to be the real animus Of the opposition,
that it would take $250,000 out of C. j.
Lords bank, which would mean a loss
to him Of quite a few hundred dollars,
as that amount judiciously invested, if
for no longer than three or six months,
would bring him a handsome return.
The state, they claim, has pretty nearly
a million dollars at present in Lord s
bank and if he can keep it up to that
amount, it will mean many thousands
to his gain. Should the supreme court
hold with the land commissioners and
the bonds are bought, the Republican
party will be in for the biggest scandal
it has ever before faced in this state,
and this is not said for the purpose of
decrying the validity of the transac-
ton, but from the standpoint that the
opposition party press will make much

legal controversy is, his office was called
upon to advise the commissioners as to
the validity of the bonds from munl-

bonds were favorably acted upon by
the commissioners Both Mr.. Atkinson
and his deputies, as well as the COVER
nor and his secretary, deny the printed
report that there are unpleasant rela
tions between the two, either officially
or otherwise, but it is an honest differ

In this connection, too, it might not
be out of place to state that Lieutenant

SNOW IN WEST TEXAS.
Wheat and Oats are Doing WeIl-An
Abundance OF Rain.

Dimmitt, Texas, April Is, '05.
To the Bryan Eagle:
would not worry the readers OF
the Eagle with another letter 70
soon but for the tact that ] wish tO
tell them Of the recent snow. II
began showing Tuesday ,,April IL
and for about three hours showed
as hard as at any time during the
winter. The flakes were very large
and they melted as fast as they
fell, as the ground was warm. We
are having some very nice weather
at present, and the "nesters" are
making good use Of it, although
the indications are for more rain as
it is very cloudy tonight and the
wind is from the east.
Wheat and oats are up and are
growing nicely; fall wheat is joint
ing. There is quite a lot of maize,
Kafiir corn, Indian corn and sor.
ghum planted in this community
now. May is our main month for
planting out here. y # As |

! can tell Of the splendid rain that
fell during the night. l only heard
il raining once or twice, but judg-
ing from the water on the ground
this morning, il must have rained
the greater part of the night.
Grass is looking we'll; we will
surely have fine grass here this
fall, and fat cattle. Some OF our
neighbors have been offered $500
per head for their steer yesrlings,
but are holding for $500.
