PROMINENT CITIZEN CONVICTED.
fine and Jail Sentence for Running a
Blind Tiger at Waldron.
Waldron, Feb. 22—The great
, est excitement prevails here to
day over the conviction of Ben
B. Estes, a prominent citizen, of
having sold liquor in defiance of
the law. After a trial here
which was bitterly fought Estes
has been found guilty and his
punishment fixed at a fine of
$200 arid sixty days in jail.
When the trial was called last
i
Tuesday the court room was
'filled with women, most of
j whom belonged to the local W.
j C. T. U.. There were also pres
| ent Mayor T. G. Bates and a
j number of prominent citizens,
j R. H. Estes, a half brother of
I the defendant, and one of the
l most highly respected citizens of
recently had a conversation with
Ben Este> and warned him to
give up the business of dealing
in liquor. To this he said that
the defendant replied that he
was in no danger as he had made
arrangements with town officials
by which he was to pay monthly
fines and be protected.
Constable T. L. Staner pro
duced at the trial three large
leases of whisky which he found
in the express office addressed to
'Estes. After the court had an
nounced its decision he ordered
the whiskey destroyed, which the
constable promptly did in the
court house square in the pres
ence of several hundred persons.

Little Rotk.
Little Rock, Feb. 22.-The St.
Louis & North Arkansas will
build an extension to this city.
This is settled by the reorganiza
tion of the company at St. Louis
yesterday. A committee com
posed of John Scullin, president
of the company, and Stockhold
ers David R. Francis, Robert S.
Brookings and R C. Kerens of
St. Louis, and Hon. Powell
Clayton, of Eureka Springs, Ar
kansas appointed last week for
the purpose, decided upon this
course. The plan of reorganiza
tion calls for the sale of the road
under foreclosure and will be re
purchased by the reorganization
committee. The St. Louis Union
Trust Company will finance the
deal.
IMPROVEMENTS.
The present plan, as outlined
by the reorganization committee
provides for the extension of the
road on the north from Seligman,!
Mo., to Joplin, Mo., by way of
Neosho. On the other end the
road is to be extended from
Leslie to Helena, the announce
ment of greatest interest to the
people of this city is that an ex
tension will be built here also.
These improvements are to cost
in the aggregate, $5,000,000 and
are to be commenced as soon as
the plans can be carried into
effect.

Revival Continues.
Another large congregation
greeted Mr. McIntosh at the
Methodist church Thursday even
ing and listened to an earnest
appeal by the speaker to the
unsaved.
Mr. McIntosh did not try to
preach as he was very tired, but
appealed pathetically to the un
saved of the congregation, to
not delay the day of salvation,
but to seek Christ then. A num
ber pledged themselves to lead a
better life, two uniting with the
Methodist church and two with
the Baptist.
The service for women in the
afternoon, was largely attended
and was one of the best services
of the entire meeting, and the

that ^ach heart had been touched
