One Of the most interesting and

One of the most interesting and
profitable investigations recently
undertaken by our government is
that of the artesian wells of the
srid lands. The people of the
pains are eager for information
on the subject, for many of the
wells sunk have proved failures,
but the report of the officials
charged with looking into the mat
ter show that in Dakota, Colorado,
New Mexico and other parts of
the west, the wells have generally
been successful. The officer in
charge of the party says that the
artesian wells are revolutionizing
the Dakotas. AS he rode through
these states he saw here and there
on farms large ponds or lakes, and
when he inquired for the source
of supply he found it was almost
always an artesian well somewhere
in the vicinity. In other places
he saw streams of water flowing
through culverts in the railroads,
and found they came from arte-
sian wells. He made inquiries as
to the use of the artesian water for
irrigation, and was told by those
who had tried it that the results
were good.
Next to the discoveries in the
Dakotas, the most important con-
illusions were developed in Color
ado. In the San Luis Valley, a
fertile tract thirty miles long, Col.
Nettleton found 5000 artesian
wells. They are not as deep as
those in the Dakotas, and the
pressure is not as strong, but a
good, steady flow of water is OBJ
tanned. These farmers use the ar
terrain water for irrigation. Some
bore their own wells. 1t is only
necessary to go down from so to
300 feet and a good stream of wa
ter flows. Some farmers bore
with machinery of their own con-
irving.

There has been much specula-
ton up to this time as to the
route on which the Fort Worth
and Rio Grande road viii be built
after the work of extending it
from Comanche begins. That
| it will be extended from there of
course there is no donbt, and The
Gazette has frequently taken occa-
sion to state that its objective
point on the Rio Grande river was
Eagle Pass. This was not mere
guess work, but the statement was
founded on statements of well
posted parties, and the fact that at
that point a desirable connection
could be formed with system of
Mexican railroads. From Conan
che to Eagle Pass the most direct
route would be in a southwest
wardly direction, passing through
the counties of Mills, San Saba,
Llano Gillespie, Bandera, Uyal-
de and Maverick. From Comfort,
right on the line Of Kerr and
Kendall counties, up to LIano
there has been, with the exception
of a few miles, a line of road grad
ed, which work could be utilized
BY the Rio Grande road should
this route be adopted, and it has
been frequently stated that l.
would be. Brentwood has been
working hard to secure the build
ing of the road to that point, but
no positive assurance has been
given that it would be. the very
best encouragement that town hav-
ing received being; IF the main
line is not built to Brentwood, a
branch will be built to it after
awhile. In fact it will be almost
that such be done
Where will the road go then, af-
tel it leaves Comanche? No def
mite information has been given
out yet, but after taking all things
into consideration, the character
Of the country, the relative posi-
tons of Comanche and Eagle
Pass, to which point the road will
be built, it looks as it is almost
certain that the Fort Worth and
Rio Grande road viii touch the
towns OF Goldthwaite OF Hfuiiens, /
and from there run on down TO
San Saba, Llapo, Fredericksburg,
Comfort, and on to Eagle Pass by
the most direct route.
It is pretty certain. too, that the
Austin and Northwestern road
will be extended from Barnet to
and probably there viii, in
The near future, be another road

The spice is so easily adulterated that
few if any manufacturers can withstand
the temptation. Ground slate is one of
the neatest pepper adulterants, and it is

Burnet, Texas, July 23.-Your

way, the recent purchaser Of the
Austin and Northwestern railroad,
as to his plans and the probable
extension of the road to Llano.

of the road took place July l,
1890, but that he would not as

the present year. He also stated
that his engineering corps were

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL.

1t is estimated that the census of 1890
will show that the American people are
producing useful products to the value of
not less than $14 900, 900, 900 annually, of
which about 500, 900 900, or 5 per cent,
are exported. The value of our manu-.
featuring and mining products Is, in
round numbers, 81, 900, 900, 900, of which
about two per cent. are exported. Thus
the home market takes from 95 to 9S per
cent. of all our products. Yet the free
trader will claim that it would be wise
policy to sacrifice the home market for
the sake of fostering the small per cent
of foreign trade. Is it not better to keep
the rich prize which we now have than
to cast it aside for the comparatively
paltry bauble of the free traders ?-Roch-
ester Chronicle Rep.).
What grand tribute to perfect free
dom of trade! The most tremendous
volume of production the world has ever
seen, the above, has grown up under the
economic conditions imposed by the fol-
lowing
"No tax or duty shall be laid on articles
exported from any State. No preference
shall be given, by any regulation of COM
merce or revenue, to the ports of one
State over those of another; nor shall
vessels bound to or from one State be
obliged to enter, clear or pay duties in an
other" Constitution of the U. s., Art.
l, Sec. TX, Paragraph 5.
'No State shall, without the consent of
Congress, hyGny imposts or duties on i'm
ports or exports, except what may be alb
soutely necessary for executing its in
spection laws r." Constitution
of the U, S., Art. l, Sec. X, Paragraph 2.
That is to say, the Constitution of the
United States compels absolute and per-
feet freedom of trade between States ex-
tending over an area nearly as large as
the whole of Europe, of interests as
widely divergent as any of the nationali-
ties of the Old World, of populations
almost equally dissimilar. The planter
OF Georgia and Mississippi can send his
cotton to New England and receive ma
chinery, clothing and all the manufac-
tured necessaries of life back again with
out any obstruction from the barbarisms
OF trade perpetrated between nations
under the pretence of Protection"

Similarly, when the progress of discov-
cry has shown that enormously valuable
deposits of iron ore and coal underlie the
soil of many Southern States, they are
permitted free access to all the States of
the Union, although in so doing they may
knock the bottom out of older markets
and cheaper products beyond anything
hitherto dreamed of in that section.
These are the conditions under which the
enormous development of these United
States have been carried forward.
But please observe one circumstance,
esteemed monopolistic Rochester brother,
although but small percentage of the
agricultural products of this land are ex-
ported, that small tail end of the market
wags the whole dog and brings down
prices to uniform figures all around,
thus compelling our farmers to take
the same price and not a cent more
for their staples than all other farmers of
the world get for theirs. This, beloved,
is sexactly equivalent to Free Trade for our
farmers in what they sell, though, as you
know, everything they buy is protected"
chat is, taxed) for the benefit of a small
coterie of monopolists and manufacturers.
Heads win, tails | lose" is the game
the monopolists have been playing the
farmers these many days, but the end
will soon come. The Campaign of Edu-
cation is going bravely on and will not
stop till every man occupies just the same
position in the eyes of the law and of our
commercial system that every other man
does, and when no one shall be permitted
to use the power of public taxation for
his private enrichment.
''Thou shalt not steal" is very old
rule, but we have seen nothing to cause
us to change our mind as to its propriety
or to make us think robbery is any bet
ter or more justifiable when done under
color of law, with all the solemnity
that attends the acts of great govern
ment or under the fondly delusive name
of Protection to American Labor"

Early Sunday morning the saloon, on
the corner of Main and Centre streets,
kept by Edward Murphy was broken
into, and considerable quantity of
liquor, cigars, hams and other articles
taken away.
The entrance into the saloon was
effected by breaking the cellar window
and getting up stairs. The parties made
a great effort to get money, as was evil
dent by the way that all drawers and
cupboard were broken and tossed about.
Not finding any money they next turned
their attention to the stock of liquors and
helped themselves pretty freely. Mr..
Murphy left the saloon at II o'clock on
Saturday night and returned again be-
tween and the next morning. He
Immediately gave the alarm, and Bur
gres Cowen, together with four other
special police, began an investigation,
and later in the day warrants were issued
by T. A. Buckley, J. p, for the arrest of
Edward Goodman, Manus Dougan, Chas.
Sharpe and Patrick Ferry. They were
given hearing and remanded until 10
a. m. on Monday morning, when the
parties were broughtup. Witnesses were
heard and the parties committed to the
county Jail to await the next term of
court.

Two Victims of the Rail.

Lloyd Thrash, who has been employed
on the Lehigh Valley railroad as brake
man, but who was conducting freight
train for the past week, was killed at
Fairview on Saturday evening. For
some reason he stepped from his train
and was walking ON the track on which
a fast train was running, and, not MOTTO
ing the approach of the engine, was
struck and instantly killed. The remains
were taken to Hazleton, where his
mother resides, and interment was made
in Conyngham on Tuesday. Mr.. Thrash
was well known in this vicinity, having
resided in Freeland for number OF
years. He is a brother of Proprietor
Thrash of the Central hotel.
A strange accident is recorded in the
deaths of Mr.. Thrash and Mr.. Stack
house who were killed on the same road
and near the same place within forty
eight hours. Mr. Stackhouse, who wa,
killed on Friday evening, was on duty il
Mr.. Thrash's place, and was killed by
the train parting and falling under thu
cars, and Mr.. Thrash was killed on Sat
urday evening, very near the same place
while filling the position made vacant BY
the death of Mr.. Stackhouse.
