LOCAL NEWS

A few members of the High
Binders Club were treated to an
athletic feast Tuesday morning
when Dispatcher Bowman and
Conductor Ennis ran a foot race
on Railroad Avenue. The race
was for $1,000 a side; one hum
dred yards, and was won hands
down by Mr.. Bowman. The
start was made in front OF DR..
Waite's office, the finish line being
at Babbitt's store. Mr.. Ennis
made the claim that the race had
not been fairly won, that Mr.Bo
man had not ran the entire dis
tance but that he ran to the side
about five feet from the
finish line, Bowman was "a
bout five in the lead at this point
and Ennis claimed that he had
just started to sprint and that
he would have won had Bow
man continued straight ahead.
He wanted to run the race over
again, which Bowman agreed
to provided his opponent would
nut uD some more maZuma. The
referee and stake holder, how
ever, decided that Bowman was
the winner.

Cure Of RattIe-snake Bite

DR.. O. S. Brown, Santa Fe Sur
geon at Winslow, encountered a
most difficult case a few days
ago and by almost superhuman
efforts saved the mans life. E.
Madigal, a healthy young Mexi-
can "a years of age, living at
Bibo, east of here, was bitten
on the back of the hand near
the little finger by a mountain
or bush rattler, one of the most
venomous of it's kind. He was
bitten May 25th and did not
reach Winslow until the next day.
The time keeper at B1bo had
shown good Judgment in place
ing ligatures on his arm above
the wound and this precaution
no doubt had much to do with
the saving the mans life. When
he reached WinslOw the arm was
swollen so badly that the skin
had bursted in places and he was
seemingly in a dying condition,
there being no pulse in the left
wrist. DR.. Brown has given us
the treatment pursued which we
give in full as it may be the means
of saving life at some other time.
Patient was given hypodermic
of 1-2O grain strychnine at Ais
a. m. Then the hand and arm
were freely incised and the parts
immersed in a solution of bichlo-
ride solution of 1 to 500 strength
Just as hot as he could possibly
stand it. At 4::2O he was given
two ounces of good whiskey dill

ne was given 1-10 gr. strychnine
hypodermicallv. The hot bichlo-
ride solution was changed as
soon as it got a little cool, about
every fifteen minutes, until four
changes had been made. Then.
$50 a. M, the ligatures were cut
and hand and arm immersed in
the hot bichloride:solution. The
swelling had by this time almost
entirely disappeared and he was
easier and some brighter. At 6
a. m. he was given two ounces of
whiskey diluted with water.
This he vomlted at once. At 6:15
a. m. his hand and arm were
dressed with moist bichloride
covered with oiled silk protective
and bandage applied overit. At
Z a. m. he was given black coffee
quite strong. This he retained
for thirty minutes and then vom-
tied. At 7:3O he was given 1-2O
gr. strychnine hypodermically.
From this on he had 1-6O or.
strychnlne every three hours un-
til the next morning. No further
attempt was made to give any
thing either medicine or nourish-
ment by stomach until evening.
At 6 p. m. he was given a bowl
OF soup. This he retained for one
hour and then vomited. Next
morning he retained light nour-
ishment. His hand and arm
were dressed again with the
same moist dressings at 9 a. m.
At 10 a. m. he had quite sew
ere spasm, caused as the phvsi-
clan thought by too much stry-
chnine. No pulse to be found in
left wrist until 1 D. m. then 1t
was very weak and running 16O
per minute. During the after
noon he gradually became
stronger. During the entire day
he would faint away whenever
he was raised up for anything.
He made an uneventful recovery.
The hand sloughed quite freely
at the seat of injury.
Several valuable hints as to
treatment can be drawn from the
above case. First, as to the val
ue of tight ligatures whenever
possible, cutting off the absorp-
tion of the poison. Second, the
Importance of making free incis-
sions and thus draining the pol
son away before it is absorbed.
Third, the entire dependence up
on stimulating the heart bv US
ing strychnine alone. Fourth,
the treatment of the case with.
out using or rather getting ac-
tion from any alcoholic liquors.

ARKANSAS DEAF MUTE INSTITUTE
 OPENS OCTOBER END.

This is free school for all the deaf children of sound mind in the state not an asylum for feeble minded. crippled or ..infrm. Every good citizen ought to sec to 1t that the parents of deaf children in his neigh hborhood Know of the school and urge them to take advantage Of its privileges. It is an educational institution of which every citizen should feel proud. It is doing a noble work for these afflicted chil dren.
 The Public schools are free to the hearing. This school IS free to the deaf. The parents of deaf children who have kept their children away from school have robbed them of the privileges justly due them. This Is the only place in the state where they can be taught, and to leave them uneducated is dangerous. Edu- cated. they are support to the family and society; uneducated, they are usually burden to both.
 Parents ought not to let mis- taken idea of love and dread of separation drive them to make the lamentable error of keeping their deaf children at home.
 The Institute has B teachers in the school proper and 9 instructors in the trades and professions. Last year a99 pupils attended this school You send your children to school untrained and they send them back as educated workmen.
 There are d physician, aurist, dentist and two nurses who are paid regular salaries to look after the children four women who are con stantly with the girls when they are not busy at lesson, one of them to go through the domitory every half hour at night and see that the little ones are covered and comfort able and man and women to be with tho boys, the women to be with the little boys.
 Besides the common school branch es, the following trades are taught:
 To the girls-Dress-making. tailoring. cooking, house-work, fancy needle work basket weaving. typewriting. bookkeeping. and art.
 To the boys-Printiug. painting, cabinetmaking, turning. carpentry, paper-hanging. plastering. tailor ing, harness-making, shoe-making. type writing, bookkeeping and art,
 The buildings are most beautiful iy situated on the highest hill in Little Rock, making good health certain.

Hundred Thousand CT

Hundred Thousand Clubs, Boards of Trade and other things are frequently started up to boost cities and towns, in Arkansas, but what this eoun- try needs, just now. worse than anything else, is some sort of an organization to encourage the agricultural interests. When the farmer prospers all other kinds of business necessarily grows. but fl the agricultural in- terests are permitted to run down or lag it will only be a short time until everything else will be on the bum" order. The farming interests of the country can be aided in many ways. Good prices for the pro- ducts of the farm helps; good country schools are important; but nothing will do more to as sist the farming community than good public roads. If the time ever comes when the farm ST can drive to town with a two-mule team and bring four bales of cotton, with ease, in half the time that 1t now takes to bring two bales. with four mule team. things will be- gin to grow brighter for him, and his troubles will be greatly lessened. In the most prosper ous States of the Union the farmers composessthe wealthiest class. and there is no good reas- on why this should not be the aase in Arkansas. We have the soil. climate and all ot natures eoncomitants, and if the people will only take advantage of their opportunities and do their part this country can be made a veritable garden.

is equally prized, as a renovator
 and improver Of soils 1t has no
 competition.
 Alfalfa can be raised in many counties in Arkansas, vet the production of 1t in this state does not constitute one-fourth the supply consumed in Arkan- sas. Alfalfa hay raised in New Mexico finds q ready market in Arkansas. So does Kansas and Oklahoma alfalfa, while the Ar kansas product, equal in merit, IS scarcely sufficient to attract passing attention because of its paucity.
 Recurring to the remarks of Mir. Coburn, this observation from him is imperative: As is well known, alfalfa is one of the oldest forage plants, but to the husbandrv of the American farmer 1t is of but recent acqui- sition. kansans were among the foremost to correctly esti- mate it's worth and its wide. spread insrod uction in the Sun flower state has been one of the most important factors in in- creasing bank deposits and the per capita wealth.
 There is a great demand in Ar kansas for Alfalfa. Much, if not all, of the demand could be satis- fled by Arkansas farmers if they would engage extensively in al falfa growing In this way 1t will not be necessary to send Ar kansas money to New Mexico and lsewhere, and a profitable industry can be added to the other rcvenue-producing crops on Arkansas farms. ."-Arkansas Gazette
 That Alfalfa is a great crop there IS no doubt, and that it can be grown successfully in Ar  kansas goes without saying. It IS a well known fact that the soil of Arkansas will produce, abundantly, almost every known crop. There are a few small patches of alfalfa in this county. which have proven to be a success. To insure success in alfalfa growing there must be a thorough preparation of the soil. and a liberal application of stable manure and potash, then with pure seed, the crop is al most certain.

Rolling on q Barrel.

The public in general and life savers
IN particular should be warned Of the
danger and folly of. rolling on a bar
rel the bodies of apparently drowned
persons. This process has never yet
helped to resuscitate,j though it has
undoubtedly killed many, half drown
ed persons. The idea that it pumps
OUT the water lis entirely falla-l
cious.E In the first place, sno water
enters the lungs of a drowned man
till he has been absolutely dead 9for
many hours. In the second, the re-
moval of water from the stomach is
quite a secondary consid Grafton com
pared with the Importance Of re-estab.
fishing the action Of heart and lungs,
and rolling a body on a barrel is about
the surest way Of. preventing both
heart and lungs from resuming their
normal functions. Artificial expansion
and contraction Of the chest by alter
nately stretching the arms above the
head and COMPRISING the chest with
them is the correct first aid to the ap.
parently drowned, but never can roll.
