FOE TO RHEUMATIC PANas.
warships are Sheathed With Asbes-
 tos to Keep Sailors Healthy.

Chicago Chronicle.
 When the navy turned to building it's ships of steel 1t was remarked that un- less some device was adopted for off- setting the effect of heat condensing on the metal 1t would be only matter Of a short time before all our officers would be suffering from rheumatism.
 The introduction of metal chairs, ta- bles and other pieces of furniture fol- lowed a few years ago, and now there Is not a single piece of wood of any size to be found in an officers room on a modern warship. He sleeps in an Iron berth keeps his clothes in a steel chest, while the floor. ceiling and walls of his apartment are of the same metal. Since the adoption of the solid armor for the sides of warships a great deal of trouble has been experienced in making hahitable the quarters directly next to the out sida covering. The heat of the room condensed on the cold metal and in a very short time the occupant would be on tho hospital list with bad ease of rheumatism This is now guarded against by the uss of a sheathing of as- bestos placed next to the metal and held in place by a framework. This is found to absoro the moisture in a satisfactory manner. Care is also taken to see that the berths are not built against the out side of the vessel. but against one of the side walls. so that the sleeper will be ax far a possiHfe from the metal that comes in contact with the water.

 This is d serious matter for all the smart ladies interested in West End tea shops or Identification parlors and for those sprigs of nobility who tout for wine agents. tailors. bootmakers and cigar dealers.

DIFFERENT VIEWS.

Some citizen of Kings Mill
signing himself M. c. last week
had a lengthy article in the limbo
den News lauding and praising
Gov. Davis. The article began
this way:
Mr.. Editor:-I will thank you
very much to give room to this
letter from a Sharp county DEM
ocrat, as both the editors in this
county have different views from
most of our people.
1t is very ungenerous of M. C.
after the Record has published
az invitation to the friends of
Gov. Davis to use its columns in
defense OF him, to attempt to cre-
ate the impression abroad that he
could not get space in the Record.
But really, M. C. did not attempt
to defend Gov. Davis record, but
simply uncorked himself and
flooded the country with the
achievements of the governor to-
wards the relief OF the drouth
stricken people. AS to holding a
different view on the race for
governor from the majority of
Sharp county people, we would
advise M. G. not to back his
Judgment with the contents OF his
purse. The Rector men had also
better keep their money in their
wallets. The Record has never
said Col. Rector would carry
Sharp county. This is not of
that class OF papers that claim
the earth and the fulness thereof.
1t is no one sided affair in Sharp
county, but we firmly believe
Col. Rector will carry Sharp
county on March 90. But no
battle is won until it is fought
out. Col. Rector's friends should
be active. With such a record as
Gov. Davis has, and the sort of
man he has proven himself to be,
the man who contributes to his
defeat is doing the state of Ar
kansas a lasting service.

not like Caezar's wife, above

not like Caezar's wife, above
suspicion.
When Gov. Davis says his ell
ection or defeat is matter of
minor Importance he misstates
the facts. This campaign means
much to the democratic party and
to the people Of the state of Ar
kansas. If the people elect jeff
Davis again it shows nothing less
than that they endorse the tactics
and methods of the demagogue,
and that they want that kind OF a
man to represent them to the
outside world. If they defeat
him they will say to their neigh
bors: "We do not place a man.
in the chief executives chair who
disgraces our country, who brings
the name of our state into disre-
pute, and drags the names of our
most distinguished men into the
mire; we are not cattle to be
driven from pasture to pasture
by Jeff Davis; we have chosen a
public servant, not a dictator.

not use at all if he could prevent
it. We remember but a few
months ago to have seen on the
patent side of a North Arkansas
paper an article which did Arkan.
sas and the people of the state a
grave injustice. Some Yankee
galoot had written a lengthy
sketch slandering Arkansas, and
it found its way into the Arkan-
sac patent sides. What a feeling
must have come over the Arkan-
sas editors who used it. An all
home-print country paper suits
the people best. Besides this
fact, an all-home-print office
proclaims its ability to attend to
its own business and run its own
boat

A CORRECTION.

A reader of this paper in
Washington sends US the follow
ing relative to the charge of the
Salem Banner that Senator Jones
has done absolutely nothing for
the drouth sufferers:
"Iobserve that in your reply
to the Salem Banner, in the last
issue of your paper, you say
Senator Jones had given $50 for
the drouth sufferers. The Ssna-
tor, in fact, has given $3.50 in
cash for this cause. He gave
$50 in person to the Arkansas
Democrat, which was turned into
the Board of Trade fund at Little
Rock, and distributed from there,
and when the members of our
State delegation were making up
a cash fund here, to be sent from
here, we wired Senator Jones to
know if he wished to be included,
and he replied that he did.
Thereupon he gave S100 more.
Of this sum, $50 was sent to the
Batesville League, and the same
amount to Harrison, to be dis
tributed from there to Marion,
Baxter and Van Buren, counties.
You can state as a positive fact
that Senator Jones contributed
$3.50 in cash for the purpose
named. have no doubt he has
contributed as much more on Ii
rect personal appeals while in
that part of the state; and all this
in addition to the service he rend-
cred in going with other MEM
bers of the delegation to the Sec
retary of Agriculture and helping
to secure the extra large assign
ment of field seeds for those peo-
ple."

THE LOGIC OF 1T.

In discussing Gov. Davis ac-
ton in declaring he would par
don the man who whipped Tom
Herrn, The Hot Springs News
says:
eff he would incite the crime of
assault upon one against whom
he entertains malice, with a
promise of immunity from the
consequences of the law, might
he not also offer a pardon for as
sassination where he might hold
a deadly enmity against some
one, or to remove a person from
the sweep Of his political ambi.
ton? That is the irresistible con-
clusion to which his act logically
leads.
The fearful conditions which
led to the bloody assassination of
Goebel in Kentucky furnishes an
example of this dangerous senti-
ment. Governor Taylor promised
pardonS for those who would VOL
unteer to accomplish his desper-
ate designs.
Goebel was assassinated, as q
result of this, but before he died
he was declared to be the duly
elected governor and sworn in,
thus iepriving the wicked Taylor
of the power to make good his
damnable promises to redhandeC
assassins.
Had Taylor remained in the
gubematorial chair not one OF the
foul conspirators in the assassina.
ton Of Goebel would ever have
been punished, for Taylor would
have pardoned them as fast OF

THE PATENT SIDE.
The Memphis Commercial APP
peal truthfully says:

The Memphis Commercials APP
peal truthfully says:
"a part of the country editors
individuality was lost when the
ready print companies began fur
nishing him with paper printed on
one side. 1t was great piece of
economy, and it enabled him to
furnish his patrons a much larger
paper than when the type was all
set by hand in his own office.
But as the matter on the patent
side was selected for general use
by large number of newspapers
he had no control over it, and it
did not represent his views or
taste. Part of his paper still ex-
pressed his sentiment and con-
tanned his views; the foreign
printed part of it was filled up
with matter much of which he
would have rel cted had it been
possible for him to do So"
One prominent objection that
can be had to the patent side is,
the editor who uses it has next to
no control of the matter it con-
tains, and some times, perhaps
often, something appears on the
patent side which the editor would

ANXIOUS ABOUT CLARKE.

u
In last Saturdays Little Rock
Gazette Gov. Davis addresses a
card to the people of Arkansas
urging them to work for Gov
Clarke. In one place he says:
81 would rather see Clarke elected
United States senator than to be
elected governor for the second
term." In another place he says:
81 will meet Col. Rector at his
appointments wherever | can dc
90 consistent with the duties o.
my office. | will, however, make
independent dates wherever |
! think it will do Clarke good, and
l ask my friends to subordinate
everything else to the election OF
Gov. Clarke. My election or de-
feat is matter of minor import
ance."
People of Sharp county. has
this any precedent in the history
of the politics Of Arkansas, or
any other state in the Union?
In the name of reason, what is
ex-Gov. James p. Clarke doing?
Is he unable to manage his own
campaign? If he is, wouldn't he
set the woods on fire in the senate
Of the United States? Did it ever
occur ill any state before that a
candidate for so honored a po-
sition as seat in the Unite1
States senate simply sat flat down
upon his launches and relied
upon the influence of another
candidate, for a different office,
to elect him? Is Jeff Davis get
ting anything out of all his cam
paigning for Clarke?
What has so suddenly possessed
the governor that he must defeat
Senator Jones? When he was
Attorney General, chief law Of
ficer OF the state, he did not OBJ
serve, in all his observations,
that the senator was in a trust.
Both Gov. Davis and Gov. Clarke
sat in the convention that made
Senator Jones manager of the
democratic campaign of 1900.
That convention had adopted a
platform containing a strong
plank against trusts. Neither
Davis nor Clarke arose in that
convention and declared that
Senator Jones himself was a
member of a trust. Perhaps they
were too full of wizard oil, crazy,
| Or hal their hands behind their
backs; anyway they were dumb
as oysters. When Gov. Davis
prepared his antitrust measure
which was presented to the last
general assembly, the American
Cotton Co. was not included.
What a frightful omission! We're
you crazy then, governor, full of
wizard oil, or did you have your
hands behind your back? Gov.
Davis, only a short time ago,
woke up one fine morning in the
city of Fort Smith shouting that
the American Cotton Co. is a
blood-sucker from Bloodsucker-
Vile. Between libations of wiz
ard oil he has been shouting it
ever since. He has yoked him
self with Poker Jack Mcclure,
the Globe Democrat and the re-
publican party against the best
interests of the democratic party.
He is attempting to defeat the
greatest living statesman of Ar
kansas, a man whom the whole
nation sees fit to honor, and in
whom the national democracy
reposes the fullest confidence.
He is attempting to defeat the
leader of the democratic forces in
the United States senate, made
SO by the unanimous votes of his
fellow members.

A Word to Business Men.

The jamestown Alert says that
it the business man will stop to
consider he will see the value to
himself Of patronizing the news
papers. They r laboring to
build up the town and surround
ing country. Every improvement
fought for and carried out bythem
means more work for the laborer
and mechanic, who in turn has
money to spend with the store
keepers. Every new inhabitant
added to the town through pub
fishing it's resources, means a new
customer for some one in all the
different lines. Every agitation
for better conditions aids in the
prosperity and welfare of the
people.
Thousands of dollars are saved
in every community by the infor-
nation gained through the news
papers, not to speak Of the pleasure
and the instruction and advance
ment to be derived from all the
varied information complied
weekly.
Yet some merchants believe that
they owe no more to a newspaper
in their town than they doto a tree
or a telegraph pole, or a sign-board
on which they place an advertise
ment. They do not stop to con-
slider that they are daily reaping
the reward Of a newspapers efforts
and influence. They are willing
to receive the benefit, but are they
willing to give anything in return?
Even if advertising in itself did
not pay-if an advertisement in a
newspaper going into some new
home every week did not pay
per SO the cost of such ADVERTISE
ment would not commence to COM
pensate for the results accruing to
the merchant, even in an indirect
way, from the mere fact Of the
publication Of the journal.
But advertising does pay and it
pays we'll, and every successful
man is a living testimonial to the
efficacy of publicity.

The year of 1902 promises much
for our public schools. May
showers of richest blessing fall!
The county tuition fund tor the
last quarter, which was distributed
Dec. 10th. amounts to $2153.64.
The next apportionment will prob
ably be much larger.
The teachers of the Devils Lake
city schools have taken up the
reading circle course and Hins-
dale's cart of Study" is now re-
ceiving special attention at their
regular meetings. This plan
could be followed with profit in
all, our graded schools, teachers
of rural schools uniting in the
same work where distances are
not too great. Many of our teach
ers pursue the reading circle course
regularly each year, and no pro-
gressive instructor can afford to
miss it.
A good number of pupils from
different schools in the county
took the examination this month
for completion of common school
studies. The papers will be read
