BRowSwOop COUNTRY,


Mir John A Wellington, a commercial
traveller of Baltimore, Nd, is in the city
from a tour of the Brownwood and San An
gclO countries on horseback. He is in love
with the country, and states that the crop
outlook is simply immense. He reports I'M
migrants arriving in the section in large
nun hers, and states that the country will
soon be thickly settled IN regard to the
air of progress throughout the state: he
said Il have Travelled in Texas for five
years; but this trip has impressed ire with
the wonderful improvement going on all
over the state. To see such q vast state as
Texas. with thousands of acres of wild
lands, settling Up so rapidly, is almost mi
raculous. In fifteen years from this date,
if the present immigration movement con-
tinues, Texas viii have population of
5000, 900 people, and this statement is now
made in the face of the fact that the state
now enjoys only 2, 500, 900 inhabitants.'

this line will show on May Il that to my
untiring efforts more than to those of any
one else will be due in . large part the prac
teal ideas and sentiments in favor Of Il
united effort by all Texas in this great
work. My speeches have all been burdened
with this sentiment, as well as my articles
in THE GAZETTE. Galveston and
Dallas News, Houston Post, San An
tonic Express and other Texas papers.
The Dallas exhibit advertising cars are
only incidents to this great Worlds fair
movement. They are to give Texas the
grandest send off before the exposition
opens and prepare the way for our ex-
hibit at Chicago. The convention at Fort
Worth will feel the influence of my efforts
IL the direction of practical organization of
an assured Texas exhibit. This is not
Boosting, but simple truth and justice.

Mr. IA Green, VINO has travelled over
Texas extensively, states to What-Not that
the Panhandle IS the garden spot Of the
universe, and that it is his opinion that in
ten years every county of the Panhandle
will be as thickly settled as Ellis county.
He says that the prospects for j grain crop
were never better, and that a large crop is
now certainty. Speaking of cotton, he
said: While the Panhandle is being adj
rertised as the great wheat belt OF the
state, am satisfied that cotton can also be
cultivated almost Us successfully as in the
Brazos bottom. The land is very fertile,
and almost all agricultural products can be
produced in great quantities

There Can be No West against the East in
Politics.

KANSAS CITY. Mo, April 23.-Cornelius

route from Omaha TO St. Louis. Before
the party took its departure, Depew, in an
interview. said that The Vanderbilts had no
intention Of paralleling the Union Pacific,
IS had been reported
Dcpew in summing up his view of the po-
itical situation, predicted that President
Harrison would be renominated and re-
elected.
Regarding the Western congress recently
held in this city, he said there could be no

proposition. he said. was peanut politics
originating from picayune craftsmanship.

uArK Irown, MS eyes gIoomiIy quesuon-
ing ROsalie's face. He seemed TO be re-
pressing a great rush Of anger or some
other wicked emotion His face was a
lawless. almost reckless one for the mo-
ment A mood Of the mountain life
was upon him RoSalie felt rather than
saw this. for she had merely glanced at
his face. In her own mind all the
strange dark thoughts of the past few
weeks had leaped up anew.
Julian looked back and forth, from
the man to the girl and from her to him,
weight gathering in his bosom. AS
lawyer he had been keen student of
human nature and of human faces. He
was conscious of the existence of COM
mon thought between these two: it
greatly irritated him. He was not pre-
pared for such an interruption. Then,
too. Ellis bearing was intolerable: it
was evidently meant to be insulting.
Such a situation could not last long.
Ellis rallied and said to Rosalie:
Your uncle, Mr.. Roosevelt-shall
probably find him at his Officer"
"Yes. | believe he and Mr.. Largely
are there; but won't you sit down with
us awhile?" she responded, with an effort
to be bright and cheerful.
mo, ! will come back, perhaps" he
said. He flashed glance at Julian, and
bowling low before Rosalie in the old
southern way, walked through the hall
and out of the house. The true impress
sion of this short interview is hard to
give in words. In Rosalie's mind it had
a significance which she did not like to
consider. She had read in the face of
Ellis some dark resolve which might end
in another deed of revenge. She turned
to Julian, pale and trembling, and laid
her hand upon his arm, then hesitated a
moment. Finally:
Promise to ask me no questions and !
will tell you something, she quavering-
ly murmured.
"Of course | promise" he promptly
replied, presentiment of evil falling
duskily into his mind.
"You must watch Mr.. Ellis; he is a
very, very dangerous man." she added,
her voice falling into whisper, which
thrilled HIM strangely.
"Oh, that will he all right, shall not
trouble him." said Julian, in a great
hurry to return to the point where Ellis
had interrupted him. "You must tell
me now if you love me, Rosalie-Miss
Chenier. The whole joy of my life de-
pends on lido not refuse me-answeI
me, tell me now"
Il cannot think now-l do not know
what to say to you," she exclaimed.
"Let me go, please-let me be all alone
for awhile. You must not talk to me
about-about this now."
She took step or two backward as il
going to run away, then stopped and
added, II am dizzy" putting her hanG
to her head; 81 am faint"
He sprang to her side, but she pushed
him away, more with a gesture than 6
touch.
Excuse mel am ill--Iet me 90 tC

turning into the hall tottered up stairs
To Julian all this was surprisingly
strange. He could see no cause for suct
excitement. He was standing all be
wildered, gazing up the great winding
stairs when Mrs. Roosevelt came int
the hall, her visitors having gone.
81 believe Miss Chenier is sick

out to walk and think. He was ittl

Crossing the Pequabuck river on South
Main street in Terryville there has just
been completed an iron bridge, which is
unique in design and worth the atten-
tion Of town officials throughout the
state. as it is the only one Of the kind
known to be in existence. With the ex-
c5ption of the plank flooring and few
comparatively small castings, the bridge
is made entirely of old railroad iron. 1t
is truss bridge. having a span of 10
feet. The roadway is 80 feet wide, and
in addition it has a sidewalk s feet
broad, the whole surface being covered
with concrete.
The bridge rests upon stone abut-
ments. on each of which an iron rail
rests and forms the 'mudsills." Upon
these the strings, which are also old
iron rails, are laid OF these there are

at equal distances Of 81 feet apart An
other rod or spindle" across the center,
Ender and at right angles with the
stringers, is supported BY iron rods de-
pending from the trusses. which also
support the bridge.
Each Of the trusses is formed by two
rails. the ends Of which are fitted into
solid iron castings made Of especial
shape to receive them, and meeting at
the center of the bridge are also held to-
gether by similar castings through which
