PET DOfi CAUSES ALARM
X. T. toach and Daughter Nellamena
Bitten By Puppy—Go to St.
Louis for Treatment.
Mr. Ed T. Roach and little daugh
ter Nellamena. left for St.Louis Satur
day afternoon, taking with them the
head of the little girl's pet dog. They
are going for the purpose of having
thd head examined to determine if the
dog was suffering with hydrophobia
and If such is found to be the case Mr.
Roach and Nellamena will take the
Pasteur treatment.
Nellamena for several months has
had two bird puppies for pets. Tues
day and of the pups acted strangely,
snapping and biting at its mate and
before it could be confined, bit Mr.
Roach on the cheek and Nellamena
on the hand. The bites were only
scratches, but as the dog continued to
be vicious, repeatedly breaking out
and biting other dogs, it was killed
Saturday and Mr. Roach decided
to go to the Pasteur institute
in St. Louis. They are taking the
dog's head with them and will have
it examined. If signs of rabies are
found Mr. Roach and Nellamena will

found to be a positive preventative for
the effect of a mad dog bite.

Stakes Its All on Supreme Court De<
clsion—Case to Be Argued Next
Week.
Washington, Mar. 30.—The tight
over the removal of the capital of
Oklahoma from Guthrie to Oklahoma
City began In earnest in the supreme
court of the United States when
Guthrie's claim was presented to the
court In a printed brief. Hoth sides
are to argue the case orally next
week.
The six lawyers appearing lor
Guthrie contend in the brief that the
act of the Oklahoma legislature re
moving the capital from Guthrie Is
unconstitutional because the enabling
act of congress under which the state
was admitted to the Union, provided
that the capttal should remain at
Guthrie until 1913. They deny that
the legislature had power to make
null and void the capital provision in
the enabling act
"If the decision of the supreme
court of Oklahoma declaring the pro
vision of the enabling act null and
void is sound,” they say. "then it
must follow that the people of the
state of Utah ara not bound by their
solemn campact that, they will for
ever prohibit polygamy in that state.

“MENA SPR1N6S"
“The Bride of the Oearki.”
A good thing—push it on.
It is customary to name things ac
cording to worth.
What is Mena’s worth? Her merit*
Pure springs, crystal streams, bab
ling brooks fanned to purity by moun
tain breezes. “Mena Springs."
If Mena had no other merit than
her springs, pure streams and her
green decked mountains and ravines,
she would hold in her embrace great
ness. Hundreds of cities, wealthy
ami large, are so because for only
three or four months the long year
they hold for the seeker pure water
and refreshing air. We have their
greatness for lour times three months,
for the long, happy year, and right
here in the heart of the demand, in
calling distance of the hot, sweltering
Southland and the cold North, the
windy, wasted West and the over
crowded East.
What is your first question to the
amazed stranger? Have you seen
nature’s park? Have you drank deep
and long from “the spring?” You say
you have reached Dreamland, but
wait till you gaze down deep in that
crystal spring, drink of its pure life
and then you will cry out in the glad
ness of the discoverers of old "Eureka,
the fountain of youth, the Queen oi
theOzarks.” And this is but one
joy of the thousands to be discovered
in silent nooks and amidst the vine
clad hills, forgotten by us slow folks.
Don’t you remember when you first
came to Mena, how you, Sunday
after Sunday, (and you thought the
Sundays so far apart) roamed through
the dales and over the green hills;
how you, UKe a delighted child, went
down on your knees, dug among the
ferns and green leaves to find the
hidden source of a rippling stream
nnd drank from the fountain which
you, feeling like a great discoverer,
had found? We so easily forget.
No, it is thoughtlessness. Try to tear
us away from ‘‘Mena Springs" and
how we cry out! We may go, but the
fascination draws us back. Thousands
are looking for just what we are neg
lecting. How often they look over
the railroad folder to find us. They
find Siloam Springs, Eureka Springs,
Sulphur Springs, and often on their
way to Mona the very fascination ol
the word “Springs" on the folder
lorces them to forget the “Queen ol
the Ozarks."
It is only when we come in contact
with the man of means, ready to
enjoy life, who have lived where
water is bad, (in half of the U. S. it is
bad) where the heat is teriffic or the
the cold is bitter, that we understand
their joy when they find pure water
here amidst the other grandeurs of
the Ozarks. Even a farmer con
siders a spring or a pure stream, as
one declared, an additional valuation
to a farm of at least $500.
We believe that the park (and how
little it has cost us) is the fountain
head of half of Mena’s wealth. Why
are you here? Why are all these
prosperous people here? Sometime
we will awake, and we will see the
park spring adorned, at a cost of
thousands of dollars, with the grandeur
and coolness of concrete. You will
be able to find the other many springs
in and around Mena by following
flower-bedecked winding paths and
drives. Moneyed men and women
have found a strength and health at
these God given fountains, which
wealth could not buy.
“Mena Springs," the war cry for a
population of ten thousand.
"One of the Ten Thousand.”
Don’t Give Dp Advantages Already Won
Shall we change the name of Mena?
Think what this change would mean.
How long it would take the world at
large to realize that "Mena Springs”
was one and the same as “Mena"—
the place boasting of so many advant
ages?—would people not associate this
new name with Mill Springs, Bethesda
Springs, Bogg Springs and other places
consisting of aspring, store, postoffice,
blacksmith shop and severnl hundred
inhabitants? Let’s not run the risk of
losing for one precious moment the
identity we have labored for fourteen
years to establish, but, using this fora
basis, all work together, and at the
end of the next fourteen years our
city will rank among the first, and the
name "Mena", made dearer by long
association, will be suggestive of many
things.
Viewing the change in a matrimo
nial light, as our worthy contributor of
March 22 did, do you not think that
our fair Mena is of too tender years to
consider such a step? And supposing
she did, would she not, like the ac
tress who had already gained renown,
retain her maiden name for fear of
losing her identity, and, so. have to
begin all over again? J. P.
Merely a Suggestion.
There seems to be a disposition on
the part of some to change the name
of our city to “Mena Springs’’—the
idea put forth being that the addition
to the name would add attraction—
pulling power—to our city.
It is possible that some slight ad
vantage might be gained by the change,
but I think, considering the disadvant
ages of the longer name, and the fact
that Mena is widely known by its
present title, it is of doubtful expedi
ency. The word “Springs’’is attached
to some hundreds of places, from
mere water holes hv the roadside u> a
few more important resorts—and some
of the greatest watering resorts of the
world are not known as "springs’'.
But here’s a suggestion that possib
! ly will give Mena all the advantages of
the word springs, with none of the
! disadvantages of a direct change of
! name—a change that at least is dis
tasteful to some.
One of the greatest, if not the great
iest, collection of springs in the moun
j tain region is three miles from Mena

And ail things are the best things—

Of every hue and shade.

With geraniums, ferns and pansies
And palms that premiums draw,
While violets with fragrance

And of the rarest hue;

That Adam ever knew,
And so plenteous and so perfect
They fill the earth with awe—
Aye, all things are the best things
Out here in Arkansas.
Here are granite mounts, and gold

At least we hope there are—
And coal beds, without bottom,
Outstretching broad and far;
Here are gems of pearl and diamond—
Without blemish, fault or flaw:
And these but few the treasures
Out here in Arkansas.
Here are rice fields, fine and fertile.
