RAILROADERS MEET.
Stockholders in the New Line Assemble at Eureka Springs.

The Eureka Springs Times Echo of the 14th contained t. e following notice of the meeting f the stockholders of the St. L. C. N. A. R. R.:
 "The stockholders of the St. Louis &> North Arkansas rail road met this morning and of fically ratified the transfer of the old Eureka Springs railway to the new company. They author ized the issuance of a mortgage to cover payment for the old TO, q and to build 110 miles ofnew line, and elected the following board of directors: John ScuIlen, c. II. Smith, Festus J. Wade, of St. Louis; G. J. Crump, of Harrison J. W. Freeman, of Berryville; o. W. Watkins, and George West, of Eureka Springs.
 In addition to the board of directors the following office were elected: O.W. Watkins, president; CHI. Smith. .yice pres- ident; Geo. A. Madill, treasHae; Geo. West, secretary. President Watkins was too busy to be in teryiewed today, but it is under stood that he favors the selection of MT. Scullin for president as soon as that gentleman returns from California, and will urge that the change be made. How ever, the roads interests are per fectly secure in the hands of Mr. Watkins. The officers select cd today will be the working force during the construction of the new line, and are already in touch with all details of the work
 Among those interested in the road who arrived today were Richard Kerens, A. Douglass, auditor of the Frisco, and Mr. Elkins, of Kansas City. It is ex- pected that tomorrow B. F. 4ok- um, general manager of the Frisco, will be here, as well as others who are interested in the welfare and upbuilding of Eureka Springs. The presence of all these railroad men is evidence that they are continually awake to the needs of our city ond vicinity.

ity. Enumertors are to be resi- dents of the districts where they perform duty. Voters in each district should satisfy themselves that suitable selections of enu- merators are made. If the local and national value of the service were better understood. the enumerator' office would attain greater dignity in the public estimation, and each district would assure itself against injury through mistaken recommenda- tions or appointments.

HAS DONE MUCH FOR US.
Gen. Powell Clayton as an En-
 terprising Citizen.

Just now when everybody is happy over the building of the St. Louis & North Arkansas rail- road, it is not out of order to make mention of the man who is directly responsible for this auspicious condition.
 The progressive citizenship of Carroll county, regardless of political affiliations, is proud of Con- Clayton, for the fact is well .k1ioWn that he has done vast AInount toward the growth and progress of this country. It is not putting it a whit too strong to say we are more deeply in debted to rim for our present pr0sperous condition than any other person.

Carroll County Republicans.

The Republicans Of Carroll county met in delegate conyen- ton at Berryville last Saturday for the purpose of electing five delegates to each the state an3 congressional conventions, and to attend to a few other business matters. John I. Worthingto1 was made chairman of the meet- ing and J. M. Jefnigan secretary.
 The following gentlemen were selected as delegates to both tl-e state and congressional conven- tions: Gen. Powell Clayton, John I. Worthington, J. W. Free man, J. ". True and A. J. Rus sell.
 The following persons were endorsed for positions as census enumerators
 Carrollton township, K. M. R1- mey; Long Creek, c. c. O'Neal; Yocum, c. B. Mann; Cedar, J. l.. Ruble; Dry Fork, J. K. Howard; POlO, j. W. hlcKnlan, f1lcAOfJ1, l.. E. Harbert; Prairie, W. D. Crawford and R. A. Kendall; Kings River, Oscar Miller; Lib- eety, A. J. Russell; O.nega, r. M. Davis.

the climate of Mexico agrees with him. He is naturally well pleas ed with the railroad extension now in progress, and it is with a satisfied air that he views the realization of the hope so often expressed by him in the years gone by. In company with c. H. Smith he took dinner at the J. B. Colt railroad camp near the tun- nel today, and is familiarizing himself with details of the work in meeting with the stockholders today.
 AS soon as the railroad work is over there is no doubt but that the eArkansasRepubliean chieftain will have his hands full of politics the remainder of his stay. There are all kinds of trouble among the faithful, which have never yet been told to the police, and which have been listed on the Generals program of entertain r. ment. In fact, he will carry back to the land of the fair god a confused medley of vociferous plaints, the echoes of which will follow him beyond the turbid waters of the Rio Grande. His troubles revoive with such kaleid- oscopic rapidity, from Governor Barnes of Oklahoma to the Eureka Springs post office, that it is no great wonder he rarely leaves his quiet post at the Mexi-
 can capital to plung into the gurgling maelstrom which al- ways awaits him in the states.''

A Apainst Whiskey.

EDITORS BUNE:-Will you please give me space in your paper to drop 8 few thoughts on the whiskey question? I was astonished when l read the state ments made by, some who favor open saloons. Just think of it, some who profess to be Christians are in favor of them! Are in fa- vor of the vile stuff being sold right under their noses! 1 am one who favors the present law being enforced. I say put whis- key down as much as possible. If l had the power I would wipe it out of existence. Some people claim they have to keep it in case of sickness. Don't we well know that it kills more than it cures? 1 am not in favor of licensing our boys to partake of the ruin- ous stuff. Just see what whiskey is doing for our country; see the many promising boys that are driven to the dogs by drinking whisley! They say that they will get it any how. For Gods sake, don't lay 1t down at their feet. If they buy it and drink it, let it not be at our consent. If a saloon is opened in Green Forest, mark what I say, there is plenty of men who will drink daily, who will not buy school books for their children. l will add no more at present, but you will hear from me again on elec- tion day. am not in favor of repeating the law, but getting after the old blind tiger and pull ing him so hard, he will not go back in his den.

ST. L. & N. A. R. R,

.MGen. Clayton came to Eureka Springs at an early date and became identified with nearly every enterprise that has built up that famous health and pleas ure resort. It was he who head e5 the scheme that built the
 Eureka Springs Railway, and you may say what you will, the Eureka Springs road has been of untold value, not only to Carroll County, but to this entire section iof the state, and it's building was the first step of substantial pro- gress the county has ever en- joyed. It was never the idea of Gen. Clayton that Eureka Springs
 sEiould be the terminus of this line, and but for insurmountable obstacle5. he would have pushed
 the road through to Harrison ,ears ago. While Gen. Clayton does not control the money that issnow being spent in the build
 ing of the Eureka Springs ex-
 tehsion, he was the first cause of the building of this line, having
 spent lots of time and money in
 his effort to interest capital in the scheme, and the people who are to enjoy the benefits of the great Enterprise greatly appreciate his work, and are proud of the fact that he is a citizen of our county. The idea is prevalent in some places, where Gen. Clayton is not Known, personally, that he is 8 sort of a tyranical political leader,
 but such IS far from being fact. He is one of the most courteous and sympathetic men who ever held 8 political rein in the state.
 He is kind and gentle in all his sdealngs, and from 8 business standpoint the strongest friends
 he has in the county and state are found in the Democratic Iparty. Gen. Clayton exercises .SA ? Sdille Cegree oI respect tOWdfd the working man that he has for the wealthy. In, short, he is a 18reat and useful man and his s@ongest admirers are those who .mow him best.
 Gen Clayton has been away on Im a leave of absence from his .lost as ambassador to the Re- 'p4blic of Mexico for the past few |Weeks, and took occasion to visit 'tls old home at Eureka Springs 'and made personal observa- fbn of the progress of the work m the line of the new railroad.
 Commenting upon the visit of t4e General, the Eureka Springs 5nes- Echo says:
 S Gen. Clayton looks as though

Itis very hard to stand idly by

Itis very hard to stand idly by and see our dear ones suffer while awaiting the arrival Of the doctor. An Albany (N. Y.) dairynan called at a drug store there for a doctor to come and see his child, then very sick with croup. Not finding the doctor in, he left word for him to come at once on his return. He also bought a bottle of Chamberlain S cough remedy, which he hoped would give some relief until the doctor should arrive. In 8 few hours he returned, saying the doctor need not come, as the child was much better. The druggist, Mr. Otto Scholz, says the family has since recommended Cham berlain's cough remedy to their neighbors and friends until he has a constant demand for it from that part of the country.
