fine Livery Barn.

One of the surest signs of the rap
idly increasing business of Lamar, as
well as one OF the finest buildings
ever put up here, is the new stone
livery barn now being built by j.
W. Golladay. A great increase in his
business has forced him to find new
quarters.
The new barn is to be 50xl10 feet,
two stories, the front wall being 2S
feet high, and the rear wall "a feet
1t is to be built OF stone with flat roof,
and when completed will be the larg-
est and finest livery barns in the Ar
kansas valley.
The front so feet of the first floor
is divided as follows: the north sec
ton 14z50 will be cut up into two
rooms, an office aud waiting room; (;
the south room 36x50 will be the
carriage room, and will have heavy
stone floor, and be fitted up with a
view to the special care of all kinds
Of rigs. The rear so feet will be the
stable room. There will be two large
box stalls and four tiers of double
and single stalls, giving aecommoda-
tions for As horses.
The front portion OF the second
floor will be used as storage room
for carriages and will be connected
with the lower floor by an elevator.
1t will also have dust proof paint
shop in connection. The rear portion
Of the second floor win be divided in
to hay loft with capacity for forty
tons, and large bin for oats
Mr.. Golladay says that instead OF
the barn being too large for the town,
Lamar will in year or two outgrow
the barn, and he will have to build an
addition on out TO the alley.

Sublime Impotence.

The following dispatch was printed in
last evenings edition, under the date of
Madrid:
THE queen regent has ordered that spe-
cial surveillance be exercised at the Span
ish ports On all arrivals from United States
ports, in consequence of the outbreak of
yellow fever in some of the southern states"
The latest issue of the Public Health
REPORTS issued weekly by the Marine
Hospital Service in this city, contains a
table showing the number of deaths in the
city Of Havana during the past six weeks.
1t states that in the period named there
have been ISL deaths from yellow fever in
that city, an average of more than %
deaths each week. Doubtless other deaths
should have been ascribed to the same dis
ease. but according to the statement of the
official sending the report many yellow
fever deaths were given under the head
of enteric fever and enteritis Notwith-
standing this subterfuge 1t appears that

A bicycle rider was run down and seri-
ously hurt yesterday by rapidly driven
delivery wagon. According to the reports
the accident was due solely to the careless
ness of the driver. This is the second
similar instance within few days It is

class of vehicles. The bicycles, the wagons
and the private equipages are ali to he
regulated by the application of speed
limit and a rule requiring the exercise of
great care at all points. The wheel user
must be particularly considered because in
a great majority Of cases where collisions
occur 1t is the person on the bicycle who
gets the worst of the shock. The wheel
man can, as a rule, avoid distractions
more readily than can driver but he runs
a far greater risk of suffering serious
bodily injury or even death, while his prop
erty is in danger to larger extent. These
facts tend to suggest that the check of
police supervision should be applied with
severity to those drivers who show dis
position to regard the streets as their own
particular preserves and all bicyclists and
pedestrians as treSpaSSers.

proud of his Indian blood. The Indians are
today stronger in Mexico than those of
pure Spanish extraction. This is the day
of the Mexican, and the fidelity with which
Diaz has chung to The native traditions of
his land has given him prestige among his
people. This may account in measure
for the rage Of the people of the capital the
other day. wnen it became known than a
man had raised his hand against the presi-
dent
An effort was made by the authorities to
minimize the affair. The assault was even
said to have been the effort of the assail-
ant to embrace Diaz in a moment of ex-
cessive patriotism. aided by over-indulgence

after examination. the man had been re-
leased from custody as harmless char
acter of eccentric; manners. 1t was a
shrewd move. though it did not calm the
POP uace. 1t Is highly desirable that the
government should seek to discourage the
notion that there is any tendency in Mexico
to seek the death of the ruler. Heretofore
Diaz has been quite free from such danger,
and his personal movements have not been
accompanied by the fear of assassina ton.
The power of suggestion was recognized.
and to offset it the government apparently
hoped to create the impression that the
act of independence day was that of
harmless enthusiast. 1t would be most I'M
fortunate for Mexico il there should now

of the president and the creation of politi
cal chaos. to which such tragedy would
surely tend.

Yesterdays test over the lexington street
railway line showed that the air motor can
run satisfactorily over at least one section
of that road on a single charge, drawing a
heavy extra burden. stopping and starting
at intervals and completing the run with
stored air sufficient to carry the car a mile
and a half further. If this performance
be accepted as typical of the motor ard
as Indicative of its capacity under general
service conditions 1t is proper to ask what
reason now exists for tearing up the sur
face of the city in order to supply pipes
along the line. If the power station in
lexington is sufficient as the test indi-
Gates, for al the purposes of the line that
runs thence into the city and to Brook

ceiver's demand for a permit to lay pipes
under the streets to allow the re-chargins
of the motor at the terminus and at stated
intervals along the line? The test and the
Observation-Disclosures proposition do not hang
together and the Commissioners should
take note of the fact.

The border tribesmen in India who have
taken the field against the British are
causing great deal more trouble than was
at first thought possible. They are rallying
in such numbers and showing such prep
aratio1s for war as to suggest widespread
and well organized conspiracy, encouraged
from quarter higher than their own. The
Ameer of Afghanistan has been suspected
of being the inspiring force. but he protests
that he is innocent Russia is likewise sus-
Pected, but, as usual. she has given no
warrant for more than suspicion. She
plays all of her games with adroitness, and
in that part of the world particularly has
occasion for the exercise of her best
talents. She has long been eager to push
her line forward there, and little doubt
exists that if she can use those border
tribes now at any time to her advantage
she will do SO.
But Great Britain has so much at stake
and is so watchful and resourceful, she is
not likely to be taken at disadvantage
Every English-speaking friend of civiliza-
ton must wish her success in the engage
Inent, no matter what the scope or sgnifi-
canoe of the revolt may be. Her power in
India has operated only for good. From
the days of Give she has done for that
country what no other nation could have
done. Its development. all things consid-
cred. has been one of the wonders of Brit
ish accomplishment. Some of her best gifts

and the land today. with it's natural pro-
ductiveness in trained and capable hands,
and its native population enjoying the

genius of the English people for organizing
and sustaining government.
Russia is Great Britain's only possible
rival in that quarter of the globe. and as
between those two powers. Great Britain's
continued control in India, with all that it
promises and implies, is greatly to be de-
sired, not only in India's interests, but in
the interests of progress whereabouts. We
may with justice criticise Great Britain's
highhandedness in many things. and with

Section -.

The Attorney Generals opinion in the
matter of section ~ of the Dingley tariff
law is doubtless sound piece of reasoning
Mr.. Mckenna's experience as lawyer, legi5-
lator and judge enabled him to grasp the
question in all of it's bearings, and to deal
with it in it's largest significance. The
whole matter, in effect, has been referred
back to Congress. and in all probability
discussion of it. and maybe some action
will be taken by that body at the coming
session.
Turning from the purely legal phase of
the question. into which only trained law
yers may safely hope to enter and consid-
ering otner phases of it within the general
reach. it is a good thing to see this i'm
portant matter brought out sharply for
general discussion. 1t is agreed that Sec
ton - was aimed at the Canadian Pacific
railroad, which is rival for business with
railroads in the United States. But it is
true that discriminating duties had only
been considered feature to help re-
establish the American merchant marine
The St Louis platform promised to ere
store the early American policy Of tlscrim-
mating duties for the upbuilding of cur
merchant marine and the protection of our
shipping in the foreign trade" and Mr.
MCKINLEY. in his letter of acceptance, said ::
The policy Of discriminating duties in ia
vor of our shipping which prevailed in the
early years of our history should be again
promptly adopted by Congress- How far
railroad transportation enters into the
question is now for the first time fully I'm
derstood. and hence Congress ought to be
provided with opportunity to pass specifi-
cally On that point. THE upbuilding of our
merchant marine is 4 widely extended
aspiration. and wise and just policy to
that end would find general acceptance.
But whatever is done should be done
openly and in the light of full discussion
The significance of section - was not gen
orally understood at the time of it's enact
ment. This may be asserted without
charging anybody with q trick. or with d
desire to obtain benefits under false pre-
lenses. Surely, when the discovery of SO
important a matter in the tariff bill came
as surprise 10 both Speaker Reed anG
Mr.. Dingley. it cannot be denied that this
paragraph of the bill escaped the attention
to which it was entitled. But erything
stands forth in clear outline now and if
Congress considers it necessary and proper
to extend the scope of discriminating du-
ties let it say SO in plain terms.
