board triumnhed again last night and
gained complete control of the machln-
cry OF the board by accepting the
resignation Of J. w. McNeal as presi.
dent and member Of the board and
elccting A o. Farluhsrson, who con
tested with Mr.. McNeal two months

Vacancy The resignation was ac
cepted only after those members who
desired to do so were given an oppor-
tunity tn give vent to their feelings,
which they did to the evident satisfac-
ton Of the attentive spectators.
The meeting last night gave every
promise Of being an exceedingly tame
affair and until Mr. McNeal arose and
commenced reading his letter Of resig-
nation there had not been ripple of
excitement Early in the meeting Mr..
MeNeal asked Mr. Farquharson to take
the chair and after some routine mat
ters were disposed Of Mr. McNeal
arose and commenced reading his let
ter Of resignation. which covered four
typewriter pages Of foolscap size. He
had scarcely reached the heart Of his
subject when he was interrupted by
Mr. Booth. who rose to a point OF or
der that the board should not listen to
that portion of the resignation in
which an attempt was being made tc
cast reflection upon the character OF
Superintendent r. r. Buck Chair
man Earauharson ruled the point OF
order not well taken and Booth, who
had bis scrapping clothes buttoned
closely about him. appealed from the
decision Of the chair The vote re
suited in the chair being sustained and
Mr.. McNeal proceeded with his read
ing. Extracts from letters written by
citizens Of lndianola. Ia. in response
to letters OF inquiry concerning Prof
Buck were read. and in closing the re
firing president thanked the board fol
the uniform courtesy and suppor
which the board had given him in the
past" but maintained that he did no
deem Il best to remain as a membe
OF the board after what, he alleged
the "Buck- Henderson combine" had &C
compllshed.

GOPHER WILL
 GET NEW SHOPS.

It is stated that railroad shops will be located at Cotter, says the Little Rock Democrat, within a a very short time. It is said that this is the outcome of a great deal of overtime which is being made at that place by en- gineers and others who are com- pelled to do their own work.
 Master Mechanic Machin, who has charge of that work, could not be seen today, but it is cer- tain that the shop will be estab- lished at once. MT. Machin will name the foreman, and it is pos sible that some of the machinists who are at present employed in the Barring Cross shops will be sent there. This will not affect the number of employees here, but will make a place for few more there.

 Winland, it seems, was not only guilty of repeatedly. break ing these insulators by shots from his pistol, but would return from Newport at night and fire his gun near every farm house he passed. He sought the repu- tation of desperate and found the penalty.

LIGHTNING STRIKES
 FOUR PEOPLE.

Rogers, Sept. 22. Misses Liz zie Davis and Dean King and Messrs. Chub Watkins and John Anderson, all of this place, were struck by lightning yesterday af- ternoon and seriously, if not fa- tally, injured. They are en- ployes at the fruit evaporator, and were in the dryer at the time the storm came up, and went to the furnace room for safety.
 They had been there a very short time when the building was struck by lightning. Two other young men were knocked down, but not seriously injured. The clothing of the two young ladies was set on fire, and had it not been for immediate assistance they would have been burned alive. As it was, they sustained serious injuries and probably will not recover. The property was only slightly damaged.

HOW TO HANDLE SKUNKS.
Try Method Here Described and See
How EASY 1t Is to Avoid Un-
pleasant Results.

Frequently skunks will take up their
abode about the farm buildings where
for various good reasons they are not
welcome guests. 1t is often puZZling
question how to get rid OF them without
a very unpleasant experience. A writer
in Bee GlCaningS gives the following in
formation relative to trapping them:
Fasten the trap chain to the end of a
ten-foot pole or board, heavy enough so
they cannot drag it away. Then, instead
of putting them in a nail keg Tin which
case you would have about 80 failures
out of every 100 skunks, or shooting
them. in which case, if you try it. you
would think there We're at least 200 fail
ures out of every 100 trappeD, approach
the rear end of the pole or board eau
tiously, and fasten rope to it five or six
feet in length. Then start off slowly
dragging skunk and all after you You
can drag them any distance you see fit,
and there will be no odor Then you
can dispatch them in any manner you
wish. But, kill them as you will (unless
you take hold of the pole and dip them
In water deep enough to submerge
them), there will be odor. The object OF
this method is to get the odor if any. a

Ravages of Absinth.

M. Rochefort's recent advocacy Of
temperance has directed attention to the
consumption of absinth in France, and
some startling statements in connection
Herewith are being made. Men as q
rule take the absinth diluted in water,
slipping it slowly. But the women, to
the CONSERVATION of the doctors, insist,
as a rule, on drinking it neat" with
most terrible results to their constitu-
tions. The number Of brilliant men
whom France has lost through the abuse
Of the opalescent but poisonous fluid,
from the great poet Alfred de Musset,
who used to be picked up drunk and
half dead every night in the streets, down
to the celebrated artist and caricaturist.
Andre Gill, is simply appalling. An
idea Of the exteut of the evil may be
gathered from the recent returns Of the
ministry of finance, which show that at
the present moment there is marchand
de vim, or French absinth seller, to ev-
cry three houses in the French metropo-
is.-Westminster Gazette.

To Run the Gantlet.

ITO run the gantlet" originated in
Germany and Travelled thence to Eng
land, finally becoming oSmesticated in
America. In both the German and Eng
lish armies and navies, about the time
of the settlement of America, running
the gantlet was q punishment for mis-.
demeanor, the soldiers Of company or
regiment being placed in two lines fac
ing each other, each man armed with a
switch. The culprit ran between the
two files and received upon his bare
back the switches of his comrades. An
officer stood by to see that the punish
ment was properly enforced, and any
soldier who failed to do his duty was
himself liable to make the journey be-
tween the two files. The Indians along
the coast of Virginia are said to have
observed this punishment inflicted upon
some sailors of an English man-of- war
and Immediately adopted the idea fer
torturing their enemies. Hence came tn.
belief that the punishment or torture
was peculiar to the aborigines of North
America.

are with difficulty made profitable on
such crops as corn and wheat, their
profitable use for a leguminous crop.
such as cowpeas or clover, which are
known to be able to gather large part
of their nitrogen from the air, would
naturally be much more difficult. Acid
phosphate has been found to increase
greatly the yields of both the hay and
the peas but especially the yield of peas
One of the most economical ways in
which to improve poor soil has been
found to be the growing of cowpeas
fertilized with acid phosphate good
)lan in the case of wornout soil is to
plant the peas in rows, using acid phos-
phate at the rate of 300 pounds to the
acre. The peas should be cultivated at
least twice. The seed can be picked or
the crop can be pastured off to good
| advantage. In order to derive perman-
ent benefit from this method of soil i'm
provement it is not advisable to remove
the crop as hay unless the equivalent in
stable manure be returned to the land
The pea roots, stubble and fallen leaves
contain only about one-third of the
total plant food gathered by the crop
and could be expected to give only tenn
porary improvement.-Tenn Agri

Colds. Their Proper Treatment and Cure.

Commonly, the first symptom of cold !"
Is a chilly feeling, accompanied by sneez-
ing, or tickling in the throat. The most
frequent of external causes are draughts,
wet or cold feet, or going from hot rooms
suddenly into cold ones. More frequently
there is an inner cause-name1y the stagna-
ton of the blood caused by constipation or
biliousness. Almost the first symptom is
the feeling of cold in the feet and increased
discharge from the nose.
No one ever takes cold unless consti-
pated, or exhausted, and having what we
call nal-nutrition, which is attended with
impoverishedAlooda and exhaustion ofnerve
force. Tonics' consisting of large portions
of alcohol iron or cod liver oil do not bring
the desired changes in the blood, because
they do not enter the system and are not
absorbed into the blood, with the exception
of the alcohol. which shrivels up the red
blood corpuscles when it does come in
contact with them. We recommend the
botanical extract of DR.. Pierce because it
contains no alcohol and offers reasonable
and scientific method of treating the blood,
by improving the nutritive functions of the
patient The rGolden Medical Discovery !"
accomplishes this, by first restoring the
enfeebled digestive organs, so that food.

and assimilated.
