THE LOWBOY 1SFOUM)
B. F. Cash i j [ows Light on Ttys
terious Bisappearance of
a Newark Boy.
To the Editor of r*die Journal.
I saw in a recent issue of your
valuable paper where a fellow,
writing under the nom do plume
of “Hot StiilT,” undertook to give
a very minute description of a dis
tinguished gentleman whom he
termed “a lost boy.” But as he
has exagerated so and used so
many absurdities, I will describe
him more correctly. As 1 urn a
resident of the magnificent city of
Syringu, a city of 65,000 inhabi
tants, I think 1 know the young
man to whom he alludes.
The illustrious gentleman was
born and reared in the grand old
state of Arkansas, and rose from
a very humble station in life. But
by indomitable pluck, incessant la
bor and a firm determination, he
has ascended to the extreme sum
mit of fame.
This noted gentleman moved in
to our proud city a short time ago.
lie is the leading figure in the cir
cle of society of this cit,\. Of vig
orous mind, incorruptible honesty
and lofty patriotism, he is idolized
by the whole city. On the account
of his oratorical powers, he is call
ed “The Silver Tongued Orator of
Texas.” He has secured the prin
eipalship of The Sam Houston
Normal of this city, lie makes a
special business of training young
doctors, lawyers, teachers and
other professional men and receives
u neat, hide salary of *s50 per
month. Almost every family in
the city has one of his portraits
hanging on the wall. I'iiey prize
it as a most sacred -ouvvnir, and
in ever.\ library, is included a copy
of his biography.
His private office is at the Clar
endon Hotel, where he receives
distinguished men from New York,
C hicago, St. Louis, Newark and
other cities. He is located on
North Street, is on the !6th floor
and the number ol his room is t'.vf.
Telephone number 7-7. Any one
desiring information, concerning
his work, send for his 1 tlb. 10.uoo
page catalogue. On .special occa
sions you will see him gorgeously
arrayed in his extraordinary habil
iment, though he is plain and
posseses no aristocracy, lie con
templates moving to Arkansas in
the near future, which will be an
irreparable loss to the city of Sy
ringa, but will be Arkansas’ gain.

of Hot Stuff, is also an Arkansas
boy, who left there some time ago.
Me went to Texas, to accumulate
a fortune, but has been sadly dis
appointed, and now is home-sick,
heart broken, financially broken,
is wrecked both morally and men
tally, is in a hypochondriacal state
of despondency, and at different
intervals of time is seriously at
tacked with the grave malady
known as delirium tremens, and
as he is so unfortunate as not to be
able, to get back home, he resorts
to the bottle to drown his troubles.
Me gulps down the Hot Stuff and
I during his spells of hallucination
! he is not his real self, and imagines
his name is Hot Stuff, and has
suicidal thoughts, lb* lives oil in
a secluded place, and almost in to
tal obscurity; you can tell from
his writing, that his chief occupa
tion is hunting, and the reason he
| is offering a reward for the recov
ery of that “Lost Boy," he thinks,
probably he might borrow st or s;>
and by walking a great deal,would
be able to return home. But I
I think that would ben very meager
reward, as he has only a dozen
j coon hides exclusive of his pants,
shirt, and eap which are made of
the same material. But this “Lost
Boy,'’ from his daz/.leing spire,
does not look down on him in his
benighted state of pauperism and
'lolidity, withdisdnin or reproach,
; but with pity and -compassion. He
has a noble hearted woman and
three children and any assistance
rendered them in their deplorable
condition, will be appreciated by
them.

Rules to Observe.
When going into a printing of
fice always observe the following
! rules, which will hereafter be
found posted conspicuously in our
office.
Look over the compositor’s
shoulder and read his copy and
'ask a lot of foolish questions; walk
up to a type case and pick up type
and put them in th * wrong boxes;
bump your elbow against a galley
and pie a column of type; quietly
sit on the composing stone and
amuse yourself fingering at the
forms and wondering why they
fall over so easy and walk out
without subscribing and wonder
why you were not asked to call
again.—Exchange.

The farmer who complains that
the squealing of the hogs in the

should reflect a little and perhaps
lie will conclude that if he had to

to struggle to get under another
hog like himself, he would squeal

i warm bed in a comfortable house

that he is the shabbiest%iog of the

Country Polks.
A Missouri editor imagines that
eit.v folks do not adequately aje
preciate the intellectuality of coun
try folks, and he takes pains, in a
recent issue of his paper, to dispel
some of the illusions he thinks ex
ist regarding1 country folks.
"We country folks,” he de
clares, “talk other subjects than
polities. Our eit.v friends have al
ways thought ditFerently. They
seize the unsuspecting visitor from
the backwoods and pump him dry
on political themes. M ho is Boone
county's choice for governor?
What do you think of Stone? What
is the legislaturegoingtodo? What
about the next president? And sc
on to the end of tin* chapter.
“We are not very learned folk
nor are we profound philosophers,
but we occasionally talk about
other things not political and some
times think about them, too. Foi
instance we discuss crops. The
dwellers in tall houses in towns
and the wearers of purple and line
linen don't know much about crops,
save in a speculative way. They
smile a little occasionally when
wheat and corn and grass are men
tioned. But they are even mort
dependedt upon the success or fail
ure of crops than the farmer him
self. Then we talk religion, not
altogether on Sunday either. There
are a few yet left in the rural dis
tricts who believe in old-time reli
gion and the old-fashioned, unre
\
\ ised Bible. Absurd as this state
ment may seem, we debate econo
mic questions occasionally and
even converse about books, novels,
poems and histories. Business is a
topic of some interest, but we do
not place it ahead of everything
else in this world and the next. It
j is true that in this we are out of
line with many of our city friends.
We are sorry for it that we have
not learned better.
“Why, bless your souls, city
friends, you are mistaken when
you regard the rural roosters as
ignoramuses on all subjects save
politics and gabby cranks on that.
\\ e have time to think and read.
The average countrymen talks in
telligently upon several topics, In
these times, when there is a print
, ing press in every hamlet and a
j school on every hillside, rural mail
delivery and the atl-embracing
telephone, the rural rooster is
learning faster than his fine-feath
ered brother of the city barnyard.’
Death Claims Governor Fishback.
Fort Smith, Feb. 9. Without
regaining at any time like complete
consciousness since he was com
pelled to take to his bed, ex-Gov
ernor Fishback died this morning
at 11 o’clock at his home in this
city at tin' age of 72. Four child
ren, constituting his entire family,
and his immediate relatives were
at his bedside. At 10 o'clock there
was no apparent change in his con
dition. but when the attending
physician made his call he saw
t hat death was at hand ami notified
the children and immediate rela
tives, who have been at the house
for several days awaiting the end.
Tlier * were no deathbed incidents,
lie simply passed from unconsei
ousnes- almost imperceptibly into
death. There was a smile on his
face, ns though transition had been
most pleasant. At no time during
his illness did he sutler any pain.
The approach of the disease was
most gradual.
Mayor Hawkins Attacked.
Morrilton, Feb. 9. -Mayor N.
E. Hawkins of this city lies at his
home in a critical condition as a
result of ;t brutal attack upon him
by an unknown person about 1 o'
clock Monday morning. He was
called out to his gate by some one
and left the house without his wife
knowing where lie had gone.
When iiis son went to the barn
yesterday morning to feed the
stock he found that his father had
been beaten and left in the barn
with tlie door closed. Fpon ex
amination it was found that both
arms were broken near the wrist
joints, an ugly gash was cut ovei
his right eye and also on top ol
the head. Mr. Hawkins regained
consciousness once since being
found and told his wife that some
one had his purse and was gone.
His purse and all the money he Inn
are missing. The object of the
attack, it is .supposed, was robbery.

“I feel it is my duty to let you know that
your medicines have cured my little girl of
nine,of spasms. She commenced having them
at the age of three. Our family doctor said
the would outgrow them but she did not.
We took her to another physician who said
her trouble was epileptic tits in a mild form.
He did her no good either. She was so
nervous she could hardly walk. As I had
already used Dr. Miles’ Nervine and found
it a good remedy for myseif I commenced
riving it to my child. I gave her in all ten
battles of the Nervine and one of the Blood
Purifier. That was over two years ago ami
she has not had an attack since we com
menced the treatment. She is no loidfer
troubled with nervousness and we cor.drder
her permanently cured. I enclose her pic
ture. My mother-in-iaw lost her reason, and
was insane for three months from the effects
of l.aGrippe. Six bottles of Dr. files’ Ner
