Easy Mosquito Killer.
This timely bit of information
is copied from the Public Health
Journal of New York and should
be authentic:
Permanganate of potassium is
■ a cheap and simple preparation
| that will destroy mosquitoes in
their development.
A single handful of it will oxi
dize a ten-acre swamp; kill all
the embryo insects and keep it
free from organic matter for
thirty years at a cost of not over
thirty cents. A single pinch of
it will kill all the germs in a
1,000-gallon tank. One pint of
permanganate of potassium in
175 of water distributed through
out mosquito marshes and
swamps would render it impossi
ble for the larvae to develop.
TWICE TOLD TALE
Newport Took Second Game f rom Mis
souri Champions Thursday
Afternoon.
The winds have shifted, the
tide has turned, or something
else like this has happened, for
it looks like Newport is going to
win the wnole series, just as Pop
lar Bluff was hoggish enough to
do a few weeks previous.
On Thursday .afternoon, New
port bagged the second game,
making it two straights, hammer
ing out eight runs, while Poplar
Bluff scored three. That $6 pair
of shoes hung out by the Bailey
Mercantile Company all season,
as well as a $1,000 life insurance
policy Dy rt. r>ragg, were
brought down by Emery. He
didn’t put the ball over the fence,
but he put it away over the head
of the outfielder, and did some
tall sprinting.
For Newport Russell and Aus
tell did the battery work and
Brockewitz and Grey were in the
points for the visitors.

PRESIDENT MAY MAKE TRIP.
Yellow Fever Does Not Seem to Bluff
Him and Will Probably
Visit Arkansas.
_
Little Rock, Aug. 24.—While
no word has been received in
this city as to whether President
Roosevelt will carry out his plans
for his Southern trip, in spite of
the yellow fever situation, it is.
believed that he will come to Lit
tle Rock if he goes to Mobile.
It has been reported from
Washington that the president
would probably postpone his
Southern trip on account of the
prevalence of yellow fever at j
New Orleans. .
It has been stated that he
would probably visit the south
Atlantic states, as originally j
planned, but would postpone his
visit to the southwest until a
later time.
No direct information has come
from the president, however,
and it is now believed that he
will visit Little Rock as originally
planned.
Using Arkansas Stone.
A contract has been given to
the Pfeiffer Stone Company by
the United States government,
says the Batesville Guard, to fur
nish stone for use in the con
struction of the better class of
work in the new prison being
built at Fort Leavenworth, Kan
sas. The contract will require
at least 350 cars of stone, which
! will be shipped in the rough and
dressed there as needed. This
stone was selected by the gov
| ernment’s experts over Bedford
and other well-dnown building
stones because of its beauty and
' other superior qualities.

Sfatc Board of Health and State Guarc
Officers Still Quarreling With No
Prospect of Settlement.
Little Rock, Aug. 24. —The
friction between the state guard
and the state board of health,
caused by the refusal of the
board to permit the officers of
the Arkansas state guard tc
write health certificates, shows
no signs of adjustment, and wil
probably result in wholesale
resignations shortly.
The board having refused tc
consider the application insisted
upon by Maj.-Gen. Haynes and
other officers, an appeal was
made to the governor for the ap
pointment of Dr. Eugene Abing
ton of Beebe, an officer of the
guard, as a member of the state
board of health.
This appointment was made b>
Charles Jacobson, private secre
tary to the governor, in the lat
ter’s absence, but, it, is said,
with his knowledge and ap
proval. Jt was claimed tha1
there was a vacancy on the
board, but this is denied by Dr.
G. M. D. Cantrell, who declares
that not only is there no vacan
cy, but that it is a move simply
to thwart the a4|fons of the board
of health.
RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
ParagouSd to Newport.
According to the Paragoulc
Soliphone there are rumors of £
new railroad from Paragould tc
Newport, to be projected bi
Paragould capitalists. A pre
liminary survey of the proposed
route is to be made right soon:
and if a right of way can be se
cured the prospects of the roac
being built are encouraging.
Just yet the parties interestec
are avoiding publicity and nc
definite information regarding
their plans can be had. They dc
not care to talk right now, bul
a surveyor has been employee
and it is learned upon good au
thority that he will start a pre
liminary survey the latter pari
of this week.
Paragould needs most of all £
western outlet, and a route tc
Newport would largely supplj
the “missing link” to Paragould’s
railroad facilities.
Work is Being Pushed.
Ex-Mayor Duley of Little Rock
who is engaged in the railroac
service with headquarters at
Cotter, spent Monday night ir
Batesville on his return to Cot
ter from a trip through to Car
thage, coming by the Frisco by
Hoxie, says the Batesville News.
He reports rapid progress with
the work of construction since
the rains ceased, and that with
favorable weather trains will be
running the entire line in a few
weeks. Mr. Duley is pleased
with his work at Cotter, and
says his family is also wel
pleased with their residence
there.__
