Miss Leatherwood's Thanks.


Editor Gazette.
Your grateful correspondent begS a little
space in our GAZETTE that she may give
some expression TO 4 gratitude too deep for
wOrds-to her friends who put her in the
scholarship contest without her knowl-
cdge-and to all throughout the state who
generously supported her till to-day she is
The happy and humbly grateful beneficiary
Of and debtor to all Texas.
To the Cattlemen of the state who chose
me TO bear their colorS through the contest,
and who so generously rallied TO my sup
port: to the knights Of the Lance who
gave tournament here in honor of my can
didacy: to the notorious cowboys from
the Panhandle who gave ''cattle roping"
here for the same purpose, and especially
TO my friends in Wise cOunty-more espe-
cialy Decatur: the business men and many
noble women who wrought day and night
for my success, whose numerous names
must forbear to mention; 10 the Collins &
Armstrong company of Fort Worth. to
whose muuihcence i am gratefully indebted
for the handsome sterling piano; and
last, but not least, TO our noble GAZETTE,
whose love for Texas and devotion to her
daughters made this great honor and bene-
fit possible. To all for every act of kind
ness shown I now pen with an honored and
grateful hand thousand humble thanks
ard heartfelt God bless You.
To those whose confidence is
craven on more than 5000 ballots,
l can only say, that to make the most pos
sible of the golden opportunity and to show
lifetime gratitude TO the chiYalrv that
honors me. is the only return l can offer
you: but this much, with the divine bless
ing, l do pledge you.
With the blessings of life and health l am
resolved that the cattlemen and my friends
in Texas shall never be disappointed in the
confidence expressed and the trust reposed
Two things mitigate the joy of my tri-
umph, to-wit: Ffrst-A conscious unworth-
mess of such distinction and a fear of in
ability TO requite the expectation of my
friends. Second-A feeling of sympathy
with my lovely competitors, less fortunate
in the race but probably more worthy the
honor than myself. To you, dear young
ladies, allow me TO say. shall be delighted
to meet you in the Fort ON the morning of
the 3lSt of August, and join you for Hardin
college, where, the wish OF the writer is,
that we may know and love each other
well: and when We leave our alma mater
for the battles of life. NAV we all return TO
the land we love with that culture of head
and heart and that noble womanhood that
will make The GAZETTE and all Texas
proud of the day they sent US there.
Your humble and grateful beneficiary,

To the Gazette.
l cannot refrain from public expression
of my thanks. Indeed, believe me, l do
gratefully appreciate it, and it gives NE
more pleasure than l can possibly express,
to thank my many friends throughout the
state, and especially at the town of Hamil-
ton. for the noble way in which they came
to my assistance. And to my faithful
friends at home, l take this opportunity to
again express my thanks for their valiant
efforts in my behalf. While they seemingly
took hut little interest in the contest, their
final rush of 1900 strong. proved that they
were not resting on their arms but that
they had saved their achievements till
nearer the lend of the battle,'' believing
that we would win. But though we failed
to secure the first prize, l am just as truly
grateful for what l have received. | also
want to thank my good friend from Bolton,
Judge Osterhout, for his efforts in my be-
half

self worthy the great honor which my
friends, through THE GAZETTE, have
bestowed upon me, and shall certainly try
TO be an honor TO my state, to my friends

minutes of business it became dull

statement tomorrow served to depresS
prices The banks have lost heavily to the
s4b-ireasury and considerable money has
been Slipped West. The bank statement
upset all calculations concerning it, and
predictions are inadyiSable.
The lead trust was one of the most active
and quite the strongest stock of the mid
day trading. BY noon il had scored an ad
vance OF ll]l points IL advance of its open
ing. The new plan of reorgan-
izdtion Is well thought of in
the street. With the large supply of water
squeezed out of the stock there seems 10 be
no doubt of the company's ability to earn
dividends on both its common and preferred
SHARES.
Atchison was steady on IN increase OF

In the afternoon the market became
steadier in spite of well advertised attack

dreu in schools of our own denomination.
The report was replete with good things.
The committee on Sunday-SchoOl mis-

rested and questioned, he Acknowledged
that he had run away from his home in
Mineral Wells. He says he was induced to
leave home by boy by the name of Tom
johnson, who is about fifteen years old.
Clough Is about the same age and seemed
TO be rather discouraged and glad of an
opportunity to return home. Officer Mack
collected enough money to purchase
him ticket back to Mineral Wells. The
runaway is 4 son of Rev. j. D. Clough of
Mineral Wells, and though only fifteen
years Old, IS large for his age. He left on

The Main Street Well.

The suggestion of The GAZETTE that an
artesian well be sunk at the head of Main
street and the overflow used to food the
cutters on Main and Houston streets, has
met with general approval, aud ii is said the
suggestion has been faYOrably regarded by
some of the county commissioners. 1t
would furnish splendid supply of water
for the courthouse and jail, and enough
consumers could be secured among the bus
mess men TO pay more than the interest on
the cost of the well and eventually pay the
principal. There would be no more dirty
streets, and in this the city, as well as the
county, would be greatly benefited, while
the water supply for the courthouse and
jail would be virtually free of cost. The
business men spoken TO on the subject re-
gard it favorably; as do the county officials,
they believing the well would be paving
investment even with the overflow utilized
TO flush the cutters on Main street. The
flow from the well, Il half million gallons
daily, would be more thun can at present be
utilized by consumers.
Nothing less than a 81, 900, 900 waterworis
plant VIII satisfy the present council, and
it viii be a long time before this is secured.
1t is useless to expect anything from that
source in the way Of relief. and for this
reason the Main street well is more than
ordinarily favorably regarded.
1t was estimated yesterday that the num-
Der Of water consumers that could be Sc
cured or Main Rusk and Houston streets,
between Seventh and Weatherford streets,
would pay for the well in less than ten
years time, allowing the water supply TO
the courthouse and jail TO be considered as
free. The well could be located on the
west side of the courthouse yard, from
which point the water could easily be
diverted to the cutters on Main and Hous-
ton streets. The overflow from the Nata-
torium well Will flush Rusk street, as all
that flow of water cannot be used.
This would also give an opportunity for
the raising of shade trees. 1t is not at all
improbable that the well will be sunk in
the course of the next few weeks.
