GENERAL WHEELER SICK.
NEW YORK, January 25.-General
Joseph Wheeler is seriously sick.

Few men in the United States are
better known, north and south than
General Joe" Wheeler. Graduated
from West Point in 1853, he was gazet-
ted to the cavalry, and when his native
state, Georgia, seeded, he went with
his state, as so many southern-bo born
army officers did. He rome rapidly in
the Confederate service, being once
thanked by the Confederate Congress
for bravery i'm the field. He was
Lieutenant General at the close of the
war After AppomattoX, he went into
politics and served several terms in
Congress.
At the outbreak of the Spanish war
Wheeler volunteered for service, and
was created Major-General of Volun-
teers by President Mckinley. He serv-
ed with the army before Santiago, in
Cuba, commanded the troops in the
engagement at Las Guasimar, and was
the senior officer on the field at the
battle of San Juan Hill. He was the
senior member of the Commission
which arranged for the surrender Of
Santiago.
Afterwards he served with distinc-
ton in the Philippines, and was COM
mander of the Military Department OF
the Lakes

methods to be pursued to secure the
best results in the planting.
"On each of the larger islands of the
Hawaiian group there are considerable
areas of forest which play an inn
portant part in protecting the water
sheds of the streams needed for flum-
ing or irrigation, but unfortunately the
native Hawaiian trees are for the most
part not of economic Importance.
Where they are of value it is because
of their worth as cabinet and other
high class woods. rather than because
they furnish construction material. To
meet the ever growing demand for
wood suitable for the various purposes
of dome site supply fence posts, railroad
ties bridge timbers and general con-
struction, not to mention fuel, which
i'm certain districts is an important con-
sideration, the Territory stands in
great need of forest plantations of
timber producing trees.
"Tree planting on a large scale in
this country is necessarily a somewhat
expensive operation and when under
taken should be done advisedly and In
accordance with a systematic plan.
The purpose of the Division of Forestry
in Offering to cooperate with the in
dividual planter is to stimulate interest
in tree planting, and by the introduce
tion of good methods to secuR the
best results in the work done. To eX-
plain the offer of cooperation is the
object of this circular"
Appended is a tree planting agree
ment which provides that the owner
shall pay the travelling and subsistence
expenses of the agent of the Division
of Forestry, keep a record of the work
and permit the division to make use
of information gained.

VICTORIA, b. c., January 25.-The
steamer Queen, which passed the wreck
of the Valencia on the rocks near Cape
Beale, reported thirty persons seen
clinging to the rigging of the ship, and
that her hull was entirely submerged.
The Queen was unable to render any
assistance.
The Mayor at once dispatched a tug,
with the Esquimalt life-saving crew on
board to the scene of the wreck. They
reported later that the seas had swept
the rigging of the Valencia, all those
left on the wreck perishing. Those
drowned number one hundred and

rest assured that Senator James
P. Clarke is taking an interest in
Arkansas politics. IL is very
natural to suppose that he is TAX
ing an interest in Gov. Davis
candidacy because he desires
the overthrow of Senator Berry,
with whom he is not on friendly
terms. 1t is also very natural to
suppose that he is taking an in
terest in the success of Judge
Little because he does not relish
the idea of being opposed for the

and last week the county court
entered into a contract for their
care at $40 per month each. This
is a price at which no taxpayer
well object. Several counties in

DOES IT.?

OF bacon, as sure as tate he Will
face the court, the alleged place
where justice is meted out and
the law applied to every man
alike, and suffer the penalty Of
his crime.
In New York during the last
few weeks mass after mass of
testimony has been uncovered
showing conclusively that the
presidents and other high
muck -a-mucks of several of the
largest insurance companies have
for years misappropriated,
squandered, stolen the money
belonging to many people, yet
they are free and undisturbed by
the law.
The appearance has been made
plain time and time again that
the laws prescribing punishment
for crime are for the poor, and
do not touch those of better
fina ncial condition.
Once upon a time in certain
state, after the adjournment of the
legislature, a certain officer of the
law began what was at the time
heralded abroad as a crusade
against boodling and corruption
in the general assembly. Several
members were indicted for having
received brides of such munificent
extent as S100 or so, but they
were few, the investigation sud-
denly coming to a close, 80 far
as public knowledge went.
At the trial of one of these
Doodle cases, however, a man,
the occupant of a very RESPONSE
ble position in the state, confessed
to having placed thousands of
dollars in the hands of a noted
corruptionist, with which he was
to influence legislation. Confessed
to it, mind you.
Naturally, Tie quc5tion would
arise, what did the law do to these
two corruptionists?
What did it do?
Not a thing that history
records.
When one thinks of the matter
a little it is no wonder many peo-
pie have so small an opinion OF
the courts as dispensers of justice
Neither will respect for the courts
grow in the minds of many until
the rich thieves who betray the
confidence of the people and
plunder their pockets wear stripes
by the side of the poor thief who
steals the side of bacon.
The law is generally particular
to hunt down the man who COM
mits some minor offense.
And often the rich openly and
flagrantly defy the law and con-
tinue their grind of the people
The law is supposed to apply to
all men alike.

'note and Comment

Thank goodness Alice and the congressman are married!
 Municipal politics is receiving more attention in Springdale just now than the race for United States Senator.
 Sixteen hundred copies of The News are printed this week, and after the mail IS all sent out there will be but very few left in the office.
 The farmer who has any stock, hay wagon buggy or any ar ticle to sell can very probably find a buyer by placing small ad. in The News. The same with those who wish to buy. The News has large circulation among the very best farmers in this section.
 In this issue will be found the announcement of Hugh Philips who has decided to make the race for marshal of Sprlngdale, subject to the Democratic pri-
