The excitement this week over the Artesian well has stopped every other thought, but this abeyance is pregnant with well founded hopes of a tremendous spring in the early fur-ture. If you want to invest, Invest now. Plenty of pure water means health, beauty, manufactories, work shops, railroads—in fact everything that is worth living for. But Waco is just in the attitude of a fellow who has drawn the capital priee, she is dazed and fails to realize her good luck. There will soon be an awakening thought and she will leap ahead of all competitors. The free water idea is taking shape and will be a reality. Waco as a city can well afford to invest $100,000 in free water, one-half that sum will get it. The citizens as individuals could and would willingly raise a handsome sum to help the city buy Moore and Bell wells. The city owes eter-nal gratitude to those men for their pluck and energy and they should not be allowed to loose anything. If free water costs $500,000 we can’t afford to loose it now. The Grand Trunk is a certainty, the Brazos Valley hopeful, the ice may any day be broken, then look out for a boom. Some of the properties added to our last this week: 43 lots on Webster, Clay, Boss and Cleveland on Hogan and Bell Hills ranging from $200 to $600 per lot; 7 acres near Artesian well,cheap; lands in the Panhandle counties, 19,320 acres in a solid body, fenced and improved; ten 100 acres farms in McLennan county, two story house, plenty of water and splendidly improved; 190 to exchange for cattle or horses; 1280 acres in Crocket county at $1 per acre to exchange forMcLennan county laud 2500 acres in Hamilton county, splen-didly improved; improved farm 3 miles south of McGregor; 160 acre farm near Valley Mills. Call at office and see our list—We will show you some fine fresh bar-gains never offered before. Look at our city property. Leave word at the office and we will call for you and your wife and show you city property that three months from now will be worth from 50 to 100 per cent more than we ask for it. Don’t foraret our cheap money. Just as this goes to press the follow-ing piece of property is placed on our books: A number of ten-acre blocks in the western suburbs, fine building cites, price $200 per acre. THE MIND , READERS. Go. to G. W. McLaughlin’s for fat chickens, turkeys, fresh eggs and but-ter. He has a large poultry yard and you can alwavs get from him fine, fat healthy poultry at the lowest market prices. * Buy your lottery tickets of Geo. Campbell. t A. Short History of a People to Whom Speaking Is a Lost Art. Some three centuries before Christ one of the Parthian kings of Persia, of the dynasty of the Arsacidae, un-dertook a persecution of the soothsay-ers and magicians in his realms. These people were credited with super-natural powers by popular prejudice, but in fact were merely persons of es-pecial gifts in the way of hypnotizing, mind reading, thought transference and such arts, which they exercised for their own gain. Too much in awe of the soothsay-ers to do them outright violence, the king resolved to banish them, and to this end put them, with their families, on ships and sent them to Ceylon. When, however, the fleet was in the neighborhood of that island, a great storm scattered it and one of the ships, after being driven for many days he-fore the tempest, was wrecked upon one of an archipelago of unhabited islands far to the south, where the survivors settled. Naturally the pos-terity of parents possessed of such pe-culiar gifts had developed extraor-dinary psychical powers. Having set before them the end of evolving a new and advanced order of humanity, they had aided the devel-opment of these powers by a rigid system of stirpiculture. The result was that after a few centuries mind reading became so general that language fell into disuse as a means of communicating ideas. For many generations the power of speech still remained voluntary, but gradually the vocal organs had be-come atrophied, and for several hun-dred years the power of articulation had been wholly lost. Infants for a few months after birth did, indeed, still emit inarticulate cries, but at an age when in less advanced races these cries began to be articulate, the chil-dren of the mind readers developed the power of direct mental vision and ceased to attempt to use the voice. The fact that the existence of the mind readers had never been found out by the rest of the world was ex-plained by two considerations. In the first place the griup of islands was small and occupied a corner of the Indian ocean quite out of the or-dinary track of ships. In the second place the approach to the islands was rendered so desperately perilous by terrible currents and the maze of out-lying rocks and shoals that it was next to impossible for any ship to touch their shores save as a wreck. No ship at least had ever done so in the 2,000 years since the mind readers’ own arrival.—Harper’s Magazine.

Telegraphic Miscellany Care-fully Culled From Sundry Sources. A Deliberate Suicide. Burnet, Tex., March 22.—Mayor Y. Morgan of our city having been missing since last Thursday afternoon, the citizens to-day began a search for him, when City Marshal Darhant found him in the attic of the courthouse, stiff and cold in death. He was lying on his back with a razor in his left hand and his jugular vein severed, and a terrible gash cut in his throat. He had pulled off his hat, collar and neck-tie and placed them with some papers in his hat which was sitting close to him. He also pulled off his shoes and coat, and every indication showed that he deliberately proposed to commit the rash act of self destruction. At the coroner’s inquest the testimony showed that he had committed suicide. He left no letter nor anything to show what caused him to commit the act. The general opinion is that the deed was done in a moment of temporary insanity caused by spinal affections. The deceased was a man well liked by all, and was a candidate for mayor at the April election, with a favorable chance for being re-elected. His re-mains were taken in charge of by the Odd Fellows, and will he interred by that order to-morrow. He was about 35 years of age, and originally of Fair-mont, W. Va., where his relatives reside. An Officer’s Criminal Haste. Houston, Tex., March 22.—This morning Policeman Richart shot and killed a young colored man named William Hunter. Hunter worked for the navigation company, and being late was going to work in a run. A colton hook in his roar pocket caused his coat to pertrude and Kichart thought he had committed some crime and was fleeing. He commanded him to halt, but the order was disobeyed and Richart fired two shots at Hunter, one of which struck the fleeing victim in the leg severing the femoral artery and causing him to bleed to death in two hours. Richart is in jail and the examining trial will he held to-morrow. East Texas yellow yams at Joe Thompson’s. Will Sue El Paso for Damages. El Paso, Tex., March 22.—The party retained in jail here charged with being S. G. Montague, the forger, proves to be ex-Mayor Rose, of Kissim-mee, Fla. Leading citizens suspected his innocence and had gone on his bond, and to-day the proof from New Orleans was so clear that he was re-leased. His incarceration was mainly due to the alleged conduct of police-man Carberson, and suit for heavy damages will be brought against the city and railroad for the arrest. Rose receives attention from prominent citi-zens to-night. A Famous Trio. They were all Boston boys, and neighbors, playmates and constant comrades. Appleton was a man of re-markable wit and quaint originality, with strong literary and artistic tastes, which, however, did not reach the point of high creative power. A syb-aritic temperament, favored by pros-perous circumstance, held him satis-fled all his life within the conservative circle of the most delightful social companionship, in which the wonder was that the latent forces of his nature took no definite and enduring form, so that “Tom Appleton” remains only a marvelous memory, a man tenderly beloved in life, and now affectionately remembered. Butin him, as in the others, were the stern old Puritan conscience and truth fulness, a scorn of dishonor and indi-rectness, yet blended with such suavity and accomplishment, such grace of mind and rectitude of life ana delight in refined enjoyment, that in no other group of friends in New England, prob-ably, were the characteristics and en-gaging qualities of Puritan and Cava- Her more happily combined. Their careers were widely severed, although Boston was always their home. Phil-lips passed on to the renown of a great orator and leader in one of the noblest causes in history; Motley won the highest laurels of literature in the works which record the defense and development of liberty in Holland; Appleton placidly drifting with the current of his time, watched with the keenest interest and admiration the cause of both, and if perhaps he some-times felt, with Browning’s Pictor Ignotus, I could have painted pictures like that youth’s men praise so. there was no hint in word or manner that he regretted any prize he had not won. Long after the college days, and after Motley’s first unprosperous literary ventures and his diligent study in Europe, he sent Appleton the sheets of his “History of the Dutch Repub-lie.” Appleton received them in New-port, where he read them with de-light, and one morning, bursting into the room of a friend, he exclaimed, with unwonted enthusiasm, “I’ve read it all, and, by Jove, Motley has done it at last!”—George William Curtis in Harper’s Magazine.
