Tribvte To Judge McCaleb.

A dispatch from Mammoth
Spring to the Arkansas Democrat
says:
Court is now in session at Sa-
lem, the county seat of Fulton
county. This will be the last
term of court presided over by
Judge j. B. McCaleb. For the
past eleven years Judge McCaleb
has graced the bench of this dis.
trict. He has made a most ex.
cellent judge and retires one of
the most popular officials, under
the benediction, "Well done, thou
good and faithful servant"

kind and arniable disposition, and
knew nothing but to do good. In
school he was always indus
trious, obedient and manifested
a high mark of intelligence. II
was his good fortune and highest
delight to be loved and respected
by his teacher and all his play
mates.
He was a forbearing and patti
ent boy. Even while his vital
powers were being destroyed by
that stealthy disease, typhoid
fever, he bore it without a mur-
mur. Now while his body is rest
ing in the cemetery at Flat Rock,
his spirit has taken its flight to
realms where there is no sickness,
sorrow or death. Although by
his death the family circle is left
with a vacant chair and sore
hearts, they may console them
selves in the remembrance of the
divine injunctions Of Him who
said: "Suifer little children to
come unto me and forbid them
not for such is the kingdom of
heaven;" and "Exceptye become
as a little child ye shall in no
way enter the kingdom of
heaven"
And, though, he is gone the
sweet influence of his life re-
mains, and will be an inspiration
to his father, mother, brothers
and sisters to lift them heaven
ward and Godward and be a
bright and shining star lighting
their paths to that reunion beyond
the shores Of time where there
will be no more parting,

Banner Snake Story.

Ozark, August 30.-For ten
years a large water moccasin
snake has been seen in a pond
seven miles south of Ozark, where
the Ozark C Waldron road crosses
Hurricane Creek, no one being
able to get close enough to kill it.
A few days ago Fielder and
Oscar Hill, the 10 and 12-year
old sons of Sam Hill, a well-to- do
farmer, were driving slowly along
the road when they saw the
snake asleep. They stopped the
wagon and slipped out to where
the snake was, and as they
thought, killed it. They then
tied a rope around its neck and
dragged it into the wagon. After
going about half a mile one Of
the boys, looking around saw the
snakes head raised and coming
towards them. They jumped out,
grabbed clubs AMI killed it. The
snake was six or seven feet in
length and eighteen inches in
circumference. After taking the
rope off the snake when they
reached home, a young snake
about eight inches long ran out
OF the large snakes mouth, then
another, and after a thorough
skaking others, until the small
snakes numbered about fifty.

THE ELECTION.
Democracy Wins, while Myers Defeats
6reayeS.

! Democracy is again triumphant
in Arkansas, and the party Of the
people will continue in power for
at least two years more. OF the
result, Wednesdays Little Rock
Gazette says;
Further returns from Mondays
election indicate that the predic-
ton of a reduced vote as COM
pared with 1900 will be verified.
A popularity Of the vote this
year so far as received complete,
though unofficial, is that though
there is a large decrease in the
vote in nearly ever instance the
loss accrues to the Republicans.
Though he is running behind the
ticket in some counties, in very
few does Gov. Davis seem to
have suffered loss from his vote
of two years ago, Jefferson coun-
ty being perhaps the only one in
which the loss is noticeable. In
Pulaski county he ran 800 votes
ahead of two years ago, and the
Republican split ticket suffered a
loss Of the same vote.
Figuring form the meager re-
lures at hand it would seem as
if the total vote of Monday will
be decreased about 10 per cent,
from 132,979 to between 115,00(
and 10000. Of this number il
is estimated from returns receiv-
ed yesterday and the manner ir
which the vote seems to have
gone, that Davis will receive {
a little less than his vote two
years ago, or about $4,000 votes
while the Republicans combined
will receive about 10000 anc
Kimball 10000. Of the Republi
can vote, Myers will get about X
per cent.
The vote of Kimball, the Pro
hibitionist candidate, is a great
surprise, and if he runs as vel
in the other counties as he has il
the few which have reported h
will get nearly as many votes a

During the Interruptions at the

Among the measures proposed
for consideration by the legisla-
ture of Mississippi is a law pro-
hlbiting the game of baseball
during the cotton picking season,
and notwithstanding the oddity
of the measurer, it is attracting
attention in all parts of the state.
The Mississippi legislators say
the average negro always begins
to manifest "a lively interest in
baseball about the time cotton
picking begins, and he cannot be
gotten into the fields. In one
small town the other day nine
games were in progress at one
time, and the Legislature believes
it its duty to have a hand in the
matter,

THE RESULT IN SHARP.

AT the time of going to press
the Record cannot give the official
returns from the various town.
ships Of Sharp county, several
townships not having reported
yet. A very light vote was poll
ed all over the county. The
county has gone largely for the
democratic state ticket, and in
the governors race Myers has
received many more votes than
Greaves. Turner for representa-
tive AMI Roe for assessor, the
only republican candidates for
county positions, have been
badly defeated. Road tax has
carried in the county by a safe
majority. Amendment No. 7 is
badly defeated in the county.
The vote on whisky license is
close, and will require the official
count, though it is more than
probable license has been voted
out. The election commissioners
will meet tomorrow to canvas the
returns, and next week the Rec
ord will contain a tabulated
statement of the vote by town
ships.

PLAN FOR OCCUPYING
ANALOS9AN ISLAND
Wanted as Site for Municipal
Isolation Hospital.
Senator GaIlinger to Propose Amend
ment to District Appropriation Bill,
Agitation Begun IN 1896.

The proposed purchase Of AnaIostan
Island as q site for municipal isolation
hospital has again been brought TO the
attention of Congress- and the District
Commissioners The Commissioners have
received from the Senate District Com
mittee copy of an amendment to be
proposed by Senator GaIlinger, to the
District appropriation bill, providing that
the Commissioners be empowered and d.
rected to acquire the island. They may
secure it by purchase from the owners
at cost not to exceed $1zs, 200, or by con-
demEation proceedings conducted in &C
cordance with the terms OF the act which
provided for the securing OF an eligible
site for the new city Postofiee building
The proposition to purchase the island
was brought before Congress in 1896 and
again in 1900, when Senator GaIlinger
proposed an amendment TO the appropFia-
ton bill the same as that now offered
The Commissioners reported adversely on
the amendment In 1900, saying that while
it might be convenient On general DriR-
cfpIes for the District TO own AnaIostan
Island. they were aware Of no municipal
purposes to which the property could then
be devoted. In view Of the extraordinary
demands then being made upon the Bis
triet revenues, the Commissioners deemed
it fnadvisable to recommend favorable
consideration
In report on the subject at that
time, special committee reported:
"Analostan Island appears upon the
books OF the assessor as containing sew
enty-fve acres, assessed at $500 per acre,
making the total assessed valuation s37.-
5oo- If purchased by the Governmentaun-
der condemnation proceedings. 1t would
probably bring three times it's assessed
value or s1I2. 500
The probable total cost Of the island
IN condition to use as site for an iso-
iation hospital would be 1921 $50"
