Three recent decisions of the

We trust that interest in the
artesian well test has not abated.
Of course it will take time to get
nn enterprise of that kind, which
Is of some magnitude for Bates-
ville, into proper sffape. Several
non-resident owners of property
in the Leona valley have signifi-
ed their intention to subscribe
liberally to the xvel1 fund, pro-
vided a proper contract is made
and the well is located in the val-
ley, anywhere within three miles
of the town oLBatesville,
The beat evidence of the qual-
ity of Zavalla county as a stock-
raising and farming county is
found in the fact that the great
majority ot those who are so for-
tunate as to own real estate with-
in the county is not willing to
sell. Prices of all, kinds of land
of ranches and farms, large or
small, have advanced at least 50
per cent within the last year.
The county is in every way in a
prosperous condition and lias a
great future before it. Our home
people, as well as our non-resi-
dents, who own property here,
are beginning to realize this fact.
We learn that the present leg-
islature will pass an act chang-
ing the time of holding the terms
of District Court in the various
counties composing the 38th ju-
diciahdistrict. Under the pro-
visions of the bill Zavalla
county’s District Court will be
hold in April and October of each
year. But as the new law will
not take immediate effect, if will
not interfere with our coming
•luno term of Court, and we will
most likely have a term of dis-
trict court in both June and Oct-
ober of the present year.
DEAF ARE NEVER SEASICK.
Stomach Nerves Controlled by Those
of the Ear, Says Veteran Surgeon.
"Strange thing, but do you know
that deaf persons never can get sea-
sick” said an old surgeon in the em-
ploy of one of the trans-Atlantic lines
recently. "This was found out,” he
said, "when a whole class of deaf-
mutes went abroad some years ago
and despite a particularly rough pass-
age none of them wanted to lie on
the deck and beg somebody to heave
then, overhoard.
“That’s the seasick feeling, you
know. A little investigation proved
that the stomach nerves are mostly
controlled by those of the ear.and
that deaf persons are not nearly so
liable to the nausea that coi»es from
the rolling motion of a ship as are
others.
"The experiment of saturating a
ball of cotton with cocaine and thus
dulling the hearing has been tried by
ship surgeons since. It gives relief
to those who dread any sort of a sea
voyage, but, after all, the best way
to do is to ‘feed the fishes’ and get
over it.”
English Own Peruvian Roads.
The Peruvian railways have all been
consolidated. They are now controlled
and operated by an English syndicate.
Fatal Accidents in New York.
Persons are killed at the rate of one
for every day in the year in the New
York city streets by vehicles.
Incredible Brutality.
It would have been incredible brutal-
ity if C'iias. F. Lemberger, of Syracuse
N. Y., bad not done the best lie could
for his suffering son. “My boy.” lie
says, “cut a fearful gash over his eye
so I applied Bucklen's Arnica Salve,
which quick healed it and saved tiis
eye.” flood for burns and ulcers too.
Only 25c at all drug stores.
YOUR WATCH A COMPASS.
! No
Excuse for Losing Your Bearings
if You Have One.
“Most men who own a good watch,”
aid a jeweler, “think they know all
’bout it. They have the number fixed
n their memory in case it is stolen.
They could probably pick it out from
.fly o;her watches with their eyes
hut. But how many men know their
vatch is a compass and will tell north
rrom south as accurately as it will
el! the time of day? Stanley, the ex-
plorer, did not know it until lie had
groped his way through' the dark
•ontinent and met a Belgian sailor on
he coast. Every watch is a compass,
f you point the hour hand to the sun
the south i3 exactly halfway between
fhe hour and the figure XII on the dial.
Suppose, for instance, it is 4 o'clock.
Point the hand indicatirg 4 to the sun
and 11 on the watch is exactly south.
:f it is 8 o’clock, point the hand in-
denting 8 to the sun and the figure
X on the dial is due south. No man
need'get lost if he carries a watch.”
German Forests.
Forests cover nearly one fourth of
the surface of Germany—about 48,00b
square miles.
Chilean Nitrate Mines.
In the last twenty-five years Chile
realized about $300,000,000 from her ni-
trate mines. Senor Valdez Vergara
calculates that in the next twenty-
years the output of the nitrate mines
will exceed $450,000,000 in value.
Excitement Prevents Sleep.
Sound sleep cannot be obtained
when the mind or body is excited by
recent exercise. An intensely interest-
ing book, read up to the last moment,
frequently deprives the reader of
healthy sleep.
Old Custom Common in Belgium.
A turner’s workshop with large mo-
tive wheel and dog trained to turn it.
is advertised to be le. in the city of
I.iege, where- one-dog and two-dog
tilted carts and wagons are common.
Reputation Safe.
Beethoven, some biograpner tells ns,
used to werk generally in a beer gar-
den. However, that was before the day
of the phonograph and three-piece
Hungarian orchestra.

The Colonel's Waterloo.
Colonel John M. Fuller, of Honey
Grove, Texas, nearly met his Water-
loo, from Liver and Kidney trouble.
In a recent letter, lie says: “I was
nearly dead, of these complaints, and
although I tried my family doctor, he
did me no good; so I got a 50c bottle
of your great Electric Bitters, which
cured me. 1 consider the best meditjine

you the konwledge to make them.”

Promises Better Things Next Time.
We once hired a man to do a cer-
tain thing and he couldn’t do it. But
he spent hours In making explana
tions. If you fail to do a thing why
waste additional time in making ex-
planations? The point is. you didn't
do it.—Atchison Globe.
