THAT BOY AGAIN.
This Time he Reads an Essay on Pants
and Makes Trouble.

That Hot Springs boy we recent
ly mentioned, who recently edited
his class with composition on
'heds' was this week suspended
from school day, Tor reading the
following essay on pants"
"Pants were made for men, not
men for pants, Women are made
for men not for pants, When a
man pants for a woman and wo-
man pants for a man they are a
pair OF pants Such pants do not
last, Pants are like molasses-they
are thinner in hot weather and
thicker In cold. The man in the
moon changes his pants during an
eclipse, Don't 90 into the pantry
for pants you may be mistaken,
Men are often mistaken in pants.
Such mistakes make breaches OF
promise. There has been much
discussion as to whether pants IS
singular or plural Seems to me
when men wear pants they are
plural, and when they don't wear
any they are singular, Men go on
a tear in their pants and 1t is all
right but when the pants go on a
tear it Is all wrong"

BUSINESS is SUFFERING.

Texarkana, Tex, Sept. ga
marked depreciation in the general
business of this section is being felt
in consequence of the yellow fever
scare andits incidental restrictions,
At the outset there was a steady
manifestation of an active and lu.
crative tall trade, which came to a
sudden and determined cessation at
least ten days ago. The demorali-
cation is still on and the prediction
is made that the business of this
part of the country will be demor-
allied for at least two months. -
Iexarkana correspondent Dallas
News,
Go away from home to find the
news, is what we are sometimes told
to do by some of our kicking sub
scribers. The above is an example
of the kind we are treated to.
While some branches of business
may be suffering perhaps, the bus
mess OF the correspondent is en-.
gagged in-the general business Of
the city is better than 1t has been
for years at this season of the year.
The dry, dusty weather, the yellow
fever reports or McKinley's pros
perity does not act to keep us back
as intimated by our friend, the cor
respondent, but our city is forging
ahead as II nothing in the outside
world was happening to keep 1t
back,
There Is more building going on
here now than at any time during
the year, besides we have several
gangs Of men employed on sewer
work, and notices posted up over
the city, asking for from 30 to 500
hands at a time to work at railroad
building or tie making, which shows
which way the straws are blowing
Besides all OF this the farmers come
in here with cotton, corn, potatoes,
sorghum molasses, eggs, butter,
chickens, fat hogs and beef cattle
to sell, and proceed to spend the
money for merchandise and other
necessities We have besides at
least one thousand men who draw
pay from the various railroads run-
ming In here, several foundrlee and
machine shops, saw mills and coop
erage factories, all to turn their
money loose In the city once a
month, aud 1t ls spent right In our
city We lear the Dallas News cor
respondent Is a pessimist and looks
too much on the dark side OF all
subjects, coming before his eyes
We hope he will grow more hopeful
when he Is dIsbing out hB next 90
cents worth Of rot TO the Dallas
News, and give our city a send off
more deserving,

came in from Shreveport yester-
day, and he tells us that Bossier
Parish voted on the question of
giving his road, the Texarkana a.
Shreveport, which is to be known
in the future, as the Red River
Valley Route, a handsome bonus,
and that this being the last par
ish to vote on the question the
company of which he is a member
will now use all dligent haste in
pushing the road south from
Shreveport to Coushatta a distance
of 80 miles, and that they hope to
have the same completed in a very
short time and trains running,
Chief engineer Otis is the gentle
man at the head of the engineering
corps, and he found it necessary to
buy complete camping outfit for
himself and men as they will be in
the field for some days in stalking
out the road south from Shreve-

Mr., Collins says as soon as work
is fairly under way south of Shreve-
port a gang of men will be put to
work on the road south Of Dod-
bridge, and that work will begin in
earnest to close the gap between
Texarkana & Shreveport,
The Valley route will run through
as fine country as crow ever
flew over and It's completion will
help both this city and Shreveport,
The completion of this line will give

ENGINEER KILLS
 NEGRO FIREMAN On An L. $ \. Train Near OXmOOF
 Last Night. THE STEAM HAD GIVEN OUT When the Negro Was Ordered to Stir
 Up the Fire. HE ATTACKED THE ENGINEER Shooting at Him Once and Then Cutting Him Severely in the Breast-Engineer Ran
 Back to the City and
 Surrendered.
HE ATTACKED THE ENGINEER

E. P. Bishop, engine r on the first sec
 ton of freight train No 25. on the Louis vile and Nashville railroad shot and killed Wiley Clay, his negro fireman, at 10:30 o'clock last night. The shooting
 occurred a few miles south Of the city,
 near Oxmoor, while the train was in
 motion.
 The first section of No. 9 left the
 city at 10:15 o'clock last night for Mont
 gomery When Mag Ella was reached
 the negro was told to fire the engine, but insolently refused to leave his seat
 on the left of the engine. Just below this point is heavy grade and the en- zine almost came to a standstill for want of steam. Clay was again told to stir up the fire and it is said that he sulkingly got off his seat and drawing
 his pistol, fired One shot at Engineer Bishop, and then attacked him with a
 knife, severely lacerating his left breast.
 Engineer Bishop struggled with the ne- gro and reaching for his gun he fired one shot, striking the negro in the breast, killing him instantly. The engine was detached from the train and run back to the city by Engi-
 neer Bishop with the dead body of the negro aboard. When the city was
 reached Mir. Bishop, accompanied by seY- enal friends walked to the police stlattc11
 whens he related th9 circumstances and stated that he dssLl1ad to surrender.
 Captain Will Weir sent hm to the county jaiI with Officer Culpepper, where Dr. Gillespie, the county physician, was summoned and dressed his wounds. It was found that there were ten or twelve cuts on his breast, ranging from one-half to t'hrSe inches long and about
 onehalf inch deep His vest, shirt and
 undershfrt were cut into shn-ds and his wach chain, which hung on the left side was also haggled, and probably saved l his life.
 MT Bishop rzsdts in this city and is | known>sas a peaceabla and industrious l man.

SOME FINE LEGAL POINTS
May Be Developed in the Highland Avenue
 and Belt Case.

The resolution passed by the city coun- c.l at its meeting Wedn sday night, seek ing to annul the franchise of the High land Avenue and Belt Railroaod com pany, may develop some interesting le- gal points.
 The Highland Avenue and Belt Rail- road company is in the hands of a re- ceiver appointed by the district Unfied States circuit court and the question naturally arises, What would be the out come of such action by the city authori- ties?
 An injunction would no doubt be grant ed by the United States court restraining them from carrying such action into ef- feet.
 1t was the consensus of opinion among attorneys seen yesterday that the city would be restrained by an Injunction and forced to institute their grievances in le- gal procedure in the United States court.
 Application was made to the court not long since by the receiver of the High land Avenue and Belt Railroad company for the privilege of issuing receivers cer- tificates in order to raise money to make repairs, but no order has ys, bsen made in reference to the matter.
 Phillip Campbell of Sheffield, the re- ceiver of the road, is represented here by A. Latady, who was out of the city yes terday.

PLUMBERS UNDECIDED.
Don't krow What Further Action Will Be
 Taken Against the City.

The local plumb rs have not decided what action they will take in the fight made against the <elty's plumbing in- speoltor. The exoneratlon of City Engi- neer Julian Kende.ck ends the matter for the time being.
 Although th's is appauent and ad- mittsd as far as tine plumbers are con cernsd, Mr Kendrlck has not let up .n his fight against the plumbers for alleged violations of the city ordinance. He has detrmi1asd to be as wa,chful as ever.
 w. c. Lunslcrd was arrested recently for violating the amendsd section of the code pertaining to plumbers w'ark. It is claimed that he made a sewer connection without securing a permit
 Colonel Tanner. of ths law firm of Dem son & Tanner has represented the plumbers in tbs courts. He will continue to do so.
 "The plumbeers have no fight against MT. Kendrick." said Colonel Tanner yes terday. All they desire. is a practical plumbing inspector. They have no man to put forward for that plaes and any practical man will be acceptable to them.
 '"rhe charges against MT. Lunsford, am told grew out of work done by him between the time the other tssit eas@s were tried and when Judge Feagin an n.aInced his decision. The case will be appealed.
 The cases against MT Lunsford have been set for trial today.
