"Superfuous Women"

"Superfuous women" are increasing

the deaths 514, 4,45O-266,3SS males ami

were more boys than girls born, the
higher mortality among men more
than restored the balance, the ranks

TRIP TO TEXAS.
Observations Alons The Road and Some
Impressions OF the Lone Star
Stale.

most pleasant trips we have ever
made.
We left Sidney October 31st
for the famous Panhandle coun-
try of Texas. The first night out
was spent with Rev, Geo. Rogers
near King Mills, and We wish to
say right here that he and his
family know how to make one
feel at home. Boarding the train
at Hardy at 2:40 the 1st day Of
November, we arrived at Fort
Worth the next day at $50 p. NJ,
The country from Fort Worth to
Sapulpa, l. t., had been visited
by a fine rain, and every farmer
seemed busy putting in wheat.
There we're vast fields of wheat
up and looking fine. The dark
green against the black ground
Of the soil makes a sight beauti-
full to behold.
After a wait of three hours at
Fort Worth, we boarded a train
for Childress, the gateway to the
Panhandle country. This town
is the end of the first division on
the Fort Worth and Denver City
Railroad, 225 miles northwest Of
Fort Worth. This place was
reached Thursday morning at 5
o'clock, and as the run was made
after night, we did not see this
part of the country, but under
stood that it had had good rain
as far up as Bowie, consequently
wheat was sown and being sown
in large quantities. The country
farther west was like we left Ar
kansas, dry! dry! There IS but
very little wheat sown in the
Panhandle, and the ground is 80
dry it will be:lmpossible to SOW.
The first persons we met after
leaving the train were Claude
Kirtley and Dick Wiles. The day
was spent here with our brothers.
family. A short time after get
ting in, G. F. Springer dropped
in and had a good many questions
to ask US about old Sharp coun-
ty. George thinks Texas is the
country, butss advises nobody to
come there unless they can make
up their mindl to meet some
things they will not like.
At 4 p. m. in company with
Claude and Geo. Kirtley Jr., and
Lem Arm, three Sidney boys
who are out in Texas picking
cotton, we.boarded a cotton wag-
on for Garden Valley. This val
Icy is one of the best parts Of
Childress county, and lies on Red
river, 16 miles northeast OF the
town of Childress. Here, a few
years ago, they thought they
could not raise anything but
calves and wheat, but now they
raise a great deal of cotton. We
found every farmer in this valley
making from ten to thirty bales
Of the fleecy staple. After spend
ing the night with B. F. Blair
and family, we went with the
Sidney boys to the home of w.
F. Johnson, another Sharp coun-
ty boy. Here we found the Rec
ord, which shows that Will is
keeping up with matters at the
old stand. Will lives just across
Red river in Oklahoma. He has
q fine view of this river from his
front porch. You can see the
vast sand bed of the river for
several miles. 1t is mile wide
and in some places perfectly dry,
the water sinking in the sand. At
times it becomes raging torrent,
sweeping out railroad bridges
and doing great deal of damage.
At p. m. we said goodbye to
Mr.. johnson and his family and

is the line between Texas and
Greer county, Oklahoma. After
crossing the line, everything
looks quite differently, although
the land is just as good and the
roads just ds good as in Oklaho-
ma. Tho land in this part of
Texas is held in large bodies,
many men owing several Sec
tons. When these landholders
sell off their holdings to thrifty,
energetic farmers in lots Of 160
acres, then this part of Texas
will come to the front.
We reached Wellington at 8 p
n., after a drive of 30 miles, anG
spent the night with Wesley
Gardner, another Sidney boy,
who makes his home in this
town. Wellington is situated in
lovely valley, 20 miles from
Memphis, (Texas,) on the Ft.
W. & D. h. r., and Is miles
south Of Shamrock, on the Choc-
taw railroad. The people there
think they will soon have a rail-
road, and we surely can see no
reason why they should not
have. A line would be easily
built through that country, 1t is
no uncommon thing to see one
team carrying from eight to ten
bales of cotton to market over
the roads.
We saw more cotton at We'll
lington on wagons waiting to be
gipned than we ever saw before.
There were seventy.fi five or eighty
bales on the yard. No wagon
had less than a bale on it, and
some had two. Perhaps a des-
cription of one of these wagons
would interest some of your
readers. They construct a frame
some sixteen feet long and then
use 1x3 planks, leaving from two
to three inches between them. Ii
is like climbing long ladder to
get into one Of them.
We left Wellington Saturday
morning for Clarendon, 40 miles
to the northwest. Clarendon is
the county seat OF Donnely coun-
ty, and is noted for its schools
and fine groves of trees. You
meet person on the train who
wants to speak of this place and
has forgotten the name OF the
town, he will refer to it as "the
place where they have so many
nice trees" Here we came up
with some more Sharp comfy
people, P. j. Smith and N. E.
Arm, and spent the night with
them. They seem we'll pleased
with their part Of the country,
and were busy harvesting a line
crop. They told US Of some fine
yields of the different kinds of
crops in their part of the Pan
handle.
Kaffir corn was making from
40 to so bushels per acre, and
that with but little cultivation.
They told US that one of their
neighbors had a rick of potatoes,
over 100 yards long and four feet
high. This part Of the country
is very sandy, but its fertility is
beyond question, for The crops
show for themselves. This part
of the country seems to be a par
adise for melons. Smith and
Arm told US of q volunteer
watermelon vine upon which
grew three melons weighing 40,
81 and 65 pounds, besides num-
erous other smaller ones. Pie
melons lie about on the ground
so thick you can walk over the
field without touching the grouud.

Texas until you hear the other

The Showing Made When a Vote Wac
Taken In the House.

Taken in the House.
The present laws which place whole
some restrictions on the trusts were put
on the statutes by the. Republican party
and not by the Democratic party. Loud
ly as the Democrats have always talked
against the trusts, and seriously as they
have from time to time awakened appre-
hension in all business circles by their
threats that they would destroy all large
corporations whether good or bad. vet
never once have the Democrats accom-
plished or even aided in the ACCOMPLISH
ments of any salutary effort to control
the trusts along lines Of public safety.
The rulings of the Supreme Court hav-
ing shown that as the constitution now
stands. Congress can only regulate trusts
engaged in interstate commerce., the fol-
lowing amendment was introduced in
the House Of Representatives and press
ed to a vote on June 1, 1900:
Section l. All powers conferred BY this
article shall extend to the several States,
the territories, the District OF Columbia,
and all territory under the sovereignty and
subject to the jurisdiction OF the United
States.
NSection 2 Congress shall have power
to define. regulate, control, prohibit, or dis
solve trusts, monopolies or combinations,
whether existing In the form Of a combine
LlOH VI otuSFWiSe. Iue several Ak&teB may
continue to exercise such power In any man
ner not In conflict with the laws Of the
United States.
Section 3. Congress shall have power to
enforce the provisions Of this article by
appropriate legislation.
The clause saving all rights of States
was inserted in the hope of INDUCING
State-rights Democrats to support the
amendment. Nevertheless, the vote stood
148 Republicans for and 100 Democrats
against, and the Measure failed Of the
necessary two-thirds majority.

WAS DEMOCRACY INSANE ?
II 30, Bryan Was a Lunatic, According
to Mr.. Cleveland.

If 30, Bryan Was a Lunatic, According
to Mr.. Cleveland.
Democracy "has returned to sanity"
said Grover Cleveland recently, in an in
terview.
This statement, made with all the SOL
emn p~onderosity of which Mr.. Cleveland
IS capa bile, would imply that the Demo-
cratic party has been insane and its lead
ers a set Of lunatics. In previous inter-
views Mr.. Cleveland contented himself
with merely saying that Democracy had
strayed from the right path after
strange gods" when it embraced Bryan
ism, but since the defeat Of the Bryan
faction at st. Louis he mas been secretly
rejoicing over the apparent downfall Of
his o bitter political enemy, and on
Oct. 2, at Buzzard's Bay, he virtually
declared that Mr.. Bryan was a mailman.
How do the friends OF Mr.. Bryan in
Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska and other
States relish having their leader called
a lunatic? Insanity is lunacy, or mad
ness, and il the Democratic party has
returned to sanity it must first have
been insane. and, by the same reasoning,
IT the party was insane because Bryan
was its leader, Mr.. Bryan himself must
have been the chief ~lunatic.
Candidate Parker is generally admitted
to be a nonentity in his party-a tool of
Hill, Sheehan and others-and what he
says counts for little, but it is different
when Mr.. Cleveland talks. He is the
oracle of the Eastern Democracy. and
if he says Bryan is insane it is certain
he voices the sentiments of sane Dem
ocracy.
How can the Bryanites indorse such a
SANDER on their leader by supporting
Parker? Mr.. Cleveland declined to vote
for Bryan on the ground that the Ne
braskan was insane, but he will vote for
Parker. because he leads the sane
Democracy ticket.
An important point seems to have been
forgotten by Mr.. Cleveland. Parker vot-
ed twice for the Nebraska ''lunatic'' and
was therefore one Of the host OF madmen
who composed insane Democracy. Does
Mr.. Cleveland improve his position by
now supporting one of the madmen who
voted for the leader of insane Dem
oeracyy
Mr.. Cleveland's thrust at Bryan was
uncalled for, and will, no doubt, be re-
scented at the polls, for the friends of Mr..
Bryan do not think he should be put
in the straitjacket class.
