Arkansas and Missouri Road.

The Arkansas and Northern Railroad project which proposed to build line from Springfield, Mo-, to Little Rock, has been re- vived under @ new name and IS again endeavoring to get the road under construction. The Harri- son Republican of last week says ::
 'From the tnaneuvers of the parties connected with the Ar kansas Northern railroad scheme, whose charter expired a few days ago, it now appears that they have been acting in good faith i'll the matter of building 8 road from Little Rock to Springfield, but have perhaps met with some serious obstacles, which have hindered them in their arrange ments. They have made applica- tion for a new charter under the name of the Arkansas and Mis- souri Railroad Company.

Smal1-POx in Boone.

A proclamation was issued to- day declaring smallpox to be epidemic in Boone county and confirming the appointment of the following county board of health: County Judge John w. Andrews, Dr. A. J. Vance, pr. H. L. Routh, and pr. H. A. Pol lard. The disease, which has been pronounced smallpox, has been prevalent at Harrison for some time, and at least one death has resulted from it. Local phy- sicians, however, have declared that 1t is not smallpox nor any thing nearly so alarming, and that it had practically run it's course. Arkansas Democrat.
 The above mentioned disease has not been prevalentin Harri- son as stated above. Only two families in town have had it, and they have been well for sev- eral weeks and one of them has moved away. There is not a sin gle case in Harrison. There are two families that have it near Batavia about seven miles from here and their houses are quar- antined. These are the only cases in the county and there is absolutely no danger of it's spreading. Dr. Routh has charge of the cases and Dr. Vance re- quests us to state that while he is a member of the board to keep it from spreading he will not come in immediate contact with the cases.-Ifarrison Republican.

Rooseye1t's Big Tour.

According to Perry s. Heath of the Republican National Con- mittee, who returned to Chicago today, after a conference in the east with Senator Hanna, Gov. Roosevlt and other leaders, the campaigning tour planed for Gov. Roosevelt will break all records in the annals of Presidential cam paigning.
 From labor day, when Gov. Roosevelt will make his big speech of the campaign in Chicago, until the end of September, Gov. Roswell will spend his time west of the Mississippi river.
 All the month of October will be occupied in hard campaigning in the States of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio, with the ex- ception of a few days in West Virginia, which the Republican managers express strong hopes Of carrying. Two or three days at the end of October will be spent in New York and that small period of time will be all the East will see of Roosevelt during the campaign.

Mother Tells How She Saved Her
 Little Daughters Life.

am the mother of eight chil- dren and have had a great deal of experience with medicines. Last summer my little daughter had the dysentery in it's worst form. We thought she would die. l tried every thing l could think of, but nothing seemed to do her any good. 1 saw by an advertisement in our paper that Chamberlain s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was highly recommended and sent and got bottle at once. It proved to be one of the very best medicines we ever had in the house. It saved my little daughter's life. 1 am anxious for every mother to know what an excellent medicine 1t IS. Had I known it at first it would have saved me a great deal of anxiety and my little daughter much suf- fering.- Yours truly, MRS. GEO. F. BURDIcK, Liberty, R. l. For sale by Harbert & Sheldon.

strong personality, he was soon a power in politics. In 1859 he was delegate to the Wyandotte con- vention, which framed the first State constitution of Kansas. In 1860 he served as secretary of the Territorial Council; in 1861 he was appointed secretary of the State Senate. In the latter year MT. Ingalls, was also the Repub- lican candidate for Lieutenant Governor, but was defeated.
 Mr. Ingalls, then entered the newspaper field and was editor of the Atchison Champion for three years. In 1863-65 he was Judge Advocate of the State Militia, with rank of Major and Lieuten- ant Colonel, doing staff duty on the frontier.
 Once again MT. Ingalls, found himself the unsuccessful candi- date for Lieutenant Governor in the State campaign of 1864. Following this second de- feat, he devoted the next nine years entirely to his law practice and journalism.
 He was elected to the United States Senate in1873 and served, by re-election eighteen success sive years.
 As Senator, Ingalls, was pict- uresque figure. He was a fear less champion of every cause he espoused, and whenever it was known that he would speak the Senate chamber was filled to over flowing.
 From 1889 to 1891 Mr. Ingalls, was president pro tenn of the Senate.
 Senator Ingalls, few years ago retired from politics and devoted himself to farming. and writing for the daily magazines.
 MT. Ingalls married September 27, 1865, in Atchison, Annie Louisa Chesbrough of New York City. Eleven children, four sons and seven daughters, have frightened the Ingalls, household.

Tidal Wave in a River.

On one of many visits to China, Eliza
Ruhaimah Scidmore, author of e'Java, the
Garden of the East" etc., made visit to
the mouth of the Tsien-tang River to OBJ
serve the great bore of Hang -chau-the
tidal wave that sweeps into that stream
three times year. In the April Century
she thus describes the impressive pheno-
menon as it appeared at night
The moon was riding at the very zenith,
and it dizzied us to look up to it. Each
one stood evenly within the circle of bis
own clear shadow on the ground, at that
moment of the moon S transit, and the bore
was due; but it was calm night, and it
was three quarters of an hour after our
unaccustomed ears had caught the first far
distant, muttering undertone before the
White Thing was seen, CHASTITY line ad-
vancing as evenly over the water, and as
quickly, as the dark shadow of an eclipse
sweeps over landscape Nearer and
nearer it roared, growing greater and
whittier, until we could see tie whole cas-
cading, bubbling, frothing front, with
spray drops showering from the crest higher
up in moonlight. With the roar of awful
waters the dread thing came on, raising its
white crest higher and higher as it licked
the edges of the piles beyond which the
junks lay. There were shouts and yells,
and the usual boatmen's pandemonium let
loose on the junks as the roaring wave APP
preached. A rocket sized, some fire.
crackers sputtered and gongs resounded,
but all small sounds of earth's creatures
were drowned as the fearful White Thing
crashed past, and "a frightful kissing, a
seething lashing, and swirling Of still
higher pillows succeeded most sinister
sound of water ever heard-all speeding,
rushing, whirling madly, irresistibly on.
As the ten-foot wall of foam reached the
edge of the piling and the junk platform,
it foated the junks loose at the instant.
Each junk rode to the food fury bow on,
and continued to rise, to lift itself bodily
up, up, along the sea-wall before ones
fascinated gaze. In the fierce after rush
the water went swifter and more swiftly
by, until one had dizzying sense of dan
ger to come, but past fleeing from. Some
thing held one fascinated to the spot, al
though in the fewest minutes, barely a
quarter of an hour, two-thirds of the whole
body and mass of the food-tide had flung
itself against the wall, and, it seemed,

Ships chronometers.

There is popular belief, says the New
York Evening Post, that chronometers,
those delicate pieces Of mechanism which
enable the mariner to tell to nicety where
he is upon the ocean, are made only in
England. One will be told even in Maiden
lane that England is chronometer- -maker to
the world. This was true at one time,
but now, according to shipmasters, Amer
lea turns out excellent chronometers.
There are, however, only three American
makers as against numerous British firms.
Many of the instruments in use in the
United States Navy are Of American make.
These chronometers are purchased on trial.
The delicate instrument is subjected to ex-
tremes OF temperature, by means of which
its variations are ascertained. No instru-
-ment leaves the maker hands until it has
been thoroughly tested, or before it is three
years old. In this period there is ample
opportunity for developing its peculiarities.
When it is understood that an error Of four
seconds on the part of the chronometer viii
put skipper mile out of his course the
necessity of the most careful and thorough
test is apparent.
Even when an instrument has been test
ed to the satisfaction of the experts, and
has been finally adjusted, only skilled
man can be allowed to carry it from the
workshop to the ship. One firm alone has
dozen of these carriers constantly en-
ployed. They are not, of course, dealing
all the time with new chronometers; there
are from 400 to 500 always in stock from
ships arriving in this port from all parts of
the world. As soon as ship comes into
port its chronometer is usually sent ashore
for rating, that is to say, it is carefully OBJ
served until the ship is ready to sail, when
the variation is reported to the captain,
who can then make his calculations ac-
cordingly. The chronometers of the Trans
atlantic liners are sent ashore for rating
every time they come into port. The
greatest care is taken of chronometers on
board ship, and on all first-class ships there
are usually three, one being for deck OBJ
servations. The most perfect one of the
lot is usually placed in a dry but well ven-
tilated apartment amidships, where it is
firmly screwed down, and should there be
fear of dampness, wrapped in heavy
woolen blanket. On the Government yes
sels the chronometer is placed in case
lined and padded with curled hair, which
keeps it from being Jared. The smallest
speck of rust on the balance spring might
cause chronometer to lese its accuracy
A first-class chronometer costs $3.50, and
one of the same grade, capable of tele-
graphing its own time, sells at $3.50.

Hand and Machine Labor.
From the Chicago Tribune.

A thousand paper bags could formerly
be made in six hours and thirty minutes by
hand; they are now made in forty minutes
with the aid of machine. To rule 100
reams of paper on both sides by hand re-
quired 1900 hours; with ruling machine
the work is done in two hours and thirty
minutes of one mans time In shellins
corn by hand sixty-six hours and forty
minutes would be required to shell guam
tity which can be handled by a machine in
thirty-six minutes. A moving machine
cuts seven times as much grass per hour
as one man can cut with scythe. These
examples might be extended indefinitely,
but more forcefnl illustration is found by
considering the total horse power applied
to machines in this country and calculating
how many men it would require to do the
same work. For such calculations the
census figures of 1890 must be used
One horse power is equivalent to the
power of six men. Thus, if the work of
So, 48l men in the flour mills of the United
States is supplemented with the use of
1852, 365 horse power, the power is equiya
lent to the work of 4,514, 100 additional
men. In other words, the power does
seventy lone times as much work as the
employees. The ratio differs radically in
different industries Mr.. Wright finds that
the total horse power used in the United
States in 1890 was about 5000, 900,
equivalent to the work of $4,000, 900
men, while only 4,476, 1874 persons were
employed. the two kinds of power having
ratio of to L. A force of 36, 1000, 000
men represents population Of 1SO, 900,
600 so that, if the products of the manufac-
turing establishments were all made by
hand, it would require a population of that
size to do it, with none left for agriculture,
trade, transportation, mining, forestry, the
professions or any other occupations.
A still more striking illustration is found
in our transportation system. In 1890
there were over 80, 900 locomotives in this
country. 1t would take 81, $40, 320 horses
to do their work, or 347, 425, 920 men.
In countries like China nearly all the work
of transportation is actually done by man
power, and no further explanation of the
difference between America and Asia is re-
quired. By the use of steam we are evok
ing aid from the stored up heat in our coal
beds equivalent to the population of the
whole EARTH while the Chinaman lets his
coal lie underground, packs his loads on his
back, and does his manufacturing largely
by hand.
Mr.. Mulhall, the British statistician, cal
culated in 1895 that the use of steam power
had increased fvefold in the United States
in thirty-fve years, thus more than treb-
ling the collective working power Of the
population He also remarks that the
working energy of one American is more
than double that of one European. Thus
the civilized world, with the United States
leading, is yearly doing greater amount
of useful work, while Asia does no more
than it did thousand years ago. This
fact alone will explain the demand for the
s.open door and the increasing world
domination of the machine using nations.

Successful Treatment for Potato
Scab-
From American AgricuIturist.


In experiments at the Kentucky expert
mental station, corrosive sublimate treat
ment for potato scab was most effectively
tried. -Four to Al ounces of the snbh-
mate was dissolved in 80 gallons water
The seed tubers were allowed to remain in
the solution II hours. Seed so treated
produced potatoes almost free from scab.
If they were affected in the least the
scabby potatoes were very few and the
scabs quite superficial. Untreated plats
while they produced almost as heavy a
yield of potatoes, containeda great many
scabby ones which had to be thrown out
entirely, while the remainder Of the rows
we're inferior in quality. Remember that
care must be used in handling corrosive
sublimate, which is poison.
