LAND DKPAUTMENT.
There was a ineetingf of the land
board yesterday.
The followine letter to Gov. Ireland
and report of Mr. Koche appointed
by the board to examine the survey-
or's rolls of the school lands were
read :
Austin August 8. 18d.
Hon. John Ireland President State Land
Hoard Austin Texas :
Sir n compliance with the instruc-
tions of the land board I have care
fully revised the tabulated statements
of valuation of school lands in the
various counties of the state as made
by the surveyors approved by the
commissioners' court and returned to
the general land office under the acts
of April 6 1881 and May 6 1882 and
have to report that I find the classili-
cation of the lands embraced in the
accompanying lists as full and com-
plete as is likely to be obtained under
any system that may be devised.
Wnere this is the case it is unwise to
subject the state to the
expense of a re-classilication
and intending purchasers to the de-
lays and inconveniences thereby occa-
sioned. Should it be ascertained at
any future time that an error has been
made in the classification of a particu-
lar tract it is within the power of the
board to compel payment on the basis
of the correct classification.
This power has been exercised by
the commissioner of the general land
office on several occasions greatly to
the benefit of the school fund. It is
not believed however that much if
any occasion will arise for dispute as
to correctness of the classification in
the counties selected.
In district No. 1 are included the
lands heretofore placed on the market
and to these are added a few surveys
embraced in supplemental reports not
acted on hitherto. District Xo. 2 in-
cludes lauds in counties where reports
were never acted on by the commis-
sioner of the land office but were held
by him pending action by the legisla-
ture. In many if not all of the coun-
ties included in both lists there are
school land surveys that have not been
classitied nor appraised and those of
course are resumed for classification
under the new law alter due inspec-
tion by some authorized party.
I have under consideration the rolls
of a few other counties in which
school lands were sold under previous
acts and will report thereon within a
few days. Wherever I think the
statements already filed in the land of-
fice are a substantial compliance with
the requirements of the act of April
13 1883 and have no reason to sus-
pect fraud 1 shall 'recommend the
adoption of the classifications as they
stand. I have arrived at my conclu-
sions from an inspection of the tabu-
lated rolls aided by the maps of the
land office and from information de-
rived from letters addressed to Com-
missioner Walsh and referred by him
to me and from statements made di-
rectly to me by well informed and
trustworthy parties. From the data
so obtained and for the reasons ad-
duced I respectfully recommend the
adoption by the board of the classifi-
cation of the lands embraced in the
accompanying two lists ana the plac-
ing upon the market said lands under
such rules and regulations as may be
prescribed. The law ltseit nxes tne
minimum valuation and the system
of competition provided for ought to
insure the best prices attainable. I
submit also a third list of counties
in which in my judgment a new
classification is necessary.
Respectfully submitted
Frahk T. Roche.
list no. 1.
The classification of the school lands
in the counties named below is recom-
iliended forj?'"j Jy ..the board for
the following reasons: " " -
1. In many instances it is all that
the law requires.
2. Where it is not precisely what is
required by law it is sufficiently exact
for all practicable purposes.
3. It is believed from the best data
obtainable to be correct.
4. In the majority of the counties
named the best of the school lands
appraised have already been sold
leaving inferior tracts which will be
well sold at tne prices nxea Dy law.
Should the board approve my recom-
mendation. I will examine the rolls
to ascertain whether the numbers of
surveys and certificates are given cor
rectly and what surveys are in con-
flict so that the copies of the records
may be forwarded to the surveyors of
the respective counties.
V ery respctctuiiy
Frank I. Roche.
The followine counties contain the
classified school lands which have
heretofore been on the market: An
gelina Atascosa Bandera Bexar
Brown Burnet Coleman Colorado
Comal Comanche Concho Eastland
Hamilton Jackson Jasper Kinney
Lampasas LaSalle Maverick McCul-
loch Mitchell Newton Parker Polk.

list no. 2.
The school lands in the counties
named below have never been on the
market to any appreciable extent. A
few acres in some of thetn may have
been sold under the act of April 24
1874 but there have been no sales
under subsequent acts except that of
one and one-half section in Wilbarger
county by special act of the
Eighteenth Legislature. The classifi-
cation is believed to be as good as can
be obtained. In the case of Jones
county it seems to be all that the most
exacting coula require u approved
the same communication will be
made as stated in list No. 1.
County classification is recom
mended; lands not heretofore on the
market:
Encinal Franklin Hays Jones
Karnes. Kimble. San Auarustine. Wil
barger and Zapata counties. .
Kespectiuuy
- Frank T. Roche.
list no. 3.
A classification of the school lands
in the following counties is recom-
mended because information received
by Commissioner Walsh leads to the
conclusion that in many instances the
so-called classification was mere
yuess work" and because the apprais-
ment rolls now in the land office
themselves afford evidence of error;
the territory described being too great
for faithful and accurate inspection
in the limited time devoted to it
Should the board decide to pursue the
policy of leasrng lands alone in any
particular county a re-classification
will not be necessary in that county.
Classifications recommended for re-
jection none of these lands have ever
been on the market : Archer El Paso
Henderson Tom Green and (in Palo
Pinto land district) Dawson Fisher
Howard Martin and Scurry and (in
Jack land district) Armstrong Bris-
coe Castro Donley Floyd Gray. Hale
Hall Lamb Motley and Swisher
counties.
To these should be added the fol-
lowing counties in which school lands
have been sold under pen-
sion laws but in which classi-
fications are not satisfactory:
Baylor narden Knox Nolan Pecos
Presidio Webb. Wheeler Crosby
Dickens Garza Kent. King Lubbock
Lynn Stonewall and Terry counties
all in the Young land district.
Note. Haskell is not included in
the counties in the Young land dis-
trict needing reclassification because
it is believed that nearly all the land
worth having in that country has al-
ready been sold and unless the action
of the "land fraud committee' results
in restoring to the state some of the
lands sold there will be little or
nothing to classify. The same re-
mark is applicable to Nolan county.
There are a number of other coun-
ties in which reclassification may be
neees- iry 11 mere are any i.inua leu
unsold a thing to be firot ascer-
tained. Respectfully submitted
Frank T. Roche.
Mr. Roche's report was discussed
but not acted upon.
Dr. Wooten on behalf of the state
university regent tendered the board
the assistance of a proper person to
aid in classifying and valuing the uni-
versity lands so as to get them ready
for leasing as soon as practicable.
The board accepted the proposition
and agreed to appoint such agent as
the regents suggested. The regents
are to pay the expense of the agent
and of the appointment.
A communication was received
from the agent appointed by the
board to prevent cutting timber from
the school lands in Presidio county
stating that he was unable to do
much without assistance which he
suggests might be afforded by the
rangers. The communication lies
over for consideration.
The board adjourned.
It occurs to us that it would be
better to sell the lands which are thus
despoiled on the border counties be-
fore they are rendered comparatively
valueless by the timber being cut
from them generally by parties hired
for the purpose.
comptroller's department.
About $2500 was paid into the
treasury yesterday through the comp-
troller. L. W. Oglesby tax collector of Col-
lin county settled his accounts with
the office.
Thirty-four bonds of 850 each were
registered for account of the funded
debt of the city of Brownsville.
THURSDAY.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.
Gov. Ireland was of the opinion
yesterday that the constitutional
amendments were adopted. Tne
wires will doubtless settle the ques-
tion this morning. The meagre vote
whatever the result shows the im-
propriety of special elections to effect
changes in the organic law.
There was to have been a meeting
yesterday of the board composed of
the governor adjutant general and
other officers to audit claims of the
state against the United States for
frontier defense. The meeting how-
ever was postponed.
A committee of homoeopathic phy-
sicians consisting of Drs. 15ragg
Fisher.Mussina and others called upon
the governor yesterday and hiid an
appointed interview with him of a
pleasant nature as to the character
and inliuence of the profession. No
special point to the interview was in-
timated but the object probably was
to impress the governor with the pro-
priety of some official recognition of
the profession in future appointments
on medical or examining boards.
THE NEW CAPITOL.
Despite the oppressive heat of the
weather the work of laying the con-
crete for the foundations of the new
capitol progresses very favorably un-
der the supervision of Supt. Clark
and Commissioners N orton and Lee
who are constantly on the ground in-
specting the work as it progresses.
The commissioners are evidently im-
pressed with the lact that it is all im-
portant to see that the foundations
are well laid. About thirty men are
at work and it is suggested that
they ought to be protected from the
sun by some sort of a canopy.
THE BRANCH LUNATIC ASYLUM.
Messrs. Frymier and Wallace with
Civil Engineer McLaurin left yester-
day to determine the foundations for
the new branch asylum to be built at
Terrell.
The committee appointed to confer
with Architects Andrewartha and
Ruffini for a plan to be drawn from
their combination plans for the new
building disagreed with those gentle-
men and contracted instead through
Gov. Ireland with Messrs. Preston &
Son for $1000 for such plans as the
board desired.
COMPTROLLER'S DEPARTMENT.
The complete assessment rolls have
been received of Baylor Ellis Frank-
lin Galveston Jefferson Kinney Lee
McLennan Titus Trinity Washing
ton and Wilbarger counties; and par-
tial rolls (non-residents' property)
from Cooke Erath Newton and Wood
counties. These sixteen counties
show an aggregate increase in proper-
ty values of about $11000000. If the
same proportion holds throughout the
state it is estimated that the amount
of taxable value will exceed $500-
000000. In this connection the following
table of previous assessment rolls of
the state will be interesting:
1872 $207920526; 1873 $233410920;
1874 $244510558; 1875 $250853759;
1876 $257632209; 1877 $292818743;
1878 $280415775; 1879 $303890207;
1880 $311470736; 1881 $349881566;
1882 $419925576; 1883 estimated
above.
J. M. Brown tax collector of Lee
county made his settlement with the
comptroller yesterday through E. A.
Burn.' assessor of the county. Mr.
Burns' rolls show an increase of about
13 per cent over last year's assess-
ment. FISH COMMISSIONER.
Commissioner Lubbock is in receipt
of the following information:
El Paso Texas August 10 1883.
John Lubbock Esq. State Fish Commissioner:
Dear Sir: I arrived at El Paso
about forty hours after leaving Aus
tin witn my nsn m very une condi
tion not losing one. L have taken
special care of them on account of the
weather being very hot and very fre
quently the water bad. I changed
tho water whenever I had a chance
no matter how often and kept it cool
witn ice. l nave no doubt from tne
way they are doing now that I will be
successful. Very respectfully
UEO. IS. Z.IMPLEMAN.
Hon. J. M. McDaniel. representative
from Neil county writes from Peoria
that the fish sent to him in the spring
have given satisfaction and makes
application tor some more for several
other parties.
Commissioner Lubbock has had re-
markable success in his shipments in
every instance. El Paso is in El Paso
county which is seven hundred and
twenty-two miles from Austin.
The special merit of tne carp which
Prof. Baird says is a farmer's fish lies
in the fact of its sluggishness and the
ease with which it is kept in very
limited enclosures. "The scaly leather
and mirror carp are all of firs -class
excellence." With properly construct-
ed carp ponds and properly managed
the farmer is as sure of wholesome
food fish as he is of his annual supply
of grain and meat.
Table Talk.
Every lady who presides at a table
is interested to know how she can de-
pend upon having things come upon
the table as she would like them.
How often are remarks like this
made: "This is just my fate; when I

A lady expects company for tea.
She orders for instance biscuits and
they are brought to the table heavy
and indigestible. How many house-
keepers can testify to mortification as
well as disappointment under such
circumstances! It may not however
have occurred to them that it is not
always the "cook's fault." Your bis-
cuits cakes pot-pies puddings etc.
cannot be raised with earth or worth-
less substitutes and it becomes your
own faun when you permit any bak-
ing powders to come into your kitchen
about which you know absolutely
nothing as to its purity or healthf ill-
ness. The market is flooded with "low-
priced" baking powders gotten up te
make an unjust profit by unscrupu-
lous manufacturers and dealers and
it is worthy the attention of all house-
keepers to note there is at least one
brand of baking powder distinctly
sold upon its merits and which can
be relied upon for uniform strength
and purity. The Royal Baking
Powder now known almost the world
over as a standard article has stood
the test of nearly a quarter of a cen-
tury and its friends among the ladies
are legion.

THE OMELET AS IT bHOULD BE.
Omelets are the popular breakfast
dish and many persons think they
have made and eaten omelet when
they have not. Anything that is
made of eggs and milk and solidified
over the fire is called an omelet. Some
people put flour in it. Now flour
takes fifteen or twenty minutes to
cook and an omelet is cooked in one
minute. The true omelet is a light
puffy quivering mass on your plate
porous flakey and delieious and an
ornament to any table. Proceed with
care as follows and you will have an
omelet to be proud of: In the first
place be sure your eggs are fresh or
you will fail; br:ak them in an
earthen dish and beat just enough to
mix the whites and yolks together
nicely then add a tablespooniul of
sweet milk or cream for every egg
and beat them thoroughly as you
would for sponge cake. Have your
pan perfectly dry and hot
enough to melt but not to brown
your butter then turn in your omelet
and place over the tire at ouce but be
careful it does not burn Take a thin-
bladed knife and run carefully under
the bottom and let what is not cooked
get below. Do not cook the whole
mass solid or you will have it too hard
and dry as its own heat will cook it
some after it is taken up; commence
at one side and carefully roll over and
over until the whole is in a roll let it
brown a nice brown turn out on a hot
plate and serve. Do not put a grain
of salt in it while it is cooking or it will
be tough and flatten as flat as a grid-
dle -ake. The butter if well salted
will make it plenty salt enough. It
requires some little experience and a
good deal of care to meet with perfect
success but I have endeavored to
make it perfectly plain and if proper-
ly made it is very nice. If you wish
to have it very ornamental spread
over the top whites of two eggs beat-
en to a froth and set for a moment in
a hot oven.
MISTAKES WISE MEN MAKE.
Do not aban ion a promising indus-
try simply because some wise man
sneers at its production. Even scien-
tists or ola men give too much advice
for it all to be sound. Ensilage sor-
ghum culture and other novelties are
worth testing in a safe way notwith-
standing the croakers. Dr. Lardner
once said no steamer could transport
coal enough to make sufficient steam
to bo propelled across the Atlantic.
Humphrey Davy said gas could not be
carried about the city in underground
pipes as a single explosion might
ruin the town. Not a scientist in
America would endorse the bell tele-
phone live years ago. Commodore
Vanderbilt told his son to buy no
railroads outside of 'New York state.
Seward thought 75000 men would put
down the rebellion. All the wisdom
in Spain and Portugal discouraged
Columbus. Washington once aecided
that the Erie canal was not practica-
ble. Sam Houston thought one-half
the money congress vot'd to Morse to
build the first telegraph line
ought to be devoted to
encouraging mesmerism. Cave
Johnson postmaster general declined
to consider a purchase of the telegraph
patents for the government for $100-
000 on the ground that it could not
earn expenses.- Marsh was called a
lunatic while attempting his inclined
railway up Mount Washington. It is
not vouchsafed to any one man to
know everything. It is vastly more
conservative to be a croaker than a
progressive man but fortunately for
the world there are some men en-
dowed with hope courage and de-
termination. American C ulti vator.
A western journal says : "There is
notiiing improbable in the curing of
swine cholera by the use of kerosine
oil. - Kerosine oil contains carbolic
acid. Carbolic acid is a very effective
antiseptic and destroys low foims of
organic life very quickly. By giving
an ounce of kerosine oil mixed with
milk to a sick pig the same effect is
produced as by giving a small quanti-
ty of carbolic acid and thus the oil
becomes a useful medicine in the
treatment of any disease such as chol-
era in pigs which is produced by the
presence in the blood of certain para-
sitic organisms. Charcoal is also an
active antiseptic and so is burned or
charred corn or even charcoal may be
given in this disease with good effect
especially as a preventive.
IMPROVE YOUR SOIL.
How to impjrove light sandy lands
and render tliem productive and re
munerative with the least expense
and labor. andTitihisame rim
them into this condition as soon as
possible has long been a leading prob-
lem. To render such soils highly fer-
tile is a work requiring time and
patience but it is being done. Lands
that were naturally exceedingly bar-
ren and worthless in their natural
condition have under intelligent and
judicious management become rich
and valuable. The amelioration of
such soils it hardly need be said con-
sists in supplying them with constit-
uents necessary to plant the growth
which they lack in greater or less de-
gree and in constantly improving
them. To supply such constituents
in the form of manures of various
kinds at the outset is impracticable in
almost any case by reason of the ex-
pense and labor required; but this
course is not necessary. Nature .is
ever ready to afford assistance and
generously second man's effort in this
behalf if he will adopt proper means
to reach the desired end. She
has provided plants that are
especially adapted to such soils and
there are others we need not stop to
name which seize upon the slight
nourishment afforded and by their
habits of growth shade the soil ex-
tract valuable and necessary material
for their own subsistence both from
the earth and the atmosphere and
work as vigorously as possible to re-
cuperate the productive capacity of
the soil in which they live. Such
crops in time fill the soil with a mass
of fibrous roots cover the surface
with foliage if there is a possibility of
doing so thus shading theground and
preventing the evaporation of such
moisture from the earth and extract
valuable fertilizing matter from the
atmosphere which contributes largely
to supplying fertility. The value of
turning under such crops is well
known and need not be enlarged upon.
These with the use of such suitable
manures and fertilizers sis can be read-
ily supplied supplemented with a
proper rotation of crops and the keep-
ing of live stock will in time bring
unproductive light soils into a good
degree of fertility. Fort Worth

TUE SIOUX SUN DASCE.
An Army Officer Describes In Detail
the Rosebud Barbarities.
An army officer a witness to the
great sun dance of the Sioux at Rose-
bud agency in Dakota sends an effec-
tive description of the tortures to the
Chicago Times. The camp this year
near the agency he says contained
10000 Indians and made a circle five
miles in circumference a beautiful
sight. In front of the tent where the
sun dancers were waiting their ordeal
lay a whitened buffalo skull on a
bunch of wild sage. Inside the tepee
was the sacred medicine pipe on some
mysterious sticks.
On Friday a scouting party was
sent out to discover a suitable pole for
the centre of the dancing circle and
the next day the pole a tall elm tree1
was cut by an Indian maiden conse-
crated to this office Her Pipe neice of
Standing Bear. She is said to have
cut thirteen poles and will never
marry. When it had been trimmed
and placed in position there came the
"charge on the pole" a thousand war-
riors on a thousand horses down from
the hill around the camp reckless for
limb pell-mell themselves and their
horse3 decked with green branches
"Birnam wood came to Dunsinane
"What rush of color what life what
vigorous movement! These were the
men who circled around Custer when
he stood alone. Many are in saddles
that belonged to that command.
With the boughs they bring the pa-
vilion is built around the pole and by
Sunday evening the tall grass in the
arena has been tramped smooth with
much ceremony and all is ready.
Jus'as the full moon peeped over
the eastern range of hills the dancers
to the sun fifteen in all entered to
fulfill their vow. On their heads
were wreaths of sweet grass or horns
over their chests depended represen-
tations of the sun and from their
waists hung totems. The siDgers
commenced to howl and beat their
drum. The dancers put to their lips
the goose-bone whistles trimmed
with the rare feather of the "medi-
cine bird" and began to hop up and
down. As long as they danced they
were to whistle and they were to
dance until the next sundown. Some
women to supplement the noisy beat
of the drum commenced to "hi-yi" in
a shrill tone and beat a hide spread on
the ground.
THE DEVOTEES' PREPARATION.
There was not a light in the en-
closure. The pole fluttering with
banners stood out in the moonlight.
Near its top was bound a fasces of
willow twigs which gave it resem-
blance to a cross. The figure of a buf-
falo cut from a hide represented the
sun and above it dangled the figure
of an Indian black on one side white
on the other the bad and the good
spirit. All night the dancing never
Hagged. While the moon was up
their faces were turned and their
arms outstretched to it and when
Cheezis the sun came "like a war-
rior robed an painted from his shin-
ing lodge of silver" they turned to it
and prayed earnestly. They faced it
all day ; if one shows signs of break-
ing down he is taken to the shade for
:i moment and given a pull at a pipe
or a bit of wild sage to encourage
saliva. The Indians look on indiffer-
ently and eat hard bread and boiled
dog which the squaws have brought
in dirty black kettles; outside the lit-
tle Indian boys are playing tricks on
each other the elder ones making
love by catching some dusky maiden
and standing with her for hours
wrapped in their blankets in plain
view of everybody of the prairie.
About noon the medicine man com-
menced to paint the three dancers
who were to be tied to the pole. Fol-lows-a-Woman
the first to suffer
was thrown on the ground and the
medicine man skilfully made two in-
cisions with a sharp knife over each
breast in the vicinity of the pectoral
muscles. The flesh was lifted and a
hard wood skewer thrust under and
fastened by sinews to the rope which
huug from the pole. Already weak-
ened by the fifteen hours of exertion
of thirst and of hunger he was to
strain at the rope until he broke loose
by tearing out his own flesh. He was
magnificently brave and it did not
take long. In five minutes be was
dancing with the others as if nothing
had happened and the parasol then
allowed him would have made him
ridiculous had not the red blood been
seen coursing down his body.
THE WORST SUFFERER.
Lives-in-the-Air was the next. He
tore out one stick in ten minutes and
was then released from tearing out
the other by the gift of three ponies.
Poor Dog had a dog's luck. The cuts
seemed to have been deeper on him.
He struggled and pulled then gave
the rope slack and danced about the
pole until suddenly jerking back the
flesh would stand out two or three
inches from the breast. The squaws
who came near to throw clothes and
calicoes at his feet or on the rope as
gifts to the poor turned away crying.
Toward tne sun bis bands were luted
Both the palms spread out against it
And bet wren the parted Angers
Felt the sunshine on his features
Flecked with 1 ght his native sh-ulders
As it falls and necks an oak
Through the rilted leaves and branches.
Twenty minutes of this agony with
out an outcry. A friend came up
and catching the man around the
waist gave a tremendous pulL Even
this did not break the stout integu-
ment and it was not until half an
hour had passed that the brave fellow
fell back on the earth panting and
weak two great wounds torn in his
breast.
One more exhibition remained.
Yellow was cut in the shoulder and a
skewer inserted from which a rope
was passed around the head of a horse.
The animal was hit and jumped and
thus the instrument of torture was
torn out. Several men who did not
dance had bits of flesh cut from their
arms ; also some squaws to make the
amount necessary from their hus-
bands' less or to satisfy vows of their
own. The dancers by this time were
a shocking sight tottering about not

"LOOK OFT FOR THE ESSIXE."
1 am a locomotive engineer and bare been
for twenty years and am now running on the
Maine Central Railroad. Lfe on an engine
as all engineers know is very trying to health
and strength. The continual jar of the en-
gine and straiu on our long trips all tend to
weaken the kidneys and urinary organs. In
addition to this ten years ago I met with a se-
vere accident and I was taken from under my
engine with severe Internal injuries which
gave me great pain. I was laid op for six
inontns and suffered more than I can describe
and more than I wish to suffer again. I re-
sumed work but my kidneys began to disturb
me and my nervous eystem seemed to be ou
of order. I could not sleep as my water de-
manded such constant attention that I was
kept awake a great part of the night; to uri-
nate caused severe pains. I employed the best
inedi-al skill in Portland and elsewhere but
continued to grow worse.
I was persuaded to try Hunt's Remedy as I
found that many of my -friends in Portland
had used it with great success yet I had no
faith that it would reach my case. However
I sent for a half-dozen bottles at one of the
drug stores in Portland and from the use of
the first bottle found a great relief. My water
was much better and the pain in the back and
limbs greatly relieved. 1 continued its use un-
til I had used ten bottles In al and it has been
to me a wonderful blessing and I have deemed
it a duty and privilege to recommend It to
those troubled iu a similar manner; and you
may publish this for the benefit of our railroad
men and the public in general as it has com-
pletely cured me.

Hunt's Remedy and after using several bot-

aches and pains to which she had long been
accustomed; and further says that Hunt's
Remedy never fails to releive the severe pains
in the side and intense backache and Miss C.

I have been a great sufferer with Salt Rheum
for thirty year commencing in my bead and
face and extending over the greater part of my
body. I have taken gallons of medicines for
the blood of different kinds ana tried good
physicians all of which did me no good and I
came to the conclusion that I could not be
cured. But a friend called my attention to Cu-
ticura Remedies. Got them and used them
until my skin is perfectly smooth aud I con-
sider myself entirely cured. Yours truly

which nothing relieved or cured until I used

I had tried everything I had heard of in the
East and West for Salt Kheum. My case was
a very bad one. My face head and some
parts of my body were almost raw. Head
covered witn scabs and sores. Suffering fear-
ful. One very skillful physician said he would
rather not treat it and some of them think
now I am only cured temporarily. I think
