Caught His Man.

Sheriff White of Pope county who was in Green Forest a few weeks ago in pursuit of horse thief must have caught his man according to the following from the Little Rock Gazette:
 "Sheriff John M. White of Pope county is an officer who permits no obstacle-especially distance-to thwart his efforts to bring offenders to justice. Sher- if White has just concluded a successful interstate chase after a horse thief. Not long ago a fine horse was stolen from a citizen near Russellville. Sher- if White at once started in quest of the thief. The latter led the vigilant officer an exciting race through the mountains of North Arkansas, and, crossing the Missouri line, laughed in his sleeve, thinking he had outwitted his pursuer. But the purloiner of equine flesh did not know the intrepid Arkansas sheriff. A little thing like state line did not deter Captain White. Mis- souri territory was just as easy for him to cover as the soil of Arkansas. He kept going, and did not stop until he overhauled the fugitive. The latter is now ensconced in the Pope county jail at Russellvllle.'

Wants Her Money Back.

The following dispatch taken from. last Sundays St. Louis Republic will be read with much interest and surprise by Green Forest people, as it relates to a man who has spent good deal of his time here during the past two years.
 Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 2i.
 Mrs. Anna P. Tinsley has brought suit against John w. Tinsley to recover S1 100, out of which she declares he has flimflammed her, and also demands his arrest for embezzelment of same.
 Furthermore she asserts that he has another wife. Plaintiff says she mar ried Tinsley Jan. ? at Van Bnren, Ark, supposing him to be worth $75, ,OOO, be- cause he told her so. x
 From there they went to Excelsior Springs, Mo-, Here Sept. 6, he told her he needed rest, and would go to Montana, where his alleged .$75, ,OOo property was. Instead, he came to Los Angeles, writing her fully, saying he had deceived her. Tinsley has disap- peared,

in any town twice the size of Green Forest in Arkansas. While the paper is small, it is not at the expense of local news, the Every essence of the nilsson of a local paper. We have during the past year cancelled nearly all pat ent medicine contracts in order to hold our reading space. It is hot the size of a paper that deter fmines it's value by any means. It is what the paper actually con- tains. THE TRIBUNE will answer the demand for larger paper as soon as the growth of the town will justify it.
 We propose to keep our paper squarely in the lead on all lines of improvement. It is our pur- pose to make the paper twice it's present size just as soon as the railroad is completed to Green Forest. We propose to seek the same place in the confidence of the newcomers to Green Forest that we fill in the hearts of the people who have helped to make it possible for Green Forest to be what she is today.
 In the future as it has in the past, THE TRIBUNE will maintain a fearless independence. A newspaper is not more necessa- rily political than any other bus mess concern. The local paper has long since become lost art, as a political organ, if indeed it ever served any profitable pur- pose as such. In any event, the political leaders do not fail to keep their constituents fully posted on subjects political, while the great city papers have a broad circulation among all classes. An organ that fol- lows up the mire of any variety of politics becomes unclean. It is the feerless out-spoken, inde- pendent paper that is welding the greatest influence for good not only in small towns but in the cities as well.

FRISCO MOVEMENTS.
Rumor That She Has Acuuired the Little Rock SS Northern.

the Little Rock &1 Northern.
 Following is arecent dispatch sent out from Yellville: ..It is now certain that the Frisco has made a silent march and has cov- cred the zine field with a loop that takes in the richest mineral territory in Arkansas and in the world as well. From authentic information just received 1t is learned that in addition to push ing construction on the Chadwick and Eureka Springs extensions, or branches, the Frisco has made financial arrangements to carry on the Little Rock Northern rail way; the location survey of which has just been completed. That this interferes materially with the plans of the Memphis people is evident from the revelation of it's project to reach the Marion mineral field from Springfield. The mere fact that the Memphis has been so silent while the Frisco was reaching out from two directions gave rise to the suspi- cion that it was aiming to steal march on it's competitors. Now that itis disconnected by this latest move of the Frisco in ac- quiring control of the Little Rock Northern, which is to be pushed, and which will form a part of the Frisco loop, a new plan must be adopted. Advice just received declares this will be done.
 '"The attorneys of the Missouri Pacific declare that the Frisco has violated a contract not to att tempt to cover this territory. Whether the discomfited com pany will attempt to retard the Frisco by litigation or to start to- ward this field from Batesville remains to be seen. The latter, from moves now going on, seems to be the most probable, especial ly as it's agent who recently visited this field made favorable report.
 "Colonel Johnson will soon make proposition to the people of Marion county to which he will ask for a bonus. He may be looked for in Melville this or next week. While asked for the Lit tie Rock Northern primarily, Mr. Johnson will stipulate that the bonus be held in escrow to be given to the first railroad reach ing into this coveted territory. This will be in accord with what he told the writer a few months ago. If his road is not the first the Frisco proper must be, for none other can reach here so quickly.
 "There is more of suspicion that the nearly S1O0,0OO expend- ed so far by the Little Rock Northern came out of the coffers of the Frisco, or at least was fur nished from the dividends of that system. In the loop to be formed Yellville will be the central point, though connections of the there seperate lines may be made at as many points, Dodd City, as inti- mated last week, being one of them. The Rush Creek country is to be reached and the Hall mountain country as well, while the several tributaries of the Buffalo river will be brought within short distance.
 Having been forestalled it is possible that the Memphis will build to Marion county from West Plains in order to anticipate an extention from Salem by the Frisco. It can be set down as certain, from information just re- ceived, that the Memphis is bound to have a slice of Marion county and that immediately"

entered against any of these pa ties for perjury, nor has Sta ever given the suffering publ any explanations whatever.
 But there are still other singl lar things connected with u matter that are hard to unde The Fayetteville Revie' a leading Republican paper, now su uoporting Stahl for re-al pointment. That paper h; the same editor now that it ha when the above charges wel made public against Stahl ar commented upon the affair November, 1898 as follows:
 There are some mysteries connected with this peculiar piece of business that seems quite difficult of solution. In the first place MT. Stahl had the selection of his own clerks and deputies and should have exercised great care and unerring judgement in making them, and it is generally believed that he did that is the men were all highly recommended and stand we'll in the communities where they have been known for years. We say this re- gardless of the fact that an edict has gone forth from the Marshal's office to the effect that they are ''vipers'' and 'sfiends in human form.''
 The affidavits charging the malfesance of Mr. Stahl's
 office were made by Geo. w. O'Neal, of Carroll county, James Stotts, of Madison;
 w. T. Hoblitzell, of Polk, and w. Broyles, we believe also of Carroll county, all good men and of Stahl's own selection. It may be that their positions were given them grudgingly and in full fillment of promises made to secdre their aid in boosting MT. Stahl into a fat position, and possibly later on their resignation were desired in order that their "benefactor" might liquidate other cam paign promsies. All these things are strongly hinted at, but of course we cannot vouch for their authenticity. Conceding now for the sake of argument that these four men who preferred charges against MT. Stahl all that his department has pictured them, viz: "vipers'' "fiends in human formo etc. in what light does it leave our mar shal? Is it possible that a banker, thorough business man and a "high christian gentleman" could be thus de- ceived in choosing his office deputies? Nor is this all. There is the man Parker who admits that he pocketed six dollars a day above his salary on the board of federal jurors alone, but claims he did not know he was doing wrong. Now the fellow who imag- ines Uncle Sam is leaving such soft snap as this lay ing around loose for the ben eft of common office deputies hasn't sense enough to hold the soap while an intelligent man washes his dog; upon the other hand, if he did know better, then he is dishonest and richly merits all the com plimentary epithets heaped upon the four men who made these affidavits. Here are five of MT. Stahl's clerks and deputies, four of whom are severely denounced from his own office, while the other stands self convicted of either dishonesty or incom- potency. Does any respon- sibility attach to a United States marshal in matters of this nature2 We leave a de-

INTERPRETATION.

We long for a peace that is lasting,
We plead for a rapture that's rare, :
Like fishermen cesselessly casting -
Their nets in the gulf Of despair. rs
We draw from deep waters Of sorrow
Dark wrecks Of old failure and fear,
And out OF sea silence we borrow
The storm that will never come near.
Faith speeds past the footsteps OF duty
And halts at the door Of a tomb;
Thought pierces the source OF all beauty
And returns unto dust-'tis the doom
OF each man child t. strive and to wonder,
To plan for some positive gain.
And only find mysteries under
All life. be it pleasure or pain.
10, In realms OF the mind there is treasure
For toilers who dwell in content;
There is truth that no science can measure,
And the fearless are never forspent;
There is light when earth shadows are falling
There's reward for the deeds that are done
Where envy crowned virtues are calling.
Through faith is thy victory wonl"

Arkansas valley are reveling in money
as a result of the pay which they have
just received for the beets delivered in
October. The American Beet Sugar
company finished paying today for
October beets and $l52, 900 was paid to
the farmers. Instances are numerous
of profits of 800 per acre net, and few
are realizing less than $50.
1.-The American Beet Sugar company
is so well satisfied that the soil and
climatic conditions in this valley are
just right for raising of beets of high
percentage of sugar, that arrangements
are already about completed to double
the capacity of the Rocky Ford fact ry.'
