 Second premiums and diploma prizes are offered, of course, on same stock with various and sundry other cash prizes for other characters of stock.
 Substantial premiums are of- fered in tho swine and sheep de- partments, which are well worthy of being contested for.
 The poultry department has aptly been placed under the man. agement of T. M. Buell. of Green Forest, with Prof. c. S. Barnett of Eureka Springs, his assistant. The poultry department is of great importance. There is wider range for, education and profit in the poultry industry in this country than nearly any, thing, and MT. Buell. is versed on this subject as are but few men to be found in any country, for he has the practical side of it. He not only conducts one of the finest and most scientifically managed poultry farms in the state, but he is also a large buy CT and shipper of poultry and eggs and has along with all this practically knowledge made scientific research on the subject of poultry production. His con- nection with the fair in this de- partment can but result In great good to the people, who are interested to the extent of taking advantage of the opportunity of- fered. Prof. Barnett is also an authorty on poultry raising from the practical side and his selec- tion was very apt one.
 The premiums offered in the poultry department are not large, S1.25 being the largest, but they are many, covering every kind of bird known to the in- dustry, and every body can par ticipate in this show with as- surance of capturing possibly quite a number of premiume.
 The horticultural department this year is under the direction of s. s. Cunningham of Berryville. The schedule shows a good list of premiums, ranging from $6 down. The industry represented by this department of the fair is

HON. J. F. CARL TON IN TOWN
Talks Interestingly of Condi-
 tions in His Home County

Hon. J. Frank Carlton, rep- resentative of Newton county, was over from Jasper first of the week visiting at the home of his father in Jaw, Joseph Villines, in whose home two of MT. Carlton's children reside, their mother having deceased.
 Mr. Carlton bears the dis tinction of being one of the two Republican members of the last legislature. He is a lawyer by profession and has cut rather wideswath in the Republican politics of Newton county.
 "Newton county" said Mr. Carlton to The Tribune editor, "is enjoying her full share of the general prosperity of the country. Our tax assessment of personal property this year shows an in- crease in values over last year of in round numbers S30O,00O, or increase of B 1-3 per cent in one year. The last years assess ment showed values in the neighborhood of S6OO,O00, this year they are S900,000.
 Mining interests are taking on new life also," said Mr. Carl ton. "The Spanish Lamar mine above Jasper on Buffalo is being opened up with good prospects for permanent development. We also have large stave mill interests in Newton county, which is working up the finest body of white oak timber in the state. We also have an abund- anee of the finest of Hickory
 "How is your bank?" asked the editor, wishing to learn some- thing of the well being of Green Forests former highly respected citizen, J. w. Hurd.
 ''It is doing large and pros- porous business. The deposits now run somewhere in the neigh borhood of S80,000. Yes, your friend Hurd is all right. He is making the bank an efficient and popular cashier"

Lame Back.

This is an ailment for which Cham berlain's Pain Balm has proven espec- ially valuable. In almost every in- stance it affords prompt and permanent relief. MT.

In the Surface Car.

A fat Irishwoman, bearing a number
of bundles, entered a crowded street
car. The only semblance of a seat she
could find was a small space at the
right of smartly dressed youth. Into
this space, sufficient only for an indi-
vidual Of ordinary size, the feshy Irish
woman squeezed herself, much to the
annoyance Of the youth.
After a moment or so the Irish
woman produced a cheese sandwich.
which she proceeded to devour with
every evidence of relish.
At this the youth gave her a look of
ineffable disgust and drew the skirts
Of his frock coat closer to him.

ROMANS USED SAFETY PMS.

Collar Button Among the Articles
Found in Ancient TOmhs.
Every now and then 1t Is discovered
that some extremely modern" inYen-
ton is in reality exceedingly old. For
example, the safety pin, far from being
a novelty or even of recent origin, Is
decidedly ancient-a fact made certain
by the finding of great many such
pins, fashioned exactly like those of to-
day, in old Roman and Etruscan tombs,
dating back to a period a good deal
Rfller than the birth of Christ.
The safety pin IN truth was an arti-
Gle of common use In Italy long before
the Roman empire attained the height
Of its glory. Some of them were exact
is like those OF to-day, utilizing the ia
miliar principle of coiled spring and
catch, but the material of which they
were made seems always 70 have been
bronze. They took on a development,
however, far more remarkable than our
modern safety pins, many of them be-
ing quite large affairs, ten inches or so
in length and hollow, as If designed to
be attached to the gown In front and
possibly to contain something or other
-cOnceivably flowers. Not infrequent-
ly they were ornamented with gems.
Another ancient invention was the
collar stud. 1t is true that the ancient
Romans did not use buttons to fasten
their garments, but for this very reason
safety pins were more urgently required,
and the latter seem to have been sup
plemented by studs OF bronze, which
were in shape exactly like those of to-
day. Of course, people in those times
wore no collars, but the little contri-
vance in question was utilized In other
ways. Probably-and Indeed the as
sumption is not a rash one-it had in
that early epoch the same habit as
now Of rolling under a piece OF furni-
ture on slight provocation for the pur-
pose Of eluding observation and pur-
suit, with the usual perversity Of mani
mate objects-Scientific American.

"MR. EDWARD"


In 1888 the Prince of Wales was
much interested In the creation and
organization of the College Of Music
In London. He caused 1t to be inti-
mated to the late Sir Henry Irving that
it would show the interest Of another
and allied branch Of art in the under
taking If the dramatic artists wo Id
give benefit for the new college. The
prince even suggested that Robert Ma
caire" would do excellently for the oc-
casion, with an all-star cast.
OF course Irving was delighted to
help, and the result was splendid per-
formance, at which the Prince and
Princess of Wales attended, and sum
of more than one thousand pounds was
turned over to the college-the entire
receipts. Irving himself, says Mr.. Bran
Stoker In his Personal "reminiscences
Of Henry Irving" paid all the expenses.
In the first year of its working, when
the class for dramatic study was or
ganized, Irving was asked by the direc-
torate to examine it, which he did cheer
fully, and in due time made his report.
Soon afterward he received a letter of
thanks for his services.
Although quite formal, it was most
genial and kindly letter, and to the sig
nature was appended chairman" In
acknowledging it to Sir George Grove,
the director of the college, Irving said
what a pleasure it had been to him to
be an examiner, and assured Sir George
that he would gladly hold his services
at the disposal of the college. He add
ed to his letter this postscript:
by the way, who is our genial friend,
Mr.. Edward, chairman? do not think
l have met him"
He got Mortified letter sent by mes
senger from Sir George, explaining that
the signature was that Of Albert Ed
ward"-then Prince of Wales, now his
majesty, Edward VII.

This is not the only country which
has large water-power engineering
plans on hand. There is a project un-

taking made all the easier by the stony
formation, which does away with the
necessity of artificial floors In the pro-
posed reservoirs.
How steep the approach Is appears
from the fact that there will be a de-
scent of 1,734 feet In less than two and
one-half miles. AT the base of the
mountains will be a great power sta

ated will be transmitted to Bombay and

The days have passed when every
woman had her knitting-work. Our
grandmothers picked up the stocking
when a neighbor dropped in, when the
twilight fell, when the oven needed
watching-and there is a New Eng
land tradition of one Industrious
woman who took up her knitting while
the people were gathering for family
funeral The complicated operations Of
widening" narrowing" setting the
heel" and "tOeing off" were so familiar
to feminine fingers that they could all
be accomplished by freight. Every
family discussion was conducted to tine
accompaniment Of the clicking needles.
Mary's course at the academy, Johns
journey to Boston to find a market for
mothers cheeses, the purchase of the
wood-lot and the building of the new
ell to the house were all worked into
the white stockings as they grew under
skillful fingers. All the plans were laid
with-a greater deliberation than to-day,
when the woman's part in the conversa-
tion is often taken by snatches as she
runs the sewing machine, looks after
tie separator, or wields the carpet
sweeper. Grandmother thought her way
to many a wise conclusion over her
knitting. 1t was tonic for depression
and sedative for nervous irritability.
1t was the earliest diversion for the
convalescent, and the last work which
feeble fingers and failing eyes could do
before the final rest. How many
daughter treasures with loving care
''the last pair of stockings mother
knit" The pleasant. quieting, house
wifely occupation need not go out of
fashion because machinery makes
stockings more cheaply than hands can
make them. There Is still call for the
product of the needles. For example,
the missions for seamen are always in
want Of warm knitted muff1ers and
hoods, with which sailors may brave
their winter voyages. Hospitals are
glad Of shoulder shawls for patients,
and bed-socks may help many poor
old woman to sleep warm. The knitting
which the family can spare may now
be turned into the great channels Of
charity, and so make the knitter the
happier, and the world the warmer
both in body and in heart

The great heart of the American peo-
pie throbs with sympathy for the op-
pressed in Russia and they have been
gladdened by evidences of the coming
of better day for that long-aflicted
country. But our people know that the
killing Of czar would not kill czarism.
Cars have been murdered in the past,
but czarism has lived on. Two wrongs.
no matter how great they may be, can
not be so put together as to make one
right. Murder Is not and can not be
a remedy for governmental sins. If the
lower strata of the population in Rus
sia can get on top is there any reason
TO believe the situation will be improved
by the change? Time will bring about
a wholesome compromise between the
extremes, but assassination will not be

TWO ROADS I'M TROUBLE.
PENNSYLVANIA AND BALTIMORE
e. OHIO MUST FACE COURT.
It Is Alleged That They Have Violated
The Laws Governing Trans
portation.

Pennsylvania and Baltimore & Ohio
officers must face the United States
tribunal for alleged violations of laws
governing transportation affairs
While numerous similar suits have
been brought against other roads, es-
pecially in the West, the Pennsylvania
and Baltimore & Ohio were somehow
thought to be observing laws to the
letter.
The suit against the Pennsylvania
Lines west is for alleged violation OF
a law requiring live stock transported
in freight trains to be unloaded, rest
ed. watered and fed at least once In
every twenty hours. A case in which
the law has been evaded occurred on
a shipment of hogs and sheep from
indianapolis to Pittsburg, the animals
not being watered within period OF
fifty-four hours. Suit against the Is.
e. O. is for alleged violation of the
statute requiring 70 per cent of the
freight cars to be equipped with auto
matte coupling whereas trains with
so per cent of the cars SO equipped
are being hauled.
