TRIP TO BAKER SPRINGS.
Fine Health and Summer Resort to Be
Made Out of These Noted Springs
by an incorporated Company.

Yesterday the editor of this paper
returned from trip to Baker
Springs-spent two days there on
business, along with other directors
and members of the Baker Springs
Company, which was recently incor-
porated. Those on the trip with us
we're Henry Moore, R. B. Williams,
w. H. Arnold, g. A. Hays, J. NJ.
Somervel and H. H. Wheless. Sur
veyor P. NJ. Holder, of Texarkana,
and Sheriff A. R. Thompson, of
Bosier Parish, La, also accompan-
led us.
Our party was met at Wicks, a
station seventy-nine miles north of
Texarkana, on the T. & Ft. S. rail-
way, by Messrs. B, R. Jacobs, Bob
Beavers and M. Vanderburg, with
their wagons, and the ride of ten
miles to the springs was made be-
fore 9 o'clock Monday night. A good
cook soon had us a fine supper
ready, after which all camped out
under tent or arbor.
Tuesday morning Surveyor Holder
soon got to work and laid off ten
choice lots adjoining each other for
the stockholders southeastern
front. Some twenty-five other lots
were also plated, to be disposed Of
as the directors see fit, to unobjec-
tionable parties.
A portable sawmill is already on
the ground and lumber will be fur
nished at reasonable figures. Some
five or more members of the Corpor-
alton have already contracted to
erect summer cottages Of from two
to four rooms, of rough lumber
A dozen or more people have spoken
tor lots and expect to spend the
coming summer there.
Contract was let to Mr. Jacobs to
clean off about twenty acres ada
cent to the spring; also the park
reservation of three acres around
the spring.
Baker Springs is located in the
northwestern portion of Howard
county, A pure white sulphur water
comes from it in sufficient quantity
for the use of several thousand peo-
pie for drinking purposes. There is
also Gne freestone spring close by.
Senator Jas. K. Jones told us some
time since that the water was ex-
actly the same as the famous White
Sulphur Springs of Virginia. 1t acts
directly upon the liver and kidneys.
The summers are mild, as the eleva-
ton above sea level is about 1900
feet, cover being needed every night
in the summer,
We have not space to further de-
scribe either the springs or our trip
at this time. All had a delightful
time while attending to necessary
business, While there we had plenty
of game-wild turkeys, mountain
goat, etc. Mr.. Bob Beavers is GER
tainly the champion sportsman
he and Mr. Hays furnished us the
game.
We neglected to state shat MIR. L.
w. Bearield secured hotel privileges
and will erect a good hotel there.
Season will open about July ID.
From time to time we will have
more to say about the celebrated
Baker Springs.

The Texarkana Ice company of

cided in selecting picture to adorn
the same, the work has been delay
ed. Mr.. Palhamius had many de-
signs submitted to him, and his
good taste" led him to select
picture entitled, "Just off the Ice.

WHISTLE DEAFNESS.

The Strange Disease Which Attacks Loco
motive RngineepA
Railway surgeons are learning many
new facts IN regard to the physical re-
quirements Of railway employees, said
j. X. Matson of Chicago at the Southern.
Recently the railway surgeons of
the United States held national con-
vention in Chicago, and one, night l
heard an interesting chat in the lobby
OF hotel by some of them. The uni
versal opinion among them was that il
is just as important that the ears of
railroad employees and particularly
the ears OF locomotive engineers, should
be scientifically tested for natural or ac-
quired defects as that their eyes should
be tested for possible color blindness.
Whistle deafness is now common
disease among railroad employees.
Many a railroad accident could be traced
to this peculiar whistle deafness if
the truth were known. This disease
makes the ear of a locomotive engineer
sensitive 10 the sounds by which he is
immediately surrounded, but entirely
deaf to sounds Of all other kinds.
1.-THE same condition is often OBJ
served among boiler makers, who can
hear slight noises when the air is laden
with the chatter of hammers upon iron
plates, while they are insensible to the
same sounds ia quiet surroundings. Lo-
com otive engineers sometimes have de-
fective ears that can detect slight sounds
indicating imperfect working of the ma
chinery, even while the bell is ringing
or the whistle blowing or both are in
use. A locomotive engineer thus affiict-
ed should be relieved of duty for awhile
until the ear has recovered it's normal
condition. enabling it to discriminate
between sounds according TO their exact
relative volume. pitch and intensity"

TAs Brave Soldier Died ~ He Had Always
Hoped He Would.

noRoO Nc Wouios
Moore was dying. Baird was severely
wounded. The early winter night was
creeping over the field of battle, and
Hope gallant soldier though he was.
judged it prudent to stay his hand.
Soult had been roughly driven back
The transports were crowding into the
harbor. 1t was enough to have ended a
long retreat with the halo of victory
and to have secured an undisturbed en-
barkation.
Meanwhile Moore had been carried
into his quarters at Coruna. A much
attached servant stood with tears run
ming down his face as the dying man
was carried into the house. '.My
friend" said Moore. ST is nothingl''
Then, turning to member of his staff,
Colonel Anderson, he said Anderson,
You know j have always wished to die
in this way. l hope my country will do
me justice. Only once his lips CULVER

to my mother" and then stopped. while
he struggled to regain composure.
"Stanhope," he said as his eyes fell ON
his aid-de-oamp's face. remember me
to your sister"-the famous Hester
Stanhope, Pitts niece, to whom Moore
was engaged. Life was fast and yisibly
sinking, but he said, II feel myself 80
strong fear shall be long dying"
But he was not. Death came swiftly
and almost painlessly. Wrapped in a
soldiers cloak. Ire was carried by the
light Of torches to q grave hastily dug
in the citadel at Coruna, and far of
to the south, as the sorrowing officers
stood round the grave of their dead
chief, could be heard from time to time
the sound Of Soult's guns. yet in sulien
retreat. That scene is made immortal
in Wolfe's noble lines:
Few and short were the prayers we said,
And we spoke not a word Of sorrow,
But we steadfastly gazed on the face That was
dead, Fvsti tIe4t
And We bitterly thought OF the morrow.
We thought ms we followed his naryow bed
And smoothed down his lenely pillow
That the foe and the stranger would tread Ger

And we far away on the billow.

Perhaps, said the Judge testify and

The architect. says Russell Sturgis In
Tho Atlantic. must possess love OF
building. and of heavy stones, and Of
good bricks. and Of stout, solid walls
aud of handsome timbers. handsomely
cut and framed. He must even love
the new material, wrought and rolled
iron and steel. for its great and as
yet only partly known capabilities.
When one is asked by would be
student of architecture about his (the
student's) chances Of succeeding as an
architect. it is very good to find out
what his proclivities are and wheth-
er he is merely interested in fine art
and seized with the idea that archi-
lecture is an easy, fine art to study and
to practice. aaeE,a fiv reirfA trs
The architect should love the quarries
and should visit them with eager curl
osity. The cleavage Of stone and its APP
pearance in its natural bed should be
not only delight to him, but an object
Of close study. The architect should
love the lumber yard, not to say the
forest. To him the timber in itself
should be thing delightful TO study
and its possible uses delightful to con-
template. The architect should love the
brickyard, and experiments in cements
and in mortars should be his holiday
amusement And, finally. the architect
must have such ON eye and such a
soundness Of Judgment that bad work
cannot escape him. A familiarity with
details not unlike that Of good master
builder he must combine with knowl-
edge of principles and Of possibilities
far beyond that Of the master builder,

buildings as of inevitable sequence. and
