Linneus Bulletin: Thomas Nj.
|tobb, ir., was the worthy son OF the
Rev. Thomas M. Cobb OF Lexington,
No., and a bright young man, fuli OF
promise, who by his natural geniallty
and quick intelligence made trends
and won promotion in all circles and
IN his every undertaking. He was
such a youth as would make his par
snts proud to claim him as their
child. Having served his country In
the Spanish war. he, like thousands
LOT other ambitious and patriotic
young men, was induced toenter SER
vice in the Philippine army, with the
commission of lieutenant. A lew
days ago his parents received word
that he had died of smallpox and the
ashes OF his cremated body would be
sent them by the war department..
Here was a young man worth all the
colonies OF the world to his mother;
more valuable to his country as a
citizen than 10000 Filipinos; worth
more in cold dollars and cents, ii you
can Judge a human soul that way, &c
the real interests of civilization thar

pelago for a year. Such was he when
be was thrown into the scales to buy
world power" and ''make history
Tor the gang of money gluttons who
are running our country. And wha'
= the result? What was bought WIFI
his life? A little tighter hold on
people we do not want as citizens ant
ena trade which is insignificant a.
compared with the cost OF getting L
these for his country; for his ven
srable father and his family an'
riends, a handful of ashes. Ans
Lieut.. Cobb was only one in thou

Lancaster, Mo-, May 17.-Freder-
ick Nysandwer. wealthy and respect
ed German farmer who lived near

the time of his death he was drawing
a pension from the government of
$3.50 per month. His will was to-
day filed for probate before Judge
Hail. His estate consisted of 420
acres of the best land in the county
and personal property amounting to
$3 900. He nominates six of his
neighbors as executors and directs
them to ascertain the exact amount
of money he has received as a pen
sioner and calculate interest thereon

refund both principal and interest to
the treasurer of the United States
government.

relatives are unable to account foI
this peculiar disposition, unless that
he took this means OF easing his con

Nav Be Oil in Missouri.

K. G. Times.
Kansas City men have organized
the Missouri Oil and Mineral COM
panv for the purpose of prospecting
for oil near Amsterdam, Bates
county. Missouri. This town is
located about fifty miles south OF
Kansas City on the Kansas City
Southern railroad.
The company has 10000 acres of
land under lease, and claims to nave
found evidences of oil. For years
springs and wells in this vicinity have
been so full OF oil as to be unfit for
use. This leads to the belief that by
a little prospecting oil can be found
in paying quantities.

as he keeps the law. Then why
this buzzing by Miss Busby2

During the debate in the sem
ate the other day on the general
Confederate pension bill, Senator
Carlock of Madison county said
the F'ilipinos had ten thousand
times more right to rebel against
the authority OF the United States
in the Philippines than did the
southern soldiers have to rebel
against the United States in this
country, consequently he voted
against the bill, and declared ne
would do so were he facing every
old Confederate soldier in Arkan-
sas. Some of the senators fairly
skinned Mr.. Carlock alive, and,
we imagine, the gallant survivors
of the lost cause would have paid
a good sized admission fee to have
been at the skinning.
Sharp County record., 1901-03-01

Talk about giving the inhabi-
tants of the Philippines a stable
form of government What
could these people do with a
government like that of the
United States? They could not
understand, appreciate or per-
petuate it. The Filipinos should
be allowed to choose their own
manner of government. A gov
ernment that does not suit the
people concerned is not a just
nor a stable government.

Just as this paper was about to
launch forth into an elaborate
discourse upon the conservative
manner in which the law is car

by the fact that the Arkadelphia

mob lynched a negro at Mena

promised to be an edifying pro-
duction. Fate is against us.

"Mardi Gras passed off

an unusually large number
OF drunks, many of whom
were women, and in some
cases highly respectable
young ladies. Of this latter
class there were many in the

The above paragraph is Ger
tainly an insult to the true woman

considerably below par.
Sharp County record., 1901-03-01
COUNTING THE COST.

The following measure was one
of the first to pass the genera,
assembly and receive the en-
dorsement Of the governor:
"Be it enacted by the gen.
eral assembly of the state Of
Arkansas:
Section 1. That it shall be
the duty of the secretary of
the senate to purchase and
furnish each member of the
body daily during the session
thirty dailies of any paper
publishing full reports of the
proceedings, to be designa-
ted by the members, or the
equivalent in weeklies, and
twenty-five cents worth Of
stamps.
Section 8. Any purchases
made under this act shall be
payable out of the fund ap-
propriated for contingent ex-
penses of the present general
assembly"
This bill is a matter vel
worthy the consideration of those
who are so deeply in
terested in the welfare of the
widows and orphans" 1t is a
bill from which the people at
large receive no benefit what
ever, and is wholly in the Interest
of the member himself. Let us
count up the cost of this meas
ure. Thirty newspapers per day
at two cents a copy amounts to
go cents a day for each member,
and in a session of 100 days each
will have spent $50 fol
newspapers. Twenty-Five cents
worth Of stamps per day in a
session of 100 days amounts to
S25 for each member, making q
total OF $50 each member has
spent for newspapers and post
age. There are 100 representa-.
tives and 80 senators, and $50
multiplied by 1872 members gives
the neat sum of S11,220. This is
the amount the Legislature spends
for daily papers and stamps for
their own private use. Who
foots the bill? The people of Ar
kansas, of course, even the ovid
ows and orphans, whom the
politicians are so anxious to
contribute their share to
this Infamous practice. But it is
a we'll known fact that the up-to-
date politician sheds no tears
over an expense that advances
his interests.

USELESS AGITATlON.

The negro of the south is just
now receiving a heaping measure
of attention from Carrie E. Bus
by of st. Joseph, Michigan. AS
the name would indicate Carrie is
a woman, a highly educated COL
ored damsel, who has always
lived in the north, and, therefore,
knows no more of the condition
of her race in the south than the
average southern Senegambian
knows of Europe. Howev er,
strangeto to say, she has conceived
the idea that the colored man
down south is still in slavery, and
she has constituted herself a
committee Of one to advocate his
freedom by forcible methods. In
a recent speech she says:
"Let the colored regiments
that fought at Santiago to free
Cuba now turn about and fight to
free themselves. Never will our
fellow men in the south be wholly
free from oppression and innocent
men wholly relieved from the
fear of lynching until they fight "
Of course, good Miss Busby is
unduly wrought up. The negro
in the south is free. He enjoys
more freedom today in the south
than in the north. He rec ewes
better treatment at the hands OF
southern people than he receives
at the hands of the north. The
negro in the south if he so de-
sires and is Industrious can own
land and a home of his own,
The people of the south pay taxes
to help educate his children. His
| freedom is not molested 80 long

If the legislature requires the
railroads to defray the expenses
