It is not a 'century since the
vast extent of territory now known
as Texas was established by the Span-
iards as a perpetual barrier that should
intervene between the Mexican posses-
sions and the territories of the progres-
sive and hated Yankees. .Two great
provinces, Texas and Coahuila, were
united and with characteristics self
security the Spaniard was sure that he
and his posterity were freed from all
future contact with the people of the
new nation. Lack of communication
lipid it thus for a generation but tie
irrepressible American soon found a
I way to open the land to settlement.
Freed l y che blood of Alamo and San
.iHc'nto, the lone star knocked at the
: entrance for admission to tne American
' Union. Though the , strife over that
stion was long ard bitter there is
American who now regrets that
Teat ' came in and there is none wbo
i would consent to let her go. The Texan
j is instlv proud of his great state and
' the whole Union is ready to shont with
| him. Her birth bathed in blood; her
I first years marked by trails of border
I terrors; passing through the dark night
I of civil struggle; swept by fire, flood
I and famine, she ha? proved her inherent
I strength, her powers of quick recupera-
j tion, her wonderful resources, and her
j right to become the greatest state in
t all material things as she is in extent of
territory. Once approachable only by
the Gulf or the long and dangerous
' everland journey, her rich plains and
i sun-kissed soil where the land of some
| far away fabled country. Then came
j the great cattle ranges with their thou-
! s-mrls of miles of quivering flesh that
! faiteri upon the sweet prairie grasses
and then moved in long, endless trains
of glistening horns toward the northern
markets over the great trails which the
myriads of hoofs beat into highways
•-hat can yet be traced for hundreds of
miles. The wild buffalo thundered
ever the trembling earth, the mer-
ciless prairie lire rolled and hissed
in the face of all life and the
red I.idian marauded at his own will.
It has all changed the cattle ranges

scribed limits, the dark prairie soil that

N°T EXAGGERATED
Ara Fvrmar Biporti of th« Condition ol
Affair* in I'ojfto Kloo.
New York. Aug. 19!—A dispatch from
San Jnan, Porto Rico, says that visits
to the most distressed districts of the
island, prove that the former reports of
the terrible condition have not been in
the least exaggerated. People in the
towns are huddled together anywhere
for shelter, and in the country the peo-
ple are sleeping in the open air. Food
supplies have been totally destroyed.
Only the well-to-do can atford to buy
provisions.
Unless succor comes in a few days the
people will starve.
The schooner Concepcion, loaded with
800 Porto Ricans going as emigrants to
Samana, went adrift. All jumped over-
board and several were drowned.
Two thousand persons have perished
in this whole district.
Jiminez Arretted.
Havana, Aug. 19 --In view of the fact
that Colonel Bacallao, chief of the secret
police, persisted in declaring that Gen.
Jiminez, the aspirant to the presidency
of Santo Domingo, was in Havana,either
not having left or having returned, mili-
tary authoritiei telegraphed Cienfnegos
instructing Captain Stamper, collector
of customs there, to ascertain whether
Jiminez was on the Mendez steamer
and take him under arrest if that should
be the case. Just as the steamer was
leaving Cienfnegos. Captain Stamper
located Jiminez and arrested him.
Texan* for New York.
Austin, Aug. 19.—It is now almost as-
sured that at least JO companies of
the Texas volunteer guard will attend
the Dewey celebration in New York
City about Oct. 1. Governor Sayers
will be unable to attend the celebration,
but it is understood that he will dele-
gate a member of his staff to represent
him in behalf of the state of Texas on
that momentous occasion.
Dragged to Death.
Alexander, Tex., Aug. l8--Poke Hun-
mit, residing about four miles south-
west of this place, was killed while
working with a pair of mules. He got
his foot entangled in the rope. They ran
away, dragging him a distance of four
miles, killing him instantly.
Best in the World.
Mr. Ben F. Oliver remarked to Round
About yesterday:
"I see in this morning's News that
Bennett White was in town yesterday
ai d made reference to that big triple
picnic to be given by the old settlers,
ex-confederates and Woodmen of Den-
ton countv next Wednesday. Now, if
there is anybody who wants to know
what a high hand Denton county holds
when it conies to making the world one
continual round of pleasure on occasions
of this kind all that is necessary is to
just happen in abo.it I, -wisville some
time next Wednesday. I want to tell
yon, those Denton conuty people ar
hard to turn down a anything."— D.tl-
1 .s News.
We thought that the bad boys had
long since exhausted original devices
for the worry of their elders but the
young Americans over in Cooke county
have a new plan that seems to work
wonders in raising the wrath of
the mothers of their part of the
country. This is the time of camp
meetings and the mothers have the
habit of leaving their sleeping babes in
the wagons during night services.
While the service is going oa the boys
change the little sleepers from oue
wagon to the other and often the in-
terchange is not noticed unfil the
family gets home. Reports say that the
plan is a great success in raising a dis-
turbance in the neighborhood that l.ists
Horning.
From nary to|
DEAR JOHN:—I have Some news to tell you. Mr. J. L. Parker
has opened up the loveliest grocery store in the May building, on the
northeast corner of the square, where I used to meet youj-after school.
Mr. Mercer is with him and you know what that means. 1 think Mr.
Mercer is the whole thing when it comes to ordering nice coffees and
teas. The new store is called "The Market," and I am going to trade
there all the time. They didn't buy a horrid old job lot, but everything
they've got is perfectly fresh except the prunes and you know they
have to be dried. Since it has been so windy and disagreeable I don't
go out to the store, but send Josephine and the little colored girl,,
and Mr. Parker and Mr. Mercer never work off fly-specked stuff on
them. Write soon and Send me a V or two. Your wife,
MARY.

Under the new game law a farmer is
not required to have his field or pasture
"posted" with a board or printed notice
to keep hunters out. Any person hunt-
ing inside an enclosure not his own may
be prosecuted as a trespasser. I11 other
words, a person has no more right to en-
ter a private owner's field to shoot quails
than he has to enter his lot and take a
horse out, or enter his house and take
possession of any piece of furniture
without the owner's consent.—Ex.
