THE NCURSI SION.

The excursion given the teachers
of Arkansas over the progressive
Pine Bluff, Arkansas River Railway
Friday afternoon by President w.
H. Langford, was a pleasure that
will long be remembered by those
who were among the guests. Mr..
Langford had a special train of new
passenger coaches and they were
well filled with the teachers, mem
bers of the commercial league, aud
their friends. The excursion ran to
English, distance of thirty miles,
passing several fast growing towns
and through some of Arkansas fin.
est and most valuable farming lands
At English the party remained for
almost an hour walking about and
visiting nearby farms. The broom
brigade, composed of young lady
pupils of the public schools Of this
city, were GA hand IN full uniform,
and gave very fine drill at English.
They were loudly applauded.
Hon. w. Langford, who was on
hand to see that his guests enjoyed
themselves, delivered an address
from the platform Of country
store at English. He has pot lost
the laurels of oratory he possessed
when boy, being credited with
two medals-the honors of two hard
fought oratorical battles. He is
man of broad business knowledge
and his address on this occasion
thoroughly demons Grated that fact
He was successfully eheered.

! THE STANDARD-The announcement
of Standard Oil company dividend ot
eight per cent, payable September Is
has caused another howl from the vel
low journals and the professional kicker
of the oil country The other dividend
the present year have been, one Of q
per cent. on March /, and one Of 10 pei
cent. on June 10. This will make ;
total of As per cent. and another diyi
dend of five per cent. is expected before
the close of the year A net dividend
of As per cent. is certainly something
handsome, but it must be borne II
mind that while the capital stock of tn
corporation is nominally 800, 600. 900
the actual property valuation of all it
pipe lines and refneries, gas plants, ga
and oil wells, terminal facilities at tn

600. A profit of 4S per cent. on 800,
900, 900 is only 3-5 per cent. on $500,
000,0 600. Some of the previous larg
dividends of the Standard were no
derived from profits of the manufactur

Railroad Notes.

The statement of earnings OF the
Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg just
issued for the fiscal year shows increase
in earnings note worthy even in these
days of improved railroad revenues.
The gain in gross is 81, 210 166, or 80 per
cent, and in net 1852, $40, or 56 per cent.
Part Of these lsrge gains is due, how
ever, to the fact that since July l the
earnings Of the Allegheny & Western,
the extension in Western Pennsylvania,
have been included in the returns. The
record would seem to indicate thst the
operation Of thi. line accounts for even
more of the improvement in revenue
than might be expected to come from a
new road 60 miles in length.
1t is considered very doubtful If the
Penns ylvania Railroad will adopt nickel
steel Tails for the points of severe ser
vice. At the famous Horseshoe Curve
the nickel steel rails have been replaced
by those Of the ordinary steel type, FOR
it was found that the rails diminished
the tractive power Of the engines on ac-
count of their hardness.

The 0pIy Way

OF getting what you want Is
TO purchase from reliable
sources. You may not need
0ur goods often, but when want
ed you want them prompt
" and want the best. The
.ickroom is no place for ex-
periments. Our prescription
department is the most i'm
poitant one with u, and we
leave nothing undone TO
secure only the best. A drug
may be pure but not up 10
the standard in strength.
Nothing short of the best is
thought of with US.
Our trade is large enough to
keep goods moving so that
we have no old stock. Our
methods of doing business
we think will warrant you in
coming back. Every article
bearing our name is guaan-
teed to be just as represented
or your money back.
