The Prodigaps Return.

If walking yves good between here and Africa, we would not be called on to chronicle the return of one or two of the beguiled emigrants to that country, but could .lumpn the whole.
 Wyatt Mash and wife. of this city. are the latest arrival. They landed at Brooklyn on the 20th of last month, ac- companied by Warren Peterson and wife, of Madison; Carrie Brown, Della Brown, G. Brown and Oliver Brown. of Little Rock; RIch Rice and Mamie Rice, of Kansas City; Sarah and Bertie Earl, of Connecticut; all colored.
 Nash speaks discouragingly of Africa and corroborates what others have said. He says it IS no good, and 1t is onl} d question ofsa short time when all who left here will be dead, unless brought nome.
 Every ship that lands is besieged by people begging 10 be carried away. He SAYS more is wasted in St. Francis county tAan the people over there get to eat. Money is scarcer than hens teeth, and morals are at a low ebb.

"And There are Others"

The l.. k. & NJ. Ky. company have, in measure, supplied the demand for d double daily train service, by attach ing regular passenger coach to their freight trans. Thi. train passes here. going east at 5:l0 am, arriving at Hopefeld about 9 o'clock. Baggage will be checked and carried on these freights,as usual upon passenger trains, and one may thus have almost full day in Memphis, returning same even ing in time for supper. Another in- novation is that all trains stop at all stations heretofore known as flag sta tions, and tickets are sold thereto, and the penny change system used. Tine single fare each way is Sl 55 to Mem phis, Sl 30 to lIopefeld; the coach on freight only goes to Hopedeld.
 These rates will greatly increase the travel, as they are the lowest ever known here. There never was time Lnlil now when person could go to the Bluff City from this point for Sl 5.
 The L. R. & NJ. will also use the penny system. For instance the round trip fare on regular passenger trains tQ Memphis and return will be $2.79.

Among the Fishes.


 Among the numerous fishing parties rom this city last Monday none was Inf more interest than that colnposed of Chas. II. Sanders, II. Jennings. Ed Landvolgt, F. J. sanders, Isaac W Ddchanan, Rufus Fondren and the two indispensable "Jims.r Beinr reeoe- recognized as experts, much was cx. pec'ed of them. But owing to many lit tie accidents and incidents. their rem. tatlon as anglers suffered, for they only caught enough to eat 7"
 The fish" was gotten up for the oeneht of "our euests.n Mr. F. ]. San. uetS "ne Prof. Isaac ". Buchanan, of Leoanon, Tenn, strangers in our midst, w1ose only experience in inc plscatorial line was casting pin hook In Barton's creek for suckers and bull. heads.
 Almost at the start runaway caused the authorization of the entire party in 'he supply wagon" but tlis little in- cideht did not mar the pleasure of the Journey to Fishing Lake, but rather aided to if, for it brought them all within touch. And here let it be said It was left to strangers to tell us f tie magnificent drive and beautiful scene " along the river bank. Messrs. San. der and Buchanan were unstinled in thelr admiration of our beautiful coun. try, and frequently called attention 10 some beautiful handiwork of the great Architect, which had hitherto been passed by nnnoticed. Before the Lake was reached, thronQh the magnificent descriptive powers of Prof. Buchanan. our party realized that they were tray cling through the Eden of America.
 Like war horses snufling the battle from afar," rush was made for poles and lines and dugouts. and the fight commenced, and 1t was not long before the pin hook artists led the van. Under the tireless patience of these artists the live bag soon began to bulge it's sides. The fish weIe wary of the minnow and troll, buf took the red worm freely.
 X fish dinner. under the supervision of Chas. Il. Sanders, means moro than words can express, and resulted in the gorging of everybody. The menu consisted of the following courses: fish and bread, fish and onions, fish and pickles, fish and coffee, fish and lemon. ade, fish and etc, etc,
 Early in the morning Messrs. Land- voigt and F. J. Sanders were placed hors de combat by ndlsposi,icn-not lndlscretion-and had to retire from the field, and while reclining under the umbrageous foliage of pecan and gum the language of the poet laureate of Little Rock was viyidly recalled to mind:
 :" How sweet to sit beneath the shade,
 And quail the ice-cold lemonade,
 And slowly feel the little ants,
 Go creeping up your summer pants"
 The summing up of the day $ pleasure resulted in knighting the strangers in our midst" as champions of the picato- rial art. and the awarding of d trophy to F. J. Sanders in the shape of fish line, capable of holding minnow or d whale.
 
 Thus ended the celebration of the Galorious Fourth by the Forrest City Angling Club.

REFORM SCHOOL REVOLT
The Inmates Seek to Put Their
Military Education Into
Practice.

The quiet. peace and dignity of the
ceremonies by which j. NJ. Hart of this
city was inducted into the office of su-
perintendent of the reform school yes
terday afternoon, was disturbed by an
uprising among the boys confined at
the institution.
The youthful warriors armed with
rifles and supplied with plenty of am
munition. threatened to make short
work of the new superintendent and al
SO inttmated their intention of driving
the remainder Of the employees and Off
GERS into Soldier creek
The excitement attending this mani
festatiOn of blood-thirstiness on the
part of the boys was not altogether en-
couraging to Mr.. Hart. 1t required,
however, the exercise of all the infiu-
ence and force at the command of the
incoming officers as well as the out
going officers to put down the rebellion.
It was trying hour for the people
occupying official positions and it was
only after a great fright that the boys
were quieted-
The practice of drilling the reform
school boys in true military style was
inaugurated a few years ago and the
state military board granted the re-
quest of the management of the insti-
tuition to be permitted to use guns and
paraphernalia belonging to the state.
A full supply of military accOutrements
was loaned to the reform school, since
Whlcn time the young nOpeIQIS nave
been drilled in the arts of war, but ap-
parently not in the science of peace.
Little did the officers Of the institu-
ton imagine that the first time the
company of cadets would go to war
would be for the purpose of killing off
a new superint tendent and making the
employees selected to aid him in the
administration of the government of
the institution, seek safety in the un-
derbrush along the Soldier. Yet, this
is just what happened yesterday.
The boys had secured possession Of
their guns and a supply of cartridges
and We're apparently having a merry
making on the green. but in reality the
plot was only being harched up. The
scheme was first to resist a change in
the mana cement, but if Mr.. Hart in
sisted on taking charge he was to be
disposed of in the most efectual man
ner which presented itself, in true Dead
wood Dick style.
Having become rid of the officers. the
boys were to make a break for liberty
and escape apprehension by taking to
the fastnesses of the large bodies Of
timber in the immediate vicinity.
When the nature of the scheme in
which the boys were Interested leaked
out, the first though was to get a half
dozen sharp sticks and prod them into
submission, but this was at once aban-
doned, because some of the older heads
cautioned wisdom in dealing with the
youngsters. Finally after considerable
planning and much lowering behind
brick walls, the crowd of Instruction
lists were induced to call off the dogs of
war and the excitement ended.
However, all the guns which have
been in use at the school have been re-
turned to the adjutant general and the
military drill which the boys viii here
after indulge in will not be with regu-
latton rifles but with broomsticks-

MUST HAVE BILL OF HEALTH
Sanitary Commission is Preparing to
Make an Important Order

The state live stock sanitary com
mission is contemplating making an
order requiring a bill of health upon
cattle shipped into the state from the
counties adjoining the United States
quarantine line in the Panhandle coun-
Try.
Although these counties. about fifteen
I'm number, are this side of the line the
commission feels that it would be safer
We're cattle accompanied by a bill of
health from the point of origin as to
shipment. This would also avoid the
expense which comes to the state under
the present system.
The board has also been notified of
some irregularities among owners of
cattle. who having driven them across
the quarantine line into southeastern
Kansas, shipped from there, as though
the cattle were raised or had been fed
in the county to which they We're
driven This is a crime under the law
The commission Will investigate the
matter by a personal visit and if the
information which the members have
already received proves correct, prose
cution will follow
