SPRING
1* the season in which bad or poisoned blood h
most apt to show itself. Nature, at this juncture,
needs something to aa-ist it in throwing off the im-
purities which have collected by the sluggish cir-
culation of blood during the cold winter months.
Swift's Specific is nature's great hslper, as it is a
purely veg-uble alterative and toilc.
Rev. L. B. Paine, Macea. Ga., writes: "We have
been uaing swift's SpECirflo at the orphans'home
a> a remedy foi bloo-1 complaints, and as a generai
health tonic, an : Uave hai remarkabJe results from
Its use on the chilai-n and e:a»leres of the institu-
tion. It is such an excellent tonic, and keeps th*
blood so pure, thai the avsteal Is less liable to did-
It h&s cured some of our childi'en of Scrof-
ula."
W. H. Gilbert, druggist. Albany, Ga., writes: "We
ar^ s*ilin£ lar^e au^ntitlea of Swift's Specific for
a sp r ing alterative and general health tonic, and
with th<* best results. It Is now largely used as a
preventive and cure for Malaria. There are manv
remarkable evidences of its merit in this section."

Pipe smoking is the real teat of a tobacco.
It is the regral way of smoking-. You get
more directly at the flavor and fragrance.
You take the smoke cooler, and the tonic
cleanlier and safer. Pipe smoking is
smokinr reduced to a fine art.
The mere the question of adulterated
tobacco forces itself on the attention of
smokers, the more desirable it becomes
to know precisely what you are-smoking.
In BlackwelTs Bull Durham Smoking To-
bacco you have a guarantee,
« always, that it is Nature's
L own unadulterated product
JK^ Its fragrance, flavor, and

Bacon Firmer—Holiday in the Cotton
Markets—Weekly Review.
News Omci, April 11.—There was a fair
volume of business transacted In the general
market during the day, although in the afternoon
a steady rain set in, which brought trade to almost
a complete stand-still. Louisiana sugars are
quiet and unchanged, with no receipts during the
day. Bacon is firmer and packers' agents have ad-
vanced quotations Local millers report flour
as quiet and repeat former prices. Hides are firm
with light receipts and the former range of values
remains undisturbed. In Rio coffee there is nothing
new to report and former quototions are repeated.
Of the situation at New York the Bulletin of Tues-
day says: "The reports on the market for Brazil
grades have been quiet, and we find little of
special interest for the day. Holders refrain from
any open effort to hurry matters, but are not in
all cases succesful in concealing anxiety over the
situation, and would probably meet buyers readily
on a basis of about l(%c for fair, though the quota-
tion must still be looked upon as largely nom-
inal. No sales reported, and the withdrawals em-
brace only 4836 bags Rio, ex Halley; 1500 do. ex
Tower Hill, and 1999 do. ex France. On the con-
tract market the trading was light and uneventful.
One or two operators appear to have a few buying
orders, and this gave a showing of steadiness for
awhile, but after all most of the business was on
the scalping order, and it was largely a scalping
market, with the close tame and slow for all
options, " Wool is unchanged, with but little doing
in the absence of receipts, which so far has been
confined to small aad scattering lots. Poultry and
eggs are ia fair supply and unchanged.
The following were the receipts of cotton at
Galveston for the twenty four hours ending at 6
o'clock this morning, as made up by the exchange:

weekly resbme.
The week opened on Saturday with a fair spot
demand at Liverpool at unchanged prices, futures
closing steady and with no material fluctuations as
compared with the latest prices of the previous
day. At New York and New Orleans no change
was made in the spot quotations, and futures in
both markets closed a shade cheaper. Locally the
spot market closed quiet but steady and un-
chanj^d, while contracts at the close were barely
steady and a shade lower. On Monday no altera-
tion occurred in spot quotations in any of the cen-
ters, and the closing tone was generally quiet,
prices ruling a few points cheaper all along the
line. On Tuesday spots at Liverpool ruled firmer
but not quotably higher, with a good demand, fu-
tures closing firm and active and 3®4 points
dearer. New York advanced spots 3-16c, New
Orleans partially l-16c, while in the local
market no change was made in spots. Contracts
advanced in all domestic markets from 4 to 11
points, with a good business doing. On Wednes
day spots were again advanced in all the leading
foreign and domestic markets, centracts generally
closing at a flight improvement on the prices of
the previous day. The week closed on Thursday
with spots firm at Liverpool, with a good demand
at full prices. Futures at the opening were qui-
eter, but soon improved, and closed firm at a par-
tial advance. Spots at New York opened quiet,
and ruled and olesed firm at an improvement of
116c on all the grades. Futures opened, ruled and
closed steady at an advance of 4<&8 points. At
New Orleans spots closed firm and ^®l-16c better,
futures closing firm and 5@11 points dearer. Lo-
cally the spot sales were small, as there is but
little cotton offering, and aggregated only 39 bales,
the closing tone being firm at an advance of l-16c.
Futures closed firm and 5® 11 points higher than
on Wednesday. In consequence of the Good Fri
oay holidays there were no markets, and no re-
ports were received at the exchange from any
point to-day.

Brownsville Cosmopolitan: Antonio Gal-
ves, a boy about seventeen years of age, was
out in the prairie kuown as the Castillo, and
in endeavoring to lasso a cow while on his
horse the arirnal that he was riding suddenly
became frightened at something ana threw its
rider just as he was attempting to throw the
lariat * at the cow. It so happened that An-
tonio's left arm was caught in the noose of the
lariat, the other end of which was tied to the
pommel of the saddle. The terrified beast ti^n
started across the prairie as fast as it could go
with its unfortunate rider dragging behind. It
at last stopped at the ranch of Isadro Garza,
about six miles from the starting point, where
the fatal lasso was removed from the arm of
the then dead Galves, and it was found that
his neck had been broken and his body in other
respects horribly mutilated.

The hail storm on Monday night was one
of the most destructive that ever visitod our
town. Although not a regular cyclone, the
wind blew at a fearful rate, unrooting a portion
of the residence belonging to Mr. Nicholas, aud
everlastingly salivating the windmill belonging
to Major Ranck. Signs were scattered arount
promiscuously and hundreds of window-glass
were broken. We notice since the storm that
fruit trees and gardens present a dilapidated

Whittville. Comanche county, Tex.
April 7, 1SS4.—Although there has been very
little fence-cutting in our immediate neighbor
hood, the people here have been greatly dis
turbed and society very much torn up. How-
ever, after the acts of the last legislature were
passed everything was quiet and every one ap
peared to be satisfied until the meeting of our
District Court in Comanche on the second Mon*
day in March. At that term of court those who
considered themselves injured made a desperate
effort to get testimony sufficient b« fore the
grand jury to warrant them in finding bills
against those who have been accused of cutting
fences in this county. This produced a great
deal of excitement, and we had begun to thin!;
that we were going to have troublesome and
desperate times. It was reported that wire
cutters had givew everything away concerning
the cutting in which "they had been engaged,
and armed resisteuce to the law and the killin
of witnesses who were traitors to the wire-cut-
ters was considered the next thing in order.
But after the adjournment of the grand jury
we^are surprised to learn that no bills against
wire-cutters were found. Peace and quiet have
again settled down upon us, and if the wire
cutting of the past is let alone by all parties
we expect to have a prosperous and peaceable
country.
Major Jchn M. Richardson as State
Superintendent of Public Schools.
[To The News.1
Henderson, Texas, April 9,1884.—We notice
with great pleasure that some of the papers are
bringing forward the name of Major John
Richardson, of Leesburg, Camp county, t>r thd
position above named. No one could be mcre
eminently qualified, in every respect, for the
duties and responsibilities of the office; he has
spent many years in the school-room, and is
thoroughly conversant with the practical
workings of public school systems, as well as
with the needs of our own State in this respect.
He is a gentleman of the most thorough culture
and refinement, who would do honor to any
ollire in the gift of any people. He has proved
his love for the South and her cause in a very
emphatic way. for he lost a limb upon the
heights of Wind es er. There are letters now
in our possession wuich prove him to have been
the personal and valued friend of Alexander

Concepcion, Duval county, April 6, 1884.—
I am not a granger, nor a free-grass baron,
but a stock-raiser who owns his own land, as a
!arge majority of the stock-raisers do. I pre-
face this to serve to show that I write from an
unprejudiced standpoint.
In your issue of the 2d instant you published
an interview with Governor Marion Martin,
and it gives me great pleas are to see such plain,
candid and manly facts ia print; and while I
have not had the pleasure of acquaintance with
the governor, his interview h*3 a ring of states-
manship about it that meets my views of hon-
est representative government, doing justice
alike to every citizen. Who are these free-
grass barons? They are a few individuals of
Northwest Texas who own no land, but have
worlds of cattle, and who have become opuien'
by grazing their cattle upon the school land
and uninclosed lands of private individnals
They have waxed fat and grown ric'«
and now become arrogant a&l
dictatorial because they are asked to pay %
small rental for the land that they have occu-
pied for years free of cost. Now, as an in-
stance: I own 40,000 acres of land which has
cost me, fenced, $120,000. The interest on this
sum, at S per cent., is $9600 per annum, state
and county taxes, $2000, making a total of
$11,600. This will support, at most, 6000 head
of cattle. Now take your Slaughters, Simp-
sons and others of Northwest Texas, who re-
present from 25,000 to 40,000 head of cattle,
and see what a grand saving they make by
their cattle feeding on the free grass. They
are no doubt right in getting a'l they can, but
the question that presents it-eif. is it right t j
let them do so? Said one of these free-grass
luminaries in a speech before the convention
at Austin, in reply to a gentleman who spoke
of the fluty of the legislature to ob-
tain the greatest | possible revenue from
the school lands for the K-nefit-of posterity!
We should legislate or to ay and let
posterity take care of its If. ihis is, no
doubt, their ideas, as they want free gras«,
and by having it the cost of raising stock is
;iust one-half v^hat it is to the n an who own#
his own pasture lands. Is it right to give suet
advantages to a few who have .ilready grow^
oppulent by the use of that which really bij
longs to the barbarous ages, free grass? J hej
reject the offer of the land board to lease then
land at S cents per acre, and yet that is liiuc.
more favorable to them than if they ownei
the land. Ah! the day has pas&ed,44 free-gras
barons/' when you can dictate a policy to th
State of Texas in your own interest, Th*
stockraiser who owns his owh land and tha
farmer will never permit it; and such men as
Marion Martin, speaking out in tones not to be
misunderstood, will sound the clarion notes
that will tell sadly on the policy of Gov-
ernor Ireland when he offers for
re-election. The course of The News
upon the question has been right tliroughoi 1
and viewed from a proj>er standpoint. A herd
law advocated by them is the panacea to euro
all the ills, and the day is not far distant
wheu the gold cf the free-grass barons will not
avail. The school children, civilization, the
progress of the State, and the spirit of the age
alike demand it. Wanderer.
Sheep and *WogI.
A United States veterinary surgeon, last
year, made a thorough examination of Texas
sheep, to investigate the subject of lombriz,
and after reporting all the facts, concludes as
follows: " The so-called lombriz becomes a
destructive disease, or causes severe losses,
only if the affected flock of sheep is in a bad—
weak, emaciated and anaemic—c< n lition. or
where the range is badly infected with worm-
brcod, and not adapted to sheep-raising.
account of the favorabl e c m liti »ns it o:i\ s
for the preservation of eutozoa (worms) white
their embryonic state. I would ex-
clude from a sheep range, but par-
ticularly from a lamb range, first, all such
land as "is low and level and inclined to be wet;
secondly, all so-called hog-wallow or bufTaio-
wallow land; thirdly, all such land as contains
small pools of stagnant water, not to speak of
swamps, sloughs aud swales. It is true, sheep
need but little water compared with what ii
needed by other animals, but they need some,
and what they need is water of the very best
uality, or w ater that is as free as possible from
ecaving organic substances, and consequently
free from (pathogenic) schizoph\ tes and worm-
brood. Every year a great many improved
sheep are imported into Texas, especially from
California, Vermont, Ohio. Michigan aud from
several other States, and these imported sheep
are the ones that introduce not only scab and
foot-rot—which latter, by the way, is very
rare in Texas—but also every kind of worm-
brood. The Texas flock-masters, there-
fore, in importing sheep or in buyirg
imported sheep, can not be too cautious in
seeing to it that he gets perfectly healthy ani-
mals, belonging to healthy flocks, and none
that are sutfering from or infected with any of
those diseases named. Most of the diseased
sheep or sheep afflicted with entozoa that are
imported are brought in by dealers, and by
them are sold usually in lots, which conta'i
good ones and poor ones, to the highest bid" r
or in open mark ^t, after they have been drive.*,
through the whoU- State or a large portion of
the same, and thus been permitted to infect
more than oue range. Beside that, they usu-
ally come in the fall, the very season in which
most of the worm-brood is dissemiuated. What
remedies or preventives may be necessary to
avoid an infection of a sheep 1 an^e with worm-
brood may bo concluded from the above. It is
not for me to say what ought to be done. It is
for the flock-masters themselves to act and to
decide, or to adopt such measures as will meet
the object in view.
Abilene Reporter: Menefee & Breckinridge
last week received a clip of wool of seventeen
sacks, which weighed 4137 pounds. Lewis
Maier also bought a small clip. Abilene will
receive a much larger quantity of wool this
season than last. The average fleece will be
about two pounds heavier and of a mtic^i supe-
rior grade than that of last year. The pros*
pects are that we will have a lively market,
as quite a number of wool-buyers are expected
to be here Our wool merchants expect about
5,000,000 pounds of wool to be handled ac
Abilene this season. Last season the amount
handled here was 3,250,000 pounds Shep-
herds report the lambing season progressing
finely. Most every one is raising about or
nearly 100 per cent. The season is much more
favored than last year. Sheep aro in a splen-
did condition.
Colorado Clipper: The first clip of wool this
season was brought in from Yellow House,
* riday, by Mr. Fawcett, and sold to Messrs.
O Beirne," Hicks & Co., of Philadelphia, for
13 H cents per ^ouud.
Tom Green Enterprise: From all parts of
Tom Green and the adjoining counties come
the most favorable reports from the sheepmen;
100 ]>er cent, of iambs is not at ail uncommon,
and all unite in saying that the wool clip has
never been better. There is little, if any, scab
in the country.

During the late severe cold snap in the west
many of the cattle trains arriving in Chicago,
it is said, had scores of frozen animals. A train
loaded with mules direct from the Texas pas-
tures on arriving at Independence, Mo., con-
tained 100 mules, which were frozen to death
while on the train.

The Western Kansas Cattle-growers' con-
vention at Dodge City. last week, received a
report from their executive committee saying:
It is the unanimous opinion of your committee
that the time has now come when an entire
change of policy should be inaugurated regard-
ing the driving and holding of the through
Texas cattle over and upon ranges occupied
by members of the association. The State of
Texas, at the recent session of its legislature,
passed very stringent laws regarding the hold-
ing of cattle upon lauds other than those to
which the parties so holding could show title.
In view of the character of the legislation,
whereby Texas demands for her citizens such
absolute protection from invasion and attaches
such high value to her grazing lands, how can
it be expected that we with our countless
thousands of high grade cattle ranging over a
country already beyond its capacity, should
continue to permit the passage of hundreds of
thousands of through Texas cattle annually
over a tract through the very heart of outf
grazing country? We claim that th9
necessity for a dead line no longer
exists, and ask that the law in
force in the State preventing the driving
or holding of Texas cattle through the section
of country east of the present dead-line should
be amended so as to make it apply to the inter-
state. The business of driving Texas cattle
northward is now confined to hardly more than
a score of men. These few men claim to make
but a small margin of profit on the purchase
and driving of their cattle to be seld in this
and other northern markets. Assuming this
to be the fact, we believe it would be cheaper
for the stockmen of this section of the country
to pay the drovers annually the profits realized
b \ them on the cattle driven than to have their
interests constantly jeopardized and suffer
continued loss of valuable cattle. There is no
reason why the great State of Texas, with her
great system of railways of to-day, should not
be placed in the same colleague on the same
footing with other States in the exportation
and marketing of her products. It is probably
n<5t an exaggeration to say that 95 per cent, of
the cattle-raisers of Texas do not wish to drive
their cattle to this or other States, but prefer
to contract for the sale and delivery of their
cattle at some railroad shipping point, either
at home or at the point of destination.
Eating Cancer*
John Naves, a young man living near this
place, has been afflicted for fivr years with one
of the most angry-looking eat .g cancers that
I ever saw. His nose had b^eii eaten awav,
and the cancer was feeding itself on his cheek,
mouth, and throat, and rfj^feought it was only
a question of time when m* itself would give
way. I advised Swift's Specific, and its effect
was wonderful. After the first bottle he could
attend to his business, and after five bottles
he is nearly or quite well. The poison has been
forced from his system, and he is a new man.
