A Dream.

A citizen related tte following to a TINES reporter this week: II retired at the usual hour. with health condi- tions good-l suppose my mind soon went into dreamland 1 thought had returned to Forrest City after two years absence. Oa looking around 1 was much gratItied to see d perfectly V new system or street and sewer work had been practiced during my absence. first noticed the parks, the old time knock down plank fence had given way to a neat irOn-wOven- one, the grass sod was level and uniform. the trees showed slgns of having been cared for; the old dead stubs that the cattle and horses had trimmed un unto death and these the hogs had rooted up, had been removed. with live ones i'll their place; the great holes and wal lows made by the hog, Tn other days, had been filled and leveled.
 Walking through the city I found the streets nicely rounded up with the road machine and the sides of same sodded in Bermuda grass, which served to stop all ugly washes which used 10 he so unsightly and cost the city so much to sewer or fill in. All the old box sewers had been done away with. allowing the water to flow naturally upon a grass surface. It was in May and l noticed we'll kept horses and cat tie grazing on the nutricious grass. also observed that the number of hogs grazing upon the sides of the streets were all adorned with rings in their noses, thus accounting for the picturesque appearance of the streets throughout the city. The side walks were all in good condition and were free from the earth that it used to de- light the hogs to pile upon the blanks. i"

 health. They usually go together.
 An observing man learns that a woman who is physically weak and nervous and in- capable, is likely to be ill-natured too. The sweetest temper is ruined by continual sickness.
 4 woman whose nerves are constantly rackcd and dragged by facilitating drains and inflammation, cannot be genial com- panion or happy wife and she is totally pnhtted to be a mother.
 These troubles prevail almost universally among women largely because of careless ness and neglect. There is no real need of them. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a positive specific for the weaknesses and diseases of the feminine organism.
 It cures them radically and completely It heals. strengthens and purifes. It is the only scientific remedy devised for this spe- cial purpose by an educated. skilled physi- clan. It is the only medicine that makes motherhood easy and absolutely safe.

Last month had no pain at all and worked every day without any inconvenience whatever. It was the first time never had pain during that period. cannot say too much for your medicines. especially the Favoritc Prescription and Pleasant Pei- lets I know of a lady who took bottle of your Favorite Prescription and she says she was not sick like she was with her first baby This was her second baby. She thinks it grand medicine So do l."

The Court House.

Tn the matter of the selection of , court house site TINES reporter has gleaned the following expression from citizens upon the subject: c. II. Uayens-Not in favor of in- creasing the debt of county; the pres ent site is paid for.
 E. Turley-With reasonable pur- chase of another lot would be satis- fled to remove the court house site on account of noise of railroad
 E. T. Gray-We have the present proposed location paid for and that's good enough.

 E. Bonner, sr.-The present lot is the most suitable.
 E. A. RoIfe-Am with the majority
 W. II. Buford-I think the present site the most suitable, as the county owns the location.
 Geo. F. Taylor-Would prefer the north side of railroad for court house if property is not too high, but the 10. cation with me is not as important as having a new court house; with me l that is the most important. Let's have the court house and good one, one that will reflect credit not only now but in years to come.
 J. NJ. NichOls-Want it on the pres ent site, unless property can be had at reasonable figures elsewhere. II. [. GormGn-0n south side by all means.
 D. M Wilson-South side beyond any question.
 A. Meyer, jr.-The south side and in front of jail is the place purchased for it by our County court and should be placed as near the jail as convenient. Sol Lewis. Geo. B. Pettus, John NJ.

 Chas. II. Sanders-Am in favor ot the present site.

TERROR RElGNS IN HAVANA
Insurgents Killed Forty Spaniards In
Their Attack on a Suburb.

Insurgents Killed Forty Spaniards In
Their Attack on a Suburb.
TAMPA, Fla. Aug 2.-The story tele.
graphed from Havana last week about
an attack by insurgents on the suburbs
of that city is confirmed by passengers
who left Havana on the Plant line
steamer Mascotte. Among the number
was Senior Calabjer, wealthy Span.
lard, and his wife and daughter, who
are now to be reckoned among the refu.
gees who have fled from Havana. The
attack referred to was made on the lit.
tie village of Marnanao, about 10 miles
southwest of the city, and Ethe terminus
of the Anticipated and dilapidated Mar
nanao railroad. The engagement was
short and desperate. Forty-nine Span.
iards were killed and 100 wounded; two
Cubans were killed and 40 wounded.
The inhabitants of the town fled for
their lives, leaving the insurgents in
complete possession. They sacked the
place and secured $4,000 in gold besides
large quantity of supplies that they
could not carry away. 1t is said that
widest terror reigns in Havana, and
the well-to-do inhabitants are leaving as
fast as local la WIS will permit.

MEETS GENERAL APPROVAL

English People Pleased by the Denuncia-
ton of Commercial Treaties.
LONDON, Aug. 2.-The denunciation
by Great Britain of the commercial
treaties with Belgium and Germany is
the chief theme of discussion in the
European newspapers.
The Daily Chronicle says: 1t is the
first triumph of free trade on a great
and imperial scale. 1t it curious
irony of fate that it should be the work
of ministry permeated by the fallacies
of protection.
Discussing the effect of Great Brit.
aims action upon the United States and
Germany, The Chronicle expresses the
opinion that the former will certainly
not be the gamer, while Canada cannot
lose by the new condition of affairs,
adding: Nor is it likely that Germany's
natural wrath will last long.
Other papers express similar opinions
All are agreed that a great step has
been taken, which will bring England
nothing but gain. 1t has been a long
time since an important act of the gov.
eminent has met with such universal
approval in Great Britain.
The chief Belgian organs receive the
announcement without protest.

Thousands Of Strikers Camped
in the Vicinity of the De
Armitt Mines.
Monster Meeting Planned In
Hope of Influencing Men
Still at Work.
Arrest of President Dolan on q
Charge of Riot Causes
Ugly Feeling.

P1TTSBURG, Aug. All roads led tc
Turtle Creek during the day. March
ing miners from all over the district
were verging toward Camp Determine
ton, and if all those reported as being
ON the march reach the scene before
morning there will be at least 5000 dig
gers present at the big meeting which is
scheduled for IL o'clock at McCrea's
schoolhouse. The miners expect 5000
to be Oh hand.
The borough Of Turtle Creek expert
enced the iveliest day in its history,
with it's large transient population Of
miners and curious visitors, but the day
passed without any trouble of any kind.
Burgess Teats of the borough visited
the miners camp, and said he had no
reason to order the crowd to disband.
Sheriff Will Not Interfere.
Sheriff Lowry spent the afternoon
In Turtle Creek consulting with his
deputies. He said that he would not
interfere with the strikers in holding
meetings if they acted orderly. He will
not allow them to go on the property
Coal company, nor will not allow them
to act disorderly while marching on the
road.
There was a complete shift in the
makeup of the campers during the day.
The men from the Wheeling division
of the Baltimore and Ohio, who have
been on guard ever since the big move
,cff hn 10
inaugurated, left during the night for
their home at Finleyville, Gastonville,
Snowden, Whitehall and Banksville.
These same men after reaching home
and recuperating somewhat, have
formed new divisions and are returning
to the seat of war in order to attend the
big meeting in the morning.
President Dolan Arrested.
At an early hour the strikers at Camp
Determination were aroused and 500
men ordered to march to Sandy Creek
and 500 to Plum Creek mines. The
marches began with President Dolan
heading the force, going to Sandy
Crek. After proceeding a short dis
lance Dolan was served with a writ
charging him with riot and unlawful
assembly at the instance of Thomas P.
de Armitt For a time great excite
ment prevailed among the marchers but
Dolan quieted them by saying that he
would be all right and soon join them.
He was then taken back to the justice
Office and the marchers proceeded.
Secretary Warner, Organizers Cameron,
Miller and other leaders are included in
the writ. The incident has caused a
very ugly feeling among the strikers
and if the other leaders included in the
order of arrest should be stopped in
work, decidedly vigorous action will
likely be taken at the big meeting.

Comment of the st. James Gazette on the
Boring Sea Conference.
LONDON, Aug. 2.-The St. James Ga
zette, referring to the forthcoming in
ternational conference on the sealing
question, says:
The Americans will consider the con.
ference another climb down for the
British, and, not unnaturally, Mr..
Sherman's dispatch will be regarded as
the direct cause.
The United States make quite I'M
warrantable demand. We ignore it.
Then the American state department
sends a menacing and insulting dis.
patch. We promptly yield. 1t is the
Venezuelan business and Cleveland's
message once again.
And once again it will confirm the
American political mind in the convic,
ton that John Bull always knuckles
down when bullied and threatened
Our statesmen are preparing future dis.
asters for both countries by carelessly
encouraging this dangerous delusion.
