Our PUIns Letter.
Emma, Texas, Nov. 12.
In passing through the Llano
pasture in Garza connty one no*
tices that the bail storm which
foil there a short time ago, has
done pretty serious damage. The
grass is badly beaten up and
stock suffered to some extent.
The grass is badly beaten up and
stock suffered to bouip extent.
The big tank in Moore's draw is a
total wreck I learn.
Another rain tell in the south-
ern plains country this week I
learn, but the wind had been
blowing pretty briskly since and
the ground soon dried oft*. The
fall whs pretty heavy.
Ttie hat ranch in Crosby has
some tine looking cattle now.
They have been buying recently
and the old stock are fat so there
is not a really bad looking animal
to be seen. The range is fine
and does not seem to have suffer-
ed much from the rain. Water is
plentiful.
The spade ranch in Bordon
county carried a bunch of cattle
to their ranch in Lubbock county
last week where they will hold
them for the winter.
Some of the ranches are prepar-
ing to begin poisoning prairie dogs
again. The few which weie left
last winter are multiplying fast.
I saw a few calves in Lynn coun-
ty last week which seemed to have
died with the black leg. The
ranch boys say however that very
few have died.
There is very little news of any
kind in the cattle line now. The
only trades I have beard of lately
•were ranches contracting for win-
ter supply of grain.
In traveling through the coun-
try now one is gratified to see the
feeling of content whieh exists
among most of the poople. All
have plenty of work and very lit-
tle time for any complaint.
* -V Reports from Dawson county
are very flattering now, cattle are
in excellent order and the range
is in hue shape, water is plentiful
but there has not been enough
«
rain to- hurt the grass.
The ranches are now and for
some time past have been busy
gathering herds and shipping.
.Next week there will be an im-
mense number of cattle sent to
market especially from the 'coun-
ties along the edge of the plains.
Two or three light frosts have
'visited the Plains country this
Women as Well as Men
Are Made Miserable by
Kidney Trouble.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis-
courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor
and cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kid-
neys are out of order
or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon
, for a child to be born
t? afflicted with weak kid-
neys. If the child urin-
ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it i3 yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as v/ell as men are made mis-
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.

What Pleases a Woman.
It pleases her to be called well

ing him.
It pleases her to be told that
she improves man by her compan-
ionship.
It pleases her to be treated
courteously and with respect, and
to be talked to reasonably.
It pleases her to be treated sen-
sibly t^ud honestly, to be consider-
ed and questioned, and not treated

It pleases her to be loved and
admired by a man who rs strong
enough to rule and subdue her,
and make his way her way, to
lead her and take care of her.
It pleases her to lind happiness
in being ruled by an intellect that

The Wichita Reservation.
A recent decision of the United
States supreme court sustains- the
claim of the Ohickasaws aud
Choctaws that under the treaty of
1866 they have an interest in the
Wichita reservation until 1965
This is followed by an announce-
ment from the Interior depart-
ment that contrary to popular ex-
pectation the reservation wiil not
be opened for settlement next
spring. Prospective settlers by
thousands are hovering around
the reservation and from all over
the country are ou the way by
haudreds as the impression has
been wide-spread that by June 1,
homesteaders would be admitted
to the new country. The railroads
bave taken the opening far grant*
ed aud have scattered literature
by the tou praising the lands and
promising low rates and hun-
dreds of families have planned to
leave their old homes early this
coming spring to lind new ones on
the Indian lands. These people
now have bat oue chance which
is that congress may take the mat*
ter up at its next session and
make terms with the Indians.
Wiley O. Cox and Robert L.
Owen, representing the Chicka-
saws and Choctaws, want 85,000.-
000 for their interest in the reser-
vation. Theu the 2800 Wichita
Indians bave to be considered and
they would take all but 10,000
claims. Take from this number
4000 claims in the Wichita moun-
tains which are worthless and the
proposition actually is that Uncle
Sam shall pay $5,000,000 for six
thousand claims and then throw
them open for free settlement.—
Chico Review.
Messrs. Rbea & Chafin have
started the Democrat at Stamford,
a new cross-roads town out on the
prairie a good ways from some-
where, and because there are al-
ready three or four papers trying
to eke out a miserable existence
ic that cowboy village, the editor
offers the following as an excuse
for starting to Democrat: "Some
one said that there are now too
many papers iu Stamford, with the
accent on the now. We can't help
that; we done our best to buy one
of the others out and couldn't do
it, and then tried to hire to them
and couldn't do that, and we just
had to have a paper—that's all
there was about it. We don't
know how to do anything else.
Wa can't preach much nor plead
law at all, and hence it was a
ground-hog case—run a paper or
starve, and we may do both—but
we'll run a paper."—Index.

that, but lota of people prefer to

panies $4 for each $1 of losses.—

A Shocking and Fatal Accident.
At the ratification of the Republi-
cans and their friends in the court
house park, last Saturday night, a
peculiar and distressing accident oc
eurred, which shocked the people of
the entire community and caused
heart-rending anguish in the hitherto
happy home of tbe unfortunate vie
tim.
A crowd of boys were firiDg anvils,
and were haviug a jolly ratification
by firing deafening reports by the
explosion of powder in the anvils.
Iu order to make louder reports a
cast-iron wagon-wheel tap was placed
between the anvils, and the explo-
sion that followed was attended with
fatal results. Tho wagon tap bu rated
into several parts and oue of the
deadly missiles struck Doak Mat-
thews on the hip joint and went al-
most through the body.
The injured boy was tenderly car-
ried to the Graham Oo'b drug store,
where physicians attended him at
once. After an examination he was
coveyed to his father's home, where
physicians aud devoted friends were
in constant atteudadce until 8 o'clock
Monday moruing, wheu the unfor-
tunate youth breathed his last.
Willie Doak Matthews was tbe son
of Mr. aud Mrs. W. M. Matthews and
was about 15 yoars of age.—Graham

In an ^)ld pasteboard bandbox,
stowed away in a cobwebbcd closet at
the Munsoii Cook farm house, in the
town of Theresa, N. Y., $15,000 in
paper money has been found, which
Mrs. Cook, whose death occurred on
Saturday last, had spent a lifetime
in hoarding np. The money, which
filled the old bandbox, was carried to
Theresa and placed in the bank.
Many of the bills were issued previ-
ous to the war, back in 1850, whilo
on the top of the pile were green-
backs of recent issue, Bhowing that
she ha-2 continued to hoard away
her income almost! to the day of her
death. Mrs. Cook was more than 70
years old when she died.
