BoERs FoR TEXAS.

According to the Topeka Daily Her

colonlzIng 100000 acres Of Texas land
with Boer immigrants. There Is a suf-

Rumors Of a similar purporthave been
denied, but possibly they have some SOL
ID foundation. A number OF Beers, I'M
doubtedly, will remain In the land OF
their birth, but others win prefer a
new country where they can enjoy the
fullest measure OF liberty. Texas is TO

South Africa and IN no part Of the
United States would a colony of these
Southern Dutch be more likely to pros
per than In Texas. And there is room
enough In that state for all the disaf-
fected Beers, and then some to spare
for the Finlanders who are seeking a
refuge from the hand Of oppression, al
though the latter, as a rule. prefer more
northern latltudes.
This country was opened as an asy-
lum for the oppressed Of the earth, and
the divine blessings have rested upon
It, because It was dedicated for that
purpose by the founders Of the Repub-
lie. Its mission Is not yet ended and
will not be. as long as might Is the only
fest OF right among nations.

INDIAN RELICS.

The San Francisco Chronicle contains
an account OF the excavation OF a
mound containing a number Of old In
dian relics The mound was situated on
the bay shore, half mile above Point
Richmond. 1t was but little known
owing TO It's hidden location.
The explorers found part OF several
Indian skeletons, many crude orna"
ments Of abalone and clam shell, dish
fun OF small wampum beads, bone avis
bone needles, stone mortars for grinding
corn, stone pestes. a saw made OF bone
bone tubes. horn chisel, several flint
knives, two small paint mortars, y
charm stones, several flint arrowpoints,
a small quantity Of red powdered paint
held in clam-shell receptacles, and 9TH
er relics
II also yielded TO the relic hunters
several stone smoking pipes, which Cur
ator Wilcomb pronounced exceedingly
rare for that district; a labret or LIP
stone, shaped like a large collar-puttoh
and worn inserted In button-hole Silt
cut through the lower lip, and a guam
tlty OF black docking, oarbonized string
Of some native fiber. The lip stone Is
also said to be very rare for this part
Of the country.
Or. Hudson, who Is travelling for the
Field Memorial museum Of Chicago has
inspected the find. He does not venture
an opinion as to the age OF the mound
and its contents, but he does not think
that 1t Is older than 300 years.

DESCRIPTION OF THE GOOD
OLD TIMES IN STARE
COUNTY.
JESSE O. WHEELER,
Editor and proprietor

A late copy of The Country
Gentleman, of Albany, n. Y, which
has been handed THE HERALD con-
tains a lengthy and interesting
communication from William II.
Hale of Starr county, Texas,-who
is known to Herald readers, under
the nom de plume of Ell Soltero-
IN which he describes the Great
nrouth that desolated that county
and extended over a large area OF
this entire section of the state
between the years 1889 and 1894,
and contrasting the time of plenty
which formerly existed with the
later scarcity. OF the good old
times" Mr.. Hale writes as follows:
an that happy far-off time
horses. cattle and deer roamed in
countless thousands, as fat as good
grass and abundant water could
make them. Corn and fodder were
superintendent. At any ranch, big
or little, if you stopped for a bait,
a big manojo of fodder, with the
ears on, was given your horse for
Dotbinr or for a cent or two. Mean
while the best viands of the house
were put before you, or if none were
ready, Immediately a new supply
with the inevitable coffee and goats
milk, was prepared. Never would
the people take pay for this
hospitality to "Cristiano,' and
did any dream of Offering such pay.
A mucbGs gracias (many thanks
was sufficient. Idyllic times!
in those times every jacal (hut)
had its stack of corn fodder, its
crib of corn, its strings Of ierked
meat, red peppers and dried
pumpkins. The range was unfenced
and pasturage free, and only the
Indians saw to it that neither live
stock nor people were too numerous.
These were the flush times of this
frontier-trade, smuggling, CON-
naerce. oattle-stealing, Indian raids,
and general deviltry were in their
hsy-day. But by the end of the
seventies, a gradual change came
over everything. The land began to
be fenced; cattle thieving Gas a
wholesale business) was practically
stamped out; the Indians moved
on; smuggling no longer paid; trade

THE REWARD OF

JOURNALISM.
The Brownsville daily herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1897-1910, 1903-03-19

THE Houston Post Of last Sunday
publishes a sensational tale from
Beaumont correspondent, to the
effect that. President Diaz of Mex
leo is suffering from an uncurable
disease, and cannot live more than
a few years longer, concluding with
a prophecy of political chaos and
civil war to follow in the republic,
upon the death of Diaz. The story
concerning the state of Diaz' health
NAV have some foundation, or 1t
may not, but the prophesy OF civil
war and other evils to result after
his death may be regarded as
wholly improbable, being the fruit
of the overweight imagination OF
some nervous individual, or else
merely a bugaboo story told TO pass
the time. Mexico has too long
enioyed the blessing of peace under
a stable government to allow any
revolutionary leader, he he clerical
or liberal, to bring on the ruin and
misery of civil war again.
