In 8 recent interview State Commits sioner of Agriculture Yineenheller said:
 Arkansas is going to have the finest display of fuits and vegetables and tmbers at Atlanta that anybody ever heard of. We are going to have the finest in the world I tell you, and are going ta make the people open their eyes. The world expects more from Arkansas than it does from any other state in the Union-it's fact! They saw what we did in Chicago, ,auf the expect us to keep up tha lick The only thing we ha, to beat is our Chicago dis play, and we have that beaten already. In fact, onr Chicago display will be to oug Atlanta display as black pebbles are to diamonds. We have spent mora money in decorating our display and making it more attractive than any other state and as result we have the most inviting exhibit in the agri- cultural building.
 Mr Nincenheller says all the coun, ties have contributed most liberally. Lennke, which. through the efforts of Messrs. Fletcher and England, has furnished quantities of very fine grains, grasses, fruits and potatoes; Arkansas has furnished specimens of the finest corn ever grown on a prairie; Scott has sent some as magnificent grapes as ever hung from a vine; In- dependence has contributed splendid display of manganese and building stone; Jackson has sent a fine dislay of grains, grasses and timbers; the northwestern counties have responded couties corn and fruits and cotton,

MINERS ENTRAPPED.

Cut Ofb Fire In Michigan Copper Mine Thirty Men Supposed to be Bost-0niy One Poor Chance Of Escape Through an
 Abandoned Hecla Mine shaft-Pathetlo
 Scenes at the Mouth Of the Mine.
 HouaHroN, Mich. Sept. T-At 12:8o o'clock this afternoon fire was discov- cred by timbermen in the thirty seventh level of the Oseeola copper mine. The timbermen at once rushed to the shaft and when brought to the surface in the big bucket gave the alarm. Thirty miners were at work at the time, and up to late hour to- night but one person had been res- cued, pump boy. and he died shortly after reaching the open air.
 The blaze on the thirty-seventh level is 2,600 feet below the earths surface. The underground workings are heavily timbered with pine and as the fire spread it generated great quantities of earbonic acid gas, which sank to the lower level, so that death from sUffo- cation is as certain to all in the level below the thirty-sexenth as to those above.
 Smoke is pouring in dense volumes from the mouth of every shaft in the mine, and escape through those open ings Is impossible. The fire is evil dently gaining very rapidly.
 The only hope for the thirty inn prisoned men to effect their escape is through an old drift which opens at about the fifteenth level intothe south HecIa branch of the famous Calumet and Heea mine. but that drift was | abandoned years ago. and doubtless is choted up with decaved timber. But it is the only possible avenue of es- cape, and the hopes of the miners friends cling desperately to it.
 Gathered about the shafts of the 0s- ceola are the wives. mothers and chil- dren of the unfortunate men, anx- iously awaiting further news from their loved ones The scenes are very pathetic, but beyong the doubtful as surance that the men may have found the bandoned Hecla drift, little com fort can be extended Every effort is being pat forth to rescue the unfor- tunate men, but hope k not high.
 The 05ceola Is, next to the Tam araels, the chief copper producer in the Clark Bi9elow group. 1t has been in continuous operation since 1888, and paid average dividends of s10,000 an nually.
 Upwards of 200 men were at work in the levels of the mine when the fire started. Many of these were taken to the main shaft and brought to the surface in the great buckets in faint ing condition. It is now utterly im-
 A. usual methods and preparations arc being made to close the mouths of the shafts to shut off the air. The side shaft leading to the thirty level is dramatically sealed, but the other shafts will not be closed 50 long as hope remains IL 1s 5el 5o,.' - : take month to extingnish the flames. This is thought to be the worst disas- ter in point of loss of life in the eop- per mining history of Michigan,

MEN AND MONEY MISSING.

Sixteen Thousand Dollars Stolen from the
 Adams Express ofiee In Terre 1Iaute.
 TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Sept. s-Much excitement was caused last night by the discovery that the Adams Express office had been robbed of large sum of money. ]. D. Farden, cashier of the Adams Express office, and J. k. Barnett city ticket agent of the Van dalia, who has his office in the same room, are missing. They disappeared Friday night A package containing S16,00e, deposited Friday by Internal Revenue Collector Jump, to be shipped to the Cincinnati subtreasury, Is also missing. The theft may go much larger.
 The safe was locked by Farden, who alone knew the combination, and az expert is at work on the safe to open it. Farden was former pension clerk at Washington, and has been cashier here two years. No trace of either can be found.
 At 10 o'clock last night it was posi- lively ascertained that the 2l6,oo0 package was stolen. A locksmith sue ceeded in opening the safe and the money was gone. The records of the office show 1t was not shipped, so that there is no doubt but that Farden ear. ried it with him when he left here at 1 o'clock yesterday morning, going east over the Big Four. No other evil dence of crooiIedness has been found in Farden's accounts.
 Farden is a hard drinlSer, and it is said has been drunk several nights within the last week with AgeH5 Barnett. They were fast friends. No traen of Rarnett. ean ha fnund -

In 1879 he entered politics and was
elected councilman. Two years later he
was city attorney and in 1875 a member
OF the legislature. In 1880 he was presi-
Dental elector and carried the vote Of Ne
braska to Washington to be counted for
Garfield. He was chairman of the Nebras-
ka delegation in the Republican national
convention of 1884 and seconded the nom-
nation of John A. Logan. In 1888 he was
temporary chairman of the Republican ma
tional convention, and his speeches in
these two great gatherings gave him wide
fame as one Of the most graceful, eloquent
and convincing orators In the Republican
party.

ter was appointed to the high Office of

The Wonderful Career of Bartram Hiles,
the ArmIess English Artist.

The Wonderful Career of Bartram Hiles,
the ArmIess English Artist.
Bartram Hiles does not paint with his
teeth because he is eccentric or because he
desires notoriety. He paints with his teeth
for the simple but potent reason that he
has no arms. When he was s years of age,
he was run over by a street car, and the
accident caused the amputation of both
arms above the elbow. Instead of bewail-
ing his fate and abandoning all hope OF
doing anything to aid himself, he began
to study art with vim, and in two years
had so thoroughly mastered the plan OF
holding his pencil between his teeth when
he drew that he was placed in the first
class of the second grade of free hand
with him it was free teeth-drawing in
the National school at Bristol, England.
When but 10 years of age, he exhibited
a study of sycamore leaf at the local art
academy, and the dra%ing was surprising
ly well done for an artist SO cruelty Grip
pied. He continued to study faithfully
and was rewarded in 1890, when he won
scholarship open to the United Kingdom.
The scholarship continued for two years,
was worth about $500 and was offered by
the National Art department of South
Kensington. Since then Hiles has won
numerous other honors with the aid of his
