ever, we think would be too high an
estimate for the ordinary acres and or

estimate any kind of herbivorous or
gr%ass-eating stock is by the pound
rather than by the head. There will
not be n very great difference between
the amoun of grass consumed by a
thousand pounds of beef, horse, or
sheep. With hogs it is different be-
cause they are not usually dependent
on grass for their feed, and hence a
greatly increased number of pounds
can be kept per acre when hogs are fed
a grain ration. We are, of course,
speaking of stock animals and not of
cattle that are kept on full feed, corn.

grass they will eat.-EXchange.

the knowledge that so many forms Of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to q constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant

~ removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed SO highly BY all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. Its therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, thatyou have the genuine article,
which Is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment Of good health.

Bowman fell this morning at 9
o'clock and the great quadriennial
conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal church was under way.
Three thousand people were in the

England. This historical treasure
was presented to the conference
some years ago.

Signal Sergeant Poole arrived
here from Fort Brown yesterday
morning. He leaves for his new
station at Fort Reno this evening,
accompanied by his family.
The meat furnished the troops at

Urinary Surgeon Lemsy of the
Seventh cavalry was appointed
meat inspector to hold him down.
1t is rumored around the garrison
that one OF the officers OF the cav
airy squadron was recently almost
engulfed in quicksand and had to
be drawn out by means Of lariat.
The chaplains of the army want
to be organized into a corps and
have the rank OF major. An east
ern paper, commenting on this,
says: "For a noice, clane, aisy and
fat job give me that Of army chap
lain" Wasn't 1t Henry Clay who
said, "I'd rather be an army chap
lain than be president ?"

a "PER CAPITA" coNUNcRuM.
The Essence of Cheap Money and Fiatist
Wisdom.

Wisdom.
Every true worshiper of the silver
"fetich" believes as the first article of
the free-coinage gospel thatif the guam
THY of money is doubled prices will be
twice as high. This is the essence of
the per capita argument, and is consid-
cred by both silverites and tiatists to be
the sum of financial wisdom. Second
only to their faith in the sacred words
per capita" is the belief of the cheap
money advocates that the undeniable
prosperity of France is due to the fact
that that country has about $40 OF
money for each inhabitant. Attempts
to show that in reality the French peo-
pie are prosperous because of their high
level of intelligence, their skill in the
industrial arts, their system of land
holding and methods of cultivation and
the great and varied natural resources
of the country have had no weight
with the one-idead silver agitators.
Since France has nearly twice as
much money per capita as the United
States, according to the believers in the
theory that the quantity Of money
fixes prices, goods should be twice as
dear in France as in America. Now, it
is notorious that such is not the case.
On the contrary, the products of French
mills, factories, etc, are sold so cheaply
that it is necessary to impose heavy
duties on them to prevent their compe-
tition with high-priced American goods.
Will some per capita financier explain
why the large volume of money in
France does not raise prices in that
country?

CARVED HIS OWN COFFIN.
An English Craftsman Puts His Art to o
Strange Use.


Strange Use.
A coffin yarn from England is this,
from Nottingham paper: THE hobby
of an old gentleman, who has Just de-
parted this life in Duddlestone, was
wood carving. Being of independent
means he was able to devote his time
to the craft and become very artistic
craftsman. After filling his house with
hand-carved furniture he turned his at
tention to the carving of an oaken
coffin, to contain his remains. Over
the richly-carved panels he spent much
loving care. In this coffin de luxe he
was buried recently, and in accordance
with minute instructions in his last will
and testament, was followed to the
grave by one mourner only-a young
man to whom he had left the bulk of
his property, ignoring all of his rela-
tives. The coffin was conveyed to the
churchyard in the old gentleman's pri-
vate vehicle. drawn by his favorite
pony"

sAENGERFEsT CLOSED.
Last Nights Festivities and Grand Kom-
merS,


mers.
The festivities Of the great TWEEN
,ty-first Texas Sangerfest came to
a close last night in a great burst of
melody simultaneously from the
grand orchestra at the ball at
Beethoven hall, and the orchestra
and four hundred singers at the
Mission garden kommers.
The ball at Beethoven hall was
very brilliant and quite successful
though was not attended by the
social crush that had been ex-
pected. The committee in charge,
f. Rennert, chairman; w. C. Rigs
by, A. Storms, w. Rummel, w. P.
Lobban, and Lieutenant G. w.
Martin, had left no detail for the
pleasure Of the participants undone
and a magnificent card OF dances
was the result. The Saengerfest
orchestra furnished splendid
music.
1t was at the kemmers, how
ever, where seats at the festal
board were at premium. Seven
long tables the full length of the
grand pavilion, were provided and
were loaded with splendid cold
lunch that did great credit to the
skill of Mr.. Rheiner, of the garden,
as a caterer.
Each singing society was
grouped in it's particular station
at table, indicated by large pla-
cards with the society's name,
and so arranged that all would be
directly under the observation of
the President, Mr.. F. G. Bass, who
with several aides, occupied the
stage with his big tuning fork, his
pipe and tobacco and his small
keg OF beer, used as drinking
mug.
Around the tables tobacco, pipes
and cigars were plentifully pro-
vided, being laid at every plate,
and the festal scene was COM
pleted with the brilliance Of cleo
trio lights showing on the beauti-
full decorations of the hall.
The fun became fast, almost
from the start, and consisted Of
choral songs by the various socie-
ties when called upon by the presi-
dent, speeches by prominent sing
ers, comic songs and Rotations.
1t was 1880 o'clock when the
grand Salamander was drank and
the festivities were over.
The guests all had words of
praise for the committee who had
so generously entertained them,
and for Mr.. Rheiner and his large
corps OF assistants for their care in
serving them and bounty Of the
refreshments.
The delegates began leaving the
city on all trains today, for their
homes, and with the departure to-
night of the Cincinnati orchestra,
the city will again find itself de-
serted by its unusual influx OF
visitors. This afternoon this splen-
did orchestra Is being rendered a
reception at Muth's garden.
