by a Large Crowd.

ing was hanged at 10.01 o'clock this morning.

cussing nt intervals his approaching doom.

around him. He declared ho was resigned to
his fato and had no fears an to the future. He
persisted in denying his guilt of the
llainhill murders. A few moments

the gallows and in a few moments all was
over.
The drop was seven foot. The execution

government and civil officials, magistrates,
police and clergymen.
William'* Palace on Wheel*.
London, May 22.—[Special.]—The Germans
continue to grumble over the luxurious and
expensive habits of their young emperor.
This week the radical newspapers have had
their reporters in Potsdam to describe the lat-
est evidences of the omperor's extravagance,
Ins new special train and his block house now
approaching completion. The special train is
said to be the most wildly extravagant whim
that over that modern sovereign has indulged.
It surpasses in extravagance the famous train
of Queen Victoria, and cost about twice as
much. It has twelve vostibulo carriages. The
reception room is hung with the rarest im-
ported tapestries and carpeted with the rich-
est oriental rugs. Marble groups and easels
bearing paintings by the best modern artists
till the walls and corners. The library is hung
with Gobelin tapestry from the C'harlotten-
berg palace; the dining room is finished in
old oak, and the private parlor is upholstered
m white Jsatin. There are throe bedrooms,
each with a bath and dressing room attached.
There are besides a kitchen and servants'
quarters. The cost of the train was about
B,000.000 marks, but tho treasures of art with
which the living rooms have been crowded
raise this sum to 4,000,000 or 4,500,000 marks.
Financier Mercier'* Methods.
Quebec, May 22.—[Special.]—Tho dis-
closures made in the legislature by Treasurer
Hail respecting ex-PremierMerciers methods
of financeeriug have created great indigna-
tion and excitement. Mercier and his treas-
urer, Sheehyn, were in the habit of reporting
each year to the house the cash balauces on
hand, but had used up for ordinary expendi-
tures large amounts of trust funds and rail-
way guarantor deposits which, with loans
made by them and existing deficits, increase
their debt for the live years of Mercior's gov-
ernment from $11,000,000 to more than $24,-
UX). The now government decreases the an-
nual payment by $1,250,000 and there is still
an annual deiicit of over $1,UX),000 which
must pc provided for by additional direct tax-
ation and a floating debt of $8,500,OU0has been
discovered and the annual exjxmditure has in-
creased from'less thau $4,000,000 in 18^7 to
over $8,000,000 in 1801, though but little differ-
ence la revenue. The expenses and conditions
connected with the $4,000,000 loan negotiated
by Mercier and Sheehyn last year in Europe
make the interest payable equal to 6 1-2 per
cent.
It EmbarraHftCH Austria.
London, May 21,—[Special.]—The Stand-
ard's Vienna correspondent says the invita-
tion to tho international silver conference has
embarrassed the finance ministers of Austria
and Hungary because it strengthens the oppo-
nents of the currency reform.
Austria will follow Germany, but is disin-
clined to enter the conference.
There is a belief here that the continuous
fall in silver is a clever device of American
silver kings to force tho price of silver 6o
low that the Indian difficulty will compel
England to co-operate with America to reha-
bilitate silver and then let tho price go high
enough to compensate speculators. Mr.
Goscnen'e acceptance of the invitation iB re-
garded as atriumph of the American '"kings."
London's Depravity.
London, May 22.—[Special.]—Lady Somer-
set thinks New York is not as bad morally as
^ondon. When interviewed to-day she said:
"•Dreadful as are the dives and saloons of New
York I was much struck and encouraged by
the fact that no women completely lost to all
decency and character can be found in these
places in either New York or Chicago, in
neither of which cities can such sights be seen
as shock us in Picadilly. I believe I have
mentioned this fact publicly before, but it
can not be too much insisted upon, and I shall
go on repeating it till my remarks produce
some effect. Last Sunday night when I left
St. James hall I passed through scenes of vice
that could not be publicly Haunted in the
streets of any American city."
Another Dynamite Plot.
Paris, May 21.—[Special.]—Considerable
excitement has been occasioned hore by the
discovery of a dynamite cartridge at the res-
idence of M. Beaupaire, the public
prosecutor, and who had charge of the case
against the notorious anarchist and criminal,
Ravachol. M. Beaupaire was about
the only person connected with the
prosecution on the trial of Ilavachol
who did not display any fear of
what the consequences of his action might be.
There is not the slightest doubt that the cart-
ridge was placed where it was found by some
of the friends of Ravachol, but fortunately it '
was discovered bofore any damage was done.
Paid Up and Saluted the Flag.
New Yoke, May 22.—[Special.]—The Her-
ald's Curacoa, Venezuela, cable says: The
French trans-Atlantic line of vessels put in a
claim, through the French minister, for dam-
ages because tho fort at Puorto Cabello fired
upon the Canada. The claim has been satis-
fied by the government paying $10,000 and
saluting the French llag.
The latest sensation at Caracas is tho arrest
of Manuel Maria Bermudez, for years one of
Palacio's most intimate personal friends. He
is accused of having written to his brother,
who is in Europe, predicting that tho federal-
ist party would ultimately succeed in over-
throwing the administration.
Supposed to Be Drowned.
Mklboubne, May 22.—An oyster boat in
which fifteen members of a football team
were being taken across the bay of Bay
Philips by two fishermen, has been found
bottom up and ali are supposed to be
drowned.
One Hundred and Twenty Drowned.
London, May 22.—A dispatch from Monte-
video says the Brazilian turret ship Solinoes
was wrecked off Cape Santa Maria, near tho
mouth of the Rio de la Plata, and but five of
the crew were saved, 120 being drowned.
Knight of tho Order of Katli.
London, May 22.—The queen has conferred
the decoration of knight of tho order of Bath
upon the khedive of Egypt.
CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.
The Programme at Washington for the
New Week.
Washington. May 22.—Only two appropria-
tion bills await tho action of tho senate, the
pension appropriation bill and the diplomatic
and consular.
The unfinished business is the bill to punish
violation of the treaty rights of aliens, but
consideration may be delayed by tho coming
up of the special order.
Resort will also bo had to tho calendar for
ono or two days with the result of adding to
it a large number of senate bills which sleep
in tho committee rooms of the house.
In tho houso tho hour of daily meeting has
been advanced one hour in expectation of
facilitating the transaction of business and
the effort will bo made to hasten tho progress
of the suudry civil bill and make up some
ttme lost on that measure by more prompt ac-
tion than usual on the two appropriation bills
which for two weeks have been waiting
their turn. These are tho fortification and
postoftico appropriation bills, neither of which
as a rulo consume moro than two
days, though in view of reductions
made in tho bills this year it can not bo safely
predicted that they will get through on sched-
ule timo this session. i'he passage of those
bills constitutes a programme for tho majority
of next week. With tho passage of tlieso ap-
propriation bills only three more remain to bo
acted on by tho houso, namely: Tho legisla-
tive, executive and judicial, the agricultural
and the deficiency appropriation bills.
WILL PB0BABLY BE RETAINED.
Reoeivor Yoakum and the Jetty Contract.
Arrested for Theft.
San Antonio, Tex., May 22.—It is regarded
as very probable that Receiver Yoakum will
bo retained, as ho will be able to show clearly
that tho contract for $400,000 for hauling rock
to the jetties would bo vastly to the benefit of
the road, and if it is not made that the failure
to make it will be a loss to the road. John J.
Stevens is spoken of as the successor of Mr.
Yoakum in tho event that the latter should bo
removed.
James Scott, wanted at Brackett in Kinnoy
county to answer a charge of theft, was cap-
tured hero to-night and jailed by Deputy
Sheriff James McCloskoy.
.T. llieloy Gordon, architect, left this morn-
ing for Galveston with the plans for tho
Texas building at the world's fair to deliver
them to tho contractor, \V. J. Hobson, who
will commence tho construction as early as
possible.
FEARFUL DESTITUTION.
Had Condition of Jj'lood Sufferers on the
Arkansas River.
Pine Bluff, Ark., May 22.—The destitution
of flood sufferers up and down the Arkansas
river is fearful. In the Plum bayou and
White Bluff districts tho water was so high
that boats had to bo sent there to rescue tho
population.
The steamer Anna B. Adams brought 1200
refugees here this morning and 220 more
were landed this afternoon by the gov-
ernment boat Cleveland. Tho officers of the
Adams report two women and a child
drowned by falling from a skiff. Their hus-
bands climbed trees and wore rescued. Both
stonmers returned to the llooded localities to
bring relief to other Bufferers. A tolegram
received this evening states that the town of
Altheimer, twenty miles north from here, is
under three feet of water.
DISCUSSING NEGRO LYN0HINGS,
A Negro Paper in Boston Publishes a
Startling Roport.
Boston, Mass., May 22.—[Special.]—The
Boston Republican, printed by colored people
iu this city, has an article to tho cffoct that
colored men of Cambridge and Boston, bo-
longing to secret sooioties, have for some time
been earnestly discussiug the numerous lynch-
ings of colored men in the south. According
to the article these men have been taking les-
sons from socialists and Russians as to tho
making of dynamite bombs and otiier explo-
sives with which they propose to return to tho
south and take revenge unless tho outrages
are stopped. The men are bound together by
a solemn oath and indignantly refuse to bo
classified as anarchists.

Two Notable Exoeptions to the General
Rule of Lower Prices—The Letter
of Presidsnt Cakes.
New You*, May 22. — (Special.] —The
weather and tho Northern Pacific managers
have given Wall street a blue week. Tho
bears have been in tho ascendant, the bulls
nowhere, and prices havo been dropping un-
der a considerable outpour of long stock, ably
assisted by professional operations on tho
short sido, for tho bears really have something
with which to shako both speculative and in-
vestment holdings.
Though money is a drug it is not so plentiful
as to make peoplo want to hold stocks in tho
faco of such news as the stroet has been sup-
plied v.'ith the f ast week. There was the pass-
ing of tho Northern Pacific dividend, tho
semi-official report that Atchison would make
a new issue of bonds, tho rumors that the Erie
road was also hard up for money, and lastly,
worse than ali else, the daily reports from tho
west of the disastrous Hoods and the eeasolcss
rains, which made agricultural operations im-
possible and seriously endangered thi6 year's
crops.
To the general rulo of declines there wore
exceptions in Manhattan stock, which has
risen to a point whore the buying must be on
some other ground than the returns received
from present dividends, and also Cordage
common, which has risen on what seems au-
thentic reports that the company will declare
an extra or bonus dividend in addition to tho
regular one.
» The passing of the dividend by the directors
of the Northern Pacific company was fore-
shadowed in this column last Sunday. It is
amusing to noto that what was then said has
been charged to tho account of Mr. .Tames R.
Keeno, who is asserted to have inspired it.
This, as a guess, was about as infelicitous as
the moment President Oakes chose for writ-
ing a letter in praise of the ability with which
Mr. Villard has managed tho financial atl'airs
of the comply. It so happened that the only
remark Mr. Keene has at uuy time made
about what was said of Northern Pacific was
an expression of considerable dissatisfaction,
not to say annoyance, at the views expressed
of the condition of the company shortly after
its hist annual report was issued. Mr. Keeno
was not personally interested in the stock, but
he was engaged in some large operation on tho
buli side, which he felt might be embarrassed
by tho dociino of so prominent a security a3
Northern Pacific preferred.
The letter of President Oakes to the
Times, controverting certain statements mado
last Sunday, has
a somewhat comical aspect.
It has been said in the street that his next
letter in praiso of Mr. Villard's financial
ability will probably procode a default on tho
company's bonds. But the really funny thing
in tho letter was the reply to the statement
that the road was not and could not actually
be run for 61 per cent of its gross earnings,
the cost above this being charged to capital
account. "Nothing of the kind," says Mr.
Oakes. "Tho directors have determined what
tho working expenses shall be, according to
the original plan of reorganization, and they
are 01 por cent." Suppose the directors de-
termined they should bo GO or 50 or 20 per
cent, or none at ali, if you like, would that
mako tho cost of the worn less or decrease tho
amount the company has to pay out? Tho
price of the stock lias reached a lovel where, if
thore be no unfavorable developments beyond
what is already known, it is no longer safe to
sell it short. It is a non-dividend price. But
this supposes that the company is easily able
to earn its interest charges. If the serious
question beforo the directors is not money for
dividends but money for interest, theu it is
certain there must be a further decline in
both its stock and bond6. Tho difficulty with
tho company is indicated in tho following
letter:
To tho Financial Editor New York Times:
Tho Northern Pacific report, including tho
Wisconsin Contrai, fornino months to April,
185)2, (published in the Finaucial Chronicle)
while showing as compared with last year, a
diminution of about $150,000 in net earnings,
and the large increase of $525,000 in miscel-
laneous incomes, gives the iixod charges for
the nine months as $9,934,000 against $9,089,-
000 in the same period of last year. Here is
an increase of $845,000 or at tho rate of over
$1,100,000 increase for tho fiscal year 1892
over 1391. As tho fixed charges under the
Wisconsin Central lease do not materially
change, the increase must be somewhere in
the Northern Pacific. Is there any explan-
ation of this extraordinary increase? C. B.
New York, May 20,1892.
The directors of the company may be able
to explain how their fixed charges this tiscal
year are growing at a rateof over $1,100,000,but
outsiders will have some difficulty in locating
the cause. The figures as given appoar to be
authentic. They at least havo not been ques-
tioned as to accuracy. If they are not correct,
the directors should lose no time in saying so,
because such a showing seems to make inter-
est in the consolidated mortgage bonds some-
what of an uncertainty. Perhaps the stock-
holders of the company will think it is
time for them to wake tTP.
The present board of directors took the pre-
caution to secure a three yoars' tenure of office,
but they can be reached. It must be apparent
that the afFairs of the company are by no
means in as sound a shape as the letter of
President Oakes, advising the passing of the
dividend, would indicate, otherwise the con-
solidated 5 per cent bonds would not be sell-
ing at 76c to 77c with the June coupon about
to come off.
Tho weather news from the west was a groat
deal worso in its effect on tho market than tho
Northern Pacific incident. A week ago it
seemed that the rains had ceased and it was
correct enough to say that apart from tho
actual destruction wrought by the floods no
great damage had been done, for it is certain
that there is no fertilizer known so good
as rain. All the expensive guanos and phos-
phates in the world are as nothing compared
with it, and are useless without it. Excessive
rains in the spring, bad as they may mako
things look for a time, are usually followed
by bountiful crops in the fall. But since it
was supposed that the rains had ceased wo
havo had another downpour as heavy as any
which had gono before, which puts a more
6orious aspect on things, and the destruction
by floods lias been widor than ever. This is a
dead loss for which there is no compensation,
as there is with tiio rain from tho increased
fertility it gives the soil. Tho railroads have
been groat sufferers and it is a conservative
estimate which puts at two months not earn-
ings
THE COST OF REP AIMS
and loss of business. Therefore tho roads are
not likely to make very favorable statements
for this period of the year.
We have now the element of time to con-
sider in relation to tho year's crop. All tho
6pring plowing and most of the sowing should
be done by this time, but over large areas of
the corn belt and the spring wheat region no
plow can be put into the ground. It is re-
ported that in the winter wheat belt the seed
planted on low lands has everywhere rotted,
which makes it certain that this crop will be
short. The land, howover, may still be put
into corn provided the weather improves in
time for it. The critical period,tho experts say,
is the next ten days, and for the next
ten days the stock market will be a weather
market. Yesterday it was reported to be
clearing in tho west and northwest. Should
this continue and the coming week be one
showing a radical change for the better
throughout the great grain growing regions
there will "Be a lively rally in prices of the
granger stocks very speedily. On the other
hand, should there bo no improvement it will
simply be a question of how short this year's
crops are to bo and the size of the shortage
in the income of the railroads as the conse-
quence of it.
GARZA IN KEY WEST.
He Parades as Cuban Patriot and Makes
a Spsech.
Key West, Fla., May 22.—[Special.]—Catar-
ina Garza, the Mexican outlaw, is still in this
city, although in most careful concealment.
It is learned ou the best authority that ho
readied here about five weeks ago by the way
of Nassau, and there is every roason to believe
that he is closely guarded and protected in
tho houso of a prominent Spanish gentleman
here, although every effort to definitely locate
him there has so far proved futile. When
Garza first reachod here ho was firet
seen in the company of this Spaniard, but
was not rocoguized by anybody outside the
lattor's household, and Garza was introduced
by his host as Jules Fcrrol Botancourt, and ho
claimed to be a Cuban patriot deeply inter-
ested in a new revolutionary movement now
being pushed by the Cubaus and their sympa-
thizers among the resident Spaniards in
Havana, and within a week Betancourt had
ecome generally acquainted with tlie better
class of patriots here in Key West and received
many attentions from them, and later on a
public meoting was called in San Carlos hall
at which a prominent and wealthy insur-
rectionist presided. It was largely at-
tended, and Betancourt was introduced
to tho audience in most flattering terms. Ho
made au urgent address in Spanish of a high-
ly inflammatory character, in which he took
occasion to appeal for financial aid in behalf
of the cause. There was a liberal response
and "betancourta" sponsor took charge of tho
funds. When the meoting was over tho spoak-
or was presented to many of the prominent
patriotH and held quite a llattering informal
rocoption for nearly half au hour.
Subsequent to this meeting he became a
regular participant in all the patriots' secret
and public gatherings, and was a prominent
figure in all thoir places of rendezvous in the
Spanish quarter. He mixed very little if any
with the American residents, and only a few
recall having scon him at all.
Botaucourt's remarkable resemblance to a
portrait of Garza published in the plate mat-
ter of ono of the local newspapers attracted
the attention of one of the woll-known
"neadere" in a largo cigar factory here, and
ho conveyed his suspicious to one of the local
officers of the law, who consulted with
the authorities and the result was an inauiry
by wire of United States Marshal Fricklof
tiio western district of Texas at San Antonio
as to whether or not t here was any warrant on
which Garza could be arrested. Tho
reply came: "Hold him." This informa-
tion must have been conveyed to Botancourt
at once, for he quickly disappeared from pub-
lie view and has not been seen since. This
sudden disappearance, coupled with the fact
that Betancourt ha* not left the island, is
taken as conclusive evidence that Betancourt
and Garza are one and tho same person.
As far as your correspondent can learn, no-
body here is authorised to arrest Garza if he
should come to light again. No advices
have been received as yet from the Mexican
or the United States authorities. The officers
hero would hardly feel warranted in taking
Botancourt into custody upon the simple order
of Marshal Frickc to "hoid him," unless the
"patriot" were known to be Garza beyond a
doubt, but it is safe to assume that Botan-
court, whoever ho is, can not get away from
Koy West on the quiet.

FATTENING UP BATTING AVERAGES
BY THE SAND GRABS.
Poor Work of the Dallas Players—The
Panthers Still on the Toboggan.
Other Sporting Topics.
Tho batting of tho Dallas team yesterday
was weak and ineffective, their error-making
of the most childish and their general work of
the sort that gives the average spectator a big
disgust. Their work yesterday afternoon was
on a par with that of the day bofore. They
wont to pieces when the homo team hit the
bail, and their errors were generally of tho
rankest kind. They could not hit tho ball
with any success when men were on bases,
and they never had any show to win the game
at any time. Rappold and Cahill fielded
fairly and Fabian's work in loft was about the
only redeeming feature of his team's play.
'i'he Sand Crabs did no very remarkable
work in the field but thay hit the ball hard
and showed up alongside of the Hams as
stars. Smith, Page and Armstrong led in the
slugging, the former with two double* and a
triple, which were ali timely. Armstrong's
catching was vory fine and Page's work at
second and Rhue's long throws from tho out-
field were of tho kind that delights the hoart
of the "fan." Donahue pitched a good game,
but did not have to exert himself very much.

notes of the game.
Three or four new men are on the road to
join tho Dallas team.
Smith's trusty bat was responsible for six of
tho runs crossing the plate.
Curroy was a little hard on both pitchers in
the second and third innings.
By tricky work Douahue caught two or
three runners napping at first.
Pago and Armstrong for the locals and Van
Zant and Rappold for Dallas are the batteries
slated for this afternoon's work.
Fabian ought to tone down his coaching a
little. His senseless howling does not help the
playing along a bit and is very disagreeable to
the auditors.
When he wants to call down a player for in-
different work or other causes Captain Arm-
strong should not do it before a crowd. It is
not a good practice.
When a home plaver—or, for that matter, a
visitor—strikes out he should not be jeerod or
laughed at. It is the worst kind of roasting
and does not help to improve a player's work.
This is Armstrong's last year on the pro-
fessional field. Next winter ho will return to
Stockton, Cal., and go into business with his
father-in-law, a wealthy Mexican, who runs a
big grocery store, and is the possessor of con-
siderable real estate.
Eugene Currey has applied for a position on
the staff of umpires, and if his work will be as
good as it was iu the two games ho has already
worked in here, he stands a show to get the
position. He will work hard to give satisfac-
tion, and his good knowledge of the rules will
be of service to him.
Poor Old 1'antliers.
Houston, Tex., May 22.—Houston won the
second game of tho sorios with Fort Worth to-
day with apparent ease.
That McCloskoy has a team of sluggers is an
indisputablo fact, as a total of nineteen hits
off Rogers' delivery shows.
The crowd was in a good humor and ap-
plauded liberally when tho visitors made a
good play.
If Fort Worth desires to remain in the
league sho will have to strengthen up, and act-
ing upon tho suggestion of interested parties,
Manager Cobb hHS mado arrangements
whereby he will secure some first-class play-
ers within tho next week or ten days.
The work of Catcher Stein of tho visitors
was excellent, and his running left-handed
catch of a foul brought down tho grand stand.
As to the gamo there is littlo to bo said, be-
yond the fact that hitting was the predominat-
ing feature. In the sixth inning, when two
strikes had boon called on him, Mc-
Closkoy pounded the sphere near the club
houso for a homo run. Preston, the
new third baseman, showed up well, consider-
ing the fact that ho mot with an accident on
route, which partially crip plod him. He, like
tho resl of tlrt team, is a good stiokor. The
special features of Houston's playing were
two beautiful running catches by Roberts, a
long lly catch by Smith and the outfield work
of Preston and Flynn. Tho work of Umpire
Sylvester was first-class. The following is the

Lost One Farm in a Lawsuit
OroDs.
Eulogy. Tex.—To The News: Atten-
tion, ragged squad! Our foster mother
by the sea, with her daughter at Dallas, calls
on us to come to the Farmers' Forum and tell
what wo know about our chosen vocation, that
of agriculture. Wrhile I do not like to com-
plain, I do think mamma might have allowed
me to toll what I don't know about farming,
as I assure you that is a great deal the largest
part of the subject, and would be more inter-
esting if well toid than what I do know. The
art of farming is an education, and while the
state gives us $5 por capita per annum as a
starter for our children, The News gives us
adults twelve months of as fine schooling as
the state affords for the sum of $1. Hence
you will see at once that if you expect to bo-
come a successful farmer, your first act should
be to plant $1 in Tub News, and after plant-
ing you must cultivate by hard reading and
still hardor study. Yon must learn to bo an
independent thinker if you expoot success to
crown your efforts.
In order that you may better understand
mo, I will go back to the time of the war and
say that I was a kid soldier for the confed-
eracy ; was discharged without a dollar, poor,
ragged and lousy. My father's farm in Mis-
souri was devastated. I went home and
worked for him till I was of age, and then,
with my hands aB my only capital, I started in
for myself. In three years I was tho owner of
two ponies, one mule and had $30 in cash.
And at that time, 1870, Felix O. Lindsey gave
me his daughter, Mary Francis, for a wife.
We rented land in Missouri for a few years.
Iu 1874 wo oame to Texas and cast our lot
with her people, and together wo have fought
the battle of life through too many hardships,
only ono of which I will mention. That was
the loss of our homo in a lawsuit, requiring us
to nay for it twice. To-day we own 100 acres
of land, all under fence, seveuty-fivo acres of
it in cultivation, and wo now havo thirty-five
acres in corn, twenty-five in cotton, ten in
oats and one in sorghum. I planted one bar-
rel of Irish potatoes, have two acres in a fine
bearing peach orchard and three-fourths of an
acre for Bweet potatoes. I have tho peach
orchard plantod in peas and sorghum for my
hogs; have five head of good farm horses
and twenty head of scrub cattle. Last year I
paid the last mortgage on my place—the sec-
ond time, and this yoar I reduced my ootton
acreage one-third, adding to it corn and oats.
I think 4 cents per pound will be about the
price of cotton next year. As I have nine
children and we do all our work I think that I
can raise little cotton at that price, and I do
not think a renter or one that has to niro labor
can.
I have been almost a continuous subscriber
to The News, and my success though vory
humble I can truly say should be largely
credited to The Nbws iu training me to think
for myself.
Hon. George Washington said, "Eternal
PROMOTES

and
CURES
vigilance is the price of liberty," (?) but if it
is to be applied to farming at tlie present day
"Eternal vigilance is the price of living,"
would hit the bull's eye at any distance.
I wanted to say something about carrots,
but for the last hour I have been twisting
about on my chair and scratching my head; I
can't get started off right. Most alf poor
farmers know what making a crop on tho
grass means, and still more they know that
the grass is just about all gone for Texa*
farmers. For several years I nave been cast-
ing about in my mind for something to fill
that aching void (in the horses' stomachs, I
mean), when grass was no more, and only last
year by accident I got down to something
tangible. Last year I was called away from
home and loft my boys to dig a sweet potato
patch in tho new ground full of
roots and stumps, and it being a cold,
disagreeable day, they plowed a little anc
scratchod some, and callcdjthe job done. And
two of mv horsea that wore running loose in
tho field found those potatoes left in the patch
and very soon they learned to paw them up
and oat them. And, to my surprise, in an in-
credibly short time those two horses were fat
and sleek. That circumstance started me
thinking about substituting a root crop for
grass. Potatoes come too late, and why not
carrots? Well, I nover had seeu a carrot in
my life, but I believed I waa getting so close
to it that I hurried off to town; but I only
found two 5-cent papers, and tlioy both failed
to germinate. Now, gentlemen, how will it
do to sow broadcast an acre of carrots about
the middle of February to pull and feed
through the spring? 1 ain going to have one
pound of carrot seed next spring, sure, to
test it.
Now, Old Lady, if you don't like this, just
boil it; they say carrots are good boiled.
D. C. Hood.
There is no question that carrots make an
excellent food for both horses and eows.
Cows secrete more milk fed on carrots and
potatoes than most other root crops. If they
are carelessly sown broadcast you will find
that tho carrots will not grow to the large size
that they do if drilled in—they crowd too
much. Perhaps some reader of The News
can tell what is a good month for planting.

Galveston, Tex., May 22.—To The News:
Seeing that you are so partial in printing all
remarks that are made from the different
voters in Galveston, I would bog that you
would print a few remarks from me, knowing
that you are just and not in favor of either
candidate so far as democratic principles are
concerned. I understand from the different
controversies that have been carried on b;
different oppononts between Mr. Clark am!
Mr. Hogg that the railroad employes wer«
averse to Mr. Hogg on account of his Denison
speech and would vote against him. Possibly
Mr. Hogg mado tho remark that all raMroad
employes are "peons." We will give Mr. Hogg
the benefit of the doubt, becnuse I do not
think that ho meant it in that way. I also un-
derstand that Mr. H^gg made tho remark,
which I doubt, that the employes of the differ-
ent railroads in Texas wore iu favor of him,
but were afraid to express their preference in
the matter for fear of losing their situations.
I will speak for mysolf and tho different em-
ployes of the International and Great North-
ern road in Galveston. We have never been
approached, neither have I approached any
man that is working for me and ask him how
he affiliated in tho gubernatorial controversy.

The best articles never fail

is cheap, depend upon it, if
not injurious to health, you
will find it comparatively
