Fruit Prospects.

Hen. w. G.. Vincenheller recently
made tour of Sebastian, Crawford,
Washington and Benton counties,
and, on his return to the State capital,
be was interviewed by an Arkansas Dem
ocrat representative, to whom he said:
'sI went to see about my income tax,
and to examine the fruit prospect,
which I found to be the best I ever
saw. It is absolutely without parallel
in the history of Arkansas. All trees
peach, pear, plum and apple-and
small fruits are laden with bloom.
The two years rest has loaded them
with an enormous wealth Of embry-
onic luciousness.
In the vicinity of Van Buren, there
are $500 acres Of strawberries, perfect
oceans of bloom. The bankers are
making arrangements to supply about
$4,000 daily. for the berry growers
during the twenty days, which it will
require to handle the crop. The straw
berries of Crawford county will bring
at least $3.50, 900, which is low esti-
mate. 1t is phenomenal.
l visited the Oakland Fruit Farm,
near Van Buren,, and saw IS acres Of
berries, planted last year where the
heavy oak timber had just been cut,
in full bloom. This farm, owned by
Shibley, Smeltzer & Stewart, is the
the finest that / ever saw. model in
every respect. The Irish potato crop
will also be extremely large. I saw
some, planted on Christmas, which
are now six inches high. The acreage
is unusually extensive.
/ did not see a cotton field, while I
was gone, with the exception of a few
along the river.
Everyb ody:is enthusiastic over the
Atlanta Exposition, and all are ready
to cooperate with me in making it the
grandest of natural products which the
State ever had. have secured the
service of men in several counties to
look out for our interests, and I want
to get exhibits from every county in
the State"

souls to Christ. He spent Is years Of
uninterrupted labors in this work
He was man of National reputation,

souls in every state in the Union, and
many thousands all over our land, and
even in England and Scotland, love

Arkansas Cattle.

GALENA, Mo-, April 2O.-The whole
southern part of Stone and Taney coun
ties is being invaded by cattle from
Arkansas. There are now over 1-,500
OF Arkansas cattle on the range in
one township of this county alone.
The people are indignant and trouble
is sure to result.

They pay no taxes in either state, and
the present law cannot be enforced.
If the authorities do not go their re-

Decline in Values.

The advocates of the single gold
standard never grow weary OF talking
of the decline of silver, says the Chica-
90 Inter Oceon. Before us is table
giving the average United States ex-
port prices, as measured by gold, Of Sill
yer by ounce. cotton by the pound and
wheat by the bushel. This average is
annual beginning with 1872, the year
silver was demonitized, and extending
and including 1898, making q years in
all, This table shows beyond cavil or
dispute that its decline was even great
er in cotton and wheat than in silver.
For the year 1873 the average export
price of silver was $l.29, of cotton 1872,
of wheat SIPS. In 1898 the averages
were: Silver 72 cents; cotton cents;
wheat 63 cents. 1t will be seen that
wheat declined almost exactly one-half,
cotton considerably more, silver con-
siderably less. In all three cases the
decline was gradual, each year show
ing little lower than the proceeding
one, except that silver took little up
grade turn in 1891, and cotton too.
Both struck a notch slightly above
anything since 1885. That was the
! temporary effort of thedelusive hope
that the Sherman act was step to-
ward the,fuller restoration of silver as
a money metal. Its passage did no
permanent good, while its repeal
without provision for any coinage
whatever of standard dollars, had the
effect to sink all three of these great
American exports below the lowest
provision point Silver rules II cents
lower in 1893 than in any previous
year; cotton 1 Z cents lower than the
lowest previous year, and wheat 13
cents lower There is no possible
escape for the conclusion that our cot
ton and wheat sink or rise in price IN
proportion as silver sinks or rises. as
compared with gold.
We have here, in large measure,
the explanation of England,s anxiety
TO keep down silver. 1t seems to de-
press cotton and wheat which
that country imports SO largely from
the United States It also seems to
explain why the cotton growers of the
south and the wheat growers of the
northwest are SO resolutely set upon
the restoration Of silver to its legeti-
mate function in the currency of the
world.
The price of silver has gone up of
late. Whether that appreciation is
speculative or natural, temporary or
permanent, remains to be seen, but
however that may be, cotton went up
at once in sympathy with silver.
There is an inseperable connection
between them which the spectators
cannot overcome, and which is becom-
inc more and more apparent

The Southern Pacific Prepar-

Route.
Condemnation Suits Against Land:
Owners Along the Line to
Be Commenced.

The Law Department of the Southern
Pacific Railway Company has in prepare
ton number of condemnation suits,
which are to be filed against owners of
land between South San Francisco and
Baden.
At the same time a corps of en-
gineers is in the field making surveys
and leveling for a railroad over the new
right of way from point about half
mile north of the Baden slaughter-houses
to the Potrero.
The proposition is to condemn land that
lies within the lines Of the proposed bay
shore road that cannot be purchased by the
company. For some years past the South
ern Pacific has been quietly buying real
estate in small and large lots through the
Potrero and South San Francisco through
agents with the object of owning a contin-
uous double track in a direct line from
Fourth and Townsend streets to San Ma
teo County. In many places the agents
could not acquire land along this line, and
now an effort will be made in court TO con-
denim the property for railroad uses.
The route has been surveyed for some
years, but final surveys for engineering are
now being run over the ground. There
will be tunnel at the county boundary
line, entering about 100 yards west of the
San Bruno road on the south, and opening
into the fat land near the end of Railroad
avenue. Another tunnel will be necessary
under the hill on which the South San
Francisco Orphan Asylum stands.
Chief Engineer Hood of the Southern
Pacific Company would not discuss the
question, but he said that nothing unusual
was going on along the route mentioned.
He stated positively that any work in his
Office had nothing to do with the valley
road
From an official of the company it was
learned that the bay shore road will be
built without delay, so that it shall be fin
ished simultaneously with the coast line
through Santa Barbara to Los Angeles.
When that is accomplished. he said, the
company viii bend its efforts toward build
ing up San Mateo County, or, more
correctly, that part of San Mateo which
lies along the railway.

AN INJURED GIRL.
Miss Nava Charges Her Mother With
Cruelty.

Miss Nava Charges Her Mother With
Cruelty.
A case of barbarous cruelty was reported
to Secretary McComb yesterday by Mrs.
FairchiId, principal of the Garfield School.
The victim of her mothers alleged cruelty
is a 12-year-old girl, living with her parents
at 4S1 Union street.
Mrs. Fairchild reported that the girl
came to school on Friday with her clothes
covered with blood, which flowed from
several cuts upon her head. The girl said,
in response to a question, that she had
been beaten by her mother with piece of
wood According to Mrs. Fairchild this is
not the first time that the girl has come to
school in a badly bruised condition. On
several occasions she went to school in a
half-famished state, and was forced to beg
food from her companions and teachers.
The girls father is Antonio Nava. He is
a contractor scavenger, and is said to be
quite wealthy. The neighbors informed
Officer Wells, who is investigating the case,
that he has treated his daughter with uni
form kindness. Mrs. Nava, however, was
accused of cruelty toward the girl. 1t is
likely that Mrs. Nava will be called upon
to explain her conduct to Secretary Nc
Comb tomorrow.

FLORAL EXHIBITION
A Paper Read by DIR. Behr on "The
Wild Flowers of Cali
fornia."

The regular monthly meeting of the
State Floral Society was held Friday after
noon. Two hundred and twenty-five va
rieties of wild flowers were on exhibition,
their exquisite coloring and dainty wild
wood perfume going far toward proving
that the California wild flower is far from
becoming extinct. Their friends are
legion. as was proved by the crowded par
lors, where standing was at par.
Most noticeable among the lovely dis
play were the golden peoples. The cult
waited poppy was there, too, in all the del
icate tints down to pale cream.
The walls and tables were covered with
columbine larkspur, popcorn flower,
baby blue eyes, iris, bleeding-heart, wake
robin, thistles, shepherds purse, lupines,
dog-tooth violets, smilax, California lilac,
mallow, mustard, Western wallhower and
others too numerous to mention.
Carl Purdy of Ukiah sent choice varieties
and will continue sending flowers to each
meeting during the season.
Mrs. III. A. Cross gave a beautiful cut
glass vase as prize to the best exhibit OF
wild flowers, which was won by Miss Ella
F. Baily.
