posed, and invitations were sent by
means of runners to all parts OF the In
dian domain.
There were Indians who had burned.
slain and tortured just out Of natural
depravity dancing about on the same
floor with capitalists from Chicago and
San Francisco. soldiers, ladies. frontier
men. miners and couple of globe trot-
ters. Everyone had to dance. The eti-
quette was explained to all, and it was
made evident that if they chose to be
present and take part they must OBJ
serve all the demands of the occasion,
for q refusal might imperil the lives of
all. The dance was accordingly very
democratic. Whoever the Indians asked
to dance with them responded with .
similar assent.
On the following day solemn confer
ence was held at which the valuable
right of way was obtained from the In
dams on favorable terms.

with q strong wind, 3.76o yards have
been observed. The bullets find their
way through joints Of walls. unless the
walls are made very fnc and set In

DEH0RNED cows.

who Wanted Her Cow 20 %
De-TAiled Also.

Dehorning cows has been all the FASH
ion lately, says an exchange. It's aston
ishing how many claim that their COW
had the hollow horn. simply as salve
for what appears to be hard-hearted
practice. In most instances the deed
was done before the parties had even
learned that their cattle even had the
hollow horn. Hence. this not being the
motive for the deed. they should not
mix it into salve 70 sootne 'neaF

her xfth horns and he knew better than

SPANISH PROVERBS ON WOMEN
80Y1A90 That illustrate the Estin0-
t1oA IN Which The Fair
Sex Are Held.

Spaniards have q weakness for prov
erbs. The common everyday converse
ton Of the people contains scores OF
pithy sayings more or less wise that
express briefly the ideas of the Cas-
tilians on various subjects. Among
these are some about women that do
not show a very high estimation of tho
sex, and most of which would not apply
to the American woman, whether or not
they may be true of the land Of the
castanets. Some of the best known
are:
Choose neither q wife nor liEea by
candle light.
Women and weather are not to be
trusted.
No season il ~ brief 40 a woman's
love.
A woman may be loyal in love, but
never to lovers.
Woman il q curious creature WITH
long hair and short ideas.
A girls hair draws more than q ships
cable.
Woman is a guitar the sweetness o.
whose tone depends upon the player.
He who has handsome wife or d
castle on the frontier is never withou
fear.

AafERIcA's NEW WAR PHRASE.

Not one Of all the tribe Of railway
porters who ever shouted Twenty
minutes for breakfast" into the rear
door of = Pullman sleeping car ever
expected that his cry should be repeat
ed on the deck Of q wArship in action.
But, says the Colorado Springs Gazette,
that is what seems to have actually hap
pened in the record breaking battle of
Manila. At the time when the fight
was the hottest, when the Spanish ships
were yet undestroyed and the batteries
on shore were still alive. the American
ships ceased firing and withdrew. The
first reports had it that it was Tor the
purpose OF repairing the ships. to hold
a council of war and to land the wound
ed from the American ships. The lat
ter report states the truth with Anglo
Saxon franleness-it was to give the
men . chance to get something to eat.
So new war cry has been added to
American history. and alongside Of
Lawrence's Don't give up the ship!"

and they are ours!" will live Dewey's

bat whose issue was still undecided,
could remember that fighting is hungry
work and that men are strongest and
most intelligent when well fed. His
tory records the deeds Of heroes who,
ten fatigue and wounds and hunger
and oil other considerations. But his
tory has no record Of such q battle an
that OF Manila, and no record Of q COM

Another sister worried over the de-

FIRE FIGHTING.
How Il Was Done In the South ~
the Days Before the
| Civil War. h

OI0 citizens are commenting on t0e
change the Savannah Are department
has undergone since the ante-bellum
days. The recent fires have given rise
to many reconections of former meth
DDS OF checking flames, says the Sa-
vannah News.
The eyes of one man, who was posted
in glass house in the City Exchange
dome, constituted the alarm system.
He was a sort OF sentinel, and while
keeping watch over the city cried out
the hours and whether things were
wen or no. There are few members
of the police force to-day who served in
the old glass house and recall the days
when fire alarms were sounded by ring
ing the old bell.
Hand pumps formed the apparatus
to drive water, and the effective work
they did is well remembered. All fire.
men before the war were volunteers,
and, with the exception Of the chiefs OF
divisions. were composed entirely OF
colored men. They were strong, hardy.
and to get to fire was a sort of pastime
which was thoroughly enjoyed by them.
While working the pumps they would
strike up q tune, keeping time with
the movements OF the pump handle and
ringing out their song in such harmony
and fu.lness as to catch even the ear
of the critic. Then, too. there was fun
for. the negroes getting to their re-
spective station houses. 1t was stand
ing rule that the first man TO place his
hand on the lock at the station received
a dollar, and all were wild to earn 1t.
It was as much an honor as gain-a
sort Of trophy held until the next fre.
The station houses were built OF brick
and located in the squares in different
parts of the city.

A DIsAdREEABLE SUBJECT.

The efforts of our Mayor and other officials to preserve the clenliness and healthfulne ss of our little city should be most heartily seconded by every citizen who has any pride in the welfare of the town.
 The most serious problem that ,onfronts us is how best to man. age the closets and abolish the stench and unhealthful conditions arising therefrom. We are aware that this is not pleasant subject to consider, but it, is with us and can not be avoided. The vault system is universally condemned in all places where people use wells from which to procure drinking water, and will certainly not do here. Zinc lined boxes as required by our city ordinances will not by their use alone, help to abate the nuisance, but instead,

will tend to make 1t all the more apparant and disagreeable.
 1t is evident from observation and experience that the best method yet tried IS to use an abun dance of some cheap deodorizer, such as dry earth or dust gathered from the roadway or streets. By using this freely and regularly all odors will be suppressed and wet substances absorbed, reducing to the minimum the disagreeable features and dangers arising from closets. This method has the ad- vantage of being inexpensive and it's enforcement by law cannot work hardship upon any one. To be effective however it must be enforced and all the people re- quired to adopt it.

Commercial Agreement signed.

PARIS May 31.-At the meeting of the cabinet to-day M. Hanatoux the minister for foreign affairs, announced the signing of the commercial agree ment with the United States. In so doing he pointed out that the arrange ment was indicative of the friendly sentiment which the two governments showed in their reciprocal desire to improve the commercial relations be- tween the two countries.
The Mena star., 1898-06-01

Secretary of War Alger acted wisely in abolishing the "sutler system, recently when arranging for the active service of our sol diers in the war now in progress. In doing this he is mindful for the soldiers welfare in more ways than one. The average regimen tai or post sutler is simply a licensed monopolistic robber who coins money by demanding with out opposition such prices as he may choose for what he has to sell. In lieu of this system Gen. Algcr provides that all delicacles or articles usually needed by sol diers, not supplied through the commissary department, shall be furnished by the government at cost. This policy borders very strongly on socialism and abolish es one ''line of business" but it is right and the soldier will profit thereby.

One of the strongest arguments in favor of the county seat remov- al proposition, is that aside from the fact that the county will get a new court house and block of land without dollar of tax, the people can ever afterwards trans act their court business, buy and sell their commodities and pro- duce all at the same place or in the same town. This centraliza- tion of business interests will make better market for all that the farmer raises and enable him to procure better prices. Every farmer will go to the polls on June 25, and vote "AYE."
