EilU OF BODY IS WEALTH OF HIE
RADWAY'S
mh Resolvent.
Pure blood makes sound flesh, strong bone and a
clear skin. If you would have your flesh firm, your
bones sound without caries, and your complexion
fair, use RADWAY'S SARSAP ARIL-
LI AN RESOLVENT.
A remedy composed of ingredients of extraordi-
nary medical properties essential to purify, heal,
repair and invigorate the broken-down and wasted
body—QUICK, PLEASANT, SAFE and PERMA-
NENT in its treatment and cure.
No matter by what name the complaint may be
designated, whether it be Scrofula, Consumption,
Syphilis. Ulcers, Sores, Tumors. Boils, Erysipelas,
or Salt-Rheum, diseases of the Lungs, Kiineys,
Bladder, Womb, Skiu, Liver, Stomach or Bowels,
either chronic or constitutional, the virus of the
disease is in the BLOOD wMch supplies the waste,
and builds and repairs those organs and wasted
tissues of the system. If the blood is unhealthy,
I the process of repair must be unsound.
Tlie Sarsaparilllan Resolvent not only is
a compensating remedy, but secures the harmoni-
ous action of each of the organs. It establishes
throughout the entire system functional harmony,
aud sudplies the blood-vessels with a pure and
healthy current of new life. The skin, alter a few
days use of the Sarsaparillian. becomes clear and
beautiful. Pimples, Blotches, Black Spots and Skin

Diseases of the Eyes, Mourh, Eai-s, Legs, Throat
and Glands, that "have accumulated and spread,
either from uncured diseases or mercury, or from
, the use of Corrosive Sublimate, may rely von a
! cure if the Sarsaparillian is continued a sufficient
I time to make its impression on the system.

Business Dull—Prices Steady and Un-
cliaiiged—Tlie Cotton Msrkitj Etc.
Nrws Office, October 26.—Business was quiet
and dull to-day in about all lines, while prices are
without change The weather was generally disa-
greeable, but not bad enough to seriously interfere
with the movement of goods, though it is hard on
fruits and most kinds of produce. Merchants gen-
era'ly are looking forward to cold weather, and ex-
pect a better business in all lines as soon as it sets
in. Stocks generally are well up to the wants of
the present and immediate future, and the coming
months are looked forward to with confidence by
all classes of business men.
Cotton was weak and lower as a rule to-day.
At Liverpool spot was active and firmer, but fu-
tures closed weak and l-16@>£d. lower. At New

futures closed steady but 8@5 points lower. At
New Orleans spot closed quiet at a decline of ^c.,

quiet and the latter firm. Norfolk was quiet at a
decline of 1-16c. Augusta closed quiet at a decline
of l-16c. Other spot markets were unchanged.

tions.

PORK PACKING IN THE WEST.
The Cincinnati Price Current, of October 20,
says:
The recent heavy rains In the Northwest have
made the roads impracticable for driving hogs in
many localities, and mainly to this is attributable
the lighter receipts of liogs in Chicago,where there
is a material falling off in the packing for the week,
so th^t the aggregate at all points is below last
nd considerably below the corresponding

was
more favorable for packing opera-
tions at nearly all points, but even then ho#s came
to market faster than they were wanted, and prices
decliued 15(^20c. per 100 fc>s. in Chicago, and 30c. i
this city, although the rates then current were
$1 60(pil 80 per 100 ft»s. lower ftian now, and there
was then an abundance of low priced corn in the
country to fatten them. The supply of hogs in the
country now is very generallj reported to be large
ly short of last year, and vet the receipts thfc
month, if the roads had been in good condition,
would have equaled, if they did not exceed, those
of the corresponding month last year:
Two or three of our winter packers have pro
cured ic« and commenced packing operations on a
moderate scale, not so much with the expectation
of reaping any considerable profit, as to have
meatjof their own cure for tne early trade, for
stocks are practically exhausted here of everything
except a moderate amount of summer-cured pro-
duct.
Our returns indicate that the packing for the
week amounts to 140,000, against 175,000 last week,
and 175,000 for rhe corresponding week last year,
making the total since March 1 to date 4,345,000,
against 4,875,000 for the corresponding: time last
year, showing a decrease of 530,000 in the number
packed this season.

TO THE TRADE.
1 am. in receipt of very large shipments
of Fresh Groceries bought from manufac-
turers and packers for cashy and shipped
under special freight advantages.
By comparing my prices with those of
other marketsy and considering the saving
in freight, you will see how great are the
inducements I offer.
tiy reason of its shipping advantages
through the competitive action of the nu-
merous transportation lines centering
here, this has become the Best Grocery and
Cotton Market in the Statef which fact I
can demonstrate whenever an opportunity
is given me.
Your orders for Groceries and ship-
ments of Cotton are respectfully solicited.

Raisins Geese In tlie South.
iNew Orleans Picayune.]
Since last spring we have almost daily had
I opportunities to observe the habits of geese,
and have come to the conclusion that they
should be extensively raised in the South. The
small flock on which our observations have
been made has gone through the drouth of
four months or more, with no food only the
grass and herbage they have collected in a pas-
ture- -they have sometimes been days without
water—they have received no attention what-
ever. except for a few weeks in the hatching
season, and they are now healthy and strong
and game, the most self-reliant and indepen-
dent creatures on the farm. They
march off in the morning to the pasture like
sheep, ramble Jduring the day, frequently
more than naif a mile from home,
I and at sundown they are always seen march-
ing up to the barnyard and take lodging with
I the cattle, sheep and hogs. They are sys-
| tematic in all things, brave, at times noisy,
! and the young take care of themselves after
the gosling period passes. They are good
mothers and good fathers, good husbands and
' wives. There is neither bigamy nor polygam;
| among them. They are tough and healthy
I while living and the oldest of them are tougl
; after death. A good goose should raise from
I six to a dozen goslings yr-n'-ly, and furnish
| cents worth of feathe; besides, and the
ganders should furnish featnti* of|the value of
50 cents or more. A little feeding in winter is
all that is needed. Grass is their principal
I food.

The End of tfae Liverpool Cotton
44 Corner."
[From the London Graphic.!
The "corner" came to an end on Friday,
the 30th ultimo, the last day for completing
contracts of September delivery. The Liver-
pool Exchange flags was the scene of great ex-
citement. Brokers, merchants, spinners and
others ^connected with the trade seemed to
have all assembled there to witness or take
part in the closing incidents.
The foundations of the late exceptional state
of things were laid in May last. The cotton
ftiarket was then unduly depressed by excessive,
not to say sensational, estimates of future
supply. Prices had rapidly declined from
G%d. in January to 5^a. in May, and jthe
almost universal opinion was - that the fall
would not stop short of 5%d. Indeed,
May deliveries actually touched 5%d. Part of
the decline was the natural result of the en-
larged crop estimates occasioned by the heavy
receipts at the American ports; but the greater
part was the outcome of persistent bear"
selling, encouraged by the success which had
attended previous operations of the same kind,
and aided by exaggerated estimates of the
crop then just planted. Statistics were pub-
lished showing an enormous accumulation of
stocks at the close of the season, to be followed
by a new crop of seven million bales or more.
Even eight millions was considered
within the range of possibility! The
;hot was that the market was com-
pletely demoralized. The holders of bona-flde
cotton (financially weakened by the undue de-
] >ression in values) were compelled to sacrifice
heir stocks at the price dictated by the sellers
of cotton which did not exist, and in the
struggle several of them became bankrupts.
Those operators who had predicted the fall
prided themselves on their superior judgment,
uhe temporary success blinding them to the
fact that the decline was mainly the result not
of the action of legitimate supply and demand,
but of their own illegitimate selling of fic-
titious cotton, and of their own hallucina-
tions as to the probable future of stocks
anfi consumption. Manchester, always
eager to credit statements which point to
decline in the price of cotton, became
an easy victim to the prevailing delusion as
to what was the normal price of the article;
and for a while most people both in Liverpool
and in the manufacturing districts were suf-
fering from 5>£d. on the brain. So widespread
and deep-rooted was the notion that thi s price
would be witnessed in the autumn, if not be-
fore, that the 44 bears " in Liverpool sold eager-
ly and largely of 44 futures " at 5^d. to Od.;
while spinners, anxious to have a share in the
spoils of the new El Dorado, not only sold
arn for forward delivery without covering,
iut also 44 beared" the raw material. While
all this was going on, one operator alone had
the wisdom to grasp the true facts of the situa-
tion, and the power to resist the prevailing
lunacy. The operator was Mr. Morris
Ranger. He was a large loser
by the depreciation in values brought about by
the conduct of the bears. He saw that the de-
pression was artificial and temporary, and that
sooner or later a sharp reaction was inevitable.
Therefore, when every one was seiling he
bought, and so anxious were the bears to sell,
that he obtained an emormous quantity of cot-
ton for forward delivery without materially
raising the price. Large as were his transac-
tions, they were done in the open day. So pub-
lic were they indeed that the opinion was fre-
quently expressed that it was doubtful whether
ne would be able to meet his engagements;
and some of the men who sold what they
had not got, professed to be afraid that
they would not get the profit which they ex-
pected to make out of the transactions. The
large operator, however, it is evident, had
fully calculated the extent of his financial
abilities. As time went on the 41 bears"
gradually awoke from their dream of fancied
security to find themselves in a position of ex-
treme danger. They began to purchase
against their contracts. The moment they did
this prices naturally began to advance. All the
cotton that could be scraped "together,
amounting to something like 100,000 bales,
was declared on the 1st of August (August-
September being the position chiefly pur-
chased by Mr. Ranger). But to the sur-
prise of the 44 bears " every bale was taken up
and paid for. There was then a pause, but only
to be followed by a renewed advance. Then
followed the outburst of virtuous indignation
against th^ 44 corner," which had closed the
mills of Lancashire, and thrown the 44 poor
operative" out of employment. As a matter
or fact there appears to have been no corner
at all as respects the bona-tide consumer. All
along the large operator has sold freely to spin-
ners at a lower price thau the value of 44 con
tracts." But of course he refused to sell to
speculators who had sold what they had not
got, because if he had done so the cotton would
have been declared back to him. There seems
to have been no desire on his part to corner
spinners; on the contrary, it was to his inter-
est not to corner, but he was compelled in
self-defense to 44 corner the speculator ; and if
that speculator happened also to bo a spinner it
seems to us he was well served, inasmuch as he
should have kept to his legitimate business of
producing yarn, and not 44 bearing " cotton.
That the spinner is not actually 44 cornered " is
evident from the utter breakdown of the 44 short
time" movement The spinners who were
making the greatest noise wrere those who
would not buy cotton when it was cheap, or
who sold it when they ought to have bought.
Let the operatives look into this. They will
find that if any mischief has arisen it lies not
at the door of the operator who bought cotton
when it was cheap, and paid for it when it
was delivered, but at the doors of the gam-
blers who sold what they did not possess, and
who have thereby been caught in their own
trap.
Tlie Supply of Wool*
[From the Textile Record.]
Assuming the consumption of wool in the
United States to be approximately 300,000,000
pounds for the year, there will be required, for
ten weeks to the end of December, at 5,000,000
pounds as the minimum, 50,000,000 pounds;
and for five months and a half from January
to June, say twenty-two weeks, 110,000,000—
or altogether about 100,000,000 pounds before
the next regular clip can be relied upon to fur-
nish anv considerable amount. In this calcu-
lation the domestic supply is taken at 250,000,-
000, and the imports at 50,000,000, making the
total 300,000,000 pounds, as stated. In fact,
these quantities are all too low rather than too
high, but this is not material to our present
purpose.
Where is this supply of 160,000,000 pounds of
domestic wool to come from ? If the fail clip
in California may be supposed to furnish 15,-
000,000, and the fall clip of Texas and New
Mexico 10,000,000 more, there may be 25,000,-
000 pounds of new wool from these sources,
but the remainder of the large quantity de-
manded must come from the reserves or stock
in the hands of growers and dealers. The
most careful inquiry fails to show any
adequate quantity held in reserve, and
waiting on the market. It is estimated by
those who have made the most thorough in-
quiry that not more than 45,000,000 pounds of
wool are held back in the ooimtry districts by
farmers and dealers of the interior, and of this
quantity onlv one-hs If has been identified as
being actually reported; it being assumed that
not more than this known quantity can be held
by those who, for one reason or another, do
not choose to make report. To this there
might be added something for stocks in the
extreme We9t and California, but, ou the other
hand, it is not possible that any condition of
the market will bring forward all this reserve
quantity.
Next to be considered is the stock in hand3
of Eastern dealers, a stock supposed to be
large, but in fact very much reduced by the
heavy sales of a month past, and now really
lighter than usual. The best estimates make
the total of these holdings not over 60,000,000
pounds, distributed as follows: Philadelphia
10.000,000, New York 10,000,000, Boston 30,-
000,000, Hartford 5,000,000, Providence, Trov
and Albany 5.000,000—in all 00,000,000
pounds. Estimates in detail mteht vary,
but the total quantity is likely to be
less rather than more than is here assumed.
Of course this is domestic wool only. The
holdings of foreign are not large since the re-
cent sales, and there is at present but a small
current importation. We are assuming an
importat on of 50,000,000 for the year, to sup-
ply the current consumption, which quantity
is certain to be taken; but whether it shall be
twice as much, or not, depends upon the man-
SJIEJS1* ALXD WOOL.
Goliad Guard: Mr. A. McKinney recently
sold about 2000 head of sheep at $2 50 per
head.
The Cuero Bulletin reports rates of wool in
that town at from 20 to 23%c per pound.
Mason News-Item: Mr. J. P. Hodgson, a
prominent sheep owner of Tom Green county,
who has about 8000 head of fine sheep on the
Middle Concho, called at the News Item office
yesterday. He informs us that sheep are
doing well in this county, though there
are several flocks infected with scab,
and it is very difficult to keep the county en-
tirely free from it. Stock and sheep-owners
have suffered considerable loss from prairie
fires, Mr. Hodgson himself having by this
means lost grass 011 his range sufficient to have
wintered 10,000 sheep....Mr. Hoskins, of the
firm of Melville & Hoskins. sheep-raisers of
McCulloch county, called at our office on Tues-
day and gave a good account of the sheep in-
terest in that county. Sheep are fat and the
range is in fee condition. Messrs. M. & H.
have about 5000 head on their i*ange in the
southwestern portion of McCulloch. Mr. Hos-
kins is a scab inspector. He lias appointed
deputies in different parts of McCulloch coun-
ty. and is determined to prevent and crush out
this enemy of sheep and sheep-owners.
Bandera Bugle: Shearing has been greatly
retarded by the rains. Many flocks in the
county remain half shorn, and the owners are
consequently grumbling loud and long Mr.
J. B. Davenport, ono of the most successful
sheepmen of our section, declares, after long
and careful observation, that the Merino is the
only sheep suited to the climate of Texas. His
recent examination of the Southdown and
Cots wold thoroughbred flocks in Pennsylva-
nia, has only tended to strengthen him in this
opinion.... It is remarkable that not-
withstanding the fact that Texas
is rapidly becoming the greatest sheep country
in the world, the sheep dog is almost unknown.
In every other country where sheep are suc-
cessfully raised, a well-trained dog is consid-
ered an indispensable aid to the shepherd. .The
dog would be found invaluable in brushy and
broken country, and the good results of their
general use in Texas can not be estimated..
There would be far fewer sheep lost on the
prairie, and fewer from the attacks of wild an-
imals.

Pleasanton Monitor, October 23: Judge rL

north-
a true veiiL four feet thick, of the same forma-
tion at a aepth of fifty feet, co"ursing north-
west and southeast, situated on the San An*
agement of the domestic supply.
There is, therefore, a total of 130.000,000
pounds available from the sources indicated
for the supply of manufacturing demands
from the present time to June next, with a
probable demand for 160,000,000 pounds. As
modifications of these figures, the supply of
pulled wool, say 15,000,000 pounds, comes in on
one side, and on the other an abatement for
stock to be held at the date assumed for the
next crop to come in. Probably one wiU bal-
ance the other. And there is also a possible
irregularity of demand, by which the mills
may be held back for two or three weeks' con-
sumption. Their stocks are now generally
full, yet they have all along, or for the past
eight months, run very close, and have held
less in stock than usual in former years.
It will be seen from this calculation that, if
the domestic wool of the country is furnished
freely to the market and sold at fair prices,
the course of business will continue favorable
for all concerned, but if the wool is withheld,
and prices forced up to high figures, there may
be an importation of 50,000,000 pounds to break
the market and obstruct trade precisely as was
done eighteen months ago. A moderate ad-
vance above present prices would bring in
Australian wools in large quantities, com-
peting directly with the fleece wools of
Ohio and Michigan. It is not a long time since
this course of trade was the occasion for the
importation of 135,000,000 pounds of wool in
one year's timej much of which was sold at a
loss by speculative importers or holders, and
at the sams time very large quantities of do-
mestic wool were sold at a loss, with no corre-
sponding benefit to any interest. The same
result can be attained now by a general at-
tempt of wool-holdei-s to sit down 011 the stocks
they hold. On the other hand, the present de-
mand can be met profitably, if met freely, and
the state of prices can be made as favorable in
June next as at the present time.
Steam in Agriculture.
It is a rather remarkable fact that, beyond
its application to the threshing of grain, steam
power has been comparatively valueless upon
American farms, if we except the limited usf
that has been made of the English system of
plowing by steam on two or three sugar plan-
tations in Louisiana. It is conceded, however,
that this system can never be extensively in-
troduced here, for reasons that need not now
be discussed. Many efforts have been made
by American inventors to produce a traction
engine that should move over the ground and
at the same time furnish sufficient ad-
ditional power to draw a gang of plows, or
other device for turning and preparing the
soil for crops. Thus, Mr. J. W. Fawkes, of
Pennsylvania, came to Illinois in 1858, with an
engine so mounted that not only himself, but
many experienced engineers and farmers
firmly believed that the successful application
of steam to land culture had been accomplish-
ed. A trial at the State Fair at Centralia, in
1858, confirmed this belief. The ground upon
which the plow was tried was dry aud hard,
and it accomplished its work admirabl3r. The
next year at Decatur, where the ground was
moist and the sloughs soft, the traction
44 drum" mired and failed. The next
year, at Freeporfc, but little better success
followed, though the piow was awarded a
prize of $34HJ0, offered jointly by tlie State
society and the Illinois Central Railroad
Company. An unsuccessful attempt or two
in the field ended tlie career of this promising
invention. Then came Waters, liurridge,
Parvin and others, ail working in the same
direction—the traction engine—and each as
signally failed. Since Parvin the public has
heard little of plowing by steam, tut, notwith-
standing these repeated failures, inventors
have been at w. rk. One that we know of has
a full-sized machine nearly completed. Others
have not got beyond their models, there to rest
until capital can tie interested. A very prom-
ising model as it seems to us, has recently been
shown us bv Mr. C. H. Wood, of Chicago.
It is really a truck, or wagon, to carry the
weight of the boiler, engine, etc., iu such a
way that the load is distributed over a large
surface—forty square feet of flat surface
being in contact with the ground at all times.
The ingenious arrangement of two chains, con-
nected together by braces, forms a regular
truss wl^en extended in a straight line, and
yet has flexibility in one direction, so as to
bend around the wheels of the truck. Several
such compound chains are employed, and
strong planks are secured to and across them,
and the whole is stretched around the wheels of
the two axles of the truck, and revolves in a
manner similar to tlie motion of the tread-plank
in an endless-tread horse-power. The arrange-
ment constitutes a rigid plane or truss-bridge,
upon which "the wheels travel and are sup-
ported at all times. There is a demand for a
steam piow, especially on the great fields of
the Northwest and Southwest. And it is ap-
parent t®at the engine that can accomplish
plowing may bo put to numerous other uses,
so that whoever succeeds in this has done a
great work for the industrial world. It will be
gratifying to know that Mr. Wood has put a
working machine in the field.
What May be Done In tlie South.
INew Orleans Picayune.l
The Southern States furnish nutritious sum-
mer and winter grasses which hogs feed upon
with a fine relish, and here we may have hog
pastures the year round. Here also we can
niaa •quantities of field peas, sweet potatoes,
pinda*^, chufas, artichokes, and several other
cropr' jvhich hogs are fond of, and we may
them maturing from July to October, ready
for fattening hogs at the very season we most
need them. can maks cheap pork without
any corn, but we must select our grasses, pre-
pare our pastures, pitch the right kind of
crops, and carry the whole system through
properly from beginning to end, or we may
make a failure. The cheap, slipshod, 11 no
trouble " plan will not do.

Diversity of Crops.
Will. N. Wallis, Experimental Farm, Mc-
Kinney, Texas: There is no laudable excuse
for not diversifying crops in the South, because
soil, climate and temperature are all that can
lie asked, except in case of drouth, and then
the one who has the greatest number of crops
has, in proportion, the greatest number of
chances to bridge over the chasm and profit
by the calamity. For instance, the farmer
who sows wheat, barley, rye and oats in early
autumn, has the benefit of the pasture,
which often is worth more than the
grain when harvested, especially if that farmer
has stock to utilize, this growth produced by
mature recuperation. When the drouth
pounces down upon these corn and cotton spe-
cialists, there is a 44 howl in Rome," and the
gauge they are measured by has a prefix mOrt
meaning death as of yore; in other words, he
would be an unsuccessful commander who de-
pended solely upon the efforts of one of
his favorite officers, however well
he might execute his part. So in
arming. He who studios to meet
the obstacles is theone who surmounts them
easier, and drouth is a formidable adversary
to co])© with, however well we may be pre-
pared. The farmer who diversities his plant
ing is prepared to carry stock of every descrip-
tion—hogs from which to make his own bacon,
by feeding more or less waste; cows to furnish
him delicious milk, not chalked, from which
pure butter can be made, despite the low
price of oleomagarine; sheep to nip the green
pastures and furnish mutton and necessities
of warmth; horses and mules to furnish the
motive powers on the farm, without buying
every season from drovers %4up north," ai
though it is claimed that such stock are of but
little profit and a great deal of trouble, still it
is noticeable that those who raise their own
grain, stock aud supplies, are the most inde
pendent and prosperous of our class, and that
feature is one for which we are striving,
and striving hard, too, under adverse circum
stances, with drouth and pestiferous insects
to contend with in the bargain. We will in-
stance the item of oats, a crop that has hereto-
fore been made to occupt* a fourth or fifth
place in magnitude on the farm, while to-day,
had it not bean for this crop, our State, as well
as some others, would hare been sorely tried
for feed, yet iu the very face of these facts
men assert that nothing can be made from
raising small grain—nothing at all. Oats C0<O{
65 cents per bushel and wheat at $1 50 per
bushel, if nothing is made outright, truly some
thing is saved, and a penny saved is two pence
made.
Agricultural Colleges.
Colorado Agricultural College opened last
Monday with forty-five students, and with a
good prospect of many more. Our farm con-
tains 240 acres, forty of which are cultivated
alone to test seeds and crops of every descrip-
tion. The students are required to work from
two to four hours daily, for which they receive
10 cents per hour. The course of * study is
about the same, so far as text books are con-
cerned, as other colleges, but the lecture system
and labor system differ materially. It is my
intention, so soon as F am through visiting our
fairs, to do some writing for the Review. I
am very much pleased with the paper.
I have already attended the State fair
and two others with my collection of
ninety-five varieties of wheat in
sheaf and shelled grain and over 100 kinds of
grasses. At the State fair $500 was jffered
for the collection to go to the Cincinnati Exposi-
tion. The offer was refused, for the collection
is indispensable to the college, as it can not be
duplicated. I took the Rural New Yorker
first premium on wheat, being ahead of every
competitor by fifteen grains avoirdupois on
the average head. My Hybrid (No. 10) I
think the finest wheat ever seei^ It is a cross

Crass for Hogs.
New Orleans Picayune: Since the close In-
vestigations in the" West in regard to hog
cholera and other swine diseases, the farmers
are making more use of pastures and grasses
for hogs than formerly, and they find that
these animals are mucn more healthy when
fed more on clover and timothy and other
grasses. Filth, bad water and bad treatment
caused much of the disease among hogs, and
good water and clean and rich grasses are not
only found to be more conducive to health
than the old bill of fare, but they can make
cheaper pork and lard from their hogs and pas-
tured than by stuffing the hogs with corn in
filthy pens. The rule now is w ith those who
follow the latest and liest lights on hog dis-
eases and pork making to let the hogs feed 011
grass alone until fall and then fatten on corn.
They make bone, muscle and bulk on grass and
finish up with corn.
A mule with artificial ears was an attrac-
tion at Knoxvifle, Tennessee, the other day.
The Chronicle says the old kicker had the mis-
fortune to be raised in a North Carolina famil\-,
in which a feud existed, and the spite of one
party against the other* was visited upon the
innocent brute, by clipping his ears close to
his head. The artificial ears were made of
calf-skin, crisped in the shape of natural ones,
and so attached to the bridle as to flap quito

The James ranch has been sold to John A.
Millar, of Wilson county, for $3 per acre. The
tract is one of the finest in the county, situ-
ated as it is on Bandera Creek, about a mile
below town. There are 3700 acres in it, and
the land is well worth the money paid.

M'LENNAN.
Waco Telephone: On Saturday evening Mr.
Lewis Powell, who lives up the river a few
miles, came to town and had two colored men,
Bill Johnson aud Fillmore Williams, arrested
for alleged trespass. The two men were ar-
rested and iailed by the sheriff and his depu-
ties. Late Saturday night Johnson gave bail,
aud started for home just before midnight.
Between 1 and 2 o'clock a. m., Sunday, a large
rick of millet belonging to Mr. Powell was
discovered ou fire, and in a short time was
entirely consumed. Suspicion pointed to
Johnson as being the party who fired the
rick, and Mr. Powell came to town and
had him rearrested on the charge of arson.
It is claimed that there is the strongest
kind ofjcircumstantial evidence against John-
son. When ho went to his house he pulled up
a cedar stake, placed it upon the fire and al-
lowed it to burn in two. Then it is claimed
that he took one portion of the stick, mounted
his horse and rode in the direction of the rick,
the tracks being visible in the wet earth. Along
the course to the rick were also seen einders
which snapped off from the burning cedar
stick. It was placed at the end of the rick at
which the wind would fan it, and as soon as
the millet burned away from it, the fire on
the stick went out on account of it lying on
the damp grouud. The stick was found there
Sunday morning, and those who saw it say it
is undoubtedly the other end of the stick found
in the fire-place in Johnson's house. He is
now in jail.
