It LOOKSL|KEA RAILROAD
1t last our Hopes Seem About
tobe Realized.
They are Securing Right Of Way.

@NSy
Hot Springs has been no little torn
up for the last week owe. the prospect
of an early realization of their hopes for
a railroad.
Onllast week Thursday General Man.
ager Of the F. E. & NJ. ", H. G. Burt,
arrived at Hot Springs and for a couple
of days was engaged in looking over q
previous survey through the town and
in conference with some Of our leading
citizens. The result was that on Sat-
urday a paper was presented to our
citizens asking that the right Of way
through the town and depot grounds be
guaranteed to the company without
cost to them.
To facilitate matters a large meeting
was held at the school house Saturday
evening.
DIR. A. s. Stewart was elected chair
man and S. r. Wilson secretary.
DIR. Stewart stated the object Of the
meeting and invited Mr.. Burt TO state
to the assemblagehi his proposition which
was that Hot Springs furnish right of
way and depot grounds; he also stated
his views with reference to the extend
ing Of their line 10 Hot Springs. Mr..
Burt said that for himself he was IA
vorable to the building Of their road to
the Springs, but he could not speak for
his company; but if the people of the
Springs extended a helping hand in the
the matter of right of way and depot
grounds it might help matters along
somewhat.
1t "a unanimously declared that
the proposition of Mr.. Burt was a very
reasonable one and committee consist
ing of A. S. Stewart, w. p. Phillips, s.
E. Wilson, j. l.. Burke and w. E. Ben.
edict was appointed to take charge OF
the matter and secure if necessary al.
ditional pledges from the citizens.
The committee secured the amount
of help necessary and on Monday the
guarantee was submitted to Mr.. Burt
, Acorps Of surveyors arrived on Mon
; day and proceeded at once to survey
3. the line.
; 1t is proposed to erect depot an,
: freight houses or the fiat opposite Pet
3 ty Bros. lower barn, between the NJ. E
church and the river.
: Right of way has been secured acros
. Messrs. Trimmer's, o. Ferguson's, ID. I
t J~ackson's, Jas. Orr's south of town an,
t through the property of the Hot Spring
: Company in addition to that through
e the original town. Mr.. Evans gener
ously gives right Of way through hi
property.
1t looks like a railroad very decided,
S and the STAR believes that inside O
f ninety days the shrek of the iron hors
h will be heard in the valley of Fall Rive,
). The STAR r%ejoices in one thing and tina
is that in this movement the whole O
r Hot Springs is united There seems to b
a generous spirit controlling everybody
The uppermost sentiment being tod
the best for the town Of Hot Spring!
The location of the depot is admirabl,
n 1t is just where it should be. 1t is tn
connecting link between the two end
of our town.

White Hair Turned Black.

The patient was a woman aged 70,
who had had snow white hair for
twenty years. For the symptoms of
commencing uramia, due to contract
ed kidney, twenty to thirty minins of
extract of jaborandi were prescribed
several times daily. The drug was
taken from October, 1885, to Febru-
airy, 1888. During the autumn of
1887, the eyebrows. were. becoming
darker and the hair of the head be-
came also darker in patches. This
continued until the patches of hair
were quite dark, contrasting with the
natural patches of snow white hair.
The hair did not universally change
before her death.
In 1881 DR.. Prentiss had published
another case of kidney disease, pyelo-
nephritis, treated with pilocarpine.
The hair of the patient, lady aged
25, changed from light blonde to black
under the influence of the drug. The
pilocarpine was administered hypo-
dermically (one-sixth of a grain TWEEN
ty-two times in the course of two
months; the dose was then increased.
In one month after commencing the
treatment the hair changed from a
light blonde to a chestnut brown; four
months later it was almost a pure
black" It is satisfactory to find that,
eight years afterward, the hair is again
a dark brown. DR.. Prentiss ascribes
the phenomenon to the jarborandi and
its active principle, pilocarpine.
Cases where, as the result of the in
fuence of the nervous system, in pain
or fright, the hair has changed color,
are pathological curiosities. So little
is known, however, of the physiolog
ical influence of the nervous system
over the growth and putrition of hair
that it is at present quite impossible to
understand how drug administered
internally can alter the color of the
hair. 1t would be interesting to learn
from other practitioners who have used
jaborandi or pilocarpine for an ex-
tended period, whether any change
in the color of the hair has been no
ticed.-Therapeutic Gazette.
