of about iqoo; while in Wise county
they were badly defeated.
J. D. Farden the cashier of Adams
Express company and J. R. Barneti
dty ticket agent of the Vandalia have
disappeared. They literally cleaned
the office of the entire day's receipts
about $4tooo. The affair has caused
an intense sensation at Terre Haute.
Every subsequent cotton report in-
creases the reduction in this year'
jTeld of the immediately preceding es
timate. The latest report by the de-
partment of agriculture shows a decline
.from the August condition of the crop
.of 776 to 70S which is the lowest
.condition of the staple since 1SS1.
The south is all right remarks the
commercial Appeal. During the last
three months the organization of sev.
enty-seven new cotton mills enterprises
was reported. They may riot all be
built but it is patent that the south
has concluded to spin her cotton as
well as to raise it.
It is reported that Judge Hurt has
Tttpssted his associates. Judges David-
son and Henderson to sit with him

In a Washington special dated Sept.
10 Senator Mills is represented as
announcing himself in tavor of William
Morrison of Illinois for the democratic
nominee for the presidency next year.
He extolls Morrison says the special
and says that he believes with such a
man as he the democracy can win in
the next election.
' Senator Roger Q Mills in a lengthy
letter just published in the daily papers
defines his position on the financial
question. He takes the ground that
free silver would be bad for the country
still he would be willing to endorse it 1
the next state democratic convention
made it the tocsin of the party which
he represents in the senate.
A new edible grain is said to have
been discovcied in Russell county
Ala. and the discovery savs a'Mont
gomery special is apt to produce a
good deal more than Ordinary interest
Not in. the history of cjvihxed roan it
is stated has a single eiblc grain been
discovered. The cereals wc now use
are as old as the human race. The
new cereal is found .on the tops of
What appears to be' ordinary fishing
pole cane.. These canes are found to
be loaded down with grain correspond
ing in shape and taste with oats but
considerably larger. The grain is
said to be exceedingly pleasant fj the
taste and is preferred by horseS to
either corn or oats. Hogs ond chick-
ens fatten on it rapidly. No bread
has been made of it as yet but there
is no doubt but that it would make a
palatable nutritious bread although
perhaps a little dark in color.
The Texas Siock and Farrn Journal
thus notes the presence of Mr. J. H.
Paramore in Fort Worth en route to
the Nation last week:
J. H. Parramore of Abilene was
here Monday on his way to the Nation
from where he will ship cattle to mar-
ket. He is putting up a great deal of
sorghum on his ranch near Abilene
three hundred tons of which he will
put into an open air silo as he is con-
vinced that they will do well. He has
not put up any frame work in order to
facilitate the tramping in of the sor-
ghum nor is he using sail water as
recommended by those who have
made a success of saving sorghum this
way. He said: "I am satisfied that
the natural weight of the sorghum will
pack ft so tight that nothing will pene-
trate into the stack. I had never
seen one of these open air silos put up.
and concluded from my observation
that the plan would be a success and
had already started on one when 1
read what the Journal had to say in the
matter aad'now I know the thing is
all right."
The El Paso Herald in a late issue
.thus vividl) and scathingly portrays
the iniquities and blithing effect of
gambling;
Gambling is the bane of civilization.
It is an incubus on honest and produc-
tive labor. It is a social cancer. It
incites.alike its devotees and its vic-
tims to crime. It is essentially dis-
honest. It is demoralizing and de-
basing. It has never built a town but
has plundered many. It has never
inaugurated a productive industry but
has ruined tbonsands. It has never
contributed anything to arts and
sciences. It has done nothing bene
ficial to the human race AH Us
achievements have been in the direc-
tion of vice and crime. Studied in the
light ot its bloody and blighting
history it is a mobster of the most hid-
eous mien and it is high time that every
honest man's hand were turned against
it. Let it no longer be said that El
Faso depends for its bread upon what
its profess'Onal gamblers with their de-
ceptive devices steal from the unwary
who visit our otherwise far famed city.
It is a stigma upon every man woman
and child in the city.
The San Antonio Lght evidently
thinks that the Fort Worth Gizette is
needlessly apprehensive as to the
buoyancy of the Courier Journal
The Light says:
"The anxious inquirer in the sanc-
tum of the Fort Worth Gizttt calls for
a plank for the benefit of the Louis-
-ville Courier Journals The Gjzett
man is needlessly firightened Walter-
son can keep his own head above
water where the G zett cannot keep
afloat on a bladder"

The Chicago Herald in an able rind
elaborate article in reference to the
above meeting say!
The meeting of the fourth national
irrigation congress at Albuquerque N
Mi fi'om Sept 16 to ao will be of in"
terest to the people of the: entire west.
Men who have made the science of
irrigation a study for a life-time wtil
attend from all sections of the United
States "while noted jrrigationists from
old Mexico will be there to give testi-
mony and encouragement to the men
who seek to reclaim arid America.
Outside of the people who are inter-
ested in the arid reg'ion of the- UnJted
States the meeting will attract very
little attention. It is however a great
movement and means much for the
entire country. And America em-
braces 1000000000 acres. Of this
vast area it it estimated that ico.ooo-
000 may be irrigated with the avail-
able water supply and this rcclaimable
area is estimated to be capable of sus-
taining directly and indirectly three
times the present population of the
Union or 210.000000 people.
The Terrell school board has
adopted riles prohibiting the use of
cigaretts by the pupils making it the
duty Ot the teacher to send the "pupil
home upon committing the first offense;
but upon the co-operation of. the par-i
enU with the teacher he will be al-
lowed to return the same day For
the second offense the pupil will be
scot home and. suspended until the
regular meeting of the board whenthey
will act Upon his readmijjion and for
the third offense he is cut off entirely
from the school. Tins ii a good rule
.and should be adopted by every school
board in the land. For if the boys of
thUo?uitry are to be converted Into
cigarette funds Jibe schools certainly
thould not be permittee to become the

Cleveland and Carlisle Endorsed.
At the recently seventh annual gen-
eral assembly of democratic societies of
Pennsylvania a resolution was adopted
congratulating the people on the gen-
eral prosperity of the country and the
revival of trade as a result of demo-
cratic measures declaring that the late
depression was due to the Shermai
silver law and the McKinley tariff law
and that industries have been revived
by the. .WHsou. bill. The .resolution
also reaffirms ihe platforms ol the late
state and national democratic conven-
tion and especially favors tariff reform
and sound money The platform ex-
presses confidence in the wisdom and
patriotism of President Clevelaud and
'our great secretary of the treasury
John G. Carlisle." This is irf line
with expressions from Ohio Iowa
Kentucky and Nebraska."
The lesolutions adopted recently by
the sound money democrats of Nebras-
ka are especially emphatic in their ex-
pressions r.f commendation and. ap-
proval of President Cleveland' finan
cial policy and says the News '-It
may well be gratifying to Mr Cleve-
land Mr Carlisle and others who have
dared to face the storm to read such
evidences of ffif relation and approval.
The tide is turning and promises in
due course of time to leave quite a
horde of graceless deserters high and

Independent Investigation of the
Cheng Tu Riots.
Acc?rdiug to late Washington advices
authoritatively announced at the state
department of the United States govern-
ment has decided to enter forthwith up-
on an independent investigation of the
Cheng Tu riots with the co-operation
of a Chinese representative. As was
first arranged the investigation was to
have been made in co-operation with
England but there has been a change
of plan within the past few days occa-
sioned partly by the (act that the British
consul at Chung King who is to con-
duct the investigation on behalf of his
government and to whom the concur-
rence of an American missionary
member it was first proposed to have
a primary investigation of the facts
has been detained at his post it is
said will not be able to begin the in-
quiry for a month or more.
There are also understood to be
other reasons why the state depart-
ment has decided upon independent
investigation such as" France has al-
ready made and such as England will
make .later. It is said at the state de-
partment that it is not true however
as has been represented that the policv
of this government has been changed
by any feeling of dissatisfaction or resentment-
caused by whatever appar-
ent delay has supervened on England's
part in proceeding with the inquiry.
The department has other reasons
which it is not prepared to make pub-
lic at present.
" China is expected to lend her sup
port to the American inquiry to the ex-
tent of supplying an escort to the per-
sons who will conduct it but who have
not yet been designated and who will
probably furnish an official who will
cO operate with the American investi-
gator as in the Ku Cheng investiga-
tion. The investigation is expected to
be made by some official how on the
Chinese coast. It will probably take
a month to reach Cheng Tu which is
the capital of the interior province of
Szechuan and lies some 1 500 miles
from the nearest acean port.

Trunk Mystery Explained.
A dispatch was received by Special
Agent E. 0 Eames 6f Union Stntlpn
Friday night sent by Conductor Cor-
rigan of the Missouri Pacific train
from Pacific Mo. warning him to look
out for two suspicious pieces of bag
gage checked from Dallas Tex. to
Chicago g:ving forth an odor of decay-
ing bodies. Corrl$an suspecls foul
play. Detectives Steele and Jackson
boarded the train at Vandeventcr Ave-
nue Siation and arrested the owners
of the trunks who gave their name as
H. Hathaway and T JoncsVof Abilene
Texas. At Uuiort station the trunks
were opened and tt was discovered
that one of them contained about ten
li ve snakes and the other the remains
of ten dead ones.
Hathaway stated that he was a
snake charmer and was taking the
snakes to Chicago 'where he meant to
exhibit them. Both men wercreleased
The above clipped from a St. Louis
paper shows that the snake business
gets Hathaway luto deep water where-
ever he goes ..
Thanks.
Mr and Mrs Fasshauer desire to re-
turn hearty thanks to the good people
of Abilene for the kind regard and re-
spect universally shown them during
their brief stay in the city. Especially
do they feel grateful for the large atten-
dance of Abilene's best people at their
wedding Wednesday morning at the
Catholic church as well as to the choir
for the excellent music rendered and
all others who in any way contributed
to the interest and grandeaur of the
occasion. Altogether the imposing
wedding ceremonies at the church the
large and cultured audience present
the fine reception at Mr Heyck's in
the afternoon was a revelation to the
entire touring party in regard of which
they could not find words to express
the full extent of their grateful acknow-
ledgements and appreciation. The
event they repeatedly avowed would
ever remain one of fondest remem-
brance in the future career of (heir lives.
As to Texas Immigration.
Speaking of the clasr. and source of
the immigration into the state of Teas
the Houstan Post says that thus far it
lias been principally from the older
southern states each contributing its
quota about in the following- order:
Georgia Alabama Mississippi Ten-
nessee Missouri Arkansas Virginia
Kentucky JSouthCarolina' Louisiana
Florida and Maryland. Jlut very few
however have come to Texas to locate
from the three last states mentioned.
More people from the northwestern
states have settled in north Texas than
in all tlie rest of the state. Of late
those on the coast outside of Qal.
veston have come principally from
the oorthwest. Many Gstman immi
grants are to be found in all of our large
tovns but the German Lumen are
principally located in the southwest.
Those who came from the timbered re-
gions in the older states have preferred
that class of lands here. Hence the
bulk of them have located in eastern
Texas and other timbered sections
which they have prefered to the prai-
ries. With good timber and toft water
outweigh all other advantages. Of late
Swedes and Hollanders: are coming
into Texas. They are locating in
colonies. See Germans in Texaa out-
utuubcr all other foreigner! coaabimd.
