HELP ENTERTAIN
 THE VETERANS
Whole State Has a Duty Let s Lend Hand In the Hos
 pitality.

Forty six years are numbered in the days that have passed since the memorable conflict which rent the North and South for four years of battle and con fiict and the men who wore the gray and the men who wore the blue are fast falling away. Tn this present year, it becomes the pleasure and opportunity of our state to welcome and entertain for three days May 10th, 17th and 18th the veterans who fought the cause of the South. It is our first and doubtless last chance to give honor and happi- ness of another national reunion to the veterans of our Southland, Years are decimating their numbers and the alaeady broken ranks can look forward to not a great many more of these heart and memory reviving occasions, when the old battle ground, the story of desperate charges and fighting in the trenches under a raking artillery fire, the brav- cry of their commanding officers, the valor of the soldiers, will all be recast in story and retold in the mingling of comrades once in arms.
 The state of Arkansas should feel that they are the hosts for this gathering and that our visi- tors are merely being entertain ed in our capital and largest city. Little Rock has responded we'll and generously It has done more. It has made provisions and regulations that bar the re- union from being made profitable and a graft to the hotels, board ing houses and restaurants of the city by fixing rates and charges for all services needed by the stranger within the city. In Jackson County, little finan- cial help, has as yet, been given
 and the Independent feels sure that it is not for lack of state pride or love of the old Confed-
 crate soldier, but rather because there has been no call made from

Walter Bonham, a brakeman running on one of the local freights, and some one at Syla- more had some kind of track et' at that station Tuesday evening and a warrant was is- sued for Bonham on the charge of assault with intent to kill. The constable followed the local to Mt. Olive and served the pa pers on the brakeman, who of fored to give bond for his ap- pearance for trial. The justice of the peace at Mt. Olive wanted to hear the case, then and there, but the train being ready to pull out, the brakeman boarded it and was lost to the officers who telephoned the constable at this place to arrest Bonham when the train arrived, but he was not to be found.

James H. Hawley and Attorney Cen

try of the interior and with the con-
Sressmen from this state.
This matter was taken up by the
legislature last winter and commit
tee was sent to Washington for the
purpose of inducing the government
officials to come to some satisfactory
agreement, but the matter was left
in the air and in view of the recent
test suit which has been filed i'm the
supreme court of the state, the trip
was yesterday decided upon.
The suit which was recently filed
in the supreme court was to test the
consttutionality of the recent legisla-
ton to the effect that the state has d
right to release their lands in gov
ernmeit reserves when these happen
to be sections 16 or SO and to select
others in their stead-Tribune.

Messrs. ThompsOns and Pyle have
more work contracted in Sterling
than fifty masons can do in a year.
Laborers are rushing in every day.
The semi-weekly BlacKfOot and
Aberdeen special train spends most
of its time loading and unloading on
the Sterling siding. Yuma, Otis and
Tilden now do business at Sterling.
Sterling has always paid her Gus

medicine men in grain and dairy
products, to philosophers, prophets

all professional classes in gold at fac

Credit for this great move in behalf
of the old man must be given to Mrs.
J. b. DOdd of Spokane, Wash. The
Boise Statesman gives the following
account of her efforts in :his iirec-
ton:
There is a strong likelihood Tat the
third Sunday of every June will be
nationally observed as Fathers
day and special sermons will be
preached in honor of the man who
daily sets his face to the world with
smile, foregoing the pleasure OF the
company of his little ones during the
long DAY and contented that he is
giving them the best that his labors
can produce. To Mrs. J. B. DOdd OF
Spokane is due the credit for origin
ating Fathers day. and Last year
it was fittingly observed in that city
by the wearing of a rose, while spec
ial sermons for fathers were preach
ed from nearly every pulpit I'm the
city. So successful was the day that
national campaign for its OBJ
servance has been started which is
likely to bear fruit.
