UNIQUE SCHEME TO SECURE FAC
TORIES.

ST., PAUL, MINI, March 3I.-The st. Paul in
dustrial union has developed gigantic scheme
TO bring manufacturing establishments to the
city. The joint stock of the union is to be
$1,000, 600, each member to take shares to the
extent Of $4,000, payable in installments Of per
cent. per month, thus insuring the payment of
the entire 81 900, 600 in fifty months. Fifty men
have already pledged themselves to take
5000 each. The union feels that it will be able
to find enough men in the city to take the re-
mainder of the stock. This 81, 600, 900 of paid-up
capital will not only be used to buy stock in
worthy manufacturing enterprises which are es-
tablished here, but will be loaned to concerns
already established which need only some
sistance in the WY of money to carry them on to
success. This will illustrate the plan of loaning:
is manufacturer and wants a loan OF $1,000.
The money is furnished him and he gives bonds
for the payment. These bonds are put up for
sale to the members of the union and the hi CHEST
bidder takes them, and thus relieves himself
and the union from double liability.
The above associated press telegram
is headed a unique scheme-and yet it's
singularity is but cooperation, organi-
zation and public spirit. These st. Paul
people are business men and they know
that dollar invested for and in the
town returns dividend to each man in
that town. The principle Of "hold on
and give nothing' never yet made a
city aud never will. Such principle
may do for one or two men in a COM
muuity where all the other people are
public spirited; but when the whole pop
ulation stops working for the town and
recognizes such principle as the true one,
the town and all the people in it are
losers and go backward rather than for

DID New York stop when she had
/ 800 900 population, and stood head
above all American cities? No. She bid
$40 900, 900 for the Worlds fair and lost
it, and has been kicking herself ever
since that she did not make greater ef-
fort. Should Fort Worth stop, when she
has gained population of So, 900? If
she does, she will go backward. Fort
Worth wants store houses and jobbing
merchants; but the pushers say, ''we
are tired; now, let the mossbacks do
some work, or let the town go to hades. -
1t is true that what the nossbaoks have,

anime the records at our courthouse, and
examine the tin boxes in our banks, and
you will see it Ia the pushers that have

There was quite contest in the Second
ward on alderman, w Il. Featherston
being the successful candidate, beating
his opponent, d. c. Pattan, who Is the
present alderman, by a small majority.
Our little city will soon put on city

mence the erection of a new $40 ,0UO
schoolhouse. Waterworks will be COM
meDced within the next thirty days and
an electric light plant will also be put in.
Several new additions will be added to
our city and the streets put IN good
shape. WoTsham avenue will be opened
and extended two miles east, to East
Fork, and when this avenue is opened
and properly graded the avenue will be
about five miles long. 1t Is proposed to
make this one of the finest streets or
avenues in North Texas.
The boom is now OH us and it will be
kept up. Col 81. Berry of AberIiue kan,
has purchased 1000 acres of the Orange
county school lands from l. n. Groves,
lying two miles south of our city. 1t will
be cut up in small tracts and settled by
families from Kansas.
Our citizens were q little surprised
when the news was received that the
cattlemen. consisting of J P. Adding
ton, Suggs, Burnett and the many
others, had received orders to remove
their cattle from the Comanche and
Kiowa reservation in the Indian Terri
tory. 1t makes severe hardship on
them and also hardship on some of our
business firms. large trade in ranch
supplies is had with the cattlemen IN
that portion of the Indian Territory.

RELATING to Southern iron as 1t has
been shipped to that city, the Pittsburg
Iron World intimates that 1t is only
foundry iron, having an excess of sulphur
and phosphorus that renders it unfit for
making steel, also that this difficulty will
continue until Southern manufacturers
adopt the basic process. 1t adds:
''It is plain. too, that this fact is becoming
recognized in the South and plants in which the
basic process is to be employed are being estab-
lished. The Henderson steel manufacturing
company viii soon make its first run of steel
from furnace located at North Birmingham,
Ala, using process similar to the basic, by
which it proposes to make steel from the pig iron
of that district. The Southern iron company is
preparing TO make ESQ tons of steel per day by
the basic process in its mills at Chattanooga,
Tenn. With the success of those plants may
come the solution Of the steel problem in the

HOW HECKER CAPTURED IOWA IN 1888.
The great attraction at the Palace is
the Elgin band, and the management of
the Palace are united in the opinion that
the band is composed of just as good men
as it is of good musicians. The band is
now giving three concerts day, morn
ing, afternoon and evening, and there
ism It anything too much for the mem
bers to do to add to the entertainment of
the crowds now thronging the Palace.
And Of course everybody who visits the
Corn Palace desires an opportunity of
hearing this famous combination. An
Elgin band concert, to any one who has
music in his soul, is worth more than the
price of ADMISSION. It is grand music,
and the programmes given are of such
variety as to afford the most delightful
series of instrumental concerts ever Civ
en- in Sioux City. Thoroughly qualified
critics say that it is doubtful if anywhere
on the continent there is band the
equal of the Elgin. One can imagine
himself pretty close to heaven in the
Corn Palace with the Elgin band -

Greenville Banner: From our Texas
exchanges it appears that the different
sections of the state will be well repre-
sented at the Fort Worth Spring Palace.
These exhibitions of Texas products and
resources attract great deal of attention
from interested parties abroad, and al
Vertise the state more effectually than
can be done in any other way. That en-
terprislng city deserves great credit for
its activity and liberality in building and
equiping its beautiful Spring Palace
The whole state should take an interest
in this exhibition of its resources, and
patronize it literally.

The provisions for an exclusive official

cause they hinder and impede the
exercise of the elective franchise IN
reasonably and discriminate against the

on an elector ballot not authorized and

they prevent an illiterate voter from

Fort WORTH has made many small
mistakes, and did not get hurt seriously.
But small mistakes and large mistakes
are quite different in their effect upon ali
kinds of bodies. Fort worth must at
once be provided with dwellings, stores,
and jobbing merchants, TO meet her
absolute wants, and if she does not get
them. the result will be big mistake.
