marvellous cures. And all we ask in return is
that every patient treated will state to their

TEXAS BUILDING.
A Description of the Structure
to Go Up in jackson Park.
TYPICAL OF s:THE LONE STAR.
1t VIII be Built of staff, Composition
Susceptible of Great Ornamental
tion-Texas Woods VIII be
Used-Its Apartments.

TITS Texas building, designed by Gordon
& Laub architects, San Antonio, Tex, will
be one of the large largest and most attract
i've state buildings erected in Jackson
park, at the Worlds Columbian exposi-
ton, to be held in the city of Chicago from
May until November, 1898.
The building will be of the Spanish
renaissance style of architecture, and will
be located on one of the most commanding
sites in the Worlds fair grounds. This
site is 500 feet long, with an average width
of $50 feet, and it is Immediately to the
right as visitor enters the north end Of
Jackson park, which being the nearestspoint
to the grounds from the city of Chicago, will
be one of the grand and popular entrances.
The Texas building faces east towards
Lake Michigan, which is about 600 feet
distant across the park. From the towers
of the Texas building can be seen all the
attractive steam craft that will be plying
in the lake during the six months of the
exposition, and from these towers the Wis
itors can see all the other buildings of
states and nations, including the palace of
fine arts, in this section of the park.
The Empire state of New York, whose
legislature has recently appropriated $780,
900 to enable its citizens 10 be creditably
represented at the Worlds fair, has Sc
lected as the design for its statehouse at
the exposition duplicate of the VauRenn-
selaer manor house at Albany, and the

also be used for receptions and gatherings,
where the Texas people can meet and get
acquainted with visitors from all parts of
the globe.
In the interior of the rotunda above there
will be a massive Texas star of glass, ar
ranged to brilliantly illuminate the entire
assembly hall. This hall, and in fact the
whole interior of the building, should be
built OF Texas materials; Texas woods for
flooring, wainscohng, stairways, balus-
trades, doors, windows, and Texas iron
columns of native iron ore. as well as Texas
granite, marble, sandstone and limestone
for columns and other construction. Con-
Meeting with the assembly hall on the west
Is a broad. corridor running the full length
of the building The rooms on the left of
this corridor are as follows: First, a room
finished like handsome hotel Office, where
there will be q large register in which
Texans can note where they are stopping,
and leave any other information that they
desire their friends to know about them
while they are in Chicago attending the
exposition. Persons in charge of this office
will furnish all information desired by
Texans.
The next room viii be a place where Tex
Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1892-02-26

ans can have their satchels and other par
GELS checked, and where they can secure
telegraph and telephone service. Among
the other rooms on this side of the build
ing, will be room where all newspapers
sent from Texas Will be kept on file; also
reading and writing rooms for the Texas
newspaper men. On the other side of the
corridor are rooms for the officers of the
Texas Worlds fair exhibit association, and
for the women's state executive commit
tee, including one or two rooms to be used
as temporary hospitals where, if a Texan
is taken suddenly i'll on the grounds, he can
be cared for until other arrangements can
be made for his comfort. There is also on
this side of the building, large room
known as the Texas historical museum, in
which should be shown the paintings of all
the governors of Texas, and any other his
torical paintings and works of art that the
state may own. In the center of this long
corridor, is to be large fountain, around
which can be placed Texas plants, flowers,
etc. This corridor is open all the way to
the roof, there being a skylight in the roof,
almost as long as this corridor. and a baIus-
trade encircling the second floor.
The space of the entire second floor will
be devoted to county collective exhibits of
all the products and resources of the state,
and, if necessary, large portion of the
first floor can be used for the same pur-
pose.
The roof of the building will be of brown
Spanish tile, which will form an appro-
pirate contrast with the color of the exte-
rior walls Of the building.
Work on this building should commence
not later than April of this year, and the
building should be entirely completed in
time for the dedicatory celebration. which
occurs in this city on the 18th, 18th and 18th
of next October.
The cost of the building will depend very
largely upon the amount of material that is
donated by the people of Texas and the
rates charged by the railroads for hauling
the same to Chicago. Now that Texas has
secured one of the finest sites on the
Worlds fair grounds and plans for one of
the best state buildings that will be erected,
which plans have been approved by the
chief Of construction and the director-gen-
eral, it does seem that there ought to be
enough patriotic men and women in the
Lone Star state to contribute the money
and material required to build this house
and have the state creditably represented
at the Worlds Columbian exposition.

WHITNEY, HILL COUNTY. TEX, Feb. "a
Yesterday the citizens of this place and vi
cinity held meeting for the purpose of ac-
containing the mind of the people relative
to the extension of the Cotton Belt" from
Hillsboro to this place. W. T. Moore was
elected chairman and J. 7. Mayes secretary
The object of the meeting was explained
by DR.. w. T. Moore in brief but pointed
speech. The meeting was unanimously in
favor of offering such encouragement to the
management as was in its power.
A committee was appointed to arrange
for another general ass-meeting in the
near future and to advertise it well among
the people of this section. The committee

equally as great state of PENNSYLVANIA,
whose legislature appropriated the same
amount for similar purpose, has chosen
for the design of its statehouse duplicate
of independence Hall at Philadelphia.
With the same good sense and propriety
the Empire state of Texas, through its
Worlds fair representatives, has selected
for the design of its statehouse the Spanish
style of architecture suggestive of that
monument OF Texas valor and patriotism
located in San Antonio and known as The
Alamo"
The Texas building is 3S4 feet long and
sixty feet wide. It is two stories in height
with four towers at each of the four cor
ners of the main portion of the building. 1t
has two grand entrances, the first facing
toward the lake. being Immediately oppo-
site to the Utah building, while the other
main entrance is near the southeast corner
of the building facing toward the other
state buildings. Half way down on the
southern side of the building, is another
very handsome entrance, while on the west
end there will be a portico similar TO the
style of porticos seen on old Spanish homes.
This west-end portico looks out upon 4
beautiful grove of trees. Just beyond which
will be erected some handsome and attract
i've building that viii probably be used for
a restaurant. The north side of the build
ing runs parallel with the north fence Of
the exposition ground Immediately in
front of the building there are q few beau
tiful shade trees, and to the south pretty
lawn, separating the Texas state house
from the Kansas building.
The exterior of the Texas building will
be built of a material called staff, which IS
being used on the outside of all the large
exposition buildings. This staff, which is
! composition of plaster of Paris and hemp,
was used extensively at the Paris EXPOSE
ton, and is susceptible of being moulded
into any ornamentation desired. II win be
peculiarly appropriate for the Texas build
ing, as in this material all the richness of
~ Spanish renaissance style of architect
ure can be produced
Entering the building at the east or
southeast entrance, after passing through
a magnificent colonnade, one comes into the
assembly hall, which is 75x75 feet square,
and open to the roof with handsome gal
lery encircling the second floor On the
sUBrth side of this hall is a rostrum from
which distinguished Texans can frequently
deliver addresses during the six months of
the exposition upon the grandeur and glory
of our Lone Star state, proelaiming to the

THE SAP TROUBLE.
Another Strike May Result, Brought
About by the Old Firemen.


About by the Old Firemen.
Special 10 the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO TEX, Feb. 25.-The indi-
cations are that more serious trouble is
brewing among the employees of the San
Antonio and Arkansas Pass railroad There
have been but very few of those who were
participants in the recent strike reinstated,
and the firemen claim that inasmuch as
they were not party to the strike any
further than that they refused to work
with scabs, they should Immediately be
given their old positions.
Superintendent George Sands has re-
fused to do this and the matter was laid
before f. A. Sargent, grand chief of the
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Firemen, who
arrived here to-day 10 investigate the
grievance.
A conference of the principal officials of
the road, Mr.. Sargent and a committee of
firemen was held today, but no result was
reached, the road officials refusing to grant
the demands of the men. Another confer
ence will be held tomorrow
MIR. Sargent stated in an interview this
evening that he does not know how the
matter viii result, and that another strike
may be declared. If such is done, the en-
ployes of the other Texas roads viii. it Is
claimed, come to the aid of the Arkansas
Pass men, causing a general tie-up of all
connecting lines.

Yanderbnt,s Dream.

Rumor has 1t that Commodore Wander
bits dream has been realized. It is said
I b t the Vanderbilt interests have secured
control of the St. Paul system, and that the
grand alliance now includes the ST. Paul,
the Northwestern and the Union Pacific,
that is, q through line from New York to
the Pacific ut Portland and San Francisco.
If true, it is the most important railroad
deal in many years. Chauncey NJ. Depew
denies it. Sail he 10 an Associated Press
reporter in New York; Commodore Van
derbilt never had any such dream. The
Vanderbilt interests have made no such at
tempt to control nor have they succeeded
in getting control in any way, shape or
manner of the St Paul system. There is
10 truth in the story, and you will find that
such combine exists only on the floor of
the stock exchange"
