The Good Work Begun.

Amid the booming of cannon and strains of music, with banners and flags tlaring above them, an immense crowd gathered to witness the break Ing of the earth for the new court house. That is the way it should have been, but it wasn't The booming of cannon, flying flags and immense crowd were conspicuous by their ab- sence. yet tue little crowd who gath cred on the hill site Monday to wit ness the breaking of the earth, were none the less enthusiastic on account or the absence, etc.
 Architect Thompson. of Little Rock. came in Sunday evening to aid Con- tractor Clark in the preliminary work in starting the court house, and Mon- day Surveyor Davis started the ball by surveying the lines. By , o'clock in the afternoon, the location was settled. stakes driven and the lines drawn, and allawas ready for the turning of the earth.
 In recognition of the service rendered by THE TIMES in keeping in agitation the crying need of new court house Tor 10 these past ten years, Judge Cowan complimented the senior editor by asking that he turn the first sod.

Report of Commissioner of Account

In St. Francis Circuit Court, Septem. Der term, 1897:
 HON. II. N. HUTTON, Judge:
 The undersigned, Commissioners of Accounts, beg leave to present the fol- lowing as their report to the present term:
 We have made examination of the accounts of all officers required to make settlement with the county and find that such settlements have been promptly made and that proper vouch- CTS and receipts are on file. There, however, appears to be d balance of Sl0o0 against \. A. Hodges, late con. stable of Madison Township. and $37. % against $. B. Swan, constable of John son Township. The latter item seems to be for an uucollected fine against one Will Green for which said consta- ble would be entitled to credit upon the proper showing to the County Court.
 The County Judge seems to be mak- ing his allowances against the County with view of economy.
 We find few informal accounts all lowed. and few i'll which part of the affidavit is expunged. We also find few in which the affidavit is en. tirely omitted.
 We find in claim No. l26 that the sheriff has manifestly charged mileage for serving subp@nas upon witnesses who reside in CritLenden County.
 It appears that the free ferry al Madison was becoming an expensive appurtenance ill the county's affairs | and We commend the judges action ir letting it out to be run for toll.
 We desire to return thanks to Clerk Mallory and his deputy for courtesie: shown us during our sitting.
 All of which IS respectfully sub mitted. T. 0. FITZPATRICK, Chairman.

Make the Most of Yourself.

It Is the duty of every man to make the most Of himself. Whatever his capacities may be, he is sure to find some place where he can be useful 10 himself and to others. But he cannot reach his highest usefulness without good health aud he cannot have good health without pure blood. The blood circulates to every or- gan and tissue and when it is pure, rich and healthy it carries health to the entire system, but if II is impure it Scatiers dis ease wherever it flows.

The Gold Craze.

Adventures from all parts of the coun-
try have been en'hused by fabulous stories
which have been published the past week
regarding immense quantities Of gold hav-
ing been found and fortunes made in the
valley of the Klondike, tributary of the
Yukon, in the British dominion lust over
the Alaskan line, and thousands have
started for there without thinking of the
immense distances to be traversed. The
Yukon river is the second in size in North
America and drains territory as great as
all the United States east of the Mississippi
river. The only way of getting to the gold
fields is by steamer from Seattle via Ma
laska to the mouth of the Yukon, Jour
ney in itself of 1000 miles, Then by small
flat boats over 1900 miles up the river
About half the length OF the lower Yukon
is in Alaska and the gold fields are in the
British possessions over 2OOO miles from its
mouth.
Those leaving Seattle this month cannot
reach far up the Yukon before the Alaskan
winter sets in, the river being frozen solid
from about September 25 to May, and the
present outlook is that thousands will
perish. 'Tis true the stories, if hum
dredth part true, are very enticing, but the
poor victims of the craze, which is now at
its height, do not appreciate what they
have to contend with

July Freshets.

History repeats itself in regard to storms
and convulsions of nature as well as in
human events. The disastrous freshets
last week in Vermont-though it is said
that in some places the water of the
streams was higher than ever was known
before-were by no means unprecedented
as regards quantities of water or amount of
destruction. Perhaps the most destructive
freshet on record in this state was that of
July, 1880. The season, that year, re-
sembled closely the sra. on of the pr, sent
year. Up to the 10th Of July the weather
was unusually cold and wet, then came the
greatest downfall of water from the mer-
curry ranging from 80 to 81 in the shade
every day Tor seven days. Then after
four days OF clear and calm weather came
the greatest downfall OF water from the
clouds ever recorded in this part OF Yer
mont. At Burlington 50 inches tell in
10 hours, and seven inches in three days.
The Winooski river rose twenty feet in
some places. The New Haven river, in

drowned. In the northern and central
parts of Vermont the destruction OF
bridges, mills, and other buildings was be-
yond computation.
Twenty years later, on the 18th OF July
1850, following very hot spell, there was
tremendous rainfall. At Burlington
1928 inches OF water fell. At Montpelier
