Thus in four years there was a
change in political sentiment in the
west which converted a plurality for

for Mckinley and Roosevelt of 81, 1863
and more than reversed the figures in

Paraguay Tea.

There comes from Paraguay to the Journal of Tropical Medicine news of m apparently harmless beverage which Is the sole stay and stimulant of the working classes in Paraguay and the Argentine Republic. It is often known as Paraguay tea or mate, and an at- tempt made to introduce 1t into this country some years ago failed because --as we may guess-there were more potent competitors in the field. It is usually drunk as hot infusion. through . metal tube, but may be taken like tea, with milk and sugar. Workmen take if with them wherever they go and sip f! occasionally. Wood cutters will work on 1t for five or six hours before break fast, and the writer declares that, taken at night, 1t makes nursing, study or what doctors call night work" real pleasure. Analysis does not explain these results, and lifelong and persistent use appears to have no evil consequences. This would be good substitute for the num- berless patent medicines which supply alcohol to women, or even, in at least one familiar case. cocaine.--London Chronicle.

ROCK ISLAND
 DEPENDS CONDUCTORS.

According to reports the plac- ing of ticket takers" on all lines of the Rock Island is noth- ing more than than the establish ing of an auditing system, says the Little Rock Democrat.
 A conductor on the Iron Mount ain was talking of the matter and expressed himself as being very much surprised at the action of the company in this matter. He stated that putting these men on the company's trains was a direct intimation that the com- pany suspected the conductors of dishonesty and that it would not be of any interest to the road. It is a we'll known fact that there are "spotters" going over the road at all times, and that the conductors know noth- ing of their whereabouts. These men, it is said, are Pinkerton de- tectives, and are continually on the watch for the dishonest con- ductor. The fact that extremely few passenger conductors are discharged goes to prove that there are none who attempt to defraud the company.
 It is said that the conductors on the Choctaw district of the Rock Island are sore on account of the action of the company, as they feel that it is a direct slap.

WOOTEN MARRIES
 MISS M'BEE.

Two oflthe popular young mem- bers of Cotter's society circles sprang a. surprise on their friends last Friday night, says the Cot ter Courier. MT. Frank Wooten, son of Mrs. Lena Wooten, is a resident of Dahlonega, Ga. He has been visiting his mother for some time, and became a favor ite in society. Miss Myrtle McBee, beautiful, accomplished, and the only daughter of Mrs. ,Winnifred McBee, of McBee's Landing, captured Franks heart, and in turn gave him her troth. But their young associates were none the wiser until last Friday night when a telephone message announced that they had been married at the Hartford Hotel in Yellville. The happy couple gave a reception to their friends at the house of the groom's mother in Cotter Wednesday night, and were the recipients of hearty congratulations. Frank, here's to you; may you live long and prosper. The young couple will go to the worlds fair next week and then tour the northern states.

FUNERAL OF
 RAYMOND BOWEN.

The funeral of little Raymond Bowen Tuesday afternoon was largely attended by friends of the sorrowing parents who fol- lowed the remains to their last resting place in Walnut Grove.
 The funeral service, conducted by Rev. T. F. Richardson, was very sweet and suitable to the occasion. The music was in charge of Mrs. T. s. Stephens.
 The little white casket was covered with many beautiful floral emblems given by friends, notable among which for it's beauty was an exquisite bunch of white roses and ferns from little Walter Wallace, his child companion.
 The pail bearers were John Umsted, Arthur Bowie, James Calvin and Bert Snetzer.

COTTON CONTINUES
 TO DETERIORATE.
Crop Report for Week Ending Monday Shows Drought Has
 Not been Broken.

The first of the week was warm, with high day tempera- lures and seasonable night tenn peratures; the latter part was cool. Local showers fell during the week, but over most of the state the drought remains
 broken. Cotton continues to de- teriorate; it is suffering from lack of moisture generally, and in many sections of the state is shedding badly, and in some sec tions boil worm and rust are also injuring it. The crop is begin ming to open in some sections, but picking has not yet begun. Early corn made a good crop; the late is suffering from lack of moisture, and the indications are for only fair crop. Wheat threshing is about completed; the yields secured were generally satisfactory, and the quality of the grain was fair to good. Some fall blowing for wheat has been done. Late potatoes and sweet potatoes would be benefited by rain. There is still complaint of apples and late peaches dropping, and the indications are that these crops will not be up to the aver age either in yield or in quality. Stock is generally doing well.

LAYING OFF SITE
 FOR FREIGHT DEPOT.

J. M. Hamilton, a civil engin- ger in the employ of the Iron Mountain, was here Wednesday laying off a site for the location of the new freight depot, which he thinks will be built at once and completed in time fora the heavy business of the late fall and early winter. The site chos- en is in the south end of the rail- road park, instead of the north, as at first proposed, the building reaching from about 80feet north of the roadmaster's office, 26Q feet to a point even with Laurel street.
 All the park fences are to dis appear and the switch track to be put in at once,, so that the building material may be laid down at the site. There will be two unloading tracks east of the depot and between that building

SOUGHT TO WRECK
 MOUNTAIN PASSENGER.
DastardIy Work of Men Near Homan, on Iron Mountain,
 Caused Wreck.

A dastardly attempt was made near Homan, on the main line of the Iron Mountain, to wreck pas senger train No. 8 Sunday night. The engine left the track and turned on it's side, followed by the baggage and mail cars, but these were not damaged to any considerable extent. The en- ployes of the train at once made an investigation of the track and found that several spikes had been removed and that one rail was loose for some distance. The spikes had been drawn and thrown off the right of way, and in some instances none had been left on the road bed. Several were found near the place. The railroads best detectives have been bsee,t to Homan, and if the men are caught it is said that an example will be ma .e of them. It has been some time since an attempt to wreck a train in this state was made and the officials, as well as the public, are indignant at the procedure.
 Superintendent Tyler has tele- graphed Sheriff Hood, of the county in which the crime was committed, offering a reward of $250 for the arrest of the guilty persons. It is believed that they are professionals, as the track was tempered with on a curve, and the spikes were removed very Systematically.

MURPHY SCORCHES
 HIS CRITICS.

Colonel c. w. Murphy, who in a recent letter to a friend that found it's way into print, an- nouced his intention of support ing the Republican nominee, Harry Myers, for governor, has again contributed a scorching roast upon his critics to add fuel to the campaign fires.
 Of J. L. Graham of Searcy, known as Cyclone Jim," and a few others of his ilk, whom Mur- phy calls goose mouthed adula- tors." he says: "They are desti- ute of all the elements of rea- son, and when they try to draft an idea from their fundless cran- iums, it only results in a hopeless expenditure of effort that must have caused immitation conges- tion in the indefinable substance in the region of their anatomy where the brain ought to be, but is not. "
 To Congressman Brundidge and men of his intellect, he di- rects his argument, that no Dem- ocrat, knowing Davis as he does, can feel it his duty to vote for the very embodiment of dishon- esty and falsehood as the chief representative of the party.
 He proclaims his intention of re- fusing longer to notice Davis vile calumnies against him and closes his letter in these words: And if I shound forget myself so far as to consider him in con- nection with what he may say hereafter, it would only be with the toe of the boot or the tip of the lash."

ARKANSAS APPLE
 HOLDS THE FLAG.
Arkansas Allows Oklahoma Very Short Period to Gloat Over
 Her Triumph.

St. Louis, Aug. 30. Great in- terest and enthusiasm have been manifested in Horticultural Hall over the contest as to which state could show the largest fruit. Ar kansas, from the opening of the fair until August 23, has kept the flag waving over the largest apple in the building, having on display all the time apples weigh ing twenty-three ounces, and measuring fifteen and one-half inches.
 On August 23 the superintend- ent of the Oklahoma exhibit came over with an apple meas uring fifteen and one-half inches and weighing twenty-four ounces and demanded the flag. It was surrendered cheerfully, with in- structions to take good care of it, as Arkansas would call for it again in a short while.
 The morning of the 24th brought from James Howard the apple that redeemed the flag. It was sixteen and one-half inches in circumference, and weighed twenty-nine ounces, so Arkansas brought the flag back, and now 1t waves over the largest apple that has ever been exhibited in Horticultural hall.
 The victory of Oklahoma was very short-lived, lasting only the small space of twenty-four hours.

NEGROES SANG AT WORK.
CTS in the Streets of New Orleans.

The French opera singers were spectA- tors of a picturesque street scene night or two ago in the vicinity of the old French opera house, says the New Or leans Times-Democrat. Bourbon street was being paved with asphalt, and the work was being hastened so as to have that portion of the street near the opera house accessible for carriages by ths time of the opening of the French op era season.
 On this account an unusually large force of workmen were engaged. and in order to push the work to an early conn., pletion the men worked at night. huge torches being used. In one block. be- tween St. Louis and Toulouse streets. hore than 100 men were working.
 Every one familiar with the negro knows that, in so far as he Is able, ha sets his work to music. It is a fact often marveled at that the negro, when he is singing or chanting in sort of rhythmic mood, works with more ardor than under different conditions. And if an extra de- mand is made on the negro workman he Aings or chants the louder.
 The members of the French opera, or at least many of them, heard for the first time the real melody of the negro voics that night. It was that swishful, poetic thing caricatured in the ragtime of the stage, a certain subtle, indefinable some thing which no composer has ever been able to fit to the well-measured octaves of musical arrangements. It was the suneful, heaving call of the levee, the mellow sunset cry of the cotton fields. The flaring torch, the bustling hither and thither, the heavy fall of the implements of toil-all those things gave exquisite tone to the setting.

Doubtless the only members of the governments gigantic force of em- ployes who goto work before nine o'clock q. m. and continue toiling until sun down are the Italian bees kept by the de- partment of agriculture. These, the smallest of our domestic animals, are kept by the department for experimental purposes and for stocking its various substations. says the Washington Post Some time ago these government bees discovered that Center maket was . far better pasture than the flower beds and vegetable gardens of the depart ment. and there they resort every day. to no small discomfort and annoyance of commission dealers, hucksters, gard ners and restaurant proprietors. whose stock in trade the industrious little in- sects prey upon.
 In some cities the rats and mice are troublesome, and In others crickets, grain insects, and various other bugs prey upon the perishables, but Center market is the only market in the United States where the most serious pest Is the insects which belong to the government They eat holes in the peaches, poach on the grapes. gather honey from cante- loupes, and are the first to find the soft spots in pineapples and bananas. What Is more, there are about Center market number of open-air eating booths, tc which the bees resort in large numbers to collect honey from various sweet dishes, particularly apricot, apples peach, prune and huckleberry pie. The funny part of 1t all is that the commis- sion dealers, fruit handlers and res taurant keepers are afraid to offer any opposition to their intrusion for fear the plucky little insects will resent 1t.
 Hardly week passes that some one does not get stung by the government. bees, who object to rough handling and treatment With the juice and wax which they collect from apples, melons peaches, oranges, pineapples, grapes. bananas and pies in the market, they lay up their store of winter honey. The only time the restaurant keepers are able to even up with these little pests ie when they have batch of hot pies or bread pudding on hand. They it hap pens occasionally that some over-hasty government bee gets his feet scorched. In such cages they hover about the pies until they have cooled off, now and then alighting on the crust to test the tom. perature of the tempting bait.

 MT. Hamilton has been urged by the mayor and others that he embody the recommendation in his report that as many of the park trees as possible be left standing.
 The several tracks will con- verge in the old switch which strikes the main line north of the new warehouse of the Newport Grocer Company.
