GRAIN MOVING IN TEXAS
The Crops are Bountiful and the Farmers
Selling.

The railroad companies interested in
Southern traffic report fine condition of
affairs throughout Texas, says the Kansas
City Times. The crops of wheat and oats
are immense and the outlook for corn is
good. The wheat and oats and other early
products are ready for market and are
being moved as rapidly as possible The
farmers of Texas are not holding back
grain, but are getting it out of the way as
soon as 1t Is ready for sale. The railroads
doing business through that section report
that the business is up to their full capac-
ity. The grain IS moving to New Orleans.
Memphis and the Seaboard
The days are past when Texas grain goes
very far out of Texas for final start across
the ocean. and the facilities of Texas sea-
ports are increasing to such an extent that
they may soon be in position TO handle all
the exports III the Southwest
The Immediate removal of grain from
Texas means something, too. for Missouri
ard Kansas. Most of the wheat and other
small grain will be sold in month or two
and as soon as the corn is matured and
ready it will follow the small grain to the
best market. Good prices are being re-
ceived now for the Texas crops and there is
little reason for holding back grain 1t can
not be kept in Texas as it can in Missouri
and Kansas on account Of the warm weather.
Texas and all the Southern country then
naturally becomes home market for Mis-
souri, and Kansas grain

DURKEE's CASE.
The Unfortunate Man Is Committed
to the Stockton Asylum.

The Unfortunate Man Is Committed
to the Stockton Asylum.
J. +. Durkee, the we'll known stock
man, was yesterday committed to the
insane asylum at Stockton by Judge
Smith. The unfortunate man was taken
before the court on complaint issued
at the instance of his brother, T. L.
Durkee."
The examining physicians were Drs.
Brainerd, Ramon and Powers, and after
very careful diagnosis they expressed
the opinion that Mr.. Durkee should be
placed in an institution for treatment
He has developed a tendency to commit
suicide, and was taken into custody not
long since for an attempt on his life in q
room at the Nadeau. Heis at times also
inclined to destroy everything he sees
and the physicians regard him as dan.
gerous when suffering from one of these
attacks.
The first indication of insanity devel-
oped about year ago when the sufferer
tried to suicide. Physicians who have
attended him say that his mind has
been destroyed by the 'ravages of a
chronic disease from which he has suf-
fered for years. Mr.. Durkee is married
man but has no children. He is 46 years
of age and native of Missouri.
His relatives have taken measures to
provide for his comfort and will pay for
the treatment he receives. The court
appointed Joseph Trasker, a brother-in-
law of the unfortunate man, as his guar

A whole lot OF married men will agree
that their lives would be much happier
if they had married their mother-in-
law instead of her daughter.
One young Los Angelehos did that
very thing. No, not exactly that, but
he married the woman he once wanted
to make his mother-in-law.
A year or so ago, widow.-a charm-
ing widow-came to this city with two
lovely daughters. The widow had a lot
OF money, and the girls were fascinating
so the young gentleman, who has hot
southern blood in his veins, fell in love
with one of them, proposed and was &C.
copied. He then went to see "mama'
about the matter. "Mama" coolly
asked him how much money he had.
Every little" he truthfully answered.
She thought moment and replied,
"You are very desirable young man.
like you exceedingly, bat for reasons
which it is not necessary for me to give,
cannot allow you to marry my
daughter"
He raved and stormed. She was
placid and determined.
He swore to be revenged on her if he
had to devote his life to that object.
She politely said good day, packed her
trunks, and with her daughters, left. In
few months she had them both mar
ried off, and she returned to this city.
She was younger than ever. She was
round and plump and enticing.
The young man planned many
schemes of revenge. He thought he was
still in love with the daughter and the
cruelty of the mother was too recent to
enable him to feel anything but de-
sire to get even. However, he decided
to call on his mortal enemy and upbraid
her for his sufferings.
He was met tenderly, even affection
ately. His rage proved to be evanes-
cent, and before he knew what was the
matter with him, he had fallen in love
with the woman who once he wanted as
a mother-in-law, had proposed, was &C.

Mathematics are generally credited

The specimen was saved, and is now at

The snake is called crotalus cerastes,

snakes that is also called the "hornet

either side of the head is horny pro-
