The United States Government does
not propose 10 have trouble with the
government of Mexico over the con-
slant reports which arrived telling
about raids of Mexican cattle rustlers
into American territory and on Amer
lean herds.
1t is proposed to put a summary
stop To this trouble by the employ
ment of the United States Cavalry
To run down the raiders and take them
to the nearest United States marshal
to be held for trial There win be
no difficulty in making out a case
against any of the raiders, as the cav

are caught red handed in the COM

General Wood and the Secretary r
War along the Mexican border final
arrangements will be made to protect
the whole line. even If 1t requires
more than the three regiments OF

When # meets naxt Saturday in
regular weekly session, the State
Prison Board will elect the superin-
tendent and surgeon Of the institu-
ton as we'll as similar officers for
the State Farm. This was learned
yesterday from an authoritative
source.
II was also learned that the board
will re-elect all the officers except
the prison surgeon without hest
fancy As IS generally known, there
are two aspirsnts fer ghis otiioe-~pr.
Charles V. Darlington. the incum-
bent, and Or. Herbert Mann, nephew
of the Governor.
The indications point TO the e1ee-
ton OF Or Mann by the vote OF
four to one, although lir. Darlington
and hts friends are still hopeful,
They contend 1t Is highly improper
for Or. Mann to 10 candidate for
the position in View OF the fact that
| the Governor names the members ot

Backing DR., Manns candidacy Is
practically the entire strength OF the
| Medical College of Virginia. ii Is said,
while Or. Darlington has the back

/ II was reported yesterday thnt Or

Guthrie, Okla, April 22.-County
commissioners have no authority to
rebate the penalties that accrue on
unpaid taxes and should not under
take to do so. This is an opinion
from the attorney generals office to-
day to w. p. McGinnis of Beaver.
An opinion to William Clark, town
attorney of Hooker, states that JUS
tice of peace districts of a county do
not include any territory within the
corporate limits of an Incorporated
town or city, which in themselves are
districts, and neither is a resident of
any such town or city eligible to JUS
tice of peace office for the district
the town wherein he
lives.
Fees earned by a county Judge in
taking dispositions must be deposited
with the county treasurer as are other
fees earned by that office, is an opin-
ion given to County Judge F. w. Mad
ison at Fairview.

Jme out in the spring OF the year,

And hail you with rousing cheer.
Wen offer you berries and apples,

And the homage that's due to all

Wen show you our City of Roses.
In which we take pardonable
pride;
And the key of the city is yours,
The doors of our homes open wide
Wen show you our capitol building.
The Old Statehouse with its quaint

The storehouse OF Arkansas relics,
And the hist'ry and myst'ry of

And if you feel jolly or boistrous,
You foxy old "siXty-one boys,
Wen let you fire off Lady Baxter
If you think she won't make too

For the day of the cannon is over
The gun is all rusted and old
And the part that she played for our

Remains but tale that is told.
Then, come and see us, Old Soldier
The best that we have we bestow,
And We trust that Gods blessings at

As you sit in the campfre's glow.

TERMINAL PROJECT
IN NEW YORK CITY
BUILDING WILL COST MILLION
DOLLARS AND EMPLOY THOU.
SANDS OF MEN.

New York, April 22.-Within
month the New York Dock company
will begin the work of razing an en-
tire block of their four.story brick
warehouse fronting on what is known
as Commercial Wharf in Erie Basin
The building thus to be demolished to
make way for more modern facilities
extends from Verona to Commerce
street. and has a depth of the full
block from Commercial Wharf (Con-
over street, to lmlay street.
Upon the site of the razed buildings
the company has planned to build
large railroad terminal, with a CON
crete bulkhead. having a frontage of
600 feet on Erie Basin. In coniunc-
tlon with this work the dock company
also contemplates erecting a building
for manufacturing purposes on the
vacant plot bounded by Inlay, Van
Brunt, Commerce and Browne streets.
According to the plans. 81 ,O0O, 900 will
be expended on the latter project
alone. This is the old site of the
Richardson & Boynton stove works,
a firm which abandoned Brooklyn
years ago.
While the full scope of the dock
company's plans could not be learned
1t is believed that the new building
will be similar to those put up by the
Bush Terminal Company on the Bay
Ridge water front.
1t Is understood that this is but the
first in ho Iirartipr 90 h., ;,,,
pcrtant Improvements mapped out by
the dock company. The greater por-
ton of the long rows of antiquated
warehouses surrounding Erie Basin
will gradually disappear and modern
buildings to meet the requirements of
present dav conditions will spring up
in their stead.
A year ago there was a rumor i'm
circulation in shipping circles that the
work of demolition was to begin then.
II has been learned on good authori-
ty that the company postponed oper-
ations then because the storehouses
on which they intended to begin CON
tanned large quantities of merchandise
in storage, which could not he con.
veniently transferred or otherwise
disposed of. That the work is to he
commenced shortly is evidenced by
the fact that preparations have been
made for the transferring the mer-
chandise now stored in the building
to other quarters.
The razing of the block in question
and the building operations which
will quickly follow will considerably
alter the landscape of the borders of
Erie Basin. During the rast year the
railroad business of the dock company
has grown to such proportions that
the somewhat cramped track facili-
ties have been found Inadequate to
handle the business offered. To over
come this difficulty, the company in
tends to extend its tracks to limit of
it's property. The proposed improve
ments. while under way and after
completion, will provide employment
for numbers of skilled and unskilled
men.

thorization to begin negotiations with
