Fifth infantry, on the charge OF unlaw-
fully killing seven prisoners OF war,
was resumed here yesterday, the de-
Tense renewed its request that Gen,
erals Chaffae and Smith and other
witnesses be summoned from the
United States. The COURT refused this
request for the present. The argu-
ment developed certain sensational
features. It was charged by the de-
Tense that the records OF the Sixth
brigade, commanded by General
Smith, had been tempered with and
that important documents had been
distracted. General Chaffee was
wanted as a witness for the purpose
of obtaining certain orders and docu-
ments which We're not recorded at di-
vision headquarters. 1t was also de-
clared in the argument that General
Chaffee had sent q telegram TO the de.

Cripples Not Exempt.

Attorney General Murphy holds that cripples are not ex- empt from road duties in cities or towns as the law makes no exceptions in it's requirements on behalf of any male person be- tween the age 21 and 45. He says: "The general road law exempts persons who are physi- cally unable to work, but this does not apply to the working of the streets of cities or towns un- less it is declared in the ordi- nance" which the cities and towns are empowered to pass providing that money may be paid in lieu of the performance of the work. He also decided that there is no provision in the law to authorize school directors to expend school funds for the in surance of school property.

Something That Will Do You Good.


 We know of no way in which we can be of more service to our readers than to tell them of some- thing that will be of real good to them. For this reason we want to acquaint them with what we consider one of the very best remedies on the market for coughs, colds, and that alarming complaint, croup. We refer to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. We have used it with such good results in our family so long that it has become a household neces- sity. By it's prompt use we haven't any doubt but that it has time and again prevented croup. The testimony is given upon our own experience, and we suggest that our readers, especially those who have small children, alway 8 keep it in their homes as a safe- guard against croup.-Camden (S.

Gen. Clayton for Com missioner.

According to recent Wash ington dispatch an important change involving two high of- ficials of the government will shortly be made by President Roosevelt.
 Eugene F. Ware of Kansas, the present commissioner of pensions, will be transferred to another post. He will be suc- ceeded as pension commissioner by Powell Clayton of Arkansas, who is ambassador to Mexico.
 The change will be made be- cause MT. Ware has not proved a shining success at the head of the pension bureau. Shortly after he succeeded H. Clay Evans of Tennessee in the office Mir. Ware was unfortunate enough to incur the displeasure of his im- mediate superior officer, Secre- tary of the Interior Hitchco ok. Since that time there has been constant friction between the two men, and it has had demoral- : izing effect upon the personel of the bureau.
 The president has not yet de- cided what position he will give MT. Ware but the chances are that he will be offered the first desirable consul-generalship that becomes vacant.
 He will not be given the am- bassadorship to Mexico, to be vacated by MT. Clayton, as that is one of the most desirable diplomatic posts in the service. :. MT. Clayton will be making a financial sacrifice, as the ambas- sadorship to Mexico pays him S17, ,OOO year, while the pension commissioner receives but S5, ,OOO year. He is wealthy, however, and it is understood he is will ing to make this sacrifice for the president, who is one of his closest personal friends.
 It is believed in administration circles that the appointment of MT. Clayton as pension commits sioner will strengthen Mr. Roose- welt politically, particularly in the south. MT. Clayton, while a southern man, is of northern birth, and served in the Union army during the civil war. He is extremely popular in Ark anSaS.

THE TRIBUNE opened way for the erection of monument at the grave of Eld. Standlee by start- ing the publication of a sub- scription list some months ago, which has raised the above sum without any personal solicitations on our part. Having thus shaped the matter it has been turned over to some of the leading members of the Baptist Associa- tion, who will conduct it from now on until the unveiling un- der the auspices of the associa- tiOn.

From the Territory.

Iron Bridge, I. T., Feb. IS, 'O3. Editor Green Forest TRIBUNE: As it has been several years since we wrote you, and as there has been quite change in the Territory's affairs we thought a few lines would be of interest to some of your many readers. The Territory is gradually developing and coming to the front, and will in a very few years be one of the fastest countries in the United States.
 There is more coal in Indian Territory than any country in the world. The Choctaw nation is literally underlaid with coal, and that with her fine farming and grazing lands is bound to make it a very rich country. Every neighborhood has it's school house and they are now having good schools, Sunday schools and churches. The writer lives in hearing of three school bells, and when we came here nine years ago there was none outside of the towns. The desperadoes that once infested the Territory have all out lived their usefulness and given long terms in the peniten- tiaries or killed and run out, so that Indian Territory is just about as clear of such gentry as the states.
 When we first came here the Bill Cooks, Cherokee Bills, the Bucks and the Jennings were plentiful enough for all purposes.
 But yet Indian Territory is not quite as happy as the above would appear to warrant, for there is strong talk of annexing us to Oklahoma, and that makes the Indian Territoryites as mad as Tucker, for they simply have no use for Oklahoma and will never be in favor of annexation to that land of sand hills, hard pan and cactus beds, and be compelled to pay the enormous debt of that country.
 The press of the Territory is fighting to the bitter end and if we lose it can't be said that it was a walkover.
 What Indian Territory really wants and should have is seperate statehood, and they will never be satisfied with anything else. The next best thing to seperate state- hood would be to annex us to the state of Arkansas.
 If Arkansas gets that forty mile strip 1 will be in Arkansas but we don't think that will even be. Very respectfully,
 FRANK BROWN.

Atwood says, among many other things:
 The Arkansas State Horticul- tural Society held the best meet ing in the history of the society al Green Forest, Feb. 10, il and 12. It was an earnest assembly oi men. The P. F. G. knew well enough that the citizens of Green Forest would do their part-and they did, nobly.
 We present an excellent report, especially taken for this journal by that prince of men, Judge I. B. Lawton, of Bentonville. The report will be completed in the next issue and as fast as space will permit will publish the papers that were presented.
 The Wednesday night session was entirely literary. The Green Forest cornet band and many vocalists gave most excellent music. Excellent recitations by Misses Maude Jaques, Ina Hart, Jessie Curtis, Annie Porter, Ettie Duncan, Edna Prather, Almeda Markley, Grace Wells, Clara Tanning, Bessie Prather, Virgie Blasingame, Ruth Poynor, Mary Fancher and Elsie Rush. The audience was highly pleased with the trained vocalists and the high standard of literary talent and gave them special vote of thanks.
 Every one was we'll cared for and all took away good opinions of the town and country.

THE STANDLEE MONUMENT
Will Be Unveiled at Annual As-
 sociatiOn in October.

Will Be Unveiled at Annual As sociation in October.
 The committee having the mat ter in charge have let the con- tract for the erection of a suitable monument to the memory of the late Isaac Standlee. The con- tract calls for the completion Of the monument by October 1.
 At this time the Carroll County Baptist Association meets at Pleasant Hill church at which place Eld. Standlee was buried and it is proposed to unveil the monument during the meeting of this body. This will be very fit ting, since Eld. Standlee was one of the prime movers in the or ganization of the Association in 1868 and had been i'll attendance at most every annual meeting of that body since the organization. Quite an able minister from Aurora, Mo-, is to be present and preach the memorial sermon, be- sides a number of other features of the program is yet to be ar ranged.
 The monument will cost S1OO, and but little more than one- half the amount has been subscribed. Certainly there are yet those who have not contributed to this fund who would like to do so. Any one desiring to subscribe may do so by notifying either w. J. Led better at Berryville or A. J. Rus sell at Green Forest.
 The subscriptions reported to THE TRIBUNE up to this time are as follows:

ECHOES FROM THE MEETING

Words of Conme ndation for the
 People of Green Forest.
 We extract the following from an article written by T. P. Fulton, editor of the Ozark Fruit Grower 8sof Siloam Springs, who attended sthe meeting of the State Horti. cultural Society at this place two Weeks ago:
 . "After leaving Berryville the country breaks away into hills 4nd ravines, and then the train again glides outin into a great basin,
 Something like Mason Valley in rzhis county, only the area is mmuch larger and the land is sgently rolling instead of being level. In the center of this great basin, and on the brow of hill -that slopes in every direction,
 stands the pretty little town of Green Forest. It has pop-
 ulation of 500 or 700, and has the M Mappearance of being a thrifty place. There are several hand
 eome brick business houses in the town, and the merchants as q rule, carry good stock of mer- chandise.
 A The soil around Green Forest is of sandy nature, and would make ideal peach and berry farms. M About 25O delegates and visit- prs were present, and the citizens manifested the deepest interest in
 proceedings. In fact, the object in holding the meeting at Green Forest was to arouse an Interest in horticultural matters, and the object was certainly at tained. The meeting was very Successful in every respect, and gAluch good was accomplished }, lpng all horticultural lines" .$ Mulvey, prominent fruit grower of Benton County, con- Tributes the following to the Rogers Republican:
 "We attended the recent meet ing of the State Horticultural Society held at Green Forest on the 10, Il, 12, and it was adjudg- ed to be the best ever held by that body, and the display of fruit surpassing that of any form ser one. It was an enthusiastic Reession and everybody was on the quivive for in formation. The arain on the first day was sure |enough dampener, making the etreets so muddy that the night eession was quite out of the 4uestion, but the succeeding Nays were beautifully clear, the mud dried rapidly. Many inn Sportant papers were read from Gthe discussion of which much \ valuable information was impart- Sed to all who heard them. The larger part of this will appear in |the annual publication of the &ociety and is for free distribution fo interested parties on applica- fon. The importance of such meetings can scarcely be realized HIT those not in attendance. eif, influence in arousing de- ,d .ebr more information on /, sAese lines and causing a more ensive and scientific growing NfRuits is bound to result in en- ,Amg the farmers and com- s1 s1adhity especially in which these Aheetengs occur.

A Coming LaWYer.

A young lady teacher in a West Phil
adelphia kindergarten thinks that she
has discovered a philadelphia law
yer" in embryo. She made the discov-
cry in one Of the exercises incident to
teaching the young idea how to count.
After drawing five ones on the black
board and writing beneath the five
successive numerals, one, two, three,
four, five, together with painstaking
verbal explanation, she attempted to
test the understanding of the little ones
by turning to one bright eyed little fell
low and putting the question:
"Now, Donald, which would you
rather have, five pennies or five cent
pieces?

piled.
"Why, Donald?" asked the teacher
patiently.
Because said Donald you see, IL

you'd have one left; but If you lost the
five cent piece, why, it would all

A Royal Romance.

Carmen Sylvia, the royal authoress,
met her husband, the king of Rouma-
MIA, in quite a romantic way. AS a
girl of seventeen she was running down
the staircase of the palace at Berlin
when her foot slipped on the marble,
and she would have fallen to the floor
below, but at the moment Prince
Charles Of Hohenzollern stepped from
an anteroom and caught her in lis
arms. She did not accept him, although
he made her the offer at once. In joke
for it was then most unlikely-she
said she preferred to remain queen Of
herself, but if she became queen of any
country at all she would prefer Rou-
mania. Eight years afterward the
beautiful Carmen was married to
Prince Charles, who had been proclaim
ed king Of Roumania, and thus she re-
allied her ambition.

Ivy Clad BuildinDs.

So long as the walls of building are
sound and the bricks or stones, well
cemented together, offer no assures or
cracks for the plant to force its way
into, there is nothing whatever to fear.
Should the ivy, however, find an open
ing, and so thrust itself into the wall,
the natural and continuous expansion
Of its parts will tend to loosen the
stones and hasten the decay Of the
building.
A fair growth Of ivy on sound walls
that allow Of no advances beyond the
superficial attachment Of the claspers,
or aerial roots, as they are called, Is al
together beneficial. It promotes dry
ness and warmth, counteracts the cor
rosive action Of the atmosphere and Is
at once G shelter and an ornament
These aerial roots are not sources Of
nutrition, but merely serve as mechan-
ical support to the climbing ivy. The
contention that they sap the whole Of
the moisture from mortar, leaving it
excessively dry and crumbling, has
therefore no foundation in fact.--Lon-
don Standard.

There is as much mystery as history
connected with the common tuber call
ed the potato. It's nativity, original
place in the kingdom of nature and
several other things regarding it are
still open questions. AS to its nativity
the weight of argument seems to favor
the tropical or subtropical regions of
America. There is tradition that the
vines once grew to monstrous size and
that the "balls" were Of the ''bigness
Of melons," and at that time the roots
were not tubers. the edible parts grow
ing among the branches. 1t seems that
they were first introduced into Europe
in the year 1865.
Haskell's "Roots and Wild Plants"
says, "Wamkins first fetched a queer,
Dubious root out of America which
some called 'bodado,' while others,
who had heard the Peruvians mention
1t, spoke Of it as potato" Pertains
Cyclopedia of Agriculture says that Sir
John Wamkins found it growing wild
near Santa Fee de Bogota at an alti-
tude Of 5000 to 1900 feet. He also
says that 1T was fetched out Of Amer
lea" at about the time settled upon by
Haskell-viz, in the year 1865.
