OUR NEIGHBORS.
Desha County News.
From the Arkansas City journal

FROM the AFkHUStls Nlty JOufDhi.l
Maj. W. B. Street,, Of Lake
Village, was a visitor to the city
Tuesday.
Judge James F. Robinson, of
Pine Bluff, passed through the
city last Saturday en- route home
from ohicot County.
Capt Frank Loyns reports the
river trade between Greenville and
this place much better than usual
at this season.
Bids we're let for the Panther
Forrest enlargement work on Tues
day, and MeBain Bros, will get the
work, their bid being $23.99 pro-
vided Lieutenant Newcomer does
not conclude to put up the work
with day labor
Capt. Kerr and Mr.. VIM. White,
of the Louisiana State Board of
Egineers, are in the city engaged
in cross-sectioning the levee in our
'front.' preparatory to building it
up to standard gage. No work on
our entire Ieyee is of more impor-
lance than this and we hope to see
good results from their visit.
We are advised that the contract
for building the Cypress Greek
bridge on the Dumas and Pendle-
ton road was let to Contractor
Ridgeway of Dumas, Mr. Ridgeway
having filed his bond yesterday,
and expressing his intention OF
commencing work at once.
Mr.. w C. HALEY was in the city
last Friday and Saturday. While
here he made this office a pleasant
visit, and informed US that he had
made an Improvement on the cattle
guard recently invented by himself.
The one he now has is much simpler
and can be manufactured much
cheaper.
The eolored people of this city
conceived and executed a scheme
last year by which they could erect
a church house on their lot back of
town without much cost to any Of
their members. They planted a
crop Of cotton to be cultivated and
harvested by the members and the
proceeds we're to be used as above
stated. We understand they reali-
zed something over $500 from the
crop, and will soon begin the
erection of the First Baptist
Church. This plaizly demonstrates
that our colored people are enter
prising and entertain a religious
feeling
With new railroad connections,
improved dirt roads, and our COM
press at work, Arkansas City will be
on a solid boom She has now,
built and under construction, six
substantial brick stores with iron
front; the most complete bank
in the State; five iron clad
store houses; two well kept hotels.
i new livery stable; four churches;
two school houses; two newspaper
Offices; the finest lumber mill in
5he South and many other aaajjuncts
to thrifty, hustllng little city.
But what she most needs now be-
ore the boom is on in earnest,
S q court house and jail. Let the
appropriation be made at once, and
ihe work begin.

In Justice to Mr. Atkinson.

Two errors occurred in the pub
lished cali on Alderman Atkinson to
become candidate for May or, and
the same were not discovered until
the parties who did notsign the petit
ton made a protest. These parties
are Mr.. W. G. Street, and Mr.. Wolf
Nichols. Instead OF "W. G. Streetto
it should have been w. G. Steel, and
instead OF Mr.. "Wof Nichols it
should have been Mr.. ". T. Nichols.
The errors were made by the two
young men who copied the names
from the original petition, and are
largely due to che illegible writing.
The similarity OF the names will at
once be recognized.

to Mr.. Z. B. Atkinson.

sded tte p0llcy OF the present SGcre-
tary, Mr.. Gullum said, he would not
favor any appropriation, but the
ono understood to be the choice OF
air. NJ E.aley, for the Agricultural
Office was an actual farmer, who
would not indulge in agricultural
bulletins of finance
Mr.. Stewart asserted that the Sec
rotary Of Agriculture was "the most
picturesque specimen he had ever
known, and the Senator urged that
the Secretary should not be taken
too seriously.
Mr.. Tillman spoke for the retention
of the item, saying that the farmers
should not be preiudieed because the
department had q Secretary who
prostituted his position and aired
his peculiar notions at the expense
OF the farmers.
Mr.. Allison, in urging the need OF
these agricultural publications on
legitimate lines, paid high tribute
to his former associate in theSenate,
Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, who is under
stood to be the next Secretary Of
Agriculture
MIR Vest withdrew his opposition
On the understanding that there
would be no further financial or
pictorial" bulletins, and the item
was agreed to with an amendment
making it $4,000,
Mr.. Lodge opposed tire increase of
$4,000 for the purchase and distri-
button OF seeds recommended by the
committee, saying this plan had
degenerated into u mere wholesale
distribution Of the commonest kinds
of flower and garden seeds. 1t was
a great waste OF public money.
Mr. Call said the seed distribution
should be increased twofold instead
OF being reduced. The seed item
was agreed to at the advanced rate
of $4,000
An amendment by Mr.. Thurston
was agreed to appropriating $4,000
for continuingeXperimentsas to beet
sugar production.
The bin was then passed. Itcarries
Approximately $3, $50, 600.

A remarkable case of bone grating
is reported from Buffalo, n. Y, where
+. H. NOR, a foreman in the carbide
works at Niagara Falls, was treated
for a badly crushed shin bone. He
was taken to the hospital in Buffalo on
February H. DR.. De Witt G.. Wilcox
inserted in Moir's leg a fve-inch
length of live sleeps bone, replacing
the crushed human bone in length,
but not in width. The leg was placed
in plaster cast. The progress of the
grating was examined by the X rays
Monday night with the following re-
suit: "The sleeps bone shows vitality
at each end The human bone has
developed the sleeps bone, and the
new growth is extending toward the
centre. Already the sleeps bone is
half an inch wider than when it was
put in. Complete knitting and grow
ing together of the bones are assured. 3"

Ninety MlIes an Hour.

Itisasserted that dWingrecent trials

with light train, and that tits expected
to easily reach speed of seventy-fve

suits Of the recent experiments have
induced the Western Railway of France
to construct two large locomotives on
this system, The experimental en-
CINE, which was capable of drawing
seventy to eighty tons at fifty miles an
hour, established the contention that
the engine had great stability, less
vibration and swaying than the ordin-
airy steam locomotive, that the coal
consumption was about fourteen
pounds per mile when drawing load
of sixty-fye tons, and that other ad-
vantages in the better regulation of
speed were realized The locomotive
is sixty-one feet long and weighs 100
tons, which is greatly in excess of the
ordinary locomotive.
