 STAINS GOOD AND BAD BARGAIN.

The demand of the Filippino rebels for S7 100000 from Spain for the ransom of q few score Spanish prisoners looks like mark ing up the price on the Spaniards, especially when we remember that according to Speaker Reed, Spain sold us "10, 900, 900 yellow bellies at S2 q piece" But it must De borne in mind that the Filippi- nos are able to deliver over their prisoners if thc ransom is paid, whereas Spain does not seem to have been able to deliver over the yellow bellies, and their is no telling how much it is going to cost us before we catch them.

 "Judging from the looks of the hills around town one would nat urally thInk that this would be a very poor farming country but when I saw the products at the park pavilion 1 had to confess that thls county can produce equal if not more, than my home county besides the products are so much finer quality than ours."
 Again this party said: ''Surely the business men of Mena are full of enterprise. This celebration will do great work for Mena."

A terrible fight occurred in the streets of Paris last Sunday be- tween anarchists and socialists and the police. The rioters attacked churches and destroyed sacred property. It is reported that 380 persons were injured and many arrests made. It begins to look as though revolution in France cannot be averted. The Dreyfus trial is the cause of the trouble in that Republic.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 21.-The Detro;. mem bers of the Michigan Bankers as sociation state there is a widespra.a misapprehension among newspapers and financial writers concerning tha object of the conference of clearinc houses called for September 3, in Clevel land. The conference was called h., the Michigan bankers because, as tbey said, they were tired of waiting for others to take the initiative. The oh feet is not to antagonize New York or to use the machinery of the National Bankers association, the conference being called at the same time and nlaco as matter of convenience. Presiden, Hayes, of the Preston national bank ot Detroit, explaining the scheme. said.
 It is desired to bring all the clearing houees together for conference with the hope ina, they will amend their constitution so as tn oivo the same power to the respective clearing house committees that the New York aud Detroit committees now have. When the assocations in the principal cities shall have taken smilar action to that of New York. there will he a uniformity of charge in each state to banbs in that state, which will permit the organiza. tion of state clearing house associations which can never be established until par points ara abolished. When state clearing houses are established, charges for collections can be ma. terfally reduced and in the end another reduc. tion can be made by establishing nominal clearing house.

who put $4,000 in the plant as an in
ducement for it to locate here and who
have ben sore over seeing the plant lie
idle two-thirds of the time through
Acknowledgement and incompetency.
With inexhaustible beds of fine clay
lying under and all around our city, it
is strange that capital has not sooner
developed this rich and certain source
of profit. Specimens of clay found here
have been sent to various potteries in
Ohio, Illinois and other eastern points,
and found to be of superior quality and
suitable for the manufacture of sewer
pipe, drain tile, fire and building brick,
all kinds of stone ware, including dish
es. and especially adapted for paving
brick, chimney Innings and all kinds of
drain tile, sewer pipe. and brick. A SUI
perior quality of fine sand is found
here which experts have pronounced
suitable for the manufacture of glass
ware. What is needed is men who I'M
derstand the manufacture of these
products and who have capital to erect
same. Our business men stand to-
gether and will give substantial aid and
encouragement to all such seeking a To-
cation. The brick and tile plants we
now have are inadequate to fill one
third the demands for brick and tile,
and the demand would be greater if or
ders could be filed.

structures, well arranged in extensive
grounds. The rooms are of good size,
we'll lighted, comfortably furnished,
and very clean. There are family quar-
tiers where a man and wife are fur
nished one lone room. The single men
and women are provided for in separate
buildings. In the buildings for men
from six to ten only occupy one room.
In each ward there Is one room for
games and writing and another for
smoking. The inmates are allowed the
freedom Of the grounds. The hospital
department and the department for the
feeble minded are each in seperate
buildings. The sick are given the best
of care and attention. The food is pre-
pared in a building especially devoted
to the purpose and considering the
great quantity required is of most ex-
cellent quality. The vegetables used are
largely grown upon the land of the in
stitution and to considerable extent
the labor is performed by inmates. One
feature which is deserving of especial
mention is the hall where entertain
ments are given and the chapel where
on each Sabbath religious services are
held. The institution has capacity Of
LOO and at the time of my visit had
1000 people. The net expense OF this
institution to the city in 1895 was $780,
800. AS the superintendent could not
speak English i was unable to talk
with him as desired. He said Il cam
not understand Chicago English SO we'll
as London English" This was a new
distinction to me, but 1t shows how the
European is coming to think that Chi
cago is the center of America. A man
may know the name of no state bat
mention Chicago to him and he UNDER
stands. He locates the states with
reference to Chicago. l found the Danes
not very anxious to be of service, but
where one was able to speak English
found him proud of the ability and
willing to go to considerable trouble
perhaps not so much for the sake OF
being obliging as to display his ability
in English. Thus young man who
had been of considerable assistance in
directing me, upon my thanking him
said, II am very glad to be able to
speak English" The following day /
met him again. He took off his hat, the
custom when one man. recognizes an
other upon the street, and said. did
you find the place? am very glad to
have spoken English" An Englishman
or American would have said that he
was glad to have been of service.
