TWO NEW INDUSTRIES.
The M"nrfncture of "Wh:le""ne'

Cattle and from Rattan.

Thirty OF 40 years ago. when whale.
bone was abundant and cheap. it was
extensively employed in making UNI
brellas. horsewhips and corsets. slen.
der strips of the same material We're
also used to stitfen the waists of la

practically disappeared from the mar.
ket. and other materials are made to
perform the old duties. a recent con.
sular report from Austria declares
that IA: tan is now introduced into he
cheaper grade of corsets i'll that coun.
try. and also that an artificial whale.
bone is made there out OF the horns
of cattle. The annual output of this
article is put at 10000 pounds.
Two kinds of artificial, whalebone
are produced. one having a blond hue
and the other black. The former is
superior. and brings about 50 cents
a pound. while the latter sells for
about 25 cents. The blond variety
is made out OF the horns of Hungar-
ian cattle. and these are marketed
in wet condition. The black vari.
ETY. comes from the horns of India
cat tie, and they are imported dry.
The horns are pressed between
heavy and hot irons. The outer sides oil
the horns become more or less
scorchcd. and slabs drawn from these
outer surfaces are much inferior in
quality to those taken from the CEN

FILTRATION OF WATER.
:nDeath Rate from Typhoid Fever
- Has Decreased. ...

- Although Chicago unquestiohably
bis. the. best. drinking wafer Of any
large city on the globe. there" is no
daubt that many impurities eoneluc-
i've to disease, especially to typhoid
feyer, find their way into the: city S.
Homes. While the quality of our lake
water will be greatly improved by
thepassage of the city sewage through
the drainage canal. there will still be
CROUCH. of impurity left to be men
ace. to the public health. The use OF
sand filters is highly recommended by
the best sanitary engineers: of the
co11ntry. These filters have already
been cons trEcted in II American
towns and cities in the last decade.
During the same period more than
100 others have installed mechanical
filtration plants. No fact in sanitary
engineering is more fully established
than that the death rate from ty-
phoid fever is materially lowered by
filtration. and the present interest
of the public gives hope that the time
is not far distant when the cities of
the United States. Will take rank wath
London, Berlin. Vienna and Anster-
dam in freedom from that disease.
The system of slow filtration
through sand beds is regarded by the
highest authorities as preferable to
tithe more rapid system OF mechanical
filters. though in many eases the lat
tier may be installed at a less eN
dtense Statistics of both systems show
that the slow sand system is used by
cities having an aggregate population
idf o1. 400. oOo9, of which 1o.2oo;ooo are

WHETHER they do, or do not get the railroad, Berryville people are due the Progress great gobs of gratuity for the effort that paper has put forth in trying to interest the people in the scheme. Much is always expected of newspaper in crisis like Berryville has ex- perienced, but when one makes the colossal sacrifuges the Prog ress has made in this instance, it is too utterly too, too.
The Green Forest tribune., 1900-04-12

WHILE the citizens of Green Forest are glad to welcome new people among us, there is a spirit of home-pride here that causes US to resent expressions of fault finding from new corners. We know that our town hasneeds; we feel among ourselves that it is really not what it might be in the way of having public conven- fences and improvements, but the majority do not take kindly to early criticism by people who of their own accord choose to
 come among us. People coming here should realize that our lack of capital and enterprise is their opportunity, and We are proud to noue that most of them look at it that way. If our streets were all graded, sidewalks built every where and every thing up in city style, our property could not be purchased at such prices as it is offered now, and the grand op- por5unity that now exists for in- vestiment would not be here. Every public improvement ad- vances the value and price of property, and as we say, the new citizens should be proud to ind a. condition that offers such good in- dacenlent for capital ant enter- prise. We ask no one to help us shoulder any public debt, as an incorporation we don't owe dol lar, we simply give anybody even chances willA us in making the money that is always possible in converting a sllall town into a city.

THE Arkansas Democrat int

THE Arkansas Democrat inti- mates that Jeff Davis wild campaign may not be exactly satisfactory to the state organiza- tion when it comes together. The Democrat says: "The counties holding early primaries will not be able to control the. state demo- cratic convention, and if any con- siderable number of democrats in counties where these early pri- maries are held should desire to hold new primaries on the 9th of June as directed by the state democratic central committee, it is almost certain the delegates they might select would be rec ognized by the convention. :"
