I WHITE RIVER ROUTE
TO BE TRUNK LINE.
Iron Mountain Rushing Work on
White River Route—Trains Run
ning Through In Six Months—
Development of Rich Min
'ing and Agricultural
Sections.
Pittsburg, Kans., June 22.—In less
than six months, it is believed by
those who seem to be next, that the
Missouri Pacific railway company will
have trains running on a new line now
being constructed between Memphis
and Topeka. It is estimated that over
3,000 men are now at work upon the
construction between the two points
upon.gaps between the terminus of
roads owned by the Goulds.
The White River line will have two
large steel bridges each costing in ex
cess of §200,000. One will be over the
White river at Cotter. The other will
span the North Fork of the White
river at Devero, about thirty miles
south of Cotter. Work is in progress
on both at this time. The Devero
bridge is nearing completion. A
temporary trestle now spans the
north fork, and is used by construc
tion trains that are running as far at
Buffalo City.
Trains will probably be running into
this city from Carthage by September
15th and from here they will run to
Fort Scott by the way of Cornell.
Yale and Englevale, and from Fort
Scott the road will go to Topeka over
the K., N. and D. division of the Mis
souri Pacific. The White River line,
which is well on towards completion
into uarcnage, connects wuu anotnei
new line into Memphis. When the
entire line is completed it will become
naturally one of the best main lines
in the country and the highways con
necting Kansas, its farms and coa!
fields, with* the mining, timber and
cotton lands in Southwest Missouri
and Arkansas. No other railroad in
the country will be able to boast oi
more diversified resources from which
a big freight business can be ob
tained. Such a line will be the direct
outlet for the south to the great north
and west and will be ot untold benefit
to the countries through which it
passes.
MISSOURI GIRL’S
STRANGE DISGUISE
Carthage, Mo., June 22.—Miss Maud

yesterday working on a farm a mile
from town, clad in overalls and jump
er. She had cut off her long blondt
hair and at first denied that she wai
| the person sought w’hen a detectivs
| located her. But a ring once owned
by her dead mother completed tht
identification, and she quit work ir
the hayfield to return home. Hei
employer was Eugene Peugnett, win
says he had not suspected the girl,
though he thought her an uncommon
ly handsome boy. Miss Gage is s
graduate of the high school at Web!
City and has taught school severa
terms. Recently she quarreled with
her father because he opened a lettei
I addressed to her which she though'
came from a young man of whom In
disapproved, who had been paying
her attentions.

DES ARC TO DEVALL’S BLUFF.
Work Will Commence This Week on
Choctaw Branch Which Will Ulti
mately be Extended Through
Heber to Leslie.
Information comes from DeVall’s
Bluff that work will commence this
week on the extension of the Searcy
& Des Arc road, Choctaw branch, from
Des Arc to DeVall’s Bluff, a distance
of eighteen miles, to a connection
with the main line of the Choctaw.
This will give a through connection to
the north with the Iron Mountain. It
is believed that the purpose of the
Rock island is to connect by way of
Heber with the St. Louis & North Ar
kansas road, a Frisco project, now
being extended to Leslie. The curve
on the Choctaw main line between
mile 88 and the bridge over White
river is to be straightened, which will
throw the depot at DeVall’s Bluff half
a mile north of the present site. It
will also reduce the grade so that
from five to seven more cars of
freight can be hauled between Little
Rock and Memphis.

COLONEL MINOR’S
PRESENTATION ADDRESS,
In the presentation of a battle fla£
to Mrs. C. R. Cockle Saturday after
noon, Col. L. Minor voiced the senti
i ment and purpose of the gathering ir
the following choice and eloqueni
language:
■ “As a daughter of the First Arkan
sas Regiment, we do you but slighl
honor in this impromptu affair.
“Your gallant father led this flag
in many a deadly battle, honored anc
loved it until the day of his death ii:
Peace, but bowed ever with submis
sion to the inevitable when the condi
tion so required.
“In behalf of the daughters of tht
Lucien C. Gause chapter, I presem
you with this slight token of the re
newed love of those of the First Ar
kansas who are left behind for th<
time being, and yet cherish the lovt
that was close and sweet in tin
sixties, hoping that you have in nt
wise diminished in the faith you im
bibed in those days, but will hold tt
your children’s children and theii
generations, the old love for tht
South and that the Confederacy wil
in the memory of all, live forever.”

MONUMENT TO CONFEDERATES.
The Confederate Monument Asso
ciation was to have held a meeting
Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock in the
senate chamber at the state house for
the purpose of finally deciding upon a
design for the memorial to be erected
in Little Rock to the Arkansas Con
federates.
The bids were to be received with
detailed plans and specifications from
the various bidders, and the session
to be entirely private.
The question that will probably be
raised in the meeting will be whether
or not the monument will be a group
of statuary or a marble or granite
shaft. The committee is divided over
the two general forms of the design.
Following are the members who
will be present from the United Con
federate Veterans: B. W. Green, »
John G. Fletcher, J. T. VV.Tillar, J. B.
Trulock, of Pine Bluff, V. Y. Cook, of
Elmo. Those from the memorial
association of the United Daughters
of the Confederacy are: Mrs. R. J.
Polk, Mrs. E. B. Kingsworthy, Little
Rock; Mrs. R. E. Benton, Pine Bluff;
Mrs. L. C. Ilall, Dardanelle; Mrs. C.
H. Wilmans, Newport.
STREETS AND ALLEYS
NEED IMPROVEMENT.
The ordinance introduced and en
acted June 15, requiring street service
upon the part of all male citizens be
tween 21 and 45 years of age, is not to
become shelf worn. The street and
alley committee, of which A. D.
Bailey is chairman, reported to the
council Monday evening “that in their
opinion, it was necessary that work
be done immediately upon the streets
and alleys of the city,” whereupon
the council by unanimous vote, adopt
ed a resolution calling out all qualified
male citizens to such service and in
structing the marshal to issue sum
mons under the direction of the street
and alley committee.
Upon motion of Thompson, seconded
by Bailey, it was decided that all city
ordinances should be compiled, print
ed and attached to book of ordi
nances.
A number of accounts were allowed,
but nothing further accomplisned.
All members were present except 0.
II. Wilmans, and the approving of the
orevious minutes was dispensed with.
SPIECE MAY ALSO DIE.
Hoxie, June 22.—News has reached
here of a cutting affray and killing at
Pocahontas Saturday. It is said that
a Mr. O’Hair came home in the even
ing and found his wife talking to Mr.
Spiece near the O’Hair home. It is
said that O’Hair grabbed Spiece and
cut him in a number of places. His
cries attracted the marshal and his
deputies, but by the time they ar
rived Spiece was unable to rise from
the ground. When the marshal un
dertook to arrest O’Hair he tried to
use his knife, but the officers shot and
killeQ him.
Mr. Spiece is very low from his
wounds and is not expected to live.
He is a prominent hoop mill owner.
