Edison's wax cylinder phonograph,

source of amusement and. as well. in
commerce and the professions, repre-
sents high degree OF technlcai e1-
cellence; but when the sensltlveness
of the human ear is considered, the
| conclusion is quickly reached that an
| equal degree of sensitiveness can
never be impaired to the mechanical
wax cylinder of the phonograph. says
the Literary Digest. Numerous at
tempts have accordingly been made TO
produce new photograph. Besides
the electrochemical phonograph We
have in Poulsen's apparatus phono-
graph that is based On electromagnetic
ic principles and has the advantage OF
great constituencies and . natural
reproduction that is comparatively
free from collateral noises. Still an-
other form of photograph is described
in German technical paper, Der
Mechaniker, as follows:

of a snub nose to large, almost

ably similar to that of the human
nose during the early stages of its de-

clear idea of the appearance of the

ginning the monkeys nose has an
outspoken upward tendency, and it
continues to develop in that direction

great for it. It can no longer main

stops in most individuals before il

Germans Like Our Tobacco.

In no other country in the world
is the cigar SO popular as in Ger
many, SO much SO that it is impos-
sible to raise enough tobacco in tho
empire to supply the domestic de-
mand. Last year Germany imported
nearly 100000 worth of tobacco,
a little more than third of it COM
ing from the United States. The use
of the cigarette is rapidly spreading
in Germany. Last year $50 tons of
cigarettes were consumed, at least
five times as many as were needed
ten years ago.

SHE ORGANIZES LIBRARIES.
A Western Woman Who Has Found .
Well-Paid CallinE IN An En-
tirely New Field.

One of the oldest ca1lings filled BY
woman is that of Mrs. Elizabeth
Shuey Southwark, Of Minneapolis.
She organizes new libraries and puts
in order old libraries which have
fallen into incompetent hands, says
the New York Sun.
She has done this work for several
years, has great reputation in the
west and receives all the commissions
she can find time to execute. Mrs.
Southwark does her work by contract,
and she earns more pin money IL :
week than the average woman re-
ceives in year. US
She was trained in library work ~
the Armour institute IN Chicago, and
later became head cataloguer In
Crerar library in that city. She re-
signed, got married and was forget
ting all about library science when
she was asked by the executors Of
Bishop Perry. of Iowa, to put his IL
brary in shape for, sale, and under-
took the work.
Since then similar combinations
have poured in on her. Sometimes 5
piece of work OF this kind will keen
her employed for the greater part Of
the year.
Whenever library In the west il
found in topsy-turvy condition, 81 :
new one is to be put in shape, Mrs.
Southwark is likely to get the COM
mission to set it going properly. III
the summer she also manages i train-
ing school for librarians in connec-
ton with the University Of Mime
sofa.
To be q successful librarian or il
brary organizer Mrs. Southwark re-
Gently told q reporter woman must
be quick, must read English, French
and German and should have college
training. if possible. But, above all
these, she must be an accurate book
keeper and accountant.
II her ideas of figures are misty. NO
matter how much Of . bookworm sha
ls, she is not cut out for managing {
library. :

FRUIT GROWING.
The Profits Are Benton
County Mans Experience.

The Bentonville Sun in it's current
edition says:
"Seyeral years ago Hall Paterson
fcuit grower of Pea Ridge, Bentor
county, Arkansas, concluded that
the wisest thing be could do to meet
obligations that would come due
some years ahead, would be TO plant
a forty-acre orchard and that he
should not delay the work till an
other year. He looked ahead, hoping
to receive returns in few years to
pay off an incum brance. So he set
his forty acres in apple CRAFTS put
ting the embryo trees where they
were to permanently stand. These
CRAFTS wers Ben Davis.
"The past season these trees being
seven years old, having been carefully
tended, made q return in splendid red
apples as payment for their cultiva-
tion. An apple ouyer paid Mr.. Pat
terson 81 ,000 for tue apples on the
trees. Mr.. Patterson paid off the
debt and had money left. The pur-
chaser of the apples made money toe
and refused an advance of $500 fol
his contract. This is a striking in
stance of the reward OF good judg-
ment and enterprise. This orchard
is recognized as being one of the best
in the country. No needed care was
neglected.
"To protect the young trees from
the hot afternoon sun he sheltered
them by putting up two short pieces
of boards. nailed together in the
shape OF trough, on the southwest
side of the trees. Not tree is
missing from this orchard aud they
are remarkably even in size.

Remains of Victor Pool.

The remains of Victor Pool reached
the city this morning at four O'Clock
from the Philippine Islands, and
were sent to Cardwell on the P. S.
e. for burial.
Tee deceased was a son of POST
master J. r. Pool at Cardwell, and
be was killed two years ago while en-
gagged at army service in the Philip
pine Islands. He sustained wounds
ia a battle that resulted in bis death.
The young man enlisted with Com
pany D at this place at the Begin
ming OF hostilities and went into
camp at Chickamauga and there re-
mained until the company was mus
tered out of service. He then re-
enlisted and was sent to the Philip
pine Islands. Allen, brother of
the deceased enlisted with him and
also met death but his remains were
shipped home last year.

Boom For Walnut Ridge.

Railroad officials visited Walnut
Ridge last week and viewed the
field favorably as suitable location
for division of the Iron Mountain.
The Black Rock Blade says:
walnut Ridge is on the Drink of
big boom. On Monday, William
Cotter, general superintendent of
tue Iron Mountain railroad stopped
Ia Walnut Ridge while passing
through in his private car and began
TO talk business. AS the divisions
OF the Iron Mountain now stand there
are only two between st. Louis and
Little Rock, Poplar BlSff being the
center. The proposition now is to
make three divisions, ST. Louis to
Piedmont, Piedmont to Walnut
Ridge, Walnut Ridge to Little Rock.
This division will probably mean a
transfer of 200 men 10 Walnut Ridge
and Hoxie, or from 800 to / 900
people. This change would divide
the passenger runs about equally,
st. Louis to Walnut Ridge. Wal
nut Ridge to Texarkana. =

ANOTHER CONCERT.
The Band Boys Preparing a Second
Treat.

4 Again. the enterprising band boys
with their usual marked degree oi
alertness and spirit of progressive.
ness are making ready for big con-
cert to be given IN the near future,
and it will be one that is calculated
TO eclipse all previous efforts. No
definite date or final details Of the
affair have as yet been determined
upon but it will take place in the
near future and will be supported by
a program composed of the very best
of local talent and one that will be
entirely new and original.
The members of the band are anx-
ious to equip themselves with uni
forms and also purchase additional
Instruments, and by means of giving
entertainments hope to procure funds
that will materially assist them in
making the desired purcl ases. The
members, under the personal direc-
tion of Band Master Welch, are pro-
crossing nicely and are rapidly learn
ing new and up to- date pieces. They
manifest intense interest and there
is full attendance at each and every
meeting.
The organization now have twenty
members and among them are few
of the mem bers of the former band
that existed here long while ago.
Paragould is proud of her band
and all are glad to see the organiza-
tion take rapid strides and the
patronage accorded the recent con-
cert was sufficient evidence that the
citizens are glad to coptribute to the
support of the enterprise. The
boys propose to give their other
concert after fashion that will
merit the large patronage they will
unquestionably receive. II fact, they
propose to present one Of the clever
est propositions in the way OF an
entertainment tha. ever rambled
down the pike.
The band is all right. 1t is COM
posed of mem bers who have correct
conception of what brass band
ought to be and it is already one of
the best musical organizations in
the state.

PERRY COUNTY TRAGEDY.
A Secret Service Man Murdered Rv
Counterfeiter.

| News from Aplin, Perry county,
relates the details of a killing that
occurred Friday morning about IL
O'Clock. Samuel Childress is the
name of the dead man. James A.
! Huddleston, alias Alexander, is un-
der arrest charged with the crime.
From the particulars obtainable
from reliable sources it appears that
Childress was shot while making a
horse pack trip from Aplin to Perry
vile. He was found on the roadside
about II clock bv the mail rider,
with several bullet holes in his head
and in dying condition.
The killing is believed to be the
outgrowth Of a rather sensational
event that transpifed about two
months ago. Childress was regard
ed by the people in the community as
a sort of secret detective. Not long
ago he made trip to Texas and
shortly after his return a prominent
merchant of Casa, named Alexander,
was arrested on the charge o. coun-
terfeiting money in Texas some
twelve years ago. 1t developed that
Alexander S real name was Huddle-
ston and that he escaped from the
Paris, Tex. Jail the night before
verdict sentencing him to ten years
in the penitentiary was delivered to
the court. Nothing was heard of
him until the occurrence mentioned
above. Tie evidence against him
leading to his recent discovery was
worked up and furnished tothe Texas
authorities by Childress. Huddleston
was taken back to Paris and is re-
ported to have been sentenced to five
years in the penitentiary, but was
released about two weeks ago,
whether by a pardon or otherwise is
not known here. He Immediately
returned to Casa and instituted suit
for libel against Childress, and the
latter was under bond to appear in
just ca court at Perryville.
Friday morning Huddleston bor-
rowed a shotgun to 90 hunting. He
went in the direction of where Chill.
dress resided, so it is alleged, and
the next heard OF the affair was the
finding of Childress on the roadside.
Huddleston returned to town that
evening, when he was Immediately
placed under arrest, charged with
the crime.
Huddleston has been residing in
Perry county for the past ten years
under the name of Alexander. Dur
ing this time he amassed considera-
BILE property and was an influential
citizen, who gained the esteem and
respect Of all who knew him. No
suspicion Of anything wrong had been
entertained against him until his ar
rest recently, at which time he con-
fessed his identity and guilt of the
charge.
