Dispatches state that the Blue
Mountain forest reserve will be
created. As the matter now stands,
there can be no cause for alarm IN
any Of the districts included for
the department has given out the
methods to be adopted in estab-
fishing the reserve which are just
and fair. Every acre in the re-
serve will be inspected before the
proclamation shall issue. Lands
that have been deuuded Of timber
or are owned by private parties,
towns, settlements, school lands
and private ranges will be ex-
cluded from the reserve. Lands
that were entered prior to the
withdrawal for speculative pur-
poses which show the earmarks Of
fraud will be eliminated. The re-
serve will not interfere with the
location Of mining claims and will
only take in government land in
mountainous districts. The crea-
ton of the reserve as now pro-
posed by Secretary Hitchcock will
not iniure actual settlers nor re-
tard the development of the
country.

1t has been decided by the Sup
erintendent of Public Instruction
that child is entitled to receive
free tuition In the district in which
his parents reside, regardless of
where he may have been enumer-
ated in the annual school census.
This decision is Of Importance, for
the reason that the school funds
are distributed largely upon the
basis of school population as shown
by the annual census. Under this
ruling, a child who is enumerated
in country district and then
moves to the city with his parents
draws school money for the coun-
try district and receives his tuition
in the city. Theoretically, the re-
movals to and from a district will
be about equal, but, since many
families move to the city in the
Fall and spend the Summer in the
country, school clerks will here
after be careful to enumerate all
the migratory children where they
live during the school year. 1t
has been the generally accepted
rule that a child is entitled to free
tuition in the district for which
he draws school money.--Oregon-
ian.

OUT or DEBT TO THE WORLD.

the outside world. As the treas

about s16,0O0,0O0 of the interest.
bearing bonds of the United States
are held abroad, and three-fourths
of this amount is held by foreign
insurance companies which are do

are deposited here in the different

deduction, less than s4 100000 of

United States government is act
ually held ou tside of the country.
It is safe to say that no other coun-
try in the world, with the excep-
ton of France, can show such an
exhibit as this.
The improvement Of the United
States in this respect has beeu
striking in recent years. The gov
ernment's interest bearing debt, a
large part of which was held in
Europe, was at it's highest at the
close of the civil war, when it stood
around the $4,000, 100000 mark.
There was gradual reduction af-
terward in the burden of the debt
for many years by the payment
and cancellation Of some of the
bonds and by the funding OF the
others at lower rates of interest.
The total auoual interest charge
when at It's highest at the end of
the civil war was over $15O,OOO,
600, while it is now about S29, ,OOO,-
900, and the aggregate of the debt
has been cut to about $93O,OOO,-
900. The present iuterest-Dearing
burden of the government is ooly
a little over third what it was
third Of a century ago, while the
interest charge is less than fifth
of what it was then. The debt
per capita interest and noninterest
bearing, in the aggregate, which
was $79 when at lis highest at the
cod of The war of 1S6l-65, is now
about $l3, and the per capita of
the interest charge, which was s;4.-
80 then, is 35 cents DOW.
Of course, no other great coun-
try in tue world has anything like
this record of debt reduction 10
this time or in any other time. All
the other great nations are increas-
ing their debt burdens, for even
Euglaud, which was cutting down
it's Indebtedness previous to 1899,
has added hundreds Of millions TO
it siuce as a consequence OF The
Boer war. The reduction Ia the
United States has been due to the
prosperity Of the country and TO
the determination TO cut down the
Obligations to their lowest practi-
cable poiot ps soon as possible.
Although the national debt has
been utilized as q basis for back
ing since 1863, the theory that such
a debt was a national blessing new
er found many adherents in this
country. The manner IN which
the governments Indebtedness has
been reduced and in which prac-
tically the whole Of it has been ab-
sorbed by Americans furnishes an
evidence Of national sanity and SOL
vepcy which is altogether unpara-
leled in the world'sSannals.- s.-Globe

FULToN's SUDDEN DEATH

Hot Springs, Oct. 16.Judge J. B. Fulton, foreman of the Garland coun- ty grand jury, now in session here, was found dead in bed this morning at his home in South Hot Springs. The supposition is that death resulted from heart disease, from which he had suffered for some years. Judge Fulton was in court yesterday, appar- entity in good health, as usual. He showed no symptoms of his impending fate when he retired for the night, and his family were greatly shocked this morning at the discovery u death had come during the night without a struggle and without awakening a member of the household Judge

SMALL COTTON FIRE.

The cotton house of Wilmans Bros, gin at Diaz, in which about 30 bales of seed cotton were stored, narrowly escaped destruction by fise about four o'clock Thursday afternoon.
 The fire spread over the whole house, but in some unaccountable way, those present managed to ex- tinguish the flames when they were on the surface of this mass of cotton. The damage will probably be several hundred dollars, but the loss is fully covered by insurance.

CAMDEN WHISKY FIGHT.

Camden, Oct. 16.-The prohibition petition case is being tried before the county court now in session. The saloon men raised the question that the petition was signed on Sunday, and the court on demurrer held this no defense. Evidence is now being taken and the sole question seems to be whether the petition contains a majority. The trial will consume the balance of the week.

MANN SMITH.
Pretty And Nicely Arranged Church Wedding At Baptist Church Thursday Evening Reception Following At Home Of
 Brides Parents.

The number of elaborate church
 weddings to which Newport society
 has been treated the past Summer and early Fall is frequently remarked upon and there is evidently no turn in the tide, for upon Thursday evening at the Baptist church were celebrated the nuptials of two further pilgrims to Hymen's altar.
 The marriage of MT. J Ed Mann to Miss Mae Gregory Smith at the Bap- tist church of this city drew forth a large crowd of friends and relatives of the contracting parties, who filled to it's capacity the cozy little auditorium, which was beautiful i'll it's general floral decorations. The predominant ing colors were white and green. The alcove and rostrum were banked with palms and ferns, the thick and luxurious wealth of greeneryscreening the view and making an entrancing background for this pretty marriage scene. The organ too was fairly hid den by trailing vines and other de- corations in harmony with the color scheme.
 Eight o'clock had been the hour named, the entrance of the bridal party being preceded by the beauti- ful rendition of ssLove's Sorrow" and ''Since Thou Art Minen by Mir. Taylor Puryear of Jonesboro, accompanied by Miss Nelle Pence of Van Buren, who also played the wedding march. The bridal party entered the church | by the front entrance; all except the groom and his attendant reaching the altar by semi circular aisle, the two named advancing by the main aisle. First came the ushers in pairs, Messrs. Arthur Bailey and Frank Gullett, H. Oliver Nouss and Taylor Puryear, then the bride's maid, Miss Hal Phil lips, lastly the bride meeting at the altar the groom with his best man MT. John Roberts of Searcy.
 The ring ceremony was used, the services being said by Rev. J. w. Smith, pastor of the Methodist church. To the music of the recessional, the party left the church by the main aisle.
 The bride was handsome and queen ly in white silk mouseline over white taffeta, with train, the waist being trimmed with applique and skirt with accordian pleating. The veil was worn and in her wealth of brown hair was pretty spray of lilies of the val ley. She carried an immense boquet of brides roses, fern and these same sweet little lilies of the valley.
 Miss Hal Philips was lovely in pink crepe de chene, trimmed with ecru applique and carried boquet of carnations and ferns.
 The groom and his attendants were in fulldress and the wedding so we'll carried out, while not elaborate as oth- CTS of the past season, was very pretty and pleasing to the eye.
 MT. Mann came to Newport from Searcy, but is now a resident of Jonesboro, whither he has taken one of this city's most popular young ladies. Both bride and groom have host of friends, who will ever feel interested in their success and hap piDess, and wish them the attainment of life's richest blessing, home in which love rules the hearts of happy subjects.
