Suicide of General BOulanger.

General Boulanger committed suicide
about noon last Wednesday on the tomb oil
Madame de Bonnemain, in the cemetery at
Ixelles, one mile south of Brussels,
The Baltimore San says f'the suicide OF
General Boularger recalls from oblivion a
name which was two years ago in every
ones mouth. Born in 1887 in Rennes,
George Ernest Marie Boulanger in 1866
entered the military school of st. Cyr, after
which he was In the French army, serving
in Algeria, in Italy, in Cochin-China, with
Bazaine at Metz in 1870, and later under
the government of national defense at
Champigny. He was sent with other
French officers TO represent France at
Yorktown on the occasion Of the erection
of monument at that place in 1881, and
was present at our Oriole festivities in that
year. His first prominence was attained
when he became minister of war in 1886 in
the cabinet of NJ. de Freycinet. He re-
tanned the war portfolio in the ministry of
NJ. Goblet, M. de Freycinets successor.-
About this time he became the idol of the
Partisan mob in the character of military
genius and prospective leader in the war of
revenge upon Germany. A popular march
to which his name was given became the
rage. On the fall of the Goblet ministry
General Boulanger ceased to be minister of
war and was ordered away from Paris, but
his vanity and ambition ha. g been ex-
cited he manifested an insubordinate dis
position, with the result that he was retired
from the army. Thereupon he began an
open political propaganda in opposition to
the ministry, and also, it was believed, in
opposition to the republic. Seeing in him
mesns of overthro owing tie republic, the
royalists, the imperialists, the radicals and
socialists united to supply lin with money
and votes. Such was bis SUCCESS in 1889 in
the elections at Paris and 10 various provin-
ces that the belief prevailed in many minds
that France was about to see the end of the
parliamentary regime. At this point, how
ever, General Boulanger ruined his career
by fleeing to Belgium to avoid arrest and
trial on certain charges of misuse of public
money which the ministry had trumped up.
His party collapsed, and revelations as to
the financing of his movement completed
his political ruin. In exile, unfortunately,
the General did not, by the dignity of his
life, seek to repair the disaster of his politi-
cal blunder. He devoted himself to a
woman, to the neglect Of his wife. To
emphasize, one might say, this phase of bis
character he ended his life at the grave of
this mistress, who died last July, thus con
arming the judgment of those who say that
he was never fit man to be charged with
the destinies of France.''

HOLD YOUR WHEAT.
The Doctrine Preached by IgnatIus Don
nelly to the Farmers OF Min
nesOta.

ST. Paul, MINI, Sept 30-Two more
wheat hold your-crop'' Circular are out.
The first is from Ignatius Donnelly pres
ident of the Minnesota Alliance, who urges
the farmers to hold their wheat for thirty
days longer. In it he says: think every in
telligent man in Minnesota knows that
but the Alliance as IN organizat on has not
taken the responsibility of giving any ad-
vice upon the subject, believing it to be out
side of their function to do SO, and
a hazardous experiment to make in any
official way. But it is very clear that II
not bushel Of wheat is sold i'll Minnesota
by the farmers during the next thirty days
the wheat pits of Chicago. New York
and London would be full of dead
bears and the farmers would get for their
crop what it is really worth. Sell potatoes,
barley, rye, anything else. Stand off your
creditors for time. Keep on blowing, but
don't sell any wheat for q month and
see what will be the result. l do
not say TO you that wheat will go to so or
s. a bushel, nor do ask you to hold your
crop till next spring, nor do 1speak in behalf
of the state Farmers Alliance, but in my
individual capacity 1 express my belief
that the farmers are being robbed of one
fourth the value of their product, and THAI
they should stop all sales of wheat for q
time and let it out slowly, so as not to break
the market.
The state will come out on Friday with q
circular. The contents of the circular ara
much the same as that of the last one. This
one simply takes up the wheat situation
where others left OFF.

VOL. Kill NO. Al.

The owls serenaded the visitors with ap.
parent welcome, and the beaver 0a;hed in
the stream near by, giving sounds at mid
mis- ut which seemed regretful that tres
passers had invaded their domain and would
soon drive them from their heritage.
The portion of country visited by our
party is not adapted to farming but well
suited to stock-raising. Many are dis
gusted and leaving, satisfied never to re-
turn. Others were disappointed in that
they expected TO homestead. whereas they
are required TO pre-empt. That means az
least fourteen months residence and 81 -
per acre, besides the expense of filing. etc
The comfortably situated farmer will not
better his condition by making change.

SNYDER, SCURRY COUNTY. TEX, Oct.3.-
The whole county is anXiously awaiting the
district court which convenes on the Goth
instant. The docket of that court is the
largest perhaps of any county in the state.
1t shows over 300 land cases wherein the
state is plaintiff, nearly all of which
are for the forfeiture of school lands
purchased under the act of 1851, for the
nOn-payment of interest. Nearly all of the
lands will be forfeited by default, which
will give 300 homes more for settlers. One
suit which has become famous is J. S.
Hogg, governor, VS.. c. c. Gibbs ct al. 1t
is a suit for something over 300, 0(0 acres of
land, which the state claims and also the
defendants claim. If the state wins it, one
half is school land and one-half is public
domain, and all subject to settlement. The
public domain, of course, Is given free to
the settler, 100 acres to each head of d
family and eighty acres to every young man
over eighteen years of age 1t seems that
keep their eye on this, as it is free,

Culberson is giving his personal attention

DEER IN KARNES COUNTY.
They Seem to Have Gathered There from
All the Southwestern Country-An
Unusual Sight.
Special to the Gazette.

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Oct. "A dispatch
from Runge, Karnes county, says: For
some unexplained reason the deer of neigh
boring counties appear to have all conferred
near here. For three weeks past the brush
has been filed with bucks, does and fawns.
They have vauited over pasture wires, and
in many places cropped the grass in the
pastures so closely that cattle cannot live
on it. They have invaded corntieldS and
broken down the growing stalks, and in
some of the cotton plantations their pas
sage has been marked by swath Of crushed
plants.
Venison has been killed and given away
here until no one will eat it. Yesterday
afternoon Sam Daily, ranchman, left town
OH horseback. A half-mile away he ran
into bunch of thirty deer. which were
browsing on the inside of the road. He
was armed with Colts revolver, and
emptied six barrels into the fleeing herd.
He was rewarded by three dead deer and
one which had its spine touched by bull
let. 1t ran a short distance and was sub
sequently taken. Preparations are being
made for a grand deer drive, in which 200
men will take part. 1t is the intention to
gradually pen the animals in the corner of
pasture fence. For fear of accidents the
hunters will be armed only with pistols
and clubs.
