Progressing Rapidly.

Railroad work is reported to be progressing rapidly all along the line. The bridge work is now complete from the railroad junc- ton to Kings River.
 The bridge across the river is practically finished up to the first piers, ready for the iron. Two more weeks of good weather will finish the grade from the junction to Brewster and Henslee's work, down near Batavia in Boone county.
 The bridge crew is pushing that part of the work to finish, the only hindrance being lack of timber. They use it up faster than tits received.
 There can be no doubt but that it is the intention of the railroad company to make every possible edge cut until trains are running on scheduled time to Harrison, which no one now thinks will be later than April 10th.

A REFORM SCHOOL.
The Department of Education
 Send out an Address.

A. J. Russell, president of the
 Green Forest school board has received the following address from the State Department of ed- ucation:
 ''The report of the commission CT of education for 1897-98 shows that there were at that time in the United States eighty seven reform schools, in which were enrolled 25,3O8 pupils. Thirty six states are represented in the list, Massachusetts having 9; New York, 9; Pennsylvania, 4; Ohio, 3; and the others, 1 or more.
 ''The reports from these insti- tutions are uniform in support of the fact that the boys and girls who, through inherent moral de- generacy, lack of proper home restraint, or the influence of evil associates, have become violators of the law, may, in most instances be reclaimed and developed into upright, industrious citizens by the agencies employed in reform schools. On the other hand, it is lamentably true that, left un- checked, or being thrown into confinement and companionship with criminals more advanced in years and more steeped in moral pollution, they become apt pupils, more lawless and daring on ac- count of such lack of restraint. or evil associations.
 'An effort will be made to se- cure from our legislature at it's next sitting the enactment of a law establishing reform school in Arkansas. 1t is requested that your school board go on rec ord in favor of such institution, provided the movement meets with your approval, and that you adopt suitable resolutions and forward the same to this office to be presented, along with like from other school boards, at a fitting time, to the committee appointed by the legis- lature, before which they should properly come."

Convicted for AnOther's Crime.

Charles Colbert of Greenwood, this state, who was convicted for the killing of Peter Hughes at that place several months ago, is about to be fully exhonorated from any connection with the murder.
 Colbert was convicted of the murder of Peter Hughes at Hunt ington, April 21st last, and sen- fenced to hang on Aug. 22. On August 17th sentence was sus- pended by the governor until the 31st to enable his attorneys to present further testimony. On August 24th the governor refused to interfere, announcing that the murder was a most brutal one and that the law must take it's course. On August 30, however, Colbert's attorney appeared and made an appeal which induced the governor to grant another reprieve until September 7th, and on September 9th he was once more reprieved until No vember 9th. On November 9th g. further appeal was made for clemency and the governor finally agreed to commute the death sentence to Imprisonment for life.
 Since Colbert s incarceration in the penitentiary man by the name of Willard Ayers, an all- around crook, committed suicide, and now comes the strange reve- lation that Ayers confessed that he himself killed Hughes At least, this is a statement vouched for by a Mamie Coiner, a woman with whom Ayers was known to be very intimate and who was present when he committed sui eide.
 Governor Jones is now eonsid- ering the matter and Colbert's friends hope to see him free man at an early date.

Coin Harvey's New Resort.

The great author and speaker, Coin Harvey, has invested in Benton County real estate and will establish the finest summer resort in the west.
 Last summer MT. Harvey stopped at Rogers a few weeks for his health, and while there visited the famous Silver Springs. Their natural advantages inn pressed him as an ideal place for summer resort and he pur- chased the springs, together with a large tract of land adjoining.
 He has gotten out specifications for 200 room hotel, a large lake a mile square, a turnpike road from Rogers; distance of five miles.
 The Frisco road has agreed to give him the same advantages it gave Eureka, and as that road has now bought the A. 6 o. they will probably extend it to Silver Springs on southeast.
 Mass meetings have been held at Rogers and MT. Harvey will receive the undivided support of that city in his new movement.

pointed six commissioners, with instructions to do the best they could with the funds available.
 "These gentlemen undertook with willing hearts the task of laying the foundation of the building and the work they have accomplished has exceeded the expectations of the knowing ones who predicted that it would be at least five years before the corner stone would be laid.
 'sThe foundations of the great building are completed. They were finished a month ago, and within less than two years after the enactment of the law au- thorizing the construction of the building. The amount of money spent upon the work is about SAY, ,0O0, while the work, performed in the usual way, would have cost not less than S2O0,O00.
 1t is well that the citizens of Arkansas should come to Little Rock and witness the ceremonies that will take place to-day on the hill at the laying of the corner stone. The procession in honor of the event will be a notable one, and deservedly so.
 '"The people of Arkansas have just cause to be proud of their new capitol, and of their capital city, which is the synonym of progress. Little Rock extends heartfelt welcome to all the visitors within her gates. She will make them feel at home and give them excellent entertainment until the lights are turned out Saturday night. ,

rather untavorable. prices having fallen
on from $50 to 800 per ton. There were
many reasons for this. probably the prin-
cipal being the great overproduction In
1879. when shipments increased 70 about
5000 tens. against about $4,000 tons dur
ing 1895. which was more than necessary
for an increase Of business. and which
left the foreign consumers with a stock
more than sufficient TO cover their imme-
dlate needs. This enabled them to beat
down prices. In which they were assisted

LoANING MONEY TO ENGLAND.

During the campaign of 1896 the
country was informed by the Demo
cratic spellbioders that the United
States was in the power of the money
trust of England" In Lombard street
SO 1t was said, sat the fat old financial
spiders in whose webs the people of
this country were already struggling
like captured flies. If the Republicans
were successful, Ii was confidently as
serted, the Uoited States would be re-
duced to the condition of vassal ma
ton. unable to spend a dollar without
first making arrangements with the
"Old Lady of Threadneedle Street.
Four years after this terrifying
prophecy England, with several wars
on its overburdened hands, finds itself
in need of raising s50,O00,000 to cover
it's extraordinary military expenses 10
an instant four United States banking
firms offer to subscribe for the entire
loan. In other words, instead of being
in the power Of the mythical English
money trust" the financiers OF the
United States at the close of four years
of Republican administration are able
to help England out of a financial hole
to the extect of fifty millions of dol
lars. Instead of being "assal nation"
this country finds itself in the position
of creditor nation, able not only to
feed the world but to loan vast sums
of money to it's less fortunate col
leagues in the sisterhood of states.
The reasons why the Eastern finan-
ciers are anxious to get the English
loan are also interesting. The credit
of the United States is so good at the
present time and there is SO much
money in the country that people with
funds to loan can get larger interest
by going across the water for borrow
ers. United States bonds sell at pre-
MUM, while consols are offered at 9S
