the last few years had been living in
Kentucky. He with his sister-in-aw,
Miss Sue Black, had arrived here last
Saturday with the remains of Judge

fore he died that his remains be brought t
here and buried in White Church cem-
etry. It was in compliance with this
request that Mr.. Feran was here. He

From the Territory.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: AS it has been
quite awhile since we wrote to THE
TRIBUNE we thought we would
come again. Crops look fine
and the farmers are all at
work in great shape. All of the early
corn is knee high and our cotton chop
ping has commenced but there is only
about one. fourth the amount of the
feecy staple in this vicinity that we
had last year.
Cattle have taken a boom from some
cause or other and every one not engag-
ed in farming, has gone to ''cow punch
ing"
It looks now as though the Choctaw
Nation would, in short time, be desti-
tute of cattle, from the way they are be-
ing driven out of here. One man alone
has driven out 7 900 head up 10 date
and there are many others in the busi-
ness. We are living on public road
and there is hardly a day passes but
herds pass going west. [ understand
they are taking them to Oklahoma and
other western territories and making
up large herds.
Little old knotty cattle that six
months ago could not have been given
away, are being sold for good prices.
Will some one be kind enough to tell
us just why cotton continues to be low
while everything else is on an upward
tendency? Don't people still wear
clothes as we'll as eat beef?

The last Legislature in its wisdom
saw tit to appropriate $4,000 for the
better preparatory of the teachers of
the State
A teachers training school is to be
conducted in each county. at the very
doors of the teachers, and tuition is
free. The Normal for this county is to
be held at Green Forest, beginning June
18th and closing July 18th. The teach
ers OF Carroll county will remember the
following resolution which was unani-
mously carried at our last Institute
Resolved, That we believe it to be
the duty of the State to aid in the prep
aration of its teachers, and we recon-
mend that four weeks Institute be
held in each county,"
Now let US show that we appreciate
the help given by the State. Let us
attend every day of the twenty and go
back into our work to prove that the
schools will be better if taught by
trained teachers.
If the teachers Of the State attend
the Normals the appropriations for
these schools will be continued, but if,
on the other hand, they stay away on
the plea, of poverty, the State Legisl atue
will after fair trial withdraw it's help:
Certainly the teachers of Arkansas
look forward to the time when there
will be established at least two State
Normals where teachers may have all
of the advantages for preparation offer
ed by SO many of our sister States. The
Normals of New York, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, and Missouri
are today furnishing the majority of
the teachers in our city graded schools.
VIII the teachers Of Arkansas allow
this to be the condition of affairs
always? am of the opinion that the
teachers all over this State will attend
this school en- masse, and | am anxious
that Carroll county shall be called the
Banner County in attendance at these
schools.
Remember that your tuition is free
and that board can be obtained for Sc,
not more than IS, for the term of four
weeks. A circular letter will be ad-
dressed to all Of the teachers in the
county, and we hope each will respond
promptly with the words, 81 will be
there" IF the majority of the teech-
ers Of this county attend, State Supt.
Jordan will give me an assis tant, and
the work will necessarily be much bet
ter with two instructors than with one.
We have not had definite under
standing with the County Examiners
yet, but we feel sure that at least ten
per cent will be added'in the examina-
tons which take place at the close of
the Normal for regular attendance.
We have not had consultation with
the directors Of the schools of the coun-
ty, but we know from experience that
if the teachers make themselves worthy
of an increase in salary they will get
it.
Further information concerning the
Carroll County Normal will be given as
soon as we hear from State Supt. Jor-
dan. Very truly,
G.. S. BARNETT,
Conductor Carroll County Normal,

Heat Value of Coal.

The important fact has over and over
again been stated by those wo have in
vestigated the subject with scientific ex-
actness that only about or s per cent
Of the total heat value of coal is utilized
in an engine by heating transformed
into power. In tracing up this loss it is
stated that there are required some
1909 degrees Of heat, Or heat units
not degrees Of temperature-to change
one pound of water into steam, while
during the absorption Of this amount Of
heat the temperature of the water re-
mains at PIP degrees. This immense
amount Of steam is rendered latent and
does not sensibly affect the thermometer.
Scientific authorities explain the cause
Of this loss in the steam engine as due
to the fact that the 900 degrees absorbed
by water in being transferred into steam
-212 degrees are apparent upon Their
mometer, and which, added to 900,
make up the 1909 degrees above men
.tloned-go into the engine unindicated
by the thermometer, leave in the same
manner and go to waste New York

Irving and StOker.

Not many know how that talented
Irishman, Mr.. Bran Stoker, came to be
associated with the fortunes of Sir
Henry Irving. 1t was in this wise. Sir
Henry, when on visit to Dublin, was
invited to supper party, and during
the course Of the evening was induced
to recite in his thrilling way "The
Dream of Eugene Aram.'' One Of his
auditors, a young man with brilliant
reputation at Trinity college, was so af-
fected by the tragedian's delivery that
he burst into tears. Henry Irving asked
the young man to call on him the next
morning, and then and there made him
an offer, which was accepted to the mu-
tual advantage Of both. The young man
was Mr.. Bran Stoker.-London Core

Keep Their Secrets Well.

The French keep the secrets Of their
ammunition wonderfully. Their powder
gives excellent results, but it's compost
ton is still unknown, and their dyna-
mite shells for the navy and field artil-
lery have not yet been initiated by any
other country. The best French naval
experts believe that only quick firing
guns, using high explosive shells will
be Of any use in the next naval engage
ment They contend that these shells
will abolish armor, as armor tends to
increase the effect of bursting she'll The
first thing our new government will
have to do will be to provide our navy
with quick firing guns and shells that
shall be effectual. It is not denied that
in both these particulars the French at
the present moment are far ahead Of u.s.

How to Clean Old Book Plates.

To restore old book plates that have
been injured by age and damp proceed
as follows: Place upon a fiat surface a
sheet Of white paper, somewhat larger
than the print to be cleaned Carefully
dampen the print on both sides with a
soft, wet sponge, and then saturate it
with mixture Of chloride of lime and
oxallc acid dissolved in about equal pro-
portions in a pint of cold water. You
can tell when the mixture is right by
its turning magenta color. Continue to
apply it until every stain or spot has
disappeared, and then with a clean
sponge wash the print freely with cold
water. Art American.

EXPERT HOTEL RoBBER.
He Relieved Schuyler Colfax of Bag Fun

He Relieved Schuyler Colfax of q Bag Fun
of Securities.
'sDid you ever hear of Charley Holt,
the prince of hotel thieves?'' said Detect
i've James McDevitt "Well, 7 had two
encounters with that gentleman here in
Washington. My first experience was
brief and devoid of sensational incident.
"A guest in an up town hotel awoke
one night and saw man going through
his clothes. He gave chase to the rob
Der, who dropped his booty, consisting
Of watch and several hundred dollars
in the hallway.
HE managed to outrun his pursuer
and reached his room on an upper floor
unseen. The hotel people sent for me,
and after searching the register and
making some inquiries I went straight
to Hollis room and put him under ar
rest. He accompanied me to headquar-
tiers without a murmur, but as we had
no proof against him he was let go, with
a warning never to show up again at the
capital.
'sHe staid away three years, but the
next time he came he did job of no
less magnitude than to rob the vice
president Of the United States, Schuyler
Colfax, of 1926. 900 in bonds and Sc
curities. The robbery occurred at Worm
ley's hotel, between and O'Clock, on
the evening Of Feb. %, 1869. I had
been to Alexandria that day and heard
Of the affair as soon as I reached the
city, about 9 p m. The first thing I did
was to go to restaurant keeper and ask
him if any crooked people were in town.
He replied that there was q party in the
badger line at place on Tenth street,
near the old gas Office In company
with the chief of police I went to the
house and asked of the landlady if she
had any strangers stopping there. She,
said yes, and OH tellingah her our business
she admitted US into the parlor, where
a good looking young man was walking
the floor, apparently in a nervous con-
dition.
Before we could say word he re-
marked: I know who you are after.
Charley Holt has stolen lot of bonds
belonging to the vice president. He told
LILO ~ AA4uoOA auu Sdll u0 Was nearly
scared to death when he found whose
property he had taken. You'll find the
stuff in the express Office, for he, boxed
it all up and shipped it to Philadelphia
this evening.
Here was revelation to take a
mans breath away. I never dreamed of
making such swift capture. We went
to the express and got the securities
right enough without any trouble. It
would have been an easy matter to get
Holt, but Mr.. Colfax, for some reason,
vetoed the proposition to catch him, and
he Went scot free Of that particular
crime. The fellow who told me was a
crook, but had nothing to do with the
transaction, and in consideration of the
give away was allowed to leave the
city with warning. "-Washington

A LUCKY SNEEZE.
1t Came just In Time to Mako Nj. x. q
Spanish Minister.

1t Came just In Time to Mako Nj. x. a
Spanish Minister.
The writer of 'Secrets In Spain"
tells in the pages of The New Review
how ministers were sometimes made
under the regime Of Queen Isabella of
Spain. Perhaps the most remarkable
instance is that of man who was made
minister for sneezing.
The story is as follows: M. K. had
gone one day to pay a casual visit to
one of his friends To his surprise he
found his friend very much occupied.
Excuse me-" said he, 'but am very
busy today. But if you have nothing to
do come along with me. - 'Where are
you going?" II have been summoned
to the palace They set off together
At the palace one was conducted to the
presence of the queen, while the other
waited in the anteroom. There was a
lengthy sitting in the queens cabinet,
new ministry being in course of for
nation
It was very cold and drafty in the an
teroom and the man who was waiting
began to grow very impatient, as he felt
a cold in the head coming on. "Whom
shall we appoint to the exchequer:
Whom to the Fomerto? Whom to the
war Department." asked the queen.
Gradually after much discussion the
ministry was built up bit by bit. There
was now only the colonial minister
to be appointed. IT must have colo.
NAL minister, - said the queen. "Whom
shall we appoint colonial minister?'' Nc
one could be thought Of. All at once 9
loud sneeze was heard in the anteroom.
"Who is that sneezing in the anteroom?'
asked the queen. IN. x" IN. x.
The very man-the very man for the
colonial minister! Tell M. x. to come
i'm
That is how M. K became colonia
minister-for having sneezed.

CROMWELL'S FIRST STATUE.

An Image of Wood and Wax Carried
Through London In 1868.
When Edward Burrough, the Quaker
"Apostle of London,' whom George
Fox called his ''Son Of Thunder" was
passing through Charing Cross on his
way to the city, upon the "22d day of
the ninth month"; 1868, he found the
streets crowded with people. "The
guards of soldiers, horse and FOOT" says
he, "stayed me and stopped my horse and
said I might not pass that way. Mel
Their, indeed, I WILL" adds he, "by rea-
son Of the throng Of people,
When he inquired the reason Of "this
thronging and pressing of multitudes, "
he was told that they all came out only
to see dead image and invented fea-
ture, without life or breath which would
be carried this way" 1t was not the
great Protector body but dead image
of wood Or wax, arrayed and decked
with foolish inventions, and it "was to
be carried from place to place that day
between Somerset House and Westmin-
ster, as was usual in the time of popery,
for multitudes Of foolish people to gaze
upon and wonder after and admire
The jealous Quaker thought the statue
Of Oliver Cromwell all the more an in
suit to his memory because she was
once @ great instrument in the hands of
the Lord to break down many idola-
trous images and grievous idols. And
have they now, said my spirit, made a
costly image of him? And are such as
were once his soldiers, who pulled down
images and crosses, and all such popish-
like stuff wherever they met with it,
now guarding his image and watching
over it, and his children and officers
following it, multitndes of the inhabit-
ants Of London gazing after it? This is
sad, said I, and a great pity. Is this
the end and final farewell Of once noble
Oliver:"
Edward Burrough concluded that it
was "a Judgement upon Cromwell to
be thus wronged after his death, because
he had suffered the servants Of the Lord
lthe Quakers) to be prosecuted and i'm
prisoned for crying against such things
as We're popish. He says that Cromwell
himself would have been angry at it.
Il knew the man when he was living
and had the knowledge Of his spirit
And lam persuaded if it had been asked
him in his lifetime # such az image
should be made like him, and then set
up in such a place, believe he would
have denied, I say, and said, 1T shall
not be there for me, when I am dead. ,
If it had been his bones," added the
Quaker, Il should not have had aught
against it, whereas it was but an image
made by hands, - So Burrough went
home and wrote his Testimony Against
Great IdOlatry. WESTMINSTER Gazette
