Not all of these monuments have been erected. By a quick addition the reader can see that the total number now pro- vided for is 168 Out of that 168 hardly more than 100 are on the field. Visitors at the park at its dedication will there fore find it in most uncompleted state. The project is but in it's infancy. It will require five years to complete it, and still there will be work to do.
 Missouri was the first state having Confederate troops on the field to appro- priate money for monuments. One of the three memorials from this state is to be erected 10 Bledsoe's Confederate bat tery. Of the other two, one is to be erected to the memory of the Second and Fifteenth Missouri in LiYoldt's bri- gade, and the other is to be a general memorial to all other troops on the field of battle from Missouri
 The Kansas monuments vii also be in position by the dedication, it is thought, or some of them at least. The state had only one regiment in the Chat tanooga campaign, but 1t covered itself with such glory as to deserve dozen monuments. The Eighth Kansas played an important part in the fight about the Viniard place. Hegg was killed there. A mortuary monument, composed of d pyramid of shells, now marks the spot. When Hegg fell, John A. Martin, late governor of Kansas, assumed his com mand The first Kansas monument erect ed will be located in that vicinity, on the Viniard farm The design and speci- fcations call for three massive blocks of granite, rising to a height of eight feet.
 The most imposing Kansas monu- ment will be placed on Missionary ridge, on the Crest road, near Bragg s headquarters. It is to be 20 feet high, of varicolored granites and will be sur mounted by massive figure in bronze of soldier at attention. The position which this monument is to occupy will make it visible for miles-St. Louis Republic.

WHIPPED BY A WOMAN.
Such Is Life In Large and Wicked Cities
 Like New York.

A large crowd thoroughly enjoyed watching an irate and handsome land lady administer sound thrashing to 8 delinquent roomer outside Dennett' s Park row restaurant last night. She was young, sprightly, but powerful. A white dress set off 8 shapely figure to advantage.
 She entered the restaurant and en- gagged ill conversation with the man ager. One of the employees looked agi- tated. He dropped his apron and tried to leave the place unobseryed by the woman
 As he reached the door she spied him. She darted after him, and doubling up her fists in true pugilistic style gave him punch on the jaw which knocked him against the window of Jeffrey s cigar store adjoining. She followed the first blow up by another between the eyes. A large crowd collected and en- couraged the woman.
 Give it to him r
 Hit him again i''
 Hit him with ssinker
 These were the cries of the throng that had gathered. The unfortunate victim was struggling to get away. He finally took refuge behind counter in the cigar store.
 The woman did not follow him into the store, but remained outside and aired her grievances.
 ''This man owes me money for room rent, {" she said in loud voice, and he is trying to get away from me. Why wouldn't t lay for him and punch his face?'
 That's rightr' yelled a crowd of men, who didn't look as though they meant it.
 While she was talking the victim rushed from the cigar store, across Park TOW and around the front of the post office She darted after him and took 8 short cut through the postoffice But hs was the better runner and got away.
 The attaches of the restaurant refused to say who the fleeing employee was, except that he was Charlie, the butter man. !" He has charge of carving out the butter into little pieces. New York Journal

ARKANSAS needs better roads and

ARKANSAS needs better roads and now is the time to begin to agitate the matter. Men who announce themselves as candidates for the Legislature should be required to express themselves fully on the sub- ject and present a feasible plan to their constituents for ratification, that will be a relief from the pres ent burdensome and intellectual road law.-Rison Bdzoo.

A New Industry,

A Paris beggar has been living very comfortably by hanging himself. He would choose tree where young chil- dren were playing, string himself up and groan to attract attention so that they would run for help. He would be cut down and restored, and a letter in his pocket would explain his attempted suicide by statement of his destitu- tion.

MARRYING TITLES.

It seems to be the highest ambi- tion of an American heiress to marry a foreign nobleman. Pos .sessed of all the pleasures and lux 1uries that wealth afford, they only lack social prestige. and all their energy is devoted to the attainment of this end. In this country, whose social standard is largely based on wealth, they easily forge to the front ranks of society, yet they are not contented. They are not admitted into the exclusive social circles of nobility, where title and long an- cestry are the requirements, and to here gain entrance they are willing to make any sacrifice. Fortunate for them, wealth IS also required to move in these circles, and often, through extravagant living, these aristocratic families are reduced to bankruptcy. The young Earl or Duke, rather than lose his position and standing, seeks an alliance whereby he can overcome this de- ficiency, and no better field can be found than America. Here he easily gains admission into the wealthiest families, and as easily wins an heiress for a bride.
 The latest engagement of this kind is the one of Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt and the Duke of Marl- borough. The dowry is sl0, 900, ,000. The wedding is announced to take place in December next.
 To an American it seems that such match cannot be happy one, and it usually proves that they are not However, it might be the best one possible. The one wants social eminence and the other wants money, and each gets what they are after. Sometimes it happens that each is also congenial to the other, and happiness is added to content ment. The marriage of Miss Van- derbilt and the Duke of Marl- borough, it is thought, will come under the latter class. Besides be- longing to the highest class consti- tuting the peers and inheriting a title dating back two centuries, we are also told that he is young man possessing good qualities and great ability. Miss Vanderbilt, too, is en- dowed by nature with gifts and graces which will make fortunate the man who wins her Considering these facts, this union might prove an exception to the rule, and Amer jeans should not be too hasty in their criticism of the match.
