the nerve to cut prices for the “AL-

not only to meet, but also glad to make
the LOWEST PRICES that any of our
alleged “spot cash houses” dare to fol-

strong, honest competition, and we

THE 100,000 MARK.
What is Possible and Probable Within the
Next Twenty Years.
We have been undergoing a de-
pression which every business man
is aware of. No words we can utter
can furthefjimpress that fact upon the
reader. But from the signs on the
horizon we are inclined to believe
that in the near future a change is
coming. The people of Denison
tage over the surrounding country,
and we have it beyond peradventure.
The railways themselves have recog-
nized it, and are contributing to-
wards making it even more so. Den-
ison will yet be the great jobbing
center of north Texas, and the next
twenty years will see her reach a
population of 100,coo. Our first
decade, spent in proving to the
world that we could live, is behind
us like a surplus capital to push us
forward. If a town, expected to
die, can rustle and grow beyond the
all the
must not forget that the first ten
years of her existence was under ad-1 Shined population of
circumstances. We were | t(jwns in the countyt what can a
town do that undoubtedly has the
bulge ou the situation, and knows
verse circumstances. w e were
cramped between . Sherman and the
river; nobody had any faith in our
continuance, anil we had to live just
to prove that we could live. Again,
while all the money received for
town property in Sherman and
Gainesville was immediately turned
back on the town in the way of Im-
provements, the cash realized from
the salty1 of Denison property was
sent out of the town, requiring an-
other lot of money to build the
houses. But we are “getting there
with both feet.” It seems as though
the long-looked-for, long-hoped-for
event was about to happen with
Denison. W e speak of the concen-
tration of railways at this point.
We now have six. The United
States court has ordered the con-
struction of the Denison & North-
ern ; the Choctaw has finished its
reorganization scheme, which in-
cludes an extension to this city ; the
?. A. P. has signified its intention of
I J- proceeding northward; while the
construction of the D., B. N. O.
to Wolfe City is an Assured fact
The construction of
it ? Denison has her pegs set tor a
hundred thousand in the next twenty
years, and dollars to doughnuts that
she gets there.
Memorial Day Observance.
Gen-.- Ivan N. Walker, command-
er-in-chief of the G. A. R., has is-
sued a general order for the observ-
ance of Memorial Day. In accord-
ance with this order G. W. McCor-
mick, department commander, has
issued the following order, No. 2 :

ple such intense emotions ot loyalty and
gratitude as Memorial Day.

there making at least fifty, with a
large number ofj wounded, many of
which will eventually prove fatal.
The storm cam* from the southwest
and seemed to have spent its force
when it reached Carpenter Bluff on
Red river. At the Bluff the dwell-
ing of Dr. Vant was demolished and
four members of the family received
injuries that will probably prove
fatal. The nevfrs of the storm did
not reach this city until after 6
o’clock. There was immediate
action for relief, a number of citizens
ind physicians proceeding to Sher-
man on a special train. There are
so many confused reports that it is
difficult to ascertain the exact extent
of the disaster. Conservative esti-
mation places the number of killed
at between 130 and 150 in the coun-
The death roll will undoubted-
ly go over that when other sections
in the path of the storm are heard
irom.
The iron bridge across Postoak
creek on Houston street, was
carried off and torn to pieces. A
house on the east bank was de-
stroyed and all the inmates killed.
A child was blown across the creek
and several hundred feet beyond
and dashed against the porch of
udge Bryant’s house and instantly
killed.
Captain L. F. Ely’s handsome
brick residence was blown to the
ground. Mrs. Ely saved her own
me anu tne lives or ner two um«-
dren by having the presence of mind
take them! i into a closet built
under the stairway. They were
buried under tons of brick and other
debris. They Only received slight
bruises. Mr. Ely was up town.
Parties with torches were search-
ing Walnut creek all night for dead
bodies. A number of persons are
missing, mostly [children, and they
are in all probability in the creek.
The collar factory, which stood
l the west side of Postoak
creek, was totally destroyed. The
occupants escaped by running out
and getting shelter under the creek
bank.
A Baptist clergyman named
Shearer, an old man who has resided
in Sherman two years, is among the
dead, and his son Ike is badly
bruised but will recover.

THE STORM EAST OK DENISOV.
A. L. Mathes of the Carpenter
Bluff neighborhood came in about
9:30 this morning and reported that
the storm extended through that sec-
tion, destroying considerable prop-
erty and injuring a large number of
people. The storm seemed to have
divided about four miles south of
where Mr. Mathes lives, part going
over the Bluff and the other across
the river at the mouth of Choctaw.
The house and barn of Oscar
Turley were demolished, mules and
other stock killed outright.
Marsh Gaines’ house was de-
stroyed, he and his wife escaping
unhurt.
Amis Turley’s bam was blown
down. Fragments of the structure
were carried to the Darr.ous house,
three hundred yards east, doing
much damage.
Mr. Mathes furnished the Gazet-
teer with the following, which is a
partial list of the injured:
Maggie Davult, leg broken in two
places.
Danue Mathes, collar bone
broken.
Mr. Amour, a carpenter of Deni-
son, leg broken.
Old man Davult, aged So years,
collar bone broken.
Meagre reports came from the
Territory north of that section that
houses, barns and trees were blown
away. No loss of life is reported.
DKNTOV COUNTY.
At Justin one man was killed and
several injured. At Gripple Springs,
north of Denton, three killed and a
dozen wounded. The hamlet was
almost completely demolished.
FARMINGTON.
The destruction for miles south
of Farmington is only partially re-
ported. Ten farm houses and as
many barns were wrecked, and
several injured, but no fatalities are
as yet reported. Many horses and
cattle were killed, and birds and
chickens were stripped of their
EL PASO NOTES.
The following notes were crowd-
ed out last week by advertising pat-
rons :
El Paso is an up-to-date city, with
handsome business blocks, beautiful
residences and dean streets. The
populatio 1 is about 15,000. while
Juarez across the river has 10,000,
and is a typical Mexican town.
Our neighboring town of Green-
ville was selected as the place of
meeting of the association next yea..
F. B. Baillio, of the / Ivarado
Bulletin,was elected president; Sam
Veraoj, of the Comanche Cni'f,
first vice p esident; John G. RanF.1,
of the Brenham Banner, second vice,
and Will J. Sargeant of the Green-
ville News, third vice. W. D. Cox
of the Temple Tribune was re-elect-
ed secretary, and C. F. Lehman of‘
the Halletsville Herald, treasurer.
The editors were never so hospit-
ably entertained anywhere as they
were at El Paso and Juarez. It was
a round of pleasure from start to
finish ; only a person with a strong
constitution could take it all in, but
Texas editors and their wives are
noted for strong constitutions.

Saddler, a few miles from Potts-

as completely wiped out, only the
railroad track remaining. No one
is reported killed.
HOWE.
The tornado struck Howe about
4:30. Its course was northeast, and
swept a path a quarter of a mile
wide. Crops were destroyed on
both sides ot town and many cattle
killed. J. J. Johnson, eight miles
southwest, was badly hurt, and his
wife killed. Six others in that vicin-
ity are reported dead. A great many
houses in Howe were destroyed and
several persons badly hurt.
The saloon ot Pox & O’Brien has re-
ceived a general overhauling the past

agonizing scenes-. Men, women
and children are mangled in every
conceivable manner, legs and arms
broken, bodies pierced with splint-
feet and hands crushed, and
skulls broken. It is horrible.
A close estimate of the number
of killed up to , 10 o’clock Friday
night was 53. A good many are
missing, and it is a conservative es-
timate to place the total dead at 73,
about two-thirds are colored. It is
impossible to get at the number of
wounded. There are, however,
fully 150.
- Mrs. Kohler, wife of Professor
Kohler, well known in Denison, is
reported to be among the injured,
but-not seriously.
The course of the tornado was
northeast, and followed Postoak
creek through the town. In this
portion of the town the houses were
mostly small, fifty or more were
completely wrecked.
House shingles, twigs from trees
and other fragments carried up by
the tornado, fell in the southern
portion of Denison about g o’clock j
Friday evening.
A public meeting was called at
the courthouse Friday night and
■
j three thousand dollars raised to aid
the sufferers. Donations; will not

A friend in Cripple Creek writes
that the town was not quite all
burned up, and it will be a much
better city than ever inside ot six
months. For blocks on every hand
the ground is covered with work-
men, and the streets in the burned
district are full of building material.
Street CommissioneT Howe.
The re-clection of Mr. Howe as street
commissioner is the most satisfactory
piece of legislation done bv the council
Monday night. This is one of the fea-
tures that will at least meet with univer-
sal approval. Mr. Howe has been a faith-
ful servant, and has done more for good
streets than any predecessor. He has
proved himself a useful, active and intelli
gent factor of the city government, and
should be retained as long as he deserved-
ly maintains the present efficiency of
street service.

> 35-tf 122 Main St.
Winn, mayor of this city many
years ago, is assessor of £l Paso
county, and is filling his second
term. He looks well and inquired
about all his old Denison friends.
Ex-Conductor A. W. Spencer is
engaged in the retail grocery busi-
ness in El Paso. He has acquired
enough of the Spanish language to
enable him to sell at a profit, and
distinguish between a peso and a
sound dollar of 100 cents.
Leo Burckel, brother of Charley
is tending bar in Juarez, Mexico.
Isaiah Weston, an old man well
known in Texas sporting circles,
twenty years ago, is living in El
Paso. He has got religion and quit
dealing monte and looking upon the
wine when it is read, so he inform-
ed the Gazetteer representative.
A late frost, something unusual in
that latitude, did considerable dam-
age to the fruit crop in the El Paso
valley and in the Mesilla valley,
forty miles up the river, the large
vineyards suffered severely, so “El
Paso grapes” will be high this year.
J. D. Shaw, of Waco, lectured in
El Paso Thursday night on the sub-
ject of Liberalism, to a good house.
The notorious A. P. A. fraud,
Hix, delivered one of his vulgar ha-
rangues on the streets of El Paso
some months ago. He met with
such poor encouragement that he
pulled his freight the next day, it
was thought for California.
The Texas editors will never for-
get Major Ferrel, Collector Davis,
Captain Beall and Collector Bauch
and their co-laborers, who were un-
tiring in contributing to the enjoy-
and Juan' Hart, teliovT crafts mfcri,’
conld not do too much for their
brother editors, and if they slept
du mg the festivities no one found it
out.
Several of the Texas ladies en-
gaged in a burro ride to the loothills
of Mount Franklin Wednesday
morning before breakfast. They
had no end of fun trying to steer the
stubborn little animals, who persist-
ed in going the wrong way. Two
of the ladies had the pleasure of
walking back, a wild burro stamped-
ing tneir animals, who returned to
town on a trot, after dumping their
burdens in the sand.
None of the visitors had to walk
if they didn’t want to. Every hack
was at their disposal, and they were
to be found at every hotel and at the
opera house during the sessions.
Several bright little boys acted as
pages, and vied with each other in
attention to the wants of the city’s
guests.
On the trip to the location of the
proposed dam one of the ladies of
the editorial party lost her gold
watch. She thought she must have
lost it in getting off the car. It is
hardly necessary to state that this
misfortune deprived her of the en-
joyment of the remainder of her
visit. •
The Texas editors will ever feel
grateful to General Passenger Agent
Meslier, of the Texas A: Pacific
railroad, for the courtesies extended
them on this trip. They traveled
over this great road from Dallas to
the Rio Grande. The road is finely
equipped, and they were treated
with uniform courtesy by every offi-
cial and employe with whom they
came in contact. Those who desire
a change of scene for health or re-
creation could scarcely select a jour-
ney of more interest than to visit the
novel city of El Paso and the typi-
cal Mexican city across the river.
As a health resort there is none bet-
ter, and there is no end to the sur-
prises for those who have never had
the pleasure of visiting our neigh-
boring republic. On the first of the
present month a fasUJrain was put
on,, which makes the entire trip be-
tween Fort Worth and El Paso in
twenty-four hours, a distance of
about six hundred miles. This is
fast traveling.
The subject that is paramount to
all others with the El Paso people
is the projected international dam.
It would make a reservoir covering
forty-five square miles, and extend-
ing up the river a distance of twenty
miles, or half way to Las Cruces.
It is estimated that it would hold
water enough to irrigate 300,000
acres and furnish 5000 horse-power
to each side of the river. Consider-
ing the millions of dollars that would
find rapid investment in consequence
of its construction, the cost of the
work is a small matter. A resolu-
tion in regard to this enterprise,
adopted by the Press Association, is
published elsewhere in this paper.

F. G. DAVIS.
One of the Most Skilled Plumbers in the
Southwest.
When bogus workmen are so
plentiful and good workmen so
scarce, it is a pleasure to welcome to
our city a gentleman who carries
with him all the credentials of a
first-class workman. F. G. Davis,
formerly of Memphis and late of
New Orleans, has accepted a posi-
tion with the plumbing establish-
ment of Campbell & Co., No. 116
N. Rusk avenue. Mr. Davis lately
had entire charge of the sanitary and
plumbing department of the St.
Charles hotel, New Orleans. The
plant cost $50,000. Mr. Davis bears
from the proprietors of the St.
Charles a letter which testifies to his
efficiency as a skilled workman. It
is a flattering testimonial that any
man might feel proud of. Mr. Davis
left New Orleans to accept a flatter-
ing proposal in Mexico, but was
obliged to change his plans and
stopped off here. If a workman of
Mr. Davis’ ability can find sufficient
encouragement it is his intention to
locate permanently in our city.

he was to present to Texas several

Building Up a Town
Makes real estate valuable. It can
be done only by using products
manufactured in the town, and when
the product is superior to any com-
ing from elsewhere it benefits the
consumer. Therefore all sensible
people are using the White Lily-
soap which is the best soap and the
cheapest, because the cakes are
larger than any other and made from
tallow instead of cotton oil refuse—
it does outwash any other soap on
the market. Try it. qi-St

Dr. Feild and Organized Labor.
The unanimity of sentiment in
this city in favor of Dr. Feild for
the legislature is truly remarkable,
though we occasionally come across
a man who is crossways. The other
day we heard a man remark that
while he was willing to admit the
doctor would make a conscientious
working member, yet he had heard
that he was an opponent of organ-
ized labor, and did not think he
could vote for him on that account.
As this was contrary to the Gazet-
teer’s opinion of the doctor’s posi-
tion on the labor question, formed
from nearly a quarter of a century’s
acquaintance, on meeting him a few
day’s later a representative of the
paper propounded this question to
him:
“Doctor, what is there in the re-
port that you are opposed to organ-
ized labor?”
After expressing surprise that any-
one should make such a charge, he
continued: “There is absolutely no
truth in it. I am distinctly in favor
of laborers organizing to protect
themselves against the encroach-
ments of organized and accumulated
capital. In fact, it is the only way
in which they have to , defend their
interests. Arbitration under a bill
which will give legal effect to the
findings of a board of arbitration
will, in my opinion,‘come nearer to
giving relief to the grievances which
may and will arise from time to time
than any method that I have seen
suggested. I authorize you to de-
clare this absurd charge that I am
opposed to organized labor as utter-
ly false.”
This is in accordance with the
Gazetteer’s opinion of the doc-
tor’s position on the labor question,
and ought to settle the matter.
