THE SOLDIERS REBEL
AGAINST TOTAL ABSTINENCE.
hihited at the Post and Men Can
not Buy Even Beer,


/ HAVANA, March 1.-The American
military authorities in Cuba are At
tempting To make the American soldiers
teetolarers by stopping thes ale OF beer
at post exchanges and closing the bars
tectotalers by stopping the sale OF beer
or wine 10 prlvates or non-commissioned
officers The proprletors Of such places
are fined $500 but are allowed TO reopen
after three days on giving bonds,
The private soldiers, especially the
volunteers, think It hardship when they
may not buy beer when the officers OF
their regiments are unrestricted. espe-
cially as the volunteer officers feel COM
radeship for their men and often buy
TASKS for them. As matters stand now
the American soldiers cannot get a
drink, not even beer without breaking
the law or forcing some one else ito
break IT, Nevertheless, all regulations
to the contrary Notwithstanding. they
will drink; and the present regulations
so operate that they can only get the
worst brands OF rum and brandy, sur
reptitlously brought into camp
closed In Havana. including as already
cabled. the Absu and Tacon. The for
mer was closed for keeping open after
hours the latter because its proprietor,
"a Spanlard named Gonzales, is said to
have sUd liquor to a sergeant
Gonzales. who has good reputation.
declares that at the time the alleged
offensc WIS committed the cafe tables
were crowded and about fifty people
were at the bar getting drinks, among
times the barkeeper refused to serve the
sergeant but the latter finally grasped a
glass of liquor, intended for another, an
American officer The latter, who was
watching, Immediately caused the bar
keepers arrest. This Is the explanation
Of the proprietor who appeared y ster-
day morning before the police function
aries, where he was Informed by the
Interpreter who had talked with the SER
geant. that the latter's testimony would
clear him, us the latter would recite the
facts just rs they had occurred when the
trial came on. 1t appears. however, that
the officer who had caused the arres
prevented the sergeant from testitying
as he had intended to do, and Gonzales
was fined $500 aud ordered to keep his
house closed for three days He has for
warded a written protest. with his state
ment of the transaction, to Major Gen.
eral Ludlow asking for justice.

WILL BE AT ARKANSAS CITY THURSDAY AND
 FRIDAY
A CHANCE TO SEE HER,
Governor Jones Consents to the Use of the States
 Artillery.

"The gunboat Nashville will reacE Arkansas City Thursday and remaia until Friday morning." said Judge Charles H. Haley This informar ton is definite, and we look Tor a big crowd down there to see the handsome fighting ship as she stops on her way back to the sea. Gov. ernor Jones has gran ted us permis- sion to take down some of the States artillery, and we propose to make the welkin ring with noisy demoa- stration of welcome when Caps Maynard's craft stops in froat of Arkansas City. l understand a special train will run down fron2 Little Rock and that a very low ra6t will be made for the trip. We wtE have the gunboat with us nearly two days, and l have no doubt the rail- roads will take excursionists down and bring them back the same day.
 The visit of the Nashville at Ar. kansns City will give the people of interior Arkansas, who did not gG to St. Louis, Helena or Memphis, 8 chance to see the warship from which the first gun was fired ia tda Spanish American war. Hundreds of citizens did go to one of tue points mentioned wben the boat was northward bound, but there arc thousands who didn't, and numbee of these are preparing to go to Ar kansas City to see for themselves what they have heard from the lips of many descriptiyeof of the Nashville The low stage of the Arkansas river preeludes the possibility of tue Nashville poking her nose within the hospitable environments cf Little Rock, hence visit to Arkaa- sas City is the only recourse for those who haven't seen the boat yet.

The proposition submitted by MT. Wood at the citizens meeting at the Bluff City Club hall Monday after nCon was turned over to the direc- tors of the electric light and street railway company and the conner cial leagues of this city, who will deal with the affair and decide what is best to be done. Mr. w. H. Langford, of the Citizens Bank, in a short talk before the meeting, stat ed that if the citizens of Pine Bluff wanted to act upon the proposition, and would subscribe $75, 900 toward the enterprise he would through his bauk advance $50, 900 as loan at per cent. In this way the enter prise could be carried out by home people ard home capital.

WHY WOMEN ARE NERVOUS.
British Medical News.l

The frequent cases Ofneryous pros tration or utter collapse Of the ner- vous system under which women Ego all to pieces" as the saying is, have caused much thought and in vestigation nthe part ofphysicians.
 Certain inorganic substances are we'll known to cause various forms of nervous diseases which are readi- ly traced to the poisons producing them. Further research leads to the belief that alum is prevailing cause of so-called nervous prostra ton, for the symptoms it produces on the nervous system after it's absorption into the blood are very remarkable indeed. Experiments physiological ly made upon animals by Orfila, Professors Hans Mayer, Paul Seim and others, show that alum ire quently produces no visible spmp- toms for many days after it's intro dLction into the body. Then follow loss of appetite and other alimenta- " disturbances, and finally a serious prOstration Of the whole nervous system. The most prominent phy. sicians now believe that nervous prOstration" and many affect ons of the nerves from which both men aud women suffer are caused by the con- tinued absorption of alum into the system.
 It is probable that many medical men are unaware of the extent to which salts of alumina may eintro- duced into the body, being under the impression that the use of alum in bread is prohibited. Alum, however is still used surreptitiously to some extent to whiten bread, and very largely in making cheap kinds of baking powder. In families where baking powder IS generally sdeu great care should be exercised to procure only those brands made from cream of tartar. The alum powders may generally be distin- g uished by the lower price at which they are sold.

that time explorers of the region had to haul water over a sandy road for thirty miles, which meant an outlay of $5 to s7 per barrel. Freight and ali supplies had to come from El Paso, a distance of fifty miles, and the wagon trains had to carry their water supply with them. Water is now supplied free to the camp by the railroad company and is hauled in tanks from Alamogordo.
 Two miles from Jarilla is located the celebrated DeMules turquoise mine. A. J. D9Mules was one of the early explorers of the Jarilla regions and located large number Of claims, among which was the tur- quoise mine, out of which he made a fortune. His history is both inter- esting and tragical. He was born a poor boy in Minnesota and at the early age of IT he took Horace Greely's advice and came West. For several years he herded cattle and sheep in Colorado and the West. Finally he located a number of claims in the Jarilla range of noun tains and discovered and developed as best he could with his then limit ed facilities, the turquoise mine. He hauled water 50 miles at cost of $700 per barrel. But notLing daunted him; no task was too great for him to undertake and accomp fish. Finally the railroad came along last Septem Der and then he pushed the development of his tur. quoise mine He dug over $20, 900 worth of gems out of it in less than year. He also negotiated for the sale Of 2 number of his other mining claims to the railroad company for $50 GOO, but on the morning of November 29, 1898, DeMules was shot and instantly killed in his tent by a mui derous Mexican with whom he is said to have had GisF ute over an account. He was only 36 years old at the time of his death and un- married The deal with the railroad company was crried out by his ad- ministrator, ard he left an estate of $6O, 900 in cash, the turquoise mine and large number of other minir 2 claims to be inherited by his father, aged so years, who lives with son. in-law at Waterto en, N. Y.
 The turquoise mine is now in charge of this son-in-law and brother in law to DeMules, MT. James Curren. I had the pleasure of a visit to the turquoise mine, and while I was down the shaft saw the miners dig several very fine speci- mems. The shaft is only so feet deep, but has yielded large returns. The gems taken from this mine are very fine, and New York firm is now negotiating for the entire out put. When it is remembered that there are less than half-dozen turquoise mines in the United States, something of the value of this one can be realized.
 There is also a turquoise mine at
