PLAN COLONY IN II texas. :
Big Tract to Be Settled BY Faem.rs
from Europe.


Chicago.-A tract of land compris.
ing $4,000 acres has been purchased
near Raymondville. Tex, on the Gulf
coast railroad. for the colonization Of
farmers from France, Belgium.
switzerland and Holland. The land
was purchased by A. M. Davidson, Of
chicago. and the colonists are being
found by his eminence. Mgr. ]. r.
Viiatte. right reverend archbishop and
primate of the Old Roman Catholic
church In the United States.
The plan of the archbishop, who
makes his headquarters In Chicago,
is to colonize the tract with people
OF his own religious faith. Ninety
acres have been set aside In the cen.
ter OF the tract. and upon this will
be erected monastery and a cloister
Tor the education OF priests and for
the preparation Of young men for the
ministry. The archbishop will be at
the head Of the monastery.
1t is the purpose OF those who are
carrying on the project to allot the
land to the immigrants In 4O-acre
tracts. which is the largest farm one
man can handle In that section of the
country. From France grape grow.
ers are to be taken to secure OK.

cement. The output OF Stag cement
Is included with the figures for the
natural rock cement. A new Port.
land cement plant is building at
Dixon. M
Lead mines In the state are not i'm.
portant. but the fact that this metal
Is produced Is interesting. The forth.
coming report will say on this point:
"A small amount of lead ore is
mined in northwestern Illinois, and
n little OF 1t is reduced in a local
furnace near Galena. The bulk Of
the lead smelted In the state, how
ever. comes from Alton. where the
Federal Lead company has a large
modern plant. II Is run mainly on
ores from Missouri. particularly the
southeastern part OF the state. Since
there is only the one producer It is
impracticable TO give the output for
Illinois separately"
The increase in Illinois coal pro.
duction from 1888 to the present year
is graphically illustrated In n bulletin
of the state survey. which says: IN
the last 25 years the production OF
the state has increased $40 per cent.
II the same rate OF increase contin.
ues for another quarter OF century
the annual production then will be
approximately l35.O00.00O short tons.
The production for the last ten years
has increased at even more rapid
rate. amounting TO ii3 per cent.
AT this rate n production of So
100000 tons will be reached In ten
years. or approximately 2So,OO0.o0O
tons In 25 years. This is about the
amount OF bituminous coal now mined
and sold In the whole OF the United
States. 1t is impossible to say what
the future rate of increase will in fact
be. but these figures are at least seri'
GUS possibilities and the production
undoubtedly will increase rapidly for
many years TO come.

FROM THIS THE PRESIDENT ESCAPES.

The annual house cleaning is now in progress
at the White House. 1t would require an expert
mathematician to figure out Just how many
coats OF paint. how many yards of plastering and
how much expenditure of money there have been
lavished upon this historic old building. Every
year the interior Is gone over and every year the
outside is either painted or washed. SO that the
glistening whiteness may be retained.
The decorations OF the executive mansion
need careful attention always and the paint and
enamel work has to be kept clean and free from
all marks and scratches. The multitude of pill
srims who annually visit this building is disposed
to be critical. and II any dirt any defacement
OF decorations or walls is discovered. there Is

that unless something is done by treaty or other
wise. the United States will soon be overrun by
this undesirable class In the naturalization law
recently passed. there is a restriction giving
citizenship to anarchists and regulations now
being formulated to make this effective. That.
however. does not prevent anarchists coming to
this country and preaching their doctrine. II Is

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to the
madical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti-
tutional treatment. Hall's-Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the founda
ton of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con-

its work. The proprietors have so much
