From Battles School! House.

Editor PICAYUNE: As l have never written any for your paper will you allow me space in your next issue: wish to speak something concerning the future happiness of our young people.
 Young people all attention give And hear what 1 shall say;
 Your joys on earth shall soon be done, Your bodies to the dust return"
 As your life is but span you should give the most earnest thought to your future happiness. While there are great many things upon which your future happiness may de- pend, yet there is one thought that l wish to impress upon your minds.
 Man is a peculiar being in every respect, and though he is the wisest of all Gods people, still he will make mistakes. There never was man created but what there was woman created for him. But the thought which wish to impress upon your mind is, be very careful whom ye wed A great deal of your future happiness hinges upon this. l re- member when was boy it was one of the most shocking scenes to sec husband and wife separate; now it seems to be very common. And &C., cording to the Scriptures it is great sin. So let me as one who loves you advise you to be very careful whom ye wed. A person just as we'll be tormented at once as to marry one whom they do not love. 1 have known this to be the fact in my lat ter days. P. NJ. HONEA.

Arkansas Industrial University.

F. NJ. Goar, Dean of the Law De- partment of the Arkansas Industrial University, located at Fayetteville, was with us Tuesday in the interest of that Institution. He reports the University in better condition and with fairer prospects than ever be- fore. The number of enrolled stu dents for 1889, 529; for 1890, 63l. The University has class room for 1900 students. Tuition free to 1000 beneiiciaries of both sexes, dstribu- ted to the several counties, according to population. Nevada county is en- titled to l7 benefciaries.
 Young men of grit and industry can obtain a thorough and practical education in Agriculture, Mechani- cal Arts, Scientific and Classical, for the small sum of from Sl00 to $150 per session of 9 months, all told, i, board, clothing, books and all other necessary expenses. Young ladies and law students not exceeding s2O0 per session.
 Male students Claw students ex- cepted) are required to work three hours per day at agriculture and mechanical pursuits, for which they receive 10 cents per hour cash in hand. The University is maintained by the State and National govern ments, and offers a thorough, practi- cal and classical education to 1000 of the sons and daughters of the State of Arkansas, without money and without price.

A SCIENTIFIC sKEPTIC.

1t is reported from Washington that
DIR. Fernow. chief of the foresty division
of the agricultural departments, states
with degree of positiveness that rain
can not be produced by artificial pro-
cesses. In proof of his declaration he
cites the explosion of one hundred tons
of gunpowder at the Dupont works a
few months ago without causing a
single drop of rain to fall. The doctor
is a scientist of some note, but for his
own credit he ought to produce some
evidence in support of his theory that
has something of an argument in it. There
is very little in the Dupont incident,
granting that no rain followed in the
immediate vicinity. 1t has never been
stated that there was no precipitation
within radious of fifty miles of the point
where the explosion took place, which
is the limit OF the effects Of the mid-air
explosions. Aud, besides, the gunpow-
der was on the ground enclosed within
strong walls of masonry which neces-
sarily broke the force of the conclusion:
whereas the rain-making explosions are
made far above the earth and with moth
ing to prevent the full force of the con-
cussion upon the atmosphere.
But the strongest argument in favor of
the rain-making theory. and one that
can not be successfully met. is the fact
that experiments have brought practical
results. at Midland. Tex. and near Chev-
enne, Wyo. 1t is not claimed. nor is it ex-
pected dthatexperiments will bring rain ev-
cry time they are made-the atmospheric
conditions may not be such as to admit
of it-but it has already been sufficiently
demonstrated to establish the correctness
of the theory until it shall be disproved
by a uniform series Of failures hereafter.

of this week at Goodland.

THREATHENED INDICTMENTS.

The EAGLE contained lengthy editor
ial short time since setting forth the
disastrous results to Kansas of the meth
DDS of the western traffic associations.
1t seems that the article was timely for
now comes word that the authorities at
Washington have directed United States
Attorney Ady to procure an indictment
in the United States court at Wichita
against the Transmissouri association for
notorious violations2 of the Interstate
commerce law by indiscriminate and
unjust manipulation of freight rates.
Under the operations of these traffic
associations, as the EAGLE asserted, Kan
sas commerce is Systematically bled and
all her towns crippled in the interest of
outside and distant commercial centers
The managers of the roads seem utterly
powerless to protect the interests of the
territories in whose prosperity these
roads must look for life and business.
Prosperity of Kansas and of her counties
means prosperity for the railroads of
Kansas, yet these roads permit the most
outrageous Determinations through traf-
fic associations, which not only domi-
nate the roads but which. evidently. con-
troll the decisions of the interstate COM
missioners who are but so many putty
men and who ought to be indicted along
with the members of the traffic asscia-
ton. All the decisions of that board are
but series of twisted ifs and provisos.
There is no possible discrimination that
can be thought of so one sided but that
the commissioner will twist it around
Cape Horn and along the dry sands of
the bed of the Missouri river until it is
found to be in strict conformity with
the letter and spirit of the law. Indict
the commissi oners also.
