IAWJiifi. EXPLOSION ESCAPED.
Basin Park Mote! Was Given Close. Call
from Boiler Explosion at Hands
©f Discharged Engineer.
Eufeka Springs, Nov. 6. —Dan
Barber was placed in jail Satur
day night charged with “mali
ciously attempting to destroy the
Basin Park hotel by exploding
the boiler of the heating plant."
Barber, who has been en
gineer of the big eight-story
stone hotel since the opening in
July, was discharged Saturday
evening, but remained on duty
while the new engineer was at
at supper. Mr. Cooper, who in
stalled the heating apparatus,
and who was a guest of the
hotel, observing the bulging and
and vibration of one of the radi
ators, hastened to the engine
room and discovered that the
water had been drawn from the
boilers and that an awful explo
sion was imminent. Barber had
left pie building and later was
found in bed, at home, by an
officer.
i Mason and Mason.
Thje famous comedians, Mason
and Mason in the big musical
^-n+itlorl Fritz and Snitz.
—
underthe management of Messrs.
Broalhurst and Currie, will be
seen at the opera house tonight.
It is heralded as one of the larg
est and most expensive produc
tions? of the season, as these well
I known stars are surrounded by a
company of sixty people. The
play is said to abound in fun from
start to finish, being also inter- j
spersed with many new and tune
ful musical gems. Not only is
the piece rewritten up to date
since last season, but the scenery'
and costumes are entirely new.
Mason and Mason are too promi
nent as metropolitan stars to re
quire any further commendation,
but the management desires to
impress that the chorus of show
girls is one of the best drilled
and most handsomely gowned of
any musical production before the
public. ' ____
Little’s Taffy Exposed.
The' sop Judge Little throws in
his speeches to the ‘ 'old boys who
wore the gray,” has a pleasing
sound—that is all. Now, taffy
doesn’t go at this stage of the
tame. Let the judge prove his
love for those old fellows by his
acts. Let him have the courage,
if he is not a creature of Jeff;
Davis’, to come out openly and1
above board for one of their num- J
her—gallant old one-legged Jim;
Berry. Then, what he says to j
the “old boys” might command1
aiueuuun aim vv in ^i.. ,
But until then his pretty words
and high-sounding phrases are
but as a tinkling cymbal of sound
ing brass, and go for naught.
No? judge; “he who is not for us
i, is against us,” and will be so
rated by every worthy ex-confed
erate.—Marianna Courier.
/The Mason and Mason company
arrived Tuesday noon from Jones
boro for their engagement to
night. They carry 35 people and j
it took a $300 guarantee to get j
them, but the advance sale prom- j
ises a crowded house to see their!
stellar attraction.

FARMERS’ UNION TO SELL COTTON.
Farmers’ Union, of Monroe County,
Will Offer One Thousand
Bales for Sale.
Clarendon, Nov. 6.—The Mon
roe County Farmers’ Union will
bring one thousand bales of cot
ton to Clarendon on Wednesday,
November 8, to be marketed on j
that day. This date has been1
adopted by the unions in many !
parts of the country for the dis
position of their col ton holdings, j
and if a fair price is not offered j
the Monroe county farmers de-j
clare they will haul their cotton I
back home.
It is stated that there will be
fifteen firms of cotton brokers
and spinners, in addition to local
buyers, represented on the streets
of Clarendon on the 8th, and no
doubt the bidding will be the sen^
sation of the season.
Local merchants who had an
ticipated a large cotton crop
and bought stocks of goods ac
cordingly, will take advantage of
the occasion by inaugurating big
reduction sales for that date.

son of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Car
ter, who was out driving with
other small boys Sunday after
noon, fell from the buggy on

APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE..
Fire Department Asks Public to Wait
Until Next Week for Whitney’s
Greater Show;..
The Newport Fire Department
several weeks ago, and prior to
the announcement of the coming
of any carnival company, con
tracted with Whitney's Greater
Shows for a street fair engage
ment here the week commencing
November 13, on terms that were
acceptable to the mayor, council
and county judge.
Subsequently another and com
paratively small amusement com
pany was allowed to contract to
have the week of November 6.
Such is a brief statement of how
two carnival companies visit our
city for two consecutive weeks, j
The fire boys are paying the
license of the shows next week,
and get a per cent of the re
ceipts. Whitney's Creater Shows j
to be here next week are far j
bigger and better than the pres- [
ent attractions. They number
ten big shows, six big free acts j
and carry the celebrated Jac-j
quinto Royal Italian band.
Among their high class per
formances are “Lotta” and

you perhaps saw on the “Pike.” j
Wait and get your money’s;

fire laddies. Spend your money
where it helps home people, and
also have the satisfaction of j
seeing the better shows and be
ing a part of the biggest crowds.
Yours respectfully,
J. R. Mayhan,
Chief of Fire Department.

Court at Batesvitle.
The probate court of Inde
pendence county convened Mon- j.
day, says the Batesville Guard,
and will remain in session until
Tuesday evening. The county;
court will convene Wednesday
morning. The two most import
ant matters to come before the i
county eourt are the petition to
dissolve Union Township and in
clude the territory in Stubbs
township, and the Hart habeas
corpus case. There will be a
remonstrance against the dis-;
solving of Union, and a hot legal j
fight will probably result.
In the circuit court Monday (
morning the jury returned a ver-1
diet for the defendant in the J
case of the Bank of Iowa City
vs. the Casey Drug Company,
and the ease of the Newport

“Fritz and Snitz” is the name
of the musical comedy in which
the eminent stars Mason and
Mason will entertain at the
Opera House Tuesday night. No- (
vember 7. The play, which is
in its second season, is under the
management of Messrs. Broad
hurst & Carrie, has been re
written up to date and contains
many catchy melodies, and is
most expensively mounted with
entirely new scenery and bright-;
ened by the exquisite gowns of j
the ladies of the company. Ma- j
son and Mason are supported by J
sixty people in this production,
and if advance reports may be j
taken as a criterion then it is j
one of the best musical comedies
organized in New York this sea
son. The chorus is said to be
exceptionally attractive with |
beautiful girls, who it is said re
ceive many encores for their
clever work. Besides Mason and
Mason there are many other
favorites in the large cast.
