The case which was recently decided
by the supreme court of Illinois, remov-
ing the county seat of Woodford county
from Metamora to Eureka, is one of the
few cases in that state where an effort
to remove a county seat has resulted in
success. The laws of that common
wealth are framed in such manner as
10 render it almost impossible to Sc
cure a removal.
1t is required that the question Of re-
moval be submitted to a vote of the peo-
pie and that an election can only be
held every ten years.
The case just decided, says the st,
Louis Republic, is an interesting one,
and has yielded rich harvest to the
attorneys on both sides.

SNOWY and Beautiful Dresses Morning

racks ana Evening Gowns
at Hotel Hops.

lcoPYRlGHT, 1891
Saratoga, n. y, July 25.-l suppose
that next to politics, the chief subject
of conversation here when one wishes
to be serious and improving is intro
duced by the inevitable question:
"Have you read Howells' Saratoga
story yet?"
l think the question characteristic OF
the Saratoga frame of mind Any num-
Der of Howellses might write any num-
Der of stories about Newport, and no
genuine Newporter would bother her
head with wondering whether any other
person had read them or not. Pm afraid
the Newport point of view is less local,
less patriotic, less American. can
imagine tolerably well-informed New
porter looking up from her French
novel or from some dull British tome
and inquiring: "Who's Howells? Some
American writer, isn't hep"
There are other points of difference,
on the surface and underneath the sura
face. Saratoga is frankly American,
and l like it because it is. Upon the
endless miles of it's hotel piazzas, staid
middle aged matrons sit and knit or do
fancy work and talk, precisely as they
would at home. Up and down it's shaded
sidewalks, in the pleasant dusk, pretty
girls wander hand in hand; bareheaded,
as likely as not, just as they have run
out from the hotel after supper, pre-
cisely as they would at home. The
chief actors in Mr.. Howells' tale made
few friendships here, but that must
have been because they were 'stuck up"
or "stand offish, or some dreadful thing
of the sort. Besides, l am sure that
they are going to do better by and by.
Frankly, the girls are prettier in Sar-
atoga. fancy this is because they come
from many smaller towns, or if from
the cities, belong in circles not too
strenuously select" They do not have
to pursue the bugaboos of propriety so
closely. They are not putthrough such

HE rs STILL A BULL.

England stands today, facing all
Europe, and part of the new world,
as defiant and bull headed, as if it
was only an infant offering guage
of battle. Germany, Russia and
France, have formed an alliance,
and the United States 10 in no
mood to take any lip from the
Kingdom that has nothing to do
but manufacture royalty and live
on the sweat of the brow of their
subjects. Mr.. Bull has served notice
on Germany that he will not take
any insult and will fight if need be,
to protect the honor of the King
dom. He has been polSing fun at
our "Uncle Sam" of late, but he
knows he is a bully boy with a
glass optic" and will go little slow,
now, on that Venezuelan affair, and
try and keep in good fellowship
with him.
If he has to make fight with all
Europe he will let up on Vene-
zula for a time and this will give
our boys a chance to stay in the
field and make corn and wheat, to
furnish those old fools who fight,
with rations, at enormous figures.
England has powerful navy, s
wealthy, has soldiers headed by the
royalty and it will take all of
Europe to down them in fight.
We should think nation going to
war with England should stop long
enough to think what the con-
sequence might be.

THE CUBAN WAR.

General Gomez has begun his
march back to the Province OF
Pinar del Rio, bordering the coast.
il is now thought he is waiting for
arms and ammunition as well as
reinforcements before he makes
his final charge on the Capital city.
He is making some brilliant plays on
the checker board of war, and the
Spanish general is being made a
fool of at every turn.
The insurgents are said to be still
employing the torch in burning
plantations. They will not make a
stand to fight, and are proving
troublesome to the Spanish troops
on this account.
The reported success of the
Cubans had a great effect on Con
gress IN the way of working up a
boom for bellIgency. Neither the
Senatorial or Congressional com
mittees have made any report on
the various resolutions introduced
in regard to the belligency of Cuba
and it is thought that these rights
will be seriously considered before :
report is forthcoming.
Senator Sherman, the chairman
of the Senate Committee, is quoted
as sayings:
"If Havana should fall into the
hands of the insurgent Cubans
hands, the United States would un-
questionably accord them recog'
milton as a belligerent power 1t
is the custom whenever insurgents
gain a great aud decided victory or
advantage which seems to give
assurance OF ultimate success &c
accord them this recognition. The
capture of Havana would be al
once presage their ultimate sue
cess"
Senator Faulkner thinks thai
Cuban belligerency should be ac
knowledged if the the patriots cap
turc and hold any seaport. This h'
maintains would give them stand
ing they now lack.
Senator Berry takes somewhat
the same view as Senator Faulkner
He wants more information, how
ever, and is not sure what shoul(
be done.

A BIG ENTERPRISE.
The Steam Bakery Of John P Kline
EOW Under Full Headway.


The reporter has prmised himself
a lc1g time to go through the large
bakery establishment OF Mr.. John
p Kline Yesterday while the en-
gine was putting away, he took the
time to go through the establish
ment.
To commence, we will say that
we found new fonr horse power
engine, turning various machines,
which we learned from Mr. Kline,
contained ingredients which enter
ed into the manufacture OF bread,
cakes and pies.
Mr.. Kline first showed us his
dough mixer-it is an iron stand or
box, with a spiral armament that
revolves on the inside. This tum-
bier mixes the dough. This recep-
tacle holds stwo barrels of -four,
which are equal to 800 loaves OF
bread. The machine mixes the
dough ready for the mangle in thir-
ty minutes. The mangle, which IS
also run by steam, takes the dough
and in short order prepares it for
the oven.
The oven is a large one, having
a capacity of holding about 25O
loaves at a baking.
Mr.. Kline then pointed to acham-
piou cake machine, which was turn
ing out cakes at the rate of l, 900
pounds per day. These cakes are
known as jumbles and are made in
different sizes, shapes and season
ing. They are fast sellers, and are
used at luncheons and pic-nics in
large quantities.
The steam egg beater was next
pointed out, and it was charged
with the duty of beating up one
even gross of eggs, which it accom-
plishes in thirty minutes, so Mr..
Kline informed us.
There were four steam boxes,
which were connected to an upright
tubular boiler, for steam purposes,
and many roller tables were stand
ing ready to receive the cakes, pies
and bread, when lifted from the
oven, to be carried to the front OF
the house, where it is storedin box,
es made for the purpose.
Everything looked neat and clean
about the establishment.
Mr.. Kline said he had capacity
enough to furnish bread and ba
ker's goods for city twice the size
of Texarkana, and that he was re.
ceiving a good trade from the city
and quite a good patronage from
the small towns on the railroads
out of the city.
He is making a superior bread tC
what has heretofore been turned
out in the city, and hopes to con
tinue increasing his already large
trade.
He tells us he has the only steam
bakery in the State of Arkansas
and that if he receives a patronage
commensurate with the mouey in
vested in all this new machinery, h'
} will add plant, and manufacture
crackers.

Redeem treasury notes and green
backs In silver for a few weeks, and
the flow of gold to Europe would
stop, whenever the bankers and
brokers must giye up their reserve
to supply the demand, knowing they
cannot replenish by drawing from

an issue of bonds, there will be much
less demand. The fact is it now
appears as if there was colusion
between the authorities and money
bags to force another bond issue,
Any man of ordinary sense must
see that the present financial
