SALE OF THE BONDS.
The city council closed its doors against
the public last night to consider propositions
looking to the sale of the $4,000 sewer
and waterworks bonds. The only object
for the executive session seemed to be to
keep the price offered from the public.
The chairman of the finance committee
stated that the offer was to take the bonds
at the same price which the remnant of
SO 200 brought the other day in New York.
They sold at par, less commission of per
cent, leaving net 81 cents. Plenty of
people in Dallas think this good price for
bonds, everything considered. but the city
council it appeared. was ashamed OF it.
NOTES
The courts have gone out of business for
the present. 1t IS too warm to turn out the
grist and all hands are taking rest.
The Trinity River Navigation company
will meet tomorrow afternoon to adopt by
laws. The committee appointed TO solicit
stock got at loggerheads the first day. \
portion Of the committee wanted to exact
1G2S per cent an cash as the first assessment
and the rest said it should be only 10 per
cent, 50 they tied up. and tomorrow they
will ask for Instructions from the directors.
The party sinking an arteSlan well at the
fair grounds has struck layer of white
flint rock. Before that he encountered
quicksand. The well is several hundred
feet deep with only light flow Of water.
The cable railway is at standstill. The
local subscribers, it is said, put up $4,000
in cash and 10000 in real estate, being
$4,000 less than they agreed to do. Parties
are now in New York negotiating with the
view of arranging for the completion of the
road.
y strange man giving the name of Sheets
on the 18th of last July entered the residence
of Mrs. Susan Cronk, in East Dallas, and
asked permission to leave with her an hour
or so his little three year-old boy. He has
not since called to get it, and the little fel-
low has been placed in the hands of the
sheriff.
Wilbrink, the young Tennesseau who
made such a miserable failure trying to
suicide by jumping in the river and cutting
his throat last Sunday morning, escaped
from the city hospital and took up tenn
porary quarters at Carter's stockyards.
The police were sent out last evening to
bring him in. He is crazy, and for his own
safety he will probably be confined.

Special to the Gazette.

DALLAS, Ten, Aug 6.-The iveliest
topic in this burg just now has grown out
of the changes in textbooks, made by the
city school board at its last meeting, upon
the recommendation Of the superintendent.
Never in the history of the schools has
such sweeping change been made, and the
members of the school board, with the eN-
ception of Col. Bill Parry, instead OF con-
su!ting the pecuniary interests of the pat
rons of the schools, simply voted aye"
every time the superintendent suggested
aye In just about fifteen minutes, or
less. they had saddled upon the patrons of
the schools an additional textbook bill of
about 5000 in the aggregate, and that is
why a howl is being sent up that may be
heard in Fort Worth. Many OF the poor
people are not flush any way, and by the
time they patch the little boys breeches,
provide the girls with ginghams and school
shoes, and rig out as many sometimes as
five or six children TO each family decently,

books ordered in compliance with the sug-
gestions of $500 superintendent. The

notable circumstance has been the sale of
1000 barrels Of graduated TO Canada at a
cost of 8 SC delivered there. although the
selling quotations are but 45.c at the REIN
cries there. The explanation is, that the
Canadian refineries are so far oyersold at
4@%Sc, in consequence of free sugar demand,
that no sugar can be had for immediate use,
and the buyers from America find d profit
in the importation even at 5lsc.

Coinage WITHOUT CHARGE.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The ques-
ton as to the right of citizen to de-
mand the coinage OF silver bullion at
the minis OF the United States without
seigniorage is to be tested in the courts
sooner than was at first expected. In
the supreme court of the District of
Columbia to-day the original motion in
the test case was made and the court
issued an order directing the secretary
OF the treasury TO show cause on Mon
day next why mandamus should not
be issued to compel him to receive for
coinage the silver bricl, recently offered
at the Philadelphia mint 1t is ex-
pected that the arguments to follow the
motion will be brief and that the court
will promptly decide that the secretary
simply obeyed the law when he de.
clined to accept the bullion for coinage.

A Rush for sioux Lands.

CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., March 81.
Additional plats for twelve townships
in Presho county were received at the
United States land Office hero today.
Presho county is in the ceded Sioux
lands and the settlers there and in
other portions OF these lands acquired
squatters' rights upon going upon the
lands when the reservation was thrown
open one year ago. In addition to the
plats for Presho county the land Office
has recently received plats for other
portions OF the coded lands. The large
numbers OF settlers in that country can
lille April on their claims, thus en-
loying full possession. Because OF the
land not being surveyed previous to
the opening OF the reservation the set
tiers or squatters have been greatly
annoyed by claim jumpers who would
watch their opportunity to jump the
claims whenever the first sauatter
would leave it for time to go to town
or elsewhere. Considerable of q rush
will be experienced at the land Office
when the filings are received.

Women who Went ont West.

ALLENTOWN. Pa, March 30.-Miss
Katherine Solt OF Allentown and Miss
Susan Schultter of Center Valley, this
county, went west together seven years
ago to make their own living in novel
and Independent way. They were cour-
ageous and self-reliant, and cherished
the idea that il women would assert
themselves properly in business enter
prlses they need not be dependent on
any OF the male sex. but could snap
her myers in the face of all mankind.
They settled in Nebraska on the site
OF the present town OF Nashville, and.
having little hoard OF money each
took up grant of government land
consisting OF 100 acres. The nearest
settlement was INVENTIVE miles away.
Each one OF the young women erected
on her quarter section q small hut and
endeavored to live as comfortably as
possible until more substantial dwell
ings could be built.
They titled the soil rs best thew
could, and by dint OF hard and patient
labor each raised small crops by the
close of the first year. In the second
year railroad was extended right
through their tracts, and in n few
months quite a colony of families had
settled near by. More settlers follow
ed, and by the end of the fourth year
prosperous little town had sprung
up. The county seat was located on
their land, and today it is town of
LOCO inhabitants, with bright pros
poets that it will soon be city.
Misses Solt and Schlutter own all
the most valuable land in town and
Whereabouts, and are now realizing neat
prices for their building lots. They
came east few days ago, and are now
visiting their parents and friends in
this vicinity. Surprise is expressed
by their acquaintances that they did
not get married while in the west but
they laughingly replied that they don't

GOuld,s Peculiar Methods.

CHICAGO, March 2S.-Some of the
traffic officials of the Missouri river
roads who attended the meeting at
Omaha yesterday are more bitter than
ever in their denunciation OF what they
term 'Gould's methods of competi-
tion." The meeting in question was
for the purpose of adjusting rates on
coal from Iowa and Missouri mines to
Omaha and trans-Missouri points. 1t
was called by the Missouri Pacific peo-
pie, who asserted that these rates are
being cut by some of their competitors.
but yet 1t is asserted that the consid-
Grafton of the matter developed the
fact that the only road guilty OF ma
nipulating rates was the Missouri Pa
citic. A resolution was then presented
providing for the maintenance of coal
rates on the agreed tariff basis by all
lines, but the Missouri Pacific voted
against it and the meeting adjourned
without action.
Chairman Finley heard arguments
today in the application of the Minne-
apolis & St Louis road for authority
to make rate OF Sl3 from st. Paul to
Kansas City on the ground that COM
petitors were selling tickets at that
figure over the Chicago, St. Paul & St.
Louis line. The latter road agreed to
attempt to clear the market OF the dis
turbing tickets and Mr.. Finley post
poned action until April 6.

Columbus succeeded in accomplish

men can be compared with him. With
the hope that the honors rendered him
will serve to celebrate the worlds Co.

give to your project the praise it mer-
its, and at the same time, as a token
OF fraternal love we give the apostolic
benediction.

The Land Commis.ionership

WASHINGTON. March 31.-Ex-C Con-
gresham Thomas H. Carter OF Mon
tana has been rendered the vacant
general land commissionership and
will undoubtedly accept it. Mr.. Car
ter took lunch with the president and
during his hour with the chief execu-
tive was told that he could succeed
Judge Croft If he desired tho place.
This turn OF affairs was not altogether
unexpected to Mr.. Carter. He had
been given limitations OF it several
days ago, and the fact got into print.
A large number of kilograms were re-
ceived from his Montana friends urg-
ing him to accept. He told the presi-
dent that he preferred to return to his
law practice at Helena, which is large
and lucrative, but he stated that in
view of the many appeals from his
friends throughout the country and es-
pecially from Montana, and the fact
that the place was rendered as a spe-
cial compliment to his new state, which
is largely interested in the public do
main, he would likely accept. He asked
for three or four days in which to de-
eide. 1t is known from information
not far from Mr.. Carter that he will
accept.
Thomas ii. Carter is thirty-seven
years old only. but he is one of the
best lawyers in the west He has for
many years been prominent at the
front in all matters affecting the pub
lie domain. He is honest the friend
of the settler, not the tool OF corpora
tons and will be faithful TO the gov
eminent without working hardships
upon those who occupy public lands.
tie was elected as a delegate to the
fifty-first (the lasD congress, but be-
fore taking his seat was elected con-
gresham, Montana having been adj
mltted to statehood. He rendered con-
splcuously good service upon the com
mlttees on mines and mining and
coinage, weights and measures. and
took a prominent part in all matters
pertaining to public lands and the ter
ritories The president rendered the
place TO Mr.. Carter us a special com
pllment to the new state, and it will
give universal satisfaction. 1t is I'M
derstood that Nebraska, in view of the.
tender to Mr.. Carter will withdraw
her recommendation before his ap-
pointment is made. so that it may be
by unanimous consent Mr.. Carter is
a man of the highest possible charac-
ter and settlers will find that he comes
up fully to the high standard of APP
pointments fixed by President Harri-
son.
