DIES FROM SMALL
POX
Golah Griswood Contracts Disease From
Ginning Bale of Cotton.

Springfield, Jan. II, Special
Golah Griswood, one of the leading
young farmers, living five miles
South of here, died Wednesday
from small pox. He contracted the
disease from ginning bale of cot
ton for negro whose family had
used the seed cotton as bed while
having the disease. The negro
tried two gins closer to him, and
they both refused to gin the cotton
then he slipped off to the Griswood
gin, and as they knew nothing OF
the facts, they ginned the cotton.
Two of the gin crew and two chill
dren who were present were infec-
ted. And as they were ignorant Of
the disease that they had, moi
having even thought that such a
disease was in the country any
where, quite a number of their
friends have now been exposed
from attending them before the
physician could diagnose the
trouble.

Conway Public
School Notes.

Rev. J. B. Stevenson paid his
weekly visit to us last Wednesday.
On account of several of the
members on the program being alb
sent last Friday, the Lanier society
was not so interesting as usual.
This is examination week and
the pupils are ex -rting themselves
in order to make as good grades as
possible. This examination deter
mines whether they receive the
midwinter promotion or not.
There have been only two or
three cases of hardness this month
and almost all the grades will re-
ceive a half holiday as the reward
for their punctuality.
Both boys and girls thoroughly
enjoyed themselves snow balling
during the month.
On account of the High School
receiving half holiday next Fri
day, the Lanier society will not
hold its regular meeting. On the
following Friday the officers for
the third quarter will be elected.
Work is progressing very rapid
ly on the new building and it is
hoped it will be ready for occupancy
in about six weeks.

NONE APPLY FOR PARDONS
Gov. Donaghey Has Not Been Asked to
Start Pardon Mill.

Little Rock, Jan. I9-Special-
Nearly week now George w.
Donaghey has been in office and
not one application has yet been
made to him for a pardon. The
people seem to take it for granted
he will not break the pardon mill
pond ice very readily and have re-
Trained from sending in such petit
tons. The governor receives
hundreds of callers daily, and
strange to say, the most enthusi-
astic, if possible, of these are Re-
publicans, as they count upon a
square deal from the new chief ex-
ecutive. Gov. Donaghey receives
many complimentary speeches from
the Republicans who call upon
him. Another peculiarly OF the
visitors is that few of them now
have favors to ask of the governor.
Governor Donaghey says to all
that if they have anything to take
up with him, not to hold back, but
speak it right out as he wants to
hear from all, and though he may
not grant the request, he will at
least give the most lowly as impair
tial hearing at the leading citizen
of the state.

By quick and cool-headed work
this morning, Mrs. F. y. Halter
saved their handsome residence on
College avenue from burning, after
the flames had completely envelop-

alone at the time and had left near
a stove in the room some bedding

Coalinu a Ship.

A steamship among other things, Ia

other thlngs-sometimes q floating

ress-but whatever 1t may be in such
respects It has to contain power

auxiliary machinery, and at the pres
existence are found on board the
great transatlantic liners and on the
powerful battleships of the navies Of
the world.
A ship, In order that its work may
be effected at maximum efficiency,
must be at sea for the greater part
of its life. For a warship the So
called steamer radius Is a critical
element in its efficiency, and this
element Is dependent largely upon
It's fuel capacity and rate OF fuel con-
sumption. As a matter of fact. the
fuel capacity Is the controlling feat
ure. and II, by reason of improved
engine design, the fuel consumption
ID reduced no reduction Is made in
the coal capacity. but the gain is
used to extend the steaming radius.
In the case OF warships the ques-
tion Of coaling Is often OF critical i'm
portance. Thus, during the voyass
of the Russian fleet from Libau to
Tsushima much difficulty was exper-
fenced In coaling in neutral ports
within the time limit imposed by
international comfy and the fuel
question was one OF life or death. in
sofar as the fighting value OF the
feet was concerned. Again, the op-
portunities for coaling are often lin
tied TO periods when the spaces at
the coaling station Is available, and
the possibilities of handling hun
dreds of tons OF coal within few
hours govern the whole situation.
That these stringent requirements
have been successfully met Is seen in
the remarkable coaling records which
have been made as q result of the
competition which has been devel-
oped at various points, especially in
connection with the coaling of war
ships, At the present time the record,
made by a modern plant at Puget
Sound, Wash. in connection with the
coaling of the United States battle
ship Virginia, 10 the loading of 1857

handled with the incentive OF previous
performances as standards. .--C Casters

Ezra Burt, who lives about mile

scrawny, disappearing fowl. with be-
draggled feathers and a semi-bald
head, and what Is more 1t has laid
only one egg In its entire two years
existence. Still, old Betsy, as the hen
II called, has a niche In Ezras heart,
and gets the very best grain the farm
affords.
The secret of all this Is that the one
egg Betsy laid contained on It's shell

where old Jeremiah Burt, Ezra's great
grand father, buried his gold at the
time of the revolutionary war, and
with the aid Of this, map Ezra recov-

were tired out They knew that the
paternal Burt sunk his gold some

war without telling his family where
he had placed It.: further than that It

Last summer O gypsy came along
selling beads and laces, and offered to

riddle, provided Ezra bought dollars
worth of her wares. Burt took up the
offer and In her trance the woman
said that some day an old scrawney
hen would lay an egg on which would
be found a map. II this were followed,
the treasure would be found. Ezra
thought he was "stung,,' but he paid
the dollar.
Nothing more happened until a
month ago, when Betsy was found In
the wood box behind the kitchen stove.

In her kitchen, Mrs. Burt shooed her
out. and was surprised to find an egg
nesting In the shavlngs. The egg had
peculiar raised lines on the shells, and
Ezra was called. He remembered the
prophecy OF the gypsy and carefully
studied the shell. Sure enough, there
was a map with little star at the
base of an old maple tree in the sugar
orchard.
With a pick and shovel Burt set
forth, and an hour later returned with
a discolored copper kettle heavy with
gold. The family kept the secret un-

Worlds Lara.s, Barometer.


The biggest barometer In the world
is In the city of Faenza, Italy. 1t is n
monument to Torriceli, inventor Of
the barometer. who was born in that
city 800 years ago. The scale of this
barometer is on a basis Of feet where
the ordinary barometer is measured In
inches. The liquid column is thirty
seven feet high Mt normal. II was In.
tended 10 use a thirty-two foot column
Of water, but this was abandoned be-
cause water evaporated too quickly.
Then glycerin was tried, but with this
liquid the normal height was only
twenty-seven feet, which was not
enough. Olive oil was chosen finally.
The tube rests against a monumental
pillar of stone Olive oil is the lightest
liquid yet used for barometer. When
lighter one Is made available a taller
barometer may be constructed. Pas.

Early Trottina Races.

Of Fourth avenue and Eighteenth
street. 1t seems to have been an ali
