The War and Business.

The effect of war upon the bust
ness of the country has hardly
been felt; business is no more de
pressed in Texas than is usual at
this season of the year. Food
stufs have been steadily advanc-
ing, and, with the possible excep-
ton of -four, will continue to
advance, Texas farmers should
bear this in mind, and govern
themselves accordingly, The Tex
farmer who will have corn and
b ICON to sell this fall will realize a
good price for them. Beef cattle
will also be in demand, and the
pastures of Texas will be largely
drawn on to supply it. Even after
the war ceases, Texaa cattle will be
wanted to re-stock the depleted
herds of the Island Of Cuba.

Earth can claim their sight no more,
Fold his hands upon his bosom,
For his work and toll are DER,

Thou hast toiled from carly dawn
To the very set of sun,

Heavy was the cross to bear,
Lay it down, there's resting here.

A Good Man Gone to Rest.

DGED-At Yoakum, May 10Th.
1898. Mr.. Nathan Burkett, in the
18th year of his age,
How suddenly these summons
come to many. This was true of
our dear old friend. These sad
tidinga came with crushing force
and we cannot yet realize that he
is one from among us. 1t be-
comes melancholy pleasure to
offer this slight tribute to the
memory of this noble and worthy
gentleman.
He had gone on visit from his
home in Moulton to his two sons
at the former place to spend a few
days, unaccompanied by his wife.
Well and lively, as usual, he
retired at night, About l O'Clock
he was taken with congestive
chill. He aroused the household
and everything possible was done
by loving hands and physicians
summoned, but he never rallied,
and at 8 a. m. his noble spirit.
without word, left the tenement
ment of clay and put on the robe
of immortality. The weight of
seveuty-eight winters and ceaseless
wear and tear on the tented field,
ON the track of the bloody savage,
for he came here when this country
was a wilderness, had comp letely
exhausted all the powers If nature.
The silver cord was loosed, the
golden bowl broken.
This genuine old Texans cheek
never paled in the thickest of the
battle, and he was ever ready to do
or die for his country. He lived
amid the bloody and exciting
scenes of pioneer life without u
stain, and died without a groan.
Oh! what model for his sons,
his relations and the youths of
Texas. With a nation Of such
citizens as this our country would
eclipse all others and shine on with
ever increasing 81 lendor until the
stars grow dim.
For more than fifty years con-
sistent member of the Missionary
Baptist church, he will be sadly
missed from among them. The
climax of his noble life was his
Christian love. Amid all his
duties and responsibilities, none
we're neglected. His duty to his
neighbors, to the sick and afflicted,
always met with a ready response.
Charity was the browning chapiet
of his Christian life. But his noble
life is ended, his work on earth is
done. The precious memories OF
such a life still remain to the loved
ones left behind. and his virtues
the inspiration that leads them on
the shining path to the Heavenly
Rest"
He leaves an aged companion
9 ten children. all heads Of families
and many grandchildren scattered
all over the state, who, with many
friends, deplore his death. Hi'
, remains were shipped from Yoa
KUN and were inferred in the
family cemetery near his residence

Live Stock.
Important to Cattle Men.

BY coincidence two other decisions
relating to the antitrust law were
handed down by Justice Peckham with
the joint traffic association decision in
the case of the United States against
Henry Hopkins and others the govern
Live Stock Exchange from carrying
on its business on the
association in the restraint Of trade
and is therefore illegal. The associa-
ton is carried on at the Kansas City
stock yards, partly in Kansas and
partly in Missouri. Its membes receive
shipments of cattle from Nebraska,
Colorado, Texas, Missouri, Iowa and
Kansas and the territories, selling
them to the big packing houses, par
New York.
The lower court ruled against the ex-
change on the ground that it was a
combination in restraint of trade.
Justice Packham's opinion, in which
all the court except Justice Harlan
concurred, reverses the lower court and
uphold, the legality of the associs-
ton. The opinion states that
the Kansas City Exchange is merely q
local aid to interstate shipments and
that it cannot be considered an inter-
state association. Because the cattle
themselves come from various States
is does not follow the opinion states,
that all persons performing any service
connected with then are engaged in in
terstate commerce.
A similar ruling was made in the
case of the United States against j. G..
Anderson and others involving the
Kansas City association, known as the
Traders Live iStock association. In
this case also the court upholds the
purely local and not engaged in inter-
state traffic within the meaning of the
antitrust law.

CAMPBELL street from San Antonio
street TO the mesa is in a frightful con-
dition and has been in no better condi-
tion for months 1t is seldom sprinkled
beyond the track. The whole street
Is cut up into ruts, and is at all times
covered with bits of rough broken
stone, gravel, and tailings that fall
from passing wagons. The street is
used as the main thoroughfare for
wagons hauling rock, and they pass
and repsss all day long. There is an
ordinance on the books that provides a
severe penalty for the violation of the
law that care must be used to prevent
rock, brick, sand, or rubbish of any
kind from falling out of the ends Of
wagons and littering up the street.
Many citizens now, through the HER
AID, call upon the city authorities to
enforce that ordinance in reference to
N. Campbell street.

Every person who came in contact

reason for the great fear that is pre-

Trip In A Gasoline Launch.

The Morning Port Townsend Leader of the 23rd of February gave quite an extended notice of the presence of Dr. II. H. Titus and bis son Arthur of Palo Alto, Cal. in the Key City. They came up to Seattle and from there pro ceeded to Port Townsend in gasoline launch. They were making their way by easy stages to Alaska, the junior gentleman taxing photographic views along the way of places and objects of interest, to be used by Frank Leslie's publications, McClure's Magazine, and The Traveller, San Francisco publica- ton, in illustrating descriptive articles, the data for which are prepared by Mir. Pillsbury. These gentlemen arrived in this city Saturday evening, after quite an eventful experience on the trip up the coast They encountered a storm off Cape Fox, DiXon'' Inlet, and were ship~recked. \ heavy sea washed their frail craft high and dry on the beach. but they escaped from the wreck without difficulty. The launch was total loss. but the gentlemen, for tunate in escaping without personal in
 jury. were too thankful to complain. At Mary Island another launch, in an advanced state of general dilapidation, was procured, and MT. Arthur Pills bury. who is practical engineer and machinist. was engaged for nearly two months in repairing and remodeling it. His skillful workmanship transformed the boat into a seawoIthy condition, and the journey north was continued. Dr. Pillsbury is most favorably i'm pressed with the location of Fort Wrangel. its natural advantages and climatic conditions, and if satisfactory arrangements can be made, may locate here permanently. MT. Arthur Pills bury will make Wrangel the base of his operations, and from here will short ly make trip to Skaguay for the pur- pose of taking views of the various points of interest in that locality, and may conclude to extend his operations as far as the lakes before returning. Later in the season he will make trip up the Stikeen river, where his camera will again be brought into play. It is the intention of MT. Pillsbury to go in- to the interior next season, proceeding as far as Dawson City.
