The Green Forest tribune., 1901-03-23

All the expense of operation is for lubricating oil, and the ma- chine will run until it is worn out, without any attention except to check it when not in use.
 The plan is simple. There is one upright axle, about which is constructed a worm, arranged so that it winds quite closely. Held against this worm are case- hardened steel balls, kept there by groove, out of which they cannot move sideways. At the base of this is a cog wheel mov- ing in the same direction as the worm, and this works into an- other cog wheel, which operates another upright axle, upon which is another worm. The second worm is only one sixth the di- ameter of the first one, and the coils of the worm are four times as far apart.
 The principle of the machine is that while four balls are descend ing on the large worm one ball is being forced up on the small one, and moves up with four times the rapidity with which it had come down. This keeps four balls ascending while one is be- ing elevated, and after it has ascended it drops back again to connect with the large worm. There is governor at the top to check the speed of the machine.
 MT. Simmons has a model, a very small affair, to which he has attached a sewing machine, but even with this he finds too much power.
 It is estimated that these ma- chimes may be made to develop high power, although the cheap ness of construction would prob ably favor more machines and not such large ones, where great power is needed. The larger and taller these machines the greater the gravity and a consequent increase in speed and power.

Two Tickets.

The town election in Green Forest this year will perhaps have more life in it than usual, there being two full tickets in the field.
 On Thursday of last week a petition was circulated asking that the following Independent Ticket be placed on the official ballot.
 For Mayor, A. J. Russell.
 For Recorder, c. c. O'Neal.
 For Aldermen; A. J. Cox, A. J. Tabor, T. o. Walker, L. E. Harbert and c. A. Ramsey.
 On Monday another ticket was certified up to the Board of Election Commissioners as fol- lows:
 For Mayor, B. B. Eslinger.
 For Recorder, T. F. Shuler.
 For Aldermen; G. R. Blasin- game, J. F. Walker, M. V. Lightburn, L. V. Porter and E. s. Foreman.
 It is the duty of every voter in the town to study both tickets closely and exercise their very best judgement in selecting the officers of the town for the ensu- ing year.

Stock Law Adopted.

Following is the text of House Bill No. 51 by Mr. Powell:
 An act to provide for stock law in the counties of Sebastian, Crawford, Boohe, Scott, Searcy, Carroll, Marion and that part of Franklin county south of the Ar kansas river and to prevent hogs from running at large in said counties. It contains eight sec- tions and was approved March 5, 1901. Section 1provides for a spe- cial election, if seen necessary, by the county court, and if not then, the question to be submitted at the general election to decide whether or not the provisions of the act shall be adopted in the re- spective counties named. Section 2requires the county clerk to make publication of the order calling
 said election, and that if ''for the
 fence law" receives majority of all the votes cast then it shall be unlawful for any hogs, sheep, geese or goats to run at large in such counties. Section 3 declares that the owners of any cultivated land in said counties may impound any hog, sheep, goose or goat run hing at large thereon. Section 4 requires notice in writing to be given to owner of such animals, if known, when impounded. Sec tion 5 provides that any person impounding said stock shall be entitled to 10 cents per day for hogs and 5 cents for each sheep, goose or goat. Section 6 author izes the impounder to sell said stock if owner refuses to pay said impounding fees. Section 2 says any fence made of four wires, se- curely attached to posts and in- tervening trees not more than eight feet apart shall be lawful fence in any county provided in this act where said fence law is in force. Section 8 repeals all laws in conflict and makes the act in force from and after it's passage.

Mrs. Nations Husband.

MT. Nation, of Medicine Lodge, Kan, now known to fame as the husband of Mrs. Carrie Nation, the saloon ''smasher, is an elder ly country lawyer. He is man of almost venerable appearance, and is said to be thoroughly in sympathy with the crusade which his wife has undertaken. He takes no active partin her raids, but has advised her that she can not be punished for destroying the illegal property of the saloon keepers. He usually accompa- nies her on her trips about the state. MT. Nation is the second husband of his wife, her first hus- band having died years ago from the effects of excessive drinking. Mrs. Nations maiden name was Moore. She was born in Ken lucky and was a schoolmate in her girlhood of the United States Senator Blackburn. Her mother, it is said, died in an asy- lum, her delusion being that she was Queen Victoria. At her home in western Kansas the Na- tions have been prominent for ten years in the fight on saloons and Mrs. Nation raided her first "joint' as long ago as 1891. Mrs. Nation is a physician.

RODE ON THE CARS.
Tribune Scribe Takes Run Up
 to the Springs.

O oAA> AA&3os
 Through the courtesy of Mas ter Mechanic Orr of the railroad company, J. L. Russell of THE TRIBUNE was given a trip on the construction train to Eureka Springs and return since our last issue.
 It was the most delightful jour- ney we have ever experienced between these two points. Some two hours time was consumed in making the trip each way. The track on this end of the line is now in fair condition and will already permit a speed of 10 to 15 miles an hour. Of course, there are yet some weak places that have to be guarded, but for the most part the trains run quite smoothly.
 Beyond Freeman station the road has been 'ballaated and is al- most as solid as an old line. The work of ballasting isbeing pushed with all possible speed, and it is probable that the entire line will be in safe condition for 20 miles an hour as soon as regular trains are put on.
 There are three sidings between Green Forest and the junction with the old line. The first is To- cated at Braswell Spring, about five miles from town. Atpresent this switch is only temporary, but it is stated that the company in tends to put in a permanent switch here.
 At Freeman, which is ,some- thing over ten miles away, is To- cated the next one. Here is the junction of the Berryville branch. About 200 feet of track on this line has been laid, and is used by the company for side-track pur- poses. The next switch is out beyond Kings River near White Elm church. It is styled Grand View and is aptly named, for this point presents fine view of the country surrounding. Grand View is located in a rich farming section and it would not be sur- prising if quite town is built up there in course of time. No buildings are located there as yet, however, as is also the case at Freeman. The section hands at Freeman are living in tents. At the west approach of the tunnel is Harrington switch. At this point there is one house in which resides the Watchman at the tun- nel.
 The tunnel which has long been the burden of the railroad company and the talk of the peo- pie must be seen to be appreciat- ed. It is more than pen picture can show, and THE TRIBUNE will not attempt the task since we are confident that majority of our readers will see it in person be- fore the road has been in operation any great length of time.
 The country traversed by the new line is all that could be de- sired from a scenic point. It is certainly unexcelled by few other roads in the United States in this respect.

OFFICIALS ARE ENRAGED.

kai1road Company After Cu1prits Who Obstruct the Track. The officials of the railroad pmpany are very much wrought 10 over the work of culprits, who ave placed Instructions upon be track between Green Forest nd Freeman. In one or two in- bances ties have been piled up- h the track, while spikes and bcks have been laid upon the kils a number of times, and Irecks havebeen narrowly avert- Fl. In each instance the rolling lock has been more or less @maged.
 Mt is hard to understand why ny one should be guilty ofsuch a bstardly deed. Nothing can pssibly be gained by it, while De damage that might come from bch an act is almost inestima- le.
 $ The company is going to spare <either time nor means in an ef- Srt to bring thes offenders to
 stice. Itwould not be Srprising
 enough has already been bne to land somebody in the enitentiary.
 H Manager West issued the fol- Iwing circular last Monday,
 hich offers 8 reward for the ap-
 ehension of any person guilty
 placing any obstruction upon
 e track:
 The St. Louis and North Arr &nsas Railroad company will &y S25.00 upon proof furnished fend which shall lead to the
 nviction of any person guilty 1 placing ties, spikes or any 8her obstruction upon it's track. g he Arkansas statute provides, 'sRtion 1858- 1859 Sandel and . %Digest:
 V kery person who shall will A Snd maliciously place an \s)y.Sy ytion, by stones, logs or ,NgNkher thing, on the track of f4yRf ad, or shall tear up or re- Eve, or burn or destroy, any x2# of any railroad or the works hefeof, with intent to obstruct h0 passage of car or cars 6&feon, or to throw them off the k, shall, upon conviction, be 8Hrisoned in the penitentiary 6Esa period not exceeding twenty

 Persons have already put ties, 9cks, spikes and other obtsuc- 0ns upon the road between Eu-
 A Springs and the end of the fw Zine. Should death result, hich it probably will, from Iese unlawful acts, the parties fending would be guilty of mur- sr The railroad company will mre no time nor expense to Nish those guilty of this out
