The steam shovel has been putting
in something like time this week,
though it is greatly hindered and de-
layed while the mud train gets out of
the way of the regular and extra trains
running over the road. A very serious
accident was narrowly averted
Wednesday of last week, near Crow
creek. while the mud train was unload
ing. 1t had the right of way, and an
extra freight westbound came thunder
ing along unannounced. The engin-
eer managed to stop just in time to
| avert the collision which all aboard
thought was inevitable. Several of the
men, including Mr.. Riley, who. is in
charge of the work here, jumped from
| the train sustaining slight bruises and
a considerable shaking up. The big

turned. The dump is being widened
at Crow creek. A spur will be run
into the bed of the creek soon for the
purpose of securing gravel which ex-
lists there in great abundance. The
track is being raised at that point also.
The work west of town, as heretofore
outlined in these columns, continues
under large force of men and teams.

The School Board Settles II.

The Forrest City School Board met at
the bank last night for the transaction of
business.
The President called the Board to order.
PRESENT.. Rollwage. president, j. r.
Fondren, secretary, and Directors John

The minutes of last meeting read and
approved. Communications and bills read.

I'd paid.
Mr.. Rollwage then stated the approx.
mated financial condition of the district,
and said that it was in order to discuss the
question as to whether or not under exist
lug circumstances it would be possible to
have free school next fall.
Mr.. Rollwage said that he and Mr.. Fon.
dren had gone over the books and sources
of information carefully, and that they bad
made an estimate, which might vary a
hundred dollars. and that they found that
the district is now S6,27s Sc in debt; that
from this there is to be taken a small bal
ance which they have to their credit of
slos.s4, making net liability of Sc, 170. O2.
Taking from this the revenue to be derived
from the recent tax collections, together
with the two State appointments. which
Is altogether estimated at 81 600 Iaaves
the district still owing 81, 10, upon which
1t is paying ten per ceut interest. 1t was
shown that to run the schools nine months
it would cost about 81 900.
The ladies of the Auxiliary Board asked
to know approximately what it would cost
to run the white school, and il was esti-
mated at s4o0 per month.
Mrs. Jennie Rollwage then took the
'hoor Ia favor of putting forth every effort

Closing Day.

The Catholic day school was appro-
priateiy closed Tuesday with picnic.
The labor of the session ended Friday.
l.. h. Grobmyer, rendered the use of
his Oak Valley stock farm. about a
mile south of town, to the big and lit
tie ones, and at an early hour the
shouts and laughter of the crowd, as
they passed through town in wagons,
under the motherly care of Sisters
Walburga and Xavia, made many older
ones wish they were "a child again
just for today"
Between forty and fifty little ones
and twenty-five bigger ones, were
turned loose upon the beautiful farm,
and the sleek fat cattle in the pastures
threw up their heads in alarm at this
seeming intrusion. but soon caught the
spirit of the occasion and kicked up
their heels and joined in the fun,
1t was basket spread, and all quar-.
tiers of the globe were represented 10
the viands. Unlike the parable of the
loaves and fishes, there was scarcely
twelve baskets-full left all seemed to
have borrowed appetites.
Various games were INDUCED, but
the distribution of prizes was the most
interesting and amusing incident of
the day. To avoid dissatisfaction as
to their value and distribution, the
prizes were hung upon limbs of trees,
and the children were blindfolded and
started on hunt, with the privilege
to keep what they found. Such wild
reaching, stumbling, shouting and
laughing beggars description.
The genial countenance of Father
Kind was missed in the morning, but
towards evening the worthy father put
in his appearance, muddy, tired and
sunburnt. He had missed connection
and spent part of the day fishing near
Madison.
As the sun began to sink in the
western horizon, the crowd regretfully
jumped into the wagons and took
ride for home, assured of one thing
that the picnic and remembrance of
the kindnesses of the good sisters
would forever remain bright on the
tablet OF their memories.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON. JUNE2. 1900.

There are whole lot Of people
in town who entertain that per-
fec,ly ridiculous idea, that the
park ought to have an IRON fence
around it and contain Pavilion.
1t is the very rankest short-sight-
cdness and the height of folly"
TO turn this beautiful park out to
the stock, and for hitch racks, at
ter spending so much money to
secure the little start at improving
il. 1t would be well for the coun-
ell to reconsider their action, and
conclude TO put the Improvement
there which so many persons are
asking for.
The Forrest City times., 1899-06-02

Learning that q certain gentle
man IN town contemplated building
quite number OF residences to

needed, and that perhaps a word
Of encouragement might bring him

tiles will repair and fix that big,
ugly ditch, which is rapidly eating
its way INTO my property. 1t
struck US as being quite a sensible
notion. We may not expect men
with money and brains to build
houses where the surrounding
streets are not kept in order, and
especially where they are washing
deeper and deeper every rain, en-
dangering the bordering fences.

This brings US to the considera.
ton OF the question Of forming an
Improvement district and issuing
bonds. Some of the foremost bus.
mess men in town are in favor OF
doing so, and have signed petl.

their wishes into effect. The pc
tition prays the council to form all

Orders Her Ships Away From Manila and
Asks America To Guard Her Intcr-str.
Washington. d. c., Feb. 2S.-The
German government has set at rest, ef
fectually, the rumors of n purpose on
Its part, directly or indirectly, to EN-
barrass the United States In the Phil
ippine Islands, and has given n signal
manifestation of Its desire to promote
the most cord nj relations bstwcen Ger
many and the United States by order
ing the withdrawal of all vessels Of its
navy from Philippine waters ana plac-
Ing the lives and property Of its sub
jects there under the protection Of the
United States government.
This action is regarded as master
stroke In diplomacy, by which Will be
removed all possibility OF clash be-
tween German and American interests
in and about Manila, and notice to all
the world, and especially to any Amer
leans who entertained any suspicious
of sinister designs by Germany, OF the
wish and purpose of the German EN-
pire to cultivate the friendship of the
United States.
1t was announced this afternoon that
the German government had ordered
its ships away from Manila, probably
nese coast. The announcement was
coupled with the statement that the
German vessels were needed there.
This may be the cause. For the
story has come to Washington that the
Chinese have been abusing German
citizens almost In the shadow OF the
Chinese cnpital-nt Tien Tsln. The
Germans have come to believe that
the only way to meet such cases Is by
punitive measures, and rs Ticn Tsln Is
mt the head of navigation on the Peiho
river, just below Pekin, II may be the
purpose to send some warships up the
river to convey an idea Of the German
displeasure.
The German government followed
Its announcement to the State Depart
ment of II purpose to order Its vessels
away from the Philippines with n for
mai application to the United States
government to undertake the protec-
tlon OF all the Germans in the Philip
pines, not only in person, but In prop
crty.
This wns regarded as n signal man.
Hesitation OF confidence that the ad-
minlstratIon felt could not he resisted
and us practically formal notice that
the Germans have no Interior purpose
In the Philippines and, rather than b,
subjected to suspicion on that score,
had taken the course of turning over
the care OF the welfare of lis citizens
to the United States government.
The President promptly accepted the
trust and there will be no German
ships ut either Manila or 1loilo to dis
turb the relations between the two
countries by forming the blse OF SEN
sational and false rumors.
1t is possible that by assuming this
responsibility the United States gov
ernment has accepted liability for any
damages that may be sustained by III,
German residents ard interests at
Manila, but II is possible that the np-
pllcation must have been granted and
responsibility assumed anyhow, as II
Is believed that Admiral Dewey and
General Otis had assured the German
commander at Manila Of their abll-
.Ity to protect every Interest In Manila.
