with the approach of the state con-
vention Of firemen, improvements in
the quarters Of the various COMPANIES
are apparent, and the changes at the
Franklin engine house are worthy of
note. The improvements are not en-
tirely for the benefit of the visitors
but have been needed for a long time
Three stalls have been in use for the
horses, but by the addition of another
animal, another stall has been made
necessary.
The stairway at the left Of the stalls
has been removed and a new stall
erected, and the stairs placed in the
center of the building. where a brick
wall formerly stood. The feed room,
formerly occupied the space where the
stairs now are, and the supplies will
be kept on the second floor. where the
old stair landing was. Chutes will be
erected for carrying the feed down to
the stable, and a new passage way has
been made into the stall alongside the
stairway.
The change is decided Improvement
end will facilitate the work of the per-
manent men in responding to an alarm.
The sliding pole stands in the rear tf
the hose wagon stand, and will not be
interfered with, as the occupant of the
new stall can pass along the side of the
wagon without any inconvenience.
The carpenter work is being done by
John Benores men ad the painting and
paper hanging on the second floor is be-
ing done by Frank Johnson. The lat
ter work is being done in the assembly
room, where the socoial sessions of the
company are held. The company held
a meeting last evening and decided
upon the companies to be entertained
during the convention.
The fourth horse is expected today
and Permanent Men Lowry and Kline
will be engaged in breaking him into
service. The American Fire Engine
having the contract for remodellng the
steamer, have asked for an extension of
ten days time to complete the work,
but Chief Walker has refused their re-
quest and directed them to have the
steamer ready by October 4.
The Franklins will keep open house
all next week, and the visitors may ex-
pect a royal reception when they cr-
rive.

USEFUL. FARM NOTES.

Texas Farm and Ranch.
 It requires less capital and time to get good start in goat, sheep and hog raising than 1t does for cattle, and if properly managed they will soon furnish capital to add the cattle to the farm.
 The tight check rein IS not only cruel but assininc in its idiotic simplicity. It is used to make the horse more showy, whereas 1t makes him look worse, from the strained and unnatural position of the head, and intelferes with the freedom of his movements and the grace of his carriage. There ought to be q law everywhere en- forced, by the operation of which every offender would be made to pay substantial fine for this of- fense.
 Goats can be raised with less cost than any other stock, their flesh IS preferred to mutton by most people who have tested it, but they are sometimes a nuisance on farm from their habit of climb ing fences, sheds, leaning trees, or anything that can be ascended without grasping, or by the use of claws. Goats should be kept on open range, or under wire fences. Angora goats are prof. table for their mohair, and will do we'll and multiply anywhere, but best in hilly or broken country. This country imports S15, ,000,0 ,000. worth of goat skins annually. The leather is largely used in making kangaroo shoes, kid shoes and boots, sweat bands, pocket books, dude belts, etc. This country should supply thls stock, for goats can be raised as cheaply here as anywhere.

THE GOOD ROADS PROBLEM.

Referring to the fact that men who have been Investigating the matter assert that the horseless carriage, or automobile can be made to do good service hauling freight where good roads exist, the Arkansas Gazette says:
 The automobile may ye. succeed in solving a great problem--the road prob lem. If these horseless carriages can be used successfully in transporting freight from railway stations to points that have no railway connection, it will not be long before every country in every state in the Union will be pro- vded with the best highways Tn the world and the improvement will be made al the expense of the companies operating the automobile systems.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

From the Kansas City Star.
 The wave of street car strikes will serve to encourage public ownership Brooklyn is the greatest place for troll leys this side of Buda-Pesth. They are everywhere, and one can get car to anywhere by walking block or two from any doorsteepiD the place. Still, they cannot carry all the travel and there are two l. road systems, one in the eastern district, or Williamsburg, and the other in old Brooklyn at the bridge. An interruption of the car ser vice by strike is a most serious and costly annoyance to the public. With both surface and l. roads shut down. many Brooklynites will have to walk as much as five to ten miles or stay downtown Tn hotels. Hence, if the trolley companies are at fault. they are fl t objects of public indignation, or. if the men are unreasonable, they inflict untold trouble upon the public These trolley strikes are an argument in favor municipal ownership which would do away with this interference with public comfort and convenience, not to say public rights.
 The logic of events is proving that municipal ownership of all public utilities is the only remedy for the discontent existing.

LOSSES IN TEXAS, SIS, 900, ,ooo.

fUnlcss the season should be an extraordinarily long one in the flooded district of Texas" said a man from Northern Texas the other day, ''there is no reason to hope that another cotton crop can be grown and matured oD the sub- merged land of the Brazos valley. The frost would prevent anything
 like full crop planted at this late day. Some things, however, will mature yet, and peas, turnips sor- ohum, kaffir corn and the like will be put in the ground as soon as the waters recede sufficiently to allow planting. The very lowest estimate have seen, and l regard it as far too low, puts the destruc- ton of cotton at 800, ,000 bales. At 4 cents per pound this would mean the loss of S6,00,000. But the loss from this sourse cannot be over one-third the total wiping out of values by the great food. and so it is safe to say that Texas is, at a conservative estimate. SIS, 100000 worse off by reason of the inundation."

Judge Kelly noves to Arkansas.

Judge John $. Kelly arrived Satur- day from Windsor, Mo, to maks his future home here, coming through with car load of furniture and stock. His wife and daughter arrived day earlier, as mentioned by the Star.
 The Windsor Review, of July 20, speaking of Mir. Kelly and his family coming here, says:
 Judge John >. Kelly and wife moved their household effects to Mena, Arkansas, to-day and will become resi- dents of that thriving little Arkansas town. The Judge and wife came to town thirty years ago and have lived continuously in the same place on North Main street ever since. He first started into the mercantile business with Edwin Bass in the building now occupied by the Review office. and for fifteen years the firm of Bass & Kelly were the leading merchants here. After Mir. Bass death Judge Kelly conducted the business alone for some time, then he organized the Osburn Bros & Kelly Mercantile company and did business here for about ten years, when Judge Kelly retired from the firm and has since been in the insur- ance business. Ills son, J. Spenc CT Kelly, is cashier of the Bank of Mena, and Mr. and Mrs. Kelly have finally decided to move there and be with him. Miss Lida will go also, but will return in time to take charge of her school room in Sedalia where she will teach this fall.
 "In this family, Windsor loses some of her best citizens, who have been so identified with her business and social interest that their going away is a positive loss to the best interests of the community. The Review trusts they will like their new home. and join their friends in wishing them both health and prosperity
