THE SOLDIER BOYS.
Met at the Armory to DriR Last Night. Suits and Guns Will
 Soon He Here.

The Jefferson Fencibles held another rousing meeting at their IF. mory last lThursday) night. A number of visitors were present to witness the drill.
 A short business 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 Feneibles thought best to send 0 representative to Little Rock tolook after their suits. It was accordingly ordered that Capt. BraIy should go to Little Rock fFriday) 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 practicing, 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.

CAN NEVER LEARN.
That There IS Danger in Board
 ing Moving Trains.

Young boys, white and black, up about the crossing, make a practice of boarding every train that passes. Some of them are constantly being hurt atit, and yet they can never learn.
 Will Scott a l2 year old negro, is one of these boys Yesterday CThursday) 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 and 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 thesame pastime of swinging on moving trains.

American 2a.,road n Honduras

&AAAhElCaE fEfta. Sfalft A.t k@ssltAbkEf4S
 It has been obse4ged that Dr. Chaen, oey NJ. Depow has not been making so many dinner speeches as usual this win ter. There has been Gn occasional half day when tho New York newspapers had not a word about him. It now transpirea that he and q number of aris- tocratio associates have been getting control of the Central American repub- lie of Honduras.
 Depew is at tho head, so it is said, of q syndicate to build a railroad from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean through Honduras. The road will begin at Puer- to Cortez, cross the country and end at a point oil the bay of Fonosco, on the Pacific coast. It is claimed for this new route that it will shorten ~the distance from Mobile to San Francisco by ,000 miles IL will bc of Yaat advantage to gulf ports generally aud boan important means of extending our southern trade. Tho syndicate guarantees to complete it III SiN eaIs. III return iCl tHc A0du biso Honduras government makes liberal concessions to tha syndicate i'll the way of land grants. Inc syndicate is to con trol the foreign customs of tho republic and pay its debt Thus 1t will be seen that the Valentine syndicate, as the company is called, practically owns Honduras In go years the road becomes the property of tho republic.
 It seems that foreign companies must, for the present at least, construct all public improvements in the Spanish American republics. We may congratu- late ourselves that it is a United States syndicate that has obtained tho Hon. dures job.

DANGER IN SODA.
ssrious Results Sometimes Follow Its Ex-
 cessive Use

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 a medicine and people who use it as such will some day regret it.
 We refer 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 p0rary relief and In the end the stomach trouble gets worse and worse.
 The soda acts as a 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 intlamma- ton or pefitonitis.
 Dr. Haflandson 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 Dgspep- sin Tablets. These tablets are large % grain lezenges, very pleasant to taste and contain the natural acids, pept0nes 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 inyart- ably uses Stuart's Dyspepsia 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 8 healthy appetite, increasp flesh and strengthen the action oi the heart and liver. They are not q cathartic, but intended only for stomach diseases and weakness and will be found reliable In any stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at 50ets per package.
 A little book describing all forms of stomach weakness and their cure mailed free by addressing the Stuart Go, of Marshall, Mich.

WAS JUST|FIABLE, 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.
ELLIOTT NOW AT DEATHS DOOR
Arkansas Gazette)

Corner Young held an inquest yesterday morning conseq quent upon the death of Dr. J. H. Hartsell, who was the aggressor In the shooting scrape with William K. Elliott at 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 eye-wltnesses, were given, embracing substantially the facts related in this column yes- terday. Shambaek testified that after the men clinched, 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 find that Dr, Hartsell came to his death on the 23d day of Feb ruary, 1898, from a pistol shot wound fired at the hands of W. K. Elliot, and we consider it a case of ]ustifable homicide. ,
 When Dr. A. H. Scott saw Elliott last at 6 p. m. yesterday, wound ed man was doing better than ex- pected, though by no 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 eiings tenaeiously to life, and ex- presses the hope that he will reeov CT. He was able yesterday to give his deposition as follows: "I was in my feed room yesterday between 10 and II o'clock looking after some eggs, when Dr. HartSell entered the room and asked me if told his wife, and began to fire, so I did not un- derstand anything more He fired three shots before I got my gun. 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 il fired. I do not remember whether it fired before we fell or not. After the gun fired the first shot he said, let us be friends; I am killed; you have killed me- The gan went off again but it d.d not hit either of us.
 Hartsell's remains have been for warded to Grapevine, Grant county for burial.

SIBERIAN GENTLEMAN'S LIFE
Mapping and Eating Occupy 8 Large
 Portion of his Time.

"For five months of the year the Siberian man of fashion lives in tue open air, either at the mining camp or in the hunting field, says Thomas q. Allen, IT,, writing of Fashionable Life in Siberia, in the March Ladies Home Journal. 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 a couple of hours rest. Nearly every meal is succeeded by a nap. How ever, dressing operations do not take very long, for when he retires the Siberian only divests 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 able at eight a. m together with eggs, black and white bread, sardines, jam and scakes, 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.

NEWS IN BRIEF.

The Goodbar Company, of Mem phis, has leased 200 Tennessee con- Yicts to make shoes.
 The three years sentence for Nichols, the New Orleans bank wreeker, has been confirmed by the Supreme Court.
 Real estate men at Nashville have gone into court to get their assess ments placed or the same basis as railways and other corporations.
 The cruiser Montgomery arrived at Port Tampa and was directed at once to proceed to Havana by way of Key West.
 A rumor that the fillibuster Daunt- less had been captured near Palm Beach, Fla, with a large expedition aboard, is not confirmed.
 F. w Needs shot his brother-in- law, R. J. Rust, of Jackson, Miss. The only known cause is given by Mrs. Needs, who says she is herself to blame. Rust boarded with Needs.
 It is definitely known that eighteen persons perished in the wreck of the Asia, of Massachu- setts. Three men were rescued off a piece of wreckage, but were so far gone they could not even tell their names.
 Near Reagan, Tex Jesse Kelly shot and killed two brothers named Dewalt, and then rode in and sur rendered. The Dewalt boys accused Kelley of sending an offensive valen. tine to their sister. Kelley denies the valentine and claims selfde- fense.
 Newspaper correspondents at Ha. Yana are sending out all sorts of stories about discoveries made by divers who are searching the Main wreck, but officers in charge say not word of reliable information has been given out. The correspond ents agree in saying that no dis. eovery has been made that supports the accident or explosion theory.
 A lurid report to the effect that affairs had come to such crisis in Havana that Gen. Lee was about to leave for this country for confer ence, having such important com munications to make as could not be sent by cable, has been denied by Lee himself. Senator Proctor is men tioned in connection with the report as the representa-: of Me- Kinley to confer with Gen. Lee. certainly, though, the tension at Havana is very great. Officials are courteous and bland as ever, but the minor army officers are insult ing and offensive.
 In the Senate yesterday, when the consular appropriation bill came up, Allen, of Nebraska, offered as an amendment the belligerency resolu- tion passed by the Senate a year ago. That precipitated animated discussion. Morgan, of Alabama, was in it up to the neck. Foraker, of Ohio, thought the President , would act at the proper time. Thurston conselled patience. Hoar thought the floor of the Senate no place for such discussion. Allen ; amendment was tabled, but later he came back with new resolution tending in the same direction.

HAWAIIAN COMMISSION.
The President Transmits 10 Congress the
Report About the Recently Ac-
CURED Territory.

Washington, Dec. THE president
yesterday transmitted To the congress
the report of the Hawaiian commission,
consisting of Senators Cnllom and Nor
gan, Representative Hit, President
Dole and Judge Frear, of Hawaii, to-
gether with the text of the bills drawn
by the commission for the government
of the islands as portion OF the
United States. The preliminary por-
tion of the report is mainly descriptive
of the Hawaiian islands, the inhab-
itants, the existing institutions, the
public domain, productions, climate,
harbors and shipping facilities and
various conditions of general interest.
The remaining portion is mainly de-
voted to the discussion of the legisla-
tion proposed by the commission, Civ
ing in the appendix the various reports
of subcommittee and copies of the
bills suggested.
Three bills are formulated for the
consideration of congress The first
and principal one outlines general
plan of government and the other two
deal with subordinate questions. OF
the main bills the commissioners ex-
press the opinion that it will prove to
be "such measure for the govern
ment of the Hawaiian islands as will
best promote the interests of their
people at the same time that it pro-
notes the interests and maintains the
sovereignty of the people of the United
States"
Probably the most important por-
tion of the bill is the section defin-
ing citizenship, which provides that
''all white persons, including Portu-
guese and persons of African descent,
and all persons descending from the
Hawaiian race, on either the paternal
or maternal side, who were citizens of
the republic of Hawaii Immediately
prior to the transfer of the sovereignty
thereof To the United States, are here
by declared to be citizens of the
United States"
