FROM SAINT JOE TO HOXIE.
Memphis Paper Reports St. l.. X
 N. A. Eastern Connection.

A late issue of the Memphis Evening News contains the fol- lowing concerning the eastern connection of the St. Louis & North Arkansas railroad which it gives to the public with a great deal of confidence:
 'To improve the passenger service from Memphis to Eureka Springs, the Frisco is now build ing a new line, which, when com- pleted, will reduce the distance between Memphis and the resort by over 100 miles. This great saving in distance will be accom- plished by the building of less than fifty miles of new road.
 The present route from Mem phis is to Springfield, Mo-, 282 miles, thence to Seligman, Mo-, 75 miles, and thence on a branch line to the Springs, about twen- ty-three miles. This branch line extends east from Seligman, full ly seventy five miles to St. Joe, Ark. The Frisco now has a line under construction from Hoxie, Ark, west to St. Joe, less than fifty miles. This line will be completed, according to present plans, in time for the opening of the summer-resort travel. Hoxie is eighty six miles west of Mem phis on the main line to Kansas City. The completion of the Hoxie- St. Joe link will make a direct line west from Memphis to Eureka Springs, with the great saving in distance between the two points.
 The Frisco is already plann ing it's passenger service from Mem phis to Eureka Springs for next summer. The Frisco fast night train west will carry an extra Pullman sleeping car to Hoxie, where it will be cut off. It will be carried to Eureka Springs over the new line from that point by the local passenger. train which will be operated to connect with the Birmingham-K Kansas City fast trains at Hoxie and the St. Louis- Paris fast trains at Selig- man.

Braswell Spring School Closing

The closing exercises will be conducted on Friday and Friday night of Nov. '. My short stay among the people and pupils of Braswell Spring has been to me both profitable and very pleasant. The pupils of this school are to be highly congratulated upon their good department, close ap- plication to study and rapid ad- vancement, and the respect and kindness they have shown me since 1 have been their teacher has gained for them a place in my affection which cannot be obliterated. And may their va- cation be as useful and pleasant both to themselves and their parents as they have been in strumental in the success of this school! May learn of you in future as being important factors in helping forward each plan in life's great work!

TUESDAYS election in the va rious states produced no startling results. The republicans still have a safe majority in the house and the next senate will also be republican. Democrats made gains in many republican states, but not enough to change results. The vote in Arkansas is perhaps the lightest polled in years.

A CORRECTION.

Newspapers Make A Mistake in Re-
porting State Vote.
The Appeal and other papers have
made mistake in the report of the
State vote for the Offices of Lieuten-
ant Governor and Regent of the State
University.
The Appeal stated that Lem Allen
had received only $50 majority; 1t
should have read 1850. which is con
siderable difference.
In the vote for Regent, the Journal
Ntates that r. Kirman received ma
jority. This vote should have read
1850. These majorities are figured
from the State returns that have beer
received by the officers at the Capito

ANOTHER

Company Formed to Build via

The San Francisco Terminal and
Ferry Company, which has just secur-

hard fight, is now preparing to build
from Stockton to Sacramento and
through the Beckwith Pass eastward,
making Oakland the terminus Of an
overland railroad. While about Is

Fruitvale to its water front property
at UUnio street. the articles of incor-

The corporation that was formed in
Sacramento is to beknOwn as the

and specifically announces its intention
to build over the route indicated,
starting from Stockton and going to
Sacramento, to Oroville, along the
North Fork of the Feather river, along
Spanish Creek, along Spring Garden

THE PRICE
OF SILVER
INCREASED PRODUCTION IS
NOT The CAUSE
Comments on the Situation by
a Utah Critic

The news of the reaction in the
price Of silver and its pronounced up
ward tendecy in the last few days will
be a source of encouragement to the
silver miners. For few days it look
ed as If the bottom of the market
was unfindable The bear gamblers in
silver had everything-their own way
and they pounded it down as they
pleased.
OF the various causes assigned for
the slump none seems entirely salts
factory The reason that naturally Oc7
Cured to those interested was the sell
ing of silver by China in order to Sc
cure the gold with whcich to pay the
first installment of the indemnity
which is to be received by the powers.
The total indemnity amounts to 450,-
OOO, 900 taels. or about $333,O0O,0OO.
BY agreement this money is to be
paid in three equal insetallments, the
first of Sill 100000, being due Jan. l,
1903. For some months China has
been on the selling side of the silver
market, and this undoubtedly has had
Ia material effect on the situation. Ad-
ded to this. India has not been sup
porting the market as it would under
ordinary circumstances.
Some writer's have been inclined to
attribute at least portion Of the de-
cline to an increased production of
silver. Now, the figures for 1902 are
not at hand. but it is certain the in
creased production of silver has not
been sufficient to cause any slump in
the market. It is a well known fact
that many western mines which, when
silver was above 60 cents, produced
large quantities of the metal have
long been idle. If they could not
work at a profit above 60 cents, it is
apparent they could not be operated
when silver is 10 cents lower than
that figure.
We believe there is not much more
soundness in the increased production
argument than there was in the alb
,surd story, started by the bears some
time ago, that Mexico was about te
be placed on a gold standard basis
That last story was a pure fabrica
ton. as subsequent development
have proved. But no matter what tn,
cause, the fact remains that silve
miners have had and are now having
ample cause for uneasiness.
The state of the public mind is re
fected in the cratic movements o
stocks in mines which are largely si
yer producers. When such a stock a
DAILY West, for instance, registers quo
tations covering a range of $40 be
tween the highest and lowest point
within a few days time, it is apparen
that the public is exercised.-Sal

can find time enough in the ten or

YOUNG WOMAN DIES
OF STRANGE ILLNESS
Unconscious for Days and Physicians
Puzzled by Curious Symptoms.

NEW YORK, June 12-Mlss Anna
Scheid. twenty-three years old. of Har-
.rison. died at her home, No. $50 CIeve-
land Avenue, yesterday after an Illness
that completely puzzled a number of
physicians who were in attendance.
Miss Scheid Bas taken sick twelve
days ago. On the first day of her sick
ness she became unconscious. The fam
lily physician tried all known means of
restoring the sick girl, but without avail.
No better success resulted from the call
ing into consultation OF other we'll
known doctors Of Harrison and Newark.
Miss Scheid remained in Iethargic
state until Thursday of last week Then
she opened her eyes and recognized her
mother who was at her bedside She
complained of pains in the head and
body and then relapsed into unconscious
ness, in which condition she remained
until death came yesterday
Miss Scheid was employed in a New
ark department store. She was stricken
with a severe headache while at work
Saturday, May 81. She started for her
home. but alighted from a Harrison
trolley car at the wrong place and was
found by friends staggering blindly
through Fifth Street. She was taken
home and her malady soon assumed a
more serious form.
The doctors pronounced Miss Scheid- s
malady to have been a form of cpl
lepsy, augmented by paralysis.
