The ball given last night at Huffmsn,s
ha1 under the auspices of Fort Worth 10

perfect and the occasion was one long to be
remembered by members of the order and
their intimate friends.
The delegation from Dallas was quito
large, among those present being some of
the leading members of the order The
ladies present were: Misses Pearl Fergu-

years. Yesterday he was sixty-four years
old, and a number of his friends among the
directors and stockholders of the building
associations decided to present him with
token of their esteem. 1t was in the shape
Of handsome gold-headed ebony cane ap-
propriately inscribed, which was accom-
panied with the following letter of address:
FORT WORTH, TEX, March II, 1899.

A QUERY.
"Reader'' Wants to Know About the Re-
pairing Contract OF the DIDO Bridge.

"Reader" Wants to Know About the Re-
pairing Contract OF the DIDO Bridge.
Editor Gazette.
Permit me to inquire through your
columns what authority or precedent If
any there is for the action of the commits
sioners who let the contract for the repair
ing OF the Dido bridge across West Fork last
Tuesday. The board advertised for sealed
bios for this work 10 be opened on Monday,
the 18th instant. On the afternoon OF that
day, after the expiration of the hour set for
opening the bids and after they had opened
and read out every bid and it had been de-
termined who was the lowest bidder this
honorable body gave audience to the agent
OF the Wrought iron bridge company, who
sat through the reading OF the bids and
took notes and figures, and granted his re-
quest to be permitted to submit his bid on
the following day. OF course he was the
lowest bidder when he finally submitted
his proposition; and the honorable board
awarded him the contract. I would like to
be informed by what right the gentlemen
exposed the figures and calculations of
bona fide bidders, all Of them residents of
Fort Worth, to the agent of the Dallas
firm? And just why they vary the
terms Of their advertisement in discrimina-
ton against, and to the detriment of, their
fellow citizens READER
None of the commissioners were in the
city yesterday, so an explanation could not
be had from them. Deputy County Clerk
Prosser, who is record keeper of the com
missioners' court and is in attendance upon
all meetings, was seen by a GAZETTE man,
and said that at the first sitting Of the
commissioners, when the first set of bids
were opened, they all were considered too
high, and in consequence were rejected, the
commissioners reserving the right to reject
any or all bids, and the next day at 80 set
apart for considering new set of bids, AS
a result of this the lowest bidder of the
first day was the highest the next, and the
contract was let to the Wrought Iron Bridge
company for SSg0-Sl40 below the lowest of
the first day, and to bidder who had not
bid the first day.
Perhaps some one or all of the honorable
commissioners can enighten 'Readern
further upon the question.

A New Alliance Ticket.

Washington, April 14.-Illinois men
have been interested over Il Geographic
announcement in Il local paper that
"Gresham and Polk as a presidential
ticket would meet with great favor
among Farmers alliance men. 1t was
the general impression that Judge
Gresham would not permit the use Of
his name in such Il connection, One
Illinois congressman said, however; that
he had good reason to believe that
Judge Gresham was not only willing to
be the standard-bearer for the alliance
but actually working through his in
innate friends toward this end. The ron
gresham said that he had visited Kan
sas and Nebraska last fall ind had
found IL decided Gresham sentiment
among the alliance men. s'It was clear
to Inc at that time" said the Illinois
congressman, chat Gresham's friends
were cndcavoring to have this farmers
organization start IL Gresham boom in
the west, which would be taken up in
the east"
