"ArrER this, therefore on account Of

"AFTER this, therefore on account of
this" is not always correct logical
deduction. The experiment of ''blast-
ing for rain" was succeeded by rainfall
in Washington City. It will not do to
conclude at once that the explosions
produced the rain, for a rain might
have come if there had been no explos-
ions made. But if the experiment is
tried two or three times, and a rain
follows. each time, We may reasonably
conclude that there is connection be-
tween the explosions and the rain. The
matter will soon be tried. After the
lst of July an appropriation Of $500
becomes available for experimenting,
and some scientific fellows will give the
theory trial in the regions of Western
Kansas and Eastern Colorado. II the
thing is ''go," the price of dynamite
win go up. We could use several tons
of it in Texas now.

Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
JEFFERSON, MARION COUNTY, Tex, June
GA serious wreck occurred on the Texas
and Pacific road about one and half miles
below the depot last night. Two freight
trains, one going north and one west, col
lided while running at full speed. Two
brakemen were killed and an engineer was
seriously hurt. 1t Is thought that two
negroes who were stealing ride are buried
under the wreck There were also about
twenty head of cattle killed. The passen-
ger trains were all delayed about twelve
hours, but the track is now clear and the
wreck is being cleared away.
REMAINS BROUGHT TO MARSHALL.
MARSHALL, HARRISON COUNTY, TEX,

brakeman, who were killed in the wreck
just north Of jefferson last night on the
Texas and Pacific railroad, were brought to
this city and their remains prepared for In
terment. Deane has q brother here, who
viii ship his remains to Florida to be inter-
red. Oscar Turner, the engineer who was
ON the west-bound train, sustained some Sc
we're bruises, although he is not confined to
his bed.

IN his interview, printed by THE
GAZETTE yesterday, Mr.. SwaYne says
OF the alien law: 81 fail to see that
after the companies understand the
lawi it will have any such effect. I be-
lieve that much of this injury talk is
made SO as to cause the governor to
embrace this in his call for special
session."
Once lawyer told his client he could
not be legally incarcerated. "Yes, but
damn it," said the client, ''they did put
me in" What Mr.. Swayne believes of
the agitation does not affect the fact
that foreign loan companies are refus-
ing loans and renewals, and are coun-
demanding orders for more money.

Polytechnic College.

The work on the handsome brick struct-
ure on Polytechnic Hill, to be occupied in
September by the Methodists as state
school, is rapidly nearing completion.
Methodists from all over Texas have been
here to look at the site and learn about the
college, and are well pleased. Rev. W. P.
Wilson, one of the board said yesterday
that eight lots in the college addition had
been sold in the last few days to people lfv-
ing outside of Fort Worth who would come
here to live and educate their children. A
gentleman of Bryan and two citizens of
Hunt county will build good residences in
the addition at once. Applications to care
for nearly two hundred boys have been re-
ceived from all over Texas. About July l

be pushed with all possible speed. This
college promises to be a good thing for

THE EVIL EFFECTS
of the Ozark Lantern" Method of Obtain
ing More Wards-InjuriOu to the
City and Her Reputation.

What is back Of the Eighth ward admissionf
There is no justice in the admission of the
ward; what, then is it? What does this signify
for the future Of Fort WORTH Why should
municipal legislation be placed in the hands of
the minority? What's up?-lGAzETTE Edito-
rial June 90
The above are pertinent, if not timely in
quiries They may be q trife ''subse-
quent." The inquiry might have gone far
Their and sought for information as to what
was back off and what was the purpose of
the annexation of the Seventh ward, and
its subsequent annexes.
1t may not be profitable to inquire, at
this late day, ''what is back of this action
on the part of the council" but it is safe 10
say there is in the future endless litigation
and veXatious, expensive contro gersy. Had
there been any good purpose to serve,
there is good reason for the belief that the
persons annexed, who are largely inter-
ested would have yielded cheerful consent
TO the annexation. But that it was found
necessary, in part at least, to resort to
''dark-lantern" proceedings to carry out
the wishes of the schemsrs affords Just aud
reasonable ground for the belief that the
motive was not wholly patriotic. This was
done, too, by council elected in opposition
to aud in rebuke of ''dark-lantern" politics.
Fort Worth has heretofore enjoyed an
enviable reputation for municipal integrity,
and its obligations have borne the best rep
utation in the market, of any city in the
state. Do the ''dark-lantern" advocates see
in the fact that the recent issue of the bonds
of the city went unsoid, any of the effects Of
their riding rough shod over the will of the
tax-payersl They might, if not too much
blinded by their own narrow views.
1t may be set down as certainty that the
end is not yet. The courts will be appealed
to, to set aside the wrong done. In the
meantime the money of the city will have
been expended to some extent, in the dis
puted territory, and this, if the annexation
is set aside, will be dead loss to the tax
payers. The obligations of the city will
suffer in the markets of the land, and great
evil will be done. b. B. p

REALTY AND BUILDING.
FORT WORTH BECOMING 4
FINANCIAL CENTER.
Work OF the Polytechnic College
Building Operations.

Fort Worth is progressing remarkably
Wen these hot June days, making such
strides in solid and permanent growth that
the eyes OF the state are upon her. As o
financial center Fort Worth, in proportion
to her population, is far ahead Of any city
in Texas. 1t has now become common
thing for Fort Worth money to be sent into
sections Of the state tributary to this city
to aid in developing the resources Of the
same. Fort Worth banks and financial in
situations are to-day shipping currency to
the wheat belt to pay for wheat which will
soon be in our elevators. 1t is the fact that
8 great proportion Of our people are we'll
TODD that gives such solidity to the city.
The transient population is comparatively
small, and the white English speaking peo-
pie are in such preponderance that strangers
are impressed and invariably express a
preference for Fort Worth as place Of
residence. Fort Worth is q city Of homes,
by our eight building and, loan as
soeiations, the companies building
houses sold on monthly payments
and the public-spirited citizens who are do
the same thing. The growth of these build
ing institutions in this city is one Of the
best evidences Of the prosperity and con-
tentment of the working classes in Fort
Worth that could be afforded. They are
deserving and justly entitled to the encour-
agement and aid Of all representative citi-
Gems, and employers more especially. The
habits of economy and frugality stimulated
by these organizations create a pride in
people to try and do something more than
merely exist in hand-to-mouth fashion.
1t gives them something in sight to work for.
A premium IS placed upon punctuality. An
obligation is incurred in becoming a men,
Der, and to many people the first business
like obligation of their lives, excepting to
employers. 1t is their first opportunity for
Independent action, the main-stay of all
good citizenship, the foundation of all true
progress. Under the influences of these as
sociatlons men who belong to them, but
who previously did not know what to do
with their weekly earnings but to squander
the money every Saturday night in way
that untitled them for duty, are encouraged
to do better, and they do good deal better.
They become more steady, are less fire.
quently absent from their post of duty,
grow more reliable all the time, and conse-
quently more profitable to their employers.
In addition to the building associations
that have been at work some time, the
Como building and improvement associa-
ton, now building houses at Arlington
Heights, is at work with capital Of $3.50,
900, and the packing house building associ-
alton has had nearly all its stock taken and
will soon build houses for its 200 employees,
which will be owned by them.

THE alien law as supplement to the
panic will accomplish its work and

alien ownership Of American lands is
all right, but such law could have
been framed without bankrupting men

land titles. The Duke of Sutherland
could have been driven out of Texas
