Almost Completed.

The hadsome and commodious new
offices, waiting rooms and passenger
depot of the Texarkana & IT. Smith
railway company are rapidly approach
ing completion, will, when finished
and ready for occupancy, be an honor
to the road. The waiting rooms are
as large as any in the city and will be
made both convenient and comforta-
Bile, having all of the modern appli-
ances for that purpose. The offices
are large, spacious and conveniently
arranged. All Of the rooms will be
on one floor in the first story Of the
Chic brick block, just opposite the
Cotton Belt depot. The elegant new
coaches recently purchased for the
road will arrive in few days, and a
regular passenger train, with all nee
essary appliances for the comfort and
accommodation Of passengers will be
put on the road. The Texarkana and
TT. Smith people mean business from
the word go, and every indication
points now to the immediate work of
construction along both ends Of the
line over the proposed route of the
road That the line will be built is u
foregone conclusion, and that its com
pletion will be pushed forward with
all possible speed appears equally GER
tain. The great benefits which must
necessarily accrue to Texarkana from
the building Of this road, makes the
subject one Of general Importance and
universal interests to our citizens in
every walk Of life, and they will join
us in mutual congratulations over the
flattering prospects for the certain full
fllIment Of the general desire, and
that, too, at no very distant day. Nor
are the people Of Texarkana alone in
this respect, as there is already great
concern being exhibited throughout
both states by the people along or
near the proposed route Of construc-
tion, who appear keenly alive to the
benefits to be derived from the COM
pletion Of the road.

THE CHEROKEE STRIP.

The provisions of the Cherokee bill
as 1t finally passed Congress through
the conference committee route are
somewhat complicated and even diff
cult of absolute ascertainment The
bill as passed has not yet been printed
and it was engressed in paragraphs.
As nearly us can be ascertained, how
ever, the bill provides that $29,50O in
cash shall be paid Immediately to the
Cherokees on their acceptance of the
provisions of the bill, and that $780,
900 shall be paid to them in four equal
annual payments, and that this sum
shall bear interest at per cent
When the provisions of the bill are
ratified by the Cherokees the Presi-
dent shall, within twelve months there
after, issue proclamation opening the
lands in the so-called Cherokee Strip
to public settlement. The lands in
the eastern portion of the strip, ascer-
tanned, of course, by well-deflned
line, are to be sold in bodies of 100
acres at $3.50 an acre, while the lands
west of this certain line are to be sold
for $3.50 an acre.
The town site regulations are the
same as those that prevailed when
Oklahoma was thrown open to settle
ment. The Secretary of the Interior
is authorized to frame the county
boundary lines and to locate the
county seats. The bill also carries a
provision for the appointment of a
commission to be composed of three
citizens Of the United States to nego-
tiate with the five civilized tribes for
the purpose of inducing them to be-
come citizens of the United States; to
forsake their tribal relations, and to
take up their land in severalty, the
object being ultimate statehood for
the portion of the country now occu-
pied by the Cherokees, Choctaws,
Chickasaws, Creeks and Delawares.

among the crowned heads of Europe,
of particular interest to every class
ofreaders. The story of Helen Kellar's
life is without a parallel in either
romance or real life. This remarka-
Bile child, who, although deaf, dumb
and blind from birth, has accomplish
ed so much that is beautiful and in-
spring, numbers among her friends
many of the royal station in the courts
Of Europe who have never even seen
her.
One of these is the Queen Of Greece
who learned ofllelen through Michael
Anagnos, the Director of the Institu-
ton for the Blind, when he visited
Greece some time ago. The interest
which the Queen took in Helen was
so intense that she exacted from Mr..
Anagnos a promise that he would let
her read every letter that Helen wrote
to him while he was at the Greek
capital, and when he was about TO re-
turn TO this country she induced hum
to permit her to retain several of the
letters that she had read, which are
treasured very highly at the court.
The Queen expressed on more than
one occasion her surprise that Helen,
who is not yet in her teens, should
have so remarkable command of the
purest English, and hinted that the
child might have had some assistance
in the preparation of her wonderful
letters, But Mr.. Anagnos disposed of
that thought by informing her Majes-
ty that there was no person connect
ed with the institution who could
write English so iaultlessly, pure and
sweet as Helen wrote, since the little
girl never had had an opportunity to
form acquaintance with any but the
loftiest models Of the language.
Helen has learned to articuate and
can speak as freely and fully as any
unaffected person. When she wishes
to hold long conversation with any
body dear to her. she places one fin
ger across the lips Of the speaker and
another on the throat at the larynx.
In this way she understands every
word that is uttered as rapidly as
coald be understood by person with
good cyeslght and hearing

A Popular Favorite.

In speaking of Lillian Lewis, the
fair and facinating favorite of the
American footlights, the San Antonio
Express, says: There is probably no
better known actress in San Antonio
than Miss Lillian Lewis, who is at
present playing an engagement at the
Grand Opera House. Miss Lewis has
been visiting this city regularly for
many seasons past, and her popularity
is evidenced by the large audiences
that invariably greet her. Although
Miss Lewis has only been seen in
emotional parts, she is an actress OF
rare versatility and she has large
repertoire of various plays.
Don't fail to see her at Ghio's opera
house tonight.

THE BRILEY-sMITH CASE,

Boston, the county seat of Bowie
county, is crowded to-day with law
yers, jurors and witnesses, who have
been assembled to participate in their
several capacities in the trial of the
celebrated Smith-Briley case, which is
set for trial before Judge John l..
Sheppard, in the Bowie Circuit Court
to-day. Nearly all of the prominent
lawyers of the West side are in at
tendance as counsel on one or the 9th
er side Of the case, Hon. Paul Jones,
of the East side, is also present as

Smith. 1t is hoped that an under
standing may be reached between the
parties and the matter adjusted with
out further appeal to the courts, save
such as will be necessary to satisfy the
law and its officers. Both of the prin-
cipals are old and prominent citizens
of Texarkana, occupying high posi-
tions in the esteem and confidence of
their fellow men. The defendant, j.
+. Smith, president of the Smith Drug
Company, is Que of the earliest citi-
zens of Texarkana, and for years has
rpnked high as one of the ablest and
