Off to the War

The First Regiment of Arkansas
volunteers left Little Lock vester-
day, for Chattanooga, and will ar
rive there tonight, where they will
be equipped and then sent to the
front to form part of the invading
army in Cuba. The Arkansas Ga
zette says the entire city turned
out to give them three cheers when
they pulled out of the city, in the
three sections of eleven coaches to
the sections. The ladies had pre-
prepared lunches for the boys and
gave each one a pocket testament
and their blessings before they de-
parted

Handsomely Done.

We must compliment the school
board of the West Side for retain
ing almost all the old teachers, and
we express sorrow at the one or
two changes they made in teachers,
but do not censure the board for
this, as they are in a position and
have studied the situation and act
ed as they perhaps thought best. 1t
does not do a school any good to be
changing teachers year in and year
out, for teachers are like individu-
ais, they have their ways and whims
about them, and it takes a child
some time to learn the ways of their
instructors and when once they
learn to respect and love their
teachers they learn faster and do
better at school in every way.
Professor Owens, the superin-
tendent, has been with the school
for the past two sessions and he is
one of the finest educators in the
South without perhaps an excep.
ton, aud his administration of
school affairs here will be satisfac-
tory to all, AS to the corps of lady
teachers under him, they are all
competent, well known here, re-
spected and loved by the children,
and will do their part in making the
coming session a successful one,

The Latest Crane Vine.

Prof. Lincolnpoop of the aerial
service went up in an airship, and
took a peep at Santiago harbor
Yesterday and reports the Spanish
fleet there. He says he saw the
workmen putting wheels on the
ships and he believed that the
Spaniards we're going to make an
excursion in the country. This
would make good Sunday reading
for our boiler iron papers to get
out under the head of extra, and
would be Just as reliable as that
published purporting to come by
wire.

The Wild West show at the park
is not drawing the crowds that an
entertainment of that kind gener-
aly does. We have not been out to
see any of the performances and
therefore cannot comment. We
learn the "Wild West" consists of
two clever horseback riders, wo-
man, a couple of bucking bronc hos
and a Winchester rife. The men
are capital lariat tossers and can
hit a marble in the air with0a Win
Winchester ball.

Calls For More Men.

William Mckinley is ont in a
proclamation calling for 10000 more
men to be taken from the different
states in proportion to populatian.
Arkansas quota will be 1900 and
before you can say scat the boys
will be in camp drilling. Our city
is offered an excellent chance to
send a company. Captain j, M.
Carter is now raising, and If you
contemplate going you could not GO
with a better man or one who will
look after your welfare and see
that you get all that is coming to
you than Captain Carter. 1t mat
ters not whether you live on the
East or West Side, you can enroll
in the Arkansas company and with
all the fun that has been thrown at
Arkansas in the past, she has furn-
ished some of the bravest and best
soldiers of any of the states in the
south and will be felt in this war
when our regiments are thrown
into an engagement with the
Spaniards.

We think yet the hremen should
be paid, whether by the city or
private contributions, we care not.
II our merchants can have their
"legs pulled" for base ball, and all
other useless amusements period
ically, they should stand a pull for
small monthly amount to pay
three or four men to fight fire. A
paid department is what we need,
and we shall insist that some ar
raugement be made to keep a cou-
pie of men on duty at the hose
houses.

Santiago harbor, where the Ger
vera feet is supposed to be an
chored, is an ideal place to have
the Spanish fleet. They are there
now and any two war ships can
stand off few hundred yards at
the entrance OF the harbor, to the
right and left and sink every ship
in the feet if they attempt to
leave, as there is high rocks on
either side of the channel, and it is
impossible for the Spanish fleet to
see one of our vessels until they
come out in the open sea, and by
the time they do show their ships
torpedo tube can be shot into the
ship and move away for the battle-
ship to give it broadsider. There
is not place in Christiandom that
the Spanish feet could have an
chored that would have placed
them to worst advantage than
where it is now
The Daily Texarkanian., 1898-05-26

A drunken negro went into a
Broad street store this morning and
used language unbecoming a mig
ger to a white man and he was told
to get out, but refused and offered
resistance. The merchant cnt the
cable between himself and his dig
nifty and went for the negro in
great shape, pushing him out on
the side walk, exploding a number
seven contact bomb under the rear
sails Of the coon. The negro pulled
out for some friendly harbor.

called to order last night by Presi-
dent W. C. Hardin. Those members
present were Messrs. Mathews,
Reese, Cook, Hitler, Mcmahon and
Terry.
There was a stack of letters on
the secretary's desk alarming to
behold, consisting of about 200 ap-
plicatious. Accompanying many of
them were the photographs and a
biographical sketch of the appli-
cant and sheets of names recon-
mending them as fine educators, in
dustrious, religiouslY inclined. sober
and straight The applications
were a waste of paper and postage
stamps, tor the school board had
made up It's mind to whom these
places would be given and their
words we're out to those who had
made personal applications, and
therefore the many good, kind
teachers, backed up by good en-
dorsements, had no more chance to
get in than does Cervera's ships
stand of getting out of Santiago
harbor.
