KELLEY COMMENDED
Chaplain Stringfellow Gives His Obser,
walton of Its Work.
Camp Columbia, Cuba,
March 18th. 1899.
To the Public:

To the Public:
After more than two years of observa-
ton, the writer has become more and
more convinced of the saving power of
the Kelley Cure. He has seen dismal
failures, but he has seen so many cures,
that he stands ready at all times and at
all places to advocate the cause of the
Kelley cure.
In this regiment there are men who
have been cured of inebriety through a
letter which the writer sent out about
ten years ago, in which he advised suf-
ferers from the disease of inebriety to
try the Kelley cure and they were
cured. They have stood the test of time
and worse still the test of an idle army
life. There are Kelley graduates in this
regiment both among the officers and
privates. They have splendid records
have found several of them, however,
not only in the guard house, but great
enemies to the Kelley treatment Some
with whom [ have talked have told m
that they, drank secretly while being
treated, and that they were not anxious
to be free from the liquor habit. They
went to please some friends or relatives
or to get well enough to begin another
IL.
1t is my strong conviction that if any
man sees the sinfulness of drunkenness
and goes in prayerful spirit to Col
Osborne's Kelley Institute in Green's
boro, N. c., he can and will come away
sober man, and if he wishes so, can
stay sober. The writer has no pecun-
larry interest to advance in writing this
article; he only seeks the good of the
public. He is so much interested in the
matter that about a year ago be visited
the Greensboro Institute examined the
grounds, buildings. records of work
dome and made an inspection of The whole
enterprise. He is glad that after an ex-
animation, he can say to the world that
his confidence in the cure" is increas-
ing all the time, that the 'Keeley Home
is wonderful success; that Col. Os-
born, himself a Kelley graduate, is the
man for his place and that he gladly en-
dorses this institution to those who need
help in getting rid of terrible disease.
l have examined the regimental record
and find that most of the guarl-house
cases come from drink. The Kelley
man seems safer in the hour of trial and
temptation than those who have never
known the evils of intemperance.
l must confess that the back-slidden
Keeleyites do not exceed in proportion
the back-slidden Christians. 1t is fire.
quently the case that the same man is
a back-slider in religion because Of the
evil of drink and the failure in one eff
fort prepares for the failure in the
other.
While inspecting the books at the
Greensboro Institute, it was discovered
that seven out of ten men who took the
treatment had been members of the
church, and had fallen through strong
drink. Those mepkwere moved to at
tend the Institute ifom religious convic-
tions-men of that, class are always
cured. 1t was found on examination that
2,4O0 men had been under treatment at
Greensboro N. c., and 1900 had been
cured. None were cured who drank
secretly while in the Institute. There
is q certain test by (which the doctor

and only those who have watched closely the railroad news can we'll appreciate the extent of the growth of the system. At the present time 1t has 1 400 miles of track, and is made up of the Kan sas City, Pittsburg & Gulf, the Kansas City X Northern Connect ing, the Omaha & St. Louis, the Omaha, Kansas City & Eastern and the Quincy, Omaha x Kansas City roads. The next project of the company is said to be to se- cure an entrance to Chicago. When the officials are asked of the intentions of the road in this matter, they simply decline to discuss the report, but reply to such queries much as did General Manager Robert Gillham wait and see.
 Few cities on the line,,of this railroad are more vitally interest ed in its growth than Mena. The Pittsburg & Gulf made cur city a possibility in the beginning, has assisted and contributed to its constant growth, and the company officials refer with pride to Mena as ''the best new city on the line"
 Many changes have been made in recent months tending toward increasing the importance of Mena as the central division point, and as the road grows in size and in prosperity these advantages will be increased many fold.
 Among these was the locating of the Maintenance, Building and Bridge departments, under charge of A. F. Rust as engineer main tenance of way and his assistants, and J. B. McMahon as superin-

around, and as the chief city in Southwestern Arkansas will soon become very active wholesale and distributing point. Thus, aside from the direct benefits derived from the increased business and population secured as the central division point of one of the great est railway systems of the United States, Mena will also reap the benefits of an increased commer- cial activity by being connected directly with a large number of the best manufacturing cities i'll the United States.
 Illustrating these points we are enabled to report from figures officially furnished that the aver age amount of business transacted by the road at this place is S1O,- 900 monthly, and, as above stated, the disbursements for wages amount to 17, 500 a month.
 The receipts of merchandise and produce at this point average: For flour, feed and grain, sixty five cars; beer and ice, five cars; coal, ninety-tive cars; timber and lumber, seventy cars; meats, etc., three cars; wagons and machin- cry, two cars; local merchandise, five cars. The shipments out average per month: Cotton, 1S0 cars; lumber and timber, ninety cars; cattle, seven cars; flour and grain, twenty cars; local merchant disc, four cars. E
 In this connection we present below a list of the departments operated here together with the names of the managers or chiefs and their assistants as follows:

 The great increase in the fields in the North to which the Port Arthur Route has secured en- trance, and to which it will yet reach increases equally the oppor- tunities of this part of our state to send to the markets o f the North and East the many products in which Arkansas is so rich, and in exchange receive the goods and outputs of factories needed here.
