SOUNDS A WARNING

LONDON, Oct. co.-sir Michael Hicks
Beach, chancellor of the exchequer.
speaking at North Shields, said the
Tashoda affair was "a matter which
might develop to the utmost gravity"
st is impossible" he continued, ''for
France to maintain that she has political
rights at Fashoda. She has naturally
and properly asked for time to receive
M;jor Marchand's report, but until the
contrary is proved decline to believe
/. that France will refuse to withdraw. If
she refuses, the matter would assume an
aspect as grave as is possible between
two great nations. The government is
animated by the friendliest spirit to-
wards France and does not wish
To Inflict Humiliation.
What we desire IS fair treatment. Our
work in Egypt is not completed. Africa
is big enough for US both, for France in
the West and ourselves in the East.
Surely we ought to be able to respect
and acknowledge each others claims.
II hope, trust and pray that the mat
ter is capable of solution, but this coun-
try has set her foot down. If, unhappily,
another view should be taken by France,
the queens ministers know what their
duty demands. 1t would be very
great calamity, if after peace for
upward of 80 years our friendly rela-
tions should be disturbed and we should
be launched into great war, but there
are greater evils than war, and we shall
not shrink from anything that comes,
knowing that we are supported by a
united people,"

PARIS, Oct. l9.-La Liberte, discussl
ing the peace negotiations, points to
Spain as pleading for arbitration where
the commissions do not agree, and says:
THE Washington cabinet will not lis
ten to anything. We have already
pointed out the abnormal conditions at
tending the appointment of the Amer
ican delegates and their imperious in
structions. Mr.. Day and his colleagues
are not properly negotiators, but only
mandatoiies, whose work is to carry out
precise orders. They have no right to
discuss or to make concessions, but
simply may announce to the Spanish
government the
Exactions OF the United States.
The American commissioners have for
NAL orders not to lend themselves to
any notifications of the conditions of
peace and to repel all arbitration, giving
notice finally, if the Spanish do not
agree to their terms, of naval demon
stration in Spanish waters.
Madrid now knows that the effort to
induce the United States to assume any
part of the Cuban debt or to renounce
the Philippines, wholly or in part, was
doomed in advance to fail. Spain has
nothing to do but to give way nobly to
the hard laws of war, as fresh humilia-
tion would be certain to follow Senior
Sagasta's non-success against the grasp
ing disposition of the United States.'

HAVANA, Oct. IA conference last
ing three hours was held during the
evening between General Wade, Cen

the contents of the five official notes de-

by the Spanish evacuation commission.
The Spaniards claim it would be prac-

within the short period proposed by the
Americans. They disclaim all authority
to treat of any political subjects outside
the strict limits of evacuation. They
insist that the sovereignty of Spain will
continue until the final treaty of peace
is signed in Paris. In reply Admiral
Sampson personally dictated a brief note
stating emphatically that Dec. would

Townsite Agent Landes Wins First
 Premium On Sale of Lots.

Several months ago the land depart ment of the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf railroad notified it's agents at the various towns along the line, that three substantial premiums-a first, second and third--would be given those agents who sold the largest number of lots prior to January 1, 1898.
 For long time the contest waxed warm but Agent Joe P Landes:clearly had the advantage and led all the others, selling over $1O, 900 worth more than any other agent. The agent at De Queen standing second, and Lees vile third.
 Mir. Landes received as his premium a crisp $l00 check and since it's receipt when walking over the streets his feet have only touched the high places and at times he has appeared to be merely stepping from one mountain peak to another.
 The agent at De Queen got $50. and at Leesville $25.
 This shows that Mena is the best town, and is growing faster than any other that the company is interested in along the line.

OUR CITY PARKS.
pIaces of Amusement for All the
 People.

ch.. People.
 Among the wise provisions made
 by Inc founders of this place was
 the laying out and donating for
 the use of its people, two city they parks.
 The first, Jansen, comprises u.. fen acres of land and is located Q < near the business portion of town tIy only about three blocks from. the rec station. It has a substantial fence 'eaI around it, and d division fence
 encloses tract of three or four
 acres upon one side in which a
 small herd of tame deer Is kept
 for the enjoyment of children,
 both young and old.
 ,r In this park is large spring of ! Excellent, pure, soft water and J below this has been formed a little
 lake, spanned at a narrow point
 with rustic bridge. Here is also a large log house built about fifty years ago and occupied. by rthe ,+ owner of the farm upon which q Mena was located, until purchased
 for townsite purposes. During an the year just passed this house ies was given some needed crepairs ! and it is expected that it will be
 maintained as relic of the past :, end for the cdifcation of those ,e coming here who, perchance, nev- 2. or saw this kind of habitation. E. The StilwelI Park is located r across the railroad track to the q, south of town upon high point of land, giving an excellent view of the town and country surround !. ing.
 Y This park is we'll timbered and !, remains very largely in state of $ nature except that the underbrush ar has been cleared and board
 walk built to it from the principal streets near. When properlysim-
 proved, as it will be, this will ,t become very popular resort for Of those who wish to get the fresh
 air and view the surrounding
 scenery of valleys near and noun tain ranges in the distance.
 To secure the improvement and ' ' care of these parks, also of our
 streets, a provision is incorpora-
 ted in the original deeds to all < real estate in the original plat of Mena providing for tax of 29 per cent on the purchase price of
 all sales for the use of our parks,
 Streets and schools. This provis-
 ion, originated with President A.
 E Stilwell, and the tax thus pro- yided goes, 1 per cent into the
 school fund, and one and one half
 to the park and street fund of the
 city for all time, becoming lien
 on the real estate sold until paid.
 In few years Mena will be
 proud of her parks and the people
 will have occasion to praise those
 who donated them and so wisely
 provided for their maintenance.

ADMIRAL DEWEY SUNS UP.

Nearly two weeks after the battle Of
Manila Admiral Dewey in an Interview
with ex-Minlster Barrett Of Slam, gave
his own conclusions concerning the prac-
tical lessons taught by the victory. They
have additional weight because Of the
fact that they were not hastily formed
during the excltment Of actual conflict,
but evidently were the result Of careful
thought and deliberation.
The first lesson Of the battle, according
to Admiral Dewey, teaches the impor-
atnce OF accurate craftsmanship and
good guns. He says: "Combats are de-
oIded more by skill in gunnery and the
quality of the guns than by all else. Tor
pedoes and other appliances are good in
their way, but are entirely Of secondary
Importance. The spaniards were equal
10 us IN gun power, but they were unable
to harm us because Of bad gunnery."
The second lesson taught by the Ma
nlla engagement, he thinks, is the value
of high-grade men behind the guns
"Cheap men," he adds, "are not wanted
