SMALLPOX SPREADING.

There does not appear to be any abatement in the smallpox epidemic in Poplar Bluff for Dr. George Adams, local health officer, reported this morning that there were five cases in the city.
 Those ill with the disease are two sons of Wm. Baumhoefer, 1O-year- old son and an older brother, Henry. w. G. McPheeters is i'll with the dis ease in the Potter house on Pine street; child of MT. Garner, resid- ing in East Poplar Bluff, and colored woman in one of Ruth S Mengeps houses, opposite the residence of O.. o. Fisher. None of the cases are se- rious, except that of Henry Baum hoefer, whom Dr. Adams pronounces to be in very bad way.
 Dr. Adams has caused all the houses to be placarded and the necessary quarantine regulations have been es- tablished.
 The health authorities claim to be somewhat hindered in the proper treatment of smallpox on account of the opposition of one or two members of the city council. Such action de- serves the condemnation of all, espec- tally when the opposition threatens to endanger the citizens of the city, Poplar Bluff Sentinel.

IS THE I. 0. INTERESTED?

1t is stated that the Illinois Central has bought the St. Paul branch of the Frisco system running east from Fay
 etteville. It is also rumored that the road now building west from Fayette
 vile into the Indian Territory is also an Illinois Central scheme. It is a known fact that the promoters of the last mentioned railroad have engaged several hundred convicts of the penitentiary for railroad labor, and that they have completed the road west as far as the state line. As they cannot take the convicts out of the state, it is reasonable to believe that since they have engaged the convicts they expect to build their road east. This will bring them over the old Great Eastern route, surveyed through here some years ago by civil engineer Geo. W. Chase, and come by way of Har- rison, Melville and Mountain Home on out south by way of White river. It has long been known that the Illinois Central has wanted to get into this country and this is no doubt the scheme. Springfield Republican.

CONGRESSMAN BRUNDIDGE.

Congressman s. Brundidge, Jr., has announced through the INDEPENDENT his candidacy for reelection to con- gress in this, the second congressional district of Arkansas.
 He has for several terms represent ed the sixth district, but under the recent apportionment, he finds him. self in the second district and Jackson county becomes a part of his consti- tuency, being changed from the first.
 Though he has never been our repre- sentative in congress, few of our people are not acquainted with his honorable career and unaware of the distinction he has achieved in the national legislative hall.
 The regard in which he has eve been held by his former district is tes- timony sufficient of the appreciation of those who know him best. He has never failed to show that the interests of his constituents are close to his heart and with mind naturally bril- liant and capable of intelligently studying national issues, he has added furthermore an experience and ac- quaintance which make him infiuen- tial and a powerful conservator of the interests of his people.
 But most of all he is ever loyal to both his party and his friends. He has not been f1attered and spOiled bv the hon. ors thrust upon him, but like a truly great man, has preserved his simplic- ional labors. He is hard worker and looks closely after legislation affec6- gress recalls innumerable instances of what his vigorous activity and jealous watchfulness have Accomplished.

STOCK SUFFERING.

The recent cold spell and sleet has done considerable damage to stock raisers in this part of the country. The Star Ranch & Land Co.,, of Neely- vile, has been one of the heaviest losers. This company reports the death of over eighty head of cattle within the last four weeks from cold and starvation, while Messrs. Robt. Floyd, R. Kirkpatrick and H. H. Hart have lost large number.
 The forest fires of last fall burned off most all of the range, which at it's best was very poor, and when the re- cent sleet fell and covered what little the fires had left, the cattle were abso- lutely deprived of anything at all to eat.
 To add to the bad condition of af- fairs the streams have been frozen for about four weeks and this, too, has added to the suffering of the stock.
 It is said that the cattle are all in a very bad condition and that they often slip and fall on the ice and being so thin in flesh they soon become chilled and are then helpless and die in very short while. The different owners have large forces of men in the woods hunting for their cattle and are putt ting them up and feeding them. Hogs are reported to be in equally as bad a fix in Ash Hill township. Poplar Bluff Sentinel.

even know what they are used for The new rules which went into effect Saturday, provide for the use of signal fusees. When train is late in the night fusee is ito be lighted and stuck in the ground on the track. The fusee will burn with bright red light for five or ten minutes, accord ing to the size. The train following the belated train must not pass fusee until it is burned out, thus insuring that it will run at least five or ten minutes behind the late train, accord ing to the length of the fussees burn ed. The fusees are made of magne- sium and other substances and cannot be extinguished by wind or rain. The use of these fusees has prevented many wrecks on the Frisco and the company will compel the old Memphis freight men to use them.

Some excitement prevailed upon the streets of Brinkley Thursday morning when the fact became gener- ally known that smallpox had broken out among the families of the railroad negroes living in East Brinkley, near the plant of the Arkansas Cotton Oil Company. Mayor Cameron, in com pany with Drs. Terry and Murphy, visited the infected district and re- ported five cases of very mild form, and that none of the patients who had developed the disease were in bed.

The oleomargarine fight, which is now in progress in the house, recalls the fact that many years ago, when Senator Ingalls, was in the senate. oleomargarine was a bone of conten- tion. The debate led Ingalls, to utter one of those epigrammatic sentences which made him famous.
 "I have never, to my knowledge, tasted oleomargarine," said Ingalls,, "but have stood in the presence of genuine butter with awefor it's strength and reverence for it's antiquity.

LOCAL IN BRIEF.

The two candidates for prosecuting attorney, Hons. w. A. Oldfield and H. L. Ponder, have made an appointment for speaking here Saturday afternoon.
 Mrs. Narcis Mayhan and son John came down Tuesday morning from Newark on visit to J. R. Mayhan and family. John Mayhan leaves to- day to visit his brother and sister in Little Rock.
 Senator J. K. Jones returned from Batesville Wednesday afternoon and spent the night here, leaving Thurs day morning for points south. While in Newport, he called upon number of his friends and talked over the sen- atorial situation. He appears both in good health and good spirits, and gives no indication of losing sleep from fears of another successor, but we can't always sometimes never tell, and James P. Clarke may yet be the man. Senator Jones at least does not feel so secure that he may remain at Washington, D. O., to attend to his duties.
 Dr. Ford Willis, who has been sick since Saturday with pneumonia, con- tracted by exposure from long drive the day before in Oil Trough bottom, passed very restless night. He was delirious part of Tuesday and We'd nesday, nor did he improve during the night. Nitro glycerine was injected Thursday morning to give the heart action. He has the hopes and prayers of our people for his recovery. Tn the afternoon, he was resting easy and the fever had declined.
 The office of the ticket agent at the Iron Mountain hobo depot is beingre- arranged, preparatory to placing the desks of the operator and train dis patcher therein. One would think the Iron Mountain was bankrupt and in the hands of a receiver from the econ- omy or rather parsimony evident in the depot accorded Newport. Carne- gie or some other philanthropic mill ionaire should be petitioned to turn his benevolence upon these rich and soulness corporations, in donations for depots, for at present the traveller upon the Iron Mountain is indeed fit object of charity, when he must wait for trains in such shacks as at New port. And bad as they are, they have one other damning feature. They seem special property of the side-doo sleeper and bunkers traffic, as the buns occupy all the seats, absorb all the heat and all they give in return is an indecent odor and never pay one cent in fare.
