King George Sends Telegram to Emperor
 Nicholas Urging intervention
 ATHENS, June 1.-King George paid visit to M. Onou. the Russian minis ter Saturday, and after two hours interview, sent long telegram to Emperor Nicholas, urging him to in tervene on behalf ofsGreece. Turkeys continued arming and reported Russian preparations, with other rumors of a bellicose character, raise the hope that Greece may get benefit from general European war. But the majority of the nations, sobered by sad expert ence, is only desirous that Europe shall protect Greece against her conqueror.
 The reports of alarming anti-dynas- tic troubles, published abroad, cause surprise here, as there is no sign of any such movement, nor is any prominent politician likely to commit him. self to an anti-dynestic programme. It appears that the prince of Wales has expressed his personal de- sire that Crown Prince Constantine should come to London for the jubilee festivities, and this is regarded as in- dicative of English good will toward Greece

 HAVANA, June 1.-The commission conducting the inquiry into the cir cumstances surrounding the death of Dr. Ruiz closed it's labors at an early hour Saturday. A messenger from Washington came from Tampa on the steamer Mascotte, but did not land. MT. Fishbaclz, secretary of the commis- sion, accompanied by Consul-General Lees son, went on board the steamer before she sailed and held brief con sultation with the stranger and it Is supposed that they handed to him the report of the commission and other important dispatches from Consul-Gen- eral Lee and Mir. Calhoun, who was se- lected to investigate Dr. Ruiz's death, to be taken to the state department at Washington. The messenger was reg istered upon the Mascotte's inward passenger list as H. ". Kimball, and the same name appears on the steam er's outward list.

THE CORN CROP.
Favorable Reports Received from Iowa,
 Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas.
THE KNEIPP WATER CURE.
Resort Similar to the One at Woerishofen to Be Established at New York The Fad Spreading
 Rapidly.

NHlCAGO, June i.- hepOrIS received by the Corn Belt from more than 600 correspondents in Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas show that corn planting has been practically finished and that the conditions of weather and ground are highly favorable. Plant ing was finished from one to three weeks later than last year. Rains in Nebraska have placed the ground in excellent condition, and if the present warm, bright weather continues vege- tation will have a rapid growth during the next few weeks, Corn blowing will be in full swing next week, and under the present favorable weather conditions will be prosecuted vigor- ously.
 h Iowa corn planting has been pushed to practical completion. So favorable has been the weather that corn is coming up rapidly and cultiva- tion has already commenced in many localities, It is generally believed that the late SC ason will not have any seri- ous effect on the crop if the present weather holds good during the month of June.
 Heavy rains have fallen along the northern counties of Kansas and the ground is now in excellent condition Corn blowing is now under way. The warm, bright weather which has gen erally prevailed in Missouri during the past two weeks has brought the corn out of the ground and cultivation is now going on in many localities. About three-fourths of the crop was big enough to blow during the last week of May and blowing will be general during the first week of June. Reports as to acreage of corn in Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and northern Kansas confirm previous re- ports to the Corn Belt that there will be material increase. The condition of winter wheat in the above states is not all that could be desired and the crop will be much below the average in the west. The outlook for spring wheat in Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Northern Kansas Is much better than year ago. The fruit outlook is encouraging.
 The Kneipp Water Cure.
 NEW YORK, June 1.-The American Kneipp Cure Co. has purchased 106 acres of land in Mamaronecl1 and will establish there resort similar to the famous water cure at Woerishofen in Suabia. Plans have been made for the immediate construction of main sanitarium building costing S300,000, and the whole tract will be made into an ideal resort, with every luxury and beauty Father Kneipp's system of water cure has spread over the country with remarkable progress. Within the last 12 months more than 10000 people have tried the treatment for all manner of ills One of .he latest patients is ex-Gov Altgeld, of Illinois. The reports of the early morning walks by barefooted men and women in Central park did more to at- tract attention throughout the country than anything else, and since the Kneipp cure has rapidly become fad.

 KANSAS CITY, Mo, June LA nervy thief, clearly professional, with slight aid from a confederate, came within an ace of securing $500 worth of diamonds from LeRoy Carton, a jeweler at 1231% Grand avenue, Satur- day afternoon. He attempted the old, but slick, trick of substituting an empty envelope for one contain ing the diamonds. Suspicious of his customer, Mir. Carton at once detected the swindle, chased the thief into the street and for half block and grappled with him only to let him go when the dia- monds had been restored to him. AL though the exciting episode occurred on a business street and Mr. Carton kept yelling for help at the top of his voice, the bold thief escaped

were III every way cOnVln eng.
 This town is fifty miles south of
 Mena on the K. C., P. & G. rail
 way in Sevier county, and is ele
 gantly located on hioh rolling land thoroughly drained, present. ing an attractive appearance to all who view it. It is laid out whole ly upon one slde-to the west of the railway track, and the bus mess portion is destined to be on the two principle streets, De Queen and Stilwell avenues, on the elevated grounds between the station and the court house square and all two blocks away from the station.
 The block set apart for the court house is an elegant site, be- ing high and commanding. The Townsite company is now building large hotel which is nearly ready for use, it being 35x110 feet, two stories, and containing twenty seven rooms. Two other hotels are under construction by private parties, one to be 4Sx60 and the other 40x50, both two stories. Aside from these there are now being built fully forty business places and residences, and they are nearly all of a good grade of buildings, better than are usually built in new towns.
 J. de Goeiien, Jr., of Amster- dam, Holland, for whom the town was named, has caused to be built four neat cottages that attract at tention, all being painted a canary color.
 Dc Queen will soon have al newspaper, the De Queen Bee, to be run by J. W. Bishop and w. A. Boyd, who have their office there and are preparing to issue a paper in q few days.
 The Company has built a nice new passenger depot, much after the style of the other depots along the line, and it is now receiving the finishin touches. At present the popular hostclry is the Hotel de Horse, kept in the old log house winch was the old farm house prior prior to the land being pur chased and the town laid out. It is kept by Mir. and Mrs. J. B. Wright, and they serve excellent meals.
 There are in De Queen now  twelve stores, each carrylng good stocks of goods. The large terri tory of good farm lands in the Cossatot valley tributary insurcs this as a good trading place, as people will go there for distance of twenty to thirty miles to mar ket their produce and get their supplies.
 The timber in this section of country is most excellent, com- prising the best wagon timber known in Arkansas, there being a great abundance of white oak and hickory. There are now three saw mills and planers near, also a large barrel stave factory, turning out its products and shipping dl- rect to Germany.
 Any one desiring further ln- formation should address the De Queen Land and Townsite Co.,, De Queen, Seyier county, Ark. We are indebted to the members of this firm, F. A. Craig and A. H. Burg, also to J. W. Bishop, of

instead of the elements OF strength and
