compass.

Once more we call attention to the fact that there are now in Mena fully 5000 people, and a few months will see large in- ctyase, who, when the coming spring arrives, will create a mar ket for large quantities of garden produce and small fruits, and that at present there seems to be no preparations in progress to supply this demand. With the lands all about us so well fitted for this class of agriculture 1t would cer- tainly show great lack of enter prise to allow so good market to go unsupplied.

Letters and inquiries from the North and East indicate the great interest centered in Mena. Our fine climate and the knowledge of the thoroughness with which our protecting mountains bar out the cold winds and blizzards will bring many who desire to estab- fish permanent homes, while the rapidity with which facts pertain ing to onr natural resources and business opportunities are spread ing will attract capitalists and in vcstors from every point of the cOmDaSS.

HE SAW PADDY, HE DID.
Bad Man with Blood in His Eye Runs
Against One Who Is "Badder.''

AS Patrolmen Flaherty and Lowry
were standing on the corner of Frank
lin avenue and Center street about 2.3O
o'clock yesterday morning Mike Duffy,
the famous, came out of the alley and
with blood in his eye inquired II they
had seen Paddy Moran.
Just gone into Ed HOrn's," replied
one of the officers, who moment be-
fore had seen the familiar figure Of the
ex-pugilist disappearing through the
screen door.
HE did. did he? Well, I want to see
him, see?" and with that Duffy rolled
up his shirt sleeves. doubled up his fist
and made bee line for Horns.
But he didn't go in. That is, he didn't
go all the way in. The policemen saw
him step across the threshold. then
suddenly pause and then come out head
foremost, landing in heap on the side
walk. When the officers reached his
side they found him unconscious and
had to work with him several minutes
before he could be brought to.
AS he was being bundled into a cab
one of the patrolmen asked him in a
gentlemanly sort of a way II he had
seen Paddy, but he would not deign to
answer
Paddy came out few minutes after
ward and innocently inquired. "Who
was that fellow that bumped against
the door coming in little while ago?"

MAYOR BAILEY'S POLICY.
Attitude He will Adopt with Reference
to the Board Of Health and
Positions II Has to Fill.

Mayor Bailey yesterday gave out to
a Tribune reporter his policy regarding
the board of health appointments which
are to be made next month
The mayor says he will confer with
the board of health and If the board
agrees with him as to who should be ap-
pointed he will allow 1t to name its own
ofiicers,as every board of health for the
past ten years has been privileged to do.
The offices Of food inspector and sani-
tary policeman he proposes to fill with
out considering the board Of health at
oil. The secretaryship, the position of
health officer and the superintendency
Of the crematory will be left to the mem
bers Of the board Of health to fill as they
may deem best. Keeping in mind, how
ever. that they must "agree' with His
Honor as to who are the proper men for
these positions.
The conference at which the members
Of the board Of health are expected to be
present and agreeable will take place
during the coming week. The board
starts next Monday or Tuesday on Its
annual inspection of the reservoirs and
upon the completion Of this task they
will be called in to talk over the ap-
pointments.
Reorganization occurs on the first
Friday in July, which will this year,
fall on the third of the month. Colonel
Ripple Is the only member Of the board
whose term expires on that day. He
will most likely be re-appointed. The
administration expected that there
would be two appointments to be made,
believing that membership on the poor
board and board of health was forbidden
by the law relating to incompatability
of offices, and that DR.. Paine would have
to resign, but contrary to expectation,
and doubtlessly wishes City Solicitor
Torrey ruled that the offices are not
incompatible and DR.. Paine will hold
over
A hard battle Is being waged by DR..
O'Malley for Health Officer Aliens place
but Is likely that the mayor If disposed
to favor DR.. O'Malley's aspirations will
have to use his most convincing argu-
ments to induce the board Of health to
agree to Dr. Aliens displacement. The
board will also struggle against any at
tempt His Honor may make to have
them agree with him that Nathan Vida
YER. W. w. Baylor. Frank McAndrew
and his own brother. f. H. Bailey,
would make better man than Walter
Briggs in the Office Of secretary.
Henry LOTUS. the superintendent of
the crematorv, is also giving excellent
satisfaction and the board will not will
ingly agree to his removal. While the
board would like to see Captain Burke
retained as sanitary officer, the proba-
bilities are that the members will not
even be consulted about him or Food
Inspector Thomas. John c. Roche and
Thomas Cullen being slated, respective
ly for these two offices.

The manufacturers committee report
ed adversely on the proposition OF
George d. Hedian, Of New York city to
organize u s500,0O0 corporation In this
city, for the purpose Of manufacturing
weldless and seamless steel tubes. The
committee did not deem It advisable ow-
ing to the present condition of business,
to ask our capitalists to go into an en-
terprise of this character at the present
time. The report Of the committee con-
tinued:
Since our last report, q company has
been organized in this city for the pur-
pose Of manufacturing BICYCLES The
company is capitalized at $4,000. Mr.. J.
A. Mears has been elected president, w.
]. Hand treasurer. Edward Vernoy Sec
retary, and II. G. Holmes superintendent.
They have leased the old Wightman plant
on Washington avenue. and are now put
ting In place the necessary machinery.
They expect to have the BLACK Diamond
wheel on the market In week or ten days.
Messrs. s. G. Barker & Sons have also
added bicycles to their product. They ex-
pect soon to place on the market wheel
to be known as the Anthracite" Both
concerns will make high grade wheels
only. The manufacture of bicycles In this
city promises soon to become an indus
try of no little Importance.
We also beg to offer the following reso-
luton, and recommend It's adoption, to
wit:
Resolved, That the July and August
meetings OF the board be dispensed with.

Madison Square Garden, New York, in
about three weeks when the Got5amites
will have an opportunity OF hearing Mr..
Bryan's matchless eloquence and judge
Of his ability.
James Hamilton Lewis was placed IN
nomination for vice president, at Chica-
20. by Delegate Mallory and received IL
votes, three OF them being from outside
of this state. On account Of the geo.
graphical residence OF Mr.. Lewis, the
nomination was only rendered as grace
full compliment to the Seattle Cicero.
Alternate ]. D. Medill, Of this city, had
an opportunity to vote for the next vice
president; for, after the nomination OF
Mr.. Bryan, Delegate McCrosky left for
home turning over his seat in the con-
yention to Mr.. Medill. The latter, with
Delegates White and Fenton, signed
call asking National Committeeman Hugh
Wallace to resign on account OF his not
being in accord with the platform as re-
CARDS to silver. Up to date Mr.. Wallace
has shown no disposition to comply with
the request, although If he should do SO
there would be no protest eminating from
the democrats in this state who feel that
deIicacy and the interests OF the party
would dictate such course to Mr.. Wal
lace.

Hop Grorer under date Of June 23d says !:
Reports from the plantations which
have just come to hand, show that the
blight 10 persistent and dangerous, aud
though generally speaking the plants are
vigorous and healthy. there are very
weak spots here and there, which must
reduce the crop. Therefore, on the
whole We are inclined to conclude that
the present chances OF the market are 10
favor OF sellers, and that holders, by
holding on, will be benefited. At any
rate. those who have weathered the
storm thus far, should, we think be able
to stick to the storm little longer, es-
pecially when gleam OF sunshine is
piercing the clouds. and the waves seem
to be getting perceptibly less rough.
Such an attitude on the part Of holders.
will improve the tone OF business, and
increase the desire Of buyers to cover
themselves. Thus further advances may
probably be obtained, which the prosper
GUS brewers can well afford to pay, and
which the suffering planters will be very
pleased to pocket.
