There Is a stock story of New
Hampshire man who is fond of telling
thrilling tales of his deeds of valor dur
ing the civil war. well. now, there's
one thing should really like to know"
said one of his neighbors, after listen
ing to a particularly incredible tale:
II should really like to know how
many of them. gray coated fellows Hi
ram did actually and of a fact make
away with and, as il were. kill" Il
don't know for certain" spoke up an
other neighbor. but 1t appears TO me
that when you come right down to
hard-pan, Hiram probably killed Just
about as many of them as they did Of
him!"

From the Boston transcript
The business of exchanging sick bugs
for well ones is to be conducted on
large scale this year Prof. Frank II.
Snow, chancellor of the State univer-
sity of Kansas, is in charge of Ii with
an appropriation from the legislature
to back him. Just now he is getting
into order his hospital for insects. in
which the latter are treated. not for
the purpose of curing them of any
thing, but to inoculate them artificially
with horrible diseases.
During the coming summer anybody
who chooses to send a healthy cinch
bug to Professor Snow viii receive
from him in return a diseased speci-
men OF the same species. Last season
consignments of sick insects were for
warded to 5000 farmers in Kansas
alone and packages of them were
shippepd by express to various local
tiles in eight other states. The recip-
tents scattered the bugs in their fields
the object being to spread a plague
among the cinch bugs that were dam
aging the crops.
This is a new idea. The theory that
some of the most injurious insects may
be kept in check by spreading diseases
among them artificially is being ap-
piled by practical experiments in Eu-
rope as well as in this country. Pro-
fessor Shows work in this direction
has been attended with much success,
the destructive cinch bug being well
nigh annihilated over whole districts

park adjacent to the Falls. Its stately
grove, welLkept lawns, decorated with
flowers, dotted with fountains and set
tees and interlaced with driveways
and promenades, all impress one that
he is ent ,ring the most attractive and
inspiring place on earth.
The rushing, foaming, laundering
waters are Gods orchestra, sounding
forth perpetual welcome. There is a
feeling of awe which comes oyer one as
he draws near the embankment. He
looks, and no mortal tongue can tit
tingly describe what he sees. He may
have read the best description ever
written of this enchanting place; he
may have allowed his imagination to
paint the most beautiful picture of this
masterpiece, but nothing read or con-
ceived will compare with the beauty
and grandeur here spread out before
him. To add to these charms, God
takes the beauties of the sky and earth
and so combines them as to present the
grandest effect. He borrows the tints
from the sunlight, and constructs
crown of glory, and hangs it oyer the
white foaming waters at the base of the
Falls, 80 that, while the sun shines,
there is perpetual rainbow. These
are some of the charms of Niagara in
the summer time.
Niagara in winter is scene in ma
ture beyond description. If the Falls
in summer are beautiful, so magnifi-
cent that tongue, pen, and brush fail
to set forth their true loveiiness, much
less are they able to convey an adequate
conception of the grandeur of this
mighty cataract when clothed in the
mantle woven by Winters master art
list. Then the overhanging cliffs are
covered with transparent sheets of sill
very white. Glittering wreaths of lei
c1es, like jeweled diadems, CLEAN on
the brow of every projecting rock and
jutting crag.
On either side of the river, before
reaching the Falls, there Is an ice
bound fortification through which the
rushing waters leap and dance as
though safe from every foe. Pieces of
floating ice from the lakes above are
thrown over the precipice and pile
themselves up at the base of the Falls
until natural bridge is formed over
which thousands of people pass from
shore to shore, and under which the
foamlng waters rush down into the
quiet retreat Of the rocky caverns be-
low.
The rising mist, which in the sum-
mer time Is as the bridal veil to this
fair picture, in winter is transformed
into silvery frozen spray, glittering In
the sunlight like myriads of diamonds
and standing out, here and there, in
graceful forms like the half finished
work of an artist.
The waters themselves, always a
beautiful green, are infinitely more
brilliant in winter, set in landscape of
sparkling silver, and the sun which
paints his colOrs so beautifully, in the
summer time, on the bow of promise
spanning the Falls, In the winter shows
himself in magnificent splendor, not
only in the rainbow, but as he flashes
from every gllttering gem and shines
through every Icy prism. To FULLY APP
preciate the "Roaring Niagara" one
must see it.

SENATOR BEN TJLLMAN.

Senator Tiilman passed through
here today en- route to Dallas from
Little Rock and was met by
many of our citizens at the depot
who gave him the hand shake of 16
to |. The train remained here
thirty minutes and during this
time the Senator was surrounded by
the people and conversed with them
on national questions. He was ask
ed to come back here and make a
speech, out he said he had all the
dates made he could possibly fill.
Mr.. Tillman is a trough looking
diamond" kind of man not pretty
yet not repulsive. He has one eye
out and it gives his face an awk-
ward appearance. His looks show
that he is a man of his word and
when he said the Congress of the
United States was filled with rascals,
he meant what he said and would
have fought barrel of wild cats
before he would have retracted the
assertion.

The Arkansas Democrat of re-
cent date says: "The statistics of
deaths by states compiled in the
cencus Office for the census report
OF 1890 give Arkansas death rate
of 12.17 for each thousand inhabi-
tants. Our total population is
| 1,128, l79, and the total number OF
deaths for the period covered by
the census report IA, ,39l. OF this
number Z ,695 were males, and 6,696
females. Few other states are
given a smaller death rate than
Arkansas. A comparison with the
census report of 1890 shows decid-
ed improvement over the rating
given us that year The death rate
in Arkansas in the report of the
tenth census was 18 46 to every
thousand inhabitants. The differ
ence is nearly 6 per cent in favor OF
the last report. The evidence is
conclusive that the general state of
health is improving in this state,
and as it now stands Arkansas has
better rating than twenty-four
other states, and ouly few Western
states make better showing"

United States in relation to the re-

of the United States throughout
the war in Cuba deserves to be Sc
verely condemned. Europe cannot

for if the Monroe doctrine allows
America to drive the Spaniards out

the English and French out of the
Antilles and perhaps that is the

JUDGE RUFUS HARDY.
Speaks to an Attentive Audience at
the West Side City Hall.

Judge Rufus Hardy, Chairman OF
the Texas sound money Committee,
discussed the financial issues of the
day at the West side City Hall last
night. Judge Hardy is sound
money bimetaIist. He believes
that the gold dollar should be the
measure of value and that we should
have as much silver as our circulat'
ing medium will absorb aud carry
without detriment to the parity,
and full and free interchangableness
of every dollar with every other
dollar. He states that free coinage
at the ratio of l6 to meant silver
monometalism meant dishonesty and
disaster, that such course would re-
suit in national retrogression and
isolation and hardship to the in
dividual. He slaughtered, from his
standpoint, some of the silver
myths such as-''the dollar of the
daddies," redemption money"
"hard times" "the crime of 73" and
others.
His discourse was by tar the
strongest ever heard in this COM
munity on the subject in hand and
was enthusiastically received by a
refnd and intelligent audience.
Judge Hardy is an accomplished
orator and his very being vlbrates
with an honesty of purpose. He is
neither an Office holder nor an Office
seeker and makes free to discuss
public men and measures without
fear or favor.
He made many friends here in the
short time he tarried with us.

a STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

At a meeting of the Board of
Trade last night the secretary was
instructed to write to the South
western Telephone Company and
ask them to reduce the rates on
telephones and put in large ex-
change in Texarkana.
This is a step in the right direc
ton, and we hope it will result in a
great deal of good to Texarkana.
Pine Bluff, Shreveport, Hot Springs,
and other cities about the size of
Texarkana have about 800 each
and why not Texarkana have 300
at least.
With 300 telephones we would
have about 175 in residences and
125 in business houses. The former
at $1.0O each per month and the
latter at $500 per month will pro-
duced an income of $500 a year.
The expenses to operate such a
plant would be about as follows:
