GONE To HIS REST.
Abraham Lincoln, Died March 9Th at Hls
Fathers London Residence.

Fathers London Residence.
Abraham Lincoln, son of the Ameri-
can minister, died at his fathers resi-
dence, NO. 2 Cromwell House, South
Kensington, London, shortly after II
O'Clock on the morning of March 8,
from the effects of an operation per-
formed upon him for carbuncle under
the arm, exactly seventeen weeks and
one day before his death. Minister Lin
coin came to London May %, 1889, soon
after which young Abraham was sent to
Versailles to study French preparatory
TO q course at Harvard. When the car
buncle first appeared, the operation was
performed by Dr. Plan, but without sue
cess, and on January 18th the untortu-
nate young man was brought back TO
London in the hope that the skill of the
English physicians might save him, but
all their efforts proved unavailing.
Abraham Lincoln was in his eighteenth
year aud received his early education in
Chicago. He was an exceedingly intelli-
gent young gentleman of a most lovea-
BILE nature, and those who knew him
best had entertained bright hopes of his
future career in the United States.
The deceased youth was the only son
of Robert Todd Lincoln, the only surviv-
ing son OF President Lincoln. The body
will he deposited temporarily in the cat
acombs at KensaI, Green, whence il will
be transferred to the family tomb at
Springfield, Ill.

Correspondence of the Gazette.
FAIRFIELD, TEX, March l3.-Mr. J
E. Archmord of Dallas, Tex. has been
here for several days, aud will open up a
national bank at this place on April l.
Our town has been IN need of such an in
stitution for several years, and our peo-
pie have subscribed literally towards the
starting of this bank.
A Mr.. Pepper from Temple is also here,
trying to establish a branch office of the
loan and building association of Knox
Vile, Tenn.
The national bank is q certainty, and
will open up in less than mouth.
The citizens are coming up literally
with the loan and building association.
If we can get these two Institutions, our
little city will grow rapidly in the next
twelve months.
Besides this, our people are pulling
hard for the Fairfield and COrscana rail-
road. This road Is a necessity, and We
must have it. COrSicana, We under
stand will raise 500, 900, and Fairfield
certainly could and ought to come up
with at least $50 900. With this road, q
national bank, loan and building asso-
ciaticn, and last, but not least, a high
school, Fairfield would be one OF the best
towns in Middle Texas. We have, too,
one of the best towns in the state for q
canning factory. Fruits and vegeta bles
are almost a spontaneous growth in Free
stone county. So we say again, hurry
up the good work.

BOWIE, TEX, March 1.-the First
national bank of Bowie was organized
here this week. It succeeds the Bank Of
Bowie. q. T. Lowrie is president; B. F..
Willhite, vice president. The stock is
all owned by local citizens here, and the
board of directors are composed of the
best business men of our town. The
bank is now open for business, and starts
out with a'good prospect before it.
The fact that two national banks have
been organized here recently, shows the
prosperity of our town, yet, notwith-
standing our advantages, property is still
cheap and Bowie furnishes one of the
best chanches for investment of any place
in the West, for as town it is two years
behind the country around it.
Our people are demanding reduced
rates to the Sam Jones meeting. What
says the Denver?

How the Bank of England Avoided Profess
[Chicago News

ICnlcaSo news
A wealthy New Yorker had an exeit-
ing parley in the Bank OF England when
he presented number of notes for ex-
change into American money. eve
don t know you, sir" said the teller.
"You must be Identified. s" 81 shall
not be identified, - said the New Yorker.
'You must cash your notes or shall
make trouble. - The cashier came up
aud tried to smooth things over. He
spoke about the time honOred custom :,
etc. sat least said the cashier,
1--WE shall require you to put your name
on the back of the notes. - 81 shall do
no such thing vociferated the New
Yorker. 81 am solvent aud entirely re-
sponsible; 1 shall not endorse your pa
per, and, - taking out his watch, cum
less you accept your notes in five min
utes' time 1 shall send them to pro-
test.
This heroic treatment created a sensa-
ton in the sleepy old bank, but the notes
were cashed and the New Yorker went
his way triumphantly. He was Jay

Can Make No Lenses.

During the sitting of the convention a
telegram was sent by prominent cattle
man from Fort Worth to Secretary Noble
asking how leases were made by cattle
men from the "blanket Indians THAT
Is, Indians other than the five civilized
trlOes-and the answer came that those
Indians had no power TO make a lease of
grazing lands, and that they would not
be respected by the general government.
There are number of such leases in ex-
lstence for which the cattlemen have
paid, but 1t is evident they will get no
benefit from them.

HOW HEADS ARE CUT OFF.
One of the Coriurer's HOST Startling Tricks
Easily Explained.
New York News.

New York News.
For number of years the MASTER
pieces of some conjurers have been the
cutting off of heads. The most common
one, perhaps, is that where q country
man with "a sorter buzzing" in his head
has it cured by cutting off the offending
member. The subject takes a seat I'm q
high-back, upholstered chair. The long
back of the chair is thickly padded and
two silk cords running crosswiss on it,
one from the inner edge of either arm up
to the top corner of the opposite side
thus making a broad Y.
The subject being seated in a chair, q
large helmet or ''reCeiver' Is placed on
his head. The helmet is made of any
bright metal, has yiZor in front, and
is open at the back. After it is placed
over his head the vizor is lifted to show
that the head is there, but in reality g
dummy head is seen made up TO repre-
sent the subject. AS the performer clio Is
the viZor he tilts the helmet forward 3
little, while the subject at the same mo-
ment draws his head out of il and presses
Il against the back OF the chair, which
gives way under the pressure and tri-
angular space opens, the two sides of
which are formed by the lower portion
of the X in the padding, the base being
on line with the chair arm, where this
swinging portion OF the back Is hinged
on. On this flap, the opening OF which
is concealed by the receiver aud a towel
placed in front of il to hide the blood
~, rests the head of the subject.
The receiver is now removed and placed
on small cabinet, the towel being left

donation from Dallas to begin here very
soon with a force of seventy-five opera
tives and to move their factory here as
soon as practicable. The letter was re-

no definite action was taken, the senti-
ment appeared TO be generally in favor
of putting them underground.

REFRIGERATORS.

AT. " - hlGiu Cl w ltulld- htlu
was one of the visiting stockmen who
held over in Fort Worth after the con-
vention adjourned, and in speaking to q
reporter yesterday said:
''YOu people down here are on the
right track TO pull the cattle industry out
of the ruts. II is not so much the Big
Four, the railroads or over production
that causes the low prices for cattle to
prevail as It is Capitalization of the cattle
at one market. If there was a more
cuual distribution OF beef cattle-mOre
markets built up-you would pretty soon
see prices improve.
The establishment Of refripPrators and
packeTies will do this. After our real
estate boom was over at Wichita, things
began 10 get rather fiat, aud our people
saw that something must be done, aud
at once went TO work to get packing
house. Wichita, it is claimed, has
40 coo population and in q day we re-
ceived Sl75 900, subscribed for this pur-
pose Work was begun, the packing
house built, and during The first 100 days
OF the packing season 90, 900 head of
hogs we're packed 10y that establishment.
This was not enough. Shippers began
TO complain that there was no cOmpeti-
ton In Wlchlta-there being only one
packing house-aud we went TO work
and induced Frances Whitaker OF
ST. Louis TO build the second one. The
result was that during the next season
the two refTgeratOrs and packing
houses slaughtered III 900 head of hogs,
and on an average of fifty head of cattle
per day; and the farmers got thirty
cents more per 100 pounds for their hogs
than they had been getting previously.
1.-The reason that more beef cattle
have not been killed at Wichita than tell
you of is because proper Eastern freight
rates for dressed beef could not he Sc
cured from the railroads. The rates
will be secured though, and then
Wichita will enter in full competition
with the Eastern dressed beef men.
Texas is situated differently in this re-
spect. You have a contract with an
English syndicate, L see, for large
number of refrigerated carcasses per
auuum. This VIII be increased, of
course, and you will not have much TO
do with Eastern freight rates. You peo-
pie can start out with success assured
from The start, and IN time you will have
Il great livestock market here in Fort
Worth. -

MAY BE. BUT

The Herald says, speaking of the in- vitation claimed to have been received by the Gazette to attend the meeting of the Republican Central Committee "No such invitation was sent out" The Herald ought to know, as it's editor is one of the officers of the Central Com mittee.
 The receipt of the letter Sunday, pub lished in yesterdays REPUBLICAN, coupled with the fact that number of most staunch and loyal Republicans in the Territory had received no invitation to attend the meeting of June 21, to. gether with other questionable actions, caused TIE REPUBLICAN to believe the Gazette's assertion to be true. Nor was the political conference held yes terday between the chairman of the Central Committee, the editor of the Herald and the editor and manager of the Gazette tended to lessen that belief.
 Yet since TIE REPUBLICAN is assured that no such invitation was sent, It VIII accept that assurance in good faith Further than that it will do what any fair-minded honest man will always do--make the amende honorable. Il mistaken, then TIE REPUBLICAN apologies to the Chairman of the Re. publican Territorial Committee. But ir so doing it explicitly states that if later developments show that it was not mis taken it stands by every. word it has said.
 THE REPUBLICAN in all this matter is only actuated by desire to advance the party's interests and to that end it will ever work. Party above persons al ways.

To SPEAK of the Reno Mountain road is sufficient cause for the ringing of a chestnut bell, yet the evil is there and should be corrected. The facts in the case are that on the other side of the Mazatzal range of mountains, eighty miles from Phoenix, lies Tonto Basin. It is an immense stretch of country with farms on the bottoms and cattle on thousand hills. Agriculture is pur- sued to the extent of raising the hay and barley needed, but outside of these products all supplies must come from abroad. The nearest town is Globe, sixty-five miles from Tonto postoffice. Globe is mining town, whose supplies come by wagon from Wilcox, 40 miles distant. Prices there are naturally very high and the cattle raiser turns toward Phoenix for relief. But he finds wall before him. The flat-footed fact is that Reno mountain cannot be crossed with a loaded wagon. The United States Gov ernment has spent at least $50, 900 upon this road and by Legislative appropria- ton and private subscription fully as much more has been wasted upon it. We say wasted for the route on the further slope lies in the bottom of steep mountain gorge where the fury of the cloudburst losses around gigantic bout. ders like playthings. The route must be changed for road there must be, Starting from point about eight miles east of Mcdowell a formation ot country is encountered that leads with easy grade to the top o1 the Mazatzals, about five miles north oi the Four Peaks. Once on top there is [ natural road-bed in the shape of giant ridge that slopes gradually to Tontc creek, about nine miles from it's mouth
 Let our Maricopa Supervisors have thi' route examined and, if found practic
 able, build the road. The cost will bt returned hundred fold by the increase in the volume of business transacted.

MUSTERED OUT.

It was sad and pitiful cortege that passed along Washington street last week following the remains of poor Frank Lake to their last resting place in the city cemetery. Fifteen grey-headed veterans of the grand old Union army constituted all of that mournful process sion. Slowly, and with bowed heads, their steps kept time to the fife and muffled drum in the music of the "Dead
 March," No flag was half-masted no cessation of the busy rush of trade; no stop in the chatf or light laughter of the street throng. Few were the doors that were closed as the little funeral train passed by. Not many seemed to know or care that one who had barred his breast to that shock of war from which
 they today enjoy an undivided country
