we have said of Senator DeLong we
could and would say of any one of

We don't measure the quality of our

no party only so far as that party
can be used to further its own ends.

THE "GUN' MAN.

The peace officers of Mesa county
should begin at once crusade which
should know no ending until every
gun is wrested from man and boy
who has no right to have them in
their possession on the streets of this
city
Almost any fifteen-year-old kid
can now be found carrying a gun, and
there are numbers of men carrying
concealed deadly weapons on their
persons which are menace to the
lives of the public.
irresponsible boys and their eld-
ers are dangerous persons to be en-
trusted with death-dealing weapons.
This can be also said of hot-tempered
public officials, who. granted lit

sible occasion to show how handy
they are with their guns. OF the

The Post has switched again. 1t
evidently missed connection with a
proposed hold up of Bill Evans and
the Peabody gang, and it is now at
tempting to fight Peabody, as hard
as it made the attempt to fight Ad-
ans. But then the fighting days of
the Post are almost over, so far as
any influence it may carry goes. The
people have lost confidence in it and
the confidence of the people is the
absolute necessity upon which pa
per must exist. A newspaper, even
if 1t is n wealthy publication. has
to be found in the right once in
while. But the public has convicted
the Post, and the public rarely makes

and remanded the case for a new

wash. That DIETRICH is guilty in the
minds generally of the people of Ne
braska is unquestionable and the
proof of it will be his retirement at
the end of his term of office, with the
obloquy of the people heaped upon
him. Senator Burton will find it an
awfully hard matter to convince his
constituents that he was innocent of
wrong doing when he accepted money
from such disreputable association
as the gambling racing outfit proved
to be in st. Louis. 1t is best when
holding such high public positions to

~ about twelve and one-half miles in
h<ngth, two and one half miles Of 1t

beds lying north of the prison. 1t is
this portion Of the line which is to be
extended to a connection with the T..
On o. The ore bed line was con-
structed soon after the erection of the
/ first iron furnace at the penitentiary
MISS. Connecting with this line and
extending southwesterly from the
POISON is nearly ten miles of track,
which was laid into the woods to Sc
cure timber supply for the furnsnce.
The construction Of this line was be-
gun about 1890, and extensions were
made from time to time subsequently.
This is the line which is to be extended
to Palestine. There is also leg of
about mile connecting the peniten-
tiary yards with the Cotton Belt rail-
road at Rusk station.
When the conjunction of the line
into the woods was started it was the
intention ultimately to extend it to
Palestine, but the project has lain dor
msnt for many years. About two
years ago the penitentiary board
agreed TO lease the road to w. w.
Knox, who owns much saw timber in
Texas, and desired to secure the use of
the property for the purpose Of getting
out and saving timber. He desired,
however, TO be in position to divide
through rates on the lumber with the
Cotton Belt railroad, but when the
matter was presented to the Railroad
Commission that body informed Mr..
Kaox that be would not be entitled to
rcsaiv1--- divisions unless be put
! - Into b usiness rs common
car ~ aud accepted the traffic OF the
public. But Mr.. Knox was unwilling
to do so, so the trsde,f fell through. 1t
is understood that the new owners Of
the road will hold themselves out as
commou cSfrtets.
The act of the Twenty Ninth Legis-
lature authorizing the Texas & New
Orleans to sell its Dallas division pro-
vided as one of the conditions that
branch of that line should be con-
structed into Rusk, but nothing has
been done toward compliance with the
condition, nor toward exercise of the
permit granted. The people of Rusk
and the penitentiary management as
well have been extremely anxious to
get into connection with the T. & NO.
and it appears that the construction
OF such line by the purchasers OF the
penitentisry road is made one of the
conditions of the deal.

PENITENTIARY ROAp is

Extended to Palestine, and to
The T. & N. %. Railroad.

Local events transporting give color
to the report that the State has sold
to private parties the Rusk prison
railroad.
The penitentiary board met in this
city few days ago, and after a
lengthy conference adjourned They
denied that the meeting had any local
significance, and to direct question
put by Herald man, one of the mem
bers declared the meeting was with
out any reference to this road; that
they met at Palestine to consider some
matters connected with. the peniten-
tiaries, and that the meeting was held
ia this city because Vt was the most
centrally located for the meeting. 1t
was reported, unofficially that the con-
ference was in regard to this bit of
State railroad. Now the report comes
from Dallas that Messrs. j. j. Robin
son and Louis Lipshitz of Tyler, and
J. W. Summers of Rusk, had purchased
this road, and would extend it to Pal
estine and to connection with the T.
& n. o. railroad. Mr.. Robinson is a
private citizen of Tyler, and il he is in
the deal he is acting for other parties
He is good, substantial man, and q
good business man, but not capitalist.
MIR, Lipshitz is wholesale dry goods
merchant, associated with the A. Hsr-
ris & CO. firm of Tyler and he is also
interested in the sawmill business, or
was a few years ago. he has good
financial backing. Mr.. Robinson has
spent the greater part Of this week in
Palestine and Anderson county, and
informed Herald man he was here on
some land business. He was very re-
tlcent, merely stating this much. str9
Will A. Woldert, civil engineer from
Tyler, has been in the county for more
two weeks. Yesterday Col. T. n.
Jones of Tyler, who with Dallas parties,
owns thousands of acres of land in this
county, was in the city with other men,
aud the party made trip through the
country in hacks.
There is evidently something behind
all this activity. Col. Jones is regu-
lar PhyDx unless he wants to talk, and
it. is utterly impossible to get any
thing out of him. YOU Just can't
pump him. But when he does talk he
generally has something to say.
It is reported that the purchase price
OF this property was $4,000, with
traffic contract under which the new
owners will transport the penitentiary
freight. The proposed connection
with the T. & n. o. will be made at or
near Ponts, about seven miles north

Some Whose Waters Al Chnrger
with Magic or MiracuIo ~ Power.
Though there are hundreds of wells
supposed TO possess magical power
scattered lover Englnnd the general
public is ignorant of their locality or
the romantic stories connected with
each one. There may be Il possible eN.
ceptlOn in the well Of ST. Keyne in
Cornwall, for Southey has made It IA
nous in a witty little poem The mag
ic Of its waters is such that the hus-
band or wife who drinks first from 1t
after leaving the altar will have the
upper hand over tile mate for their
joint lives. The bride of whom Southey
tells us did not wait till after the mar,
riage ceremony TO pay Il visit to the
well, but took the precaution of taking
bottle with her TO the church.
Another well, in MonmOuthshre
which has n peculiar fascination for
the unmarried maidens is known Is
the "virtuous we'll" For generations
the maidens of that locality have ac-
credited II with marvellous powers in
foreCasting their futures. They have
only to drop pebble into its water
and count the resultant bubbles, for
each bubble represents n month Of
waiting for the day which will make
them brides. In order to prOpltiate
the genius which presides over the well
it is necessary to decorate the bram-
bles which shade it with bits of white
CLOTH
Then there are the so called holy
wells which have many medicinal vir-
tues. Such a one Is St Winifred's, at
IIOlywell which is accredited with
cures that are almost miraculous. The
legend of its origin Is very pretty
one 1t is said that twelve centuries
ago st. Winifred the winsOme daugh-
ter of Welsh chief was wooed by
Prince Caradoc, prince of Ill repute.
She declined his persistent advances,
and at last he killed her in fit of
rage. From the spot on which st.
Winifred's lifebloOd fell there gushed
forth stream of crystal water which
has worked miracles in her name for
so many centuries.
Practically all the ills to which the
flesh is heir can be cured by one or an
other of these wells. st. Nnan's. in
Cornwall, is said to restore lunatics to
sdnity, but the patient must be i'm
mersed in the water and held there un-
til the breath has nearly left his body.
This seems a heroic measure. But even
which must be endured If a madman IS
to be cured ut Llandegla WELL in
Wales, for after the victim is nearly
drowned he Is trussed like a fowl and
laid under the communion table of the
church for the night.
