 16 Nex'.

Budapest, Hungary, Aug. 26.-The authorities of the city of Budapest have decided 10 unyeil the Washing ton statue now under erection on Sep tember 1G, and nave sent out invita- tions to the mayors of American cit les, presidents of American univer- stiles and many notable public men of the United States to attend. The idea of raising this statue arose out of the erection in Cleveland some years ago of statue to Kossuth. The Hun garian-A Americans who were instru- mental in bringing about the erection of the Kossuth monument were so cor dially supported by Americans that they decided as mark of gratitude to raise Washington monument in the capital of their native country. The statue which is to be full-sized, will stand in a prominent position in the city park and will be one of the in teresting sights of that place.
 A large contingent of Hungarian Americans are expected. the official party sailing from New York. August 29, on the Tyndam. In commemora- ton of the event the street now known as Wiener is to be renamed Wash ington street.

Too many men quit courting their
 wives after the wedding ceremony
 is performed. Too many men
 forget the sweetheart after she
 becomes the wife. Too many
 wives change their smiles of well come to faultfindings. Too many wives forget that the old man has few rights left after he becomes a benedict. Too many men fail to keep the wife supplied with a little pocket money. Too many wives forget that the hubby has to work hard for what money he has. Too many husbands want to be the whole works around home. Too many wives think the old man don't know how to run his business. There are more happy homes than unhappy ones, because there are more sensible persons than fools. One person can't lug in enough fuel to keep the hearthstone warm. 1t takes both of them. The fire even then gets pretty low at times, but it won't go out if both of them keep at work. All this is not original with me. got part from an old maid who knows all about how children should be raised. - Ex.

 SEND US THE NAMES.

The Star announced a few weeks ago that the Pomological Depart ment at Washington, D. C., was to send the Star twenty-five sets of pamphlets relating to the growth and care of fruits and agricultural products.
 Twenty-Five copies on three topics have been received and some of them given out. but letter from the department at Washington in forms us that by a recent ruling TO more can be sent to anyone for dis tribution, but, instead, if we will send the names and postoffice ac- dresses they will be sent direct to the party wanting them.
 If parties wishing these publica- tions will give us their names and addresses we will forward them to Washington. and they will then re- ceive the publications spoken of.

dotted with beautiful winter homes belonging to these wealthy seekers after the luxury of Southern eli mate and Southern surroundings, and one by one the beautiful and historic old homes of Virginia are being sold to Northern men.
 "The beautiful hill tops of Vest ern North Carolina are crowned by glistening stone palaces, built by men of wealth for summer homes and winter house parties. z
 Thus far the people of the north eastern states are seeking Southern homes in the territory directly South of them, but in due time when they learn Of the beauties of Arkansas they, or at least the wealthy people of the northwestern states will be coming here to enjoy the luxury of a Southern climate.
 That we have at Mena an ideal place high altitude m Southern latitude for such homes sno longer questioned by those who investigate and it will not be many years before the beautiful hill tops of Western Arkansas are crowned with elegant homes built by men of wealth for their use both in summer and winter.
 Just note our prediction and watch it grow.

INVITATIONS DELAYED.

It is announced that w. J. Bryan has accepted an invitation to dine with the newspaper men st the Waldorf Astoria on Septemper 1. In his letter of acceptance he says:
 Shall be delighted to meet boys of press. have not found any bet ter newspaper men anywhere than our own.
 This is quite compliment to the News Democrat and Star, but as vet the mails have not brought the invitations accompanied by the rail- way passes and regulation dress suits which have undoubtedly been sent.
 If they do not come it will be rather tough on our contemporary, as Pike" recently went to one of our livery stables and had his hair clipped in regulation style, from fetlock to tip of ear, declaring that he will wear it thus until Bryan was elected president, and he naturally dislikes to waste all his patriotic devotion on the desert air of Demo- cratic Arkansas when there is so good an opportunity to display it before the Commoner and the pencil pushers at the Waldorf Astoria in Noxy Work

PEANUTS IN CORN.

A farmer from Pike City, Pike county, Arkansas. writing to that very excellent farm journal, The Farm and Ranch, among other things says:
 Checking corn in peanuts gives the cultivator one crop free of cost. While you are cultivating your corn you make your peanuts and your peanuts are carrying nitrogen into the soil in which they leave or de- posit more than they take off. You are doubly paid for a little extra hoeing and blowing, and consequent ly you are gainer in more ways than one as you realize an independent crop, increase the fertility of your soil and get the results of fourteen acres of land instead of seven.
 T will let you be the judge as to whether this is thoroughly backed up with facts or not. 1 also have a small acreage planted with fertilizer broadcasted. The corn stands on the ground l8x29 inches and is twelve feet average height, three and three-fourths to four and one half inches in circumference at base of stalk. l contend that this corn will make 100 bushels per acre.
 Mind you this is Pike county Arkansas, mountainous land filled with rock and when you compare this country with the greatest farming country in the United States, Texas cannot see why the farmer oi Texas is not Lord of all he surveys. 2 would be glad to see Farm and Ranch in the hands of every farmer in this state as I believe it would inculcate principles of higher class farming, less acreage, better cuIti yation and better products.

CHESTER WOODRUFF.

The Star is pleased to learn that the friends of MT. Chester Woodruff are putting him forward as candi- date for justice of the peace for Center township, Mena, and hope that he will be elected by practically a unanimous vote. It will be re- membered that Mir. Woodruff while working at his trade as carpenter on the Roach warehouse was seriously injured and probably made a cripple for life. rendering it impossible for him to ever earn a livelihood for his family in that way.
 MT. Woodruff has always been a good citizen, has a good mind and is in every way well qualified for the office, and surely all who know him and of his condition will cheerfully give him a vote for this office so that he may be enabled to assist in the support of his estimable family.

vALPARAlso's LOSSES.
The Earthquake and Fire Damage fin Chit- can City Said to be Greater Than
 San Francisco.

Santiago, Chile, Aug. 25.--A conser- vative estimate places the property loss at Valparaiso as result of the earthquakes and fires at $2,000,000. The loss in the rural districts will be immense as not only the residences of the landed proprietors but the huts of the laborers have been completely destroyed, and in many places the bridges, fences and telegraph and tele- phone posts have been thrown down. No passenger trains have arrived here from Valparaiso since August 16. It is insisted here that the effect of the disaster in the number of deaths and the amount of property destroyed is probably greater than vas the case in San Francisco. Valparaiso is the great seaport of the republic and it's com merce exceeds that of any Pacific port except San Francisco. The entire low CT part of the city is completely de- stroyed and the loss of life is felt throughout Chile because all parts of the country were represented there.
 Heavy rains are still falling at Val paraiso, making the misery still great CT. Donations for the relief of the sufferers are arriving here from all parts of the world.
 Some Idea of the state of affairs ex- isting can be formed from the fact that man rode on horseback from Valparaiso to Santiago. distance Of 80 miles, and could not obtain food or drink for himself or his horse dur ing the entire distance owing to the desolation prevailing

Al .0REAT SUCCESS. '

The Cove Herald has column editorial regarding the Mena fair and celebration from which we clip the following:
 The Tenth Annual Fair and Cele- bration that closed at Mena last Saturday was the most successful event of the kind that has ever been recorded in the history of the town, and the promoters and packers of the enterprise are to be congratu- lated upon the able and efficient manner in which the affair was man. aged. Only those who have had experience in such matters can real ize the magnitude and responsibility of such an undertaking. and it was evident at Mena last week that men of experience were in charge. Of course the managers of the fair could not build hotels and boarding houses on short notice, and therefore were not responsible for everybody not getting sleeping accommodations, In fact if any criticism is due on anything connected with the fair il should come under the head of ac. commodations, True there was plenty to eat for everybody, but the town was so crowded with visitors that it was impossible for all of only way difficulty of this kind car be obviated is for the citizens tC throw their houses open and estab.

 "The crowds were scattered over such wide area that it was almost impossible for even an expert in such matters to make anything like a correct estimate of the number of people in attendance.
