ONLY THIRTY-* INE
MILE GAP REMAINS.
Great North and South Road, So
Full of Promise to Newport,
May be Completed
Next June.
Only thirty-nine miles of steel
to lay and the gap between i
the two approaching ends of the1
great White River route will be i
closed, says the Cotter Courier, j
completing the construction of a
splendid trunk line, #ne of the
most important north and south
railways in the Mississippi val
ley, and yet many weary months
will pass before the last spike is
driven home and before the first
through train will pass over the
line.
Only 39 miles, but in them are
crowded a succession of engineer
ing problems to be met and solved
which are stupendous. In their
order these difficulties are: The
Oregon flat cut, the Bear creek
bridge, the Omaha tunnel, the
Barren Fork trestle and bridge,
the White River bridge at Bran
son and the five miles of bridges
and trestles between that place
and Reed’s Spring, the present
southern terminal of the north
end of the line.
When the gap of 39 miles is
filled the White River route will
be complete, but it need not
j cause surprise if the first through
train goes up before June 1st,
1906.
REYNOLDS AGREES
UF . DAMAGES.
Widow Secures Compromise With
Contractor for Loss of Her
Husband.
Little Rock, Dec. 9.—The $10,
000 damage suit brought by
1 Alice Collins against J. H. Rey
nolds, a railroad contractor, for
the death of her husband, Louis
M. Collins, was settled yesterday
and judgment entered by con
sent in the sum of $2,250.
Collins was killed while work
ing for the defendant, who was
then engaged as principal con
tractor -in the construction of the
bridge piers for the Iron Moun
tain across White river near Cot
ter. It was alleged in the com
plaint that Collins was struck on
the head by a box weighing about
150 pounds, which had been sus
pended over his head by a rope.
It was alleged that the rope by
which the box was suspended
had become rotten and unsafe
for use.
The defendant yesterday filed
an answer, alleging that Collins’
death was due to his carelessness
in engaging in conversation while
on the bridge pier and not watch
ing the box which was suspend
ed over his head. Soon after the
answer was filed, however, the
settlement was reached and judg
ment entered for the plaintiff.
A COMEPLETE, TRIUMPH.
A complete triumph in the art
of play-building can be clearly
illustrated by seeing “The Mid
night Express,” soon to appear
here. The four acts of gorgeous
stage settings are marvelously
beautiful, producing an enchant
ing effect. A train of cars three
hundred feet long,a light house,a
storm at sea, are among the
scenic splendors of “The Mid
night Express,” which is said to
be the purest and most intense
of melo-dramas of this genera
tion. A company of sixteen
cleverly interpret the interesting
plot.' There are also six special- j
ty artists and two talented chil-\
dren performers in ‘ ‘The Mid
night Express” which comes to'
Newport theatre for one night,
Dec. 13.

REMEMBER WOMAN S GLANCE
Men May Forget the Color of Her Hair,
Bat the Power of Her Eye
Is Potent.
▲ woman’s eyes are the first objects
to attract a man's attention, ami they
are the last things he remembers about
her. Long after he has forgotten the
color of her hair, the dimple in her
chin and the soft, sweet sound of her
voice, the look in her eye remains with
him, says an authority on the sub
ject.
He may not be able to single her
glove out of a pile of keepsakes; he
may have cast her photograph upside
down into the waste basket with a lot
of others; the slippers she made him
may have been worn out by his valet,
but still some particular turn of her
glance, some little trick of dropping
her lashes or lifting her brown eyes
will be as clear to him as the daylight.
Ten years after love has been laid
away in his little satin-lined casket
that glance will rise like Banquo’s
ghost at the feast and startle him just
at the moment when the man is look
ing most intently into the eyes of an
other woman.
It is not the color of a woman’s eyes
which a man first observes or last re
members. Nine times out of ten a
man will turn from the glance of a
pair of soft brown, cowlike eyes to
gaze into the green orbs of the red
headed girl on the other side of the
table, and many a doll-like, blue-eyed
beauty weeps because some pug-nosed,
tawny-eyed woman has lured away her
sweetheart.
Ask any man the color of his sister’s
•yes and he will look at you blankly.
"Jove,” he will remark, "I—I believe
I’ve forgotten. But they’re all right.
There’s something about them that’s
oatchy.” And that is positively all that
can be gotten out of him.
l,he fact that Becky aharpe’s eyes
were green or that Cleopatra’s eyes
were yellow never interfered with the
machinations of those fascinating la
dies, nor dulled their reputations as
coquettes. Color, size and shape may
make an eye beautiful, but they never*
.sen iri vo it that aramatHin <r whif*h SA
many beautiful eyes lack and so many
homely ones possess, the power to
make a man break a bank or sell hie
overcoat in order to give his wife what
■he wants.
When the world was sentimental
men called it “soul.” Then they grew
practical and apathetic and they called
it “character.” But no man will ever
know what It is any more than he will
ever know why he married the particu
lar woman he picked out or why tha
cook has left It Is a question as
subtle and elusive as either of these.
WONDERS IN MECHANICS.
Some That Were Worked by Young
Americans with ■ Genius for
Invention.
A young man who at 21 had been be
fore the mast, had worked in the
chemical department of a mill and had
lectured upon nitrous-oxide gas
throughout the country patented tha
rotating chamber for a pistol. It was
not considered particularly valuable uu
til after his first company that made it
had failed and fights in Texas and with
the Seminoles in Florida proved its
worth. The Mexican war made a de
mand for it.
The same mechanic, says the
Would's Work, who did so much for
early ax-making developed details in
revolver-making. The American plan
of not hesitating at the cost of new
appliances was never better shown
than in this big armory. The owner
was probably the first man to suggest
the mining of harbers with torpedoes
for defense, and he was the first to lay
a submarine electric cable. One day a
young man from Vermont came to hia
works.
“What can you do?” asked the su
perintendent.
“I’m a machinist, a toolmaker and a
liesinker and I can play a horn in a
band,” was the reply.
He went to work the next day. A
few years later he multiplied by 40 the
value of certain labor in another fac
tory, and by another invention saved
the company JoO.OOO on contracts al
ready made. Later, with a sewing ma
chine company, he forged shuttles from
one piece of bar steel and cut previous
costs in half. Since that time he has
made forgings by the use of drops
weighing as much as a ton dropping
with dies sometimes six feet upon iron,
ateel and copper. An example of his in
ventive genius is the instance of hia
forging offhand from a single piece of
copper commutator bars for electric
dynamos after the electrician in charge
had said that such a scheme was im
possible.
Priest and Donkey.
When Archbishop Farley was private
chamberlain to the late Pope Leo, some
20 years ago, he was called upon to meet
all sorts of persons. Many of them
measured wits with him, and few scored
victory. On one occasion a young
Frenchman tried his best to anger the
prelate, then Mons. Farley, by scoffing
at religion and clergymen. Failing in
this, he resorted to sheer Impudence,
saying: “I am informed that in Mada
gascar, whenever they hang a priest,
■hey hang a donkey along with him.”
The young man laughed, and Mons.
Farley, looking at him mildly, said:
Well, let us both be thankful, my young
friend, that we are not in Madagas
car”
Much More to the Point.
“Ef yer real interested,” said Dea
eon Skinner, “I’ll tell ye what I want
fur thet horse.”
“Oh, I wouldn’t be Interested in know
ing thet,” replied Farmer Shoude.
“No?"
“No; but I wouldn’t mind knowin’
what ye’d taka.”—Philadelphia Praia

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
*•
j; ? j
The sale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the founds"
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a second. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense). but out of the few who have nearly reached the goal.
Kimball is Prominent.
( _ i ' ’
One of the most perfect musical scales ia displayed in the cultivated human voice. An
imperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
claim to nag. It costs money to cultivate the voiee, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. Hm cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of other of the
recognised artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
has say fsslivy. wo sse able to soil tbs Kimball a* s very moderate price. —Iffy wldiwd
