TEN NEGROES KILLED.
Result of Race Wars in Arkansas and
Mississippi.


Mississippi.
TEXARKANA, ARK, March ga
race war is on in Little River county,
and during the past fJrty-eight
hours an indefinite number OF ne
groes have met their death at the
hands of an infuriated white popula-
ton. Seven are known to have been
lynched, shot to death or slain in
some manner, and the work is not
yet done. The bodies of six of the
victims of the mob's vengeance are
hanging to the limbs of trees in
various parts of the county, strung
up wherever overtaken, while that
of another, who was shot to death
while trying to escape, was thrown
into creek and left there. The
county IS in state of the most ln-
tense excitement. White men are
collecting in mobs heavily armed
and determined; negroes are fleeing
for their lives and the community il
in an uproar.
Cause OF the Trouble.
The negro population is large and
has for long time proved very
troublesome to the whites. FIRE.
quent murders have occurred and
thefts and fights have become COM
mon affairs. One or two negroes
have previously been severely dealt
with when the people found it
necessary to take the law into their
own hands, but it was not until
Tuesday that the trouble took on
very serious aspect 1t then de-
veloped that carefully laid plans
had been made by number of ne
grOes to precipitate race war, and
that many white men had been
marked for victims.

A COMMITTEE from the Cuban AS
sembly reached Washington last
Tuesday. Their mission is to Sc
cure from this Government larger
appropriation than $3,000,0O0 for dis
tribution among the Cuban troops.
While they do not reject the $3,O00,-
600, they desire at least $4,000, 900
and as much more as can be OBJ
tanned. They argue that if the Gu
ban army is disbanded after the dis
tribution of but $3,000,000 which
would give to each enlisted man
about $6S, money so obtained would
be barely sufficient for them to pro-
cure clothes and return to their
homes, leaving them no margin
upon which to enter upon the peace
full pursuits of life.

THE discovery has just been
brought to the attention of officials
of the navy department, and has
aroused considerable gossip, especi-
ally among the friends of Rear Ad-
miral sampson and Rear Admiral
Schley that Congress, just before it's
adjournment, gave President Mac
Kinley authority to appoint two
Admirals of the navy instead of
limiting the grade to one, by doing
the same thing twice. 1t is safe to
say, however, that Dewey will be
the only one to wear full Admiral's
uniform for the present at least.

IMAGINATION PLAYS.
GREATEST MEDICINE FOR MIND
AND BODY.
How the Little Ones May lie Entranced
by Wise Parents Who Want to See
the Minds of the Little Ones Properly
Expanded.

There was once a mother with sew
eral children, who, being a poor wo-
man, had all her household work to do.
She often toiled far beyond her
strength, yet she was never too busy
to get up some little scheme for anus
ing the children, and, as the years
taught her experience, she devised
something at the outset of busy day,
says the Philadelphia Times. She
took half an hour to start the mimic
housekeeping in the playhouse, or she
began the building of fort and got
out the toy soldiers, or she took
stick, if the morning was in summer,
and addressed it thus: "You look like
stick, but you are really little shep-
herd boy, with long, brown hair hang
ing down your back. You are dressed
in goat skins and you have a little pipe
in your hand, on which you can play
the most beautiful tunes. Over yonder
are wild and savage mountains"
pointing to the woodpile and the hill
locks by the orchard, "but there are
no recesses in them so wild that you
do not know them. There are no
caves which you cannot find, and we
shall probably need these caves very
much, when we are chased by robbers
or by hungry wolves. Also you know
where the kind and good people live
who will give us goat milk to drink
and cakes Of brown flour to eat. Per-
haps you know the peasants hut where
the fairy princess is hidden, and may
help me to return her to her mother,
the queen, who weeps for her in a
gorgeous palace of pink glass" With
that the mother would hand over the
stout little stick she had cut to the
child, who wide-eyed and smiling,
stood waiting to receive it, and who
ran with it toward the wood pile to
begin the ascent of the mountains,
whose towering peaks were visible to
the eyes of her imagination. The
child, entranced with the story, and
at her own elaboration of it, would not
return until the hour of dinner, and
then she would come in, glowing, and
with an appetite, while the mother,
who had been without the vexatious
Interruptions Of an uneasy little girl,
was eager to greet her.

located at $50 to 166 West Madison
street, Chicago, has been established
for third of century, and has fur
nished over half a million homes in
Chicago and vicinity alone. This firm
enjoys the confidence of the public by
its many years of fair dealing. 1t is
sues an immense illustrated catalogue
that should be in every family, as it
describes and gives the price of every
article required for household use. A.
sample of the extraordinary values Of

tration of the lady's ulster in another

are indeed wonderful values, and yet
they are but sample of the thousand

AUTOCABS
Are Failures and Have Been Withdrawn
from Service in Paris.

London News: In the great strug-
gle, horse versus motor car, the horse
has scored a noteworthy victory. The
Paris motor cabs are failure. BY this
we do not mean to say that they will
not run along under mechanical pro-
pulsion, but that that mechanical pro-
pulsion is too costly. 1t is all ques-
ton Of price. If steam or electricity
costs more than horsefesh for given
amount of work then motor cars will
continue to be merely a rich mans
toy In Paris, at all events, the COM
parison comes out in favor of the
horse. Some months ago twenty-five
motor cabs were put on the ranks, and
for a time all went well. The fares
were the same necessarily as those
of the old-fashioned vehicles, and
therefore people enjoyed new sensa-
ton without, as it were, having to pay;
for it, But it soon became evident that
the drivers, or whatever they may be
called, were shy of picking up odd GUS,
toners, and it came to this, that there
was very little chance of getting one
unless one hired it by the day or half
day. Now, the company formally an
nounces that its vehicles will no longer
ply for hire on the cab ranks. The
numbers will be taken off them, and
henceforth they will be no longer
"voitures de place." but "voitures de
remise," or job carriages, which means
that considerable higher fare will be
charged, and that they cannot be had
for less than, say, half day. But the
triumph of the horse may only be tenn
porary, as it is unlikely that the en-
gineers who are striving to effect re-
duction in the cost of mechanical trac-
ton have said their last word.

A Modern Instance.

The wonderful advance made in the
science of farming during the last few
years is one of the best examples of
American progressiveness. A little
incident recounted by the Ashtabula
(Ohio) Sentinel is characteristic. One
evening, a short time ago, society in
Jefferson needed a gallon of cream.
The committee called up by telephone
the proprietors of a milk farm two
miles north of the town, and asked If
they could furnish it. The reply was
that they could as soon as milking was
done. In thirty minutes from the time
the call was made, the cream was de-
livered. The milk had been drawn
from the COW, put into separator, the
cream extracted and sent to town by a
man on a bicycle. A few years ago the
committee would have had to send a
boy in the afternoon, yesterdays
milk" would have had to be skinned,
and If the boy had not freed too many
on the way, he might have
got back in time for the festival.
