ROCKEFELLER’S
BAD MEMORY
New York, Nov. 27.—Before John D. Rockefeller left the wit
ness stand today he said that he owned stock in the Delaware &
Lackawana, New York Central, Western Maryland, Pennsylvania
Central, Missouri Pacific, Texas Pacific, Erie, Colorado & South
ern, and also some railroads in Mexico the names of which he had
forgotten. Besides the stock which he owns in these railroads, he
said he owns bonds which had been issued by many other roads,
the name of which he could not at present recall. When questioned
as to the distribation of the Standard Oil shares, he said he was
willing to admit to the ownership of all he has, but stated that he
didn’t know how many that was as his memory was failing him.
DEADLY TORNADO
IN OLD
Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 27.—Fifty dead and one hundred in
jured is the result of a tornado which swept over this city last
Wednesday night. The storm was the worst in years, and swept
everything away that was in its path. All telegraph and telephone
wires were broken, railroads were disabled, and the citjT was iso
lated from the world for some time. Relief trains from the sur
rounding country entered the city as soon as it was possible and
relieved the distress which was caused by the great destruction.
The property which was destroyed is estimated to have been
worth about $1,500,000.

KIMONO BALL WAS
GORGEOUS AFFAIR
The kimono ball held Thursday
night in this city was probably
the most elaborate social event
in the history of Hot Springs.
The hall was elaborately deco
rated for the occasion with ever
green stringers, Japanese' lan
terns and a profusion of crysan
themums and Japanese flags. In
the center of the hall was a large
Japanese parasol, from which all
the stringers radiated. Inter
mingled with the green were
many streamers of colored crepe
paper, which together with the
numerous electric lights, made a
beautiful effect. It was not com
plete, however, until the ladies in
their multi-coloi*ed kimonos, and
the men eaeh with a large crys
anthemum in his buttonhole, be
gan to move about the hall in the
mazes of the waltz that the pic
ture was complete. Every lady
present, except a few spectators,
had on a kimono, and no two
were alike, and the brightest
colors intermingling and passing
to and fro created a long to be
remembered picture.
The hall was crowded with peo
ple of the city and visitors from
the surrounding creeks, and all
seemed intent upon having a
good time and succeeded in their
endeavor. . >v
One of the most pleasing feat
ures of the evening were the cos
tumes of the children. All the
little girls had kimonos made for
the occasion, and little Carlisle
Nellany made the hit of the even
ing when he appeared upon the
floor dressed in the costume of a
Chinese boy.
j * Punch was served in the ball
room, and tea was poured in the
tearoom during the entire even
ing.
It was not until early in the
morning that the people left the
hall, which they did then with
regret. _
Herman York arrived from Chena
this week, and is registered at the
Stanley house.
Thanksgiving Day
Splendidly Enjoyed
Thanksgiving day the city was
filled with miners from the sur
rounding creeks who had read
the bills of fare for the diftei ent
restaurants in The Post of last
week, and considered the dinners
offered well worth the walk to
town. All day long they came
stringing in, singly and in coup
les, until the city presented the
most active appearance since the
close of navigation. Sullivan,
Cooney, Killarney, Kemperville,
and, in fact, all the creeks sent
their quota to get the big feed
j and enjoy the kimono dance.
The many mushers from Chena
and Fairbanks had made ar
rangements whereby they were
able to be here on Thursday, and
even Cow Miller got here in time
for the turkey.
Rverybody enjoyed themselves
and were well satisfied with the
good things that were provided
to satisfy their annual appetite
for turkey._
Lots of new magazines at Heins’.
Keep Your Eye on
Killarney Creek
Killarney creek looks more
like a winner every day, and
property on that stream is now
being placed at a high value.
The reason for the good feeling
of the Killarney creek property'
owners is due to the good show
ing of the ground belonging to
Miller & Reynolds, where pay
was struck several months ago."
Immediately after the pay was
located these men found it neces
sary to do work on some other
ground they owned in that vicin
ity, so did not prospect further.
About a week ago they again
started work in the first hole and
have now crosscut the pay a dis
Camp Hot Springs j

By the last outside mail Camp Hot
Springs No. 24, A.B., received from the
grand camp its oujfit of rituals and j
stationery for the various officers of the j
lodge, and now that all the parapher- !

has been procured, the camp is how '
nicely equipped. An interesting meet
ing was held last Monday, and much
accumulated business was disposed of.
George L. Morrison was elected to

ber. The brothers are much elated
over the success of their first social

Geo. L. Morrison mixed things up
with a pile of boxes containing dried
fruit Tuesday evening in his ware
house and came out second best. The
boxes just simply fell all over George,
and when they got through with him
he was fit subject for a hospital. How

feet of dirt that will run a good

tance. As they drift towards the
creek the pay gets better, and it
looks as though Killarney will
surely be a good one.
Miller & Reynolds will continue
work on this ground now until
they have found out exactly how
wide and extensive the paystreak
is. The fact that the pay has
shown up so good on this ground
has encouraged others on the
creek, and work will now be
pushed with greater vigor than
before. _
Get the habit, go to H&ins’.
A GHENA SPIRIT
A late arrival from Fairbanks says
that a few days before he left that city
he was making a trip to the creeks on
the morning train of the T. V. railway,
and as the cars were leaving the Junc
tion a resident of the headofnavigation
rushed into the smoking car and ex
claimed: .
“A ‘lady in the back coach has
fainted! Who has any whisky?’,
In much less time than it takes tc
tell it, at least six quart bottles ol
cemetery-promoter were eagerly ex
tended by passengers. The Chenese
grasped the nearest one, uncorked it,
took a “slug” of about four-fingers, re*
Corked it, and gently handing the flask
back to the donator, remarked:
“Thanks, stranger; it always does
make me sort o’ thirsty to see a lady in
distress.” ,
WANTED TO KNOW
One of Hot Springs’ little tots of 3
years was recently visiting with a
neighbor lady, to whom she said:
“Where is your mamma at?”
“My mamma,” replied the lady
rather slow and sadly, “is up in heav
en. ”
The little one, after gating upwards
for few moments remarked, “How did
she get up there?”

CUING
San Francisco, Nov. 27.—Prince Tsaitiu, a nephew of the late
Empress of China, who is at present in this country to represent
his government regarding the Boxer indemnity, received a mes
sage from Pekin today stating that his father, Prince Ching, who
was reported to have died at the same time as the Emperor, is
still alive.
Prince Ching is a high official in the government, and was
very close to the Emperor. At the time that poison was adminis
tered to the Dowager Empress and the Emperor, some was also
given to Prince Ching. The latter, however, called in several
American physicians, and it was owing to their skill that he es
caped death.
Prince Tsaitui is much relieved by the news of his father’s es
cape, and is very grateful to the physicians who saved him from
death. He says that there is a clique at work in the court at Pekin
who was endeavoring to overthrow the present dynasty, but says
their efforts will prove futile.

Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 20.—The returns of the official count for
Kentucky gives Bryan 244,000, and Taft 235,000. While the plu
rality for Bryan is not as large as was expected by the Democrats,
yet in view of the great Republican victories elsewhere, it has
proved a source of satisfaction to them.
Mrs. Georgians Sampson was arrested last Monday at Roch

that the deceased had committed suicide. Mrs. Sampson is pros
