We publish the following for the
future benefit of our visitors. We have
no mosquitoes in Eureka Springs, but
more than likely they are a great pest
at the home Of every visitor; "A
Philadelphia lady has method Of keep
ing mosquitoes out Of her house, which
is very simple. She discarded all
screens and threw the windows wide
open at night. Across the open space
OF the window she stretched . piece Of
red ribbon two inches wide. A mos
quito, said she, cannot be induced to
pass that ribbon. Why 1t is 20 do not
know, but know the natives Of India
take this means Of battling the vicious
mosquitoes. 1t works to perfection here
also. Eureka Springs Times Echo.

rayed SO earnestly against the football
habit Their motive for such an action
might be deemed trifle mercinary. to be
sure. but every little helps, especially in a
propaganda that is assailing so strongly en-
trenched an evil as a social fad. 1t Is i'm
possible to estimate the loss Of rev snue
sustained by the worthy ones who handle
the razor and shears, at such season
when the chief ambition of every youth
who 1t not a member of a football team Is
to be mistaken one. In order to grow a
becoming and complete equipment for the
Thanksgiving games-that day being now
established as the Fourth Of July Of foot
ball-it is necessary to begin now to eschew
the barber and. therefore. this time marks
the beginning of that financial sahara
through which the hair-cutters Of the coun-
try are annually passing. II it should be
the fad to grow untrimmed boards as well
as unkempt shocks of hair. doubtless there
would be general exodus from this now
pleasant occupation to other pursuits less
subject to foolish fluctuations.

another ticket supposed to represent certain

ton. But one fact that viii initiate
strongly against Tanmany Is the probable

as stated, that out Of $1,000 votes cast by
these citizens. 10000 will be given to the
fusion ticket, the tide of battle appears
now to lie turning against the Tiger. But
IL the anti-Tammany element In the reform
union should prove unable to draw as many
votes as this away from the faction that
endorsed the Tammany ticket the fight
will probably be very close, unless new
developments in the situation should occur.
This possibility is ever present, as the case
seldom presents the same phase from day

More Municipal Building Agitation.


1t is announced that the District Com
m ss!oners have determined to press again
to the front. at the coming session of Con-
gross. the need of the District for a new
municipal building. 1t is rather a mis-
homer to call 1t new" building when all
the community possesses is a leasehold
Upon structure built by private parties.
The proposition needs no argument in its
favor. Every taxpayer here knows well
enough the necessity for action by Con-
gress, and that each years delay makes a
satisfactory meeting of the demands of
the District more and more difficult, as
land values increase. 1t Is with reluctance
that the citizens join the cry for a building
to be located on Judiciary Square, as a
compromise that will be most likely to
meet the approval of the parsimonious
legislators in Congress. The right place
for a municipal office is on the city's great
thoroughfare, where it will be not only a
convenience to majority of the citizens.
but a permanent ornament to the capital.
An avenue site that does not absorb any
part of the reserved ground that Is so val
liable for other than building purposes
should be secured, If possible. The city
post-offlee was thus located. and the gov
eminent Is yet solvent. The District is as
willing to bear one-half tho cost Of more
expensive site as it Is TO give up part OF
a beautiful park. and probably more so, yet
if it should develop that Congress will posi-
lively not consent to a purchase, then
every energy should be bent to secure an
appropriation for magnificent modern
building on the site of the present court
house, to accommodate the municipal offices
and the local and federal courts, making
a splendid architectural addition to the
oity and a combination convenient for the
business and professional men of Wash

The New southern Connection.

No better sign of the increasing COM
mercial Importance of Washington could
be had than the latest move of the Baltf-
more and Ohio Railroad Company in TAX
ing. by permission of the District Com
missioners the first steps to secure a
through southern connection by way of the
capital The city has long lacked that
competition among the railroads tapping
the south that has really been demanded
by the steady development of that region
and it is unfortunate that this active cor
poration has not long ago succeeded in Sc
curing a route that would place it on an
independent basis as far as southern con-
nections are concerned. Freight rates are
still higa enough to warrant considerable
cutting which it is reasonably certain will
not be done as long as the present railroad
service to the south has practically no COM
petition. With the Baltimore and Ohio en-
gagged in active competitive service the city
will necessarily reap benefit that Is not to
be derived from any other source. Great
care should be taken, however, that in
the development of the Georgetown termi-
nus and it's future facilities for southern
connection, the same evils of grade cross
ings and similar menaces to life, limb and
property that obtain in the case of the
present Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania tracks are not permitted to spread.
If the lawmakers shall place a firm re-
striction upon the use of the streets at the
very outset of the scheme, the danger will
not be so great. But railroads are like
most men. The more they get the more
they want. There is no limit to their ca
pacity for receiving and taking, while there
is distinct limit to their disposition to aid
the public in return for favors granted.
