time the accident occurred were engaged
in putting up a 16.foot collar The sur

one of them slipped and caused the plat
form to move, or whether the platform
gave way, but the collar fell and struck
McMauus in its descent with the result
above stated.
There was no contusions or other marks
on the victims body, but he bled profusely
from the ears, nose and mouth He never
spoke and it is believed death was instan-
taneOus with the blow he received

lowed the vocation of a driver in the
mines He was very popular with his
acquaintance and his home life was a
very happy one He had been the sup

A CHARMING EVENT.
EFFle ELLsLER COMES AGAIN
One of the Finest Actresses on the Ameri-
 can Stage willBe Here Next Tuesday Night.

A more accomplished and finished actress is not found on the American stage than Fife Ellsler, who is an nounced at the Opeara-house Tues day evening November 20. Her act ing has that tender, womanly quail ity that is certain to win the favor of an audience. and this together with the fact that she has never given Pine Bluff audiences a performance in any respect inferior to those she presents i'll the great amusement centers of the country, have made her great favorite with the pub lie. On the present occasion she will present Robert Drouets successful play, Doris, which has been so re- gently successfully produced in New Orleans. What was thought of the play there, may be judged from the following from the Times Democrat of November ,.
 l Fife Ellsler appeared at the Acad emy Of Music last night before thor 
 ouglIly appreciatiye audience. which, before the play was over, became ar enthusiastic one. The sweet per sonality with which Miss Ellsler in vests her characters was more thar l apparent last night. Thecompany sh, l has gathered around her this season I are all artists of ability, and lend l fine support to her excellent work The play, Doris, written by Robert Drouet, has been seen before in this I city land has been reviewed in th' 1 Times es-Democrat. Of course, th' most interest is centere around Miss
 EIIsler. This actress has endeared I herself to all theater-gOers, and bJ N many is considered the foremost act 4 ress in the line of character she es { says, which this country has pro
 duced. She is easy and natural, ful ! of quiet and dignity and sweetness

Immigration for Arkansas

immigration for Arkansas. f5s Tn my opinion it is not for the best interest of Arkansas or the South, to court general foreign immigration.
 As a rule such immigration comes to our shores poor iii pocket, unac- quainted with our ways of doing business and have to begin at the bottom of the ladder and climb up. Arkansas and the South generally has helpless wards enough, without inviting more.
 What Arkansas needs most is just such capital, experiences ard energy as can be found plentifully in the Northwest. To wit, in Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska and other states. All that is needed is to show them the way, and our local ad- vantages, which the writer has been trying to do in a quiet way without much assistance, therefore without much success.
 Every dollar of capital brought into our State and invested is a ben eft. Good families with more or less capital could be induced with little expense, to come into our State now while good lands are so very cheap, and settle up the coun- try and become prosperous farmers and have good homes.
 Arkansas now needs filling up with live stock and good farmers with more attention given to stock-rais- | ing and grain-growing, thereby | making self-sustaining farms. To commence d work of this kind, our next Legislature should make an ap- propriation, and create an immigra- tion fund for the purpose of adyer Using our country and it's adyan tages, so that q State agency might be established along on the north western border. with several head quarters along that line located al different places.
 1 Now, for instance, let the appro priation be ma de and say two goot business agents be appointed by tn Governor, if so instructed, to trave mp in the Northwest with sufficien
 amount of the right kind of adver
 Using, and to induce some of tn | leading class of their citizens whs
 wish to make a change, to com
 down and come with these agents
 so that they can see and know tha
 what we say about our country
 true; when they can go back and in
 duce others to come.
 l We have lands as cheap as on
 wants, the climate, water, timbe
 and everything to make Arkansa
 the greatest State in the Union.

 Among the members of the com spany who deserve special mention Mir. Frank Weston comes first, as he is an actor of marked ability Mir. Robert Drouet, the leading man of the organization, is handsome and talented young actor, and ad mirably sustained the role of Ken meth AshIeigh.
 'The entire company is a strong one, all of whom work intelligently and in harmony to make the enter tainment real attraction, introduc- ing considerable comedy work of q good order to light the more serious passages of the play.
 "The magnificent gowns worn ny Miss Ellsler were gems of the millin- er's art.
