sLIPsHoD GOVERNMENT OF GOLF ABRoAr

SLIPSHOD GOVERNMENT OF GOLF ABROAD
President Robertson of the United States Gdt
Association may have occasion TO do little mis
sionary work among English golfing cousins
before his return TO this country. Complaints ara
frequent there this season concerning the
slipshod fashion in which golf is governed English
players prone TO regard American innovations
in golf rather lightly but the present United States
Golf Association seems to be infinite improve
ment over the haphazard government that prevails
abroad, IL the English papers TO be believed
and Mr.. Robertson may convince the Engisnmsa
OF it. That the time is ripe for the introduction Of
such an association may be gathered from the tu-

TURNED THE SWITCH,

The southbound passenger, No. 55 on the Iron Mountain which was wrecked at Beebe Tuesday morning was more badly damaged than first reported. The two express and bag gage coaches were smashed in such a way as to require many repairs, three of the express, mail and baggage men being severely bruised and disfigured.
 The cause of the accident was as stated-a COW. The animal was thrown from the track against the switch, turning it enough to throw the wheels of the coal tender upon the switch track though the engine had taken the main line. Naturally something happened and the result was a very complicated affair. One coach went to one side, the one following to the other and when they all came to a stand still, the order of the cars could hardly have been determined by their positions.

A CONJUNCTION DISCUSSED.
Between Boswell Institute and Ar kansas College By Directors
 of These Institutions.

The directors of Boswell Institute met Thursday evening at the office of l.. Minor in conference with a special committee from Arkansas College to discuss the subject of making the for mer school an auxiliary to the latter.
 The representative of Arkansas College were James P. Coffin, presi- dent of the board of trustees, Theo- dore Maxield and Dr. Eugene Long, president of the college.
 Nothing definite was decided upon, but all present signified their ap- proval of the plan, whereby Boswell Institute would be assisted in it's work by the Batesville school and it's grad uates accepted for the senior year by Arkansas College.
 Another meeting of the directors of Boswell Institute and this special committee will probably be held and definite measures taken to establish this conjunction.
 Newport people are interested in the maintenance of local school or college, with which to complete the education afforded by the public school, and would rejoice in the ac- complishment of this conjunction.

AN EXCELLENT RECITAL.

The recital, given for the benefit and under the auspices of the Baptist church of this city, which has been the talk of the town for several days and an event, which a large number of music loving patrons have been looking forward to with much antici- pative pleasure is today the subject of not only favorable criticism but glow ing compliment.
 Though the heat of the evening was oppressive, a good house was in at tendance, and the excellent selections both vocal and instrumental elicited much deserved applause.
 Thirty-two dollars were taken in, leaving q balance of $15 after all ex- penses, which was donated to the church.
 The young ladies of Little Rock, Searcy and Newport who contributed their talents to the occasion are the recipients of sincere thanks at the hands of the local church organiza- tiOn.

PROPOSITION OPEN.
Made By Directors of Newport Oil Prospecting Company to Melang & Cowan, Will Probably Be
 Accepted.

AS announced in Tuesdays INDIE PENDENT, J. F. Cowan of the firm of Melang & Cowan, engineers and drill CTS, arrived in Newport Tuesday to negotiate with the Newport Oil Pros pecting Company for the drilling of a hole.
 At a meeting of the directorate on Wednesday morning at the office of L. Minor, the following members were present.: T. J. Watson, president, c. e. Henry, acting secretary, G. w. Hurley, J. w. Grubbs, T. s. Stephens, l.. Minor, Dr. Henry Owen, J. w. Phillips and w. B. Chastain.
 J. F. Cowan, representing his firm, offered to drill into the earth 2OOO feet and insert castings to be furnished by the Newport Oil Prospecting Com pany, for which service the sum of $6,000 was asked.
 This proposition was not accepted as many of the directors were of the opinion that the price named was ex- orbitant and would not consent to it's acceptance. The Newport Oil Pros- pecting Company then issued coun- ter proposition, agreeing to pay S5000 for the sinking of 2000 foot hole, but stipulating that the castings for same should be furnished by the con- tractors.
 By request of Mir. Cowan, it was agreed that this offer be left open for twenty-four hours. He departed for his home in Joplin, Missouri, on the noon train Wednesday and upon con- sultation with his partner will wire either an acceptance or rejection of the terms of contract.
 To reporter for the INDEPENDENT, MT. Cowan expressed his belief that a depth of 2000 feet could be reached at the figure named of $5OO0 with profit to the drillers and that personally he would urge an acceptance of the terms of the offer made by the board of directors.
 Should oil or gas be struck at a point less than 2O00 feet, the contrac- tors would receive the full S50OO, but on the other hand, should sand be struck in much quantity, the cost of drilling would be so increased that 55000 would not cover the expense, yet the same would be binding re- gardless of the expense, according to the terms of the contract.

A. M. LAWN.

On Wednesday morning, telegram was received in this city, stating that A. M. Hawn, father of o. D. Hawn, night operator for the Iron Mountain, died at the Missouri Pacific hospital in St. Louis at o'clock.
 O. D. Hawn is thought to be in Pop lar Bluff, as he had not returned since called to his fathers side Sunday night. His many friends extend con- dolence in this sad hour.
 THE FATAL ACCIDENT.
 The accident which caused the death of MT. Hawn is told in the Poplar Bluff Sentinel of Mondays issue as follows:
 A. M. Hawn, aged 40, whose home is in Marquand, Mo-, but who has been employed as coach cleaner in the local yards for the past six years, was run down by an Iron Mountain car last night, and suffered the ampu- tation of his left arm near the shoul- der. He narrowly escaped with his life.
 MT. Hawn was walking south on the track at the intersection of the Cairo branch and the main line. The switch engine dropped car and Hawn step ped onto the track again, when he was knocked down, the wheels of the car crushing his left arm,
 Dr. Caldwell was summoned and he was compelled to amputate the arm near the left shoulder. The injured man was taken to the Missouri Pacific hospital at St. Louis.

THE MORNING STAR RAILROAD.

The depot and shop grounds have been surveyed out at Newport and the site for the bridge located. The com pany paid MT. Earnhart 5000 for right way through his farm last Thursday, and everything is in readi- ness for the grading to commence on the lower end. We are also reliably informed that the cutting out of the right way will commence on the west end in few days. It is thought that the final survey will be complet- ed by the 18th of July, when the loca- tion of the depots and side tracks will commence. A third party of survey ors are relocating through Oil Trough bottom where the farmers have ploughed up the grade stakes which are being replaced with iron stakes that will not be moved until the grad CTS move them. Clear the track boys, burn your old hats and collect those new ones promised you if the road was built. She's coming. 4,OOO men, they say, will have the cars running within IS months. Foot!

ONE ON HENRY SCHOTT.

The pearl industry continues to al- lure. Finding a several hundred dol lar stone with only little labor is too short route to fortune not to in terest and attract. But to see some of our most conservative and sedate bu- siness men right in the push deserves mention, even with proper allowance for the pearling stories now ahoat. Henry Schott it seems on Tuesday purchas lot of muscles and pro- ceeded to examine them back of his store. Frank Gullette noting that MT. Schott was very early through his pile of shells and very much discour- aged over his luck, thought to relieve the disappointment of the hour and procured very brightly polished su- gar coated pill, feeding the same to a hungry muscle, which forthwith clos ed his shell. Finally, this MT. Muscle was reached by MT. Schott and torn from his hiding place. Out dropped the pearl q mean the pilD and it's finder proceeded to go into ecstacies over the discovery. But alas the moisture of his hand soon played hay oc with the trim appearance of the pill and MT. Schott found himself the victim of trick of his friends.

DRIVE TO JACKSONPORT.

About twenty-five or thirty of the girls and boys of Newport enjoyed a moonlight drive Thursday night. Two large busses were hired, for the even- ing, both of which were rather crowd ed considering the oppressive heat.
 The young people first drove to Jacksonport, the early moon furnish ing light both going and' returning. Upon their return to this city, they drove about town and judging from the merriment and hilarity of the crowd, the occasion must have been richly enjoyed. ;.
 Among those in the party, chaper- oned by Mesdames L. c. McCauley T. D. Kinman, Jr., were Misses Josie Hitchcock, Tillie Sprigg, Jennie Me- Cauley, Maud Richardson, Nellie Meriwether, Lena Stockton, Blanch Stallings, Clara Murray, Jamie Steph- ems, Katie Bishop, Noreene Kinman, Mary Bailey, Della Bernstein, Nellie Terry and Messrs.

With the Newport Oil Prospecting
 Company For Drilling.

J. F. Cowan, of the firm of Melang x Cowan, engineers and drillers of Joplin, Missouri, with whom the sec retary of the Newport Oil Prospecting Company, T. J. Gregg, has been in correspondence, arrived in Newport Tuesday noon.
 His purpose is to conclude contract with the local company through it's president and his advisory board for the drilling of a well for oil or gas, if terms can be agreed upon by the two parties.
 To reporter for the INDEPENDENT. MT. Cowan in estimating the expense of drilling, thought pipes could be sunk for 2OOO feet at cost of about $600O.
 If he secures the contract, he purposes putting up a derrick 72 feet in height, and will order all his drill ing apparatus from St. Louis, using the regular standard oil drill such as are seen at Beaumont. If sand is struck in more than 50 foot strata. a rotary will be necessary, this ma- chine costing about 5000 of itself. Pipes 10 inches in diameter are first used in sinking these holes, which run down in solid rock to 5 5-8 inch piping.
