This does not include the interest on
bonds due and payable on Jan. lst, w,
neither does it make any allowance for
work to be done on the streets, repairs on
bridges, or any other contingent expense
whatever, during the coming summer.
The only source Of income to the city
from now until January LIST, 1892, is the
amounts to be received from saloon and
other licenses, which in all probability
will not exceed S14, 100000, as | have indi-
Gated above.
The city is already in debt more than
ITS constitutional limit, and for that rea-
son, no money can be borrowed, even
though the council We're disposed to Dor
row Thus, gentlemen, you can readily
see what our position is, what our means
are to Go with. and that we are confronted
at the outset, with the problem OF how to
manage the city's affairs as will enable us
to exist until such time as the receipt OF
taxes vet TO be levied, will relieve us.
It would seem that the same rule would
be applied 10 managing the affairs OF the
city that prudent men apply to their per-
SOnal business.
There has been much said about max
inc public improvements this year, but
when we stop to considered that there is
no money in the treasury to make any i'm
provements this year. then the agitation
must cease until the funds can be provid-
ed in the legitimate and proper manner.
When a man Of good business qualifica-
tions sets about to build him a house if
he be honest he frsl ascertainS the cost,
and second where the money is coming
from to meet his Obligations.
Why should not the city of KenOsha
do the same?
We need sewers and a pavement on
Main street. These are public necessities
and acknowledged by all, but there is
only one way to secure them, which is to
levy at the usual time Of levying Otner
taxes. such amounts as may be nect SSary
to perform and pay for the proportion OF
the work chargeable to the city, place it
in the treasury and leave it there until
such time as so much Of the work is COM
pleted as can be paid for with the money
at hand. then apply it to that speclhc
purpose and no other.
The only wise and safe course, especial
" in city matters, is first TO provide the
money, cause the work to be commenced,
and when the money provided for such
purpose is exhausted, quit the work until
money is again provided in the legal man
ner to complete it,
No municipal bol has the right to run

Went Fishing With Dynamite.
Special to the Gazette.

Sptcidl 10 the GdZelle.
DouGHERTY. l. T., Sept 2S.-Last
Wednesday evening about O'Clock Charlie
Boutwell, and William Pickett, both about
fifteen years of age, secured a stick of
dynamite and concluded to kill some fish
at the Rock Creek ford, one mile
south of town. but the attempt resulted
disastrously to both boys, as follows: In
making fuse the boys took an old sus-
pender, sewing it together, making a long
tube. One end they inserted into the stick
of dynamite and poured powder in the
other end, until the tube was full.
Charlie Boutwell, was holding the
dynamite ready to throw it in the
water as soon as the Pickett boy lit the
fuse, which he proceeded to do, when i
terrific explosion occurred, knocking both
boys to the ground and tearing the right
hand of Boutwell, off at the wrist
and severely decorating the hips
and the stomach of the Pickett
Y. Both boys got up and walked quar-
of mile to the home of Boutwell,
" hen the doctor arrived he picked flesh
and finger bones belonging to Boutwell, out
of Picketts hips and stomach. The
shock being so great to their systems,
the Pickett boy succumbed to the
Shock and he died yesterday evening and
was buried to-day.
The Boutwell, boy says he will die also,
and the doctors agree with him, and say he
cannot last over twelve hours longer, as he
is also hurt internally, which was not
known at first

Jays New Scheme.

CHICAGO, ILL, Sept 2S.-That part of
MIR. GOuld's interview in which he men
lions new line to New Orleans in connec-
ton with the Missouri Pacific. has set
Western railroad men to thinking. The
completion of line from Fort Smith to
junction with the Cotton Belt will
give the road short route to
New Orleans via the Cotton Belt
and Texas and Pacific, both of which
are controlled by Gould. 1t is probable
that this will be done in few weeks. 1t
adopted from Arkansas points to New Or
leans that are in force from Kansas points
to Chicago. This will of course divert
to the Southern port all export
grain traffic that has heretofore
gone east via Chicago, and will work con-
siderable injury TO some of the Chicago
roads The Rock Island will be the road
most likely to suffer in the event of such
action An official of that company ad-
mitted as much to-day. "One thing is Ger
TAIN" he said, s.if Gould carries out this
he will, the Rock Island will be
compelled to build to tide water
We have been moving in that direction
slowly for several years, but this imagine
will force US to stir our stumps and get into
Galveston as quickly as possible. Why, the
Missouri Pacific can make even higher
rate to New Orleans than we make to Chi
cago, and still get away with all export bust
ness, for the ocean rate applies from New
Orleans, while Chicago is nearly one thou
sand miles from tide water. Already Chi
cago is nearly being cut out as the gateway
for east-bound grain shipments, but l am
inclined to think this new scheme of Jay
Gould's will hurt it more than anything
else ,,

Complaint Of Tariff No. G.

Mr. Gresham was before the commission
and filed the following complaint: To the
honorable railroad commission of Texas
Your petitioners of the Galveston freight
bureau association of business men, having
their domicile in the city of Galveston,
respectfully file this their complaint against
commodity tariff No. G. and state first. that
the differential rate of cents per 100
pounds on cotton between Galveston and
Houston is excessive and more than the
service rendered by the railroad companies
is reasonably worth and moreS.than has
heretofore been charged. That it is an I'M
to ship cotton to this port and serves as an
inducement TO the railroad companies to
haul cotton to points beyond the state.
2. That the distance via the Gulf, Colo
RADIO and Santa Fe railroad from all points
in Texas to Galveston is nearly the same as
to Houston, and that the necessary cost to
said company in delivering cotton at Gal
weston is less than it is to deliver it at
Houston. In consideration of these facts
we respectfully ask your honorable body to
so amend your commodity tariff No. 6
that the rates on cotton from all points in
Texas to Houston shall be the rate to Gal
weston, less cents per 100 pounds. With a
view that you may have all the facts bear
ing upon these points before you, we ask
that the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe rail-
way company and the International and
Great Northern railroad company, and such
other parties as you may think necessary,
be summoned to appear before you at a day
fixed and show cause if any there be why
the rate asked for should not be granted.
The commission will cite the parties to
appear as soon as Commissioner Mclean
returns, probably next week

M'CABE'S ARREST.
Sure to be Tried on the Several Char ges
Against Him Unless He
Again Escapes.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Sept. 2S.-The ar
rest on yesterday of II. Z. McCabe, near
Alice, Nueces county, reopens an old ro-
nance and tragedy.
For some time the rangers have been on
his trail, but he had eluded them. McCabe
two years ago was the Judge of
Hidalgo county, and man of
much prominence and influence with the
voters of that section. He was embroiled
in number of political troubles, was in
constant hot-water with the superior courts,
and a participant in several serious ARRAYS.
One of the most vigorous of his opponents
was man named Max Stein, who
finally defeated him for the judgeship,
McCabe had u very beautiful
eighteen-year-old wife named Inez. daugh-
ter of Texas ranchman. One night dur
posite Rio Grande City, Inez shot and in
stantly killed Judge Stein, claiming that he
had attempted to outrage her. As the
offense was committed on Mexican
soil she was jailed at Matamoras
McCabe was charged as an Access
sorry and was jailed at Victoria.
Inez escaped by jumping from a window,
and broke her ankle in doing SO. She is
now on Texas soil. McCabe escaped from
the Victoria Jail after desperate encounter
with the guards, and also made his way to
Texas. There are several charges against
him, and he will be tried on them unless he
again escapes. He is red-headed man, not
in anyway attractive to the ordinary person,
but there is not the least doubt that his
beautiful wife will fly to his assistance.
She has frequently said that she would far
rather die with him than live without him.

Preston of New York and Archbishop
Williams of Boston. The statue is one of
Guisippi Luocetti's, one of the best-known
of the modern Italian school 1t occupied
him over year, and its total cost has been
over 10000.
The model of the statue was submitted to
the pope for his approval, and in return for
theigift the pontiff conferred the title of count
on Mr. LouDelo. The statue is of the size
known to sculptors as semi-colossal, and
represents the pope seated on the pontifcal
throne, vested in cassock, alb stole and
cape On his head is the tiara triple crown
The right hand is raised in the act of giving
blessing. while the left hand rests easily
On the chair of the throne. Three sides of
the pedestal bear inscriptions. On one side
are the papal arms, which are the armorial
bearings of the Pecci family, of which the
pope is member. On the opposite side are
the arms of Mr.. Loubelo as Roman count.

The balloon did not go up on account of
high wind
Thus ended the third annual fair of
Fannin county.
The ASSOCIATION is jubilant. 1t was
grand success, and the farmers of our
county are enthusiastic. and say that it
were over twenty thousand who visited
the fair during the five days, including
many strangers from a distance, and all
went away full of compliments and praise
for the fair and the association, whose
energy and pluck got up the biggest and
most profitable show which Fannin county
ever had. Something over 5000 were paid
in premiums to our citizens, to say nothing
of the new impetus, encouragement and
spirit of competition infused in our people
TO try and excel each other in agriculture,
stock raising and all the domestic pursuits
of life.
We have said nothing about the stock
exhibit during the fair on account of press
of time. Suffice it to say that there
was as pretty an exhibition of fine stock of
every kind as we ever saw, and we have been
at some large fairs. OF course our exhibit
was not as large as the Dallas state fair
but so far as it went we could compete with
any fair in the state. Our fair is now an
established and solid institution The as
sOciation is so much encouraged by its sue
cess that it has already begun to talk
about numerous improvements, one among
which is large artificial lake.
Many of our wealthiest farmers came for
ward and are anxious to take stock. The
association, however, is on its feet and
don't need any al i. Its grand success this
year paid for the investment.
