LOCAL GROCERS ORGANIZE.
An Associa ton of Green Forests
 Mercantile Interests.

The retail groeers of Green Forest have formed an association by which they expect not only to help their own business, but that will also be a benefit in many re- spects to their customers and will assist materially in building up the commercial interests of the town.
 The initiatory steps to the or ganization were taken at meet ing called for that purpose a few nights ago. T. M. Buell. was chosen president, W. A. Staple ton treasurer and c. E. Foreman secretary. The firms so far rep- resented in the organization are Hurd & Stapleton, T. M. Buell., Tanning & Birkes, Tabor & Fore man, J. c. Harbert & Co.,, J. c. Tabor, J. H. Ramsey, c. A. Ram sey and H. Stacy.
 The first object of the associa- ton is the mutual protection of it's members against a class of people who contract debts they never expect to pay. The members also pledge themselves to use their best endeavors to find d market for everything that is offered for sale in Green Forest. It was also decided to employ the union delivery system, dispensing with the necessity of each house keeping delivery wagon. One man will be employed to do de- livery work for all.
 THE TRIBUNE is impressed that movement of this kind is all right, and if 1t is once put in per- feet working order 1t will have a favorable effect upon the pocket books of the public. There are many features in such move ment that will unquestionably work well to the advantage of many and to the detriment of none. The commercial interests of no town can be properly pro- tected without an organized effort. We hope to see the union now be- ing formed between our grocers carried out to the fullest measure of success, and if the proper eff fort is put forth there is no reason why it should not accomplish all and many more purposes than those which occurred to the par ties who started the effort to or ganize the association.

with the facts connected with the accusations made against others than Stahl, but we do know posi- lively that those lodged against Stahl do not do his case justice by long odds. A bigger political boodler than StahI never dis graced political party and still go unmolested.
 THE TRIBUNE surmised several weeks ago that the policy insti- tuted by President Roosevelt in trying to appoint honorable men to office would lead to an investi- gation of the conduct of Marshal Stahl. There is not the slight est doubt but that if the presi- dent were put in possession of the facts as they exist, Stahl will not only be turned down, but thoroughly disgraced as was the case with Gov. Jenkins of Oklahoma.
 There is no doubt but that Foreman has made a good inn pression upon the president for he is a man after Mr. Roosevelt's s own heart, frank, aggressive and thoroughly honest. Foreman has never been able to understand why honesty should not be en- ployed as well in politics as in anything else.
 Among other things Mr. Fore man has done in Washington is to show the leaders in plain black and white how he was beaten out of the western district marshall ship. He went prepared to con- vince the president by letters and affidavits of the best republicans of the state that no less than two- thirds of the members of the state committee were for him for the membership until the iron hand of bosSism was manifested.
 The outcome of Mr. Foreman s movement will be watched with intense interest.

BENTON'S BIG APPLE CROP
Brings the Orchardists of that County Over $1, ,11O,5OO.

8 According to the following from the Bentonville Democrat of last week, a million dollar esti- mate was entirely too small to place upon the value of last year s apple crop in Benton county. The Democrat says:
 The Democrat this week pre- sents it's readers to a correct statement of the shipment of ap- ples, both green and evaporated, for this season. This report we we will guarantee correct, as the information is based upon the statements received from the var ious railroad agents who have signed their reports specifying the amount of fruit shipped from their respective stations. The to- , tai amount of green apples ship ped out of this county amounts to 1912 cars, while Macon & Carson used in their Fruit Brandy Dis tillery 135,000 bushels. Besides these amounts there has been a great number of green apples shipped by local shipments, the amount of which we have been unable to secure, while the cider industry etc., will greatly in crease Nle number of bushels produced in Benton county.
 Below we give a tabulated statement showing the number of cars of green and evaporated ap- pies shipped from each station in

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in- famed condition of the mucus lining of the Eustachain Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have rumbling sound or imper- feet hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed, deafness is the re- suit, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; :; Nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucus surfaces.

We congratulate Washington county sincerely upon the final extinguishment of the obligations incurred some thirty years age when it secured the location of the University of Arkansas. Within that period Washington county has paid into the state treasury S240, 900 in interest, and on yes terday redeemed the S100, ,0O0 bonds issued to secure the univer- sity. This reminds us of the un- fair attempt during the last legis- lature to remove the University from it's present location. Wash ington county is entitled to that institution so long as it snail be maintained by the state under present arrangements, and we have sufficient faith in the good judgement and the fairness of future bliesto warrant thd assertion that ibwnl never be rel moved from it's present location.

The whiskey question came up in the county court again last Monday and after some discus sion on both sides it was decided to accept the suggestion of the court at a previous session. That suggestion was that one party for the petitioners and one for the saloon men go together in a can vass of the three mile radius and present the petition against li- cense to every adult therein, who without any words from either of the canvassers may sign or re- fuse. In either case the name will be taken as a guide to the census of the district. When every one has been given a chance to sign or refuse, the pe- tition will be submitted to the court with the census returns made in the canvass and the question will solve itself without any discussion on either side. Geo. F. Mckinney will make the canvass for the petitioners and $. N. Bradshaw for the opposing side. Court will convene on Jan uary 18th, to hear the report ol the canvass. This seems to be a very fair way to settle the matter and it will doubtless be settled in accordance with the wishes of a majority of the people.-Harri son Republican.

TO OVERTHROW THE BOSSES
Effort to Dislodge Republican
 Leadership of Arkansas.

All ndS Uoeu 6AclGeluSIIl dIIIOIlS S 1 the republican leaders of Arkan sas during the past ten days.
 Ben M. Foreman, the stalwart, i of Texarkana has in stituted a movement to defeat the confirma . ton of the appointment of Mar shals Stahl and Cooper and Col l lector Remmel.
 Mir. Foreman is in Washing ton where he is advising the pres 1 ident and senators of the ''irreg- ularites" which have been prac. ticed in recommending federal appointments in this state, and he has been given a very cordial hearing. A dispatch from Wash ington to the Little Rock Gazette says:
 "From unquestioned sources it is said that charges have been lodged with the judiciary com- mittee of the senate against Mar shal Cooper of the eastern dis trict of Arkansas and Marshal Stahl of the western district. As to Marshal Cooper the charges state that he is incapacitated physically to discharge the du- ties of his position. It is further claimed that the marshal's office and the office of internal revenue collector were awarded to Messrs. Cooper and Remmel on a com promise by which the salaries are capitalized.
 There are also further charges against Marshal Cooper, that he has paid no attention to the civil service law, but in many instan- ces totally disregarded it's most explicit provisions. As 10 Marshal l Stahl, for the western district of Arkansas, it is stated on good authority that quite number of affidavits from prominent repub- licans of F't. Smith and other portions of Northwest Arkansas, have been placed with the judi ciary committee of the senate, alleging mismanagement and misconduct in every branch of his office and violations of the civil service law. It is contend ed that Powell Clayton, who is the present ambassador to Mexico, is the absolute dictator of all po- litical affairs in Arkansas, even to the most minute details, and that in order to keep his control of the machine has made fre- uuent visits from Mexico to Ark ansas to dictate the workings of the machine. In the fight against Powell Clayton, it is reported that Mir. Foreman and his asso- ciates have the unqualified SUD- port of several republican sena- tors.
 Foreman and Auten state that they are not applicants for any office, nor will they be, and that they are not championing the cause of any one for federal pa tronage, their whole object be- ing to show the authorities here that, as they claim, Powell Clayton and other members of the executive committee, all of whom, nearly, are holding office at present under the administra- tion, should resign their positions. This point has been strongly urged by them. MT. Mathews is an applicant for the office of re- ceiver at Little Rock, now held by John E. Bush. Mr. Foreman and others here with him from Arkansas were granted an audi ence with the president, which lasted for some time. Mr. Fore man will meet the president again in a day or so. All of ] these gentlemen express them selves as entirely satisfied with their conference with the presi-

Tine above statement includes 100 cars in cold storage at Rog- CTS; 100 cars in cold storage at Bentonville; 30 cars in cold stor- age in Sloan Springs.
 Macon & Carson used 135, ,000 bushels which would make 300 cars of green apples, estimating 450 bushels to the car.
 The minimum weight allowed to the car is 24, 1000 on the Frisco and 10000 on the K. c. & s., and these figures are based on these minimum weights.
 In order that our readers may know the estimated value of the apple crop we herewith submit the following statement:
 1872 cars green. ........ S724, 300 136, GOO bushels at 10c. =. 13, 300 179 cars eyaporated. :. 322, 200
 S1,O6O,50O This does not include the etiIlOlillOS IOC6lN 0Q lfOlll Lil0 CIOOE industry, skins, cores and other evaporated apples not yet mar keted. A conservative estimate of this, which has been figured by competent persons at $50, ,OOO, will place the total amount received for the fruit for this county at something over S1, no, ,500.
 The dry weather that is pre- vailing all over North Arkansas, holds out a gloomy prospect for the coming summer. The ground is so dry that wheat is not doing as 1t should and if rain does not come speedily it is more than likely a repetition of last sum- rner's drought will confront us. Many wells in and around Eure- ka Springs have already dried up, but as yet no great amount of suffering has been reported as the springs are all running an abundance of water Eureka Springs Times Ecbo.
