MEXICAN GOLD FEVER.
Report of Rich Deposit Found at
Ejutla By an Indian.

Oaxaca, City, Mex, August 81
There is intense excitement here
over the finding of a wonderfully
rich gold deposit at Eiutla, which
was accidentally discovered by an
Indian. Mayor Salazar of Ejutla,
in company with a soldier, took up
the first two claims and they have
been offered large sum for them,
but will not sell, as gold abounds
and shows 40 per cent Of the yellow
metal. All mining men here, as
well as many business men and
lawyers, have gone in a wild rush
to Ejutla and are denouncing mines.
It is probably the richest and most
extensive gold district yet discover
ed in this country.

Texas Cotton Crop.

Austin. Tex, Aug. 27.-Hon. JEFF
fer,on Johnston, former State Com
missioner Of Agriculture, and a
member of the State boil weevil
committee, has returned from Bren-
ham. where the committee conduct
ed experiments and witnessed de-
monstrations of the remedies and
deyices for exterminating the boil
weevil. It is probable that no fur
Their demonstrations before the COM
mittee will be held this season,
owing to the fact that the cotton
plant and crop are too far advan-
ced.
Mr.. Johnston expressed himself
of the opinion that a successful
and practical device or remedy for
eradicating the weevil may yet be
discovered. He says that many
OF the mechanical devices and re-
NEEDLES submitted to the committee
have real merit. They are as yet
in the crude, but further improve
ments and developments may lead
to some of them being successful.
Mr.. Johnston says that the COM
mittee was well received and given
every opportunity for carrying on
its work By the citizens Of the res
pectiye communities visited.
In speaking of the prospects of
the Texas cotton crop, Mr., Johnston
stated that none of the published
reports Of the damage wrought by
the boil weeyil during the past three
weeks give much idea Of the real
seriousness Of the situation. The
damage is much greater than the
worst reports indicate, he says. Mr..
Johnston estimates that the Texas
cotton crop will not exceed 5000
600 bales, and it may fall several
hundred thousand bales short OF
thatnumber.

Boil Weevil Remedy.
FloreAille Chronicle:


In giving an explanation of my
remedy or method to exterminate
the boil weevil, I beg the readers of
the Chronicle to give it the most
careful consideration. 1T has become
question Of great importance to
the South, as to where it will end.
l somehow realized the destructi
veness of this bug, in my first ex-
perience with it, and the difficulty
in finding a way to head him off.
[ have no opinions to express, no
suggestions to make, only simple
facts obtained by observation and
tests, made each year since 1895.
In the first place, the cotton boil
weevil subsists and propagates only
on the cotton plant. In the second
place, it taxes its power of hiberna-
ton to its utmost to survive until
the appearing of the cotton plant
| in the spring, as it is out of its
latitude here in Texas, and it is
only the weevil that is in prime
condition to hibernate that makes
it through successfully. This weeyil,
at the beginning of cold Weather,
eats the kernel of the matured cot
ton seed, and thereby is enabled by
the rich fairness of the kernel to
pull through until the appearance
OF cotton. 1t searches diligently for
the means of subsistence and the
opportunity to propagate. It's first
opportunity might be either stub
bic, volunteer, or planted seed; if
the plant is young, not yet fat on
squares, the weevil attack the bud.
making 4 last effort to suryice
until the plant gives it the op-
portunity to perpetuate It's specie
which is done by depositing its
eggs in the forms or squares.
1t has then accomplished what
Its nature required of it and it then
dies Should this have been on a
stalk of stubble cotton. the young
weevil when developed will rise up
in the air and the wind may carry
them for miles, this is why farms
where every precaution is used, are
the first to detect the presence of
weevil. BY watching this closely
every season find that it does not
vary in the least, catching the first
weeviI that appear in the spring I
find they live but a few days, while
one of the young brood Matched
lout, will live about two months.
We learn wisdom from failure
more than we do from success; We
often discover what will DO by find
Ing out what viii not do. It was in
this way that I found the means 10

the remedies claimed now, lii 1895.

BOUND OVER
THE GRAND JURY WILL
TAKE ACTION
Pleads Guilty to the Charge
of Burglary

Yesterday morning before Judge
Stone, the case Of the State vs. j.
Connolly was called. Connolly is
charged with burglary and when
asked what plea he would make ans
wered guilty to the charge. He made
a clean breast Of the affair and stated
that he entered Todd's saloon while
drunk and attempted to rife the till.
He also admitted Of taking the whis-
key that was found in his room. He
further stated that If given a chance
he would leave this city and State
and never bother the peace again.
This was an impossibility, as the
charges were preferred and he will
have to stand trial. He was bound
over to await the action Of the grand
jury and bail fixed in the sum of
$1,000. Connolly being unable to fur
nish the bonds, is held at the County
Jail, awaiting the action Of the grand
jury
Since Connolly has had a chance tc
sober up, he realizes the magnitude
Of his crime and feels EXCEEDINGLY sor
ry for the actions. His predicament
is a bad one and under the circum
stances It is an exceedingly bad piece
Of business. From the present out

UNUSUAL WEATHER.
Lack Of Moisture for the Month Of

January.
The present month of January has
proven very unusual up to the present
time. The weather, as rule for this
season of the year, gives more mois-
ture than any month in the calendar
The weather observers chart, furnish
ed by c. w. Friend, quotes 2.O5 inches
Of moisture for the month of January
for the past twenty years. Up to
the present time there has not been
a drop of moisture fall in this sec
ton of the State. This, together with
the cold weather that has followed, is
unusual and the old time weather fore
| casters are at Quandry to know
just how it is coming out January,
| according to record. always furnishes
more moisture than any other month
| in the year.
Another queer thing is the lack of
wind. Up to the present time the
highest velocity thus far has been
| eight miles an hour, and that only
for short time.
| On the streets the dust is thicker
than at any time in the summer. 1t
has been ground so fine that the
teams travelling over it. leave a trail
Of dust nearer like smoke than any
thing else. The sprinkling wagon
would be good thing to introduce, as
the extremely fine dust works its
