Col HENRY FLAD, of St. Louis, one of
the very finest, if not the very finest, civil
engineer IN the west, has been examining
the proposed reservoir site in the western
part OF the city. Col. Flad's report is
most favorable for the location and for the
proposed reservoir But now comes diff.
erence of opinion between the city coun-
Gil and Col. Ward, difference which
should be righted. The council should be
liberal. 1t takes no paltry sum to con-
struct a great and thoroughly reliable pub
lie work, work which is to be of immense
benefit and value to our city in all the
years to come. A reliable supply Of pure
and excellent water IN abundance to the
twenty-eight thousand inhabitants of
growing city, how can that compare in life
or death to the saving Of certain sum of
money? Gentlemen of the council, wise
liberaIity is public benefactor in such an
issue as this How many public men have
we who would make the offer or assume
the responsibility that Col. Ward is now
doing? 1t is an affair of life to great
community, not an affair of dollars and
cents, 50 for the good Of the many pray be
wise, gentlemen Of the council.

GENERAL D, McRAR, who has been an
pointed by Gov Hughes Commissioner for
the State Of Arkansas to the North Central
and South American Exposition, is prepar-
ing pamphlet upon che resources and
capabilities of our State. The work will
certainly be most excellently rendered with
Gen. McRae's known skill and power of
performance. But gentlemen, Governor
ana Commissioner, are still the women of
Arkansas to be an unrecognized portion of
the ability and the industry Of our great
commonwealth? We are neither ignorant
nor slothful, as some of the more fortunate
ladies' of other States seemed to impIv
when conversing with ladies from Arkan-
sas at the Worlds Exposition, and we GER
talnly do not lack appreciation at home.
Think one moment, when the world is
moving SO swiftly forward elsewhere, NAV
we not fancy ourselves forgotten by father
Or brother or those who love US, when they
take their stand abreast of all the land,
leaving us, their assistants, unrecognized
in the march of progress where they lead.

them thought the weapon vss loaded. Ia
caTelessly handling the revolver tue Nelson

and in this position IL was discharged the
ball striking the Johnson boy in the temple
inst over The right eye, aud lodging in the

EDown 10 what depth il penetrated. After
az examination OF The wound, from which
the brain wss oozing freely. the Coroner ex.
pressed the opinion that the lad could not

The Nelson boy was placed under arrest
and taken to the station mouse, Eosre be

cause for malice on the part of the Neson
