GOLD FOUND 
While Digging 8 Well on Dr. Sher.
 rill3s Place at sherrill.

Gold, yes sure enough, gold has been found in Jefferson county.
 An old negro man discovered it while digging a well On Dr. A. R. Sherrill's place at Sherrill. In digging the well, the old negro came to layer of sand probably a foot in depth. He continued his work and as each shovel full of the dirt was being thrown out of the well he noticed a glittering yellow substance. He gathered up a small amount oi the stuff and placing it in a bottle, carried it to Dr. Sher- Till. The subs tance was tested with acids of every description, Ibut it could not be made to change its color. A number of experienced miners have pronounced it to be genuine gold and Dr. Sherrill Is rejoicing over his fnd. He will work the place and it is more than likely will find other valuable places on his property,
 Several other farmers and resi- dents have began digging for the metal. The gold craze has fairly captured Sherrill and so enthusiag- tic was one "gold bug" that he bad his house moved and is digging up bis yard.

THE BODY OF B. Nj. M'BROOM LAID TO REST SUNDAY
 AFTERNOON.
SOLEMN AND IMPRESSIVE
The Firemen, Dewey Drill Corps and Telephone Linemen Took a
 Part,

The funeral of the late Maud Mc- Broom took place yesterday after noon and the remains of tho soldier hrenan now peacefully repose in the National cemetery, where sleep so many heroes of the country, says Mondays Fort Smith News-Record.
 At three o'clock yesterday after noon the friends of the dead boy took last look upon the features of the:rone- time comrade and all time friend, at the Lome where be was sthe delight of the household and the idol of mothers heart.
 A short service was conducad q by the Rev. Frank Cole, of Browns combe church, and tben tLe cortege went its way to the National cems- tery where the sad rites were to be performed, and the casket shut of from the view of all.
 The Third Regiment Band preced- ed the procession, followed by Gan naway Hose ComTa any No. 2 with reel. Then came the drum corps, Lade up of grizzled veterans piping the death march as they had Iiped it in times of furious war. The Deiser Hook and Ladder Company with truck came next, and then the hea.

The Dewey Drill Corps of the Wood men of the World, in regulation sai.o- uniform and with folded arms paced to the measured rythm of the dead march, and were followed by a number of telephone linemen, who carriedSon their shoulders the signs of the8r calling.
 At the grave the services were sofemnly impressive. There was prayer by the Rev. Cole and chant Ting by the Brownseombe church choir and dlrges by the band, while two sturdy regroes closed up the gap into which the coffin had been lowered and covered with a padded board that the falling of the dirt might not sound further misery into the hearts of those already bursting with grief.
 When out of the grave there had grown mound, there was rattle of musketry and then all was done that loving humanity could do to express it's friendship aud it's sor- row and it's sense of the greas loss which had so suddenly fallen upon it.

One of the delights of an Ameri- cano-Mexico city, like El Paso, is it's public park or plaza. It is a custom borrowed from Mexico where B plaza forms the center of every city or town in our sister Re- public. There a band, paid by the government, discourses the sweet est music on Sunday afternoons and at least one evening during the week. These are made gala events for the classes of every degree. The gay Senors with their fair Senoritas promenade around the square with measured tread 10 tbe soft, sweet strains of the military band. In fact, all society turns out in full and elaborate dress and the scene is oft brilliant one. The children, too, play in joyous glee around the band stand or on the outskirts of the inside prom enade, while the peon, standing on the outside or third walk, looks sullenly on the brilliant spectacle. But it is pleasant pastime for all, and it is gratifying that at least few of our Southern cities are following the Mexican custom. Last Monday evening Dewey day. was cele, brated by band concert in the Fl Paso park, and the park was crowd ed. Children gathered soon after school let out for the occasion, and the exhuberance of the young American youth and the joy de plcted in the faces of the bright little maidens as they went about their play, made happy the hearts of all who witnessed it. If the bere fits and enjoyment of public park were eyer demonstrated, t was on that occasion. My thoughts i'm mediately reverted to Pine Bluff and 1 thought what joy and con- fort a public park would be to the children and grown up folks of that town. In due time the band concert began and patriotic airs were dis. coursed. A listening and enthus- iastie multitude responded with aP- plause. "Old Glory" waved from a tall flag pole in the park, and can non boomed from a near. by Federal fort. It was a very pleasant and happy celebration, but how would the day have been celebrated if El Paso had uo park? How was the most marvellous victory in naval warfare and history celebrated in Pine Bluff

 Languor, loss of appetite, indigts- ton and often fegerishness are tue common symptoms of a physiolog ical condition termed malaria All these symptoms may be and fre- quentlY are the effect of the use of alum baking powders in food mak iDg. There is no Questlon about the poisonous effect of alum upon the system. Itobstructs digestion, ,Dros- trates the nerves. coagulates and devitalizes the blood. All this has been made clear, thanks to physi- clans, boards of health, and food commissions. So highly injurious to the health of the community" does the eminent head of the University O. Pennsylvania, Dr. Parker. consider. the alum baking powders. that he says "their sale should be prohibited by law"
 Under these circumstances it is worth the while of every housewife to employ the very little care that is necessary to keep so dangerous an element from the food of her family.
 A pure cream of tartar baking powder, which is the only kind that should be used, ought to cost abont forty.five to fifty cents pound. Therefore. if you are paving much less, something is wrong; if you are paving twenty tive cents or less per pound, the powder is certainly made from alum.

Oaxaca, Mexico Aug THE rebellious
Maya Indians in the state of Yucatan are
giving the Mexican government as much
concern just now as the Yaqui Indians up
rising in the mountains of the state of So
nora TIE Maya tribe inhabit one of the
richest agricultural districts OF YucataG.
They have never recognized the authority
OF the Mexican government and have waged
a constant warfare against all who at
tempted to encroach upon their territory
during the past two hundred years. This
first attempt TO conquer them was made IL
1921 when a large force Of Spanish troops
was sent against Them The latter were
quickly defeated. In 1S49 another large
expedition was sent against these Indians
and it also met with defeat. Another un-
successful effort was made to subdue the
Mayas in 1851, force d several thousand
men being sent against them. The In
dams since then have lived at peace with
the authorities until few years ago, when
they made attacks on a number of Mexican
settlers who had located within the con-
fines of their territory These settlers
were murdered and their property conlls-
Gated by the rhdES linus hS1s =
bsen made on innocent settlers since then.
The Mexican government began making
preparations several months ago for a
campaign of determination against thH
tribe. The campaign is now about ready
10 open.
The details OF the campaign have been
formulated by President Porforio Diaz and
he has directed his intimate personal
friend and military adviser, Brig Gen Or
tiz Mcnasterio 10 take charge OF the mill
tary movements. General Monasterio is
now on his way TO Belize TO join the in
yading forces Over 5000 soldiers and ten
small gunboats are being massed on the
Indian frontier. The gunboats are being
sent up the rivers Hondo and Belize The
concerted attack ON the Indians Will be-
gin the latter part Of this month.
The Mayas are well aware of the gi-
gantic military movement that is being
prepared against them and they are not
Idle. 1t is reported that they are well
armed and equipped for another desperate
resistance. Their total fighting force
numbers over 5000 men. The government
is establishing a base Of supplies on Cozu-
MEL Island for the campaign.

Newport News. Va, Aug IA fire
which started as a result of leak in a
gasoline range in the saloon Of j. D.

burned five frame buildings on Queen
Street. in the business section of the town.
The loss TO stock and buildings is esti-
mated at about S10.Gc0. With the excep-
ton of $500 carried on the stock and tx-
lures of R. r. Woods saloon, there was
no insurance on the goods OF any OF the
occupants of the buildings burned The
property was owned by the Bank OF Hamp-
ton. and the amount of insurance has not
vet been learned. On account OF the
scarcity of water in the reservoir which
furnishes Newport News and Hampton,
the firemen were greatly hampered IN their
efforts to check the confagration, being
unable to use the water plugs at all They
were forced to pump water from the river
to fight the fire. The houses destroyed were
