HOgg Club at Fort Worth.

Fort WORTH, Tex, April ga
Hogg and Commission club was
formed tonight. The list had been
circulated for several days, and OBJ
tanned 424 signatures. About seventy
five men came out to the meeting last
night and adopted the following reso-
lutions:
The object fthis club is to preserve
and maintain in its full vigor and
strength the present railway commits
sion laws as fixed by the constitu-
tion and enacted by the Fourteenth
legislature of our state, to the
end, that the people may be protected
against unreasonable and oppressive
rates and charges of railroad corpora
tions and thus to promote and en-
courage the building of factories and
other industrial enterprises and there
by to create home market for all the
products of our soil, and believing
that the objects set forth can be more
certainly secured by the reelection of
Governor Hogg, who has proved him
self to be the friend of the people,.
we hereby agree to bind ourselves to
use all honorable means to secure his
nomination and election by the de-
mocracy of Texas.

BAT GUANo.
A correspondent recently asked the
value of bat guano. Professor e. r..
Dumble, state geologist, in an article
on fertilizers in Texas Farm and
Ranch, throws some light on that
point. Ee writes: This guano is
found in a great number Of caves
stretching south and west from the
Brazos to the Rio Grande. In some
the quantity is small; in others the
teaching action of water has carried
off the principal elements of value,
while fire has injured it in other places.
Ihere are many caves, however, in
which the deposit Is not only abund-
ant, but on account of its dryness is
we'll preserved. Analysis of bat
guano, made from deposits of this
character, shows that it is worth for
fiertillzing purposes at the rates al
lowed in the different states where
the value of fertilizers is fixed by law,
from $50 to $55 per ton, or equal
to many of the imported guanos. Its
value is due to the amonia, potash,
and PHOSPHORUS it contains, and
when intensive" farming is in
augurated in Texas, it will be of great
value to our people.

ism of the masses, am sure they can
not mistake nor will they dodge the
issue now before them. While we re-
joice over the liberties of the people
won at San JIcinto by soldierly pro-
cess, it is we'll for us to pledge our
selves to the cause begun two years
ago, renewed today and finally to be
won by untrammelled ballots in Aug
ust and November, giving freedom to
the masses now and forever from cor
porate power. The people will rule
Texas. Enforce the law.

SWEET POTATO CULTURE.

SWEET POTATO CULTURE.
One Of the objections raised to the
sweet potato crops is the amount of
back-bending involved in planting
slips. A remedy Tor this difficulty is
given by Mr.. F. II. Ramsey in the last
issue of Texas Farm and Ranch.
After showing the value of the crop
he says: l never stoop to plant clip.
Keep the ground clean until planting
time, then ridge few days before
planting; drop the slips on the ridge,
and with stout stick, the length of a
walking cane, slightly fiattened and
notched in the end, push the slip
down and water it, if the ground is
dry, and if it is moist press it with
the foot. Planting slips in this way is
easier than doing nothing. Some
times l dig before frost and some
times after. People used to say if
the vines got frosted the potatoes
would rot. 1t is not so. When am
ready to dig, I take rolling coulter
off of cassidy pillow and bolt it to a
simple beam and run it around the
row with weight on, then bar off
with turning pillow, then
with three horses to the cassidy,
with one furrow, / turn
the VIII Die row over on
its side; then by catching the vines by
the collar end pulling them up, we
come nearer getting all of the potatoes
than we use to when we plowed and
picked the ground several times.
Birdie THE BREEZE.
There is much force in wind says
the American Agricultural. A wind
that blows no man any good, is rare
one, but wind that can not be har-
messed and made to do much good is
more uncommon. There are many
things upon the farm that need q
steady expenditure of force, such as
tilling of the land and harvesting of
crops and the wind may not be able to
do this kind of work. But there are,
likew Use many offices that the winds
can do, and their good effects can be
stored up against day of calm. The
most familiar is the pumping of wa
ter, and windmills are almost syn
onymus with pumping. May not the
windmill as we'll raise hugh weight,
and thus store up power that may be
liberated when needed? The corn
shelter, tanning mill, buzzsaw, grain
mill, and many other implements re-
quiriug steady power could thus be
run at slight expense. Think OF
these things, and attempt to catch the
breeze that now blows where it list
esth, and make it useful servant.

A Terrible Thing in n Battle,

The house committee on naval affairs for some days has had under considera- tion bill providing for the addition to the navy of novel craft.
 The feature of the design is found in an enormous submarine gun carried at the bow below the water line. The pro jectors feel that they have now prac- ticable means at hand to drive an enor- nous shell loaded with an explosive charge of gunpowder or gun cotton into the hull of any irOnclad ai.oat and ex- plode it in the very vitals of the ship
 According to the design submitted to the committee and explained by Gen eral Berdan, hydraulic buffer projects from the bow of the vessel. This is so adjusted that it win stop the boat dis tance of eight feet from the enemy's ship without injury to the boat. At this short range the buffer automatically dis charges the submarine gun directly at the hull of the ship, and lodges within it q shell carrying bursting charge of 450 pounds of powder, sufficient to blow down every bulkhead in the ship and wreck the bottom. .-Cincinnat Com mercial Gazette.

Glad to Get Rid of Him.

A few days ago Governor Buchanan was called upon to exercise executive clemency in very peculiar case. The person concerned was man held in jail at Jackson till be should produce 5000 fine. He had been there over a year without showing any signs of liquidating with the commonwealth, and it is prob able he would have remained prisoner for the next fifty years if payment had been waited for. The county court. recognizing him as an incubus to the amount of forty cents day, passed a resolution asking the governor flor the Lords sake" to forgive that little $2O0 and let the man get out and earn his own living. The trial judge and the attorney general and the members of the jury all appeared on the petition sent up in &C., cordance with the resolution, but not a single friend of the prisoner was among the signers.

Some Allered nir salnrIes.

The story is being told in New York that the proprietor of a certain well known morning newspaper has made an offer to a successful publisher of Chi cago to come to New York for five years at an annual salary of $100,000. Whether this report be true or not, it has occa- stoned good deal of gossip.
 Perhaps in nothing more than in the question of salaries is there so much said that is untrue. have no doubt there are a small number of gentlemen who are paid from $25, ,000 to $100, ,000 a year for their services, but whether they are worth it or not is another question. The tendency is always to exaggerate on the salary question anyhow, and it is more than likely that not half the sum mentioned is actually paid to any man.
 It is the same way with the authors of books. A little while ago it was said that Ward McAllister had received $25,- 900 for his published volume on "Soci- ety as l Have Found It." MT. McAllis- ter now comes forward and spells this pretty fiction by stating positively that he received only about g, 700, and that is why he hesitates about accepting an offer made to him by Chicago firm of publishers. He says there is no money in books.
 The men who are paid $lOO, ,0OO year in New York for any services whatever are so few as to be lonesome. Those who receive $j0,000 could probably be numbered inside of hundred. Those who receive S25,000 year are of course more numerous, but there are not enough of them to cause any very general dis turbance in financial ceuters. And am quite inclined to the belief that any man who receives from Sl0,0O0 to $20,00O a year as salary is, like the famous Reilly who kept the hotel, doing exceedingly well.-Foster Coates in New York Mail and ExDrpsg

GETTIN' DRUNK.
A YOUNG MAN STARTS OUT WITH
 THE AVowED PURPOSE.
some Comments on the Proposition by Republican RePorter-A Striking Pen Picture Drawn From Real Life.

"I'm goin' to get drunk tomorrow night" remarked a young mechanic last night.
 "All right, replied the partner, "Pil be with you. I'll have Sl0 tomorrow night an I'll blow every d-d cent of it in. A feller can't get good and drunk on less n $l0."
 This elaborately planned drunk is to take place tonight and the reporter con tidently expects to see the familiar faces of the two young gentlemen in the pris- oners' dock in the police court tomorrow morning. Here is the secret of 'aharchy in America. Here were two young men who do nOr look as if they were capable of earning more than $2 day deliber- ately planning to spend in a single night the proceeds of weeks hard labor.
 On the following morning both will feel like anarchists. They will have nothing left with which to pay fine, or if they should luckily escape the police they will be able to buy neither break fast or another drink. The world will not seem like the world cf the night be- fore and they will naturally enough get to cursing the order of things which keeps them poor and makes some men rich. This is about all there is to an archy in this country.
 The anarchist is the fellow whose real grievance is not that he does not own lands and banks and bonds, but that he can't get enough to drink. He doesn't really object tothe system that makes it possible for the other fellow to be a millionaire. He's against the other fel- low because he doesn't drink. If the millionaire should happen to be dissi- pated sort of person his crime of being wealshy is atoned for in the eyes of the anarchist. It is only against the sober and diligent sons of wealth that the anarchists malignity is directed.
 These observations are not calculated to show that every sober man may be- come millionaire, or that every drunken man is necessarily an anarch- ist. It is only intended to show that anarchists are drunkards.

Made Her Left Handed bv A Y,o,

Three years ago q young lady of Fall River, Mass, was hit upon the left side of her head by falling sign as she was walking along street in Boston This was followed by brain fever After some weeks she was as well in mind and body as ever, but from a right handed person she had become so left handed that she could neither cut, sew nor write with her right hand, but found it easy to do all these things with her left. Her right hand was just about as useful as her left had been before she was hurt. What is strange is that, with so recent change in the use of her hands, she never makes an awkward motion and is as graceful in the use of her left hand as If she had been born left handed. -Bos- ton Post

A New Musical Instrunent.

The pedal clarionct," as it is not very happily called, stands an octave below the bass clarionet, and in one of its two varieties produces the lowest note yet attained by any instrument, with the one exception of the organ. Its tone is wonderfully distinct, even in it's deepest notes, and it is far more agreeable than that of the double bassoon, with which it is most closely allied in compass. It has range of three octaves. It's quail. ties were elaborately exhibited by Mir. Bretonneau, of the Paris opera.-Bos ton Courier.
