TROOPS’ FAREWELL
TO HOT SPRINGS.
Seven Guardsmen Out of 1700 On Sick
List at Close of Week’s Encamp
ment-Much Praise for Hospi
tality|of Hot Springs.
Hot Springs, Sept. 14.—Five trains
loaded with militiamen pulled out of
the two stations here yesterday after
noon. The scene was an animated
one. The trains pulled out with a
parting salute of guns and the boys
singing “What’s the matter with Hot
Springs? She’s all right.”
The state troops had a very strenu
ous week of their encampment, but
notwithstanding the hard work re
quired of them they all enjoyed their
stay in the Valley of Vapors and a
large number expressed themselves as
hoping that the state guard would
meet here again.
Out of the 1,700 troops only seven
were sick at the wind-up and two of
these were taken home in the baggage
car, while the other five whose condi
tion was more serious were placed in
the army and navy hospital for treat
ment, it being inadvisable for them to
travel on the train.
The two guardsmen who were taken
home on stretchers were Privates
Merce Sligh and Frank McCollow of
Uiti jriiit) Diuii uumpemv, wuu vvcic
suffering from bilious attacks.
The names of the five guardsmen
now in the army and havy hospital
are Eugene House, company H, First
regiment, Newark; John T. Brockford,
company D, Third regiment, Black
Rock; John R. Hartshaw, company
B, First regiment, Beebe; Tom Trice,
company F, First regiment, Jones.
boro; James Tharp, company H, First
regiment, Newark. All the patients
were reported as doing nicely this
evening.
Capt. Boles of the Seventh infantry,
U. S. A., and Lieut. Moore of the
Twenty-seventh infantry, U. S. A.,
will leave tomorrow for their re
spective stations. Capt. Boles will
return to Fort Leavenworth, Kan.,
and Lieut. Moore to Texarkana, from
where he will proceed in a short time
to the Philippines. They carry away
with them the highest regard of the
A. S. G. and all citizens with whom
they came in contact.
Gen. Haynes and staff returned to
their homes today. They were loud
in their praise of the hospitality of the
people of Hot Springs.
At a meeting of the officers of the
Arkansas state guard a committee
was appointed to draft resolutions ex
pressing the sense of the guard re
garding the encampment. The reso
lutions return thanks to Gen. Haynes
“ for the splendid service he has ren
dered in organizing the guard and the
able manner in which the encamp
ment has been conducted under his
supervision.” Thanks are expressed
to Gen. B. VV. Green, Capt. Boles and
Lieuts. Todd and Moore, U. S. A., and
others, and also to the mayor and
citizens of Hot Springs.

RAILROAD COMPANY
WILL HAVE AGENTS.
Repetition of Eldorado Frauds Will
Be Prevented By Placing of
Agents at Every Com
press Point.
It is learned from reliable authority
that tifc.Iron Mountain Railroad Com
pany wt%place an agent at each cot
ton compress point in the state who
will receive and sign the cotton de
livered on compress property. The
compress company will be required to
give an indemnity bond to the rail
road company and the superintendent
of eachcompresswill be made the agent
of the railroad company as well. As
soon as the cotton is received on the
compress property the railroad agent
will give a certificate that the cotton
is in possession of the railroad com
pany, and on this certificate the cot
ton buyer or shipper can secure a bill
of lading. This method will make it
impossible to “kite” receipts or prac
tice fraud, and will protect all parties
interested, from the country shipper
to the receiver of the cotton at the
final point of destination, whether it
be at a milling point or a foreign
port. This regulation has been
brought about by the experience of
the railroad companies in the gigantic
frauds recently perpetrated at Eldo
rado, which resulted in the failure of
the Alphin-Lake Company, the Bank
of Little Rock, the Bank of Eldorado,
and a loss of nearly #200,000 to the
railroad companies, besides individual
losses that can never be scheduled.
The new rules will be made effective
as soon as some of the minor details
can be arranged, and when once fully
understood by shippers, receivers and
the general public, will be tytdLgomed
as a happy solution of the hitherto
question of the proper handling of
cotton by the railroads. All roads
will practically adopt the same
method, with a few minor differences.
