The Green Forest tribune., 1901-10-26

Three different parties have had Green Forest billed during the past week to buy mules and none of them have gone away empty handed, al- though the stock of surplus donkeys in the county really seemed exhausted weeks ago. All buyers together must have purchased more than car load, which means about S2,0G0 more money has come into the country on account of our mule crop.
 The members of the family of w. C.. Russell are becoming somewhat uneasy on account of the fact that they lave re- ceived no word from Martin Russell, who is in the Philippines, fer about four months. The last report heard from him he was in critical condition in the hospital suffering from chronic diar- rhea contracted while in the army, from which he was mustered out March 1 |, last. His folks do not know what to make of so long a silence on his part.
 Part of the long string of wagons that were headed fer the territory and Oklahoma some weeks ago have re- turned, and others are passing through nearly every day. Ore mover yelled out when he reached the square in Green Forest Tuesday that "Arkansas is pretty tough old state, but she beats the territory mighty bad" Many who left here the past summer would be ex- ceedingly glad to be back here before the winter is over.
 Dr. K. c. Lanter, well-known and well respected by tie people of Green Forest, writes from his home in Cres- ton, Wash, enclosing dollar for THE TRIBUNE and says: "I find THE TRIBUNE absolutely indispensable to my well-be- ing. Have learned to look fer it's com- ing as if it was letter from home. ]" The doctors Green Forest friends will be delighted to know that he is still en- toying health and prosperity in his adopted home.

 "You need a licking," remarked a New York justice to an abusive pris- oner who refused to answer questions put to him. The prisoner replied that he knew of no one who could give it to him, whereupon the justice, after considerable give-and- take pummelling, made the prisoner confess that he had become acquainted with the man who could do it. And then the justice sent him to jail. And this occurred not in Chicago nor Cheyenne, but in New York.-Boston Herald.

RAILROAD DEAL PERFECTED

Chicago, May 1.-The Record-Her- aid says: It is stated on apparently good authority that the deal for the sale of the Wisconsin Central has been perfected in London and will be car ried through in the course of q few weeks. The price at which the trade is to be made is said to be 66, which is considerable in advance of the present market price of Wisconsin Central stock.

General Chaffee, another administra- ton pet, has shown how unfitted he is for the command of the American army in the Philippines, to which he W& succeed as soon as he arrives at Manila, by making the worst sort of a break on the eve of his departure from China-a break that adds to the en- mfty already too plainly shown toward Americans by all the powers in China except the English. It was at an en- tertainment given by English officers, and doubtless Chaffee had looked upon the wine when it was red, but that was no excuse for him. He was sent to China on a purely military errand, and yet he made speech in which he used the following language: Let kings, ministers and politicians say what they may, but I can tell you this, that never will you see AmericansGnd Britishers facing each other in the field. Our national policy my be to steer clear of international complied tions, but should circumstance arise in which we must make a choice our fn- clination will be with the Britishers." Language like that, used by the com mander of the American troops in China, was an uncalled for insult to every power over there except the English, and Chaffee deserves to be court martialed for it. But no official notice has, been taken of it by this gov
 ernment. and none is likely, unless it be forced by the insulted powers.

The Fly settned the Question.

At a recent meeting of the Entomo- logical society in London the president MT. G.. H. Verrall, Mold an amusing story to prove. that a knowledge of insects may even be useful in settling questions in literary history. Com mentators on the works of Robert Louis Stevenson were trying in vain to discover whether the notes made by him in a certain book were written before or after he took up his resi- dence in Samoa. It happened that a fly had been squeezed between the pages, and when Mir. Verrall saw it he instantly recognized it as belong ing to a species peculiar to the Poly nesian islands. That settled the ques- tion.-Yo outh's Companion.

 Tt set my teeth on edge" the hus- band said, ssto hear the orchestra playing Yankee Doodle and Dixie at the same time. The idea is all right, of course, and even commend able from sentimental point of view, but the two pieces, when played together, are full of discords.''
 "But didn't you notice,'' said his wife, who is something of musician herself, "that where certain notes or passages would have been discordant they were omitted from one air or the other, and left to the drums?n
 "Of course I noticed it," he testify rejoined, "but I could hear the dis cords in my mind just the same. Achl"-Y Youths Companion.

Speaking of the wild state of the stock market in New York Thursday, Henry Clews says in his weekly let ter: "These were the beginnings of the violent disentanglement of the con- fusion into which Wall street interests have been wrought. The process in- volved some immense losses on the 'corner.' To some, they Q could be counted by Jumps of millions, and the total is estimated at 40s00O,000 to $70,- 000000g but they were chiefly borne by miMonaires and therefore involved file of minor operators the losses of the first day of the reaction were not in themselves very serious and might, under less deranging conditions, have been esaily repaired. But credit was irreparably broken, and margins were shattered. For some time past the sole stay of the market had been gauzy and highly strained confidence, which Wednesdays yiolences had torn to shreds. What remained then to l1c Ol luG 4OCdl lltAOT spectators and of the still more nu- merous outsiders of the interior who had already exhausted their resourses in margins and had no means of self protection? This corner came, too, at moment when the money market was becoming sensitive; loans in the street were at the moment being made at 20 and 40 per cent; foreign exchange was admitting of free exports of gold; brokers were demanding an increase in margins from the standard rate of 10 per cent to 20 per cent, and the banks had become really apprehensive about the aspects of the Situation. Moreover, the corner had started alarm in every direction, and, in the face of such conditions, an element of 30 to 50 per cent of fictitious value in the current prices of securities had to be maintained upon an already vio- lently strained credit. The market is now in a fair way of recovery, and higher prices generally may be expect ed for the coming week at least''

DRUGGED HIS MOTHER.
Story of the Two Boys Who Had Read
 Dime Novels.


 Putnam, May 1.-Chief-of-Po Police John Bigbee of Cranston, R. l., came here to-day for Wyatt Allen and George Haskins of Auburn, R. T., the two youngsters who were arrested here yesterday afternoon for having nearly $40O in their possession, and who were headed for Buffalo to do the big show. Chief Bigbee said that Haslzins chloro- formed his mother yesterday and that she came very near to death.
 On being questioned Haskins said he and Allen had been talking over the scheme for nearly two weeks. He had told Allen that his mother had a large amount of money in drawer in her to get it. Wednesday night Allen gave him a bottle of chloroform, tell ing him it was perfumery, and to sat urate handkerchief and put 1t over his mothers face so she would sleep well. Allen also gave him dirk knife, telling him to use it if his mother awoke. Allen also told him that when he got the money he was to come to his (Allens) home and he would have a string hanging out of his bedroom window. hitched to his big toe. Haskins could pull it and awaken him and they would then skip to Buffalo.
 About 4 o'clock yesterday morning Haskins put handkerchief with chloroform near his mothers head. He then took $500 from the drawer, but in his haste he dropped on the floor 8 package containing $1O0. He left the. dirk and the bottle of chloroforrn on the dining room table and went after Allen.
 They got as far as this city, as relat- ed in to-day's Courant. Allen told the chief that he had read every dime no vel he could get and had loaned them to Haskins. He was going to be Jesse James, jrsif he got the chance.
 Chief Bigbee took them to Cranston this afternoon. City Attorney Johnson turned over to Chief Bigbee $37O, so only $50 had been spent. Allen has a bad record in Auburn. While here, it is said, he wrote letter to Charlie Adams, pal of his in Auburn, advis- ing him to rob his father and meet them in Buffalo.

For Me. For Me.

Fardown the street.-the darkened street- Far through the storm and gloom, A wavering light tells me tonight
 'Tis Alice in her room, And in the voice of wind and rain
 l wonder could there be A message from her dear, dear lips
 For me, for mel Far down the street-no other light
 The darkness now dispels; The low-drawn shade, the feeble ray, story trembling tells; The storm may rage and dangers rife May dwell on land and sea, My darling waits in safety there
 For me. for me. -R. B. Thompson. in Metropolis (Ill.) Her-

Well, the Hanna banner has been raised, and the Hanna boom for the republican nomination for president in 1904; is n the road. It wili strike many as having been very fittingly started in London, from whence Han mas two administrations as brevet- president has been so strngly endorsed. Senator Hanna was in Washington lwhen Perry Heath's London interview launching the boom was published. He denies being candidate for presi- dent, but he does it so jovially that everybody can see that he is tickled almost to death with the idea. Noone who knows the relations between Perry Heath ans Hanna and those be- tween Hanna and MT Mckinley will believe that the Heath interview was a surprise to either of the other two men, and there is little doubt that the full power ef the administration, through the army of federal office holders will be exercised to push the Hanna boom along and make his nom inatiop possible, unless the republican press attacks it so viciously that its impracticabflity will be made plain. That is what democrats fear. So democrat has been found since the boom was started who does not sin cerely hope that Hanna will get the nomination. Democrats wish him to get it, not only because they think he would be easy to beat, but because they would enjoy beating him more than any other man that cous4 pessibry be nominated. The Heath interview is in reality feeler of the republican pulse, especially of the editorial pulse. So that it depends on How it is re- ceived by the republican editors wheth- CT the Hanna boom will be withdrawn or pushed.
