A CONFERENCE PROBABLE.
1t is reported that J. II. Hofmeyer-
the Afrikander leader, has telegraphed
President Kruger that he cannot expect
help from the Cape Colony in the event
of hostilities.
The excitement in Cape Town is at
fever heat. Every edition of the papers
is eagerly snapped up, the general feel
ing being that war is not far distant.
1t is impossible, however, TO Ignore
the existence of sharp divisions among
the colonists for and against the Trans
yaal.
The latest information is that, owing
to the pressure brought to bear by lead
ing Afrikanders here, the Transvaal
Government will probably agree to the
proposed conference.

In MemOFiam

Sarah E. Lahue was born in Knox
county, Ind Ga years and one month
before she departed this life from her
home in Harrison, Ark, at 9 O'Clock
and 20 minutes on the evening OF
Sept. %, 1899. She was faithful in
all the relations of life Had been a
consistent member of the Methodist
church for many years. She enjoyed
perfect soul rest through her long
sickness, and reioiced in saving grace
during the last weary suffering days
of THISTLE
We now think of her as being at
rest with God. We think of the glad
meeting she is having in the far
away home of the soul, and the glad
meetings that awaits her, when
these who look after her assembled
spirit, and mourn their loss, shall in
turn, reach their eternal home to live
with her where sickness, sorrow,
pain and death are felt and feared no
more
We shall miss her, but we shall see
her again. Most of all will the
man, whose strong support she has
been for near half a century miss her,
but he knows where to find her, and
it will not be long. Peace to her
ashes, and grace for him is our bene-
diction.

THOUGH the Treasury Department
has been made aware that there is a
growing protest from business men
against the annoyances and burdens
of the stamp taxes, there is a pros
peet that these will be increased
rather than diminished. Frequent
comparisons are made by the bust
ness men of the manner in which
they are taxed, as compared with
the evasion of taxes by the express
and telegraph. Senator Harris, of
Kansas, who was in Washington re-
Gently in commenting on the War
Revenue Act, stated that nearly ev-
cry Senator who voted for the law
understood that the express compa-
MES were to pay the tax charged on
packages, and not the shipper. These
great corporations, however, were
strong enough to get decisions from
the Treasury Department that the
customer must see to it that the
stamp is affixed.

Upon the principle of answering a
fool according to his folly, this is the
answer of the TIMES to the Yellville
Echo, upon the subject of the Silver
Hollow mine.
First. While the Echo is the local
mineral authority for Yellville, the
TIMES is the mineral authority for
the zinc field in general Second:
While it is possible that the Echo. or
its editor is not absolutely sure OF
it's locality, it's buttons to beans
that no reader of the TIMES, native
or outsider, is ignorant of the fact
that the Silver Hollow mine is stu
ated in Marion county. Third:
Having in view the benefit of the
zinc field in general the TIMES pub
/ fishes each week more original and
reliable Marion county mining news,
of general interest to the public, than
the Echo publishes in the course of a
months time This is in reply to
the Echo's question.
OF the spirit which prompted its
break only few words will be nee
essary to dispose of the matter. 1t
has been apparent for some months
that if the Echo does not terminate
its plan of advertising Marion coun-
ty defensively, strangers will Judge
that the system of cracks at other
parts of the mineral field is only an
other way OF begging the question
Of the mineral resources, which
would be an injustice for which the
Echo alone would be responsible.
The principle by which strangers
will Judge the situation is simply
that of everyday life, in which it
goes without the saying that it is a
shiftless community at best which is
always finding fault with its neigh
bors.

The Republican organs seem to
have received tip from some high
authority to declare in concert that
the Declaration of Independence is
out Of date and that when Jefferson
wrote about the consent of the
governed he was talking through
his hat. AS the Republicans are now
engaged in trying to subdue what
they call rebelious colonies, it is no
wonder that their sentiments are so
similar to those OF George III.

ONE OF the things that the near
future will bring, is an Isthmian ca
nal to unite the waters of the Allan
tic and the Pacific. The mooted
question has been and is where and
by whom shall the canal be dug.
The question is likely to occupy a
prominent place in the debates in
Congress this winter, though it is
probable that the Administration
would prefer that no definite course
of action should be adopted until af-
ter next years elections. The osten-
sible reason alleged will be that the
Commission appointed to consider
the subject cannot complete its re-
port i'll time.

The Times 10 Visit Joplin.

hV linus u flott uupilHs
Col, DeMalher, who is in charge of
the TIMES Special Exploring Expedi-
ton, leaves next week for Joplin,
Mo, his visit to be Is to 20 days in
length,
The visit Of the TIMRs. in the per-
son of the man best posted upon the
zine resources of this state, is for the
purpose of cultivating freer and more
cordial relations between the Mis-
souri,Kansas and Arkansas zinc
fields. There are too many mutual
interests at stake not to make an eff
fort in that direction. And as be-
ginning is to be made if any good is
to be done, the initiative of the TIMES
has been entrusted to one whose dis
interestedness in the premises cannot
be questioned.
Several considerations have moved
the TIMES to its present step. 1t is
true that at the present stage of the
game Arkansas can do but little
harm to the Joplin country, while
the Joplin country can, for the time
being, becloud the public mind upon
the subject of our zinc field. But it
is to be remembered that having
been nagged to the point of despera-
tion Arkansas miners and prospect
ors have turned the tables, with the
result that they no longer beg the
question of ore in this state being
present in quantity.
The change Of front, which for sui
ticient reason the public has second
ed by liberal investments in mineral
lands, is not all 1t is also certain
that outlet is to be shortly afforded
to the Arkansas mines, and therefore
the best course to follow is to pull
together instead of pulling apart.
There is nothing to gain either from
misunderstanding and misrepresent-
alton which has been encouraged on
the one hand, or from the deep re-
sentiment which is felt on the other
hand. And in consequence if there is
room enough left bet ween the two for
the peace maker to get in his work
the TINES has indeed found the man
fitted by nature and education, to
discharge such a trust.
The TIMES bespeaks for it's repre-
sentative, Col. DeMalher, the courte-
sizes of the press in the Missouri-Kan-
sas zinc field. The gentleman is a
pioneer promoter of southern indus
tries, and in this state has led in the
discoveries of coal and zinc. He is
disinterested authority, and his cap
ability and reliability are shown in
the fact that the present years zinc
history of the state turned wholly
upon Col DeMalher's determination
in the premises. Though an octoge-
marian in years he is in body and
mind as fresh as a man of fifty. The
TIMES is confident of the best results
from the visit to the Joplin country,
of the one man of all others in this
state who has proven himself the
best friend of our Arkansas miners.

What Company I Is Doing.

Mrs. W. w. Funge received, with the
last mail, two very interesting letters
from her boys in Company I, First Cali
fornia Volunteers. The stories of the bat
ties in which this company was engaged
are very interesting, though not alto
gether new, as they have already been
flashed across by cable. Company 1 was,
at the time the letters were written, do
ing interior guard duty, although it was
kept busy for five days and nights with
hardly a moments rest on the trail of
ambushed Filipinos. The men are suffer
ing terribly from the heat, and in one en-
gagement thirteen men dropped in ten
minutes from sunstroke 1t has suffered
very little, however, from Filipino bullets,
so little, in fact, that after one engage
ment where the bullets were falling like
hail, only one man was killed, and 1t has
since been christened the "bullet-proof
company" Its members are anxious to
come back home, but are not grumbling
so long as there is fighting to be done
The boys apparently enjoy the fighting
thoroughly. but the weather inf1icts great
hardships upon them, and the food is not
always of the very best.
