G. T. & W. Raildroad Making Survey.
Tuesday morning the people of
Cottle county and Paducah began
to have their interests aroused a-
gain with the railroad world when
the officials of the Gulf, Texas &
Western and several representative
men from this place started to the
Plains to see if a way could be
secured for them to get on top of the
caprock. Those composing the
party were Vice President Ben B.
Cain, Chief Engineer J. F. Witt, S.
P. Britt and John W. Carroll with
several helpers.
The only thing that now seems
possible for Paducah to miss gett-
ing this road is the probability
that a way will not be found for
them to get on the Plains. This
proposition, so the cowboys tell us,
will be accomplished, and that a
better way can be found for the G.
T. & W. than the Denver has.
Soon as they have made this pre-
liminary survey the same party is
going to start from here to Seymour
to make survey of the same
nature which will be accomplished

First, finish up the main roads

two good hands and all the necess-
ary tools. Start him in on a road
division with instructions to warn

division in good shape. Send him
right along from one division to
another until the

CURE FOR COLIC IN HORSES
Two Excellent Remedies Prescribed
That Are Safe—Keep Animal

(By H. A. COOLEY.)
Procure some gunpowder contain-
ing saltpetre, which acts on the kid-
neys; also some charcoal and soda,
which act upon the stomach and in-
testines, and drench the horse with
this. Another way is to take salt-
petre, alum, charcoal, and laudanum,
equal parts, and drench the horse with
the mixture. They are all perfectly
safe except the laudanum, so be care-
ful not to give over an ounce of the
drug. Keep the horse well blanketed
