Del Vale Correspondence.

DEL VALE, Tex, Sept. "a, 1892.
To The Statesman:
Cotton picking is still the work of
the day. Almost everyone has picked
over their crop the first time and will
soon commence on the second picking
which is going to yield more than was
expected. Every body is selling their
cotton as fast as they can get it out.
"No holding this year." they say.
They have found out that 1t does not
pay to hold for better price. The
cotton dries out faster this year after
baling than before.
Mr.. j. B. Norwood has returned
home from Manor where he has been
waiting ON sick relatives. He intends
to stay over until after his crop is
gathered.
Mr.. Chas. Marshall's little boy who
was injured by jumping from trunk
not long ago, is convalescing very
slowly.
A Mexican on Tom Houston's place,
died last Thursday night. They let
him lie at the point of death for some
time before sending for the doctor.
At last the Mexican became speec h.
less and then they went for the doc
tor but it was too late. Nothing
could be done for him as he was dying
when the doctor arrived.
Mrs. s. b. Lane is great deal bet
ter, at present. In fact she is almost
we'll, judging from her being up a
great deal lately.
A new residence is being built near
the county bridge that spans the Colo
RADIO river.
One of the grandest picnics of the
season was held on the grassy banks
of the creek Thursday event lg by
Mrs. f. A. Maxwell and Mrs. w. M.
Givens and Misses Hattie King and
Bertha Wilson. They enjoyed q
being the only meal they partook of,
while the DIR. and VIM. M. were at
home singing "Who Cares for Hubby
Now"
Messrs. Matthews & Givens, at
Cedar Creek are doing a fiourishing
business. Collecting is excellent and
money plentiful. They haul from
twenty to thirty bales of cotton to
Austin week.
VIM. M. Givens, at Del Vale, Is also
doing fine business. Collections are
all coming in at once, which causes q
very broad grin to appear on the
"boss'" face.
A literary society is going to COM
mence at Burditt's Prairie school
house the first Friday in next month.
This is what we have been needing
for long time, and we hope that
much good will be derived from 1t.
AT least, 1t will help to drive away
the bashfulness from some of US poor
boys. Everyone should take an inter-
est in and do all in their power to
make its progress bright.
Another one of those world famed
candy breakings was held at the resi-

AS TO THE CHOLERA.
There is Nothing New an Nothing to be
Excited About.

Late last night DIR. Swearingen said
he had heard nothing more about the
cholera whirl in San Antonio. 1t
seems one man died suddenly theSs
of a can of Holsters and quantity Of
beer consumed at one sitting, and an
other man has sparodic case of chol-
era. The latter is getting along all
right and will recover. He Is COM
pletely isolated. DIR. Swearingen
says there is no reason for excitement;
everything along the line is quiet and
Texas Is in good healthy condition.
He pledges himself promptly to give
the note of warning should such be-
come necessary. Keep cool and don't
cross bridges until you got to tn EN-.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 6.-Twelve
thousand people saw Nancy Hanks go
a mile in 2:06 at the fair grounds. New
Albany, Ind, this afternoon. The track
was in excellent condition, and the lit
tie Kentucky queen was in the prime
of condition. She went two exhibition
mile heats early in the afternoon, and
it was nearly 5 o'clock when Budd Do
bic and the little mare came up on the
track.
At the first trial Abe Lincoln, the
queens running mate, ran into the out

ded his head. and Nancy was Off at her
world-beating gait. She was to beat

would do it. She went the first quarter
in 50 3-5 seconds and the half in 1:03.
LII 30 % after starting she flew by the
three-quarter flag, never having been
touched by the whip. In the stretch
Doble tapped the little wonder several
times and she came under the wire in

WAR ON POOL ROOMS.
A Prosecuting Attorney Believes
Wire-Tappers Are Good Allies.

A Prosecuting Attorney Believes
Wire-Tapners Are Good Allies.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 6.-Robert Smith,
formerly Western Union operator;
John Smith. his brother. and Charles
Dougherty, lineman, were in the
police court this morning charged with
tapping the wires OF the Western Union
Telegraph company for the purpose of
defrauding pool rooms by holding the
reports of races until accomplices could
place bets on winners.
The prosecuting attorney was iudls-
posed to prosecute. Privately he said
the pool rooms were law-breakers, the
city was trying to suppress them, and
he looked upon wire-tappers as efficient
assistants in breaking up the illegal
business. In the court room, however,
he based his objection to prosecution
on the ground of defects in the statute
under which the arrest Is made. The
Western Union company is deeply in
terested in the punishment of wire
tapperS, and will push the prosecution.
The cases were continued until Tuesday
next.
The chief of the police began war
on the pool rooms this afternoon. De-
tectives were sent out with instructions
to arrest as many bettors as they could
atch in the act of buying pools. and to
bring the attaches of the rooms who re-
ceived the money. The operators got
wind of the intended raid and were on
the lookout for detectives. The first
few rounds the officers made resulted
in waterhauls, but later in the day sew
eral arrests were made.

three grades of wheat bring in, say, 81
cents bushel. whereas, if it had been
inspected out at the proper grade, it
would have been as low as so cents, and
perhaps lower.
Who the Mixer Is.
The mixer is man of no inconsider-
able standing and Importance. As in
other cases of sharp practice there may
be suspicion against him, but it is the
most difficult thing to get proof, and the
tendency of mankind is to make no
charge absolutely. unless their charges
are susceptible Of strict proof. great
deal of wheat goes into Minneapolis and
IS bought by the mills OH track, not pass
ing through the elevators. OF course
the elevators get nothing for it, The
elevators rIn L.,
traction from their profits, and the little
matter of mixing wheat is not the sort
OF thing they are going to stick at
provided they can get the trade. They
even tell the mixer they will mix
wheat for a certain price per bushel
The rule is that the inspection of
wheat out is more lenient than the in
spection of wheat 10. This is system of
robbery which does not necessarily affect
the farmers, but it is an example of the
methods adopted in Minneapolis, upon
that honorable basis which Mr.. Pills
bury assumes as the basic principle of
his dealings.

handles the great wheat ring without
gloves in recent issue of his paper.
The article follows:
History will have to be ranSacked
pretty carefully to find prototype of
the gigantic wheat Swindle which has
Just been brought to light in pamphlet
issued by G. G. Wolcott, of Chicago,
an experienced grain dealer. 1t goes
on to show that a tremendous combine,
with numberless ramificatlons, has ex-
listed between the elevator companies,
the millers and the railway companies
OF the Northwest for the purpose Of
robbing the farmers of the Northwest
ern states of the fruits OF their very
severe labors. For years the farmers of
Minnesota. the DakOtas-aye, and even
to the Pacific coast-have struggled
along. gradually sinking deeper in the
quicksandS of debt and poverty. And
what was the reason? This they
'sCould Not Wei Make Out"
but it seemed as though the elevator
companies were in some way to blame.
SO in sore distress, they some years ago
sent representative, in the person of
Mr.. Arnold, of Larimore, n. D., to con-
Ter with {. A. PillSbury, the flour
king" a leading church member. and
Republican, upon the, ACCESSIBILITY of
erecting their own elevators and trans
acting their own business. 1t was
something like the kid going to the
tiger to propose plans to prevent his be-
ing eaten. Alarmed that any such
dangerous idea should have crept into
the bucOlic mind, Mr.. Pillsbury hast
ened to draw touching picture of the
poverty of the unfortunate elevator
men. and solemnly warned them to have
nothing to do with elevators, if they
would be saved from the poorhouse.
About this time French banker, with
some funds to invest. writes 10 MeSsrs.
Pillsbury and WaShburn to inquire as to
The Dividends Paid
by their elevator systems. The an
swer sent to the French banker affords
startling contrast to that sent to the
Dakota farmers. The letter sent to
Dakota claimed that the elevator bust
ness was carried on at loss; that sent
to France showed cOnclusively that
their profits often ran as high as so per
cent. and would average as high as So.
The book goes on to show that there is
In existence an immense combine en-
bracing all the elevator and railroad
companies in the Northwest, whose OBJ
Ject is to Systematically rob the I'M
fortunate farmer. He is robbed on all
hands, cheated in the weighing, de-
frauded in the grading, Overcharged by
the railways, and again defrauded at
the docks, while their grain sold at an
advance OF from 16 cents to 20 cents per
bushel OH what they received for it,
W hen 1t was sold in Minneapolis.

then claimed that in matter affecting
the interests of the Western roads the
Jurisdiction of the Chicago Railroad as
ISOLATION should not take precedence
over the Western Passenger association.
In the latter body the minority is not
bound by the wishes of the majority,
ana unanimous approval is necessary to
accept any proposition involving q
change in rates. The Northwestern re-
ferred this question to Chairman Cald-
well for a ruling. The chairman had
conference with representatives Of the
interested lines this afternoon, but re-
served his decision. No formal notice
mas yet been given by the Union Pacific
of its appeal to arbitration from the dis
agreement in the Chicago Railroad as
ISOLATION, but the appeal will be made.

TO WRESTLE TONIGHT,
Higgins and Moth Will Try Con-

The Higgins-Moth catch-as-catch-c can
wrestling match will come off at the
Olympic this evening for purse of $3.50
and stake. Higgins concluded his
training at Fort Smelling yesterday and
he is in perfect condition. Indeed, he
required very little training, for lie has
had recent matches in the East, and
was in fairly good condition when he
made tile match. lie has come a long
way to meet Moth, although his first
mission to the West was to get OH
match with Jack King, the Canadian
giant. Moth returned last evening from
Beloit, and he never looked finer. He
is rather light, and some think he has
trained down too much, but this can
scarcely be true, for he only trained ten
days. The match will come in cOnnec-
ton with the regular vaudeville exhibit
ton at the Olympic.

GERMANS WAY BEHIND.
One LOng-Distance Ride by Uncle
Sans Soldiers,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-The riding
contest between Austrian and German
officers and cayalrymen to determine
the question Of superiority of horseman-
ship and endurance of men and beast
has been closely watched by military
men in this city. The result, they say,
accordS with their experience in Amer
lea, where endurance in military is so
common as to attract no special notice.
Some years ago Capt. Guy V. Henry,
of the United States cavalry Che is now
Maj. Henry and commandant at Fort
Myer, across the river, left Fort Russell
at daybreak and rode to Fort Laramie
by or $3.50 of the same day, the dis
tanee being ninety-three miles. This
was about equal 10 Won Miklo's first
days performance speaking generally.
but when it is considered that Capt.
Henry's ride was over wild and rugged
country, practically without roads and
that he had with him two or three
troops of the Third cavalry, thus multi
plying the difficulties of the journey. it
seems fair to say that his achievement
was more practical and significant than
the foreign performance. Riding by
ones self alone on well kept European
turnpikes is a very different thing to
marching 200 troopers across the hills
and valleys of Wyoming.

CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-Chairman Caldwell,
of the Western Passenger association,
was called upon today to decide ques-
ton arising from squabble between
the Northern Pacific and the Union Pa

The Chicago Railroad association, by
majority vote OF the members, decided
that through rates to Puget sound points
via the Union Pacific should not be in
serted in the Chicago rate sheet.
The only roads that voted to put the
rates in were the Chicago & Northwest
ern and the Chicago q Alton, both of
which are connections of the Union
Pacific at the Missouri river. Under
the rules of that association majority
vote only is necessary to decide the

GARFIELD's SUCCESSOR.
The New Indiana Track to Be
Thrown Open Soon.

CBICAGO.Oct.6.-The legal difficulties
surrounding the Garfield Park race
track, which from present indications
preclude the possibility of any further
racing there this season. are acting as
an incentive to the promoters of the new
Indiana Racing association with track
just outside the city limits and beyond
the state line. With few exceptions
the board of officers of the new track
will be composed of those who acted in
a similar capacity at Garfield Park. The
track is already graded, and a tempo
rary grand stand is being constructed.
1t is the intention to throw open the
gates for the inaugural day Oct. 20.
The management will give only one
months racing this season. The tenn
porary grand stand will be demolished,
and an iron stand will be erected to cost
$4,000. with a seating capacity of at
least 5000.
