A Great Peak.

Much has been said about the many different scenes in the Ozarks, but it remained for Dock Douglass of Rule to tell us all about a peak, which according to the description must indeed be an interesting place.
 In letter to TEE TRIBUNE Dock says:
 "Two miles southwest of Rule is peak from the summit of which may be seen by telescope, Selig- man, Mo-, Eureka Springs and many other distant points. This elevation is perhaps the vertex of the Ozarks, having an eleva- ton of 2000 feet. Aside from the Marble Cave in Stone county, Mo-, it is perhaps the most unique place in this mountain range. It's summit is difficult to attain by a skilled pedestrian, cascades and precipices being encountered on all sides. The finest water eX- tant is to be found here. Large caves and Impressions are to be seen, the extent of the caves having never been ascertained.
 This great peak oyerlooks the fertile valleys of the Osage on the north and east and beautiful pine forest to the west and south, producing the finest landscape in midsummer imaginable.
 Seven years ago the timber was cut from this lofty spot and since then there has grown up 9 dense thicket of brush and vines which constitute a safe habita- ton for wolves and foxes, and the
The Green Forest tribune., 1902-12-06

foxes have not been slow to take advantage of it, and as conse- quence the nearby hen roosts are often disturbed by them. It is thought to be the den of the few wolves that are to be seen occasionally in the pinery. For two seasons past a search for their young ones has been made resulting in the killing of sev- eral. Wolves have been terrors to the hogs in this locality in the past and the farmers around here still have a standing reward of S10 for wolf seal ps.
 A lone tree stands at the top- most point of the peak. It is a huge oak and presumably it has been killed by having been climb ed and scared so much by sight seers. This peak is truly a won der and is entitled to be placed, 1 believe, among the most interest," ing places in the Ozark region"

Accept Our Thanks.

Shortly after the shadows of the night had fallen (Saturday) there gathered also storm cloud not terrific, but calm and serene bearing not devastation but flour, meal, coffee, meat and other things too numerous to mention, including cash, for which things we modestly bow and return our most sincere thanks. And as you have ministered to us in temporal things praying the Giver of all things to assist us in min istering to you in spiritual things.

A SIDEWALK TO THE DEPOT.
Important Question Receiving
 Consideration of the Council.

tfnpoftanC OueStlOu NSCelNlH1
 Consideration of the Council.
 Sidewalks was the principal matter discussed by the town council at the regular meeting Monday night.
 While no definite action rela- tive to the matter could be taken at this meeting, THE TRIBUNE is gratified to note that the neces- sity of a walk from town to the depotis receiving the serious con- sideration of our town officials and such an Improvement is going to be made if ways and means can be provided.
 Alderman Porter is an enthu- siast on the subject and he be- ieves it can be done if the co-op- eration of the property owners can be had along such streets as the walk could be located without in creasing the distance.
 There are three different routes any of which could be chosen. It could follow Main street to the corner opposite the Baptist church and thence south through the Crescent addition and Blasin- game's first addition to Ninth street, which leads direct to the depot; or the turn might be made at the corner by the Star hotel, thence down South Springfield street to Ninth street, leading on to depot. Again the start might be made on the square, following Phillips avenue to Ninth street, which likewise would lead to the station. Several side turns could be made from any ef -tt}lese roalts8s without Increasing the distance, thus making it possible for a number of property owners to contest for the benefit that would be derived from such a passway.
 If the walk is built, it is safe to say that it will go where the greatest inducement is offered; that is where it can be built at the least expense to the town. Prop erty owners along any of the feasible routes can encourage the walk to come their way by build- ing the prescribed walk along their premises or by outright ao- nation to building fund. Such a walk would certainly be of great worth to the convenience of any person whose premises or even vacant lot might be touched by it, and undoubtedly every live citizen whose property could be located on this walk will do what he can reasonably to secure it.
 No special suggestion has been I made as to the material to be used and manner of building to be em- ployed, but it occurs to us, con- sidering the expense, that two 2x12 inch oak boards laid about IS inches apart would answer the purpose, using stones placed a step apart at the crossings.
 It is a long stretch of ground to be covered and will cost some money, but nothing compared q the worth, and there should be no let up on the movement Qntd 1t is secured.

Interview with Undertaken Butt

Having watched the advance ment of every interest of Green Forest with an eagle eye from the starting of the town to the present time, THE TRIBUNE was some- what interested when we learned that Undertaken Butt had pur- chased fine hearse. We won dered if the undertaking business had grown to such proportions as to justify a big expenditure of money for such a purpose.
 Judge Butt was interviewed about the matter. We ask him if he expected it to be great source of revenue to him. He said he did not, that as matter of fact he could not expect to realize any, thing scarcely upon the money he has invested in it for some years at least. He said he simply has an ambition to give the people first-class undertaking service as far as he can and he simply bought the hearse without thought of speculation
 The Judge then begin to tell us of his business in this line for the past ten years. He said that while his calls for collins and casEets had not been frequent, to be sure, that there had been no practices in the country that had been more completely revolution ized in this time than has been the use Of material for burial purposes. A coffin or casket was a novelty to the people here when he began business. That the use of home made pine- board collins during this time has gone out al- most entirely that his trade on collins and caskets now reaches out for many miles in every di- rection, even over into Missouri and the adjoining counties. The people have been so quick to take advantage of better facilities for putting away their loved ones that he believes the demand for the use of a hearse will likewise grow and that after 8 while at least,it will prove self-supporting.
 In support of his statement that he is conducting a modern undertaking business, Judge Butt called our attention to the fact that while his goods were all marked down in the reach of the common people, that he has a line of collins and caskets that would meet the demand most anywhere; that his stock of bur- ial robes for both men and women are as nice as anybody most would care to buy.
 It was also news to us when Judge Butt showed Us that he is prepared to embalm bodies. hav- ing complete outfit for that pur- pose. By the use of chemicals he can put the body into state of preservation that will keep for hundreds of years.
 Since an undertaking business is necessary adjunct for an en- terprising towns we are glad to be able to say that Green Forests facilities in this line are perhaps not equalled by any other town twice it's size in the state.

USE OF THIS VIRUS MAKES
 MAN IMMUNE TO DISEASE

New York special to New Orleans Times
 Democrat.
 The wonderful medical theory, which has just been advanced by Prof William H. Welch of Baltimore, whereby ail dis eases to which humanity is heir can be prevented, or, if already in existence, bade to speedily disappear, is most heart fly indorsed by Dr. John A. Wyeth of this city, who returned from Carlsbad and Paris on the Kron Prinz Wilhelm, and who was present when the discevarer told of his cure before the London Medi- cal college.
 Dr. Wyeth looks upon the startling statement that there can be obtained a universal virus which, once inoculated Into the system, will render the patient immune to all contagion, as perfectly logical and true.
 While discussing the remarkable dis- covery today, he said it would not be long before every physician in the world would use this new virus in preference. and to the absolute exclusion of any other drugs.
 Dr. wyeth talked of the cure as no longer theory. but an established fact He said:
 Science has always held in regard to immunization of the human race from disease that what is true of any one dis ease. both as to cause and to immunza- ton from its effects. must be true of all

COST OF AN ARTIFICIAL MAN.
An English Army Surgeon Has Cal
 culated 1t at $65o.

From nn Exchange.
 An English surgeon, who had to mend from head to feet more than one sol- dier mutllated in the late Boer war. has amused himself by calculating what an entirely artificial man would cost, Hcre Is the result. which is really interesting:
 A pair of arms costs s1s, or 800. and with artificial hands esS (s19o) Art!cu- lated legs come to $40 and false metallic nose to about s10O. For S1a0 one can get two ears with tympanums and drums. A windpipe with palate in platinum costs from $40 to 800, and the eyes s3o.
 Briefly, the expenses which would at- tend the restoration of a veteran, so wounded everywhere that, theoretically, he would still live. would amount to R1SO, or about $650. This Is really evry little. and it Is seen that things have greatly diminished since the time of Captain Cas- tagnette of imperishable memory. but that noted soldier went beyond the list of the English doctor by having whole face from the siiversmith's. It is well known that one of the most celebrated French generals has worn for many years an abdomen of silver to replace the one which an unfriendly bullet carried

HOW MRS. ROOSEVELT TRAVELS,

From the Detroit Free Press.
 Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt is thoroughly democratic, as well as self-reliant. She showed that when she passed through New York recently on her way to Wash ington to meet the President. She came up from Oyster Bay to Long Island City, walked aboard ferryboat and sat In the ladies' cabin with hundreds of other pas-- sengers, few of whom recognized her, and on reaching the New York side of the East river entered a public auto- mobile with her maid. The machine sped across town to the West Twenty-third street ferry house and another ferry ride took Mrs. Roosevelt to the Pennsylvania railroad depot fin Jersey City, where she caught a train for Washington. She looked a little worried, presumably on account of the Presidents indisposltion, but did not put on anything like as many '''scallops' as the negro attendant on the boat, who usually glares at passengers as if she owned the craft and has a good big slice of the Pennsylvania railroad into the bargain.

MoReAN's HUGE COMMISSION.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 Jay Cooke. one of the greatest of Amer ican financiers, negotiated nearly all of the immense loans issued by the United States government during the civil war. The banking firm of which he was the head handled over s2, oOO.0 oo00O for the government, and it's profits. it is said, did not exceed s200.0Oo. What would have been J. P. Morgan's profits If that astute fnancier had been engaged by the gov ernment to float a series of loans amount ing to 5000 0O0.0 GOO? It has been stated that MT. Morgan received about s1OO. 0Oo.- coo for financing tine United States Steel Corporation with a capital Of about s1,- 400, 100000. In another transaction his profit on a $200,000 GOO transaction was es- timated at $10000. GOO. Either Mir. Morgan has cause to be astounded at MT. Cooke's moderation or Mir. Cooke would be justi- fled in expressing astonishment at the very high value which Mir. Morgan places upon his services. If Mir Morgan had financed the steel company at the same rates at which MT. Cooke handled the governments loans during the civil war he would have received only Si40,000 for his share in the transaction. On the other hand, if the government had paid Mir. Cooke as handsomely for his services as MT. Morgan is reported to have been paid by the steel company Mir Cooke would have netted nearly s150.o00, 900.
