J IN SOCIETY. \
ST. PATRICK’S ENTERTAINMENT.
A very artistic entertainment
was that given by Mrs. T. E.
Kelley and Miss Gertrude Mc
Comb at the former’s home Fri
day and was in the form of a St.
Patrick anniversary celebration.
The decorations were in St.
Patrick’s color—green, being
used with touches of white, the
colors being carried out in the
elegant lunch served.
Pretty favors of green were
distributed among the guests
just before the luncheon.
A pleasant feature of the even
ing was a guessing contest and
the rendering of a musical pro
gram both of which were much
enjoyed.
The guest list included Misses
Pearl Foushee, Hazel Jones, Miss
Odell, Miss Jordan, Mrs. C. E.
Crook. Messrs. Perry Clark,
C. J. Gates, Troy Adams and
C. E. Crook.
Bridges of Best Structure.

structed on a reinfoiced concrete
base, with the steel superstruct
ure of the best material. They
are built to carry the largest en
gines and the heaviest trains of
the Missouri Pacific at all rates
of speed in perfect safety.
The work on this line is mov
ing along as rapidly as the labor
situation will admit. Contractor
Clark oi Lebanon, Mo., is doing
the work and has a large fo ce
of men employed. It is thought
that trains will be running over
the entire line within ninety
days. The road is being laid
with 85 pound steel in order to
carry the heaviest traffic.
Dynamiting Fish.
It is reported that some parties
have recently been dynamiting
fish in White River down in the
vicinity of Wall’s lake. This is
a very had practice as it not only
destroys all the young fish, but
causes the larger ones which are
not killed to leave, and if ft is
not stopped the officers of the
law should look after the matter.

t DOCTOR MYERS DEAD.
9
Pior eer Pearl Buyer Succumbs to In
juries Caused by Vicious Horse.
Dr. J. H. Myers died a few
mil utes before noon Wednesday
from injuries received in falling
from a bridge on the road to
Portia last Friday morning says
the Black Rock Telephone. Fun
eral services, which are await
ing the arrival of a brother, Sam i
Myers, from Texas, will be held
here Saturday.
The accident which led to such
fatal results was a most remark
able one. Dr. Myers and his
eldest son, Vernon were crossing
in a buggy the long, high wagon
bridge just east of the home of
William Theis. The doctor’s
horse was notoriously dangerous,
and on this occasion it scared at
something, stopped in the cen
ter of the bridge, and suddenly
began backing. The buggy
struck the light railing of the
bridge, which gave way, and all'
went over including the horse.
The part of the bridge where
they tell is said by all who have i
examined it to be twenty feet
from the ground. Dr. Myers
ieil in the mua ana water, ana
and the horse fell by his side.
Vernon was more fortunate and
was little hurt, to which fact the j
doctor attributed his own rescue
from drowning. Vernon man
aged to pull his father out of the
mud and away from the horse’s j
heels. Mrs. Theis, whose home 1
is several hundred yards from
the scene, was the first person
there, and it is said that she car
ried the doctor to a more com- j
fortable place than she found
him. He was brought home at i
once, but was not moved further J
than the drug store, where he
died. Drs. Coffman and Mathes
found that the right thigh bone i
was broken in two or three places,
with a possible fracture at the
hip and some internal injury.
This part of his body received!
all the force of the fall. The
horse w as thought at first to
have broken several ribs, but
the last report of him makes his
injuries much lighter.

Established In forest Park of
Capitol City.
Little Rock, March 16.—Little
Rock is to have a city zoo.
Monday the animals arrived and
were placed upon exhibition at
Forest Park.
This announcement was made
by General Manager C. C. Simp

arge number of animals which

| CLOSING OF CAMPAIGN.
Survey of Situation Ten Days Before
Democratic Primaries Shows
Fever Heat.
Little Rock, March 17—The
democratic campaign in Arkan
sas will close on March 27, and
every day, Sundays excepted,
candidates will be on the stump
in every county in the state.
The contests for United States
j senator and for the governorship
j are the warmest that have been
waged in Arkansas for many
I years. During the last week of
I the campaign they will approach
a degree of warmth that may J
appropriately be designated as
red hot.
Some of the best orators in the
state, friends of the several can
didates for the two offices named,
will fill appointments in various
portions of the state during the
last week of the campaign.
Some of them will deliver two
speeches a day, one in the morn
ing and one in the afternoon.
Most of the work for Gov. Davis
by the volunteer campaigners
will be done in the northern part
of the state. Judge John S.
Little, candidate for governor,
will have speakers also in the
! northern tier of counties, and
J Attorney-General Robt. L. Rog
jerswill be represented, as will
in a manner which will anord
the best opportunity for viewing
them. Great wire houses, which
will inclose trees, will be built
for the squirrels, monkeys, rac
coons, eagles, owls, etc., where
they can have all the comforts
of free 1 fe, yet be out of the
reach of meddlesome hands. It
is the intention of the street rail
way company to establish a per
manent zoo at the park which
will prove a continuous attrac
tion for the people of the city.
Big Freight Business.
The amount of freight passing
over the White River branch oi
the Iron Mountain has grown s(
rapidly in the last few months
that the company has been com'
pelled to put on more cars anc
run the local trains on bettei
time, says the Batesville Guard,
The receipts for this point ar<
much larger than most peopk
would think, there being
from four to ten carloads of mer
chandise received each day. This
does not include the local freighi
received. Ten full cars for this
point was a part of the local’s
load yesterday for Batesville.
I. D. Price for flower sec !.
senator tferry in every county,
! where each has the slightest
| doubt as to the result, and where
they think oratorical efforts on
the part of their friends at the
eleventh hour will place counties
in their columns. No county
iduring the'week of the general
round-up of the campaign will
; be slighted. “Vote at the pri
mary and abide the result,” will
the shibboleth of the democratic
1 state central committee.
J _^ __
Railroad Business Good.
Traffic over the railroads thus
■ far in March has exceeded the
, estimates formed earlier in the
; year, high as they were. Two
. elements have combined to bring
about these results.
The first has been the weather.
The absence of severe storms
, has enabled the roads to handle
, a far larger volume of the traffic
■ than they otherwise could. The
. second contributory e'ement has
i been the threat of a general coal
; strike. That has brought such
i a movement on coal as has never
i been known since the months
immediately following the cessa
tion of the great anthracite strike
: of 1902.
