A GOOD WORD FOR TExARKANA.
Hiram Glass, Away From Home, Has
Good Word for the Southwest
and This City.

The Globe Democrat has col
umn devoted to talks with the way
faring man who happens in St.
Louis, and we clip the following in
terviaw taken from this column;
Hiram Glass, prominent lawyer
of Texarkana, Tex, was in the city
yesterday, guest at the Planters.
"It weuld surprise you or any one
familiar with the country to make
a thorough tour of inspection
through the Southwestern states
just now," said Mr.. Glass. THE
prevailing high price of cotton and
the unusual demand for lumber,
cattle and all sorts of Southern pro-
ducts have operated to make times
better in the Southern and South
western states than for twenty
years. That this prevailing pros
perity is to be made permanent, as
far as foresight and good manage
ment may be made to control unto
ward circumstances, is everywhere
evidenced by the manner in which
people are disposing of their
surplus money. Instead of bury
ing his dollars, or filing the
fabled yarn sock with coin
against a rainy day, the Southern
farmer is buying more land, paying
for what he already has, putting ur
substantial improvements and lay.
ing in all sorts of improved farming
implements and machinery. Every
where in the country new farms are
being opened up, more habitable
houses and more commodious barns
are being built. An air of thrift
pervades the towns and villages,
while subtantial improvement is rife
in the larger cities. In Texarkana
we have organized improvement dis
tricts, and the entire city will be
paved during the present year, The
residence streets will be macadam'
lied, while those of the BUSINESS
section will be paved with vitrifieC
brick. Other project for urban i'm
provement are under consideration,
and what is true of Texarkana is, Ia
degree, true of other progressive
business centers in Arkansas, Texas
and louisiana" Mr.. Glass left fol
home last evening"

A PRETTY FRONT,
0'Dwyer & Ahern Making Extensive
Improvements on Their Property,

Mr.. Ed Rutter, contractor and
builder, has been at work some time
on the O'Dwyer & Arhern store
front, in making needed Improve
ments. The old windows have been
removed and the front changed un-
til enc would hardly recognize the
building in passing by. The show
windows are IA feet wide and 8 feet
high on both sides of IA feet en-
trance. A large keystone arch
span the entrance and the store is
given an up-to date look that is
truly refreshing. The 6rm can now
make a good showing of goods in
these windows and nothing adds so
much to store as well dressed
show windows.
Mr.. Ed Rutter, who did the work
is a fine workman as some of the
houses he has built here well attest
his skill. The fine Railroad Y. N. G.
A. hall was built'by him and it as
hne built building as there is in
the South to-day. Mr.. Rutter never
sights his work and when he turns
his Job over it is without flaw or
blemish. We congratulate Messrs.
O'Dwyer & Ahern on the work
about finished for them, and can
say that they have the finest win
dows for displaying goods in the
city.

 straass Played the Chant

Tbe teacher who influenced Strauss most was one Joseph Dreshler, ths choirmaster of St. Stevens church in Vienna, who tried to get the waltzes out of the boys head and put in tneir place anthems and chorals. In this undertaking he met with indifferent success, for he worshippers in one Of the Vienna churches were startled on a Sunday morning when there poured forth from the organ, filling the gloomy building by it's enchanting notes, a waltz instead Of the solemn Gregorian chant to which they were accustomed. It was Johann Strauss. Jr., who had taken the organist's place and substi- tuted his own favorite selection for the usual sacred Uasic, much to the dis may of the pious folk and the amuse- ment of the younger people of the con- gregasian.-E s Steiner in the ssnlsas.

queer Indian Custcnns.

The Mosquito Indians are not sc- quainted with the art of kissing, but they sniff or smell the skin of the cheeks, which answers the same pur- pose. The little child is lifted in the fathers arms, he buries his nose in ita stomach. Handshaking is as common As with us, but there is always tinge of melancholy in the character of the lndains, which breaks out where We would expect hilarity. Thus, after a long absence, sisters and mothers sit down. and, throwing a cloth over their heads with tAeir hands clasped on the head of the person who has returned, cry over him with their dirge-like song On the part of the wives, it Is supposed to be improper to show any emotion; consequently they take lit- tle potice of the husband on his return. but confine their attention to others aud do their duties n the meantime. =, Beii's Tangowera-
