Bright Business Outlook.

New YORK, Oct. 2.-Dun's trade re-
view says: The past week has brought
expected reaction in stocks, with passing
of dividends by the Missouri Pacific and
some trouble among the western roads.
But in the business of the country no re-
action appears, nor are there signs of
encouragement. In very many cases
the farmers will realize for their wheat
grown this year more than the entire
cost of their farms. Unreasonably hot
weather has for a time retarded some
changes, but a slight change is already
noticed. 1t is the most encouraging fact
that these favorable conditions have as
yet produced nc speculative craze. 1t is
fortunate for the country that appre-
tensions Of financial difficulty this fall
has powerfully restrained the specula-
tive tendency.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-The sixtieth an.

the secretary Of the interior. After al

the commissioner outlines what he re-

The report discusses at considera BILE

l. During the whole course of our
history the Indians of this country have
been treated as separate communities

been regarded as having relations direct

and not indirectly through the states or
to the states.

Gladstone. The immense building was
packed and color was lent to the scene
by the presence of many ladies. who
almost equalled the gentlemen in num-

companied by the mayor and mayoress
of Newcastle and John Moreley, the i'm

greeted him with prolonged and enthu-

his party proceeded to the platform
and when order had been restored the
mayor arose and delivered a long eulogy
on the life and work of Gladstone. He
then presented Gladstone with a parch-
ment making him a citizen of Newcastle,
and the latter signed his name to the
llst OF burgesses or freemen of the city.
Then Gladstone spoke in praise of the
principle of local government. The lat

in the care of their sick. Union lodge No.
3lS has three confirmed inyalids for the
past three months. which are a continual
drain on their treasury, but they see that
nothing will interfere with their duty and
look look after the continual wants of their
sick brethren. This lodge conferred the
initiatory degree last Thursday night, and
will confer the first degree next Tuesday
night on two subjects.
Fort Worth Lodge No. Psi, I. o. o. F.,
conferred the initiatOry on one subject last
Friday night. and will confer the initiatorv
and first degree on two subjects next Fri
day night. 1t is pity that there cannot be
a tirst-class team formed out of the material
that there is in the two lodges. The ma
terial is there if they will only go to work

OF daring deeds, to serve some sweet maid 5

OF fierce encounters met with beasts OF prey,
or vanquished foes, with which they strewed
the way
Till vaUlted roofs sent back the swelling sound,
And echoes chased the echoes round and round
Whilst courtiers brave unsheathed their scsb-
bard's steel
And plaudits loud rang out for krightly zeal!
And now, no less, the knight earth needs to-
Must bear his arms-must lead life's battle
fray
For truth, and for its laws. and power, and
might.
Must stay the wrong and crown the reign OF
right.
Till hearts bowed down with woe, grow brave
and strong,
And souls set free send out glad, new song.

A stamp that stands for purpose and for aim,
That leads man up 10 friendships holy place
And crowns him there-a knight of GOd-like

should buy and hold it. They could afford
to carry it but the farmer and the small
merchant cannot. l believe wheat Will sell

the reason that there is less wheat III the

selling now at 80 cents and one can readily
see what golden opportunity is offered

FL Paso Lodge Confers Degree in Span
ish-The Local Lodges.


Fl Paso lodge 2S4 l. o. o. F.. is noted for
its good work but last night it added q
laurel which but few lodges working in the
English is possible to attain. says the FL
PaSo Herald. Some time ago II received a
request from JuareZ lodge No. 9, OF the City
of Mexico, 10 confer the degrees of friend

Der of their lodge. now q resident of JuareZ.
The lodge to which the brother belongs is 4
Spanish working lodge, and the question
came up. how can an American lodge do sat
isfactory work on candidate not familiar
with the English language The question
was finally settled by the lodge lit having
several members who are well up in Span
ishy TO do the work in the language of the
municated to ". J. DeGress,
deputy grand sire for the re-
public of Mexico, and also TO the brothers,
much to their satisfaction. The officers
and members went to work and in sur
prisingly short time had the work so per-
feet that it is very doubtful if Spanish
lodge could make a better exemplitication,
and the degree of friendship was conferred
last night. The floor work was done as
usual, save that Spanish was substituted
for English, which included the lectures
and charges. The unwritten work was de-
ivered in English and translated as CON-
municated in an admirable manner.
a number of brothers witnessed the cere-
Inony. and the new and beautiful para
phernalia added brilliancy TO the scene.
Spectators from other lodges pronounced it
a magnificent rendition. while the candidate
highly appreciated the fact of receiving
from Americans and an American lodge
the work in his natural tongue. There was
not flaw or hitch in the progress OF the
work The members themselves take d
just pride in what was accomplished. The
other degrees, viz: Brotherly Love and
Truth, will at future date be conferred in
like manner.
After the work the lodge returned to the
third degree. when the semi-annual reports
were read, after which Frank E. Hunter,

Treasury Man without Gloves.
Attorney w F. Ramsey of Cleburne is in
the city. He was present yesterday at the
Alliance picnic six miles west of Cieburne,
at Lee 5 academy. and in conversation with
q GAZETTE reporter was gloryins over the
excOriation which SubTreasury Tracy re-
ceived at the hands of Senator NJ. NJ. Crane.
Seven thousand people were present and
witnessed Tracy's Waterloo. Several
times heretofore Democrats have been
invited to debate this question with Cole
man, Macune and others, but have not been
allowed to speak Yesterday the Demo

that no blnff game should be worked.
Senator Crane spoke first, addressing the
crowd for an hour and a half. Tracy fol
lowed with a speech of the same length.
Senator Crane then closed his speech with
a half hours talk. and Tracy;S reiOinder
was the same length. Mr. Ramsey SAYS that
the apostle of sub-treasuryism was evi-
IDENTIFY ratified. and made ali sorts of state
ments and bold propositions. Tracy said
afterwards that Crane was the strongest
man he had vet met on this question, and
acknowledged that he was little bested in
the argument. The crowd was enthusiastic
over the result, and repeatedly cheered
Senator Crane, as he one by one pointed out
the fallacies of the sub-treasury fraud.
Mr.. Ramsey, Just as the reporter was
taking his leave, said: You may say that
