Has a Bad Case.

Our evening contemporary gets quite
wrathy because we do not fall over our
selves in coming to his assistance in the
making of statements that anyone with
even a small part Of common sense
would see are unreasonable. We would
suggest TO the gentleman who occupies
the tripod that he mix about ten per
cent. of horse sense with his hundred
per cent. Of gullibility and he will miss
making himself the laughing stock Of
the town quite so often. He slashes
about with arguments why coke ovens
should be put at different point from
where coal Is mined and cites cotton
mills iron smelters and zinc smelters In
proof Of his position. In the case Of the
last named We will say that he is in
error Of no zinc smelters being located
In the zinc mining regions west of the
Mississippi. The writer personally
visited Just such plant in Joplin, Mo.
the center Of the zinc mining region
and watched Its operations.
OF course. the self-same writer Is not
aware that 1t requires lime and coal
to smelt iron ore and that It is cheaper
to haul the ore to the coal and lime than
this to the ore. But where these can be
found In proximity-as at Bessemer, I,
Ala. you will find the smelters there.
The self same writer is very likely un-
aware that New England water power
its nearness to the market for the fin
ished products, its transportation facili-
| ties. etc. were the cause Of cotton mills
locating there instead Of In the south
and even now they are beginning to move
to the center Of cotton production.
None of these things could be said re-
garding the establishment here of coke
ovens instead of at Chester, the point
where this company proposes to mine
the coal-if they ever ind more than
the or 10 inch vein which has been
/ known to exist there for many years.
Now, as regards us as knocker
such charge, coming from the source
1t does, has no weight. This paper has
always made it a rule not to make mis-
leading statements regarding Van Buren
and Crawford county. That this sec.
tion has enough to recommend it to the
man seeking home without publishing
a lot Of rot regarding things we dc
not have. The speculator and land.
shark need look for no assistance from
us for we consider one good home-seeker
superior to dozen Of these gentry, SC
far AS the permanent good to the county
Is concerned.

A negro named Rucks was pretty
seriously wounded by pistol shot dur
ing the evening following the negro
picnic st Shibley last Friday. At first
the wound appeared trivial, but gan
creme set In and made tue matter look
serious. None Of the negroes present
seem to know nothing about who fred
the shot or any particulars and the
officers think they don t want to know.
The Produce Reporter Co. with head
quarters at Minneapolis, Mimi, have
established an Office here with two in
spectors. Their business Is the inspect
Ing and grading Of fruit. A copy of
their report is then forwarded to Min
nsapolis, and on the arrival Of the car
at its destination the employees of the
company again inspect 1t and the com
bined report it accepted by commission
firms. The Frank Smeltzer Fruit Co.
and j. L. Rea, who hsue their ship
ments inspected, are well pleased with
the result and others are likely to adopt
the system.
1t Is stated on good authority that the
Iron Mountain intends to cut the force
of telegraphers on its lines In accord
ance with the announced policy Of re-
trenchment, and that the force at Mer
Rouge, which consisted Of six men has
been cut 33t per cent. that is, out Of the
six men there two have been laid off
II Is thought that the cut Is only tempor-
ary and that as soon rs the dull freight
business Of the summer improves the
regular force will be put to work. II is
said that there will be like cut on the
entire system, but as yet there has been
no action in that direction In this city.
We believe peaches can be grown In
Crawford county at profit when they
bring even less than dollar per bushel,
and 1t is just rs we'll for our growers to
make up their minds to face such a
proposition in future seasons, for un-
less all signs fail good crop two
years from now will mean doubling,
at least, of this years immense crop.
What is now needed and needed badly,
Is canning factory here to work up the
surplus crop. Daily now hundreds Of
bushels of peaches culled from the pack
ing and which would make fine preserv-
ing peaches are going to waste within
few miles Of Van Buren.
RI. Tallman paid fine Wednesday on
two charges of using profane language
over the telephone, The mayor after
having the city attorney examine the
ordinance passed during the last year
WAS only able to assess u fine OF 81 0C
and costs instead Of $25 which many
thought would about fit the gravity Of
the case. The ordinance was found TO
conflict with the state laws, and 1t is
up to the council to now pass an ordi
nance properly drawn. The offense Mr..
Tallman WAS guilty of was using pro.
fame language toward the central girls
at the telephone Office because, owing
to all but one line to that place being
down, they could not give him Fort
Smith as quickly Ms he desired.

Parker as a Man.

Ii is related that when the pres
ent:incumbent of the White House
was governor Of New York state,
Judge Parker and he used often
to ride horseback together. One
morning in May, 1900, they were
ont for u canter. AT that time
Col. Roosevelt was much talked
Of as the candidate for vice.presi-
dent with Mckinley. He was
vehemently protesting to Parker
that he did not want the place.
"Of course" said Parker, "you
do not want the vice.presidential
nomination becaure you expect to
I've president some day."
"Oh, | am not so sure about
that" Roosevelt replied. "Bnt
there ia one thing | would like to
have above any other in the gift
of the people or the government"
"What is itf' asked Parker,

"No," said Roosevelt, "ifI ] could

the ideal place. Just think Of the

placate, no congress TO consult
