| thought | would drop YOU a
few lines and let you know how
matters in this part of Texas
are going. There was a number
of people that came down here
who were over to the fair at San
Antonio. In travelling about the
ranches on one of our trips. we
saw herd Of twenty-five deer
and we succeeded in shooting
three and we also were fortunate
in shooting three wild hogs last
evening. They are called ''iav-
lines here and are quite Zero
cious animals. When one gets
crippled. the hunter will find
he has plenty of game to look
after besides his own solid anat-
omy, as the saying goes, there
is something doing. There are
plenty of other kinds of game
here. When X. G.. Oldham of
Canyon was down in this coun-
try he was so pleased with its
looks that he purchased a quar-
ter.
We closed contract today for
three deep wells which we feel
sure when finished will flow at
least $4,000 gallons per minute
to each well. as there are wells
that have a four inch bottom
pipe that are flowing 10000 gal
Ions per minute now and our
new wells will have an eight
inch pipe. The water is of ex-
cellent quality, soil good, eli
mate fine. They are now plant
ing out onions here,

fair. j. +. ROGERS.

Second. In looking over my

Sears, Mr.. Roebuck's, or other
company's names. which reminds
me that neither of these gentle
men have ever given me 4 pen
ny's patronage. Why is this?

Their of them needed a physician,
or are they afraid of the mail Or

practice of medicine? ! can GER
tainly give as good satisfaction
by mail as your house can, and
will appreciate a call from either
of them when in need of medical
service.
Third. In looking over the
subscription lists for improving
our streets and public highways,
| have failed to find the name of
either member Of your firm down
for one penny to assist in the
work. Also | have been unable
to find your name on any Of the
charity lists where help has been
rendered to our poor; in other
words you are not down as a con-
tributor to our Helping Hand So
ciety. In fact, in all the move
ments for the betterment Of our
condition, where our community
has needed the united efforts of
her public spirited citizens. |
have failed to find your name
among the list of our contributing
merchants. Your name is not on
the city tax books, nor do | find
where you have paid a city IL
cense to do a mercantile business
in competition with our home
merchants.
These are a few answers to
you questions, and | trust you
will see the justice of them"

Philatheas Entertain.

Last evening at the beautiful
home of Mrs. John Rowan ST.,
the Philathea Class of the Baptist
Sunday School entertained the
young mems Baraca Glass. The
whole house was thrown open
to the young people and each
room in the lower floor was dec
Grated in blue and white, the col

the chandeliers hung long strips
Of blue and white crepe paper
while in ditferet parts of the
rooms, large bouquets of chrys-
anthemums, the class flower,
gave forth their fragrance.
Invitations were sent out sew
eral days ahead of time and about
forty were present. Each guest
was required to bring a little bun
die of some descristion and trade
it off to someone else not know
ing what it contained. Miss
Bowyer, upon opening her pack
age, found a good sized lunch
of onions. lemons and biscuits,
while Miss Lair, the president
of the Philatheas, after unwrap-
ping several reams Of paper,
found a package of chewing gum.
After much laughter over the
contents of the bundles, games
Of different sorts were played
in the parlors. Refreshments
of coffee and sandwiches were
served.
Everyone Of the young men
voted the Philatheas the most
charming Of hostesses and eX-
pressed themselves as having
had the biggest time of their
ives.

 Sayles' all round playing and Mur- p hy's kicking were features of the game.
 Busch in right field had two flies batted him but he cleverly avoided being hit by either.
 J. K. Weitze and hls son Harry together with Oscar and Floyd Loomis, Charles Ramsey and Jas. Nichols came up from below this morning on the City of Seattle.
 Mr. Weitzel also brought up an en- zine, d hoist, a centrifugal pump and about three tons of machinery and supplies for his gold mining property at Thorn Arm
 The property at Thorn Arm shows good values, so much that Mr. Weitzel is putting in lots of work ana money to develop it. The values are there and he is going after the quantity which he believes is as certain as the value. Thus another man is waking up 10 the necessity of scientific min ing, and that he will win is forgono conclusion.

again-so little does time and decay
figure in the world of ice.
Between 1864 and 1869 Hall again
roamed over the ice fields and this
time found many relics of the Frank
lin party.
In 1871 he commanded the Polaris,
which left this country to seek the
north pole. The same year he en-
tered the polar sea and reached lati-
tude 50 degrees II minutes, the high
est point then attained by any vessel,
Hall wintered at Thank God bay and
prepared for a new dash into the pole
regions. His exertions brought on an
attack of apoplexy and he died in
Greenland. With his knowledge of
the arctic regions and his understand
ing of Eskimo character, it is believed
that if Hall had lived he would have
reached the pole.
Englishman Surpasses Others.
After Hall it was an Englishman
who gained the honor of advancing
still nearer to the pole-Sir George
Strong Mares, commander of the Alert
and Discovery in 1876. When the ice
would not permit the vessels to adj
vance farther north Mares took to his
sledges and entered Lincoln sea, stop.

DEMOCRACY is UNITED
Talk About Discord in
the Party.

Champ Clark gives a good account
of his stewardship as leader of the
Democratic forces in the house dur
ing the special session. In doing so
he puts to confusion a lot of silly talk
about Democratic differences on the
tariff and Democratic Indifference to
duty in opposing the robber tariff
buccaneers.
When parties are divided upon po-
litical principles nothing is more diff
ficult than to poll the full party vote
for economic reform. Local and per-
sonal interests are often too strong
for that. Mr., Clark, therefore, pro-
duces a good record for the minority
in the present congress by his show
ing that it was more solidly united
against the Republican policy of high
protection than it has been in any
tariff contest since monopoly tariff be-
came the cardinal principle of the Re-
publican party.
There was good reason why the
Democrats in congress should have
stood almost solidly against what Re-
publican leaders hypocritically call a
revision downward of the Dingley law,
1t is a thing to be remembered by the
Democratic party and by the country
that, as Mr.. Clark has discovered, the
rates in the new law average two per
cent. higher than Dingley's and that
the maximum, to be applied in all
cases unless RENTED by the presi-
dent, is % per cent. added to that. In
attacking this outrage the Democratic
party will be as united and aggressive
in the campaign of next year as it was
in the recent session.
