Newport daily independent., 1905-08-26

The sense of sight grows most precious, though often the best of glasses cannot restore to old eyes even a portion of their youthful power. These facts should impress all with the im- portance of early care for the organs of sight. Do not wait till your eyes become impaired, but have them tested at once, as often an eye specialist can detect and remedy in time what might prove a serious trouble if ne- elected.

Protection Should Be Given.

Yellow fever has developed at Lake Providence, Louisiana, only about twenty miles from the Ar kansas line. Some reports assert there are as high as twenty cases there. Arkansas City and other points on the Louisiana line de- clare that the state quarantine is not sufficient and are raising funds for home guards. The state board of health refused to allow a hundred residents of Lake Providence to pass through the state in special train. The situation in Louisiana outside of New Orleans is admittedly worse every succeeding day.
 The question is, are not her people going to try to get into and through Arkansas? Suppose yellow fever became general in this state, wouldn't it take a rigid quarantine along the Mis- souri line to keep our people out of Joe Folks realms? Then why should Newport at this stage of the game throw down her quar- antine, when doctors assert the fever would be most malignant in such an unsanitary city, and there must be enough stygomia here out of all our bloody tribe of mosquitoes to make the fever epidemic should one exposed ref ugee find his way here.
 With fever breaking out at points far north like Gregory, Mo-, Newport may become ex- posed any day and here it would be a most fatal epidemic, disas- trous, too, to property interests, if it be only upon this latter ap- peal some may be reached.
 It would be the duty of elected councilmen of a people to protect them from such a pestilence, even against their will and when the big majority want such pro- lection, the expenses for such a quarantine are a weak defense for the opposition.

Missouri Tightens Lines.

Rogers, Aug. 9. .-Commenc- ing this morning Missouri is drawing a tighter quarantine at the state line and passengers from this section who were not furnished with the necessary health certificate were compelled to leave the train at Seligman, just over the line, until a physi- clan had examined them. The new order went into effect this morning and many passengers were taken unawares, although the railroad officials gave notice at stations wherever possible.
Newport daily independent., 1905-08-26

When Missouri towns are com- mencing to quarantine, is it not tempting fate for this city to raise such regulations? While the danger does not seem immi- nent or probable, too much pre- caution can hardly be taken to keep Newport free from yellow fever.
 Gov. Davis, while in Jones' boro the other day had some thing to say that sounds very characteristic. He had been counted out in Craighead at the last election, and as Bill Cate was going to spend two thousand dollars this year, he didn't know whether he would fight this poodle. That's the substance ot his interview, and it has all the earmarks of the author.

Conductor Put Guard Off.

Pine Bluff, Aug. 25. Leonard Carver, one of the health officers who has been detailed to meet all trains which enter the city from the south on any train on the Cotton Belt, was ejected by Conductor Charles Culberson yes- terday while he was riding south on the local freight. Mayor White has reported the matter to Superintendent Peck of the Cotton Belt.

Stand up For improvement.

There seems to De lafnelll- able lack of harmony in Newport upon all public issues, even lm- provements, and there have been knockers to everything thus far accomplished. The big majority of the property owners favor pushing ahead, and are willing to recognize the necessity ot municipal action that may work hardship upon some indlvldu- als, and to give up certain rights to enjoy city privileges and ad- vantages.
 What this majority don't always do, however, is to prop erly support the leaders of such improvements. They ought to make themselves and their infiu- ence felt. Half the knockers would drop out of sight.
 Just at this time the property owners on Walnut street are un- dertaking the laying of concrete walks on that street from Second to Remmel avenue, have organ ized an improvement district, received estimates upon the cost of the work, and assessed the property as benefited. The cost is about $1.OO per front foot, or for a lot with a fifty-foot front $50, but interest is allowed for in this calculation, and the pay ments divided through five years. Thus on a fifty-foot lot the owner would pay $1O per year for five years and have a modern stable walk, lasting generation or more.
 The objection cannot be cost, for it seems actually cheap, con- sidering how permanent is a cement walk; the assessment cannot work a hardship on any, one, extended by five annual payments, and it becomes the duty of the large majority of property owners on Walnut street to manifest their approval of the improvement and be strong in their loyalty.
 The sidewalks of Newport are generally in very bad condition. The city is entitled to free de- livery by the local postofice re- ceipts. but one requirement of the government before the ser- vice is ever inaugurated is good walks. Let other streets take up the work of building good and lasting walks and make Newport inviting and inducive to the homeseeker and investor.
 "Jehie, old boy," has gone to putting in again. Four years ago he was after Jeems K. Jones and that awful octopus, the round bale trust, now deceased; two years ago he had Friday Bour- land and Slave Carmichael to boost for attorney general and supreme justice, and at Augusta the other day he declared he would rather have his dead body stretched across the executive doorway than have one of the candidates for governor cleo ted. He didn't call any names, but he meant Bob Rogers, who has always had the courage to oppose him in his ma chine building. If the governor had man like Bob Rogers op- posing him for the senate he might confine his campaign to his own office.

BAD Memories.

Many people complain OF having a
bad memory, as IL it were something
they could not help, like headache.
or some similar ailment; yet even that
can be helped nowadays by the appli-
cation OF a little common sense. After
all, there is no reason why anybody
should have a bad memory. 1t is mere
'ly a matter OF training and is, more
over, a matter in which 1t is never too
late to attend TO its training. For
grown-ups many methods are advo-
Gated, all of them, no doubt, based on
the principle of mental concentration.
In a young child the faculty can be
cultivated by making the child de-
scribe everything 1t has seen In its
morning walk, taking care that no fact
is exaggerated, but that strict atten-
ton is paid to truth in every detail.
In the matter Of memorizing it is an
excellent plan to let the child learn
one line of poetry a day, which II
Should repeat the following morning
and at the end OF a week IL will be
able to say the seven lines. The young
brain should not be overloaded with
knowledge, but allowed to assimilate
fragment each day.

AT THE STAMP WINDOW.

StinRy Man Wants to Beat the Post
ofics System Out of Cent.
The new books that give general pos
tai information for the public and are
distributed free to purchasers OF
stamps at the various branch post
offices, are OF value to all interested In
mailing matter Of any kind. That
many are ignorant OF common things
was clearly shown at the stamp win
dow over which John G. Wendle at
times presides, at the Brooklyn post
office.
A man stepped up to the window
with one of the Sunday papers, includ-
ing the various supplements, ready for
mailing, and asked the cost. As 1t
proved to weigh eight ounces or over
the four ounces for which q paper
may be sent as second class matter,
he was told 1t would cost cents.
Its an outrage to make me pay
postage on so many sheets OF advertis-
ing. I'll take them out, and that will
bring it down in weight. guess" said
the man complacertly, as be cot a
piece of brown paper into which he
wrapped the reading matter In the pa
per. He didn't know that this made
it third class matter, but 1t did, and
Wendle told him that being miscella-
neous printed matter and weighing
over six ounces it would cost cents,
or a cent for each two ounces or frac-
ton thereof. ms staggered the man,
who then said:
"All want to send is paragraph,
SO far as that is concerned. l can cut
out and send 1t in a 1-cent unsealed
envelope. Give me one"
1t was given to him and as he laid
down a cent for it. Mr.. Wendle said, in
the tong he uses toward young women
who want stamps with vanilla favored
gum:
THAT will cost you 2 cents. One fol
the stamp and one for the envelope"
"well, I'm done for" said the mar
as he threw down the other cent. eve
lost a quarters time in trying TO beat
the postoffice system and am JUS
where l began" Then Mr.. Wendls
handed to him one OF the new books
and with a pleasant smile said:
when you want to be sure before
hand, and don't want to bother the
stamp clerk, read this. "-BrooklyI

TO AWAKEN WHEN you WISH.
Simple Plan Which Requires No Alarm
Clock to BE Set.


We hear it frequently asserted that
If persons will impress the thought
firmly upon their minds and continue
thinking about it until they have fallen
asleep that they desire to awake at a
certain hour in the morning, they will
do it without fail, says writer in the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat. But how
many people have tried this method of
insuring a prompt awakening at a
given hour in the morning only to find
their rest throughout the night dis
turbed and uneasy?
Ths brain will usually respond to
the will and awaken one in the morn
ing near the desired hour under any
circumstances, but to prevent the un-
broken, uneasy sleep the adoption OF
only very simple device is necessary.
The last thing before getting into bed,
take a watch or clock and turn the
hands to the hour at which one wishes
to rise and gaze at this just long
enough to fix the hour firmly on the
retentive memory. Then, if no other
absorbing thoughts intervene between
that and the moment one is locked in
slumber, the nights rest will be easy
ana unbroken and promptly at the
hour in the morning, as a rule. one
will find ones self released from sleep
and wide awake.
There is no need to keep thinking OF
the hour continually for a number OF
minutes, no need to repeat it over and
over in the mind; all that makes the
brain uneasy and results in the dis
turbed slumber. Simply look at the
watch or clock. as l have indicated
and the influence of the mind over
matter will be clearly demonstrated IL
the morning. Try it some night anc
observe how smoothly this phsycho
logical fact works.

junction. You've come on by the first
half; your luggage will come on by

You're wrong, porter" said the
traveller; "it was not case, it was a
