A Locomotive Dies In the Santa Fe Yard
—Passenger Train Detained.
Passenger engine, No. 042, Gulf,
Colorado aud Santa Fe, pulliug No. 2
northbound express, Tuesday blew
out a flue while standing at the tank
oh tho main track—a cloud of steam,
smoke and lire suddenly burst from
tho cab of the engine and in a few
minutes the engine was dead.
It was lucky that the accident hap-
pened when it did, for neither the en-
gineer of fireman wero on it; the
former was on tho ground oiling the
engine, aud tho latter was standing
oil the tender lioldiug tho valve rope
of tho tank letting water into the ten-
der. Had the blow-out occurred
while the men were in the cab both
would have been seriously If not fatal-
ly scalded and burned.
Tho train was compelled to wait un-
til 2 p. in., when freight engine No. 19
was sent up from Sealy to take the
place of No. 042 and carried the pas-
senger on to Temple.
Tho dead engine goes to tho shops
for repairs.
PLEASANT HILL POINTERS.
Pleasant Hill, Tex., July 31.
Editor Banner:
Under the inspiration of the pleas-
ant weather following the big rain of
yesterday, I will write you a few
lines about our thriving little village.
First let mo tell you of the rain. It
was simply glorious, the first we have
had since early in May. But even
the rain we had was not sufficient
to close up all the cracks in the land.
Pleasant Hill is now on a boom,
lvraemer & Tieaden's new store build-
ing is just completed. It is a two
story building. The upper story will
bo used as a public hall for dances
and meetings. William Itodcnbeck's
new gin is about finished.
There was a birthday party at VVil-
iiarn Muegge's residence last night.
He is ^2 years old aud observed the
event by inviting his friends to help
him celebrate. Several of your citi-
zens were present. Tho supper was
excellent.
Sunday, at the residence of William
Kodenbeck tho little baby girl of Ben
Bosso was christened. A number of
invited guests were present.
Thero will bo :v fest and ball hero
next Sunday. The candidates and
citizens generally are invited.
Kev. Traubel, pastor of the Luther-
ail church has resigned his position
and will move to Aruettsville, DeWitt
county. IIo will preach his farewoll
sermon next Suuday.
The crops aro pretty well dried up
on account of tho recent drouth but
wo will make enough to live on.
There is no sickness of consequence
in tho neighborhood.

PERSONAL MENTION.
Mrs. Sam Stone returned Sealy
Monday night.
Dr. G. C. McGregor, ofKenney, was
in tho city Monday.
Mr. E C. Hughes, of Whitman, is

H. Sohleider has gone to St. Louis
on business.

man, is in the city.
Mr. J. A. Jackson was In the city

Miss Mary .Robertson, of Austin, is

Mr. E. J. Neinast, of Long Point,
was here yesterday.
Dr. Joseph Tristram with gun aud
dog has goue to Wallis after prairie
chickens.
Mr. and Mrs. J. 1). Campbell have
returned from the Childers' camp-
meeting.
They Bought Chicken*.
A party of hunters who left here re-
cently for the lower country after
prairie chickens was sighted near
Bellville at a farm house trying to
buy some hawk colored domestic
chickens. They wero very particular
about the color and would have non^i
that were red, white or black.
It is only an inference, but the Ban-
ner surmises that as the hunters are
after prairie chickens, they do not
want any strange leaking feathers
scattered about camp—for of course
there will be visitors to the camp and
it would not be tho proper thing to
find tame feathers where only the
wild variety should be.
A Smash Up.
There was an exhibition of high
kicking on Sandy street in front of the
court house Tuesday morning.
A double team attached to a buggy
was hitched to a telephone post. Both
horses wero apparently half asleep
when a roll of wire fencing fell off" the
sidewalk close by. Both arimals
wero frightened aud began plunging
and kicking. When the dust cleared
away the buggy was a complete
wreck. 1'ho horses and vehicle belong
to F. (!. Schulze.

Wo do not want to be found ex-
agerating or boastkig, but we have
some of the best members iu the State,
and no pastor with the same ability
(or lack of it) ever appreciated such
members more.
Bro. A. W, Mclver, of Caldwell,
worshiped with us Sunday night.
Glad to meet him again.
Bro. W. D. Powell, of Saltillo,
Mexico, was iu town Saturday, the
guest of Mayor Wilkins and family
Bro. Carriugton returned from his
farm tho last of tho woek. If we did
not know better we would think him
a candidate for office; lie is tanned.
Bro. W. E. Clark, of Independence,
was in tho city Monday; he says tho
Independence folks are preparing lor
our coming on tho 17th.
Bro. Becker will hold prayer meet-
ing at the Second (German) Baptist
church next Thursday, let all our
people go that can. He will preach
there next Sunday.
Sister Annie Ralston who is quite
sick, we learn is better to-day.
Tho Ladies Aid Society will meet
on Thursday at 5 p. in. All aro urged
to attend.
The prayer meeting last Wednes-
day night was good aud we hope it
will be better next Wednesday night.
Tho subject to be discussed is whole
heartedness in tho cause of Christ.
Come and bring your friends aud
bibles.
Our Sunday school again passed the
one hundred point. Good, let us sing
that old familiar song, "<io on, go oil,
go on, go on."
The Sunday night service was dis-
missed to hear Mr. Tabor on the
problem of youiifj men; the lecture
was good.
Oursubject for the Suuday 11 o'clock
service was "Religion With Dynamite
In It." Tho Lord was with us while
we discussed it; may He be iu us that
we may possess it.
The Friday night literary was good
in every respect.
The good people ot Independence
will send conveyances for messengers
to the Association who come on the
noon trains Thursday, August Kith.
Since the first of January I have
officiated at oleven funerals aud have
attended others; let that' teach us t»
do with our might what our hand
finds to do.
If everybody knew as well as the
public speaker how much a word of
encouragement is worth, the lack of
demand for critics would cause their
manufacturers to suspend business.
If tho young men of this and the
neighboring towns could seo to the
end of their course we would have
fewer Sunday base ball games, and it
is just as improper to witness them as
to play them. For the sake of tho
country,the church and the home will
the young men of Brenham set a bet-
ter example for the'- neighbors to
go by.
Next Saturday at 10 u. in. is the
time for regulo*- conference meeting.
Brethren aud sisters will try to be
present; we have important business
on hand And need your counsel.
There will be a wedding at|the First
Baptist church at 10:4o a. m. to-day
(Wednesday). The exercises will begin
promptly at 10:15 aud for half an hour
we will have singing, prayer and a 20
minutes talk on courtship and mar-
r iage.
A Giddings correspondent says:

ham yesterday ta attend tho district
convention returned on the noon train
today. Judge Sinks and District At-
torney Maynard wero nominated by
acclamation. They will carry this
county solid, notwithstanding the fact
that there are a good miUiy third party

Chicago, Illinois, July ;u.—
Wheat a weak opening, an early rally
and gradual ease oil, characterized
trading iu this market. Foreign ad-
vices showed but a feeble response to
tho strength yesterday which was
sustained, later dispatches reporting
Liverpool selling. News was again
bearish and everything current had a
depressing effect and it is very plain
that yesterday's strength was purely
sympathetic. Shipments troin India
and sundry ports 2,804,000. A moricau
shipments 1,300,000. Making a total
European wheat supplies for the week
6,164,000. Shipments of wheat from
all countries to Europe season ending
July 31st about 332,000,000 against
325,000,000 tho previous season. Re-
port of another cargo of one hundred
thousand bushels Toledo wheat chart-
ered for Chicago. Northwestern re-
ceipts 370 cars against 185 same time
last year. Receipts at primary points
again foot up nearly 1 1-4 million and
although clearances wero large, aggre-
gating aboutT14,000,'itapparently had
no effect on (he market being more
than offered by Bradstreet's report
showing iucrease in stocks east and
west of the Rockies, 3,100,000 with
decrease of 112,000 in the stocks of
European and afloat. Trading was
largely by professionals, New York,
St. Louis aud Chicago, who sold
freely on tho early advance.
Weather again played a wry im-
portant part iu the corn market.
Rains were reported in Iowa and Ne-
braska, and prices show .i loss of 1; c
to lie at tho opening, but was soon
run up from :]c to lc on buying for
outside account, commission houses
being good buyers on further reports
of g< >d rains. However, from private
sources the market became weak and
gradually declined,losing all its early
advance. A very large cash business
was transacted, about 400,000 bushels
with prices 3 cents under September.
Oats opened weak with prices a shade
off, and on heavy selling by elevator
firms, principally May option; the
market declined, showing a loss at
the close of Jc to lc.
Receipts 801 ears, which were quite
large, overrunning the estimates some
40 cars.
Provisions opened firm but active,
but with no ehauge in prices.
Hogs at the yards were considera-
bly under the estimate and prices
were 5c to 10c higher, there being a
pretty fair shipping demand.
new orleans market.
New Orleans, La., July 31.—The
event of the day was tho publication
of Mr. Neils, report whieu has ap-
parently been known here for some
time already by a great many people.
He expects an acreage of 21,000,000; es-
timates the probable outturn 8,1)00,f00
with the possibility of!),(>00,000 and a
minimum in case of a calamity to the
crop of 8,500,000 bales. He further
estimates the stock in European ports
and mills on Oct. 1st, 1895, at 3,180,000
against 2,000,000 this year. This esti-
mate is based upon a visible supply-
on September 1st, of 2,100,000. A
crop in the United States of 8,1)00,000
aud American consumption of 2,000,-
000 against 2,380,000 this year. We
have no comment to make on these
figures which we leave to tho judg-
ment of our readers, except to express
our opi'iions that it seems tons very
hazardous to publish such estimates
this early ill the season, that a calam-
ity of whatever nature happening to
tills crop might still cut it down to
much less than the minimum named
that with any revival of trade in this
country American spinners might take
much more than 2,000,000 at these or
lower prices in view of tho fact that
they have already taken 2,000,000 iu
1!)92; finally, as far as the estimates of
European stock on Oct. 1st, 1805, aro
concerned present or lower prices may-
upset all calculations of consumption
aud of supply from other sources,
orinclpally, from India. Evidently,
tiowever, this estimate had its efleet
oil the Liverpool market, which was
reduced 3-32 ou spot quotations, and
declined 2 to 3-€4 in futures; influenced
lie~e by our market opened at a de-
cline of 3 to 4 points, lost 3 points
more later on, but recovered all the
decline on shirts covering. Spot sales
here summed up 2050, and 050 to ar-
rive; while New York sold 2,105 bales
of which 1,405 to spinners. Galves-
ton recoived 12 bales ot new cotton,
and Houston 120 bales.
new york mark KT.
New York, July 31—Prediction of
more copious raius iu corn left started
a covering movement in tho grangers
which was still in full swing in clos-
ing hour. The room traders also
shifted their ventures long side of
St. Paul. The recovery in R. I. & B.
<)., was not with long stock Camwaek
brokers did not appear so anxious as
in early hours to cover shorts. Sugar
rallied' feeble on the appearance of
i>ool supporting the Havemeyer
brokers buying back some of i he
stock they had so'.d over 104, whiskey-
was firm and the i>ool of western di-
rectors was credited with accumula-
ting some stock. Manhattan rallied
ji trifle on a withdrawal of the effort*
of the lear party to catch stop orders.
New York, July 31.—Liverpool de-
clined three points aud regained one.
This market lost six ami more than
recovered the loss, some of the im-
provement being due to reports of less
favorable accounts from southwest
Texas, but largely attributable we
think to tho fact that the shorts gen-
erally seemed d'sposed to cover six
and a half cents for August here
meaus a price to the producers that
makes cotton grown a matter of little
profit and yet it mny be that with a
continuance of favorable advices the
lowest prices may not have been
seen. To sell cotton at ruling prices
here is takiug tho chances that there
will be a continuation of all the bear-
ish features that have recently pre'
vailed to bring the market down to its
present level and as many things may-
happen, such as adverse crop reports
a settlement of the tariff and a revival
of business confidence, any one or all
of which might occur iu the next sixty-
days it would seem best that the sea-
son should be a little funher ad-
vanced before attempting to put the
market below the figures touched to-
day. Howover, we must wait upon
Liverpool, as is usually tho case, to
determine whether prices have re-
ceded as much as present crop pros-
pacts warrant. With any encourage-
ment from there we shall improve,
but without their support we shall
have to drag along till we hoar more
favorably from that market. Houston
received 120 bales of new cotton and
Gal vest >u 12 to-day. Port receipts to-
day 800, against 1600 last year.
A correspondent from Kenney
writes : The past few weeks have
been very favorable for cutting hay. A
large amount has been put up by the
farmers and they say it was never
better in yield <>r quality. A light
raiu tell here this morning. We need
a good rain as cotton is suffering.
GOOD COUNTRY ROADS.
Their Importance to Every Business
Community In Texas and the 8outh.
Following is a paper written by
James L. Autry, Esq., president of the
Commercial club of Corsicana, for
Southern Trade:
To my mind there is no subject
which more fittingly engages the
thought and the activities of those
who wish to advance the material wel-
fare of the state than that of the pub-
lic country roads.
It lias been said that the condition
of her public highways a correct esti-
mate may l>o made of the degree
which a country has attained toward
a genuine civilization. It is to be
hoped i'.at Texas will not lie sub-
jected to such a test. Her conditions
and antecedents justify for a time at
least a suspension in her behalf of
this rigorous rule. We are accustomed,
aud very properly so, to commend the
wisdom and foresight ot the fathers of
Texas in providing for, and in a large
measure anticipating the high place
the state has already assumed and is
yet to attain in the scale of modern
progress and advancement. However,
in this all-important matter of public
roads tho sin of omission lies at their
door, for in early legislation there is
practically no provision made for tho
highways.
In the older states the laud lines
surveyed in advance of settlement
were accurately and regularly laid and
declared to be thoroughfares forever,
free and open to the public. In Texas
the survey lines were poorly marked
and wero run iu a most irregular man-
ner, and no provision whatever was
made for any roadways along them.
The result of this is that with the
fencing of the lands and the settle-
ment of the country each land owner
either entirely fenced up the "trails"
across his lauds or else gave his neigh-
bor an "outlet" along the breaks of a
"dugout" or upon other parts of his
laud least, desirable for pasturage or
tilling; and so the conditions as they
now exists are, with rare exceptions,
about as bad as they could be. The
system of working the roads by men
living adjacent is a primitive and in-
efficient one and should be modified if
not wholly abolished. And yet it is
practically the only one provided by
the laws down to this time for the lay-
ing out and keeping in repair the hun-
dreds of miles of winding aud angular
lanes which are our only thorough-
tares. Tho limited taxation allowed
by general law of 15 cents on the $100
for "roads and bridges" barely raise*
money necessary to build and keep
the bridges in repair, leaving practi-
cally nothing for repairing of the
roads proper.
It lias been said that the reason the
farmers of the western states can raise
grain so cheaply is that over their good
roads they can at such small cost of
time and team work take it to the
markets. Transportation, of course,
enters directly and largely into tho
price of produce aud whatever tribute
iu the way of freight is laid upon it
between the producer and tho con-
sumer is practically paid by the former.
This principle is universally admitted
in the matter of railway tariffs, and
yet in respect to them competition and
improved methods have so far re-
duced their rates as that in Texas it
rarely costs more to carry produce
from the railway station to tho con-
sumer than it costs to take it from the
producer to tiie station—all because
of tho bad roads. That something
better than existing conditions is im-
peratively demanded is abundantly
manifest to all thinking people and
already the beginnings have been
made in many of the counties. In
some the labor of county convicts is
successfully utilized, thereby solving
another serious problem. In others
the increasing tax values have so far
swelled the meager "road and bridge"
fund as to afford a small surplus for
the building of a few miles of perma-
nent and first-class roads, such as may-
be traveled by loaded teams everyday
in the year, regardless of the weather.
These roads have met with a universal
favor and are a revelation to many

A Itemarkable
Case.
About two year* ago I was confined to my
room with a breaking out on my let which my
physician pronounced Eczema. About three
weeks apo tiie jwune disease l>roke out again on
the same leg, and my physician has been attend-
ing me regularly, calling from once to twice
daily, the sores all the time getting *orse. A
friend called to see me, and brought about
ono half teaspoonful of CtTictRA, advising
me to try it, telling of himself, brothers and
mother having been cured bv it. I would
not try it at first, although I had been on
crutches for over two weeks, and at one time I
counted between twenty-ttve and thirty suppur-
ating sores, and had not slept more than five
hours in three nights. Monday morning about
four o'clock the pain, burning ami itching be-
came so severe that I determined to try itTt-
< i it a , thinking that if it did no good, it could
not make my leg much worse, for it was as raw
as a piece of beef and as red as a beet, so l
applied the Cmci ha, and in five minutes alter
1 laid tlown I *as asleep. Next day 1 sent and
got a box of i'l Ticv R k, and I'll pledge my honest
word 1 would not take $100 to-day for it, if I
could not get another. 1 commenced using
crtictka Monday morning about four o clock,
and to-day <Tuesdav> my leg is nearly well, not-

SPECIAL NOTICE
To My Friend* and Customers.
I take pleasure in informing 7011
that I have concluded to carry on my
Saddlery, Harness, Buggy, Carta auit
Wagon business at my old tUnd,
,, , i.ii. ,i ■ i north side of public square, and the
not really know what high taxation i» : l)est e(rorts will at all time be al-
as it prevails m other states. Our peuded to conduct tho same with
rates of taxation are exceptionally
low, and hence we can hetter'afford to
pay the small advancj that the neces-
sity for better road
demands.
A recent constitutional amendment!
permits the submission to taxpayiug ,
voters of a county the issue of a lim-'
ited additional tax for road purposes.
A few counties iiavo already adopted j
it -others aro preparing to do so—all I
that wish tor better things should at J
once adopt it. With the coming ofi
increased funds the beginning of a
better era will be upon us. But care
and wisdom should be applied to the
methods of expenditure. A general
plan for permanent improvement
should be mapped out, to begradually
worked out as the means permit.
While tho funds are limited care
should be taken that all parts of the
county should be equitably treated.
The crooked roads should be surveyed
and measured and every opportunity
for straightening them and placing
them upon the very best permanent
location should be availed of. Good
road-making material should be
sought for and used as far as practica-
ble. The steepest hills should have
their lines reduced. The larger bridges
should be substantially aud perma-
nently constructed. The smaller
bridges should be replaced by inde-
structible earthenware tiling. The
roadbeds should be graded up and
