FAILURE IN ARKANSAS.
Dry Goods Dealers and Planters
Forced to the Wall.

PINE BLUFF, Ark, Dec. 31.-A sensa-
ton was caused here today by the fail
ure OF Althermer Bros, wholesale and
retail dry goods dealers and planters.
Assets, S30O,oOO; liabilities, 100000.
The failure was caused by the refusal
of the insurance companies to settle the
Althermers' claims of $40, 900 for the de-
structIon of their establishment two
years ago. This was coupled with dis
astrous oyerfoWs OH their plantations
and poor business this fall. The i'm

OUTING SHOES.

1t long ago seemed as though
shoes could never be better and
never be cheaper, but they are
better now and cheaper now than
they ever were before. The great
every day favorite is u mems
and ladies' shoe. It is as much a
boon to the pocketbook as it is to
the feet. It won't wear you out
to wear it out. You don't need to
take care Of it; it takes care of
itself. It will give you solid COM
fort for the simple reason that a
better shoe for knockabout pur-
poses has never been produced.
If prices never appealed to you
before, the price of this shoe will,
for it costs only $3.50. It will
look nicer and wear longer than
any shoe on earth.

Sad If True.

Tights are doomed; SO say the dress
makers. They don't refer to those ex-
posed to public view on the stage. o.
dear, no! No fashion can drive them
out of fashion. What they do refer to
are the tights that correctly dressed wo-
men have been wearing for the last two
years in lieu of p~eticoats. With the ad-
vent of crinoline and abundance of I'M
derskirts will be in vogue again, as they
were a decade ago, and women loaded
down with stifay starched linen will
rustic as they walk like the wind among
the forest trees.

In the dry goods department Mr..
Wells displayed good judgment in the
solid excellence and in the rich variety
of his purchases of dress goods, linens,
muslins, and in fact of all the multitude
nous articles which go to make up a com

and this seasons line is complete.
The window displays were decidedly
pretty and effective, calling forth many
words of appreciation and praise.
Prof. Reizenstein's orchestra of four
pieces furnished some delightful music
for the evening opening, adding a pleas
ing element to an suspicious event.

Monday, Sylvester Cordial had an e
~perience while attempting to ford the
Republican river at a point near gilbert
son, which will suffice him for the rest
of his natural days. When he got al
most to the south bank of the river his
bronchos took a notion to 60 in bathing
and both of them laid down in the wa
ter, breaking the whipple tree of the
buggy, from which they became olsen
gagged, making their way back to the
north side of the stream. (Sylvester is
a little disconnected about some of these
details.) Not being able to swim, he
was about in the position of being be-
tween the devil and the deep blue sea.
After spending a few hours in the buggy,
Micawber-like waiting for something to
turn up, by some vigorous yelling he
finally attracted the attention of a far
mer who drove into the river with his
team, and pulled his buggy ashore. At
forwards catching the bronchos, helping
to fix up the vehicle, and sending the
luck1ess Syl. onward bound. eve might
add that the Culbertson bridge was nsed
on the homeward crossing of the river.)

The announcement of the death Of
Willie, youngest child of Postmaster and
Mrs. Troth, Saturday morning, came
upon the community with the startling
and saddening effect of a great surprise,
as it was generally supposed that their
little boy was getting along nicely. How
ever, membraneous Group set in, the pre-
vious night, rendering the operation of
tracheotomy imperative. Drs. Kay, Davis
and Gage performed the operation the
following morning, from which the little
fellow in his enfeebled state did not re-
cover. The funeral occurred on Sunday
afternoon, a large company of sympa-
timing friends following the remains Of
the dear one to Longview. There were a
number of beautiful floral tributes. The
bereaved ones have the fullest, tenderest
sympathy of all in their profound sorrow.

1t is a delicate subject, we appreciate,
and we have referred to the matter afore-
times, but the fact remains that the city
cemetery needs attention, this spring.
With but few exceptions graves and
family plats are in a sadly neglected state,
in the city of the dead out on the hill.
We make these observations simply to
remind some Of a neglected or forgotten
duty. The city cemetery is not in har-
mony with the good taste, wealth and
tender sentiment of this people; and THE
TRIBUNE hopes the coming season will
see a marked change wrought therein.
That trees, shrubbery, flowers, grass, if
not the more costly monuments, fences
ETC., will be placed there; and that the
general appearance of the last resting
place of so many of our dear ones will be
greatly improved.
