IS AN INTERESTING WORK
COLONEL MoSBY'S BOOK ABOUT
FAMOUS STUART CAVALRY.
Declared to Be a Valuable Contri-
button to the History of the Great
War Between the States.

The following is the opinion of the
reader OF Moffat-Yard & Co., of New
York City, who will publish Col. Mos
by's book in January,
This book refers frequently to scenes
around Martinsburg.
Il have read with much interest
the manuscript of Colonel Mosbys
book, "Stuarts Cavalry in the Get
tysburg Campaign"
Let me frankly say at the start
that this is not book of the So
called popular type. There is no
doubt of its value as contribution
to the literature Of the Civil war, and
as such it will make a strong appeal
to all survivors on both sides, of the
great struggle. 1t will be of interest,
too, to critical students of the per-
iod.
1T is an able presentation of the
case, such as counsel would make for
his client, For my own part,
could wish that there were more in
cidents, some sketches of character
and sidelights on the personalities of
the distinguished and gallant men
with whom the book deals. But that
has evidently not been the authors
intention.
Colonel Mosby must haye mate
, rial in his own experience for doz-
en- thrilling romances, Astounding in
| incident, where mirth and pathos
gallant deeds and hairbreadth escapes
were daily occurrences. / hope that
! some day we may have from his per
such book, accurate Of course il
its statements, but free from the
great array of documentary evidence
of which the present book is full
| Such book from such an author
would be Of great popular value ant
have a sale much larger thar

 Senator Thompson was born Tn Indiana, October :, 1S66, and at an early age moved to Texas. After reaching manhood's estate he came to Washington County. and has been engaged i'll teaching and farming. During the days of the Popnlists he was one of leaders of that party, and was one of its ablest and most aggressive campaigners. In l902 he was one of the Demo- cratic nominees for representa- tive, Was elected and served one term. In i904 lie was elected State senator, position which he held at the time of h1s death.
 Several years ago Mir. Thomp- son was united in marriage. to Miss Hattie Bolinger at Fay ettevilie, and to them were born two sons.
 Senator Thompson was one ot the truest men that ever lived.
 He was true to his family and to the people whom he so ably served, and no breath of suspic- ion has ever been attached to any of his public or private acts. The writer knew Senator Thompson probably as we'll as any one out side of his own fam ily. We canvassed the county together, served d term in the legislature together, roomed to- gether and were companions and friends, and in all that time nev- CT knew him to do wrongful act or give utterance to an un- worthy thought. He was devot- ed to his little family, and in their great affliction they have the profound sympathy of the people of the entire county. Senator Thompson's death Is a distinct loss to Washington Coun- ty and to the State.
 As there are less than sixty days yet of the present general assembly 1t is presumed that Gov. Moore will appoint a sue eessor to fill out Senator Thomp- sons unexpired term.

ANOTHER EVAPORATOR
 FOR SPRINGDALE

 J. $. Ewalt, and his partner, J. G. Brinkman, of Great Bend, Kansas, are planning to con- struct anevaporator with capac- ity of at least 1900 bushels per day, and Mir. Ewalt says it's sure go. The building will be 72x15o feet, and in addition there will be six drying rooms Sx4o feet and a packing house and a cooper shop. Such plant would be of considerable benefit to the town and The News hopes to see IL constructed.

Senator Thompson Died
 Yesterday at Little Rock.

Springdaie people were shocked yesterday morning when it Was announced that Senator J. w. Thompson had died at Little Rock. The first news came to w. G. Thompson, who is related by marriage to Senator Thomp- sons wife, and shortly wards telegram was received by The News from W. F. Simpson stat ing that NIT. Thompson expired at 4:30 Thursday morning. A few of those who keep in touch with affairs 1t Little Rock knew thrt Senator Thompson was i'll, getting their information from the following, which appeared in Tuesdays Little Rock Gazette:
 Senator James Thompson. of Washington county, las contract ed case of measles, and his friend, Senator Wingo. was com pelled to ask for an indefinite leave of absence for him yester- day. He has the disease III d mild form, and expects to be able to resume his duties within a few days. He complained Thursday of being feyerish, but never suS- peeted that he was afflicted with measles until Friday, when the Ted splotches appeared upon his face and body.
 The senator, when told he had measles, remembered he had nev- CT had the malady. After the ad dJournment of the Senate on Friday he went to his room at 200 Spring street, and has been confined there since. Last night his condition was much improved, the disease yielding readily to treatment.
 Senator Thompson possesses d strong constitution and his friends are not alarmed over his condition and believe that within week hls recovery will be com plete.
 Those in Springdale who knew of Senator Thompson's illness were entirely unprepared for the announcement of his death, and expressions of regret are heard on all sides.
 Mrs. Thompson left her home ii Fayetteville for Little Rock Wednesday night, but was una ble to reach her husband before his death. The remains will be

 Last year 112 votes were cast in favor of keeping up the cows and 135 against 1t. Tn l904 only - votes were cast for keeping up the COW. while 157 were cast against 1t. In making mention of the vote on the COW question last year The News predicted that tie days of the town COW were drawing to an end, and that it was only necessary to con- tinue the campaign of educa- tion." and the result proves this to have been true.
 The vote on the cow question and on the extension of the city limits, shows that the people are in favor of q greater. cleaner and better Springdale, and 1t is now up to the town council to give them what they want
