TEXAS EXHIBIT.
THE MOVEMENT AMONG THE
REAL ESTATE MEN.
Two Cars with Texas Products to be Sent
North and East-An Energetic Move
ment that speaks Well for
the State.



WACO, TEX, April 1.-THE Texas real
estate association determined some months
ago TO tit out TWO cars with Texas exhibits
collected from different sections of the
state, showing the resources Of each sec
ton, of soils, minerals, fruits, vegetables,
farm and manufactured products, and send
this car to Northern, Eastern and Western
points. It is proposed to start these cars
from Waco June Is. Secretary Hardy IS
making arrangements with fairs and expo
SitionS in the parts of the country to be
visited. The exhibit cars will be constantly
on the go until the Worlds fair, when they
will go to Chicago TO form part of the Texas
exhibit. These cars have been placed in
charge of the immigration committee of
which Col. w. r. Slosson of Rusk is chair
man, and Mr.. w. a. Bowen, well known
newspaper man, is now canvassing the
state collecting the exhibits. This is re-
garded as a good plan to advertise Texas.
1t was laid before the lumbermens' conven
ton at Houston few days ago, and they
pledged SIC, 600 to the scheme.
The Texas real estate association was Or
ganized in Waco. and its headquarters are
here. No plan of the organization has yet
failed, and Texas owes much 10 Waco for
what will be done for the state.

HARDIN ACQUITTED.
The Jury Decides He Did Not XIII Dick
Townsend.

When the criminal court of the Forty
eighth district convened Thursday morning
and Judge Stedman took his seat upon the
bench the jury in the Hardin murder trial
filed in and announced they had found 4
verdict. 1t was handed to the Judge who
passed it to the clerk. The silence was as
profound as that of the tomb. Not sound
was heard, and so death-like was the still
ness that the rattle of the paper as the clerk
unfolded the document could be heard all
over the courtroom, which was packed to
its full capacity. The prisoner sat motion
less, pale a marble, nervous twitching of
the eyelids alone betrayed his NERVOUSNESS.
Lawyer F'urman ceased his paStime of
tearing bits of paper smaller bits and
seemed to be holding his breath
in suspense, though evidently endeavor-
ing to assume a nonchaient appearance.
The attorneys before the bar were almost as
deeply interested as the attorneys in the
case. Slowly but distinctly the clerk read:
I'VE the jury find the defendant, John r.
Hardin, not guilty as charged For mo-
ment the silence was unbroken, then cheer
after cheer rang out upon the air and attor-
neyS, friends and bystanders crowded for
ward to shake hands with the man who had
passed under the shadow of the gallowS.
Hardin.s wife and daughters were not
present when the verdict was announced,
the suspense being better borne by them in
in the privacy of their quarters.

TEXAS MILLS AND FACTORIES.

Galveston is to have cotton tie manu-
factory.
Beeville. says the Bee. will have three
splendid steam gins for the crop of 1891,
with a combined capacity of over one hun
dred bales per day. This is a great advan-
tage to both county and city. Farmers
from all the surrounding country can bring
their cotton to the gin, gin and sell it and
return home same day, owing to the rapidity
with which our improved gins handle the
tieecy staple.
The contract for the new cotton seed oil
mill at Greenville has been signed, and the

ton and all farmers are up with their
work.
Tyler Democrat and Reporter: The fruit
interests in the county this year will be
something enormous. Fruit is going to
bring money, and our people need It and
are going to work for their snare of the
gains. 1t Is likely that most OF the crop
will be worked up.
Terrell Register: Aspecial from Gran
dali says corn is coming up very irregularly
but the rain of the past few days will be a
benefit to it. Most of the farmers are up
with their work and waiting time to plant
cotton. There will be a considerable acre

OKLAHOMA INDIGNANT.
Secretary Mobiles Order to Remove the
Dead from the School Lands.

Special to the Gazette
OKLAHOMA CITY. o. t, April 16.-The
greatest Indignation prevails over the in
structions of Secretary Noble to the special
land agents here for them to clear the
school lands of the dead buried on them.
The agents are to notify corporations to re-
move the dead, and if the notice is not COM
piled with, they are to lodge information
with the territorial attorney, who shall in
stitute legal proceeding for the dead's re-
moval. Owing to the peculiar circum-
stances under which this country was
thrown open to settlement the people could
only make burial grounds of the school sec
ton as they were not subject to settlement
and all the other lands were being taken up.
The consequence is, that a great many of
the school lands are used as cemeteries all
over the territory. The order now is to
lease them and turn the money into the
school fund. Appeals to the secretary TO
have portion of them set aside for burial
purposes have been in vain and the people
are very justly Indignant If an attempt is
made to remove the dead the government
will have to send several regiments OF Off
GERS to do the work.

WAR DEPARTMENT.


The report of the secretary of war ex-
liibits the results of an intelligent,
progressive and business-like admins
tratiop Of department which has been
too much regarded as one of mere
routine. The separation Of Secretary
Proctor from the department, by reason
OF his appointment as senator from the
state of Vermont, is source of great re-
gret to me and to his colleagues, and am
sure it viii be to all those who have had
business with the department while un-
der his charge.
In the administration of army affairs
some especially good work has been &C
complished. The efforts of the secretary
to reduce the percentage of desertions
by removing the causes that promoted
it, have been SO successful as to enable
him to report for last year lower per-
centage of desertion than has been be-
fore reached in the history of the army.
The resulting money-saving is consider
able. but the improvement in the NOR
liable incident of the reforms. which
! have brought about this result.
The work of securing sites for shore
batteries for harbor defenses and the
manufacture Of guns, ETC., of high
power to equip them have made good
progress during the year. We sail be

! ton and use of naval vessels until

that the three battalion organizations be
adopted for the infanty. The adoption
of smokeless powder and of a modern
rifle, equal in range, precision and rap
| idity of fire to the best known use will,
l hope, not be longer delayed.
The project of enlisting Indians and
organizing them into separate compa-
nies upon the same basis as other sol
diers was made the subject of a very
careful study by the secretary, and re-
ceived my approval. Seven companies
have been completely organized and
seven more are in process of organiza
ton. The results of six months train
ing have more than realized the highes,
anticipations.

arsenic, and lastly some strychnine. which
