Signal Service Simons.

Sergeant w. u. Simons, of the
signal corps at Little Rock, has
devised a scheme by which all the
towns in Arkansas can be served
with reports concerning the
changes in the weather without
any expense to the persons to
whom such information will be
sent.
The government pays for the
transmfssion of such news to six
points in the state that are situated
OF the railroads, and all roads in
the state are willing to transmit
over their wires all messages free
of cost regarding changes in the
weather, If sent to reliable persons
who will post information in a
conspicuous place, where the pub
lie may obtain the benefit of the
news. H#I.=
There are over 100 towns III the
state that should be supplied with
these reports. Each town should
have cold wave signal and other
flags to denote the changes in the
weather. Nineteen stations along
the Iron Mountain railroad in
this state receive the reports daily,
but none of them were supplied
with flags, Application for these
weather emblems have been re-
ceived from Searey and Fayette-
vile, and on Thursday Hot
Springs ordered a full set Of the
flngs, which will be displayed on
the courthouse of that city at the
predictions require, The flags
are simple and is necessary that
they should be purchased from the
eastern firms that manufacture
them. They can be made by any
person who understands how to
use needle and thread. ,T
In a few days Sergt, Simons,
will make a trip over the state
with view to increasing the system
ofhis Office so that the service may
reach every important town in the
state. He will go first to Knoble,
and from there to Helena, and
then back to- Forrest City and
along the Memphis road to Little
Rock. lie will then go south ON
the Iron Mountain road to Camden
and Texarkanna, thence to Pine
Bluff over the St. Louis, Arkansas
and Texas roak, and if his efforts
are successful he will canvass the
entire state until his object is ac-
complished. = 58r= .a

j. S. BUNKER, a Seventh Day
Adventist arrested in Springfield,
Mo-, last Tuesday for working the
Sunday previous gives the follow
ing terse statement Of the peculiar
religious ideas of his people:
ave hold to the old Jewish
Sabbath which begins with the
going down of the Sun Friday
evening and continues until sun
down Saturday evening. We be-
lieve the second coming Of Christ is
near at hand and that some people
who saw the stars fall in 1883 will
live to see his coming We be-
lieve that then the first resurrec-
ton will occur and the saints will
live with Christ in Heaven for a
thousand years. Then comes the
second resurrection. The wicked
will be annihilated and this earth
will be the permanent abiding
place of the saints I.aI4

REV. MeGlynn, an eastern di-
vine has delivered lecture upon
the labor question in which he adj
vances views which at least have
the merit of novelty. 1t is about
the clearest and ablest statement
that has lately been made of the
issue between the enthusiastic re-
formers and the moro eonserya-
tive and less hopeful portion OF
the community. DR.. MeGlynn's
! fundamental assumption is that
every human being born into the
world has, by the decree of the
Almighty, the right to existence,
shelter, and food, and that if from
natural weakness he cannot obtain
these for himself, it is the duty OF
others more favored to supply
them to him. This he holds to be
the essence of Christianity, while
he denounces the doctrine of the
so-called struggle for existence,
leaving only the strongest to sur
yive, az unehristian and blasphem-
Gus. The reverend gentleman APP
parently does not dispute the fact
that from the earliest ages to the
present time human life has been
Just such battle as he reprobates,
ami he limits himself to declaring
that ii ought not to be SO, and
wonld not be SO il the laws of God
were obeyed. Statistics show that
of the babes annually born into
the world many cost their mothers
their lives, more die in their first
year, and not more than one-ffth
survive their fifth year. Those
that escape death in infancy sue
coed to a heritage of disease, hun
ger, cold, and suffering Of various
kinds, while even The few whom
their fellow beings envy as pros
porous and happy have sorrows
aud vavo4ions which mora pr less
embitter their existence. Is this
state of things remediable? DIR.
SMcGlynn says that it is, and the
denial that it is remediable he calls
the philosophy Of despair. Per-
haps the philosophy of resignation
wculd be a better term, but in any
ease he is squarely opposed to its
acceptance.

S5,012; Liabilities Sl2,339. This
firm had been doing banking
business in That city for several
years past, and held the confidence
Of all the people, so the announce
ment of their failure was rather
an unpleasant surprise, not only
to the business men, but to some
sevsnty-fve visitors and private
citizens who had small deposits
therein. Concerning the suspen-
sion the Times has this to say.
The failure appears to be due to
circumstances and not to reckless
ness or improvident methods of
doing business, nor to speculation
OF fraud. MIR. Cameron's reputa-
ton Is and has been OF the best,
his Financial ability never having
been placed very high, as it was
known that he came here 10 do an
exchange business rather than one
of discount aud Joan, and there

THERE are two reasons why the
people of this section should OPP
pose Legislation antagonistie to
railroads. The first reason is
"a disposition to treat others
somewhat as we would have them
treat us; capitalists have invested
their money in the roads accepting
the restrictions of their charters
and expecting no others, an
attempt to regulate their profits
would be in bad faith. The sec
+ond reason is that as the future OF
North Arkansas depends entirely
upon her railroad facilities, she
would evince poor judgment to as
sistin discouraging the promoters
of the very enterprises from which
she expects so much. Railroad
men are slow enough to invest
their money into Arkansas lines
now. Iut let our Legislature pu'
on the statute books laws to suit
the ideas Of TIE average Wild-eyeC
domagogue and we may postpone
our railroad air-castles indefinite.
