But with this they have drawn
up description of what a good
Hereford bull or a good Hereford
COW should be, and if this is read
in connection with photographs of
celebrated animals of the breed it
is believed it will meet the case.
The descriptions are as follows:
The Hereford is essentially n beef
breed and reaches maturity at an
early age aud at less cost than any
other breed. The steers readily
fatten at two years old on grass
alone, and in the summer months
they command top price in the
London market.
The bull should have II moder-
ately short head, broad forehead
and horns nearly resembling the
color of wax, springlng out from
the side of the forehead and
slightly drooping--those with
black tops or turning upward are
not with favor--the eye should he
full and prominent, the nose
should be broad and clear--a
black nose is Objectionable; the
body should be massive and cylin-
drical on short legs, the outline
straight, chest full and deep,
shoulder sloping, but lying well
open at the top between the
blades, neck thick and arched
from the head to the shoulders,
ribs well sprung, flank deep. but
tocks broad and well let down to
the hooks, the tail neatly set and
evenly filled between the setting
of the tail and thigh bones, which
should not he prominent; the
whole carcass should be covered
with firm flesh; the skin should
be thick and mellow TO the touch,
with soft, curly hair of red color,
but the face, top of neck and IN
der parts of the body should be

THE FINEST OF
 NEW ENTERPRISES.

A St. Louis bank started the trouble by establishing a stock ing room" for the convenience of it's lady patrons. Next a hos iery manufacturer produced a stocking with a pocket in it.. Now some Connecticut Yankees are trying to contrive a combina- tion lock for the pocket. Very enterprising banks may soon bt distributing lock-pocket sock for savings on the you-have-the bank-we-h -have-the-key plan. 1, will be an inspiring sight wher the depositors line up to be un- locked, and the bank officer who is appointed to act as turnkey should be one capable of bend ing to his work with energy, yet ever mindful of the grave re- sponsibilities of his position. - Bank Notes.

That he would preserve the dignity of his office in this act of the flunky no one doubts, but some one had to ask, what would the captain do in case of a rusty lock that resisted the efforts of the turnkey, and another answered; "He would

KILLED WITH HIS
 OWN PISTOL.

Cabot, May 23. Charley Will liamson of Bayou Meto township, twelve miles west of this place, was accidentally shot by his own pistol Saturday, and died a few minutes later.
 The deceased, with his brother.' was out hunting. The two| stopped at a branch to get-a drink of water and to rest. As Charley started to stoop over the branch his pistol fell from his pocket. Only one chamber was loaded, but that one bullet was dis charged with fatal effect by the hammer striking a rock.
 The ball entered just below the heart and passed completely through the body. He lived but a few minutes afterward.

OUR CITY SCHOOL.

In nothing, perhaps, has our southland shown the spirit ot progress since the war more than in the provisions made for the education of the masses. Every community has it's com mon school, while our cities and larger towns have their graded schools. Among the latter we are happy to recognize our own little city by the beautiful White river.
 Having been appointed a com, mittee to visit the ninth and tenth grades under the immediate supervision of Prof. c. B. Hop kins, we availed ourselves of this opportunity to look in upon the most of the teachers and their classes. The general inn pression made upon the commit tee was, that we are fortunate in having in our school a body of capable. working teachers. We were pleased with what we saw and heard.
 From the primaries to the highest grades the pupils i'm pressed us favorably by the cheer

fulness of their demeanor, their evident respect for their teach CTS, and the readiness with which they undertook the tasks assigned them, although much of this work was not in their text books and never gone over specifically by the classes. This was no ticeably the case with these higher grades.
 Prof. Hopkins is evidently a capable principal, and while not severely exacting of his pupils, he most evidently showed to each one that he must stand on his own merits in the work demanded in the examination.
 We feel confident that with increased facilities and oppor. tunities to build upon the founda- tions laid the past year, Prof. Hopkins will demonstrate strik- ingly his eminent fitness for the position he holds, and will pre-. pare our boys and girls most ad. mirably for the higher courses te be obtained in the colleges of oul own and other states.

THE WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
Weather Favorable for All Kinds of Crops Planting Fin ished- Warm Nights
 Aid Growth.

The weekly crop bulletin of the Arkansas section of the weather bureau for the week ending May 23, is as follows:
 The weather has been favor able for farming operations and has enabled the farmers to finish replanting and planting over, and to cultivate their crops. The nights have been too cool for the, proper growth of vegetation and, warmth is needed. Rain has fallen in some localities and has been beneficial, while moisture is needed in other localities.
 Corn is generally backward and making slow growth. The stand is fair as rule, but there is some complaint of the stand being unsatisfactory. Cultiva- tion is progressing and in some places is being plowed the second time.
 Continued cool weather has been unfavorable for cotton. It is coming up slowly and con- plaints of irregular stands con- tinue from nearly all sections; some is dying. Cut worms have appeared in some localities and are doing some damage. Chop ping has commenced and as a rule the crop is clean.
 Garden truck and Irish potatoes continue to do we'll.
 Fruit prospects have improved and there promises to be an abundance of good fruit of all kinds. Apples are dropping, but that is more beneficial than other wise, as the trees are too heavily laden.

MURD, \ppYEoRY
 khooT SUSTAINED. ExplodingN mp is Now Given as Means Pf Dr. Lightle's
 Death at Searcy.

About Il 10 Sunday night Marshal BdvJones discovered the wood shed of Dr. R. G. Lightle on fire and at once hast ened to the scene, says the Scar cy Citizen. Messrs. T. E. Prew- cit, Sam Brassfeld, Eugene Cy- pert and others saw the fire and were soon on the spot. Upon reaching there the men discov- cred an odor, the like of which they had never before smelled and upon looking closely found something that they thought looked like a bone. Procuring a long pole, they struck the object and discovered that it was a human being. After pouring about fifty buckets of water on it they succeeded in dragging the burned object from the flames, but not until both arms and both legs were entirely burned off and the brain exposed. So badly was the body mutilated that rec ognition was impossible. A short time ago Dr. StilWell had done some dental work for Dr. Lightle and this work was identified by Dr. Stilwell, also some article of clothing that he had seen him
 wear. His watch, physicians
 thermometer and keys aided in
 the Identification. MT. Barton l Watkins left him at Il o'clock
 last night and Dr. Lightle re-
 marked to him that he could not
 retire until he filled his lamp.
 The supposition is that he went
 out of the back door with his lamp to the wood shed to fill it
 and that there the lamp exploded
 and the shock from the explosion caused him to fall on the wood, where he was burned to death. The back door of the house was
 found open, the cover turned j down, and his cuffs and hat lying on the bed, every indication points to the fact that he was ready to retire. It was hoped for some time that he had been called out, being a practicing
 physician, but when time passed on and he still did not return and } the above identification being made, nothing could be done but accept the facts and submit to the inevitable.
 Dr. Lightle was a member of
 very prominent family in Scar
 cy, president of the Board of Health, deacon in the Presbyte- : rian church and a practicing l physician. The whole of Searcy mourn with the family because of the horrible fate of this useful } young man. Mrs. Lightle has been telephoned for and will
 arrive tonight at 8::30. His re-
 mains will probably be laid to
 rest tomorrow morning.
 I To his wife and two little daughters who are away on a visit to relatives, we extend our deepest sympathy, also to the poor bereaved mother, sister and brother.

Newport Wholesale Grocer Co.,. Freight Depots and
 Beer House Burned. saF BLAZE IS NOT AS YET KNOWN. 

flames and the millions of flying sparks and frebrands. The coaches of the branch passenger were also removed and only two ibox cars were lost, both being loaded.
 THE BURNED BUILDINGS.
 The Anderson elevator, where the fire originated, was owned
 and occupied by the Newport
 Wholesale Grocer Company, stood about midway between the main line track of the Iron Mountain and White river, and was a four story frame structure built there several years ago for a grain ele- vator. but more recently has been used as a store-room and warehouse by the grocer com pany.
 The beer house, as it was known, was the property of the Wm. J. Lemp Brewing Company of St. Louis and used as ware house for the product of that brewery by the agent here, J. B. Doherty.
 The Iron Mountain freight de- pot, opposite the elevator, was a long one-story building, standing between the switching tracks. The pumping plant was just across a single track from the depot, and furnished water from the river to the tank and up right water pipes, from which every engine on the road was supplied.
 The mammoth elevator and warehouse on the bank of the river was also railroad property and used for storage of freight either to or from the boats ply ing in White river.
 THE LOSSES AND INSURANCE. The Anderson building was valued at $10,000 and was in- sured for $6,O00. The loss on the stock is $75,OOO, with insu- rance amounting to $7O,OOO. All the companies sustaining losses are represented by the Phillips & Ferguson agency.
 The Lemp building was in- sured, also by the Phillips & Fer guson agency, for $1,200, while $1, 900 was carried on the con- tents.
 Freight Agent Robinson esti-
 mated that there was about S6.-
 900 worth of freight in the depot and stated that insurance was , carried on all the railroad prop erty destroyed, but was unable to give the exact figures. : THE FIRES ORIGIN. ! The origin of the costly fire of Monday night is a complete mys- 3 tery and will probably remain so. F There had been no fire about the building, and when first discov-
 cred was bursting from the roof
 in great sheets of flame. But little was saved from any of the burning buildings. A : small part of the brewery stock was rolled out, and the books, freight bills and piano were
 saved rom the freight depot.
 TO REBUILD AT ONCE. s A. G. Anderson of the New g port Grocer Company stated on : Tuesday morning that his firm g would rebuild at once, and that : their business would not be ma terially interfered with. 5 The freight depot and pump r ing plant will also be reconstruct- ] ed immediately, while the beer : house will in all probability be f replaced before hot weather.

AEMh
 mostS disastrous fire that N has occurred in Newport since
 the big compress confagration of 1898 was the one discovered in the upper portion of the An derson elevator about 9:20 o clock Monday night.
 The blaze was discovered by railroad men in the local yards, and the alarm immediately given by the footing of the switch en- zine whistles, which in a very remarkably short time attracted a crowd of several hundred peo- pie to the scene.
 The fire department made good tinAe in the run of about three blocks and soon had the hose connection made at the corner of Front and Main streets and a stream of water playing upon the burning building, but by this time the flames had gained such headway that it seemed the water only added fuel to the already doomed building.
 1hery short time the ire had spread to the Lemp Brewing Company's warehouse adjoining the elevator, and it did not ther require much time to communl cate to the big freight depot ol the St. Louis, Iron Mountain ( Southern railway, the pumping plant and the big frame elevato1 and warehouse which stood upor the banks of White river.
 The reflection of the brillian hues against the skies was dis cernable for miles, and railroad men arriving here from Hoxi' Wednesday morning stated tha it looked like the whole sectiol was in flames.
 When the fact became appar ent that the fire department wa utterly powerless to handle th' rapidly spreading confagra tion the switch engines in th' yards began removing the hun dreds of freight cars which stooy upon the tracks, the engine, from the Batesville passengel and No. 12 also being pressed into service to get all the mova ble property out of the way o-
