Items Of Interest Concerning the
Health and Prosperity Our
Border City.
Willow BEHD, Ark,
Nov. 2, 1892
ED. TRIBUNE:
During my quite extended tour
through North Arkansas, there was
no place I saw that impressed me as
much on account Of its Importance
as the city Of Yocum, and for the
benefit OF your many readers 1 will
tell, or try to tell, il words do not
fail me what / saw and heard
while sojourning in that city.
Your correspondent arrived at
the city o, Yocum Tuesday, Nov. l.,
and was cared for by the genial
wholesouled host.of the Metropolitan
and wish to here romark in paren-
thesis (any one going to the city
of Yocum will loose one of the Joys
of his life if no fails to stop at the
Metripolotan). This hosiery is
quite new having been erected in
the last few months on the site of the
old Occidental, and is large and
commodious in all departments.
On Wednesday morning at S
o'clock a. m., l arose clothed my
self and proceeded to those health
giving springs, the pride of every
citizen Of that populous city. The
first to which we paid our respects
was the famous Jenny Lind, and l
wish to say the kiss from the waters
of this beautiful spring was as sweet
as the soul stirring strains of"Home
Sweet Homc," when they came
from the lips of the Queen Of song.
We visited in succession all Of that
beautiful cluster of lite giving foun-
tains, the Ceronel, st Phebe, Zimri
and Tum -Tum.
We then proceeded to breakfast
which was like the fruits from the
garden OF Kish Mish. After hav !.
ing dined at the average hash house
of Northern Arkansas, we then pro-
ceodcd to take in the sites and
scenes of the city. The first place
we visited was the site OF the pro-
posed National Bank building to be
erected in the near future by Nom.

that here in North Arkansas found

Although we have delayed our

i, is not news this morning (Friday)
to announce to the people that De-
mocracy triumphs throughout the
axsion and that Cleveland and Ste

greatest states in the Union, Joined
with the South to accomplis this
grand triumph of the candidates

In, addition to the States swept
by Democracy must be counted
those which repudiated the protec-
tive tariff without adopting entire
the Democratic faith. Kansas,
which in 1888 gave Harrison $4,000
majority, declared for the candidate
of the third party. Nebrask Ore
gon and Nevada likewise rejected
Harrison and protection and
sought place in the Weaver col.

The Republican disastersis not

PASTURAGE.
One of the Problems Demanding the At
tentiOn of Farmers,

One of the Problems Demanding the At
tention of Farmers.
Many problems are now pressin q
themselves upon the attention of the
farmers for solution
Among these we desire to call after
ton to one which we think lies at the
very foundation Of all successes Tenn
porary prosperity may be achieved
without attention to pasturage. But
nothing like permanent prosperity can
be had if this is neglected Horses and
mules cost about what they are worth
10 keep each year if fed on corn and
fodder. Twelve months of good feed
ing will cost about one hundred dollars
per head. Hence it is easy to see where
a great part of the expense is. The
acreage of southern land produces
about ten bushels of corn per acre.
This will be ten acres to feed each horse
on. Then the farmer must get his share
to live on by cultivating enough to paw
for the work and the ground, and feed
his family outside of this ten acres for
the horse.
The COW eats less expensive food, but
if she has to be fed by hand, will soon
eat as much as she is worth
few minutes reflection on this line
will show that we must find cheaper
way to feed. In all prosperous farming
countries stock keeping and cattle rails
ing are considered essential to keeping
up the condition of the soil But this can
not be done without cheap food. 1t costs
much more to feed an animal than to let
the animal feed itself Hay is very
much cheaper than corn and fodder
and much healthier. One acre of clover
or Bermuda or sorghum, or two acres
of most of the cultivated grasses, will
weld enough hay to feed an animal a

DANGEROUS SKILL
A Burglar Opens Treasury Vault When
the Officials Could Not.

A Burglar Opens a Treasury Vault When
the Officials Could Not.
About six months ago an order ar
rived at the sub-treasury directing the
treasurer to have all the time locks on
the vaults cleaned. Among those that
were taken out was one on reserve
vault containing twelve million dollars
in silver. From the lock on the door to
this vault the locksmith took only such
parts needed to be cleaned, leaving the
rest in the door.
When the vault was closed the tum.
blers fell into their places, the "catch"
of the time lock, or the part that was
left, caught all right, and the door was
securely locked. So securely locked, in
fact, that it was found impossible to
open it again, for the part of the time
lock that should relea Sc the catch on
the inside was outside in the hands of
the locksmith.
The combination knob was turned
this way and that, and everything that
would in any way tend to loosen the
bolt was done, but to no effect The
locksmith even wen t so far as to put
plank against the door and pound away
with sledge in the hope that some
thing would give away, but still the
door remained securely closed, and as
there was really no necessity to open
the vault the treasury seal was placed
on the door and things remained as they
were.
1t became apparent that something
had to be done, however, and it havin o
been learned that Billy Ensign was
in town, he was hunted up. Ensign is
the well-known cracksman, whose won
derful ability to pick locks has more
than once landed him in prison, and the
propriety of calling him in was consid-i
cred at some length before it was de-
cided to resort to his skill
BILLY" went into the sub-treasurv
yesterday morning and at once set to
work. He tinkered with the combina-
ton knob for awhile, and then, getting
down to business, put his ear against
the door and began slowly to turn the
knob back and forth, listening intently
to the clicks of the tumblers as they
fell into their places.
How he did it no one of the bystand-
ers could determine, but it is certain
that his manipulation of the knob af-
fected the time lock in some way, for
he suddenly Strengthened up, grabbed
the lever that moves the steel bolts and
giving it quick, sharp jerk, the door
swung open before the astonished
clerks.
Ensign knew nothing about the lock
when he started in TO open the door

THE Albuquerque Democrat indulges
 in column of adulation of Jefferson
 Davis in response to a suggestion from
 the Citizen that recollection of Gen.
 Weaver's valor in the late war inspir- ed those who revere the confederate leaders memory to cast stale eggs at the General. The citizen was proba- bly, correct in its premises, but right or wrong, the country needs no educa- tion on Jefferson Davis, and the labor ofthe Democratin that line is worse than wasted The careful reverence of the Democrats allusion to Davis as 'Jef- ferson" and the undisguised sheer of it's reference to General Weaver as "Jim," is strong evidence that it cher- ishes some of that hatred of Union soldier of which its colleagues in Macon made such notable exhibition. The Democrat should not forget that so long as it is Jim in the south. it is very apt to be .'Jeff'' in the north, and so long as it has sheer for 'Jim" it should reserve its adulation of "Jeff. V

PECK'S ALL RIGHT.

Labor Commissioner Peck was in court at Albany on the 27th. to show cause why he should not allow an ex- animation of the tariff circulars re- ceived from New York city manufac- turers on which the commissioner based his report on the effect of the tariff on labor and wages.
 Mir. Pcck's plea was that all corres- pondence conducted by him with the employees and employers was under a personal pledge of secrecy, without which no figures could be obtained. The same method prevailed in other states and the returns he had received were his own property, and not that of the state. Hence no call upon him for the basis of his reports should be honored. The case went over until Oct. 12.
 When Mir. Peck was leaving the room he remarked: "Well, I've got first blood"

IN raising the names of the repub- lican territorial nominees to the head of its columns The Enterprise is nov ed solely by the belief that the best in- terests of the territory and its people will be subserved by their election. The peculiar conditions that now con- front the people of Arizona demand an active, indefatigable republican worker at the National Capitol and it would be difficult matter to find one more capable of filling all these require ments than the Hon. W. G. Stewart, of Flagstaff. In his canvass of the ter ritory the people will have an opportu- nity to meet him and judge of his ca pabilities and fitness, and to listen to sound reasons why they should vote for him. The nominee for councilman at large is gentleman worthy the suffrages of his party and for state- hood reasons, if for no other, he should be sent to swell the republican majori- ty of that body. He is poor man, financially, while his opponent has plenty of this worlds goods, and there fore there is great tie of sympathy between George Gulf and the great masses of toilers that make up the po- litical strength of the territory. Both candidates are commended to the favor of the people as worthy of their entire confidence and support.-Tucson En- terprise.

For two years suffered terribly with stomach trouble, and was for all that time under treatment by a physician.

Finally on the recom- mendation of a friend who had used
