Texas Cattle Boom Faces Expanding Population Pressure
From Texas' vast cattle empire to northern markets, the article details 3.8 million head across 950 000 cows and 1.9 million yearlings on plains of about 152 million acres. It chronicles major ranches, vast river basins, and single owners like Richard King and Robideaux, while noting outbound drives to Abilene and Schuyler, massive financing, and the looming threat of population growth eroding grazing land. It ends with a warning that Texas may lose its status as a grazing state within years if land loss continues.

Warning Against Indiscriminate Use Of Patent Medicines
An explanatory note from a firm of druggists urges caution about the growing variety of patent medicines sold by quacks. It argues most are useless or dangerous, aggravating diseases and shorten lives, and offers strictly pure family medicines with published formulas as a safer, physician advised alternative.
