News of the killing of negro by
passenger train No. 1, on the Iron
Mountain railway, near Arkadelphia,
Ark, reached this city this morning.
1t seems that the negro had stopped
to rest while crossing the trustle near
the Ouachita river, a half mile
from Arksdelphia depot and had
dropped to sleep. The engine was
close ON to the man before he was dis
covered and all effort to stop the
train proved unavailing. The re-
mains were brought to that city for
interment. 1t is not known whether
or not the unfortunate was intoxicat-
ed or simply tired from long walk.

THE FoRTY-CENT RATE.

TO this locality the announcement of a
Accent terminal rate on fir is matter
that ranks next in importance after the
discovery Of America and the completion
Of the Northern Pacific railroad. 1t
opens up 20 the sawmills Of Washington
the markets in all Of the country tributary
to the Union Pacific, Northern Pacific
and Great Northern. 1t makes it posi-
BILE for every saw-mill now built, or that
may be built, along the line of any of
these roads to run at full capacity all the
year round at profit. More than that,
it adds at once very materially to the value
Of every foot of stumpage in the state.
He who, in the face of this reduction,
can oppose railroad into Aberdeen on
the north side, or stand idly by instead
of exerting himself to the utmost to
secure such a road, must be classed
among the enemies of Aberdeen.

Hereditary Influence,

1T Is fact well established by students
of heredity," says the New York Sun,
that children are apt to inherit not only
the physical, mental and moral traits of
their parents, bnt to be Influenced by their
age as well. Children born of very young
fathers and mothers never attain so vigor-
GUS growth of mind or body as those OF
older men and women, while children of
old people are born old. One of the most
surprising cases in medical history is that
of Marguerite Cribsowna, who died in 1903
aged los years. When ninety four she was
married to a man aged los. Three chill
dren came of this union. but they had gray
hair no teeth, were stopped, yellow and
wrinkled, decrepit in movement, and could
eat only bread and vegetables"

WHY the Woman Faints.

Walter Besant thinks that the reason
why men have never, even in the most un-
governed times, tainted so readily as women
is that they are slower of imagination.
Disaster falls upon a family. Instantly the
wife and the daughters understand clearly
what it means-in moment Of time they
see the whole change-the train of miseries
that the disaster will bring; the change to
poverty, the loss of luxuries, social consid-
GRAFTON, friends, dignity, self respect, all.
Amelia found her husband in the sponging
house; she saw all that it might mean for
herself and her children, and she swooned
away. The man, slower Of perception, takes
in the truth more gradually; often he never
takes it in at all. because, being man, he
looks forward to the impossible and thinks
he can succeed twice Only one disaster
strikes him instantly, and that is when his
doctor tells him he must die Then-as
physicians have told-he swoons away; he
falls down inanimate at his doctors feet.
Yet you may tell even a young and happy
woman that she must die, and she will not
faint. Amelia in the age of swoons would
not have tainted at receiving this intelli-
gence Why?

HOW TO RUN A NEWSPAPER.

EDITOR HERALD: have no expert
ence in the running Of newspaper, and
this is, perhaps, the reason / have SO
many theories. believe that news
paper should be the central station from
which radiate lines OF communication
leading to every business house, COM
pany, corporation, school and home in
the city, that il may be rung up at the
beginning as well as in at the finish Of
every transaction Of society or business.
My idea is not at all that the newspaper
should degrade itself into private de-
tective system and play the spy on a
large scale, but that it should frankly CO.
operate with every body of citizens who
are drawn into groups for any legitimate
object of work or play. Let the editor
identify himself with all the interests Of
the town, making himself member of
the various societies, and instinctively
his fellow members will realize that in
him they have particularly valuable
co-adjutor, and will yield to him readily
the confidence that they would jealousy
withhold from "news shark"
The idea of cooperation, which seems
the only feasible solution of our labor
troubles, is also the key to newspaper
success. No paper can long exist except
by the suffrage Of the community which
supports it, and it is easy to see that its
success will be in the direct ratio with
the universally of this support. Reing
so plainly the editors interest to
make this support general, it is
he who should make the advances

Rubens as a Child.

artist. There are some interesting records
of his schooldays at the Jesuits' college ex-
tant, where it is said he acquired the art of
Illuminating missals. AT the Japanese
gallery in New Bond street there are
eight of these missal illustrations. They
are signed and are of beautiful finish.
There is not touch in them that recalls
the dashing Rubens, but there is that sense
Of color-a mixture of bright scarlets and
rich blues-that became keynote with him
later. The stories told in these little
paintings no bigger than the palm of your
