ENTERPRISE IN TEXAS.
Wichita Falls Wa.sses, 3 Railroad, and the

Wichita Falls Wa.sses, 3 Railroad, and the
Citizens Built It. s# sS
Seventeen years ago there was not a
house in Wichita Falls, Tex, and the
grass grew as high as the back Of the
pony on which the first settler rode,
This year, within a radius Of SO miles,
one-third Of which is unoul tivated,
$6,305, 500 worth of produce was raised,
and in that: radius Is population Of
100000 people. Henrietta is the only
competing town. The assessed value of
the property Of that circuit is ST. 600, :
900. The actual value will probably
double that amount, and yet only about
100000 acres, one-third Of the total
number, are in cultivation. The milling
capacity Of Wichita Falls is 800, 600
barrels. Until recently, when one of
the largest mills burned, it was 400, 900
barrels The elevator capacity is 1,O00,-
600 bushels. i *ss >..:#
Wichita Falls is located in. the Wich-
tia and Red river valleys, a magnificent
stretch of land which extends about so
miles north and south and probably 20
miles east and west It is located on the
main line Of the Fort Worth and Den.
YER City railway, now Of the famous
Union Pacific system, and is the east
ern terminus Of the Wichita Valley rail
way, which extends westward 81 miles
to Seymour, in Baylor county. It is ia
miles northwest Of Fort Worth and 146
miles from Dallas. Its population is
about 5000. st.
About 10 months ago the people
Of Wichita Falls decided that life
would not be worth living unless that
branch Of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas railroad which terminated at Hen
rietta was extended to their town. They
went before the officers of the road
with their proposition. They submitted
to these officers the amount of freight
and passenger business that Wichita
Falls would furnish. -:.,...,,
The officers Of the road told the Wichi-
Ia Falls people, however, that if they
could furnish any such business as they
claimed the proper thing for them to do
was to complete it themselves: and
that the ''Katy'' road would divide earn
fngs with the town.
The people of Wichita Falls acted
upon this proposition promptly Three
months ago the road was completed 221h5
miles at cost Of $1S0,000 This is an
indication of the enterprise Of the peo-
pie Of the county seat of Wichita coun-
ty, and that is why the people Of the
county can afford to do such things. -:

There Are Still Heroes.

Who says there is no pluck or manly
courage or unselfishness left among the
young men Of this generation? Certain
y no one who reads the story Of Ed
ward James Glave in The Century. His
life was q very short one, covering less
than 30 years, yet he managed to crowd
into it brave, unselfsh. work, thrilling
exploit and dazzling achievement
enough to make his name live among
men, &.
From his boyhood this English youth
had followed with breathless interest
every step Of Stanley g way through AZ
RIGA. He had read the story SO closely
that he knew every page Of it, and his
heart bounded within him to join Stan
ley in Africa. When he left school, he
served q brief time in q counting room.
But he was q born explorer, and his
heart was far away in the jungle. He
besieged the International African asso-
citation with letters. gave them no rest
till at last he received commission to
60 to Africa. He burned with desire to
do the hardest work, and Stanley gave
him just what he wanted and chose.
His family and friends could ask no
better epitaph to his memory than the
words Of his commander:
His conscientiousness, his infiexible deter
mination to do the most that can be done in a
given period, the love with which he set about
it and the absorbing interest 1t has for him
make me, who know his worth, feel sorry that
he cannot find the peculiar hard task for which
he Is 80 fitted and wherein he could be so hap
py. Many people have called me hard, but
they are always those whose presence a field
Of work could best dispense with and whose
nobility is too nice to BIO stained with toll,
Glave is not one Of these, but man who rel
ishes task for its bigness and takes to it with
. fierce Joy.
It gives the story melancholy inter-
est to know that afterward the young
hero found the big, hard task he craved
and died just when he had accom-
plished it. F.,

Tho Ideal City.


DR.. Edward Everett Hale, in 8 recent
lecture, said that as things go IN our
present life he regarded what is called
the small city as the ideal city Of Amer
lea His range was as wide as from
80, 600 people to 100, 600 for the roll Of
population Of such city. He thought a
mans chances for getting the most ont
OF life were better in such city than
in London, in Paris, in Boston or in
Chicago. DR.. Hale said that the ideal
city should have easy land tenure, that
every man may own his own house and
garden. i.
DR.. Hale closed by saying that in the
management and success Of the ideal
city permanencJ in residence, the nat
ural pridein the good name Of thecity
and the solidarity and mutual regard of
the inhabitants are very large factors. d

ALCOHOL FROM GRAIN.
lt II Even Worse In Its Effects on Mar
| Than That Made From Fruit.

A6 A Even w OrSo An iCS EneCC8 on MAI
Than That Made From Fruit.
Something very Ikea temperance al.
DRESS was made in the French chamber
Of deputies the other day by M. Lam
nelongne,3 in discussing proposed re-
forms in the tax on strong drinks, says
the New York Sun. He asserts that
there are Two phases in the history Of
alcoholism in France, one anterior to
1855, the other since that date. Before
1856 the annual consumption Of fruit
brandies. VasS12 times as great as the
CONSUMPTION Of brandies made from
materials other than fruits. Alcohol
ISM previous to 1866, was very rare in
France. There were occasional deaths
in q few. hours from this cause and
there were cases Of delirium tremens,
but ordinarily, however, the alcoholism
Of that period was not so severe on it's
victims as that which has succeeded it.
Then came the period after 1865,
when Wine alcohol failed and alcohol
from grains began to be used extensive.
~. The, quantity drunk per he.g. IL;
France more than treb]ed in q e.
years, and at the same time crimes az Z
suicides greatly increased in humble.
With the use Of the industrial alcohols
came 9 sort Of permanent drunkenness,
an nmperious need. to which the indi-
vidual was not always able to offer sue
oessful resistance.
In the presence Of disease men offer
resistance, but the characteristic of the
new alcoholism is that it renders men
incapable Of resistance to infection. The
man Of 40 is comparable to the man of
go in this regard, and even an old man
without organic disease offers more re-.
sistance in the face of a malady because
his tissues ale not altered as are those
Of the man that has fallen victim to the
new alcoholism.
1t is not the rich classes who are in
this pitiable state, NJ. Lannelongue
said, but the poor, who, i'll nourished
and lodged in sunless rooms, add alco-
holism. to their miseries These are the
persons that pay the tax on alcoholic
drinks. It has been estimated that
French workingmen expend annually
1900, 600, 900. francs upon alcoholic
drinks, and that English workingmen
expend even more, M. Lannelongue
quoted a French statistician as putting
down alcoholism as the chief factor IN
pauperism..

Sale of Farm Lands.

The ST. Paul Pioneer Press chronicles
the fact that the sales Of farm lands in
the northwest are larger than they have
been in some years.. ;. A decided move
ment from the cities back to the farns
is also noted in the northwest. We arc
informed; too, that many college grad,
yates Of this year intend to make: scien-
tito farming their business instead OF
studying law.
We are glad to know Of all this, glad
to be informed, too, of the increasing
use Of electricity in scientific farming,
SO that the agriculturist will be able to
raise under glass all the fruits and vege-
tables Of the tropics and take his ease at
the same time. The use of machinery,
chemistry and electricity, we are told,
will make of the farmers life one grand.
sweet song.
'Tis we'll. Under rightly organized
yystem it would probably take not quite
half tho population of 3 q ceuntry to
raise food for the manufacturing and
commercial part Of t:1e population, also
for that increasing number Of citizens,
male and feraale, who toll not, neither
spin. 1t is we'll for all mankind to have
an abundance Of everything good to eat
and drink. But when, as is the case this
autumn, the farmer has already raised
SO much that the price he gets will not
pay for the work it has cost him, the
freight rates, commission and other OK
penses being counted, what is there en-
couraging in the fact that more farms
are being bought and more people are
turning from the city life to agricul-
tural life?

Dry-Goods Market.

NEW YORK. February 5-The attention
of the dry-goods market to-day has been
given more TO the news from Washington
concerning the bond bids than To actual
business in either cotton or woollen goods.
SO much was estimated as depending
upon the result Of tO-day's developments
that the overshadowing interest In IL can
be easily understood.
BY early afternoon il was known be-
yond doubt that the bonds had been
largely oversubscribed for. and that the
average price was likely 10 prove higher
than was generally expected The effect
OF this upon the general sentiment was
noticeable IL was. at any rate. strong
contribution towards restoration OF conf
dence, and should it be followed, as IS
deemed highly probable, by relief Of the
stringency in the money market. the
great obstacle 10 resumption In business
activity will be removed.
So little has been done up 10 the pres
ent time in providing for spring require
ments of the more staple lines Of cotton
goods. and for fall needs OF heavy woollen
and worsted fabrics. that there must be a
belated demand OF large proportions TO
come forward Just as soon as buyers
have assurance that they can secure on
a normal basis. what will enable them to
take care of their obligations

vote was taken on the motion to adopt

The telegram from MIR. Yates, which

yesterday. was the first expression that
has been had from that gentleman since

solute denial OF the charges has evidently
had considerable effect. The telegram

yesterday. and was thought by many TO
be frank, manly statement.
Mr.. Yates had been telegraphed by Mr..
Doyle to come TO Richmond and defend
himself and he replied that the board OF
the Arkansas institution was In session.
and ii was therefore an unreasonable
time for him 10 leave, but n 1t was
thought necessary he would come. Cap

to come. as II might not be necessary.

oped he will not come

Sergeant-at-Arms Watkins will probably
go to Norfolk this afternoon for some
witnesses. and will have them back here
to testify before the committee to-mor-
row, and as there are number OF wit
nesses for the prosecution, as well as for

so far as can be learned is for the COM
mittee to go TO Staunton tomorrow night

sation on the House tonight. The
session was listening TO short silver
speeches on. the Jones substitute. when
Air. Pearson sent TO the desk and
had read a circular Senator Butler had
sent to North Carolina. In which he had
called upon all parties To come together
in new silver party. But" exclaimed
the North Carolinian. II speak not only
Republicans in North Carolina. when I
say that We will be parties to no such
secession. We tried the secession move
ment years ago. and II failed"
Mr.. Pearson here made severe stric-
lures upon South Carolina, saying that
that State had dragged North Carolina
unwilhngly into the civil war. and that
South Carolina was always to the front
II h had to break loose anywhere.
Here, Mr.. Talbert. of South Carolina.
sprang to his feet. saying that he was
not ashamed OF secession.
II am ashamed of any man." retorted
Pearson, who stands at this late day
for secession, with the principles be-
hind It,"
Pearson made here some comparison
between the fortunes OF war In South
and North Carolina TO the advantage OF
the latter, when Talbert shouted that
South Carolina had never been whipped.
and never would be.
Pearson got liberal applause from the
Republicans and laughter from the gal
leries.
He paid his respects to Tillman. say
ing that the Republicans intended to
enact safe silver legislation. but would
not seek II through anarchy or with pitch
forks. The Republicans would not fight
