LUST A FEELIN' FINE"
Says Tom Payne Over Pres
 ent Oil and Gas Prospects

Tom Payne was over from the Springs Saturday for the first time in almost q month, having been engaged in the task fight ing seige of the grip, He was accompanied by Col W. C.. Newell of Tulsa, Oklahoma, 2 geologist and oil operator of wide experience, who came here simply to 1'ze-up the situation, as il is biz business to know what is going on everywhere in the Iin- of oil development.
 The hurried glance the Colonel gave the surroundings led him 70 say that everything looks "regu- lar" for bringing in an oil field here. He said he found every thing here he could have ex- pected to find in the way of out ward evidence.
 'I pronounce it an excellent gamble" said the Colonel as he nudged at the end of cigar "I would rather risk it than any other wildcat proposition that I know of now"
 Comminting further on the mat ter Col. Newell said the first well, nor the second might not be successful, but that he believed that perseverance will bring in "field" here. He then dropped the suggestion that instead of town of hundreds, Green Forest would then become city of thousands
 In a sort of confidential way we pulled MT Payne to one side and asked him how he was feel. ing on the situation so far developed, and he gave us a slap on the shoulder that gave strong emphasis to his assurance he is "feeling fine.'' q am simply we'll pleased with the drveIop- ments so far and 1 don't object to you quoting me to that effect" he added with 8 look of confi- dence. "Everything is lovely so far and expect it to continu" so; the boys are all well pleased. J
 There have been rumors to the effect that "something has been struck" during the past week, but there is absolutely nothing to base it upon except the confidence expressed in the scheme by those in charge of the work. The strong flow of water has been a little bit troublesome to manage, the casing having had to be taken up and re- adjusted several times during the past week. But little depth has been gained during the past three weeks.

 The first really serious break down The Tribune office has ever "enjoyed" occurred OH last press day, when little bolt dropped out on the cylinder track of our big press and the smash-up that followed was quick and effective. A telegram to the factory at Madison, Wis, brought the broken portion, however, in short order and we are again on deck The issue lacked just dozen papers being finished when the accident occurred.

L.aGrippe Weakness

< After spell of La Grippe was 50 weak and exhausted l could hardly stand. I began taking Dr. Miles, Nervine and was soon better in evsey way"
 MRS. F. J. NORTON. Freeville. N. '.
 La Grippe seems to wrench every particle of vitality from it's unfortu- nate victims. That's where the principal danger lies; because 1t leaves the system in weakened condition which invites more serious diseases. During convalescence
 Dr. Miles Nervine should be taken to restore nervous energy, and overcome this weaken sing influence which is the most serious effect of La Grippe. The first bottle will benefit; if not, yovr druggist will return soyr monsy

The recital by Miss Margaret Winfred Landis which has been contemplated for s me time will be had at the Baptist church on Thursday night, Feb. 24. Miss Landjs is d noted reader, having given many successful recitaIs in the large cities. Her coming here will furnish our people a very unusual treat.
 Although our town is the center of populous community Green Forest has never been considered as furnishing "g3od picking" for either doctors or lawyers, but man of these pro fessions are not to be classed as "undesirable citizens," hence we want to be in the fashion and have the best of both. The town is to be congratulated upon the fact that we have now with us firm of good lawyers in the persons of Messrs A. l.. Kinney and R. Hill, who have just ar- rived here from Reading, Mich :, and opened an office in the 'oms formerly occupied by pr. G.V Poynor. The forpler has been actively engaged in practice since 1888, for ten years being a partner of Senator Lockererby at Reading, enjoying a large and lucrative business Mr. Hill is graduate from the law depart ment of the University Of Michi gan and has been associated with MT Kinney since 1902. Both genttem ri are admitted to the bar of the supreme court of Michigan and the U. 5, court We hope they will command a good share of the law practice of this portion of the state and we have no doubt but they will.

A VISIT TO "EURICKY"
The Opening of Circuit Court
 in the Western District

The Tribune editor spent MOn- day and part of Tues lay in Eu reka Springs at the opening of circuit court. It was hard to tell whether Monday was day o court or of politics. Owing to the pressing demand of the tax payers, who do not sem tn count the cost, the first day of our courts have come to be largely devoted to political pow wowing, and Monday was no exception The morning session was given over en ;irely to the candidates
 Judge Naples spoke elcquen'- ly and logically in beh If of his candidacy for rejection to the judgeship He was followed by county, who aspirrs to the same office, whose principal reason it seems is based upon the fact that in case Judge Naples is re- elected Carroll county will have both judicial officers, Mr Fuller having no op position for Prose- cuting Attorney.
 Mr. Fuller announced himself for Prosecuting Attorney i7 a brief speech. He was followed by Oscar Vim of Little Rock, who made a long -winded flight of oratory telling how the people of Arkansas have been robbed by the present Railroad Com mission, describing hls opponent as a man who falls little short of having a pair of horns.
 Something less than half of the auditors at this speaking were co nty candidates, who had taken Eureka Springs by storm. It was a great day for hobnoh- ping and drinking Basin water
 The docket for the Western district is light, barring the hun- dred and some odd cases against the railroad. and nadody expects anything to come If them.
 Eureka Springs seemed 10 he enjoying q fairly good winter season. The newspaper folks were busy and that is q good in- dex. The town is well provided for in the paper business Editor Deihl is giving the city the best daily it has ever had by 8 good many odds and he keeps one of the best organized forces and the cleanest offices in America. Toe Times under the management of Editor Baird is a neat and at tra tive weekly and is on solid footing. If Editors DeihI and Baird were candidates for Prince of Good Fellows we would have to vote for both of them
 The people of the Springs are very inquisitive concerning the oil prospecting at Green Forest and if the question of bringing in bunch of gushers here were one t. be voted upon we could dA- pend upor safe m' 'jo'ity in that town.

 Gee whiz, daGdy! Can't a woman say her prayers?"

INSTRUCTION IN THE SCHOOLS
Children Being Taught the Nature and Methods Of Prevention of
 Tuberculosis.

Definite instruction concerning the nature and methods of prevention of tuberculosis is being given to less than six per cent. of the public school children of the United States, accord ing to a bulletin of the National Asso- citation for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Recent investigation has shown that in only nine cities, Washington, Dallas, Tex, Richmond, Va, Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Detroit, Mich. Maiden, Mass, Salem, Mass, Saginaw, Mich, and Knoxville, Tenn, are special text books being used or lectures being given about tuberculo- sis. In three states and one territory, Michigan. Massachusetts, North Caro- lima and Porto Rico, laws have been passed requiring that instruction about the nature and methods of pre- vention of tuberculosis be given in all public schools. In Tennessee the state department of education has re- quested that such instruction be given and has issued circulars for this pur- pose In New Jersey and West Vir- ginia wall cards giving instruction are hung in every schoolroom and the attention of all children is called to them

covery or radioactive autunite, now being worked by an English company 1n the bed of a stream near Guarda. in Portugal-where miraculous cures used to happen, not unconnected with the radium-has added to the supply, but not to a very cheapening extent.
 50 far as England itself is con cerned, there are two Cornish mines that have yielded little, but the available supply of pure radium is in tensely limited, owing to the enor- nous difficulty of extraction. AL though radium exists in ar, sea water. and almost everywhere, there is hard 1y a pure ounce in the world. Un- doubtedly one of the first things that we shall have to do is to set about finding new sources of supply.
 AS to our bank, it will be organ lzed very much after the model of the similar institution in Paris, through which most of the radium used in England has hitherto come, and of other radium banks which are being established in New York, Berlin and Vienna.

Not in Freight Cars Near Baltimore, and Freezing, But Growing
 Nicely in Japan.

New York.-After four days search the pretty little Japanese cherry trees for Riverside drive which Park Con- missioner Stover feared had been lost in transit, have been found. The com missioner had bothered railroad freight agents and burned the wires on the theory that the trees were freezing to death near Baltimore.
 Why, the trees are still growing in Japan" said the surprised Dr. Taka- mine, Japanese consul, when the park commissioner aired his fears the other day.
 The commissioner had grown anx. ious in the Riverside matter because he had heard that 2,00O trees present ed by Japan for the ornamentation of the driveway at Washington had just been rooted out and burned; that they were found by experts to be infected by so many strange insects that it

St. Paul, Minn-lnstead of being "a man without a country" Prof. Julius T. Frelin ot the French department of the University of Minnesota is man of too many countries to suit his pres ent notions

The elder Frelin chose France, but continued to reside in Alsace until the time limit for nov ing set by the treaty had expired.
