"TIN SOLDIER" LIFE
Is Lacking in Fascination for
 ''0rderly" Jim BrasweIl
HIS VISIT TO HOT SPRINGS
Narrowly Escapes Being Made
 Regimental Musician

The local "soldier boys," who went to Hot Springs to add to the dignity of the State Fair and in- cidently to have good time, ar- rived home Friday of last week :, feeling that they had a good time only in some respects. At least, that is the conclusion we got from hearing Jim Braswell talk some on the subject. From Jim s story one would readily con- clude that the life of "tin soldier" is lacking of the en- chantment that appeals to a mu- sician and photographer of his we'll known ability.
 Jim might like army life better on a more extended acquaintance, but as it is he declares his sense of morality is such that the amount of swearing, gambling and carousipg generally that it took to carry on the business at Hot Springs was too much for the weakened condition of his stomach. Jim particularly ob- jected to the stealing of blankets among the soldiers, so far as it related to his own bodily comfort.
 Jim had less right to complain perhaps than some others for he was honored blythe distinction of being made an orderly and was not forced to do the soldier stunt for the amusement of fair visit OTIS, who were interested more in something else. He carried the captain his dinner and ran such other errands as his superior officer demanded. He declared before he was accused of it that no dinner was "touched" until the captains appetite had been thoroughly satisfied.
 On prying into the situation The Tribune has about come to the conclusion that there may be some method in Jim's disgruntled condition, for we have it from different sources that he lost only by an ace in being elected regi- mental musician. His superior musical talent was duly recog- nized by the soldiers throughout

A SPANISH CLAIM
An Interesting Old Document
 Is Given Publication
TIP. 20, R. 23 "SOLD"IN '46
A Great Sensation of Many
 Years Ago is Rehearsed

In the year 1888, the following document from the hands of some eastern parties was filed for record in this county and is duly recorded in Deed Record e." pages 16 to IS, in the handwr;t- ing of Len Lunnally, the then circuit clerk.
 The editor of The Tribune re-. members very distinctly that the filing of this instrument created a genuine sensation until the nature of the case was looked into by legal investigation, and even then the subject would not down altogether for some years, for there were those who insisted on being scared of the possible validity of the "claim."
 The land involved is Township 20, North Range 23 West, six miles square; which lies north of township 19 in which Green For est is located, but the document itself will tell the story best, hence we have decided to give it space in full.

the entire army, and if Jim had not "shot off his bazzo" at one of the wrong times and let every- body know that he is an uncom- promizing Republican, there is little doubt that at the next en- campment he would have been astride pran cing steed armed with a bugle six feet long, more or less. That was one time that discretion would have been the better part of valor for Jim.
 Jim may be lacking in some of the points necessary to making an all-round good soldier in these days of supreme peace, but all who know him have already agreed that he is Git" with a cor net, and that he ranks clear at the top among the musicians of the state, in or out of the army. Then, o,iit must be taken into consideration that Jim is a great Josher and it is hard to tell how much IS contained in these state- ments that he really meant.

Harlem Book Co. a Fraud.

Two weeks ago The Tribune received a request from the Harlem Book Company of Omaha, Neb., asking the inser- tion of large advertisement, setting forth the merits of it's publications, offering a text book that would diffuse all the infor- nation that could be gained by attending business college for only S2.00. The price offered for the. ad. was good enough and remittance was promised on the 25th of the month. The let ter head gave as reference the U. s. National Bank of Omaha.
 The Tribune did not think it necessary to be in a hurry to establish business relations with these people, so we took our pen in hand and wrote the bank referred to as to the responsibility of the Harlem Book Co.,, which we have received the following reply:
 UNITED STATES NATIONAL BANK

FOR ORGANIZATION
Prof. Barnett Wants a County
 Poultry Association
10 STIMULATE THE INDUSTRY
Would Have 1t Meet Alter
 nately at Different Places

Il wish you would assist US in promoting the organization of poultry association for Carroll county" said Prof. c. s. Barnett of Eureka Springs to The Tribune editor at the Berryville fair. Nothing could possibly stimulate the poultry industry more than a movement of this character, ;" continued the Pro- lessor, as he discussed the suc- cess eff the poultry exhibition at the fair, which he pronounced the best in many respects that had ever been made in the county.
 Prof. Barnett is the superin- tendent of the public schools of Eureka Springs, and while slave to his school work, yet he is not like the man without a hobby, and the raising of fine poultry ! engages all of his spare time. He owns a home in the country near the city, and he not only finds pleasure but profit in the breeding of fine poultry. He was the assistant superintendent of the poultry exhibit at the fair and as such lent much toward it's success.
 Prof. Barnett thinks that an enthusiastic poultry organization could easily be maintained in the county. The meeting could probably be held twice year, meeting alternately at the dif- ferent towns. At such meetings he would have an exhibition of the various kinds of poultry raised by members of the organ ization and to make the matter in teresting from financial stand point, prizes might be offer- ed. Perhaps the business men of the towns where the meetings are held would take enough in- terest to raise purse to be used as premiums.
 The Tribune is going to ask that every person interested in this subject, making any sugges-

Can Shoot Game Now.

The open season for deer and wild turkey began September 1. The season for deer closes Feb ruary 1, but the turkey season runs till May.
 Quail may be hunted from Mo- vember 1st until March 1st, but prairie chickens may be killed only during the month of Mo- vember. There is no closed sea- son for duck, snipe, geese, and other migratory birds, nor for rabbits. Under the state laws the shipping of game outside of the state is prohibited, and the sale of all game except squirrels, bear and rabbits is prohibited. No nonresident can hunt, but no license is required for residents.

could employ in writing any, thing else. A money order book is a narrow, thick concern and is hard to write upon, there being no means of resting the arm while writing. Rhodes patent removes all this difficulty. It was the need of something to hold the money order book so that it could be written upon with ease that led MT. Rhodes to thinking upon this line. His scheme was first to get some. thing that would be of assistance to him in his work.
 Since the patent on the desk was granted on June 17 last, Mr. Rhodes has been beseiged with correspondence from all over the United States, his invention hay ing been given publicity in some of the patent journals. Many have pronounced it an excellent scheme and have sought to be- come interested in it in various ways, but MT. Rhodes has been slow to take hold of the matter as presented to him by many who are schemers no doubt, pre- fering to use his own plans in placing his inventions before the public.
 In presenting the matter at the lational Association of Post- masters next week MT. Rhodes brings the people who are cal culated to be interested in direct touch with his invention, and if sufficient encouragement is found, campaign for the sale of the desk, territory and rights will be begun at once.

RHODES p. 0. DESK
To Be on Exhibition at Wash

AT POSTMASTES' CONVENTION
Judge Butt Will Journey to
 the Nations Capital

Postmaster J. L. Rhodes will have his patent desk exhibited at the Convention of Postmasters of the United States, which meets in Washington, D. G., the p inst, for a three days session. The desk will be crated and ex- pressed to Washington this week, and Judge W. A. Butt will leave Saturday or Sunday for the na- tion's capital to take care of the desk at the meeting and endeav- or to interest as many people in it as possible.
 Judge Butt built the desk un- der the direction of MT. Rhodes and is familiar with it in every detail, hence his selection to make the exhibition at this con- vention. Through the influence and work of Congressman Floyd, MT. Rhodes has secured permis- sion from the secretary of the association to make an exhibit of the desk in the same hall of the meeting.
 There is every reason to be- lieve that many postmasters will in this way be made to become interested in the desk, for it's yslue is recognized on sight by Every man who is familiar with the workings in a. post office. It is specially designed for the handling of the money order de- partment. having "a place for everything" within easy reach from seat in front of the desk. One very valuable feature of the desk is the arrangement for holding the blank money order book.

An Estimate or the Output Of the
Mines Of the World.

Like all precious metals and stones.
in regard to diamonds is the carat. Of
which 1511a go to make up single
ounce To think of sacks of diamonds
by the ton staggers the imagination;
indeed, the average annual output OF
the Kimberley mines is not more than
half ton all told.
Statistics have been published re-
Gently al Cape Town giving the out
put for several years past Of the Kim.
berley mines and the river diggings.
These yielded in the three years 1903
05 nearly 7,25O,O00 carats, say ton
and half The monetary value OF
these diamonds was G10,450. 900.
Since the first diamond was discov
cred by the banks of the Vaa1 in 1867
down to the end of 1906 it is estimated
that the total weight of diamonds ex
tracyed from the Griqualand mines is
over !2ta tens, OF market value OF
fully Ge5.c0O, 600
If statistics of this sort can be trust
ed-and in the case Ct the South Afri-
can yield they closely approximate to
the facts-only II tons of diamonds
had been mined all over the world to
the end of 1901. With the same rela~
tive output since that year from Bra
zil and India the worlds output of dia-
monds is now more than 20 tons.
The figure seems small, considering
the ages diamonds have been worked
in India and elsewhere in the east,
and must be largely guesswofk with
respect to the output in antiquity. 1t
is, however, certain that more dfa-
Elonds have been placed on the mar
ket in the last 40 than in the previous
thousand years.-PaIl Mall Gazette.

A number Of people are charg
ing President Roosevelt with the
present financial troubles, that they
are altogether due to his "poli-
cies." What is it that the Presi-
dent has been doing? What are
his policies? First, he has been
trying to enforce the provisions of
the antitrust laws-laws enacted
by congress-which under his oath
of office he has sworn to do; sec
ond, his policy is that wrong doing
in high places is just as amenable
to the criminal laws as in the more
lowly walks of life. The enforce
ments of these things interferes
with the flow of dollars into. the
pockets of lot of big rascals.
These rascals have the power that
money wields, and they arc now
welding it to show the President
and the people who have placed
him at the head of the government
that they must not be interfered
with. The apologists of these ras-
Gals argue that it is botter for them
to be permitted to carry on their
high band game than to involve
the country in u period of hard
times by seeking to check them.

Science and the Orange.

For product of nature, a Cali
fornia navel orange as it graces
the breakfast table or the push
cart is about the most artificial
thing in the world. 1t is also !,
very striking illustration of the
fact that while beauty may be only
skin deep, it counts for whole
lot.
To begin with, the navel orange
of California is an exotic, reaching
its present habitat after devious
wandering. And be it ever so
sweet tasting, if its skin has bad
its beauty marred it scarcely ever
gets farther than the orchard
where it grew. Not only that,
but even the most comeIy ones, be-
fore they are boxed and shil ped,
are brushed by machinery and pol
ished and otherwise fused with to
give them Il beauty which mere
nature never would have provided.
Science and machinery have
been busy with the nave! orange
ever since it came to California,
and the result has been very strik-
ing. Fifteen years ago there were
1880, 900 boxes Of oranges ship
ped a year from the State: now
there are about 1900, 600 boxes,
and their value is upwards of 500
100000 annually. To their culti-
vation $4,000 acres in the southern
part Of the State are devoted, rep
resenting All investment OF about
1926, 900, 900, and there are said to
be more than 6,OOO,O0o trees in
process Of growth in the various
orchards. Labor saving devices
have been applied to the handling,
polishing, grading and packing OF
oranges, aud a system of co opera
tive direction in their marketing,
till now the average cost 10 the

kcting Is 81 cents Il box, as com

The Farmers Opportunities.

German ingenuity not long ago
created Il iloarishlng industry bas-
ed on the substitution of mashed
potatoes for wood in the manufac-
ture Of lead pencils. Consul kehl,
at Stet,ll, now reports even more
remarkable transformations of
skim milk. The milk is dried,
vulcanized, and pressed, when it
resembles yuIcanized rubber or
cel'uloid. Fifteen gallons of skim
milk will produce eighteen ounces
of the new substance, which can
be made to initiate ivory, tortois
shell, amber, marble Or coral. 1t
can be pressed into any desired
shape, can be sawed, cut and pol
ished like natural horn, and is not
affected by oils, grease, ether, or
benzine. 1t sells at from Is to 80
cents IL pound. These are rosy
davs for the farmer. When his
milk fails to pass inspection he can
transfer it into side combs or bill
lard balls. When his potatoes
are not fit to eat be can take his
choice between turning them into
alcohol to run his automobile and
lead pencils to figure out his pro
fits.--CoIlier's Weekly.

Mrs. Romadka as a Scapegoat.

Mrs. Romadka, the wife Of
Milwaukee millionaire, who was
arrested some weeks ago charged
with stealing valuable dress goods
and jewels, has been convicted and
sent to Joliet prison. The press
dispatches carry interesting ac-
counts of her arrival and recep-
ton there, of how she donnea the
rough prison garb, and how, be-
ing served in her cell with the
regular prison fare of ''corned
beef and cabbage black coffee and
rye bread, she put it aside un-
tasted.
The Romadka case is not only
interesting but important. 1t
should establish precedent. When
arrested in Chicago, the woman,
after being identified as million
ares wife, admitted her identity,
and confessed that she had stolen
not from necessity, bnt from
choice. II had everything need
ed or even wanted" she said. II
don't know what made me steal;
the devil, l guess This is d
shrewd guess. The devil it must
be who prompts anybody with
wealth great enough to supply not
only everything needed, but every
thing wanted, to take the personal
property of ether people. But
! when the plea was raised in court
as means of relieving Mrs. Roma
dka of her legal responsibility, the
court, deciding that it was with
out jurisdiction over the devil,
forced the woman to trial on the
evidence in the case, and she was
promptly convicted and sentenced.

The Farmer Must Use improved
Seed.

The farmer who grows scrub corn
to-day is as much out of date as is the
man who raises scrub stock. Wheat,
oats, aud all other farm crops are be-
ing improved, and the man who is to
keep abreast of the times and make
the largest profit with the least effort
must take advantage Of these oppor.
tunitIes. 1t is impossible for him to
avail himself to the fullest extent of
these improvements without he un-
derstands the points upon which they
are based. \ few weeks devoted to
Judging corn, wheat. oats, and 50
forth, will enable him to take advau-
tage Of the improvements which are
