SHARP COUNTY
 WANTS ROCK ISLAND.

Judge John B. McCaleb of Evening Shade, Sharp county, was in Little l Rock Wednesday says the Gazette. He is attending the grand lodge. Judge McCaleb is one of the most ex- perienced judges in the state. He has just retired from the bench of the Sixteenth judicial circuit, after hold ing the position for ten or eleven consecutive years He was persist ently urged to run in the last election, but declined. "I believe some young CT man ought to be given chance, ;" said Judge McCaleb. "Rotation in office should be observed. I have been considering the advsability of retiring for several years. I do not intend to retire from public life en- tirely, though am not at present a candidate for any position"
 Judge McCaleb says that the people of Sharp county are eagerly waiting for developments in the proposed Rock Island Railroad from Jackson port, near Newport. This will give them a connection, by running north west through Arkansas beyond West Plains, Mo-, to the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis, with the Missouri branches of the system, They will then be able to make a direct run through Arkansas to the south, The ultimate construction of the road is deemed a certainty. The surveying parties came directly through Evening Shade. There were two of these. One started from up in Missouri and the other from Jacksonport. They met just this side of the Missouri line 1t means great development for oul section when the railroad is built, anc naturally the farmers, merchants
 business men-in fact, everybody
 Ire anxiously awaiting any develop cnents that may come"

Logan, the secretary, enrolled several comrades. Adjutant J. E. Shepman was appointed to draft constitution and by laws. Comrade J. H. Rangoff was elected chaplain. He delivered an eloquent speech in which he fervently favored a revision of the laws so that the Sons of Veterans could be taken into the camp with their fathers. Comrade J. H. Wells endorsed the remarks of the chaplain, and urged that the camps in the South use their influence to have history adopted for the schools which would speak the truth of the rebellion that posteriey might fairly and rightly judge thoSe~~ssea&aI!ISwee the respec- tive flags. zn~

SELLING HIS STOCK.

By reference to another column, it will be noted that Mir. John c. Hayes is closing out his stock of goods in tending to retire from business here. Whether he will continue to make Newport his home has not yet been decided, though he expects to leave.
 He is wide awake and progressive merchant, whose trade and friends will be sorry to learn this news. He has been an appreciated friend of this paper and we hope that success may attend him wherever he goes.

Ft Smith Times:
 The difference between American and European ideas of sportsman ship has been strikingly illustrated the past week. In France the king of Portugal and in England the Emperor of Germany has been the central figure of hunt In both instances the game" was half tanned pheasants artiticially reared and preserved in parks. The attendants rig themselves out in masquerade costumes of velvet and lace and ostrich plumes and the sportsmen stand in the open while the game is flushed by the hundreds by the keepers. Thus the emperor slaughtered hundreds of birds while three men were kept busy loading his several guns, and similar scenes were enacted for the benefit of the Portu- guese king.
 Compare this enervated form O. "spOrt" with the bear hunt of PreS dent Roosevelt.

Compare also the nature of the game, half tanned pheasant in beautifully kept park and a black bear that will fight man or dog when brought to bay, and that quick eye, steady hand, courage and self-p pos session are required, not only to bag the game but to avoid personal in- jury.
 And yet European trade centers wonder why America is forging to the front and European diplomatic cen oers vainly protest against the increase of American influence in world affairs. The sports ot people indicate their national characteristics.

thousand dollars. Every Navajo man
VINO has ever seen it has uttered gut
teral eJacula tions, to the effect that the
woman must have been crazy, and that.
II II were known who she was, she
would be killed. 1t is one of the great
est pieces of sacrilege ever perpetrated.
Every figure on it is sacred. and re-
Neals TO an 1mpious world some secret
OF the medicine men; some tale of the
inner religion of the tribe. 1t is a sad
commentary on the danger of intrust-
ing state secrets in certain directions.
Owners Of Property.
The women are the sheep owners
OF the tribe. They have flocks rang
ing from rs to $500 in number, and
understand perfectly we'll how to drive
a sharp bargain for their wool They
get "a good many pounds of wool from
sheep. and it sells at from to II
cents.
One would not think that crops could
be raised in this land of drought, but
the Navajo women plants her garden
In the canon bottoms, at the foot of
the mesas, where it catches all moist
ure from the table land above. She
does not raise potatoes, although this
II the original home of the potato
which grows wild in Navajo land. But
she raises wheat, beans, squashes
peaches and a few apples, a little
alfalfa, and most of all-corn Corn
is part of the Navajo woman's life
From the cradle to the grave it has
a part in every social and religious
ceremony. She grinds it on a me-
tate-a slab of stone followed in the
embarrassing the kernels by hand
with another stone; and she can make
one of the most delicious dishes in the
world of green corn ground in this
way. She cuts the corn from the
fresh ears, grinds it into a soft, milky
mass and throws it into the boiling
water with a little salt, and a few
pinches of aromatic wild herbs. Then
she stirs it until it is well cooked, and
serves up in the food basket a Dish fit
for an epicure.
Unlike most Indian women, she is
not cursed with a lazy husband. The
| Navajo is willing to work at any kind
of remunerative labor. He works on
the farm, he has great herds of
horses, and he is almost as celebrated
for his silver work as his wife is for
her blankets He beats out those
beautiful, barbaric silver disks which
the Navajo woman wears upon her
belt. A belt of this kind is worth from
$40 to $50, and serves as a bank account
to the family; being pawned in times
of stress and redeemed in better days.
Indian music is one of the most in
teresting things in entomology. The
Navajos have thousands of songs,
which embody their tribal myths in a
very fascinating way. But, curiously
enough, the Navajo woman never
sings. Indian women of other tribes,
have their own songs, and sing in the
| ceremonial songs with the men. Her
Pueblo women neighbors have many
fine songs, notably the corn grinding
song of the Zuni women, which is very
wild and musical. But the Navajo
woman is quite songless. Her blanket
is her art. This silent, primitive
woman, tending her flocks or sitting
| before her loom, on the vast sun
baked mesas of the sad Southwest"
/ is a quaint and interesting figure.

Lees Disrespect to Washington.
From the New York Press.

Apropos of the Miles unpleasantness,
Gen. Charles Lee was tried by court
martial in 177S for disobedience, and
suspended from command for one year.
Later he was dismissed from the army.
Lee had a commission at the age of IL,
and was a fine soldier, with a fault
finding disposition that ruined him. The
Indians named him "Ounewaterika, -
meaning Boiling Water" He was al
ways in hot water. On the resignation
of Aatemas Ward he became ranking
major general in the army, with visions
of being commander-in-chief An i'm
pudent letter to Congress was his final
undoing Lees will directed that his
body should not be buried within a
mile of any church or meeting house,
as he had kept so much bad company
in this world that he did not want to
continue it in the next If he was re-
lated to the illustrious Lees, of Vir-
ginia, the latter never acknowledged it.
His magnificent estate was in the
Shenandoah valley, but he died friend

How to Find Your Way When Lost.
From st. Nicholas

When you discover that you are lost
first stop and pull yourself together.
Recall the direction in which you
started from camp-whether you went
north, south east or west. You can all
ways do this if you try. The next step
is to fix the points of the compass.
When that is done, you will be able
to go in the general direction you wish.
Find mature tree that stands apart
from it's fellows. Even if it is only
slightly separated it will do. The bark
of this tree will be harder, drier and
lighter in color on the south side. On
the north it will be darker, and often

ROOSEVELT WILL
 VISIT CHARLESTON
ASSURES THE EXPOSITION PARTY THAT HE WILL MAKE THE TRIP, THOUGH THE TIME HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AS YET.

Washington March S.-A delegation of prominent citizens of Charleston, s. C., had a conference with President Roosevelt today in regard to his attending the Charleston exposition.
 The delegation strongly urged the Presi- dent to keep his engagement to visit the exposition and assured him a most cor dial welcome
 The President told the delegation that if nothing intervened to prevent he would take great pleasure in visiting Charles ton and the exposition some time in the near future.
 The party was invited to luncheon with the President and 1t is thought that a date certain for the trip may be deter mined upon before the party leaves the city.
 The delegation consisted of Mayor Frank Alderman Rhett and Kellock, rep rbsenting the city, and President Wagner, MT. Hemphill and Dr. Gadsden, of the ex- position board.
 After luncheon 1t was stated that no date could be now fixed for the visit, but that it probably would take place late in the present month. Secretary Cortel- you will take up the matter with the exposition authorities and the railroad officials with a view to selecting date.

FUNSTON SAYS
 THERE IS NO WAR
SAYS EVEN RESPECTABLE GUER- RILLA WARFARE HAS CEASED TO EXIST IN THE PHILIPPINES, ASSASSINS ARE PLENTIFUL.

New York March 3.-General Funston, who is In the city en route to Washing ton, where he goes to learn if he is to return to the Philippines when his fur tough expires in April, had a talk with Herald reporter and will be quoted to- morrow as saying:
 There is no more war in the Philip pines than there Is In Kentucky. Assas- sins turk in the cane and shoot down men who are at their mercy. but there are no soldiers in the field to battle with the United States troops. Even respectable guerrilla warfare has ceased.
 There has been no fighting in any of the Philippine provinces for nearly six months. It has been said that I have op- posed the reduction of our forces in the East. That is a mistake. In my opinion one-half of our troops might be brought home new and at the end of the year one half of those remaining might be re- turned
 At the same time, too much latitude should not be given to the natives of the Philippines. They are not ready for self government and they belong to that clas: of people who look upon kindness as show of weakness. If we are to main tain peace in the islands we must dea fairly but somewhat sternly with mos of the natives for a good many years They have been so long accustomed to the Spanish methods of treachery that it will be long before they will accept our promises we mean them.''

New York. March 3.-Permanent organ ization of the sS0 900 corn products company, known as the Gluecose-Starch combination, has been effected by the election of the following directors:
 C. Fl. Matthiessen, w. J. Calhoun, Joy Morton, Edward l.. Wemple, Norman B. Ream, F. T. Bedford, F. U. Matthiessen, E V. Hoiget and Benjamin Graham.
 The board organized by the election of these officers:

 There are still few vacancies in the list of directors. Mir Matthiessen. who was chosen President of the new corpora ton, has long been identified with the glucose-starch trade and has been pres ident of the Glucose Sugar Refining Com pany several years.
 It Is believed the former competitive policy will be done away with and the probability is that the trade will be plac- ed upon a firm basis.
 The underwriting money, amounting to about 5000O0 which was paid in, will be devoted in part to the purchase of some of the smaller plants, which are not to have their stock exchanged for the stock of the larger company. The work ing capital of the new company at the outset will be In excess of $5,0 900.

London, March 3--In a dispatch from Pretoria dated today, Lord Kitchener sends details of the disaster to the escort of the convoy of empty wagons on von- donop. southwest of Klerksdorp, Trans vaal colony. The British casualties. in killed, wounded and men made prisoners, reach the total of 632. The Boers captured two guns. Lieutenant Colonel Anderson. who commanded the British forces, has returned to Kraaipen. Cape Colony, with nine officers and 245 men. reports that when his advance guard was within ten miles of Klerksdorp, during the morning of February 25, the Boers opened heavy rife on the troops from shrub.
 The burghers were driven off and the convoy resumed its march when a more determined attack was made on the con voys' left flank the Boers getting within a hundred yeards and stampeding the mules harnessed to a number of wagons.
The age-herald., 1902-03-04

The attacking forces were again driven off. About 6:SO in the morning the rear guard was attacked by a strong force of Boers and simultaneously another body of Boers boldly charged the center of the convoy and stampeded the mules In all directions. throwing the escort into confusion, during which the Boers charged and re-charged. riding down the separated British units.
 The fighting lasted for three hours, dur ing which three British guns and a pom pom almost exhausted their ammunition. A detachment of 200 mounted infantry from Klerksdorp attempted to reinforce the British, but were held in check by the Boers.
 Lieutenant Colonel Anderson stated that the strength of the Boers was esti- mated at 1200 to 1500. The commandants. Delary, Lemmer, Wolmarans and Pot gieter, were all present. Commandant Lemmer is said to have been killed.
