A Letter From the j. s. SubSiS-
tGnco Officer Here.
IN REPLY TO ALLEN HERBERT
Situation as Capt. Lydig Observes
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

| L. s. Subsistence Department, Homo
! lulu, H. l., U. S. A, April p, 1899.
Allen Herbert, Commissioner OF Agri-
! culture, Present
| My Dear Sir:-Referring TO your re-
quest to be informed in regard to my
efforts to obtain in this market vege-
| tables for the use OF the L. S. Army,
and my opinion as TO the possibility OF
| producing such vegetables on the
Islands, would say:
Immediately upon assuming the
duties of my Office at this station in
August last, being the first, and up to
the present time, the only officer as
signed to the duty, 4 made efforts
which have been repeated from time to
time to obtain native potatoes, onions
| and cabbage, in fact fresh vegetables
| of all kinds In no case, however,
| have my efforts met with any appre-
ciable success. Potatoes, onions, cab
| bages and other small vegetables are
cultivated to a limited extent on all
the Islands that / have visited; but
owing to the fact that the sugar indus
| try has Overshadowed all others, their
cultivation and production is almost
lwholly in the hands of Cinnamon.
| None of them appear to be of as good
quality as are imported from the main
land, and the quantity has never been
equal to the demands of local planta-
Itions, both the Army and the citizens
Irelying principally upon the importa-
ltiOns.
From what I have seen, however, /
believe there are many localities and
Iplenty of available space, where they
might be successfully cultivated, and it
is possible, too, that with better seed
the grades would be greatly improved
and that with Government encourage
ment a class of market gardeners might
be induced to settle here and cultivate
lthOSe tracts of land not otherwise en-
lployed, and suitable for the purpose
At the same time I should note that
my attention has been called to the fact
that several large land owners on
islands adjacent to this, have tried the
lcultivation of vegetables for this mar
ket, but, owing to what, they claim
are extortionate rates of transporta-
ton, by steamers plying between the
islands they have been unable to make
1.-THE experiment a success.
l am, my dear sir, very respectfully
lyour obedient servant

MILWAUKEE PATENT PUNCTURE-
PROOF TIRE CO., Milwaukee, Wis.
Gentlemen:-W are in receipt Of
your favor asking what success we are
having with your tires. AS far as we
have seen them used, we cannot say
too much in their behalf, and think we
can truly say they fill long felt want.
We have never had one punctured, nor
expect to meet with any such accident.
A rider whom we sold the first pair TO
was in the other day and said: TAKE
YOUR OLD TIRES. HAVE A TACK
IN MY REAR WHEEL" We immed-
lately examined the tack and removed
same from the tire, which proved to
have penetrated only through the rub
Der, and then turned back as if struck
with a hammer, simply clinched. No
other tire that we have ever sold would
have stood this test. The only reason
we can see for not handling and try
ing to sell to all Of our riders, is, as
our puncture-boy says, Il am afraid l
will lose my job if this keeps up"
Wishing you success and assuring you
of our support, we remain,
Very truly,

LIKES THE AMERICAN
 COMPLAINTS PRESS.
An Arkansss Firm Used It Last
 Season With Great Satisfaction.

From the Commercial Appeal, Memphis
 Tenn.
 4. J. Clements, of the firm of Clem- ents & Daniel, cotton ginners of Lonoke, Ark, was in the city yester- day. Nr. Clements was seen by a Commercial Appeal representa- tivein the office of the American Cotton Company, in the Continental build ing, and he talked very enthusiastic allya of that eompanY's Roundlap bale press, which he has been opera ting at his gin the past season. He compressed about 1000 bales on his Ronndlap bale press, and the cot ton was all sold ar the press at Mem phis price. Mir. Clements says that a Roundlap bale from the American Company 's press will net from $2.50 to $3 % more than from the old press.
 In fact, farmer a few months ago,made a test of the matter, bring ing the exact number of pounds of the same quality to Mir. Clements that he did to a square bale press, without letting either gin know he was making the test. and the Round lap bale netted just $3 D more than the square bale.
 Mir. Clements says that one season has satisfied him of the merits of the American Company 5 Roundlap bale press. tls 3 good thing he says, both for the ginner and the frrmer, and his firm will continue its use and abandon it's other press entirely.

E. Gold smith (Pine Bluf), and Mrs. A. Katzensteln, mother of the bride. They took their places before the rabbi, who in the impressive Jewish marriage ceremony pronounced the couple man and wife. The bridal party then adjourned to the par lors and received the hearty con- gratulations and best wishes of their friends. Later wedding supper was served in the dining parlors below by Caterer Bott. Meanwhile the ball was cleared of chairs and dancing was indulged in until midnight, when the bridal couple departed to take the o'clock Iron Maintain train for the East. They will be at home in Pine Bluff after October U.

A BIC LAW SUIT. DOVER ASSIGNMENT AP. FLIED FOR BY KATE
 TOWNSEND. WIDOW OF JOE TOWNSEND Estate Valued at s5o,ooo- No Direct Heirs-She is Entitled
 To One-Half.
WIDOW OF JOE TOWNSEND

An application to have dover as- signed ir the case of Katie Town send against W. J. Terry, admins trator of the estate of Joe Townsend, deceased, Celia w. Blanche, Billie Miles and Tessie Friedman and K. c. Thompson, Geraldlan, and Sa rah Townsend has been filed in the chancery court of Pulaski coun ty, Little Rock, Ark. The estate is worth at least $50, 900. %.
 She, is in the absence of Q direct heir, is entitled to one-half of the estate in fee simple, as dover If an heir had survived Townsend's death she wonld be entitled to one- third under the law as dover.
 The application to have dover as- signed is very interesting. In her application she sets out the state ment that they were married in Jefferson county, according to the forms prescribed by common law, on the 25th, day of December 1897.
 Five collateral heirs survive Townsend, four of whom are minors.
 Townsend. prior to bis death, came into the possessionIof an.estate of inheritance, the same being a new acquisition. The form of his wealth was real estate situated in the county of Pulakl, this State. The lands are now Hand marks" of Little Rock. The property is Hot two, block eleven, Centennial addi. tion t9 the city of Little Rock, Arkansas, and also Ithe south half of lot five of the 1000 acre grant to the State of AikaLsas by the United States under patent dated NoYemb Der 2nd, 1883, containing 39 acres of land more or less; also the northwest quarter of the northwest quarter of section 12 that lies east of the right-of-wsy of the Little Rock, Mississippi & Texas Railway, but now the St. Louis Iron Noun tain & Southern Railway Company, contalnining 29 and P 100 acres of land, all in township one, north range 12 west and known as the Fair Grounds.
 There is mortgage filed against the above described real estate, the priority of same however is ques- tioned as taking no precedent over her right as dover.
 Joe Townsend will be remenn bered by the people of Pine Bluff as the stalwart, able bodied man who was connected in the saloon business here when he first came to the city with Jim Portis; they having the old Board of Trade stand. Joe was good, genial fellow notwithstand- ing his love for gambling-the habit and fault of many a good man.
 Joe was out of business during the latter part of '98 and oegining of the year 1899. While roaming around Pine Bluff he was the re- ceiver of financial good news. He was left a fortune. Joe commenced to spend it right and left His love for gambling increased, Pine Bluff got too small for him and he left. He, however, did not mend his way, for on the 9th day of March 1899 he was shot and killed on the corner of Markham and Main streets in Little Rock. He left his fortune and Kate Townsend, now seeksiwhat is due her of bis estate as his wife during and up to the time of his untimely de- mise.
