WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-The census office
to-day issued a bulletin containing statistics
of the range cattle industry in the United
States. not including the cattle on farms.
Since the census of 1850 great changes have
taken place in the industry of range cattle.
Large areas once used as ranges ara
now inclosed as farms, and cattle are driven
TO new and distant feeding grounds. A
large part Of Texas, Colorado, Oregon,
Washington and California, one-third OF
Kansas and one-half of Nebraska have beer
converted into farms during tho
last decade. Owing to the difficulty ia
exactly defining the lines of range and farIg
stock. and to avoid duplication. only stock
known to be outside of farm stock are in.
Guided in this bulletin. 1t is found that in
June, 1890, upon the ranges were oil, 2ls
horses, 5433 mules, 14,109 asses or
burros, 6,s2S, 1S2 cattle, 600 903

Special 10 the Gazette.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 12-The state depart
ment and Count Won Munster, charge daft
fares for Germany, have about'completed a
treaty under the new tariff law, by which
Germany would allow the entry of wheat
flour, bottled and canned meats, etc, into
ali her ports under special
and u low duty in return -or
free entry into the United States
of German sugar. Under the Mckinley
tariff law, the admission, free of duty 10
this country, of beet sugar manufactured
by foreign countries was authorized, but
provision gave the president authority
To suspend after January !, 1872,
the operations of the law with
respect to countries that did not grant us
some concession in return for allowing their
beet sugar free entry. Germany sends
more beet sugar TO the United States than
amy other country does. and the removal o.
the duty on that article has proved a large
Item IN German trade. No effort
was made by Germany, however, TO retain
the concession granted by this country I'M
I'll the negotiations resulting in the removal
of restrictions on the admission of Ameri-
can pork into Germany had been concluded.
These negotiations opened the way for
trading on the beet sugar question and mat
tiers have assumed position where the adj
mission into Germany, free of duty Of sOme
one cereal, wheat in all proabiiity, or OF
more than one cereal at Il very low rate OF
duty. will probably be negotiated. Said a
high state department otlicicia, who must
remain unnamed for good reasons, in talk
ing to your correspondent: The treaty
does not allow the free entry of American
cereals because 10 do that would
give America monopoly, and besides
Germany could not discriminate against
other countries and make the United States
the most favored nation. What the treaty
does accomplish, however, is securing
q special rate for American cereals,
flour, wheat, rye, etc. The new agreement
does contain q provision as to bottled or
canned meats or cereals. / cannot give the
rate under the treaty, because it is not
known except to very few, and will not be
known until the treaty is promulgated"

peace, happiness and prosperity of our
Zion. thus demoralizing our youth.
it is blighting the happiness OF
our homes. and it is sadly threatening
the peace and prosperity of our churches all

the attitude of every true Baptist to the
mighty evil should be an uncompromising
and even an aggressive warfare.

Special to the Gazette.
MINEoLA, WooD COUNTY, Ten, Oct 10
The fourth day of the fair was blessed with
beautiful day. The attendance in the
forenoon was light, but in the afternoon
quite crowd turned out to see the races.
There is one exhibit that has all through
the fair attracted the attention of every
paSSer-by. &
This exhibit is collection of relics of
early days and is displayed by Capt. c. H.
Halnes, very prominent farmer living
nine miles east of this place.
There are two different nations, Spanish
and Indian, represented in this col
lection. The Spanish consists of
gun barrels which were found
with the muZZles mashed, together with
several old gun locks, various pieces of
copper with bullet holes in them suggestive
of sporting of some kind, some bullets,
tomahawks and old knife blades without
springs. One piece of this copper resem-
bles a cross. with the words ''Sacre Patria''
inscribed on it. One piece of coin was
found dating back to 1917 A. D. The In
dian relics were the following: Pipes of
the finest red rock, fiints, metal arrows,
spikes, large quantity of beautiful beads
of all colors, mortars, pestles and
whetrocks. These relics were found near
one of the largest springs in North or East
Texas. Some of these specimens We're
found thirty years ago. The captain thinks
that at this spring was fought fierce bat
tie between DeSoto and the Indians
when he was on his gold hunt.
Capt Haines intends in the near future to
send this collection to the historical depart
ment at Austin.
