General Business and War.
lChicago Record J


 The most serious danger that threatens the business interests of a nation entering on war is the aP- prehension of it's people, causing sharp curtailmeut of credit and sud den derangement of commerce. The calm confidence of the people of the United States at this time finds apt expression in the stability of values ofcomodities as we'll as of securities, and in the fact that no serious tightening of money has occurred in financial centers.
 This condition of things is based upon knowledge and judgment of the position of the United States. No theory of the duration or sever ity lof the conflict encourages be- lief in the demoralization of our in, ternal or foreign commerce, al- though the one may be diminished and the other restricted as the free movement of merchandise from thls country to foreign ports is impeded. America IS the worlds greate t granary, and upon our food pro- ducts the civilized world is depend ent. We have at home everything that is necessary for our subsist ence and the material and the means for manufacturing every thing that is necessary to the carry ing on of war. With all material considerations in our favor there is no reason for losing faith in our selves.
 It is only reasonable that capital should be more prudent and invest ment more conservative; that in a time of excitement of the public mind trade should be depressed, merchants restricting their orders and industry consequently hesita- ting. These are the first steps in readjustment to a new condition of things. But paralysis Of general business, stoppage of industries and widespread demoralization nc thoughtful observer believes will re suit.
 Invasion of the country is not threatened and the task the United States has undertaken entails nc great tax on it's strength. Looking at the question from whatever point of view one may, confidence should be stimulated and war permitted to be only an episode in national ac- tiyity, without menace to the ma, terial advancement of the nation.

A SUCCESSFUL ARKANSAN
Millionaire, Miner and Bank Owner Returns to Visit His
 Native State.


 Mir. ! k. Bordeaux, u millionaire. miner and banR-Owner of Butte City, Montana, was a visitor in this city last week. MT. Bordeaux is a native of Arkansas and is a cousin of Mir. John Seabrooks and family of this city. He has a number of relatives in Arkansas and after a fourteen years absence returned to visit his native State. When he first left this State he was without other resources than youthful health and vigor. During the years after his departure he travelled over a great part of the world and spent much time in China, where he learned the language. He returned to America and secured government position at Washington as Chinese interpre- ter. During his life in the west perseverance and energy character ized his habits, and his efforts to acquire wealth were soon crowned with success. He now ownes many mines in Montana and is president of three banks.
 His friends and relatives whom he visited durning the past week were glad to learn ofhis success in life and all Arkansas will be interested in knowing that one of her sons is prospering.

The First Battle at Hand.

Unless all signs fail, the first great battle between the United States and Spain is at hand. The eyes of this nation aud of Europe are now eagerly turned to the Orient and the action of Commo- dore Dewey's fleet in the Pacific ocean is awaited with anxiety. It is there a great naval battle is scheduled to take place. It may be today or tonight, and for aught we know, it may have been last night.
 The American fleet is billed 10 ar rive off the Philippine Islands to- day and the Spanish fleet is said to have sailed to meet it, eager for a contest of skill, strength and slaughter.
 The opposing forces are fairly matched and the engagement prom ;ses to be a hot and bloody one,
 The American squadron consists of the protected cruisers Baltimore and Olympia, the cruisers Raleigh, Boston and Concord, the gunboat Petral and the Hugh McColoch, carrying total of 102 guns.
 The Spanish Squadron is com posed of the unarmored cruisers Castilla, Reina Christina, Don Juan de Questria and Velasco, and the gunboats Paragon, EI Cano, Ulloa, Gen. Leso and Marquis del Duero, carrying a total of 138 guns.
 The apparent disparity of forces between the fleets will probably count for nothing, as the Americans are believed to have better class of vessels, manned by superior off, cers and gunners than the enemy. America, in times past, has over come superior forces in point of numbers and armament in naval conflict, and Commodore Dewey and his men will no doubt give good account. of themselves when the time comes.
 Commodore Dewey is said to be an experienced and distinguished officer, and those who best know him have confidence in his ability to take care of himself in any emer- gencY.

Moonlight Picnic.

The Bachelor Maids enjoyed a pleas ant diversion last Wednesday, beinp the guests of Miss Nell Collier on . moonlight picnic. A number of young gentlemen were favored with invitations to join the party.
 The buss took the party about 5 o'clock in the afternoon and carried them out to the shady groves and arbors at Sulphur Springs. Soon after the arrival at the Springs the lunches were spread and all sat down to the enjoyment of the good things prepared by the young ladies.
 After the remains of the feast were cleared away the young people in- duIged in a dance in the pavilion. The dancing was by no means 2 SC ondary feature of the picnic.
 The party came home while the moon was sending its last rays through the tops of the trees and song and story enlivened the home ward journey. Every one was en- thusiastic over the success of the en- tertainment and the young men made eloquent and ardent appeals for permission to again be the guests of the Bachelor Maids. Those pres- ent were:
 Misses Aline Cunningham, Reba Dewoody, Grace York, Fay Taylor, Emma White and Nell Collier; Messrs. Irl Armstrong, Ed Russell. D. c. Bell, Will Lee. Drew White. Neel Martin, billiard Saunders and Mack Hammett. The party was chaperoned by Mir. and Mrs. R. E. Lee.
