An Important Enterprise.

Negotiations are pending to-day be-
tween the parties at interest in the
Bowie Lumber Mills and Messrs
Parry Il Keith, large lumber and coal
dealers of Kansas City, Mo-, for the
purchase of the mills and other prop
erty belonging to the Bowie Lumber
Company, by these gentlemen, who
are here for the purpose of locating
an extensive milling enterprise.
These gentlemen are guests of the
visiting officials of the Texarkana Il
Fort Smith railway, and are members
of their party, having come here to
make survey Of the premises with
object in view of establishing a branch
of their extensive milling business in
Texarkana.
We sincerely trust that the deal
will be consumated, as 1t is Of mater
ial Importance to the city, which al
ready has a more extended lumber
and milling interest than any other
city in North Texas or South Arkan-
sas.
The enterprise backed by men OF
unlimited capital and established rep
utation, will, indeed, prove valuable
acquisition to Texarkana.

church in this city last evening to wit
ness the performance Of Frank Taft,
whose organ recltals and musical con-
certs have gained for him the rcnown
and public approval OF the highest
and most competent critics through
out the land. The efforts Of this gen.
tleman on last evening were beyond
criticism, his performances being
greeted with unstinted approval by all
present. The small size Of the all
dience last evening was attributable
to conflict with other amusement
dates and the announcement Of q sec.
ond concert. Hence we confidently
expect for him, on the occasion of his
final appearance at the church tonight
u large and appreciativc audience.

A Cowardly Murder.

In this age, when murder stalks
red-handed throughout the land, ii
must be something more than an or
binary crime of this character, that
attracts more than passing interest.
But that which has just been reported
from Webster Groves, Mo-, small
town just out from the city of st.
Louis, is indeed, out of the common.
The murderers are four ne'er-to-do-
wells of that place, and their victim
prominent young business man.
While passing the business house
of their victim, the village toughs
amused themselves by throwing a
stone through the window Of his
sleeping room, and upon his appear
ing at the broken window, to ascer-
tain the cause of the disturbance, one
of their number, all of whom were
drunk, fired A calibre bullet into
his body producing fatal wound.
The entire party are under arrest,
and the prospects for quadruple
lynching in that community, are con-
sidered excellent.
How long, Oh! how long, before
the courts of our country will make
such terrorfying examples of this
class Of criminals as to brighten others
from the commission thereof.
