The Lone Star is the guiding star to the
heart and patriotism of every true son of
Texas; it is the emblem by which our state
is as well known to the world, perhaps, as

let's build a palace that has for its shape the
emblem by which we are known to the
world. and one which the people from the

this state will unite upon and build at Chi

with the five terminal towers. These
towers also answer for five entrances 10 the

are five castles, built also of different

carried out with success. There can be no
doubt that the conference has strengthened
the belief of the commissioners,
if it has rot entirely convinced
them, that the system in use is defective
and bad, and that it should give place to
one more in accord with the principles of
equity. If, as well-informed Galveston
gentleman said to the writer, the railroads
can and do make a compact or have some
sort of
AN UNDERSTANDING
with the makers of bagging in st. LOUIS by
aehlch the latter, when ready to ship are
given all at once 35 cent rate on bagging
to Texas points, while no change is made in
Galveston's 81 cent rate, then must it be
thing is defective and bad. The commits
sion have managed the conference with a
view to getting such light and such in
formation as would enable them to formu-
late distance or mileage rate OF tariff,
that Is, system based on
the principle Of quantum meruit rather
than on that in vogue, to-wlt: al the traffic
will bear. The chairman, Judge Reagan,
was emphatic in arraigning that policy Of
the railroads in virtue Of which
they usurped the functions
of the lawmaking power in
altering and changing the course of trade,
and diverting commodities from their
NATURAL CHANNELS.
Their business, said he, was simply
to transport things for the convenience
of the public, and not to assume
control of commerce, and direct it hither
and yon as their interests dictated.
Yesterday when Mr.. Waldo, general
freight agent of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas, suggested that the commission
agree upon a system of freight rates
as starter, and a basis from which TO
work, he succeeded in arousing the spunk
of the chairman, who stated, after consult
ing with MesSrS. Foster and Mclean that
the commission did not mean TO propose
an ill-considcred or provisional tariff rate
TO be criticised and ridIculed by the rail-
road men. He went on to say that the
commission had complied with the law in
calling the railroad men to conference in
order that they give such information
as would aid the commissioners in COM
plying with their duty in fixing such
freight rates as they may think
DESIRABLE or REASONABLE.
If the railroad men would comply with
the request made of them, very well;
if not that would be an end of it, and
the commission would go ahead and fix
rate without their aid. The judge
laid down the law quite plainly
and succinctly to the boys, and in
Il very few words convinced them
that the commission would stand no tricks
and no monkey business. OF course there
was nothing of the latter, as the freight
agents are all gentlemen. But they very
soon saw that an aggressive or too indie
pendent policy on their part would only
injure them, or at least not help their cause
q particle.

North Texas summer Normal.

! Fort Worth can to-day boast of having
| the largest normal school in the state OF
Texas. Many distinguished visitors have
| been here during the week, and many who
came to visit became SO interested in the
work that they at once Joined the classes,
and are now some of the hardest workin 2
members. The great success of the normal
is another proof of the fact that Fort Worth
never does anything by halves. Fort
Worth has twenty-five teachers engaged in
normal school work What other city in
Texas, regardless of size or wealth, can
show or produce such a list of live. ener-
getic, enth Isiastic and progressive teach
erss The normal owes much to Fort Worth
and her teachers-the best organized and
most harmonious body of teachers in the
state.
While due credit was given to the able
and efficient organizers and promoters of
the normal, justice would not be done if
the work of some of the special teachers
should not receive proper notice. The
classes in composition and rhetoric, En-
glish literature and elocuti On are conducted
by Miss Marine Harrison of Waco. Since
the organization of these classes by Miss
Harrison she has been compelled to sepa-
rate them into two divisions, the rooms
net being sufficiently large to accommodate
the entire number, SO great was the inter-
est taken in her classes. 1t is often re-
time and money spent at the normal. She
is one of those exceptional teachers who
puts her whole soul into the work and at
once creates an interest in the class that is
characteristic of the best and MODEST teach
ers. Miss Harrison enjoys the reputation
of being one of the most cultured, scholarly
and successful lady teachers in the state
At our last state association she took quite
prominent part in the affairs Of that body,
and it is fact that no other teacher ever
commanded the attention of the entire body
as did she when she appeared upon the
floor. Fort Worth indeed feels proud to
have in her schools such teachers. Later
on attention will be called to some other
noble workers, and let it be said to the
credit of Fort Worth, these teachers are
from her public schools.
PERSONAL AND NOTES.

to visit the normal, was captured by the
body of teachers and Is now an active men,

A Wreck on the Katy.

The passenger train No. 3, on the Mis-
souri,. Kansas and Texas, due here at $50
yesterday morning, did not arrive until last
night. AT Wybark switch four miles north
of Muskogee the truck under the baggage
car jumped the rails aud tore up the track
for full train length. The tender of the
engine went off, and the mail, baggage, ex-
press and s!nOGing-car rolled into the ditch,
and the ladies' car and the chair car We're
also derailed Though all the cars were
filled with passengers none OF them were
injured. The Sleeping-car Vera Cruz went
of all except her rear trucks but the Dallas
sleeper, which was in the rear, kept to the
rails. The three mail clerks in the car
were slightly injured.

It's q FELONY.

1t is not probable that the ice manufact-
urerswho have combined TO raise the price
of ice are aware of the fact that under the
laws of 1889 in forming this trust they are
committing felony which is punishable by
q penitentiary sentence, but this is the case.
says the county attorney. Under this law
all combinations. pools or trusts having for
their object an advance IN the price of wares,
is made felony, and all who enter into
such combination, pool or trust are liable
TO prosecution therefor.
The storm of indignation was rising still
higher yesterday, apparently rising with
the Thermometer, and the packing house
people We're deluged with orders for ice
Now it is feared the packing-ho ice
machines will be unable to supply the de-
tmand.
The assertion was made that the packing
house people were endeavoring to crush
out the other ice factories and thus secure
monopoly, but this crushing-out business

It Will Be a Success.

COUNTY Attorney Gillespie yesterday in.
formed GAZETTE emissary that the COM
ing convention Of the county and district
attorneys of the state, to be held in this
city, July 18th and 18th, would be success
in every respect. This is the first annual
convention of the county and district attor-
neys, and they are all very enthusiastic re-
garding it. The railroads have all granted
special rates of cents mile for the round
trip, except the Rio Grandc, and this road
goes step farther and announces that it
will furnish the attorneys resident upon its
line free transportation to and from Fort
Worth. All the attorneys, county and dis
trict, in the state are taking a deep interest
in the convention, and from present indica-
tons there is little reason to doubt every
county in the state will be represented.
