ANNOUNCEMENT EXTRAO RDINARH.
The REGISTER has bought the
name, good will and subscription
lists of the Savonburg Progress and
the Elsmore Eagle. The publication
of those papers will be discontinued
after this week and both will be
merged into the REGISTER. In order
that the thriving towns of Elsmore
and Savonburg may be compensated
as far as possible for the loss of their
home papers, we shall establish in
each of them a branch office of the
REGISTER to be in charge of live,
active man who will furnish this pap
er with all the news of his locality,
and will at the same time represent it
in business way. 1t is our hope
that we will be justified in setting
apart a certain space in the REGIS
TER each week to be devoted eXclus-
lively to the advertisements and news
of Savonburg and a similar space to
be similarly used by Elsmore. We
are sure that such an arrangement
would be mutually satisfactory and
and we trust it can be made.
The absorption of the Progress and
the Eagle, will extend the subscript-
ion list of the REGISTER by the adj
dition of not less than 400 names, Civ
ing us total circulation of nearly, if
not quite 1000 copies,-more than
double the circulation of any other
paper in the county and probably
greater by 500 than the combined cir
culation of all the others. The advan-
tage to our business patrons by vir-
tue of the new arrangement, will GER
tainly not need to be emphasized.

Fire at Arkansas City.

The magnificent plant of the Desha
Lumber and Planning Company was
burned at Arkansas City Sunday after
noon. The fire broke out in the axe
handle department, and as swift gale
was blowing from the river, it was
impossible to check the fire until the
entire plant was destroyed The mill
property belonged to a Boston COM
pany, and was worth at least 100000
There was at least 100000 feet of
hardwood lumber in the yards, every
foot of which was destrored. 1t is
estimated that the loss of the Desha
Lumber and Planning plant, lumber
and all, will foot up at least $6,000,000
which is partly covered by insurance.
In addition to the loss sustained by
the Desha Company, three residences
beloning to Judge James Murpey, val
ued at $4,000, and residence belong
ing to Mrs. Fannie Mason, valued at
$1,000, were destroyed. For while
it looked as though other valuable
property would be destroyed, but the
flames were finally checked The fire
is severe blow to Arkansas City.

BIG ENTERPRISE.
George Gould and Eastern Capital
lists to Put 100000 in
Cement Plant.

A DEMOCRAT reporter ran upon an
important item this morning, of inter
est TO Texarkana. G.. j. ANTI of New
Orleans, representing George Gould
and Eastern Capitalists, was in the
city, and to-day went out TO Browns
town, Sewer county, to close an OPP
ton on 1860 acres of land near that
place, and about six miles from Will
ton. Body of land covers the noted
"White Cliff on Little river, and it is
claimed the best of cement, equal to
the Portland cement, can be made
from the white chalky substance
abounding therein. A plant costing
$S00,000 will at once be erected, for
the manufacture of this cement.
For some time, it has been known
that these Eastern capitalists have held
$1,000 option on this property. Now
it is stated that the deal is to be consum-
mated, and the big enterprise put on
foot. 1t will be help and advantage
10 TeXarkana as it is located so near,
that the coming in of so much capital
and labor, is bound to prove beneficial.

thought of music-that Breath of
/ Divinity"-ls one of deep interest and
Importance; the appreciation of this
fact was fully indicated by the large
number who responded to the AT
Home cards of Miss Bessie Davis--a
piano recital by her pupils at the beau
tiful residence of Mr. and Mrs. G. S.
Todd, on last evening. The pro-
gramme was unusually attractive, and
the entire affair was characterized by
the "ton" which it merited. Duett,
"Invitation to the Dance" by Misses
Gertrude Temple and Pearl Spearman,
was not a mere time-keeping piece,
but an artistic work which spoke vol
umes for the little executants. The
next number was Guillitt's "Waltzer"
admirably given by Miss Louise Levy.
The natural talent of Miss Mary Web
Der was evinced in that soft sweet
melody "Murmuring Spring" Miss
Jennie Rosborough gracefully won
distinction in "Autumn Flowers
finally merging into Chopins' Waltz,
Op. Ga. The applause was indeed
won, that greeted Mrs. Todd at the
close of the charmingly executed LAST
Hope" Special attention was turned
to Master Wallace Winfield when the
piano strings vibrated the rich tone
harmonies of Lichner's Sonata. The
recipient of much praise was Miss
Mabel Talbot in her entertaining por-
trayal of "Waltz'-Durand. Next,
Master John Wheeler's treble accom-
paniment in Duett, delighted the hear
ers. Miss Pearl Spearman met the
difficulties of "La Grace" then the soft
melody of "Sweet Remembrance" with
an advanced touch. The constant
pedal action and change Of lingering
gave evidence Of the rapid improve
ment of Miss Mamie Staiti. Then the
lovely sounds of 'Ionely May" at the
will and touch oflittle Miss Ultie Web
ber was heard changing to "Dancing
Spirits, the acknowledged beauty of
both renditions gave charm indeed, to
their well trained execution. Lavish
were the enconiums won by Miss Marg-
uerit O'Donnell, as each and all listened
wondered at how perfectly she played
English Love Song" and Joyous
Farmer" that almost defed the fact
that they were executed with her one
hand, instead of otherwise. Soon
came another air--a sweet pleading
melody-"Brooklet," by Miss Ger
trude Temple, in strain so attractive
that one feared to miss single note,
closing with an equally attractive and
well executed waltz.
Miss Davis has long since established
her reputation as a pianist of rare alb
illty; the program she arranged for
her pupils was indeed excellent, and
the success they have achieved is the
result Of the faithful and careful train
ing she has given them. After the
piano recital delightful dance en-
sued, and the merriment lasted until q
very late hour. LONE.

COMET COMING!
Will Probably Strike the Earth on
Nov. 2Sth.

NOVs EOJu.
The monster comet, which was dis
covered about fifteen days ago, is COM
ing straight toward the earth. The
astronomers are greatly agitated over
this heavenly tramp and predictions
are made that it would collide with
this planet about November 27 or %.
This comet, which is growing larger
and larger night by night, has excited
the astronomical world to an unprece-
dented extent, because of the mystery
surrounding its appearance and the re-
suits which are likely to follow its ap-
proach to the earth. When the comet
was first seen by Holmes on Novem-
Der it was a mere speck, but its ap-
pearance in the part of the heavens
where it was found was so unexpected
and startling that the news was tele-
graphed to astronomers in all the lead
ing observatories in this country and
Europe.
Prof Louis Boss, at the Dudley OBJ
servatory in Albany, found the comet
on the evening of November 1S, and
has been closely watching it ever
since. He came to the conclusion that
it was probably identical with Blela's
comet. Prof. Boss, from what he has
seen of it, is convinced that there is
likely to be very close approach be-
tween the comet and the earth, and he
mentions the 2Sth Of this month as
the date when the two bodies are
likely to be closest Together. lie esti-
mates the outside nebulosity of the
comet to be $4,000 miles, which shows
it to be monster of the largest size.
1t has moreover been authoritatively
stated that the comet isnow approach
ing the earth SO rapidly that within
two weeks it will appear in the heav-
ems "many times larger than the
diameter of the full MOON"
1t is pointed for this globe as accu-
rately as if it had been shot out Of a
gun. For this reason the full length
of its tail cannot accurately be meas
ured. 1t is known, however, that the
comet is coming this way at the rate
of several thousand miles asecond. On
any assumption as to the origin of this
fiery monster there is no denying the
fact that it is coming very near the
earth. In any event, the two bodies
are certain to have close shave. The
most conservative estimate of the new
monster of the heavens is that of the
astronomers, who say that 1t is the
famous comet of Biela. That gives it
a certain element of known regularity,
although in the case of Bilea's comet
there was little enough of this. If, ON
the other hand, it is admitted that the
comet is an entirely new and hitherto
unheard-of body, nobody could tell
where IL would go, except to say that
if it kept its present direction, it would
hit the earth squarely between the
eyes.
