GAN NEVER LEARN.
That There is Danger in Board-
 ing Moving Trains.

Young boys, white and black, mp about the crossing, make practice of boarding every train that passes. Some of them are constantly being hurt at it. and yet they can never learn.
 Will Scott l2 year,old negro, is one of these boys. Yesterday (Thursday) afternoon he was at the crossing, and, in company with other boys, was boarding the passing trains.
 Will tried to swing on to passing freight train, but failed, and was thrown to the ground aud his right leg broken above the knee. He was carried home to his mother, who cooks for Mir. Dewoody, and his leg was set by Dr. John Waters. He is getting along fairly well with the broken leg, but the accident will not likely benefit other boys who indulge in the same pastime of swinging on moving trains.

THE SOLDIER BOYS.
Met at the Armory to Drill Last Night. Suits and Guns will
 Soon Re Here.

The Jefferson Fencibles held another rousing meeting at their ar- mory last (Thursday) night. A number of visitors were present to witness the drill.
 A short businefs session was held. Captain Braly announced that he had received communication from Gen. Schaer to the effect that the suits were in Little Rock. As there were about three hundred other suits in the lot which were made for other companies in the state, the Fencibles thought best to send q representative to Little Rock to look after their suits. It was accordingly ordered that Capt. Braly should go to Little Rock (Friday) in the interests of the company.
 An hour and tEree-quarters' steady and interesting drill followed the business session. In order to have more room for practlcing, the com pany drilled on the street by the Trulock for some time.
 The company is making good progress and view the gathering war clouds with calmness.

Verdict as to the Killing of
 Hartsell by Elliott.
ELLIOTT NOW AT DEATHS DOOR
Statement Made by Hartsell Shows That He Pulled His Pistol Hartsell Shot Him
 Three Times.
iArkansas Gazette.l

Corner Young held an lnqueS' yesterday morning consequent upon the death of Dr. J. H. Hartsell, who was the aggressor In the shooting scrape with William K. Elliott al Third and Rock streets Wednesday morning Dr. Hartsell died at the city hospital sixteen hours after the shooting.
 At the inquest the testimony of Tavenor Simmons and s. T. Sham back, the only two witnesses, were given, embracing substantially the facts related in this column yes terday. Shamback testified that after the men elinehed, and as they were falling, Elliott shot Hartsell. Elliott remarked, "you have killed me, and Hartsell replied, "you have killed me.
 The following is the finding of the coroner's jury:
 We lind that Dr. Hartsell came to his death en the 23d day of Feb ruary, 1898, from pistol shot wound fired at the hands of w. K. Elliott, and we consider it a case of 1ustifiable homicide"
 When pr. A. H. Scott saw Elliott last at 6 p. m. yesterday, the wound  ed man was doing better than ex- peeted, though by 90 means could any assurance be given that there was a chance for his recovery. Dr. Scott regards the mans condition as dangerous. The doctor did not visit him during the night. Elliott clings tenaciously to life, and ex- presses the hope that he will recov CT. He was able yesterday to give his deposition as follows q was in my feed room yesterday between 10 and Il o'clock looking after some eggs, when Dr. Hartsell entered the room and asked me, if told his wife, and began 10 fire, so l did not un- derstand anything more. He fired three shots before I got my pun. All three Of the shots that te fired took effect in my body. After I got my gun he grappled with me. We both had hold of the gun when it fired do not remember whether it fired before we fell or not, After the gun fired the first shot he said, let us be friends; l am killed; you have killed me- The gun went off again, but it d d not hit either of us.
 Hartsell's remains have been for warded 10 Grapevine, Grant county, for burial.

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow It's Ex
 cessiYe URe.

cessiVe Use.
 Common soda is all right in it's place and indispensable in the kitch- en and for cooking and washing pur- poses, but it was never intended for medicine and people who use it as such will some day regret it.
 We refeg to the common use of soda to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit which thousands of people practice almost daily, and one which is fraught with danger; moreover the soda only gives tenn porary relief and in the end the stomach trouble gets worse and worse.
 The soda acts as mechanical irritant to the walls of the stomach or bowels and cases are on record where it accumulated in the intes- tines, causing death by inflamma- ton or peritOnltis.
 Dr. Harlandson recommends as the safest and surest cure for sour stomach [acid dyspepsia an excel lent preparation sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's DYspep- sa Tablets. These tablets are large 20 grain lOzenges, very pleasant to taste and contain the natural acids, peptones and digestive clements essential to good digestion, and when taken after meals they digest the food perfectly and promptly be- fore it has time to ferment, sour and poison. the blood and nervous system
 Dr. Wurth states that he ihvari- ably uses Stuart,s Dyspt psia Tablets in all cases of stomach Arrangements and finds them q certain cure, not only for sour stomach, but by promptly digesting the food they create a healthy appetite, increase flesh and strengthen the action of the heart and liver. They are not cathartic, but intended only for stomach diseases and weakness and will be found reliable In any stomach trouble except cancer of thestomach. All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at 50cts. per package.
 A little book describing all forms of stomach weakness and their cure mailed free by addressing the Stuart Co, of Marshall, Mich.

TROOPS ID MOVE,
UNCLE sAM's SOLDIERS OR
 DERED TO FLORIDA.
Great Activity at Army Posts and Troops Will Be Mobilized in Florida to Be Ready
 For Action.

Atlanta. Feb. 24.-Activity has never been so great at Fort McPher- son as at the present time. The ar rival of Gen. Merritt has increased the work around the fort to have everything in readiness to move the regiment to any point that may be designated within few hours.
 After a consultation today be- tween Col. Cook, commandant of the fort and railroad officials at which Col Cook was assured that the men could be transported to Florida within night, itis said that Col. Cook told the railroad men to have cars in the yard for use at any hourf It is thought tonight Col. Cook is more warlike than ever Every precaution is being used to keep down exciting talk and any re- ports to the effect that the regiment is about to move is denied by the officers at the fort.
 This silence is considered omnibus as the preparations plainly signify that it is not an ordinary overhaul ing of the property and effects of sthe post.
 4 movement may be mad Q tomor- row or Saturday. The objective point will be either Jacksonville or St. Augustine.
 Gen. Merritt will go to the fort to- morrow morning and inspect the troops. The munitions of war have been greatly increased during the last few days and many of the of ficers are arranging their private af- fairs to leave, as they confidently believe they will be called upon to do so.
 Gen Merritt was seen tonight and asked if his arrival in the city was an indication of immediate action on the part of the regiment.
 "No," said he, ct is part of my duty to inspect each post in my di- vision every year and l have come here merely as T part of my routine work It is not a warlike move at all.

SIBERIAN GENTLEMAN S LIFE

''For five months of the year the Siberian man of fashisf1pen- U : '''e open air, eitheS ny ci ....n.ug camp CT in- tde hunting field" says Thomas c. Alien, Jr., writing of Fashionable Life in Siberia, in the March Ladies' Home Jourual. "He is an early bird under all cir cumstances; and invariably rises be- tween seven and eight o'clock, al though he may have had but Q couple of hours rest. Nearly every meal is succeeded by nap. How ever, dressing operations do not take very long, for when he retires the Siberian only diyests himself of his coat and boots. Shirts are un- known in Siberia, and in many houses beds, also. The samovar is set on the dining room sable ateight a. m together with eggs, black and white bread, sardines, jam and cakes, etc. Breakfast is eaten, and washed down by five or six glasses of tea stirred up with sugar, cream and sometimes jam. At one o'clock dinner is served, and at five in the afternoon. another small meal, much like that of the morning, is taken. A meat supper follows at nine o'clock.

WASHINGTON, Feb. A-Rumors of startling discoveries in the wreck of. the Maine were less freq uent but there were enough of them still afloat today to warrant Secretary Long in making this statement to the newspaper men as he left his office:
 Summing up the situation, I should say that the navy dcpart- ment knows today nothing more about the cause of the disaster than it did five minutes after the receipt of the first dispatch from Capt. Sigs bee"
 The only exact Information re- ceived by the navy department from Havana during the day was convey ed in Capt. Sigsbee's telegram as follows:
 HAVANA, Feb. 24.-Long, secre- tary of Navy: Wrecking tug Right Arm arrived yesterday. Begins work today. Much encumbering metal must be blasted away in detail Navy divers down aft seven days, forward four days. Bodies of Jen- kins and Merritt not found. Two unidentified bodies of crew fouad yesterday. rcompartment filled with detached broken and boyant furniture and fittings, mud and con- fusion. Spanish authoriti, S continue offers of assistance and care for wounded and dead. Every thing that goes from wreck to the United States should be disenfeeted. Wrecking company should provide for this.

Chaplain Chadwick charg- ed with all matters relative to the dead His conduct is beyond praise, Don't know what reports are being printed, but the intensively active representatives of the press here have been very considerate of me and my position.
