STATE HEALTH BOARD.

A meeting of the new State Board
of Health was held in this city last
night and organization was effect
ed The members present were:
Drs. H. G. Dunayant, ], M. Park,
w. H. Miller and r. B. Christian,
of Little Rock, and w. G. Spearman
of Texarkana. Dr. Russworm OF
Helena, could not be present and
sent his proxy.
DR.. H. G. Duuayant was elected
president and DR.. r, B. Christian
secretary of the board.
A thorough discussion was entered
into concerning future plans. The
unanimous opinion Of the board was
that all appropriation is absolutely
necessary to protect the health in
terests of the state, and it IS like
wise the unified sentiment of the
board that the next legislature be
asked to MAKE such appropriation.
DR.. Spearman of Texarkand,
brought up the question of health
certificates issued in Little Rock
and while he had no cepsure to pass
he regarded it is important that
health certificates should bear the
signature of the city physician, and
be issued only by that official, To
that end he moved that the Little
Rock board of health be requested
to direct the issuance of health
certificates by physician. His
contention was that secretary OF
a board unless he be a physician
could not properly certify that a
person is free from infection. DR.
Spearman's motion prevailed. Ar :
kansas Gazette, Oct. l3.
DR.. Spearman has returned to
the city and he said the board
would make a move to have state
law passed similar to the one IN
Texas, for state protection in time
Of epidemics. He thinks the goyer-
nor should recommend in his mes
sage to the assembly, the crying
need Of setting aside an appropria'
ton to dcfray state quarantine
should one be necessary.

HOUPT ARRESTED.
Garland Sheriff Charged With
Rmbezzlement.

Hot Springs, October l2,-Sherlii
Houpt, of this county, was arrested
today by Coroner E. A. Shippey
upon an indictment of the grand
jury charging him with embazzle-
ment Of county funds. Sheriff
Houpt did not make his settlement
on September 10, as required by
law, and the report that he was
short in his accounts seems to have
been confirmed by recent inyestiga-
ton by the grand jury. The exact
amount OF his shortage is not
known, but believed to be about
$4,000.
Houpt lost about this sum of
money by the failure three years
ago of Ed Hogaboom's bank and
his defalcation is attributed by his
friends to the failure. He was re-
leased Immediately after his arrest
on bond of $4,000. Houpt's sue
cessor, chosen at the recent cleo
ton, X. L. Williams, has received
his commission, which goes into
effect November /. In the means :
time sheriff is to be appointed by
the court. 1t is thought that the
above development will cause a
withdrawal of the contest suit now
in progress in which A. c, Houpt,
brother of Reb Houpt, is endeavor-
ing to show that R. L. Williams was
elected by fraudulent votes. Ar

Africans and Work.

All bard labor, all rough and I'M
skilled labor, is, and owing to the heat
of the climate must be, done by blacks
and in new county like Matabele land
the blacks, though they can sometimes
be induced to till the land, are most
averse to working underground. They
are only beginning to use money, and
they d not want the things which
money buys. The wants of native liv-
ing with his tribe and cultivating meal
les or Kaf1ir corn are confined to a baross
(skin cloal) or some pieces of cotton.
The prospect of leaving his tribe to 60
and work in mino in order that he
may earn wages wherewith he can buy
things that he has no use for does not
at once appeal to him.
The white men, anxious to get tc
work OH the gold reefs, are annoyed at
what they call the stupidity and lazl-
ness of tho native and usually clamol
for legislation to compel the natives t
come and work, adding, of course, thai
regular labor would be the best thing
for the natives. -" Impressions OF Soutl
Africa" by James Bryce.

money in a good cigar, obtained the pa

On opening the papers his wife dis
covered that two items had been clipped
from one and four from another, and
then there Was trouble.
1t was in vain that he tried to ex-

The more ho stammered out excuses the

Thomas Hood.

Hoods position in literature has been
affected by the circumstance that he
did two things excellcntly which i'll
the general view are incompatible, i'll
which case popular opinion generally
fixes on the inferior gift as representing
tho writer's real capacity. He was a
"funny man. as well as lyric poet of
real quality and earnest aims and was
so admirable and original in the former
and more abundant character that it
probably caused many to regard the
serious verse as merely all ambitious
bid for reputation it was not in the
writer's power to achieve. Hood doubt
less helped to strengthen this impress
sion by practically ceasing to produce
serious poetry for some ID years OF his
short life. But that this was due to a
necessity for finding ready market for
his wares is, 1 think, beyond doubt. -
