If it required an annual outlay of 800
to insure II family against any serious
consequences from an attack of bowel
complaint during the year there are many
who would feel it their duty to pay it:
that they could not afford to risk their
lives, and those of their family for such
an amount. Any one can get this insur-
aDce for p cents. that being the price of
a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie Cholera
and Diarrhpa Remedy. In almost every
neighborhood some one has died from an
attack of bowel complaint before medi-
cine could be procured or "A physician
summoned. One or two doses of this
remedy will cure any ordinary case 1t
never fails. Can you afford to take the
risk for so small an amount? For sale by

Examining rIineraI Prospects.

Judge Clark Craycroft, of Joplin, Mo, whose arrival we mentioned in the last issue of. the Star, after spend ing several days among the mining prospects near here, returned home Friday.

The result of his in- vestigations will be watched with much interest

SEVEN WOREINGMEN DEAD.
TERRIBLE RESULT OF A PRE-
 MATURE EXPLOSION.
Caused by Careless Work of a Blast ing Crew OH the K. C., p. sc.
 Right-o Way.

Last Thursday afternoon at about { o'clock the blasting crew of ". Ii. Kennedy's camp, which is located IS miles south of this city on the line of the K. C., P. S c. railroad, was charg- ing a 2O-foot hole with powder, pre- paratory to the blasting after work was stopped for the day. About fifty kegs of powder had been put in the hole and as some rocks had choked it up, one of the men took up a steel bar and drove it down to again open the hole. The bar evidently came in contact with flint rock caus- ing the fatal spark In an instant a mass of earth and stone flew into the air to come down and bury seven men beneath it,
 Those near the terrible scene rushed in to try and save their fellow work men, and as they dug them out all were found to be dead except Con- tractor W. II. Kennedy. He was com pletely covered with a mass of earth and rock and laying between two dead men. He was carried to his camp where all possible care was given him, but he gradually weakened from his many wounds and died at o'clock Sunday morning He leaves wife and three children.
 Monday morning his remains were taken on special train to Poteau to make connection with the Frisco enrote to Ft Worth, Texas, for burial. The other men killed were:
 Jack Mcdonald, foreman
 Patrick Lacy.
 l.. o. Morris, water boy
 Dennis Murphy.
 J. Ryan.
 J. H. Leonard, who leaves wife and several small children.
 The contractors and work men along the line made up purse for Mrs. Leonard of over S10o.
 It was an exceedingly sad affair and those left to mourn have the sympa- thy of all. Such an accident could not occur if the general custom of using a wooden tamper, instead of oue made of steel, had been followed

Black Walnut Logs.

. D. Williams, Esq, of Chicago, has been here several days, and expects to remain during the winter buying black walnut logs to ship to Hamburg, Germany. He reports finding q good supply of logs of good quality.
 He has not yet decided whether to snip by New Orleans or New York, but as soon as the gap in the Port Arthur route now being graded from this polnt south, is completed they will be snlpped that way. Mir. Williams re- ports that these black walnut logs, when delivered in mburg, are worth rom $50 to Sl20 per 1000 feet, accord ing to quality, and is used only in making the most costly articles of Furniture, etc.
 Y would seem that this "raw mater 'al should be utilized here, giv- 'ng employment to American work men' Instead of sending it abroad ~ pc worked up, but as long as for olgners can afford to send here and A'nt these logs up and pay for them, can aiford to let them go.

M. E. Church Organized in rlena.

From the time that people began to arrive in Mena until the present time Rev.J. Y. Christmas has been preaching for and laboring with the good people of our town without any Church or ganization or any promise of support. He succeeded in raising a sufficient amount of money some time ago to build the tabernacle where services have been held since. and where many children, as well as older people, have enjoyed meeting in the capacity of a Sunday school.
 On last Sunday, afternoon instead oi the regular preaching service, Rev. Christmas organized society of the M. E. Church South, with quite mum Der of charter members. He will now feel more at home, and respectfully invites all to attend his services.

 This factory will employ at least s50 men when once under way, and will add materially to the population and prosperity of Meno The same company will also establish large general merchandise store.

OUR FIRST BALL.
Mena's First Social Gathering a Great
 Success.

The first social affair in which all of the best people of Mena participated was the dance given by Mir. Harry Tremain, proprietor of Hotel Mena, on last Thursday evening.
 Forty three couples, responding 10 the invitations, gathered at the hall in the Company's building opposite the hotel to join in the festivities. Such a gathering of strangers could not occur except in community so quickly formed as here in Mena. But before the dance began the hall was filled with jolly, friendly crowd that stayed and enjoyed the dance long af- Ter midnight, only stopping long enough to retire to Hotel Mena where an excellent supper was served.
 Mr Tremain deserves a great deal of credit for the manner in which he conducted the affair and the success he made.

Il. Shadel, secretary of the German immigration society of this place, was contemplating going to Neosho this week but deferred his visit on account of receiving word that sixteen of his German friends, of Sumner, Iowa. were to be here on the 23, inst, to look at the country, and he did not wish to be absent at that time.

 The meeting was enthusiastic and shows very plainly that as city Mena has business men who realize the value of well formed commercial club, and men who will not be satis- fled until such an organization is in good working order. It is probable that the next meeting will be called for Monday night, and all business men should be ready to respond to the call

THE WORLD OF BUSINESS
Wall street Review.

New York. Jan. 2l.-Business at the
Stock Exchange continues dull, the sales
today footing up only 12S9l6 shares OF
stock and $9S2. 900 railway and miscellane
Gus bonds. The opening of the market
was strong, prices in the first half hour
Of trading having advanced halA per cent.
The rise was based on Washington advices
that the outlook for speedy settlement
OF the Venezuela boundary question had
improved. The impression that the new
government bond loan will be heavily
oversubscribed also led to some buying
at this time. The engagement Of $2,50O.O0
gold bars for shipment to Europe an
nounced at an early hour was ignored so
far as the stock market was concerned,
and the rumors of heavy shipments late In
the week also fell fiat. In the afternoon
the lndustrials and Western Union ruled
weak. Chicago Gas fell to 6iia on reports
from Chicago that the secretary of tine
state of Illinois, on advice of Attorney
General Moloney, had refused to accept
the consolidation papers Of the reOrganiza-
ton committee. The committee. backed
by the Showalter decision, will fight the
matter. Tobacco was feverish, ranging
between 77isa7Sss, closing at IS bid. There
was less demand for the stock for cleo
ton purposes. Western Union sold down
to Sis On rumors OF light earnings and in
creased competition. The market closed
barely steady. Net changes showed ad-
canve of Aa7s per cent, Louisville and
Nashville leading. The Industrials, how
ever, lost h.al per cent, except for General
Electric, which gained 1S per cent. West
