ARKANSAS MARBLE IN THE
WASHINGTON MONUMENT.

A block of the notified marble
was quarried by pioneer citizens
of Newton county, hauled sixty
miles by oxen to GAINESVILLE and
sent thence by water to Washing
ton, where it represents the State
of Arkansas in the Washington
Monument.

for the scattered clearings, it is all
one forest, not of heavy, massive
growth, but of hardwood timber,
straight and of quality which is to
make of the timber industry in
this particular section of the State
business of vast Importance.
They do not have the Missouri
hen down in this country, but
there is full sister to that fam
Gus strain of poultry. She is the
Arkansas hen, and she is slowly
but steadily achieving a reputa-
ton for herself which reflects
credit upon her family connections
across the State line.
This is without doubt splendid
country for the poultry business,
and there is many a poultry farm
er scattered along the railway
where one year ago there was
nothing but virgin forest.
OUR BATESvILLE MARBLE.
In speaking of the mineral re-
sources omission must not be made
of the limestone and marble which
crops out every mile or so along
the White River. At Batesville
the marble industry takes the
greatest importance.
In bed which is believed to be
practically inexhaustible is found
a grade of pure white marble,
which is not exactly marble, but a
peculiarly hardened limestone,
which makes one of the best
building stones now In use.
The New State Capitol at Little
Rock is being constructed of the
Batesville marble. Eighty-five
carloads have been shipped in the
last two months to Fort Leaven-
worth, Kan, where it is being u.s.
ed in the building of the new Fed
eral Penitentiary This shipment
is but the first very small Install
ment of the quantity which will be
demanded by the Leavenworth au-
thorities
lizard county blue limestone,
Sycamore sandstone and Eureka
shale are names known to the
building trade and represent stone
found in abundance all through
the river valley.

MANY PROMISING TOWNS.

The little towns which have
been originated by the railroad
are feeling already the result of
the reopening of the mining indus
try. The Iron Mountains White
River line is not yet in thorough
operation, having quite stretch
of track to complete before imme-
date connection is given to Car
thage and Joplin and the smelters.
Yet, in the half dozen promising
villages which have sprung up
there is the foundation for sub
stantial growth, which IS only
awaiting the advent of capital to
work the mines.
The more optimistic see in the
near future a rush to the region
which will outrival Joplin when
the discovery of lead and zinc was
made at that locality.

GREAT RESOURCES OF
WHITE RIVER COUNTRY
Staff Correspondent of the st. Louis
Republic Tells of the Great
ness of Arkansas.

! lie, has been touring Arkansas and
telling the world something of our
boundless resources through the
columns of that paper. A recent
three column article sent in from
Yellville tells of the wonderful re-
sources along the White river
country, and this new branch of
the great Iron Mountain system
of railroads.
The following paragraphs are
clipped from his elaborate write
up:
When Mr.. George J. Gould was
figuring on building a railroad
through the White River Valley,
with the ultimate idea of connect
ing his Western lines with the
Southeast by way of Memphis, he
rightly conjectured that the I'M
touched resources of the tributary
country would eventually pay the
freight for the roads construc-
ton.
He also took cognizance of the
repeated rumors that there was
vast mineral wealth in the regions
which the new road would touch.
For many years there were whis-
pers of the lead and the zinc, and
many other brands of mineral ~
ing dormant in that particular por
ton of the Ozarks.
When the road was being pro-
jected Mr.. Gould determined to
find out for himself the worth of
the stories. He sent three distinct
parties into Northwestern Arkan-
sas and Southwestern Missouri,
through the countries lying be-
tween Carthage, Mo-, and Yell
vile, Ark.
In the parties we're geological
experts, mining engineers and ex-
plorers, who were capable of max
ing a Just estimate of the condition
of affairs, geologically and miner
alogically speaking. Neither of
the parties knew that either of the
others were out for the same pur-
pose, but the reports of the trio of
Investigators agreed in every de-
tail, and at the present time there
is no mineral land which can be
purchased and the tales of an Ar
kansas Joplin are reaching the
headquarters of the lead and zinc
magnates. Their gist is of such
surprising nature that theories of
supply and demand are being
quietly, but certainly, revised.
GREAT COAL BEDS.
w hat is necessary to the newer
Arkansas district is coal in quaint
tiles sufficient to permit of the
smelling of the ore at profit.
There is undoubtedly coal in the
adjacent territory.
Experts believe that one of the
greatest coal beds yet to be dis
covered lies in this vicinity, but
so far there have been no impor-
tant strikes made which reveal the
necessary fuel.

operative Union at their last meeting
decided TO discuss in all its varied fea-
lures, the reasons for using commercial

which appeals distinctly to the intelli-
gence as well as to the pocket of each
individual farmer, we cordially and
earnestly invite all tillers of the soil to
meet with us at the court house in Ma
rietta, at 10 o'clock, on the 18th of

RAILROAD RATES in FRANCE.
What the Traffic Manager of the Most
Important Railroad of France
Thinks of Government Regula-
ton.

n. G. Noblemaira, Traffic Manager of
observation-disclosures Railway, says
in discussing the American railroad
rate system:
"Your American method of making
a railroad tariff-leaving the companies
free to make the price of transporta-
tion, subject to correction by the gov
eminent in instances of abuse OF dis
cretion-is better one than our French
method. Indeed, don't see on what
other principle your tariffs could be
made, iDasmuch Eas your railways are
privately owned and operated, can't
understand how any government could
make rates for such railways.
1.-THE French railways, in fact, always
make their own rates. That is to say
the government never assumes to lay
down or prescribe a rate for uc. We
make new rates and changes as we
think equitable and just. We are then
obliged, before putting them in force,
to submit them to the government for
approval, and argue it out with them.
The position taken by the government
is usually due to political pressure
from some locality .or industry and is
therefore generally not along sound
business lines, They argue something
that runs counter to the laws of nature
and the laws of trade, and our rates are
thus more and more a matter of poll
tics rather than Of sound railway adj
ministration, leading constantly toward
distance tariff. In twenty years, at
the rate we are going, ' don't know
where we shall land"

They took the blood from each of

THE WEEK OF PRAYER.
Notwithstanding the inclement
weather. the week of prayer was
we'll attended, and the meetings
interesting. Monday Mrs. Welsh
led on the topic, GA lesson of serv-
ice" Mrs. A. S. Clay read very
fine paper that afternoon-subiect,
"Some things yet to be done. :"
She dwelt upon the Importance of
building more Preventive Homes
for youngbgirls.
Tuesdry afternoon Mrs. Chris
tlaI very gracefully presided over
the meeting.
The topic for the afternoon was
problems of Southern cities. :"
Mrs. Dumas read an excellent pa
per on Southern cities and the
cotton mills" A fine paper show
ing much thought was prepared by
Miss Martha Welsh and read by
Mrs, w. R. Power, subject, "The
Negro"
Wednesday afternoon the regu-
lar program was not carried out on
account of sickness in the family
of the leader, Mrs. Hutchinson.
1t was much regretted that the
topic, "Rescue and Preventive
work" was not discussed, as the
ladies are very much interested in
that work first at present.
Thursday afternoon the meeting
was especially interesting. Mrs.
B. 7. Frey was leader and gave a
Bible reading on "Tithing," fol-
lowed by a discussion on mountain
work, by Mrs. Lyon, One of the
most touching things of the meet
ing was the poem, "The cry Of the
children" beautifully read by Mrs,
Richardson. 1t should have been
read before the last Senate that
killed the Child Labor Bill.
"How long, they cry, how long, o crnel
nation,
Will you stand to move the world on a
childs heart
Stife down with nailed heel its pal
pitation,
And tread onward to your throne amid
the mart ?"
Friday the topic was "the needs
of the Home Mission Society,""
Mrs. Trenary acted as leader, as
sisted by every woman present.
Three essential needs were brought
out. Money as an evangelizing
force trained workers and the holv
spirit. Rev. w. P. Lovejoy gave
a most fervent talk Oh the need of
the holy spirit for better and high
er service. At the close of his
talk many ladies gave him their
hands as pledge for more con-
secrated life, moved by the inspi-
ration of the spirit and the words
of that touching song
I'll go where you want me to go, dear
Lord,
Over mountain, or plain, or sea,
Ill say what you want me to say, dear
Lord,
I'll be what you want me to be.

AS the result of a most horrible
mistake Mrs. Mamie Bowe lies dead
at her home near Concord Church,
nine miles from this place with a
bullet wound through her heart, shot
by her own hand; her 12-year-old
daughter, Winnie, lies dead in the
same room from an overdose of
strychnine, accidentally administered
by her mother in the place of quinine
and her 10-year-old son, Cabell, is
desperately i'll i'm an adjoining room
from strychnine poison administered
in like manner.
J. r. Hall, who lives near the Bowe
home was aroused from his slumbers
early this morning by the screams of
woman. Mr.. Hall and his son at
once repaired to the Bowe home. They
were met at the door by the woman,
who told them she had killed her chill
dren by mistake. Mrs. Bowe also
stated that after learning of her fatal
error, she had herself taken strych-
nine and carbolic acid. While Mr..
Hall was administering to the boy
Mrs. Bowe left the house. A few
minutes later her body was discovered
near the door with bullet through
the heart. A pistol, with one cham
Der empty, was lying near her. Mrs.
Bowe was the widow of Thomas S.
