Arkansas At the Fair.

The case is SO plainly and forci
bly, stated In the following article
from The Batesville Guard that il
seems there is no room for further
argument:
If the legislature should fail ia
make an appropriation for the
Worlds Fair Arkansas will be
forced to sell her building at Chi.
csgo aud retire from the field. A
few public-spirted citizens, BY per.
sistent appeals to the people, have
succeeded in raising about $40, 900
from private subscriptions. The
building has been finished and
largely paid for, but a debt of about
$4,000 yet remains to be paid ON it.
1t might be possible, by dint of
continual importuning, to raise
that sum after awhile but q build
ing, however handsome, would be
of no value to the state without an
exhibit to put in it, and it is not
worth while to try to 'sbegn an ex.
hibit, as we have "begged" the
building.
tits q discredit to the state that
the legislature should hesitate for
a moment in this matter. When
private enterprise has done so
much the state itself can we'll af.
ford to finish the work, and, if the
state should not do this, Arkansas
will be forced ont ofthe field. The
appropriation Of $50, 900 asked for
is only about two cents apiece for
each resident of the state-ten
cents for each family. And it is
not proposed to raise this by taxa
ton, but to appropriate it from the
unclaimed portion of the direct
tax refunded by the federal gov.
eminent, and now lying idle in the
treasury. Less than three months
remain until the opening of the
fair, and what Ia to be done should
be done promptly.

During 1891 about 450 more per-
sons were killed by will beasts in
India than during the preceding
year. The number killed in 1890
however, was very low; still the
figures for 17OI are $50 in excess
the mean. The yearly average of
persons killed by wild beasts in
India is between $500 and 5000.
The mortality from snake bites is
much greater, varying from q, 900
to $4,000 annually. In one dis
trict of Bengal, Hszaribagh, no
fewer than 205 deaths were due
in 1891 to q single brood of man.
