And now comes the news tna'
since the pure food law went into
effect and government agents have
been Analysing some OF the leading
commodities which have been in
strumental in building up ou'
much boosted prosperity. some
startling facts have been brought
to light, says the Austin Statesman
For instance. one Of the leading
brands of smoking tobacco, which
has been held up by the manufac-
turer as the very essence of purity
for many years, has been found to
contain 81 per cent. alfalfa, S per
cent. arsenic for colofing purposes
per cent. opium and only 50 pei
cent. tobacco. aud that Of a very
low grade.
Another discovery made by the
government which may have a ten
dency to make booze fighters
take theirs straight" in the good
old Kentucky way is the fact that
the cherries which many Of them
demand in their glasses are moi
cherries at all, but merely clever
limitations of this luscious fruit
made from gelatiue, which in turn
is made from beef hoofs principally
There seems to be only one class
of people on earth who really know
what they are eating, and that is
the farmer, who raises and cans OF
preserves his own product.-Pales-

Near Kssps's Ferry Upsa Receipt
Of SIo.eoo Less frsn
Cillseas.

The commissioners court on yes
terday accepted the proposition
from citizens to build a new iror
or steel bridge at or near Koppe's
Ferry across the Brazcs river be-
tween Brazos and Burleson county
The proposition. which has been
previously outlined in the Eagle,
provides that citizens make a loan
of ero,o 900 to the county for six
years without interest. and the
county provide the balance of the
fund necessary for the enterprise.
The county will build, own and
maintain the bridge and refund the
loan to those subscribing to the
fund at the end of the six years.
The court further ordered that
as soon as the $ro. 600 loan has been
placed in bank subject to the order
Of the court immediate steps will
be taken to build the bridge.
As the Eagle has previously stat
ed, Hoppe & Robinson propose to
supply $1,000 of the loan, and the
other FIVE thousand is to be raised
among citizens and business men.
The Eagle understands that part Of
the fund has been raised and has
no doubt that the remainder will
be secured without delay, and that
the bridge will be built and ready
for free use by the public before the
opening of the next fall season.
The Eagle desires to commend the
court and others interested in the
notable enterprise.

LIBERAL PREMIUMS FOR TEXAS CORN

More than thousand dollars will
be distributed for premiums on
Texas corn. These are given in
order that the best there is in corn
may be seen by large number OF
farmers who will possibly gather
inspiration to do as well. The
Dallas State Fair and the San An
tonic international Fair have
greatly increased their premiums
on corn and all interested growers
should send for the catalogs Of these
fairs giving the list of premiums.
The association itself holds a
Corn Show" in connection with
its regular Mid-Winter meetings.
More than 5000 in premiums was
awarded at its meeting in Waco
last January. In this connection
mention should be made of the
Holland Medal" Col. Frank
Holland OF the Farm and Ranch
Publishing Co., has offered a
special medal of a cash value of $50
for the best corn displayed at the
annual corn show Of the Texas
Corn Growers Association. The
rules under which il will be award
ed will be adopted at the coming
meeting Of the association at the
A. and NJ. College In July.
OF more than passing interest is
the National Corn Show to be held
in Chicago. October S to I9. 1897.
> Many thousand dollars will be dis
'fributed for premiums on corn. In
addition to the general premiums
open to the world. there will be a
number Of state premiums. In
common with other corn states
Texas will be apportioned $500 ac-
cording to recent announcements.
Texas can show corn with the
world rs was demonstrated at the
Chicago and the st. Louis Worlds
Fairs. She will do Il again at
Chicago in 1907.
I want every person who is in
terested in seeing Texas properly
represented at the National Corn
Show to send :me their names 50
