Club have begun gnegot iations& for8the
purchase OF a new tract Of land on
which to construct a ball park. The
location 4 is one block north Of the
present grounds, and covers an area
55o0x4oO feet, much larger than the
present park, which is about a350x450
feet. The new park would afford bet

Riqht of Way Cleared.

The clearing of the right-ofway for the gra1 1ers on the new railroad from Searcy to Heber has been completed, with the exception of two or three miles. The grading has begun, and t looks now as if the road would be completed to Heber by next January. great deal of timbered land has been sold the past two months in White and Cleburne counties as a result of the new road The tiemakers are thick cutting and hauling timber. The new depot will be built about three blocks south of Spring park, and will be a large commanding struc- ture. The citizens of Searcy donated s8,000 to the road and that the priv ilege of locating the depot.

A FRIENDLY GROCER.
Dropped a Valuable Hint About Coffee.

For about eight years" writes a Mich woman, q suffered from nerv- ousness-part of the time down in bed with nerVOu> prostration.
 Sometimes I would get numb and it would be almost impossible for me to speak for a spell. At others, l would have severe bilious attacks, and my heart would flutter painfully when l would walk fast or sweep.
 T have taken enough medicine to start small drug store, without any benefit. One evening our grocer was asking husband how 1 was and he urged that I quit coffee and use Postum, so he brought home a pkg. and I made it according to directions and we were both delighted with it.
 50 we quit coffee altogether and used only Postum. l began to get bet ter in a months time and look like an other person, the color came back to my cheeks, 1 began to sleep well, my appetite was good and l commenced to take on flesh and beconle interested in everything about the house.
 Finally was able to do all my own work without the least sign of my old tfonble. l am so thankful for the little book, The Road to Wellville.' It has done me so much good. I haven't taken medicine of any kind for six months and don't need any.
 "A friend of ours who did not like Postum as she made it, liked mine, and when she learned to boil it long enough, hers was as good as mine. It's easy if you follow directions" Name given by Postum Company, Bat tie Creek, Mich. Read the little hook, The Road to WellVlle," ia pkgs. There's a reason"

Electricity as 2 peadener.

It would be a foolish man who should run on ahead Of present devel- opment in electricity and plant a stake to mark the limit of its growth. Before he had swung his maui score Of times. progress would have passed him and he would be erecting sign post instead of a barrier. Electricity spurts in this seven-league- boots way because so many minds are interest ed in it. The men of brains whatever their calling. recognize it's potentlaI- ties and work toward them. 1t is used in commerce and manufactures quite as much as in science. Domes- tic life claims it as a powerful and willing slave. il aids the arts in many ways and medicine has found good in it. Dr. Stephen Leduc leading physician of Paris. has whittled down the destructive properties of electro cution to beneficent powers. lie has made the death-chair over into an operating table for the surgeon. He destroys sensibility all over the body by sending a mild alternating current of electricity through the brain. In this way the patient loses conscious ness but it is not the old stupor Of anesthetics. There is no nausea, Ian guor or weakness and absolutely no effect on the heart. The patient be- comes conscious the moment the cur rent is shut off and with decidedly invigorated sensation. This will be as great boon to the doctors as to the patient, says the Cleveland Leader. It will, or at least should, do away with the old apologetic remark that the operation was success but the patient didn't rally" as if the mere technical part of carving man up with butcher-like skill was the end of the surgeons duty.

Women and Smoke.

A young Chicago woman aspires to be a smoke inspector She says the smoke nuisance is serious, and she does not see why women should not be useful in checking it. The pay does not attract her, but the oppor- tunity to do good. If she can pass civil service examination, and there is no reason to doubt her ability, there will be no legal obstacle in the way of her appointment The average wom- an as smoke inspector would put into her work degree of devotion and zeal which a man is incapable of, says the Chicago Tribune Where men dis like smoke, women hate it. It dirties their clothes. It smuts their faces. It nullifies the labor of the washer woman. It is abhorrent to them in a hundred different ways. An inspec- tor of any kind who is not full of en- thusiasm for his work, and who goes on with it merely to draw his month ly pay, never accomplishes much. It s because women have enthusiasm that they make the best kind of in spectors in certain fields of labor. They are able to see shortcomings to which the average man is blind.

Citizens of Paraaould Puzzled.

Parties residing in the southwestern part of Paragould have had their curiousity excited on account of a mysterious excavation made on all un- improved lot near the cemetery. The excavation is 1-2 feet long, feet wide and 1-2 feed deep. Officers of Paragouid were notified and the hole was dug into to see what could be found. The dirt was taken out of the hole and nothing was found except few scraps of paper. Among these was an envelope, on the reverse side of which was lot figures and some indistinct writing All the legible words and figures were: "36 inches lond and IS inches wide" The myster- long and IS inches wide" The myster- in that neighborhood te guessing.

A dozen of more wOmen's colleges, including Barnard, Wellesley, Vassar and Bryn Mawr, have formed an inter- collegiate association of students whose purpose it is to establish student government instead of facul- ty control in all the institutions repre- sented. Barnard is already practicing this system and students have almost everything under their own charge ex. cept instruction. The plan is said to be a great success, the girls being more observant of rules and regula- tions made by the faculty. And yet conservative folk will continue to feel some preference for the old plan of putting experienced and mature per sons in authority over these young women.

Young Man Attempts Suicide.

Frank King. a well-known young farmer and merchant. who lives near Helena, went to ..ha. citv recently, and became intoxicated While Tn that condition he took possession Of a horse belonging to Dr Russwurm and took a wild ride over the city. Returning to the business section he was stopped and Dr. Russwurm, not ing the exhausted condition of his horse, gave King a severe beating. King was arrested but gave bond and later went out into the country to the home of his brother, where about midnight he drank a quantity of lauda- mum with suicidal intent. The young man was very i'll two weeks ago and has admitted that the cause of the illness was laudanum. Despondency caused by financial reverses is the cause of the young mans desire to end his life.

GHOSTS PLAY MANY FRANKS.
Grab Rope from BeIlrineer and Cut
 Down Trees.

Ghostly happenings have disturbed the town of Kirkwall, the capital of the county of Orkney. On Wednes- day night, says the London Daily Mail the wife of the bellringer went to St. Magnus cathedral to sound the curfew at eight o'clock. This is an ancient custom still observed in the burgh. The bell had been tolled for less than a minute, when, it is alleged, figure suddenly appeared at the woman's s side, snatched her hands from the rope and as mysteriously disappeared.
 Another morning 20 trees which g few years ago were planted in front of the cathedral were found to have been cut down. The night was a calm one, with brilliant moonlight, and the trees were standing at one o'clock in the morning.
 Hundreds of windows have an out look on the spot, and many people who were still astir at three o'clock in the morning did not hear the slightest sound outside. Yet an hour later every tree had been destroyed. The police are baHed.

Want Machine Shops.

Citizens of Eureka Springs are very much wrought up over the prospect of losing the machine shops of the Missouri and North Arkansas Railway. Recent extensions of this railroad ne cessitates the addition of more shops and it is understood that the rail road will remove the shops to some other point where more pretentious buildings will be erected if the citi- zens of Eureka Springs do not offer to make certain concessions.
