BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING.

The Beard of Health of the city
of Texarkana, Ark, met at the law
Office of ]. D. Cook, Esq, at IL
o'clock a. M, today to consider such
business as should come before it.
Entire Board was present.
A petition from a number of resi-
dents in the vicinity of the Bailey

treatment of patients. On motion
the following resolution was unani-
mously adopted by the members
present:
Be it resolved by the Board of
Health that it is not its intention
to establish said Bailey House as a
pest house, nor to continue same
beyond the limit required to pro-
tect the cases already developed
upon the premises, and that others
have been permitted to 60 there
because the stages of development
of the cases sent there were the
same as those already developed ON
said Bailey premises, and that the
same shall not be used for further
cases of small pox, and said house
will be abated as a place for pa.
tients as soon as these cases now
there are discharged.

ject to fine in any sum not to ex
ceed $500.

quarantine line is extended to tht
full statutory limit of five (5) mile
beyond the city limits.

Wires Down.

The high winds now prevailing in
parts of the country, especially in
Kansas has made telegraphing al.
most impossible from some points of
the country. Today Dallas could not
reach Kansas City or st. Louis over
the wires out of that place and all
messages had to be sent to the
Western Union Office here and re.
peated to the above points. This
caused Manager Hughes to get a
double shuttle on himself and force
during the rush.

MADE TWO CROSSINGS.
British Driven Across the Tugela in
Great Confusion.

The British made two crossings
over the Tugela river yesterday,
one at the Pont and the other at
Molen Drift. With the object of
storming the Boer position; at Pont
the British we're repulsed and
driven back in great confusion, but
the column at Molen Drift did not
fare so bad and are still fighting. The
British loss is heavy, while that of
Beers is light.
Generals Roberts and Kitchner
have gone forward now and the
battle will be renewed under their
directions and we expect to see
some results follow favorable to
British arms.

A FINE EXHIBIT.
Two Cars Filled With Attractive and
Interesting Features,

Did you hear that keen, sharp,
loudly mellihuous whistle last night
the hour of the evening meal? That
was the announcement of the
presence of the Railway Exhibit
Cars, that arrived yesterday at 4 p.
m. over the Cotton Belt. They have
been tracked near Y. M. G. A.
building, and will be here for a
week.
These cars contain at present the
fruit and vegetable exhibit of Santa
Clara county, California, in one car,
and a fine Marine Museum in the
other The variety of the fruit
shown is excellent, but in the staple
fruits Arkansas can excel in many
ways. These cars now making tour
of the state to give here citizens an
object lesson, A company has been
organized under the auspices of the
State Board of Trade, which has
leased these cars for three years tc
60 abroad for three years and show
up Che resources and production Of
the state.
An exhibit of her fruit, vegeta
bles, minerals and timber will bt
placed on board, and Mr.. Leak, the
manager, will take these cars ant
90 abroad in the more densely pop
uIated states, and tell the people Of
the advantages to be secured in the
way of cheap homes, fine climate
and varied natural products for
three years and pay all the expenses
of the tour. 1t is estimated that
it will cost $l2, 900 to put in a cred
table display, supply printed mat
ter and change the cars so as tc
show nothing but Arkansas pro-
ductions.
The big fish, called the elephant
shark, and marine museum, and
the X-Ray machine are side at
fractions which will prove interest
ing and instructive to all.
Admission to both cars, 10 cents
Open from 9 a. m. to 10 p. m.

more that this to oust him.

Margarita

Cochse Review: La Margarita mine, the property of MT. Brant, is to receive considerable development. The obiect of the work is to open up fresh ground and particularly to oopen up body of rich ore that exists al the fourth and what will be hfth levels. The vertical shaft will be continued for another one hundred feet, and then the ground will be open ed from that point tn the fifth level, joining the incline shaft. It is here that the rich ore body exists. The ore blocked out at each level IS or great value. Experienced foremen have been put on and ihe systematic working of the mine will be at once continued. The value of this prop erty. taken only from the ore actually blocked out and in sight, is already very great, and will of course be mate rially increased as the work continues.

ANOTHER MOVEMENT.

1t is a curious circumstance that while Mr..
Carl Schurz is putting forth tentative eulogies
Of Mr.. Bryan, Democrats of less irregular polit-
ical habits are still discussing the possibility of
finding some member of the party who is
capable of wrestling the nomination from the
Nebraska candidate There Is an element Of
pathos in the search which these despondent
persons are conducting in the faint and feeble
hope of escaping the doom to which Mr.. Bryan's
control of the party machinery seems to have
consigned them six months before the election
The latest name to be protruded into the dis
cussion in the course of this mournful endeavor
to strike a popular chord is that of Mr.. Cleve-
land, and the public is desired to understand
from mysterious mods and intmations on the
authority of men who not yet ready to be
identified that a movement of the highest i'm
pOrtance is gathering strength with eXtraordi
nary rapidity.
Mr.. Cleveland himself has not been publicly
heard from on the subject, at least since he
wrote to the anti Bryan Democrats of Brooklyn,
who lately performed the melancholy function
of dining in memory of Thomas jefferson, that
he was so far out of politics as to feel quite at
liberty to express himself on the situation and
necessities of his party. We suppose there is no
doubt that Judge Van Wyck. on the various
occasions when his qualifications have been ear
neSuy proclaimed by gentleman from Ala
bama whose name escapes us, has been q recep-
tive candidate, but SO far is known Mr..
Cleveland has never given the public any right
to look upon him in that light. OF course, it is
conceivable that the anonymous patriots who
are arranging to have Mr. Cleveland request
Mr.. Bryan to withdraw in his favor have made
suitable sOundings in Princeton; but it would
not be surprising If. having inadvertently neg
lected that precauton, they should presently
discover that they were without motive power
for their projected movement.

PORTO RICO FRANCHISES.

Congress has passed and the President has ap-
proved the measure restricting future opera
lions in Porto Rico franchises 1t is an espe-
ciaIy creditable page in the record of Congress
that 1t was able within a narrowly limited time
10 put through such supplementary measure
in the face of a host of greedy and wealthy
applicants. The Tribune'S suggestion regard
ing the defects of the original Porto Rico bill
was one which scarcely any member would
be disposed TO resist openly, but time and
the inertia of the Senate were serious obstacles
10 overcome. Happily, the Governor is
man who cares much for the public welfare
that such measure would be welcomed by him
on that account, if it were not merely as
tightening of his individual cares.
AS it finally passed, the restricting provision
was more complete and effective than the
form first proposed by the House. Perhaps ii is
little curious that the approval of the Presi-
dent Is not in terms required for franchises
granting use of natural resources such as water
power for industrial purposes, but the third sec
tion goes far toward establishing in respect
TO corporations of every kind, better regu-
lationS for the protection of the public welfare
than the States Of the Union have generally
adopted. In fact, no such broad and thorough
protection Of the peoples rights can well be OBJ
tanned under the constitutions and laws of many
Stdleb Wnlcn nave long ago allowed franchises
of the highest Importance to pass beyond their
control, and vested rights in connection with
them 10 be created which the States are ne
longer able to limit.
The provision respecting Porto Rico which
The Tribune urged was meant to be and will be
altogether more far reaching and valuable than
mere promise in a National platform II shows
in a definite and practical way what the Repub-
Ncans now in charge Of Government hold to be
the sound policy 10 pursue for the protection OF
the people respecting franchises and corpora
tions industrial and other. In making laws ap-
plicable 10 the States Congress has not a free

sity Of considering vested rights acquired under

States on A different footing in rivalries of
transportation and industry. But in dealing
with the ncw possessions Congress has a free

what principles il would wish 10 have applied

stricts its action respecting the States Congress
