A Great State.
IkMtoft Glebe.
j To the visiting Grand Army del-
j egations from Texas and Kansas
owe a very interesting anu attrac-
tive feature of this week's enter-
tainment for besides their own
welcome personalities they
brought withj them al splendid ex-
hibit of the resources of their re-
spective states which is open to
the inspection of the public at Hor-
ticultural hall. Without intending
to draw any comparisons as to the
relative value of thefee two exhib-
its that of Texas is especially sug-
gestive since one is unavoidably
reminded of the ' prospective
wealth. noDulation and power ofi
a state which the Lj)dge election
bill declares in effect to be inca-
pable of supervising its own elec-
tions and mindingits own business
politically. Some idea of the fu-
ture Texas may be formed when
it is stated that she has an area of
252614 square milbs equal to
about 8.7 per cent. j)f the entire
population of the United States
and territories. Texas is six times
larger than New Y'orkj seven times
as large as- Ohio .and 100000
sqaure miles larger; than all the
eastern and middle states includ
vr-.iQrsri
Comnared wirihe countries of
Europe site has 34000 square miles
more than the Austrian empire
62000 more than the! German em-
pire and nearly 76000 square
miles more than France. The
imperial demensionsiof this state
are only equaled by the richness
and vflstness of her resources.
The specimens of Bes.samer iron
- ..
on exhibition at Horticulture hall
together with other exhibits ot
ores entering into the composition
of Bessimer steel fully justify tho
protectionist congressmen of Penn-
sylvania in their fears that if some
of these ores are not put on the free
list Texas will yet drive the Key-
stone state out of the stpel market.
Hence as we have before shown
Texas and some of her sister states
in the south are yet liable to
drive Pennsylvania into the advo-
cacy of free xaw material as a
measure of self defence. With
marvelous internal resources and
with the population engaged in her
chief industrial centers increasing
at the rate of 300 per cent a year
what amazing assurance must pos-
I force bill in proposing politically
to handcuff such a mammoth state

Black Walnut.

Not many years ago it was
con
I sidered most remarkable under
taking when men paid as high as
6150 for largo standing black
walnut trees and cut and
railed t"ho logs to New York so
says .the Timberman; but men ea
: gaged
rn the busiuess are now
shipping black walnut logs from
Nebraska in the far west to Now
York and Montreal aud scouring
the country to securo the logs.
Many farmers in tho west who has
converted large black walnut
trees into rails and burned them
in the log heap to get rid of them
if ho had a hundred to-day might
from the proceeds of the same
not only pay off the mortage on
his farm but stock it with blood
ed cattle and purchase all tho
necessary labor-saving farm imple
ments to conduct modern farming
with. Hundreds of farmers living
to-day have destroyed sufficient
black walnut in the clearing up
process to amount to more than
their entire earnings of a life time.
If they had heeded the advice oft
the author of the lines "Wood-
man spare " that tree" instead of
applying the axe to tho destruct-
ion thereof their financial con-
dition to-day would have been far
different from what it is. The
Timberman recently visited a farm
that was yoars ago entirely fenced

pile as they are superseded by
modorn fencing and tho Owner of
tho iarm made tho statement that
he had dostroyod black walnut
timber on his place which "if it
were standing at this time would
be of more value than three such
farms with their buildings and ap-
purtenances. BlairSays its all Right.
Mr. S. O. Blair Chicago says :

When one reflects that but 78
years ago within the memory of
living men Chicago was attacked
and burned by the Indians and its
inhabitants massacred it is pos-
sible to realize. something of the
rapidity with which our country
has grown. Less than 100 years
the city which is now the queen
of tho west great in extent in
inhabitents and in commerce did
not exist at all. Its site was an
F5nbrok?P widernes8 and the river

solitude. The anniversary of the
great massacre ocenred last Fri-
day but the people of Chicago
found it difficult to realize that
only78year8 ago the streets of
their village ran blood aud rang
with the wild whoops of savages.
It is something more than a village
now but tho great massacre has
scarcely passed beyond the stage
of a reminiscence and' become his-
tory. Ex.

One minute with poverty staring
him in the face; the next a rich man
for life. That was the actual ex-
perience of S. P. Armstrong who
died of heart disease at Butler
Pa. He had invested all his
funds in sinking a well in Thorn
Creek oil region of Pennsylvania
a sort 6i fa'reweilpiflftiSlr cUdas
his ill luck the explorer fired a
torpedo in its depths. Immedi-
ately after the explosion the well
began to flow at a tremendous
rate a volume being lifted in the
air to the height of at least one
hundred feet. iNot having ex
pected a big welt no connections
had been made to the tanks and
the oil flowed on tho ground com-
pletely deluging the entire neigh-
borhood. After several hours
the oil was turned into the tanks
with great personal risks to tho
workmen and the first day's pro-
duction was 10 barrels the largest
well ever opened in the oil county.
It was a mine of wealth to Mr.
Armstrong and developed a large
scope of rich territory.

Good Advice Showing Result
Edward Siivey Chicago gives
testimony : "My wife had catarrh
twenty-five years; suffered se-
verely for six years before she be-
gan to use your remedy. Unable
to breathe except through the
mouth ; in a critical condition.
Tried everything without reliof-
when Dr. Streeter advised her to
buy Clarke's Extract of Flax (Pa-
pillon) Catarrh Cure. Eelief fol-
lowed immediately. She contin-
ued to use it until she is now en-
tirely cured. Her health has not
been so good in many years."

A Fcrttient QeesiioiB.
At the conclusion of a festival
an' excellent teacher desirous of
administering a trilling moraUes-
son inquired of the boys if they
had enjoyed the repast. With
the ingenuous modesty of youth
they all responded "Yes sir."
"Then" asked the excellent teach-
er "If you had slipped into ttiey
garden and picked those straw-
berries without my leave would
they have tasted as good as now !"
Every small boy in that stained
and sticky company shrieked
"No sir-li' "Why not ! "Cause"
said little Thomas with the cheer-
fulness of conscious virtue
"then we shouldn't have had sugar
and cream with 'em."
What's -the matter with the big
shows this year 1 None of them
come this way. At least they
have not done so yet. We have
heard of several breaking up in
the northern states and we can't
help thinking that they made a
mistake by failing to come to Tex
asthisyear.
