summer; the pure waters are a never failing attraction, and as a matter of economy the people of Arkansas should contribute to the support of home in stitutiops rather than outside ones, especially when the same object can be obtained. The journey from southern Arkansas to Eureka Springs is enjoya- ble to home citizens as we'll as tourists
 All the way from Van Buren to the Missouri line the scenery is interesting, but after crossing a point near the boundary line of Crawford county, where the tourist emerges from the Boston and the Mulberry ranges into the valley lying between the Ozark and Boston ranges, the situation is charm ing. Indeed, all northwestern Arkan- sas is picturesque-not what one expects in the parks of the Rock Mountains, or in the Alpine valleys of Switzerland, but nevertheless picturesque.
 All the country lying in the divide between the Arkansas and the White rivers, though in valley, is in fact a plateau of rolling land, hilly in some parts and mountainous in others, with intervals of broad stretches of appar- ently level surface. The tourist who alights from the cars at almost any station between Fayetteville and Rog- CTS, and makes a nasty survey of the outlying country, decides he is on low, undulating land, but when he descends to the level of surrounding valleys he discovers that he is 100 to 200 feet below the level of the railroad bed.
 The soil of this region is fertile, pro- ducing fine crops of grain, grass and vegetables, but fruit is the leading feature. Both climate and soil are con genial to fruit development. Some of the largest orchards in America are found in this section, while large beds of strawberries and small fruits are cultivated, with continuous increase of acreage year after year.
 Eureka Springs, the health resort of northwestern Arkansas, known as the City of Cliffs and Clutches" is situated in the northwestern part of Carroll county, at the terminus of the Eureka Springs railroad, a branch line extend ing from Seligman on the Frisco. 1t is twenty-three miles from Seligman to Eureka Springs, and nineteen miles of the route is in a narrow gulch and deep cuts through foothills. 1t has been said that the visitor who makes his first trip over this line gets an impression at the early stages of the journey that the Ozark Mountains are not entirely make believe as he catches views of surround ing elevations while the train speeds down the mountain bound ravine.
 No person who has descriptive powers attempts to describe Eureka Springs expecting to give pen picture present. ing comprehensive view. The writer of poetic thought may attempt to de- scribe in metrical composition the an gularities and irregularities of the place and succeed in producing confusing

May Be n Chance Yet.

Says the Little Rock Democrat: "The determination of the war department not topermit the organization of third Arkansas regiment under the second call for troops causes no little disappoint- ment in this state. The First and Second regiment are to be recruited up to the maximum of 1900 men, and this will require eco additional recruits. We have no doubt that this number can be eaisly secured. If there shall be a third call, which is not at all unlikely, there will no doubt be a third Arkansas regiment. and perhaps a fourth. The young men who have raised companies expecting to tender their services to the government should not despair. The opportunity will perhaps come later on. If the war continues several months there will be third call, and if 1t should end in few months so much the better"

places of business, there is novelty. One feature of the streets is notable-the surface is natural macadam, and drainage facilities are such that the city has an immunity from both mud and dust. Road grading was one of the earliest and most absorbing industries of the place, so that now roads traverse all sections-roads of the most ap- proved order.
 The water of Eureka Springs is the main attraction. The beauty of sur roundings and the climate are incl dents. It is an esta blished fact that the waters have medicinal or curative properties, but it is generally conceded that their virtues consist in their purity. The water is cool and palatable, having no odor, no taste. Some writer has said regarding the curative property of the water, that If mysterious com bination is the secret, it has defied in- vestigation; no physician and no patient knows exactly why these waters cure. But it is enough to know they do cure, and that the climate is delightful in summer and hoalthful at all seasons.

BEAUTIFUL HEALTH RESORT
Eureka Springs, the Wonderful Ciey of Cliffs and Clutches, in the
 Ozark Mountains.
PURE WATER AND MAGNIFICENT SCENERY.
H'ountain Air and Health-Giying Waters sought in Summer By Thousands of People From All Sections-Advantages Offered to Citizens of Arkansas Who Summer Away From Home.

Thousands of citizens of Arkansas go north every summer to escape the heated term. The exodus begins inn mediately after the Fourth of July.
 These outings have their compensating features, both in improving mind and body. but it. is a debatable question whether it pays to go so far from home in quest of health and pleasure when
 within the limits of the state is found health and pleasure resort which possesses all the advantages and allure ments of those outside. The famous Eureka Springs have a world wide repu- tation; their fame extends northward and eastward, even across the Atlantic.
 Citizens of Arkansas who go to north ern lakes and to the Rocky Mountains to find cool air and pure water are aware of the existence of Eureka Springs, but they do not know its ad- vantages and attractions, owing to the fact, perhaps, that it is natural to look far away for haven of health and pleasure, the same as for all things else of great value. The high altitude of Eureka Springs assures cool air in mid

illustration, but there his efforts will end. The happy kind of carelessness displayed in giving the site of Eureka Springs it's finishing touches is one of the chief charms of the city. Not even the camera can do justice to the scene. The only way to obtain ocular evidence of how natures architect succeeded in producing interesting confusion and striking effects is to get upon the ground and view the place from differ ent points of observation. A feature of the place is obseryable-that is, one attempt to view the euliarities of its formation incites desire for further investigation. One almost gets the inn pression that the architect who fur nished plans neglected his duty, or that perhaps the finishing work was done by working force on the point O. striking for higher pay.
 The mountain summit at the west side of town is 100 feet above the valley. How person makes the ascent is to him mystery, whether he goes up in a hack or by street car. In the ascent one winds around the mountain side this way and that until the points of compass all gravitate into circle, and when the summit is reached it becomes necessary to undergo process of un- winding in order to restore his bearings. The upward course IS in part through ravines, around giddy declivities, up ward and around, with pine-clad peaks upon opposite sides. Looking eastward from the mountain top. the scenery is grand. Mountain slopes and ravines at the east and south present a scene of wondrous beauty, while the air, fragrant with pine, is of that peculiar quality which braces the system and causes the visitor to feel that he has found place where he can bid defiance to heat and all the discomforts of sum. mer.

Booker on Education of the Negro.

In an address to the graduates of the Little Rock colored high school, Prof. J. A. Booker, one of the brainest colored men in the United States, among other things said
 The great problem of sociology and political economy today is the problem of self-support; and 1t passes on from the birth and framing of the individual to the formation and operation of all our enterprises and institutions, whether social. civil or religious. And. be it ever known to you. that neither an individual nor an insti- tuition has reached even the first stage of suc- cess among men or things until he or it begins to solve the problem of self-support. Educa- ton will make of you better farmers, better mechanics, better servants and finally bring you to a full realization Of your duties as citi- zens of a glorious government. Ignorance is the daintiest dish of despotism. The despot lives. grows and fourishes so long as his sub- lects remain in ignorance and degredation. But intelligence is the strong arm of government Education assists us to an intelligent use of the ballot to an obedience to law. to a oultiya- tion of loyalty and patriotism and higher aspirations. Go ye, therefore and make Amer ican citizens of all nations whoever they be that seek membership in our body polite See that the name of your state and the honor of your nation are kept closest to your bosom"

Ben Hayden, Colored, For Assault on Twelve-Year- Old Child,
 Pays the Penalty.
DECISION OF INTEREST ToTAy COLLECTORS
A Chance For Over Six Hundred Patriots to Enlist in the First and Second Regi- ments As Privates-State News Notes Cleaned From Our Exchanges.

On the third inst at Texarbana, end within few feet of the spot where Ed Coy, a rape fiend, was burned several years ago, a crowd of citizens in broad daylight swung Ben Hayden, colored, to the limb of tree and literally rid died his body. The crime for which Hayden forfeited his life was criminal assault upon Jessie Scott, the 12-year- old daughter of J. V. Scott. ex-circuit clerk of Miller county, now deceased. Hayden concealed himself in the barn at the Scott residence. and when the girl went into the garden to gather some vegetables her attention was at- tracted by noise. She went to the barn to investigate, and was overpow- cred by the fiend. About the same time the crime was committed bicycle was stolen from house near the Scott residence. Officers started on a search, and Hayden was captured between Texarkana and Buchanan, riding the stolen wheel. Iic vas kept in jail over night, and next day brought before Miss Scott, who immediately identified him as her assailant. The bicycle in his possession was also identified us the one stolen. After thoroughly satisfy ing themselves as to Hayden's guilt, a crowd of determined citizens assembled in front of the jail, where numerous speeches were made. One speaker said: Fellow citizens, within the walls of that jail is the brute that assaulted the 12-year-old child of one of our departed citizens, who was honored by every body. In justice to his withered re- mains as they lie beneath the sod, l ask, What shall we do?"
 Hang him! Hang him!' came from hundreds of throats, and the will of the crowd was immediately carried out with coolness and deliberation.

Collectors Held Responsible.


 In order to determine the responsi- bility of sheriffs for blank poll tax re- ceipts, when lost or misplaced, Auditor Sloan propounded the following query to Attorney General Trustworthy:
 'Sec;son of an act of the general assembly. approved March 1. 1895 recites: If collector shall fall to nle said unused blank receipts the auditor shall charge him on his general rev. enue account with sum equal to one dollar for each Of said blanks not returned. etc. Kindly give your opinion In writing as to whether under the statutes above cited an afi- davit Of loss of blanks or any other paper filed by sherin, would justify my crediting collectors account for any blanks lost or mislaid? Your early reply will oblige me-"
 Receipts are issued by the auditor in books of 100 each. and the same are charged to the collectors. and the loss of an unused book means the loss of s'oo to the collector. The attorney generals reply follows:
 Tn answer to your question contained in the above communication. I have this to say: Sec- tion of the act Of 1895, provides that the audi tor shall furnish to each collector in the state as many blank poll-tax receipts as will be necessary to supply each taxpayer in said county. It Is made the duty of the collector at the time he makes his final settlement to the state treasurer to return to the auditor all of said blank receipis that are unused. Said sec- tion further provides that If the collector shall fail to file said unused blank receipts the au- ditor shall charge him on his account, for the benefit of the general fund. with sum equal to one dollar for each of said blanks not re- turned. am of the opinion that you, as au- ditor. hove no discretion to determine whether or not said blank tax receipts have been lost or destroyed. This law is mandatory and 1t is your duty to follow it to the letter."

but it is not visible to one who sits in the veranda of the hotel. The city is lined along the narrow ravines below. Few houses are ranged in what can be properly termed streets. Many buildings appear to be welded to the mountain side, one above another, while hotels even are stuck like birds nests against the rocky fronts. In places the ravines and gulches are so narrow that streets are formed over brooklets which course down the mountain to the levels below. All visitors wonder how citi- zens manage to come and go, especially at late hours of night.
 Yet with all its narrow and angular streets, many handsome dwellings with walled fronts are planted aiong the mountain side, and In the confused ar engagement of habitations, hotels and

Escaped From Prison.

Tom Johns, one of the most desper- ate counterfeiters the Federal authori- ties in Arkansas ever had to deal with, was one of fifteen convicts who escaped last week from the United States peni- tentiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kas. Johns resided in Jackson county, and at the April term, 1897, of Federal court in Little Rock he was convicted of counterfeiting and sentenced to five years imprisonment. He is a tough citizen.

Murder and suicide.

J. w. Fitting, a Hot Springs business man, cut his wife's throat with a razor and then took his own life. The tragedy was discovered by a neighbor, who called atthe Fitting residence. Failing to get response to knock on the door, an entrance was forced, when a ghastly sight was brought to view. Fitting and his wife were lying upon the floor in pool of blood with their heads almost severed from their bodies. Fitting had been acting strangely for several days, and worry over business affairs is thought to have unbalanced his mind. The Fittings came to Hot Springs from Wabasha, Minn., several years ago, where they were highly connected.

The programs rendered by the pupils of these charita- ble institutions were both interesting and instructive. Each year there are numbers of unfortunate blind and deaf mute children of our state equipped for life's battle in these schools, and up- der the law no unfortunate is denied admittancc, the state even providing for transportation and clothes, where it is shown that the parent or guardian is unable to provide the same. Prof. Yates has been reelected superinten- dent of the deaf-mute institute, and Prof o. c. Gray to the same position in the blind school.
