 An express car on the M. K. and F railroad at Adair, |. T was held up on the 14th inst. by the notorious Dalton gang and robbed of $40,000. Geo. K. Howell of this place, was on the train at the time and was an unwilling witness of the exciting affair. Several shots were exchanged between the train men and the robbers resulting in the wound ing of several on each side and the death from these wounds of one robber and one citizen, the latter an unoffending party who was struck by stray bullet.

 The bridge commissioners inspected the new bridge across the Bayou near Dover last Wednesday and recommend ed to the county court its acceptance, every part of the contract having been fully and satisfactorily complied with. The iron work is remarkably strong and substantial, while the piers, constructed l byiContractor Henry ,are models of dura- bility and strength, so the iron men say. Completed, the bridge cost the county $4 ,603,50 which amount has been paid. After making due investigation the com missioners are of the opinion that the condition of the bridge fund warrants the erection of another bridge, and they will meet again next Saturday to decide | it's location.

 From the present indications it is fair to assume that the canvass of this county by any of the republican nomi- nees will be very slight, if any be made at all. Are we to understand by this in- difference that the nomination of the republican ticket was merely piece of political intrigue intended to deceive the democrats? If this was the scheme the republican ticket will be withdrawn and an effort made to enforce support of the peoples party ticket. This arrangement would doubtless be acceptable and pleas ing to the p. ps, but how would it suit the republicans who have been deluded into the belief that their party leaders were sincere in protesting detestation of fusion methods and especially with the patent pulverizers 1t is not believed the scheme will work, but we shall see.
 The candidates of all parties should bear in mind that their names cannot be certified to the board of election com missioners and placed on the ticket un- til they pay the fees required by law, as follows: County officers $3; township officers, $l. This has to be paid to the county treasurer and his receipt given to the chairman or secretary of the coun- ty committee, who make the certificate of nomination and deliver it and the re- ceipt of the treasurer to the election board State and district officers have to deal with the Secretary of State and when the law is complied with their names are certified to the county elec- tion board and then placed on the tick et All this should be attended to be- fore August 2lst, as no name can get on the ticket unless filed not less than fif- teen days before the election.
 Yesterday Dardanelle suffered from another disastrous contlagration, the second of the kind since the 1st of Jan uary. From MT. Polk of the Wilson Dry Goods Co, we get the following par ticulars of yesterdays fire: It originated in Harris saloon or in Whittlesy's jew elry store about a. m. Both buildings were beyond control when the depart ment arrived. The flames spread rapid | ly and consumed two store buildings be- longing to Goldman and the butcher shop of Smith & Evans, together with the jewelry store of J. V. Whittlesy. Goldman saved his stock of goods In a more or less damaged condition. Whit tlesy, Smith & Evans and Harris lost their buildings and contents. Goldman's buildings were worth about Sl0,000, the others not more than 5000 The total loss sustained cannot now be estimated. There was some insurance carried, but just how much cannot be ascertained.

 -On Wednesday August 10 it is pro posed to hold at Atkins novel conven- | ton, which, in the absence of better name, might be called a consolation meeting. The Mail of last week, refer ring to the matter had this to say: We were favored by pleasant call from Uncle John Burnett Thursday. He is all right over his defeat and is as bouy- ant and spirited for the success of the ticket as any Democrat in the county.
