The Returning Soldiers.
Arkanras Democrat.

Had the First Arkansas Regi- ment Of volunt teers been ordered to the front where there was fighting the State would have had no cause to regret it's interest in thelr vel fare. The regiment was, however. forced to remain in camp awaiting orders, and while its members were still hoping for an opportunity to distinguish themselves on the field of battle, the Spanish flag was hurl- ed from the battlements of San tiago, Cervera's fleet was destroyed and peace overtures were made on be- half of Spain. Tten came the con victlon that the opportunity had passed, and the regiment would never see active service. The dutles of camp life were performed with faithfulness nevertheless, and al- though our boys have no trophies of war to show their friends, they have proven themselves to be soldiers worthy to follow the flag of their country, and the whole State is proud of them. We welcome them as patriots and worthy of 8 great people. Soon they will be mustered out of service and givenS an honor. able discharge. In returning to their homes they will carry the good wishes of hundreds.ef thousands. In deallng with the stern realities of life which they must encounter let them manifest the same earnastness and zeal that has characterized their soldier life. They have learned self reliance, and have been taught the benefits of a strong discipline. These lessons should not be lost when they resume their places in their several communities. The mem -bers of the First Arkansas are en- titled to the best of everythn.P that can be had in the state, but they must carve out their own fortunes and take advantage of the oppor- tunities accorded them. They will be given joyous welcome wherever they go, and should always strlye to merit and hold the place in public esteem which is now freely accorded them.

The Pine Bluff Fair.

The enterprising citizens of our sister city of Pine Bluff have organ ized State Fair association, and the first exhibition will be held this fall, beginning Oct. IS and lasting until 18th, inclusive
 This exhibition will be of great in- terest to the thousands of visitors who will come to view the products of our State, there on exhibition, and it would be we'll if the people of Arkansas county could have a cred ible exhibit there. It would attract the attention of home and invest ment seekers to our county, and gay big in the long run.
 Let every farmer in the county prerare something for this fair. All exhibits for this purpose should be brought to this office and we will see that they are cared for and shipped to the Fair management at Pine Bluff in good shape.-Stuttgart Free Press.

A Rebuke by General Washington That
 Evidently Frightened the Owner.
 Major William Pierce left behind him a partial record of the debates in Philadelphia which supplement those of Madison, Yates and King; also the following anecdote:
 When the convention first opened at Philadelphia, there were . number of propositions brought forward as great leading principles for the new govern. ment to be established for the United States. A copy of these propositions was given to each nember, with an injunc ton to keep everything a profound se- aret One morning, by accident, one of the members dropped his copy of the propositions. which, being luckily pick cd mp by General Mifliin, was presented to General Washington our president. who put it in his pocket. After the de- bates of the day were over and the ques- tion for adjournment was called for the general arose from his seat and, previ- ous to his putting the question, address ed the convention i'll tho following man, ner:
 'Gentlemen, am sorry to lnQ bnas some one member of this body has been so neglectful of the secrets of tho con- yention as to drop ill the statehouse copy of their proceedings, which by ae- cident was picked up and delivered to me this morning. must entreat gen tlemen to be more careful, lest our transactions get into the henewspapers and disturb tho public repose by premature speculations. I know not whose paper it is, but there it is (throwing it down on the table). Let him who owns it take it." At the same time he bowed, picked up his hat and quilted the room with dignity so severe that every person seemed alarmed. For my part, was extremely so, for, putting my hand in my pocket. missed my copy of the same paper, but, advancing up to tho table, my fears soon dissipated. found it to ba tho handwriting of another per son. When I went to my lodgings at tho Indian Queen, found my copy in a coat pocket which had pulled off that morning. It is something remarkable that no person ever owned the paper. -- American Historical Review.

 Fur must still be chronicled, and ohron. ioled most consistently, for it is ubiquitous, decorating indoor and outdoor gowns and forming hats and wraps, long coats and capes.

Tho effect was more striking than pleasing.
 Chrysanthemums and violets are now the reigning flowers in Paris, violets for personal wear, chrysanthemums for dinner and reception decorations, mingled with carnations and white lilacs.
 There has lately been an exhibition of artificial flowers made by French artists for artists they may truly be called-whioh has aroused the interest of all Parisians

Major Mccoy defeated Bell for sheriff of Jefferson eouty, but quite a number of indedendent democrats in other counties were elected. This means a great deal more than the simple election of the man. It means that the best men in the democratic party are tired of the methods practiced Tn certain coun- ties, and if such practices are not stopped the democratic majorities will cease and that is all there is to it.-Rison Bazoo.

THE TROUBLESOME DUST.
Why the Scientist Appreciates It More
 Than the Housewife.

Why the Scientist Appreciates It Moro
 Than the Housewife.
 The bane of the ideal housekeeper's life is dust, and yet this seemingly in- significant, exasperating dust has been a study of scientists for a century. "When a beam of sunlight enters darl1ened room, it can be seen along it's whole course, says ono writer The light is reflected to every side and made to reach the eJ's by tho dust in the air of tho room. We do not see the sum- beam. but the dust which is illumined by it. As unimportant as this curious stuff seems. it plays conspicuous part in nature 1t is what makes the sky ap- pear blue, and when we look at the sky we sec tho dust illuminated by the sun. Light goes through all the gases-the dust catches it, reflects it i'll every di- reotion, and so causes the whole atmos- phere to appear clear, in tho same way that it makes the sunbeam visible in tho dark room.
 "Without this strange, wonderful dust there would be no blue sky. It would be as dark or darker than on moon less nights. The glowing disk of the sun would stand immediately against the black background, thus producing blind ing light where the sums rays fall and deep black shadows where they do not. 1t is to dust that we owe the moderately tempered daylight adapted to our eyes, and it is dust that contributes to the beauty of tho scenery. Tho finest dust gives tho blue tone to the sky, while the coarsor kind produces an almost black appearance.
 "The clouds consist of dust and va DOT. If there be only q little dust, all the vspor is preoipitated upon it, and so loads the clouds with water that they sink in heavy drops to the ground. Without dust the yapor would penetrate houses, making everything mold with damp. We should feel upon going out that our clothes wore becoming saturat- cd and umbrellas would be 0 useless protection 1t is hard, indeed, to con- ceiye how different everything would be if there were no dust. This trivial common stuff has its considerable part in the processes of nature, and there is much of the wonderful and mysterious concealed in it's filnNy particles. Doe troit Free Press.

The Jews In War.

In an interview with Rev. pr. Krauskop, on Cuban soil, Colonel Roosevelt informed him of the ex- ceptional valor Of his eight Rough Riders of the Jewish faith. He said: "One of them by the name of Samuel Greenewald, from Prescott, Ariz., entered as a private on April 30, and IS now second lieutenant, promoted for fighting by the side of Roosevelt for two days and nights under constant fire; amidst the most daring herolsm. Colonel Roosevelt says that the nation had as much right to be proud of them as he is. Another, by name of Samuel Goldberg, from Albuquer- que, N. M., twenty-two years of age. was wounded in the hip and for two days and nights continued fghting at Roosevelt's side, under murderous fire, with bullet in his wound, which was not extracted till the fight was over, He showed me the mashed bullet.
