BEE COUNTY AND BEEVILLE.
New Ell Dorado for HOmeseekers and

-. INVESTORS
Bee county lies midway between the
San Antonio and Nueces rives, less than
100 miles southeast of San Antonio, 100
west of Houston, 60 from Arkansas Pass,
the future great seaport, and 200 from
the Rio Graude. The county is generally
level OF rolling prairie, but well drained
and entirely free from marshes. Black
sandy loan with clay sub-soil Is the pre-
vailing quality of soil, interspersed in
some portions with very, rich black mes
quite land. While the soil is as rich as
any in Texas, there is none but what
contains sand enough to soour on the
pillow. Bee county Will average as much
cotton to the acre as any in the state.
Picking begins month earlier and con-
tinues month later than in North Texas
Corn and oats grow well, never having
failed entirely. Wheat is but little
sown. The crop of natural mesquite hay
is something immense. Irish and sweet
potatoes. melons, pumpkins and all
kinds OF vegetables grow to great perfec-
ton. Pears, peaches, plnms, aprioots,
figs, oranges, bananas, Strawberries,
raspberries and all kinds OF small fruits
grow remarkably we'll, as demonstrated
upon the market fruit farms that are
being opened around Beeville. Bee
county has plenty of timber Tor fuel and
fencing About hree-fourths of the coun-
ty is susceptible of cultivation, though
less than 10 per cent. is now cultivated.
Raising of cattle, horses and mules has
been the chief occupation Of the people
until 1890, when the farm average has
been tenfold increased. Much attention
is given TO improving the breeds, and
stock farming is destined TO be the Lead
ing industry The billiards. chilling
blast spends its fury before reaching Bee
county and has but little influence upon

PRODUCTIONS.

Within the limits of the counties traversed
by the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass Railway
grow luxuriant crops of wheat, oats, barley,
rye, buckwheat, corn, sorghum, millet, alfal
ia, broom corn, castor beans, peas and beans
of all varieties, peaches, pears, plums, grapes,
figs, and other fruits, tomatoes and all other
vegetables, melons of every variety and great
size and lusciousness, all kinds of grasses, flow
ers and nursery stock. The grains and fruits
of the North as well as the Southern staples
are all here, and intelligent cultivation alone
is needed to make of this region the garden
spot of America.
There is not county through which this
road pssses that does not afford thousands of
acres of soil adapted to the growth of what is
above enumerated and much more.

west Texas offers such inducements to settlers
as would, if fully understood, rapidly fill this

orchards and vineyards, vegetable gardens
and root crops of all kinds. The lands through
which this road runs are very fertile, well
watered and timbered. The climate is unsur-

WORE CLERICAL CLOTHING.


The Allegheny Police Kun Down n Man Who
Has Been Deceiving Simple Girls-His
Lurid Career--Turned Over to the Pitts
burg Authorities.
James Patrick Morrison, an alleged Cath
olic priest, was arrested in Allegheny yes
terday afternoon at the instigation of Chief
Murphy. For some days past the Chief
has been receiving complaints, principally
from Catholic girls who are employed as
domestics in Allegheny families, about the
conduct OF the alleged priest. The girls
stated that he had come to them and in the
name of the Catholic Church had solicited
from them subscriptions for certain re-
ligious books. The girls. in nearly every
case, put down their names ana paid GER
tain amount OF money, and after that they
failed to hear either OF the books or the
priest. Chief Murphy detailed Detectives
Glenn and Rornman to work up the case
and yesterday afternoon the officers sue
ceeded In finding their man in a Sandusky
street saloon and laUded him in the lookup.
Mr.. Morrison was dressed in priestly habIl-
iments, wearing even the Roman collar.
He is young man, smooth shaven and
looks like a minister OF the Roman church.
Chief Murphy stated that Mr.. Morrison's s
escapades are not confined to his represent
ing priest and falsely collecting money,
but that he has wife and family living in
Lawrenceville. and there is also woman
and child in lower Allegheny whom he
sometimes lives with. Besides this he has
been paying attentions to certain young
lady in the First ward, Allegheny.
Chief Murphy learned that Mr.. Morrison
was wanted BY Magistrate McKenna on a
charge of embezzlement, and as there was no
specific charge made against him in Allie
gheny the priestly offender was turned over
to the Pittsburg authorities.
