PROPOSES PUBLISHING
 MAP OF COUNTY

MT. Guy Beauman, an expert civil engineer and county map publisher, is in Newport arranging for the publi- cation of map of Jackson county.
 The proposition made by this gentle man is to publish a map which will show correct plat and ownership of each tract of land throughout the county, also sections, townships, roads, railroads, streams and all such data as would go to make complete land plat.
 Samples of his work from Jefferson, Phillips and other nearby counties show MT. Beauman to be thorough in his business and it is to be hoped that sufficient encouragement will be given him to justify such publication.
 Such map would be of invaluable service to all business men and of utility to the county in general. But owing to the limited territory for sales for such map and the. expense of the undertaking MT. Beauman is soliciting advance of the publication for patron age and already our county judge and a few business men have placed or ders.

TO OFFER DAY SERVICE.

The Newport Electric Light Com pany proposes to institute day ser vice ill about ten days or two weeks, that is certain to be appreciated by patrons of the company.
 This service will allow large num- Der of business houses to put in elec- tric fans and is supplied chiefly for this purpose. Meters will be put in many houses, but flat rates will be made as they are now.
 The present plant will be used for the day as well as night service, until a new engine and dynamo of smaller power can be purchased and insti- tuted.

Rev. R. S. Deener was first ar rested on June 8, 1893, at Newport, Jackson county, as he alighted from the Batesville train, on a charge of forgery made by Hon. Paul Butler, then assistant prosecuting attorney. He had then been pastor of the M. E.. church at Batesville for nearly three years, secretary for two years of the White River conference of the M. E.. church, and grand prelate for two years of the Arkansas Grand Lodge of Knights Templar.
 Deener is about 37 or 38 years of age and is nephew of Bishop Malla- lien of the Methodist Episcopal church. He is brilliant and cultured and fine pulpit orator of singular power and one of the most popular preachers ever sent to Batesville.
 While in Batesville he was always engaged in business ventures of some kind outside of his church affairs. He owned the Arkansas poultry farm, eighty acres of land in the suburbs of Little Rock, and some farming lands in Lee county, and his wife also had an extensive cotton plantation near Marianne, in Lee county.
 The correspondent of the Little Rock Gazette, from which the fore going has been taken, visited Deener in jail the other day and he gave out the following story of his years of exile:
 "Sheriff Hinkle caught me at Hunt ington, and I have been gone from Batesville about ten years. I went to Chilpancingo, Mexico, and went into the drug business and had a good business until last February, when my drug store and two young men who were my clerks were buried together in volcano. It is a wonder I and my wife were not killed too, but it happened we went out to a rope walking that afternoon, as it was on Sunday. 1 was in two blocks of the edge of the volcano and a number were killed, in fact, nearly all who did not go out to the street exercises were lost My drug store was total loss, and l lost everything in the world I had. My wife has some rela- tives at Marianna, Lee county, and had some business interests there to see after, so after our misfortune we decided to return to Arkansas. We returned in March and she is now at Marianna and does not know I am a captured man today. went to Hunt ington, Ark, where my cousin lives, and was there on a visit. I was not expecting Sheriff Hinlxle at all and I was there on visit and was going from there into the mining regions of North Arkansas and try to make some money, and was then aiming to give up and stand my trial, but I have had hard time and my life the past ten years has been hell on earth to me-"

The Ona Indian is deserving of a
higher place than he has hitherto Oc-
cupied in mems esteem If but for one
trait. He forms the almost solitary
exception among aboriginal tribes in
refusing to touch alcohol in any form.
This policy of total abstinence is rigid

excitement of ceremonial rites. What
ever his faults may be. judged from

Lest We Forget.

William Mckinley when fight
ing for protection ten years ago
said: Call the roll of nations
which are for prote :tion. At least
43o million people are in favor Of
protection and SO million Brltalns
are against it; to whom must be
added those Americans whose
numbers are unknown, who, while
living under our flag, seem to
follow another.
That Mckinley statement OF
ten years ago, fits she situation
today. England is the only free
trade nation among the civilized
people. Not even the British
colonies follow the mother coun-
try in free trade policies. Canada
and Australia have protetectlon.
The number of Americans who
follow the British idea is smaller
today than ever before, because
the American people cannot for
get the distress that followed the
Wilson-Gorman tariff law.
But among this small number
of free traders are the men in con-
troll of the Democratic Congress
slonal Committee, the men who
have formulated the Democratic
policy which shall be made effect
i've if the Democrats secure con-
troll of Congress. Chairman
Griggs is an open and avowed free
trader. So are the Democrats
who are associated with him in
the management of the Demo-
cratic campaign. They are fol-
lowing the British idea if not the
British flag. They would have
the American people forget that
the bank clearance which meas
ure the value of business went
from 500, 900, 900, 900 in 1892
down to $45, 900, 900, 900 in
1894 "a decrease of s. per
cent in two years, as result Of
Democratic tariff policies, and
that they rose to $II4, 900, 900, :
900 in 1901, or more than doubled
under the stimulus of the Dingley
law
The Democratic expect the
people to sacrifice this enormous
business at home and give free
trade another trial because about
one-ten thousandth part of our
business is in sales made abroad
at prices less than those ruling in
the home market.

WANTON ExTRAVAGANCE

Compare That Record of the Fusion
lists With Present Administration.
Those who are interested in the wei
fare of those who by misfortune have
become inmates of the state institu-
tions and those who believe that these
institutions should be honestly and
economically conducted have every
reason for supporting the Republican
ticket and every reason for opposing
the fusion ticket.
Everybody remembers the last fu-
sion administration as an administra-
ton of extravaganza, disharmony and
scandal.
The records show that it squandered
the funds and contracted debts in ex-
cess of the appropriations to the ex-
tent of S149,00O.
In regard to disharmony the news
papers of both parties bear abundant
evidence of an unceasing wrangle over
spoils. There was not an institution
that was not torn up all the time by
internecine warfare with spoliation as
the bone of contention. This resulted
in poor and expensive management,
in a waste OF property and money anu
in the unfortunate inmates being sad
ly neglected.
In regard to scandal, the facts are
still fresh in the realm OF public opin.
ion. Open and direct charges were
made in the public prints of dishon.
esty. Nearly every state institution
was included in the bill of impeach-
ment. Here a superintendent was
charged with dissipating the funds
and there with emboldened thievery. 1t
was so apparent that no one attempt
ed to deny the charge and it was so
widespread and general that it en-
crossed the entire state administra-
ton and the only way it could have
been suppressed was by the appoint
ment of a receiver.
When an administration spends all
the money appropriated by the legis-
lature and $4,000 besides, as was
done by the last fusion administration.

REMARKABLE LAKE.

not entirely rooted over by the salt de-
posit. Originally evaporation played
the most prominent part iii coating tne

time the salt springs which surround
II are adding fast to the thickness OF
the crust.
In the long ago rapid evaporation OF
the lakes waters left great salt crys-
tails floating on the surface. In course
of time these caked together. Thus the
waters were finally entirely covered.
In 1878 the lake found an underground
outlet into the river Obi, which low

salt crust was so thick, however, that
1t retained its old level and now pre-
sents the curious spectacle OF salt

six inches in thickness every year. Inc

studded are said to act as braces ana
to help keep the arched salt crust III

in that. The Democratic party

is attractive to thoughtless people,

their wiser neighbors argue them
out of it. so no one is harmed.

A CONVINCING test OF the rela-
tive merits of the Democratic and
Republican method of admins
tration can be seen by the recent
record of business failures made
public. In 1896, as the effects of
a Democratic administration, there
were over $1,000 failures. In
1901 there were not quiet 1000
under Republican administration.

THE efforts now being made by
the Democratic party to return a
majority of members of the House
of Representatives should furnish
food for reflection for thoughtful
people In the first place, the
Democrats have avowed in text
book and platforms that they
would abandon the Philippines;
that they would adopt free trade,
and that they would change the
present gold standard to the crazy
free silver plan. Who would care
to vote for a candidate embody-
ing these principles.

Prosperity and Republican Party.

T he Democratic Campaign
Committee announces that it is
short of orators for the campaign.
The Republican party is held re-
sponsible for this dearth of Demo
cratic spell-binders. In 1896
there were calamity howlers to be
found on every street corner, in
sisting that the "Crime of 49,
had plunged the country into dis
tress and that "I6 to 1" was the
only remedy. We had "Coin"
Harvey and his financial primer,
and a host of other financial ex-
perts to aid Mr.. Bryan in his free
silver campaign. There are Jones
of Arkansas, Hoag of Texas,
James Hamilton Lewis of Wash
ington, Gov. Atgeld and Buck
Hendrickson of Illinois; Sockless
Simpson of Kansas, Teller of Colo
RADIO, Steward of Nevada, George
Fred Williams of Massachusetts,,
Charley Towne of Minnesota, and
a host of other picturesque orators
and teachers of finance. They
made the country ring with their
dismal forebodings of what would
follow the frmer fixture of the
gold standard. But few of these
oraors are to be heard today in
connection with the Democratic
campaign.
The Republican party by the
revival Of protection and the es-
tablishment of the gold standard,
has restored prosperity and even
the Democratic calamity howlers
of 1896 and 1900 have become
busy with other and more numer-
ative employment. Tom L. John
son, the picturesque mayor of
Cleveland, is the only old time
Democratic spell-binder to be
heard in the campaign, and he is
heir to the Presidential
nomination. Mr.. Bryan is busy
money with his newspaper
and lecturing. He has little time
to spare to the cause of the Demo-
cratic party. "Coin" Harvey is
coming wealth down in Arkansas;
James ]. Jones, Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee
has become a trust magnate oper-
ating in cotton presses; Charley
Towne has made money in Texas
oil and now has his office in Wall
Street where he no longer fears to
walk among the gold bugs. Hogg
Of Texas has been busy in Eng
and floating Texas oil stock and
with royalty; James
Hamilton Lewis is too busy hand
ing gold mining properties in the
northwest to care whether there
