JoNEsBoRo, June 26.-Our sister town,
Paragould, had small fire Saturday night
last. They had the misfortune 20 to lose
their skating rink. 1t was thought to have
been the work OF an incendiary. Fortu-
nately no other damage was done. Some
OF the citizens of the place had been
greatly annoyed with the rink, and it is
believed that some of them set q torch
to it.
The prospect for bountiful CROPS in this
section was never more promising than
now. Every few days we have warm, gem
tie rains, just what is needed to make cot
ton, corn, potatoes and all other products
grow. 1t is safe to say that this will be
one OF the best years the farmers have had
for many.
Improvements in Jonesboro continue.
The trustees of this school district are now
getting up plan for fine public school
building. The house is to be two-story
brick to cost $1,000. The contract will be
given out as soon as q plan can be adopted
and the house will be pushed to compile
ton. A beautiful lot has been secured in
the southern part of the town, and when
the building is finished it will add much
to the appearance Of that portion of the
town.
The spring and summer term of Mrs
FriersOn' g school closes to-day. A public
examination of the pupils was had yester-
day, which reflected great credit upon Mrs
krierSon's management of tho school. The
exercises will close tonight with an exhi-
bition which promises, from what 1 have
heard OF the programme, IN be az. -i iintt5i
iectual treat. Mrs Ericsson has built VI
good school, and her patrons are much
pleased with the manner in which she
conducts it.
Preparations for our Fourth-of-July cele
bTation are about completed, and we an
ticipate a day of much pleasure and enjoy
ment. The Hon. John b. Boykin, O
Paragould, will deliver an Grafton. a
match game of baseball between the
Jonesboro and some other club will bC
among the attractions.
Very little sickness in and around the
town.
Mrs. J. NJ. Simmons, of Vanndale, hal
been here several days, visiting relatives
a. NJ. Davis has Just returned from
business "Trip to Louisville, KY. His mothe
and sister, Of that city, accompanied hin

Letter from sen. Augur Regarding the
Alleged Cheyenne Outbreak.

in receipt Of the following letter:

Topeka, Ks, June 27.-The Governor is
in receipt Of the following letter:
FoRT LEAvENwoRTH, Ks, June 26, 1885.
To the Governor ofKansas.
have had the honor to receive your
eXcellency's letter OF yesterday. In view
OF the late reports in the newspapers con-
cerning the alleged breaking out OF the
Cheyennes ! am not surprised at your
anxiety about the counties bordering On
the Indian Territory. am happy to assure
you that in my judgment, founded upon
the latest report from Fort Reno and the
canto1ment, that no immediate danger TO
any portion Of your State is 20 be appre-
hepded from the Cheyennes or any other
Indians. There has recently been a good
deal of excitement among the Cheyennes
and some Of their young men have been
lnsubordinate, and in some instances have
behaved very badly. This indicates among
Indians who have been quiet on reserva-
ton Tor SO many years that there exists
somewhere what they Conceive TO be a
grievance. The government has appointed
a commission to ascertain whether
or not they have Just cause of
complaint. Ii the commission find
they have, the government will undoubt-
eddy correct it. lit finds they have not, it
is equally certain the government will take
efficient steps to reduce them to sdbmis-
SION, and it is believed with sufficient force
and preparations to confne whatever
trouble may result to the limits OF the In
dian Territory. Should anything occur,
which there is reason to believe, threaten
ing danger to any portion of the citizens
of your State on the border, l shall not
only inform you at once but will do all in
my power to avert it. 1 filed a copy OF a
telegram received last night, which shows
that the Cneyennes will be glad to meet
the commission. l am with greatest respect
your excellency's most obedient servant,

ELECrR1oAL REss.

But little while ago it was a matter
Of conjecture and dispute whether the
electric light would prove to be of prae-
teal benefit. To-day so decided is its
success that Wall street is admitting its
stocks to be a new field for Investment.
A lsrge capital has been expended in the
business, and the use of the lights is
rapidly extending to towns and cities. a
pamphlet Just issued, upon the sub
ject in its commercial aspect, shows
that, wherever managed with ordinary
business skill, good returns are made
on the capital invested. The New York
Indicator says: at is a matter admitting
Of no dispute that there is a good profit
TO be secured, with scarcely any risk in
,7oiyed, in the business of furnishing
electric lights for general street and in
terror illumination from central lighting
stations; properly constructed and man
aged, under the American system
The security offered and the profits to be
derived from this business, under proper
management, are not exceeded by those
of the best gas or railroad securities.
The demand for electric lights Is growing
daily, so that the field is steadily broaden
ing" AS the French say, electric lighting
now ranks among les fats accomplis, fixed
facts. 1t was thought on the first intro
duetiOn of the lights that they would
grove SO much cheaper than gas that
they would wholly supereede it. So far
this has not proved to be the case,
but the scientists do not admit that the
system has reached its limit. Electricity
has many aspects, and all the possibilities
of It's application to practical uses have
not yet been reached. Ia consequence
of this, investigation and experiment are
still pursued, and the electric light may
yet prove the eonqgeror over both coal
and water gas. The use Of electricity as
. motive power for railroads is
now in the same condition as its
application for lighting purposes was not
a very lons time ago. To the develop
nent and practical application of that
mower scientists and inventors are giving
profound attention. Whether the same
success will be secured as IL lighting
go ... n He future. but the spien5id
80 II one department supplies
,trong hopes for equally good fortune IN
ne other. We may, possibly some day,
travel in cars propelled, Lighted ana
warmed By electricity, and send ana re-
cesve telegraphic messages, forwarded By
electricity, while we are occupying oul
seats il, the train.

EUROPEAN LAND-GRABBIAa.

The greed for extension Of territory Is
still manifesting itself among the Eu-
ropean powers. Germany is consolidat-
ing its extensive seizures. and as the de-
crease of public lands in this country Of
fers less attraction for German emigrants
than formerly, it is not unlikely, if with
a fruitful soil favorable climate be
found, that Germany with its swarming
population may rival England as a
coloniziDg nation. England, with its
immense colonial possessions, is not yet
glutted with territory, and it has just
added to its possessions a country as large
as all Spain-Beehuanaland. The terri
tory is 1900 feet above the sea, its climate
Is declared to be healthful, but rains are
scant and streams OF gater few Water,
however, is readily found by digging
wells of a moderate depth. France,
spite of the check it has received in Mad
agascar, and the very doubtful acquisition
it has made in Tonquin, is now preparing
to annex Morocco to its Algerian and
Tunisian acquisitions. Many Of the
chiefs in that country have been bought
over, and some powerful inducements
have persuaded even the Sultan Of Mo
rocco himself to demand French protec-
ton, so the end cannot be tzr of. The
Mediterranean has been called an En-
glish lake but, apparently, is not likely
to remain such. Spain has long regarded
Morocco as a territory certain one day to
be her own, as geographically it is
fitted to be. That power has important
interests in Morocco, and even possesses
several towns there. Spain has more
thar. once given formal notice that, for
France 70 occupy Morocco, would be re-
garded by her as an insult and a threat
Of war. She is trying to arouse the
European powers to oppose French
domination. As those powers them
selves are busy in the same sort Of ag-
gression as that which France is pursu-
ing, poor, sunken Spain stands no chance
against its powerful rival. Morocco is
.ssnssl.4Nohemmedan, its present gov
erument is AK and anarchy prevails
extensively, so thai the population Is
decreasing and the ud4aEtunate people
growing poorer. The settlec .SRle OF a
European country will doubtless &c -
lis advantage.

BatesvtIIe and RrinhIev

Maj. Wm. Black, of BrinkleY, the pro-
jector and the builder of the Batesville and
Brinkley railway, went to Helena last
week to look over the ground in the in
terest Of his new enterprise, OF which he
has already about ten miles completed and
in good running order This road will add
tremendously to the importance of Helena,
and Maj. Back says is certain to be built,
as the people along the line desire it. The
survey has not been established as YET
from MARVEL, where it will cross the Ar
kansas Midland railroad to Helena, but
Mai Black is very much in favor OF striking
out from there through the Trenton
country to Redstone upon the Old Town
ridge and to that city. A surveying party
has been over that part and made most
favorable report, which has had the effect
of producing a fine impression Mai
Black says he has had proposition from
Eastern capitals T to aid him just IS soon
as it was necessary, but if these fai ed he
did not propose to let the matte: alone.
He would build it himself as he had built
the Batesville and Brinkley road, s. ne re-
garded it the best line for railroad he
had ever been connected With.

MRS. DOYLE,
The Coed Woman Whose Name is Forever
Linked with Good Deeds, is Borne to
Her Final Rest
By Large Congregation of Thoroughly
Representative Men and Women from
Every Rank Of Life
And of Every Greed, All anxious to Tes-
tify to the Beseryings of the IN
selfish PhilanthrOpist.

The funeral of Mrs. Margaret DOYLE,
which took place yesterday afternoon from
her residence on Henry avenue, was
largely attended by representative people
from every walk of life and OF every re-
hgious persuasion. Her life was one
crowned with success in doing good, and
the whole city poured out to testify OF her
deservings and show their respect for a
thoroughly practical Christian. The Rev.
DR.. Boggs, pastor of the Second Presby-
terrain church, who had himself remark
able experience in this city during the
epidemic visitations that are now matters
OF history, preached the funeral sermon,
and in all that he said met the expectancy
and realized the wishes of his very large
and influential congregation. Mrs. Doyle
was in every sense of the term a
mother in Israel" She lived to
assuage griefs, to bind up the broken
hearted and carry comfort to the stricken
and the afflicted, and she found her re-
ward in the respect of the community and
the prayers and good wishes of those she
had ministeied to. The orphans Of the
Leath Asylum and all who had felt her
touch, so full of healing and sonl-felt SYM
patty, mourTled for her, and were only
comforted when DR.. Boggs had reeited the
events which form the pedestal of her
fame
