twenty millions of dol
lars. Competition in this business has
caused a serious shrinkage Of profits dur
ing the past five years.

The recent election in Salt Lake City,
which gave the Gentiles supremacy
above the Mormons, is regarded as
the beginning of the end of Mormouism
as political institution. TO the subject
of this sketch the result is largely attrib.
utable.
Gen. P. Edward Conner, in 1899, at
the age Of nineteen enlisted IN the Flor
ida war in the First dragons. He served
five years. In 1916 he Joined a Texas
regiment and was co mmissioned cap
tain. The young soldier participated in
several battles of the Mexican war aud
was wounded at Buena Vista. He re-
fused to leave the field, and for this gall
liant conduct was given full captain s
pension. On the outbreak of the civil
war he rendered his services
to the governor OF Cali
fornia, who appointed him colonel
of the Third California infantry. He
assumed command OF the district of
Utah in August, 1862, and arrived at
Salt Lake City October 20 and established
Camp (now Fort) Douglas. In January,
1868, he fought the battle of Bear River,
Idaho, most sanguinRry Indian fight.
He was promoted to brig adler general
AdINH 81 Tie sdiuS year 4OI kdildub COE-
duct at this battle, and received letter
from Gen. Grant, dated May 4, 1865,

Fort WORTH. Tex, March Z, 1890.
Editor Gazette:
notice in the daily issue of March 4
an article headed County Seat War, -
published in the Fort Worth GAZETTE,
which 1 will say has no truth in regard
to the matter of fancy county, Mo.
l. The Bald Knobbers and anti Bald
Kuobbers does not split on the county
seat question. 1t is the east part and
the west part of the county that splits
both Bald Knobbers and anti Bald
Knobbers. At the last session OF the
legislature the state appropriated $4,000
for the purpose of building O courthouse
IN fancy county. Our collector has
turned into the county treasury $4,000 IN
one month. Now as 10 the locality of
the county seat, Forsyth Is the county
seat, and there is no dispute about that;
aud, as stated in the issue of March 4,
there were several petitions filed with
me PRAYING for an election TO move
the county seat to fancy City, Mo-, >,
the oldest city In the county, and has
whole city. The judge that was de-
manded to appear, as stated on March
4 was not to decide the courthouse ques-
ton, but to receive the assessor 8 books
for the year 1890. That judge was de-
manded and appeared January %, 1890,
and received and approved the assessor
books. The fighting that took place
in Forsyth mentioned in the arti-
Gle of March 4, was over a law
suit in q justice of the peace court.
There were two fights and the lights were
blown out. And further, the statement
about the county Indebtedness Is false.
The county is in debt over $40 900 in
stead of SIS 900. l deny the whole ar
ticle in the issue OF March 4. 1890.
Our county needs justice. but some
parties will degrade our county TO the
last and then live there and curse the pa
pers after writing the article in regard TO
the county affairs.
Now, there il one thing I will not
deny. The state did appropriate the
$4,000 to build the courthouse in fancy

TRADE REVIEW.
Slight improvement Is No'ed in Most Lines,
While Some Are Less Satistactory-Ds-
crease In Business Failures.

NEW YORK, March 7.-R. G. Dun s.
Co. 8 weekly review of trade says:
The state of trade has not materially
altered during the past week, though
the change of weather has produced
much temporary improvement in some
lines, and in others trade is less satisfac-
tory than a week ago. The monetary
situation is much more satisfactory
Notwithstanding the fact that the cash
actually held by the treasury is So
200, 900 more than last week, for rates
on call here have declined from to
80 per cent, and foreign exchange
has risen from 4.8519 to 4.SG18. The
interior money markets are generally
steady, but on the whole q shade more
easy. At Boston there Is still and Is
expected TO be some pressure until
April, but the feeling is better, and
commercial paper commands about
per cent. Wooden manufacturers
do not appear to have changed
much in condition or prospect,
though better sales of heavy weights are
noted at Boston, while lighter goods are
quiet. Sales OF woods there are larger,
25S ZOO pounds for the week, with prices
unchanged, and it is thought the bottom
has been touched, but prices are de-
pressed at Philadelphia, and early ex-
pectation of new and large supplies leads
holders to make concessions.
Business failures during the last seven
days are 260, as against Is total of 3Ol
last week. For the corresponding week
OF last year the failures were 28l.

the forest to Lake Albert Nyanza, Lieut..
Stairs accompanied him as second in
command. and no officer of the expedi-
ton performed greater services in the
arduous march or deserves q larger share
of praise for its successful accomplish
ment. On August 10, 1887, at Air Sibba,
the natives attacked the camp in a reso-
lutte and determined fashion Lieut..
Stairs and five men were wounded by the
arrows Of the natives, which are tipped
with deadly poison; but Lieut. Stairs

from an arrow the posion of
which was dry, and he re-
covered strength after three weeks. al
though the wound was not closed for
months. On December IL in Mazam-
boni 5 country, he commanded the larger
force, to drive away host of enemies at
tempting TO stop the expedition as il came
near the lake. Lieut.. Stairs was employed
in erecting Fort Bodo, Of which he was
left IN command on June Is, 1888. In

has proved himself competent. Without
reference to his personal interest he Is
fully alive and works with a will for the

pie, there Is not money enough in the

Hare-Bailey,

SHERMAN, TEX. March G.-Interest in
the coming congressional campaign in

political solons predict that the race will
be the wa-mest for many years. 1t
seems TO be settled that Mr.. Hare's only
opponent will be Hon. j. w. Bailey of
Cooke, but it is the general opinion that
the present incumbent will have big job
on his hands to defeat the long haired
orator from Gainesville. Col. c. B.
Randell of this county and Judge Potter
of Cooke would each like to have Judge
Hare's berth, but they are now con-
sidered out of the ring. Judge Hare has
already begun to pull his wires, and it is
q business which he thoroughly under
stands. Indications point strongly to the
fact that Congressman Hare will succeed

vehicle, the clergyman standing on the
sidewalk, the ceramoney which united
the swain for life was said. They then
drove to the lady's residence, and
nothing was known of the affair for an
hour or more after it was over. or

Some idea of the increase Of bushes

Some idea of the increase of business
at Hot Springs can be gained from a
study of following figures relating to
tho business done at Hot Springs post
Office. From June Both 1888 to June
30th 1889, twelve months, the increase
of business was a little above IS per
cent. From June Both 1889 to Dccem.
Der 3lst, six months, the increase was 40
PER cent. From December 31st 1889
to June 30th 1890, six months, the in
crease was 165 per cent. From June
Both, 1889, to June 30th, 1890, a wear,
the increase was 224 per cent. That is
to say tnat in June this year the busi-
ness was nearly three and n half
times that of June 1889. 1t is a we'll
known fact that the business.of a post
Office is a reliable index to the amount
of business done in a community in
which the p%ostofice is located, and
upon that basis it can be said that Hot
Springs is doing nearly four times the
business done one year ago.

Jonsey, poor fellow, after laying
awake all night trying to think of
something that he might call smasber
on the STAR, fired this at us as a clinch-
er: "Three times as many advocates
go to the Hot Springs a there are
STARS comes to Oelrichs."
This declaration only proves what
the STAR stated last week, that the
Adcocate had afflicted Oelrichs until she
was nearly depopulated. Everybody
knows that all the Adrocate,s subscrib.
ers at Oelrichs, and nearly all the
srAR's subscribers at that burg have
moved to Hot Springs, either perma-
nently or temporarily. This accounts
for the Adrocate's large list ut Hot
Springs and the SrAR's small list at
Oelrichs.
