off by No. 8 yesterday, was a strong, innocent looking box billed from Bebee, Ark, to this place. In the handling by the railroad baggageman a board was seen to have been knocked loose. As is his custom, the local bag gageman got a hammer and nails and started to repair the damage. Imagine the worthy gentleman's s horror, when, as he turned the box over, four or five big, hiss ing, buzzing, venomous-looking rattlesnakes fell out! The box only contained twelve of the deadly reptiles. All repairs on the box suspended until the owner of the reptiles claimed his property and took it away. Pop lar Bluff Citizen-Democrat.

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 a 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 com 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 g rule the crop is clean.
 Garden truck and Irish potatoe continue to do well.

WOMAN BURNED
 TO A CRISP.
Had Been to Dance at Poplar Bluff and Lay Down Across Bed to Rest Woman
 Still Alive.

One of the most horrible things which has happened in Poplar Bluff for many years, occurred last night when the clothing of Nancy Simpson caught fire and burned her body almost to a crisp. The fire caught from a lamp near a bed on which she was sleeping, says the Poplar Bluff Citizen-Democrat.
 It seems that the woman had been to a dance in company with Ben Martin, and when she went to her room at Chicken Jeffer- sons house, she fell across her bed and went to sleep without undressing. A small lamp was on the floor near the bed, and in some way the bedclothing caught fire. The flames were rapidly communicated from the bedding to the clothing of the sleeping woman, and when she awakened the light stuff in which she was clad was all ablaze. Before they could be extinguished her entire body was burned in a manner too horrible for description. She is still alive and is able to talk, but there does not seem to be the slightest chance of her recovery.

A WORD OF COMFORT
 To the Distressed.

Fortunately for those suffering with Rheumatism in all its various forms, ill, cluding Sore Joints, Sore Muscles, and Sore Feet, remedy has been discovered by modern science which in every instance effects a speedy and positive cure: 1hls new remedy is founded on scientific prln- ciples which are acknowledged by the medical world as the only correct treat nent for Rheumatic or Neuralgi gic troubles. Medicines taken internally rarely ever ef- feet cure without upsetting the stomach. As rule, they injure the digestive organs, shatter the nerves, and in many instances the patient contracts drug habit which leads eventually to decline of the phys'' cal and mental forces.
 Paracamph is the new remedy and it is a departure from the antiquated methods. Paracamph enters into the system through the natural channels, namely, the pores of the skin. When applied it opens the nores and allows the healing, soothing oils fo penetrate the sore, infamed mebranes and muscles, removes the congestion and draws out the fever and inflammation, by inducing sweating. This is the only treat. ment that can be indorsed by science, and is guaranteed to cure even the most obst- nate cases of Rheumatic Swellings 1t used as directed. Paracamph can be procured at drug stores in 25 cent, and 50 cent, and f1 .oo bottles. Write for book ot testi1no- nials sent free. The Paracamph Company Louisville, Ky, U. $. A.

ECHOES FROM
 THE BIG FIRE.
Little Incidents Overlooked in the Preparation of Descrip- tive Article and NeWsy
 Notes of Interest.

The Newport Grocer Company Tuesday night issued a circular letter and mailed it to it's many customers stating that orders would be filled within thirty-six hours, and asking a continuance of the large patronage bestowed upon this popular house. Its travellers were not called in.
 The explosions heard during the progress of the fire and the blowing out of the cylinder head of the engine served to keep many away from the vicinity of the fire.
 It is the usual thing in big fires like that of Monday night that various kinds of accidents occur, but fortunately no one was hurt, and the excitement did not make men forget the first principle of self-preservation.
 \ Many of the negroes of the city are feasting upon free meats, large amounts of which were carried away by them Tuesday. Many pieces were only scorched on the outside and were but slightly damaged.
 Phoenix-like the destruction of the large buildings Monday night will be replaced in a wonderfully short time, and will be upon a larger and more thoroughly equipped scale. It will be a busy time for Newport's s mechan- ics and laboring men.
 It is not every day that New port suffers a $1OO,O00 fire, but it's progressive business men do not let a little matter like that interfere with their business, but go right ahead as if nothing had happened, preparing to re- build and enlarge upon the scope of territory already covered.
