Noticed by "Points.o

IN the May number of "Points, ; the Eureka Springs magazine, appears an extended write-up ot the country to be traversed by the St. Louis and North Arkansas Railroad. In this article men ton is made of Green Forest which THE TRIBUNE takes pleas ure in reproducing. While the esteemed editor of sPoints' could have said much more of our town we nevertheless appreciate the m ention he has given us, for il can but result in good, since Points is a publication of un- usual merit in every respect, and it's circulation extends to every portion of the United States. Here is what it says of us:-
 Green Forest has population of about 800. To the north a few miles are seen the blue tops of the Ozarl1s. To the south, farther away, are lifted up the beautiful tree covered, serated tops of the Boston Mountains. This town, although small, is regularly laid out, possesses excellent schools, churches, general mercantile lines, good hotels, liveries, a live weekly paper, THE GREEN FOREST TRIBUNE, and a progressive spirit.

Looks Like Roosevelt

The very latest from the Re- publican National Convention at Philadelphia says that sentiment has again turned toward Roose- welt for the nomination for Vice. President, and the distinguished gentleman is out in 8 card in which he does not decline to ac- cept:
 ''In view of the revival of the talk of myself as 8 Vice-Presi- dential candidate l have this to say:
 It is impossible too deeply to express how touched ] am by the attitude of those delegates who have wished ne to take the nom- ination. Moreover, it is not necessary for me to say how thoroughly 1 understand the high honor and dignity of the office, an office so high and so honorable 1t is well worth the ambition of any man in the United States, but while 1 appreciate all this fully, nevertheless l feel most deeply that the field of my best usefulness to the public and to the party is in New York state, and if the party should see fit to nominate me for governor, can in that position help the national ticket as in no other way. l very earnestly ask every friend of mine in the convention to respect my wishes and judgement in this matter.''

DAVID PAGE TURNS UP.
The Missing Spectacle Drum
 mer in Washington.

M. s. Coxsey received a letter Sunday night dated at Hartford, :, Wash, and signed by D. B. Page, the object of the letter being an inquiry concerning Mrs. Page.
 It will be remembered that Page left here some three or four years ago on one of his semi occasional rounds, selling spectacles and other jewelry, and that was the last that any one here knew of him. His wife made what ap- peared to be a diligent effort to locate the gentleman, but no in- formation was obtainable, so she at last gave the matter up and decided that he had been mur- dered for his money and stock of jewelry. This belief was strength ened some time ago by letter to Postmaster Grim from a cousin of Mr. Page in Washington, stating that David had not been heard of since he left Green Forest, and wanted information if any could be given.
 Pages letter to Coxsey gives no clue to his long-continued and mysterious absence, but simply encloses a stamp and asks for in - formation about his wife.
 Mrs. Page is residing now in the vicinity of Green Forest, and will, no doubt, be very much sur prised to learn that her long-lost husband is still on top side of ter ra firma, and is anxious to know something about her.
