Will Hang July 25.

Van Buren, July 12.-Today Sheriff Hitchcock broke the news to Dave McWhorter, the condem- ned wife-murderer, that the gov ernor had refused to interfere, and the date of execution had been set for July 25. The intelligence caused McWhorter to collapse, and he has spent the time since in crying and praying. It is gener- ally predicted that McWhorter will have to be carried to the scaf- fold. He has gained considerable flesh since his incarceration.

ANOTHER LIE NAILED
Hon. r. M. Martin, Who Was One of the Judges, Says Bal
 lots We're Returned in '9S.
To the Editor of The Journal.

To the Editor of The Journal.
 In an article in the Batesville Bee of recent date a writer sign ing himself ''Wn says: -Four wears ago the conditions were the same. The same large vote, 390, and was so manipulated that the present county clerk was declared the nominee by the illegal vote of Union and Big Bottom townships. And while every township in the county brought their pool books and ballots the judges of Big Bot tom did not bring their bollots, but destroyed them in Newark, returning only the poll books. "
 The above statement by w" IS not true and he knew 1t when he wrote the article. I, myself, was one of the judges of said pri- mary election and carried the bal lots and poll books to Bates vile and delivered them to T. H. Dear ing, who was circuit clerk at the time and If the ballots never ap- peared 1t was through the manipu- lations of some trifling fellow like
 w, " for 1 put them in the hands of the circuit clerk myself.
 So far as the statement in re- gard to the present county clerk is concerned, that is falsehood, pure and simple, and no one knows better than Mr. w. that Mr. Ho- gan never received an illegal vote.
 If W. had desired to throw the proper light on the subject he would sign his name to what he had to say in regard to the matter and not hide himself behind an as sumed name. 1 will sign my name to what l have to say on the sub ject so that people may have re- ference to 1t. F. NJ. MARTIN.
 P. $. For proof as to the truthfulness of any of the above statements, refer to T. H. Dear ing, who was circuit clerk at that time. MARTIN.

SENATOR J. Ii. BERRY
Explains His Reason for Favoring Nicaragua Route as Against
 Panama for the Canal.

United States Senator James H. Berry, who is now at his home in Bentonyille, explains in the follow ing letter written in reply to re quest from the Gazette. why he voted for the Nicaragua canal route rather than for the Panama:
 "Bentonyille, Ark, July 10-I am in receipt of your letter of the Sth in which you ask me to give my reasons for voting for the Mic aragua route rather than for the Panama.
 l will state in general way that 1 believe it to be the better route. My objections to the Pan anna we're the extreme siclSly coun- try in which the canal was to be constructed; it's impracticability for sailing vessels; the great diff eulty, as stated by many eminent engineers, ill constructing the nec- essary dams to secure the requi- site amount of water; and the doubt whether or not the govern ment could secure a title from the New Panama Company that would not make us liable for the bonds and indebtedness of the old com pany.
 But if the conditions had been equal or even if there had been some advantage as to distance and cost in favor of Panama, I would still have voted for Nicaragua for the reason that it is 400 miles near CT the Southern ports than the Panama and believed it to be the better route for the people of the South.
 The democratic national con- vention, the Arkansas state con yention and the Arkansas legisla- ture had all declared in favor of Nicaragua. The people through out the Southern states had ex- pected the Nicaragua route to be adopted. There was general be- lief that many of those who favor ed Panama were opposed to any canal, and nearly all of my demo- cratic associates in the house and senate favored Nicaragua.
 These are the reasons that caused me to vote for the Nicara- qua route. ? JAMES II. BERRY.

DON'T Go TO THE CITY
A Few Timely Hints to Young People Who Tanker For Q
 Taste of Life in the City,

The constant influx of girls from the country into large cities brings with it portentious evils. Dreaming of an easy time, good wages, a better wardrobe and more congenial companions !; dazzled with the vision of city amusemeats, and hoplng, per haps, to find a marriageable part ner aud settle down into com fortable city home, thousands leave the farm or the village and flock to the metropolis, Here many of them confront a situation far different from that which they amaSined in advance of thelr act ual experience of city life. The wages they get are meager; their lodgings fal from comfortable j; they have no home life they face new temptations and trials, and their life becomes one of hard ship and trouble. In the store, factory, shop or office they are beset with danger ane annoyance, while all about them are pitfalls spread for unwary feet. Some of them, with unusual aptitude for stenography, type-writing and kindred occupations, or with fine executive gifts, make theIr Way to the top and secure first class posts but great multitude struggle and almost starve on five or six dollars a week. This lat ter class are unable to save any money l; d weeks illness brings them i'll debt, and Il month with out employment renders them ob- jects of charity.
 How much better would it be for most of them were they to stay at home, help in the house. hold, or aerept such work as might be available OH the farm OF in the village. Oul large cities now contain thousands of girls in a sorry plight, either without em- ployment or struggling for bread girls who might have remained in comfort at home, or who could have found work of some sort in a country town to support them, with less cost of strength, nerve, power and vital force-to say nothing of the dangers which now beset them Ill the city. What a kindness 1t would be to thous- ands who are helplessly planning to rush cityward ito fnd some thing to do," could d pursuasive word reach them and say Better stay at ht me. "-Exchange.

S2o2, 900. .OO FOR WHITE
Above Amount Will be Spent by Uncle Sam in Improving the
 Condition of White River,

United States Engineer G, D Fitch of the rivers of the Arkansas district, has received the approval of a part of his plans for the rivers under his supervision. The im- provements will be made from the appropriation of the last congress of $451 ,000 for the rivers and harbors of this district.
 It Is necessary for MT, Fitch to draw up plans, which he deems advisable for the expenditure of the appropriation of each river and submit them to the depart ment at Washington. There are now a number of these projects before the department, which Mir. Fitch expects to hear from in short time.
 Those which have so far been approved are for the river locks Nos 1 and } on the upper White river, and also the dams which are built Ill connection. In the case of No. l, one mile east of Bates vile, 1t Is his intention to com plete the dams, guide cribs, build the lock approach and the lock house and clear the grounds of temporary structures. In the case of No. 2, about seven miles west of Batesville, he will complete the abuttal, the lock. approaches, lay the paving behind the land wall, build and place the lock gates, kaiid cribs, the main dam and cleer the ground of temporary structures. The construction of lock 3 will be deferred,
 The cost of Nos. 1 and 3 will probably be about Sl32, ,000. The work, which will begin at an early date, cannot be finished until next year.
 It is the ultimate purpose of Mr. Fitch, as the appropriations are made from year to year, to construct q series of ten dams and their accompanying locks between NBatesyille and the mouth of the upper White, which it is estimated will cost upon completion $1, ,6o0,- 900. This would keep open navi- gation on the upper White all the year round. whereas it k now open for only few months in the cold CT season. The ten locks and dams would give the river con- stant depth of four feet. Each of the dams will be 175 feet long and S6 feet wide, with depth of five feet. They will be of the timber type filled with stone.

PREPARE FOR SMALLPOX .

To the Citizens of Paragould ;- As we are now in somewhat pre- cariOus situation as a result of the smallpox epidemic, having already nine cases in the city, and there having occurred some unavoidable exposures, we call upon you to help stamp out the terrible pest. It is utterly impossible for the Board of Health to do all that is necessary in finding out, locating the disease and suppressing it unaided by every good citizen of Paragould. While the Board of Health and the doc tors have their work to do there IS a part for every other citizen, and unless you do your part, it will of necessity go undone, and 1t may be that if you, who fail to do your part, be it what it may, will be the one to pay the penalty for neglect.
 While there is almost of necessity some friction between the people
 and the officers, 1t is not for the want of proper regard for your welfare, but 8 difference of opinion usually. We ask you to promptly report every suspicious case that it may be for the best interests of all.
 We also recommend to you to have all your families vacclnated that have not been vaccinated witE- in the past two or three years, and as far as practical avoid large gatherings, especially in houses, as there is much more danger of in lection in houses than out of doors.
 All school teachers, factory men, merchants and any one else having oversight or control of any number of children or other persons, are hereby notified to promptly dis charge or send from your place of employ or business any and all persons who are complaining of being sick in any way, or who have

FREIGHT DEPOT. That New Union Shipping Sta- ton Is About 10 Become
 a Reality.
Corps of Surveyors at Work on Grounds Today--Will be Sub-
 @.a.. stantiaIly Constructed.

The railroads have yielded to the urgent demands of the growing freight business at this point, and Paragouldians are gratifed today to see active steps being taken for the construction of the new freight depot which has been referred to at length in these columns. It looks now as if the new building were among tl @ certainties of the early future
 E. J. Nichols, chief engineer for this division of the Cotton Belt, with headquarters at Pine Bluff, has arrived in the city with corps of surveyors, and the gentlemen have been busy with rod and plummet to. day surveying the site for the new station. Mr. Nichols assistants are D. D. Cutter, rodman, and V. D. Liggett, axman. All are competent and skilled surveyors.
 Mr. Nichols states that there will be about 1900 feet of new track put down on either side of the depot platforms for the accommodation of the growing traffic at this point. The building will be erected on the north side of Court street between the Cot ton Belt and Iron Mountain tracks. about eighty yards from the present S te.
 Plans and specifications were req ceived today from J. s. Berry, super intendent of bridges and build ing, and all the details have been perfect ed for model freight building. The structure will be one story high and o,cupy ground space of 130x35 feet, exclusive of the platform that will surround the deEo'. The struc- ture will be built of brick, the floors independent of the walls and upon solid pillars, jambs mortised, and the whole finished according to up to-aate architectural planf. 1t will be in every respect credit to the city and fully adequate to the needs of the railroads at this point.

TAYLOR IN LITTLE ROCK.
Soliphone Editor Appointed to Ex-
 anime Treasurer Books.

The Little Rock Gazette of May 1 contains the following information which will be of interest to MT. Tay- Tor s friends in Greene county:
 "Hon. J. E. Taylor, editor of the Paragould Solophone, walked into the state treasurer's office yester- day morning armed and equipped" t" with commission from Acting Cow ernor Huddleston to count the cash in the coffers of the state, pursuant to the provisions of section 3271 of the Arkansas statutes, requiring a periodical examination of the treas ury. The appointment is never known to the treasurer until the ap pDintee appears in propria persona at the treasury. Mr. Taylor came in yesterday morning from Para eould and it was not long before his fellow tOwnsman, the acting govern or, had the commission made out au- thorizing Mr. Taylor to make the ex, animation required by law. When he presented himself at the treasury he was accorded a cordial reception by Col. Tipton and the others in the office.
 "Mr. Taylor pulled off his coat and went to work. But as the job of counting something like half mill lion in cash is not accom- plshed in a day, the newly appointed account ant left off work later on and will resume the task from day to day un- til it is over. Then he will file re port with the governor, as the law requires. :"
 Commenting upon the appoint ment, our neighbor, the Jonesborc Enterprise, face'iou-ly remarks:
 "We congratulate our friend Tay- Tor, but he is the first newspaper man we ever heard accused of being expert in accounts, except, perhaps expert in the matter of running ac. counts.
