For Texas.

Are you tired of the long winters of
North Dakota, where the procuring of
fuel to keep yourself and family warm
occupies so much Of your spare time?
Are you getting disguised trying to
pay debts with wheat 9t so cents per
bushel, when ysu. know that the cost
Of producing thass i amounts TO
nearly that sum? DO you want a
change? II so, come to Texas. where
you can make a comfortable living and
in a few years an independence, from
forty acres.
You can get land within thirty
miles of Galveston, shipping facilities
almost right at your door, good society
and everything one could expect, at
from $12 to SIS per acre. Come to the
country where you can work and have
something to sell the year round.
Crops planted in the fall are ready for
market when the snow is on the
ground in North Dakota. What is
planted in the spring will bring in a
return throughout the summer and
fall, for you have more time to take
care of it than you have here in the
North.
Fruit trees are planted in the
ground where those crops are grown,
and will in some cases bear fruit in
two years. When the trees begin to
bear, if you are lucky enough to have
planted plenty of them, then you will
be independent. Fuel and building
material are both cheap, nor is there
so much of it required there as here.
Anything you require to buy is cheap
er, and anything you have to sell, be-
ing the earliest in the market, brings
the highest price.
ANY informati you would like to
have will be given you by addressing

unattached wheelmen, the affair assumed
before it was half over harmonious de-
mand for good roads and an appeal to the
public to stand by them in their struggle.
incidentally the attitude of the South
ern Pacific toward wheelmen was briefly
referred to by the several speakers, with
the result that a roar went up from the
assembled thousands urging all to protest
at the ballot-box and elsewhere against
such iniquitous acts as had been proposed
by the railroad several days ago.
Over 1000 devotees of the wheel at
tended the Pavilion last night. Nearly

occupants of the place refused him admis-

throat as she lay on the bed.
The man proved to Louis Pionella, a
baker working at la Union street, and he
was placed in the tanks at the prison

Detective Ben Bohen and his assistants
on the case were unable yesterday to con-
meet Pionella with the past crimes of the
stranger, and the only charge booked
against him is that of battery.
The woman Angelina Auber has known
the prisoner for three years.
She had dismissed him after misunder-
standing on the silver question, and from
the evidence gathered by the police the
fellow had similart rouble with Miss Ward.
In the latter case, however, the man be-
came violent, and emphasized his argu-
ment with bottle, causing the woman to
make loud outcries for help.
