When he had ended Sir William RAM
say announced the results of his recent
experiments with radium emanations
which already have been given.
Experiments are now in progress
with gold and other substances and
may furnish proof of Ramsay's belief
in the transmutation of elements and
of his theory of decomposition which,
in any case, the wonderful results
achieved by Sir William go far to
strengthen.
BERLIN, Aug, 3-Prof. Wilhelm Ost-
valid, the distinguished chemist OF
Leipzig University, was interviewed
this week on Sir William Ramsay's dis
covery that elements hitherto regard
ed as primary and Interchangeable are
capable of transmutation. He calls it
"the greatest scientific achievement
since the discovery of the practicable
ty of applying the electric dynamo to
mechanics" Professor OSWALD said:
when l visited Sir William Ram
say in London he demonstrated to me
that he could produce lithium from
copper by the action on a solution of
copper sulphate of epanations of ra-
dunn. After the copper had been ex-
tracted by means of sulphureted hydro
gen from the solution which had been
in contact with the emanations, a resi-
due of lithium remained. Since then,
as 1 have seen from the proofs of an
article which Sir William is about to
publish, he has not only confirmed the
discovery, but has added to it,"

LONDON, Aug. "A battle royal
was waged at today's meeting of the
British Association at Leicester be-
tween chemists and electricians round
the disputed definition of the atom.
and at the close of a three hours con-
test Sir William Ramsay, as the rep
resentative of the chemists, announced
the results of his recent experiments
with radium emanations.
1t is. Impossible TO exaggerate the
sensation made upon the meeting by
the Ramsay paper, or the possible eff
tects of his experiments on the future
OF chemical science. The discussion
was a remarkable revelation of the
way in which modern science works.
Helium was discovered in the sun by
the spectroscope. Lord Rayleigh's son
among others discovered helium in al
most every mineral experimental on.
and perhaps the crucial secret lies in
the fact which he discovered quite re-
Gently, that this precious substance is
unique among minerals. This helium
Is an emanation from radium and two
other substances, and proved what the
old astrologers believed, that you may
nave change from matter into force.
Hence one party has come to believe
that there is no sucn thing as matter;
that matter is a shape assumed by cleo
tricity, and that an atom is not a per-
manent thing, but a sphere enmeshing
little nits of electricity now called
electros. The whole atom, as Sir Oliver
Lodge said, squirms with electricity,
and when it escapes, as a radium, the
atom will at certain point change in
to something else.
Chemists, especially Mr.. Soddy. one
of the youngest and most brilliant in
vestigators regard this school as
drunk on radium rays" and Lord
Kelvin, who finished the debate, came

Tickets Named.

Two tickets have been named for the
coming village election and if you desire
to vote you must register at once. Mon
day evening cacus was held in the
Office of Axel Olson and the following
ticket named S. A. Anderson, F. NJ.
Green, w. NJ. Duthie, August Johnson,
Ole Bohman. No notice of this meeting
was given out and few knew that a
cacus had been held until the following
day.
Another cacus was called for Tuesday
evening when another ticket was named
composed of the following 5. A. Ander
son, f. E. Cooper, j. w. Jones, g. v.
Johnson, z. l.. Orcutt. Up to this time
the first ticket had not been filed with
the city clerk and the last named ticket,
which had also named S. A. Anderson
was Immediately filed. The law will
not permit a name to appear on more
than one ticket and this left the first
ticket short. Mr.. Anderson was also
considered very strong and the prospect
of having him kidnapped caused con-
siderable discussion among those who
first named him. Mr.. Anderson finally
settled the matter by refusing to run,
leaving both tickets one man short.
The laws requires that voters register
and if you desire to vote you had better
register. g. J. Bernardini is the regis
ter, and the books will be open but two
more days-March % and 30.

OVERCOME BY GAS
Jesse Crosson Meets Death While Cleaning Out We'll Near Board
 Camp.

Jesse Crossou, a young farmer living near Board Camp, while engaged in cleaning out a well on his father-in-law's place last Thursday about 10 o'clock was overcome by firc-damp gas which had accumulated therein and death resulted before he could be rescued from the well.
 Young Crosson had completed the work in the bottom of the well and was climbing out him. self with the assistance of rope. When almost to the surface of the ground he was overcome aud fell back to the bottom of the well and before the body could be re- moved life was extinct.
 The young man was 19 years of age and son of J. c. Crosson. He was married only two weeks ago to Miss Kittie Fried of Board Camp. His brother was in town Thursday to get a casket from the Jackson undertaking estab- ishment and the remains were inferred in the Liberty cemetery Friday afternoon.

 Another notable announcement was made by Governor Pindail today and it is one that reflects credit upon him.
 He says it was the evident m tent of the legislature that 'ne salary attaching to the goVern't' ship should be paid to Governor Little during his whole term oi oftice and that he will insist or the same being paid to Paul Little. the governors private secretary, for the account of the

PANTHER KILLED AT HOT SPRINGS.
A Successful Hunt for a Beast That
 Escaped From Hagenbeck.

Hot Springs, Aug. 2s. "A pan- ther, which has kept sections of the country between this place and Benton in terror good part of the time since last October, was shot and killed near Hot Springs yesterday.
 The animal escaped from the Hagenbeck animal show when the show train was wrecked last October near Benton.
 In the confusion several of the animals escaped, but all were re. captured except the panther. No trace was found of this auima for several weeks. Then pigs ard calves and other domestic animals began to disappear, and later some hunters sighted the beast in the hills.
 So many depredations on the barn yards were committed that hunt was organized.
 The panther was trailed by dogs and after a long chase and a fierce fight was killed.

Pat Donohue was again arrested on charge of maintaining a nui- sance by keeping an unsanitary hog pen in the city limits, and on appearing last Thursday before
 Recorder Baker asked for cou- tiuuance until Saturday because of the absence from the city of his attorney, H. A. King. The request was granted.
 Donohuc was served with two notices to clean up his property. Failing, he was arrested, but IS said to have promised Mayor Ol- ney to abate the nuisance at once and he was allowed to go by the mayor. Failing to do as agreed, he was re-arrested and on trial
 was fined S and costs, but ap- pealed hfS case.

2O7 VETERANS
 AT LOCKESBURG
The Confederate Reunion Drew Larger Crowd Than Ever Before Prominent Speakers Take
 Part in Program.

'sNNhSopuik Enter prise.
 The big Confederate reunion at Lockesburg closed Friday night after session of four days at which there was a record. breaking attendance. There were registered the names of 2O7 veterans this year against 12s last year.
 The Tuesday program was tnterfered with by fine rain, but was welcomed by all as II cooled the atmosphere and laid the dust.
 Wednesday morning was filled Tn by addresses, and in the after. noon Ben Cravens of Fort Smith made a talk that scored a great hit, followed by Senator James Il. Berry, who was greeted by a
  great ovation. His address was one of the richest treats of the reunion. Ripe with experience ln camp, in battle and in public affairs, he had message worth hearing. His speech was full of praise for his comrades in gray, and like true soldier sought not to detract from those who op- posed him in the terrible conflict. He said that those who were most loyal to the stars and bars were today the most loyal to the stars and stripes. He urged honesty and a higher staodard of citizenship.
 The DeQueen band furnished music Thursday, having returned from their Mena fair engagement.
 Asa Morgan spoke in the morn- ing, and in the afternoon Dr. c. M. Norwood of Stamps made a splendid address to veterans. There were times in the course of Dr. Nor woods address when the Enterprise man was doubtful as to whether or not this battle scared veteran had yet been thoroughly reconstructed.
 Friday, the last day, was de- voted to the exercises of the United Daughters of Confederacy and the Sons of Confederate Veterans. The speech of the day was made by Hon. John P. Lo. gan. MT. Logan is commander of the Arkansas division of the sons of Confederate veterans and a very enthusiastic worker.
 Hon. Hal Norwood of Mena had place on the program of the last day which he was una ble to fill on account of business be- fore the Howard court. It was a great disappointment to the re- union visitors for that his speech es are always treat goes with out saying.
 The Cossatot pike came in for its share of the glory as furnish ing an object lesson in road build- ing.
