TIE League of Bimetallic Clubs.
so called, met in annual convention
in Louisville, Kentucky, the middle
of last week and resolved itself into
q an-sixteeu-to-one love-feast, and
SO became, practically, league for
the promotion OF silver monometal-
ism. There was never time in the
history of the government when there
was so much of both money metals
circulating side-by-slde among the
people rs now. Practical bi-metall-
ism is au established fact under the
present gold standard of values. No
weii-informed person, Democrat,
Populist Or silver Republican, will
attempt to derry that the free coin
age of silver at the present ratio OF
16 to l Wonld drive every ounce of
our gold out of circulation and land
and leave US OH a silver basis, an act
ual silver monometallism, as fixed
and absolute as If it were embodied
in the constitution Itself. And yet
the supporters of Mr.. Bryan and the
Chicago platform have the nerve to
call themselves bimeta!lists. Verify
the professional humorists have no
monopoly OF genuine humor.

Not q Paper Railroad.

Bet an ectEal road will soon be
| built through Taney county and For.
syth. We say this because Spring
fields best business and monied men
are at the back of the enterprise.
The new road will be an extention
of the Missouri Pacific, built from
some point on the Jefferson City and
Bagnell line, south TO the Arkansas
line or beyond. Springfield derives
much benefit from the southern coun-
ties of Mo. and northern Arkansas,
but nothing te be compared with
what is in waiting for her. This
country being rich in fruit, agricuf-
tural products, timber and ores is
we'll known to the promoters of the
Queen City of the Ozarks. They also
know they can't afford to idle their
time away and let some road sneak
in from Eureka Springs or a point to
the east of us, that will tap this
country. The capital stock OF the
new roae is $2,0OO,0OO. Springfield
proposes to raise 100000 of this by
subscription, one half Of which has
already been secured. Committees
have been named to look after right
of way, depot grounds etc. The COM
mercial club of the city north of US
have many good things in store for
us that it is not vet at liberty to make
public. Be patient, the iron mes
senger is footing in our direction.

ton each week.

HERE is a question that may per-
haps interest you: Do the majority of
peopie-wolnen especially-appear
at their best in their own homes or
in those of others? One thing is evil
dent, scarcely anyone shows to equal
advantage under both circumstances
Many of us Can recall ladies who are
charming when thew are out calhng,
because they exert themselves to be
agreeable, but are liable to be found
in what has been aptly called "mental
dishabille" when ssdropped in upon
unexpectedly. Other women, on the
contrary, are sweet, gracious and ma
tural at home, but nervous, restless
and not by any means ideal COM
panious outside of their own doors
whereas another person, who is
pleased and pleasing when invited to
your house, is painfully prim and self
conscious when you return the visit
The influence of surroundings upon
some human beings is simply aston
ishing.-McCall's Magazine.

MUCH of the danger Of using kero-
sene OIL for kindling fires would be
avoided if corn cobs were handy to
be dipped into the oil and used as
kindling. The cobs will hold more
oil than will wood, and if dry sticks
are piled over the soaked cobs they
will quickly make a blaze, which is
always needed on cold mornings to
lift the volume of cold air that is al
ways found in pipes and chimneYs
after the fire goes down.-The Fur

OHIO Republicans pominated
Judge Nash for governor, and pass
ed ringing resolutions, endorsing Nc
KinIey's great administration, ap-
plauding the heroic achievements OF
our army and navy. and declaring in
favor Of additional legislation to con-
troll trusts. Republicans led in the
enactment of antitrust legislation,
and they will follow it up with what
ever legislation may be necessary.
There is nothing in "Anti-Trust" as
an exclusive Democratic war-cry.

The morality of tho business world
is far in advance of what 1t was
thirty years ago, as You will readily
remember if you try. Promptness,
neatness, civility. sobriety and truth
tulness on the part of employees is in.
sisted upon by all great business en-
terprises. The motto of a great mer-
camille house OF which the writer was
reading a few days ago, is. "Work
hard and tell the TRUTH If this firm
detected salesman misrepresenting
goods to a customer there was al
Immediate vacancy behind the coun-
ter. A drunken employe is not tel.
Grated by any reputable house. 1t is
not difficult to remember when these
things were not 40. A time has come
when superior manhood and superior
womanhood arc required to dc the
worlds business, and will do so more
aud more.

Clover.

To the Editor Of The Republican:
l have been termed by some
crank, on the subject of clover. may
be. If in advocating the sowing of
more clover is any criterion to go by.
from my experience, and from what
knowledge l have been able to gain,
There is no crop farmer can raise
that his stock will live, thrive and
grow fat on all the year round, as
they will on good clover, either as
pasture or well sun.dried into bay.
There is no stock raised on the farm
but what will eat clover as green
pasture or made into hay. Horses,
cattle. sheep, hogs, and the poultry
will eat it. Ify you will throw out any
kind of hay that is mixed with clover
where the hogs can get at 1t, they
will CLEAN out the clover and eat it
all up clean, with ravcDOus appe-
tite. In the winter if you will take
good clcan, sun-dried clover hay and
chop it up fine and mix it with wheat
bran and pour boiling hot water over
it to scald it, your hens will eat it
with avidity, and my word for it if
they are we'll taken care of with
good warm, dry quarters. your egg
basket viii be replenished ten-fold.
There is-Io argument that can be
advanced against the growing of
clover among the Ozark hills, for
there is to be seen, living witnesses
and positive proof existing oil along
the wagon roads and on the farms of
few progressive, enterprising, de-
termined-to-get-th h ere farmers
throughout Taney county. That goes
to provo that it will grow here in
great abundance and every one of
them will say they have no better
feed. Stock fed with clover need
but very little if any gram. Now if
every farmer will put in thorough
preparation and SOW from to 10
acres in clover he will not only sup
ply himself with good feed for his
stock, but would enhance the value
and embellish the looks of his farm.

himself kicked the fat into the fire

he declared from the pulpit of the
Mormon temple that, II think it has
been worth all the blood that has
been shed and all the money that has
been spent to have learned our own

Suicide on the Farm.

We are told by physicians aud sta
tisticans that at least sew enty per cent
of the deaths in this county occur
from preventable diseases. If this is
true, or even half of that percentage
of deaths might be prevented if pro-
per care is exercised, what a nation

When q farmer meets his city
friends he is fond OF talking about
the s'pure air. of the country, and of
urging his city friend to "come out
of the smoke aud dust of the city and
breathe Gods pure air once" 1t is
good thing to get out and take long
pulls at the fresh air of the country,
yet if the city man was as careless OF
his health and Of that of his family as
is his country cousin, he would look
upon himself as possessing q homi-
cidal mania.
In the first place, the farmer pays
too little attention to the proper ven-
tilatioa of his house. This does not
enter into his thoughts when he
builds, apparently his main object be-
ing to get house with a certain
number of rooms, without any re-
gard to how they are to be warmed
or ventilated, and if his house hap
pens to be we'll arranged for ventila-
ton, he never thinks of properly
using the means at his command.
He goes out himself insufficiently
protected in all kinds Of weather to
attend to his stock and other work,
and expects his family to do the same,
and then, when pneumonia takes hold
of them, they wonder why it is. In
the winter they will have one room
heated like an oven, and then go to
bed in rooms without fire or heat,
and where the fresh air has not been
admitted for weeks, and in that viii
ated atmosphere sleep all night, and
get up and dress with the thermome-
ter below freezing point. And they
expect to have good health under
such circumstances.
We talk great deal about mala-
ria, and lay all our Ills at that door
and never take any steps to clear the
malaria from the atmosphere.
To remedy these evils, drive out
the malaria; properly warm and ven.
tilate your houses; protect your
bodies, especially your chest, back
and feet, from the weather; let into
] your sleeping rooms plenty of that

Work on Upper White River Commences.

Work on Upper White River Commenced.
Batesville Guard: The first work
toward the construction of locks and
dams on White river has begun. This
week marks the beginning of this
great undertaking.
The government steamer Sheldon,
towing the gunboat of the govern
ment towing the quarterboat of the
government fleet OH White river, ar
rived Tuesday from Newport. with
the surveying party to locate the sites
for the locks and dams. The party,
of which Captain William Parkin is
chief, consists of eight men. Captain
Parkin and Mr.. Brantly are assistant
engineers,a and Mr.. Van Frank, another
assistant, will soon join them in the
work. After a short stop at the
landing here, which afforded Captain
Parkin an opportunity to meet few
of his old Batesville friends, the Shell
don proceeded up the river to Earn-
hearts. There the quarter boat was
tied up and on Wednesday the Shell
don passed down the river again and
when the water falls sufficiently will
begin snagging.
Meanwhile, Captain Parkin's party
will make complete survey of the
liver and take borings for the lock
sites. AS the work above is finished
the party with the quarterboat will
drop down the river from the secoud
to the first lock site below this city.
1t is estimated that it will require
two months time to make this sur
vey and that another two months will
be required to assemble the material
and complete the preparation of the
work. 1t is probable the work may
be done directly by the government
instead of contract. In either case
the work has been begun, and every
one hopes it may not stop until the
whole scheme for the improvement
of the river shall be complete.
The facts contained in the above
article are Of much Importance to
Taney county. It seems that White
| river is to be made navigable to Fer
