TRKASUttY DKPABTMKNT
Mr. William I). Wortham Tn Statkhman
representative cheerfully accompanied his
.guide into the vault where glittering
.heaps upon glittering heaps were piled
the state's treasures. It was enough to
daze vne accustomed only to the ordinary
transactions of life. Of the amount in
th treasury about $(!00000 in round
numbers $140000 is in silver coin the
'.remainder in gold and paper currency
'ome bills of the latter of the denomina tion
of $10000. Dandits will gel no com-
fort of this information since the vault
is absolutely burglar-proof.
The staU treasury received from Comp-
troller Kwain yesterday 57392.r2 the
aggregate amount received from the
Houston Si Texas Central the Texas it
New Orleans and the Galveston Harris-
burg & Ban Antonio Kailway companies
for interest and sinking fund due on the
school fund loan.
About $115000 was depositod in the
treasury yesterday $40000 of which goes
to the credit of the available school fund.
This deposit will enable the treasurer to
take up all the registered warrants drawn
against this fund.
The treasury was reiuforoed yesterday
by the comptroller's deposit of $14000
which goes to the credit of tho general
revenue.
ATTOIINKY OKNKliAL'S OFFICE.
The following is a copy of the letter of
Agont Cowan with regard to the man-
damus suits in lloward county:
Uio Si'itiNOH IIowabd Co. Tex. )
May 3 1S8(. S
lien .lohn I). Ti'inpli'ton Altoruev-Gcnoral
Austin:
Dkaii Sir There have been live suits
filed here against me as surveyor of the
. lloward land ui.-.trict; to reiniire me ns
such officer to register mid sell seven
scot ions to eBch applicant under the act
of 18S3 and resolutions of tho board.
The cases are appearance cases and have
been continued over till next week to hear
from you. Please answer what I am to do
in the premises. I will at least tile iren
eral demurrer and general denial but will
look to you and the state to defend the
suits. Very truly 8. H. Cowan.
Necessary instructions have been for-
warded to Agent Cowan by the attorney-
general and vigorous Bteps will be taken
to defeat what is considered an attempt
to unlawfully absorb public school lands.
"No there is notaiug to-day" said Gen.
King in response to the usual inquiry.
"But stop a moment and look at this tes-
timony of the prowess and efficiency of
the Frontier Battalion." It was simply a
Colt's double-action 44 but its handle had
been shot away and was in several frag-
ments. The pistol was taken away from
Wiley Collier the murderer of old man
Branigan at Fredericksburg. Ou the 'J9th
of April last Private Ira Aten of com-
pany D fired at Collier whom he was at-
tempting to arrest near Travis Peak this
county. The ball passed through the bntt
of the pistol carrying away at the same
a middle finger. Collier wado good his
escape however leaving behind his pistol
and bat which are on exhibition at the
adjutant-general's office.
STATE LAND BOABD.
Messrs. Sexton t Smith attorneys of
Alvarado City who had been selected to
represent the state in the mandamus cases
brought against Ageut Cowan at Big
Springs were compelled to decline because
of being previously employed to repre-
sent applicants in similar snits. '
dored by a ranger to put it up. Patter-
son snapped his pistol at Ranker Baxter.
whefeupon a general shooting ensued re-
sulting as before stated. The rangers
participating in the affray gave bond and
were released.
The liar in ful and fatal results attending
the use of cough mixtures containing
morphia opium and other poisons are
daily becoming more frequent. It is for
this reason that Red Star Cough Cure has
received the unqualified endorsement of
physicians nnd boards of health every-
where as a purely vegetable compound
entirely free from all narcotics. Price
twenty-five cents.
FKICIHN'U UltOWIXU PIGS.
From the Farm Field and Stockmen.
The hog has usually been fed as if he
wore capable of digesting all that conldbe
crammed into his stomach and he has
been treated as if he was as hearty as a
wild boar and could endure extremes of
heat cold tilth and neglect. Now a hog
can only digest a certain amount of food
within a certain time and when he has
eaten too much he suffers inconsequence
nnd especially if the food is of a kind not
ndabted to his requirement. His digestive
organs can be disarranged as easily as
can those of n horse and tilth taken into
his systom will cause him to become dis-
eased the same as is peculiiir to humans.
Tho accepted theory regarding cholera
now is that it is a form of typhoid fever
and if this is true there is but one condi-
tion to arrive at which is that tilth is at t he
bottom of the difficulty. The eating of
tilth is bad enough but the drinking of
filthy water is worse as the animal is then
thirsty and the tilth being a soluble con-
dition is at once carried to every portion
of the body. The supposition that the
kidneys cause the impurities to be elimin-
ated is true only when the animal is in a
heated condition. If the surroundings
are filthy tho pores of the body will be
closed.
If in feeding hogs the farmer will aban
don the practice of attempting to keep
them in an excessively fat condition while
they are growing he will find that they
will entail less labor of management and
be more thrifty while tho excellent health
in which he will find them when ready for
being fattened will euable them to take on
more fat and at less cost than to keep
fat the whole year. All this is required
with growing pigs is to afford them a var
iety of food and to keep their quarters
clean Above all give them as much fresh
water as they can drink. If slop is fed
place it in a trough where it will be eaten
up clean instead of being scattered about
to ferment. Slop is not really filthy food.
It is only when it is in a state of decom-
position and filled with disease germs that
it becomes injurious but to compel pigs
to eat where they have deposited manure
or to drink water that they have impreg-
nated with the same will cause disease to
break out in any herd.
