The Town Talker.

We had a pleasant chat with the Town Talker last Thursday. He is always cheerful and ex- pectant of better things. He says Prescott will show marked improvement in the next two years. He thinks we need a high school. It would soon give back to the town the money that it would cost, and it would invite the most intelligent and progress i've people to settle here. It is brains and worthy character that make a prosperous community.
 We inquired about the churches as the Town Talker always takes notice of church affairs. He said that there are good many more people attending the different churches in town than there were a year ago, and especially more

No Harm t,o Publish Facts.

All things are Tn motion. Nat ure's law is fixed and must be obey ed. Every institution is either ris- ing or falling. That which can not grow must perish, and in the face of these facts we announce that the Mena Business College is growing better and better. We teach booking and banking just as is practiced in the office; we teach the Syllable system of short hand, the modern wonder that IS going to revolutionize the steno- graphic world; we prepare a good student in 30 days to make 100 words per minute and read every word. Do not doubt what we say. Our institution is not on wheels, we are established for (99) years under contract that envolves many thousand dollars and therefore can not misrepre- sent. The man or woman who comes to Mena for commercial training shall never leave disap- pointed. We are not the oldest, not the largest. just the cheapest and the best. Our catalog tells the rest.

 Perfect characters are hard to find, therefore 1t is a duty to re- spect men in spite of some weak nesses, or even vices.
 Honesty is an inward principle and does not regulate it's con- duct by the outward conditions of men. A man can not deal un- justly with one class of men and be honest with another.
 Nature is very accommodating; he who has not sense enough to seek an education when he is young will not have sense enough to regret it when he is old.
 The bane of our Southland is that white folks should live with out work. The negroes are talk ing up the same notion. What a time of it we shall presently have. There is far more offered to the industrious farmer than to the petty tradesman. It is surprising how many men, who ought to get bravely forward in the world, spend their time fish ing in a puddle with a pinhook.
 A fool would range the world over and never find a sensible man.
 No man is so vicious that he does not claim to admire virtue; yet he can see virtue in no one. Every good man is, in his esti- nation, a hypocrite, and none dispises hypocrites so much as he.
 Men must be held responsible for the evil which they do. fone sets your house on fire do not let him escape while you hunt for the man who sold the match.

children in the Sunday schools. Rev. Mir. Highsmith, he said, is getting a good congregation, and is man of excellent spirit. He is a good addition to our working force. The Sunday school also at the Christian church is ;mprov- ing. The new pastor is rallying the forces at the Baptist church. There are good many church members still setting around on the fence. But the workers are increasing.
 What the Talker had further to say will be found in the wise words which follow:
 The pastor of one of the churches said to non-affillating member: Tell me plainly why you do not go to chnrch.' He replied, "One meets so many hypocrites there "Oh, don't let that keep you away said the pastor, we always have room for one more"
 It is far easier to enact good laws than it is to elect good men to enforce them. In the one case we see only principles in- volved; in the other. we are lia- ble to be deceived in the charac- ters of men, or personal laws sway us; or we grow weary of the time and labor which are de- manded in order that just laws may be enforced.
 The man who makes his home a heaven, will make heaven his home.
 The man who is suspected of making money dishonestly, will have the ways of honest living presently closed against him.
 The liquor dealers say our pres ent legislature is a hard lot. This is encouraging to good citizens.

 Senator Spooner was in the midst of constitutional discussion of the au- thority of the President in the case when adjournment was taken. Mir. Spooner held that when the President exercises his powers as Commander in- Chief of the army, the Senate has no Jurisdiction over his actions. He also eontended that Congress has no power to legislate specifically to restore the soldiers discharged in the present case. declaring that review can only be had by impeachment proceedings, which must originate in the House of Rep resentatives Several senators have in- dicated that they Intended to discuss the question, and the Brownga He de- bate is therefore likely to absorb the attention of the Senate for several days.

Eng1neeEu Have Been Known to WOrk as Lens ns 1hirty-six Hours
 Without Hest on

Washington. Jan. il--Today's inves- tigatiop by she Interstate Commerce Commission into the block signal sys- tenn in use on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. showed that men engaged in the operation of trains worked an ex- c~sive number of hours without suf- ncient period of rest intervening. are placed upon the hours trainmen shall work and that they take adyan- taKe of the opportunity offered to labor for many hours in order to incrcase their compensation. An instance was given where an engineer had worked for thirty-six hours and had no rest during that time.
 The company, according to the tssti- mony. relied upon It's men to claim rest when they felt need of It. The com pany dwelt at length on tho question of hours of trainmeh because 1t is be- lieyed by the Commission that the facts brought out in this pArtfcuiar phase of the investigation will accelerate thw passage through Congress of tho biH limiting the hours of those enEased h the transportation service of railroads.
 Only i've wtfnesses were heard today and the most important points were brought out by General Manager Fits- gerald. Train Master Kelly and Will liam M. Dutrow, operator at Silver Springs. Mfr. Fitzgerald testified that his road had never neglected an oppor- tunity to test any safety appliance of fered that would in any way materially lessen accidents. Accidents, he said, largely occur as the result of the fall ure of men to take proper time to rest
 Mir. Keliy's testimony related to the movement of trains and the excessive hours of labor on the part of the traifa- men,. Operator Dutrow testified that the crews of the two trains that were in the accident had endeavored to throw the responsibility for the wreck upon his shoulders.

 Senator Mallory indorsing the action of the President. opened the discussion. He held that the President might have gone too far in preventing the re-en- listment of the soldiers involved, but otherwise he approved the Presidents order of discharge.
