stiu Too Dry For Good Work

Charlotte, N. C., Nov. 17.-A specal from Newton to the Observer tonight says: The promised showers failed to show up last night and the drought con- tinues. However, it is much cooler to- day and those engaged in the earlier field trials find tramping over the fislds much nrone pleasant than on previous days. The dogs also do better work StiM it is yet too warm and dry for the best results.
 The first series of the all age stake was concluded this morning, only ten dogs being run in this race yesterday leaving three braces this morning.
 The remainder of the day was occupied in running the second series of the all age, which is not yet concluded.

Blood May Be Shed

washington, Ind, Nov. 1.-The s.hdke of the Cabean company miners which has been on since last May is further from settlement than ever. A proposd- tJon submitted by the miners to the op- erators last evening was rejected. The operators have imported a number of negroes from Kentucky and 1t IS not improbable that bloodshed will result in the near future. As time passes matters are growing more serious. Miners with no food, fuel, or clota1ing, seeing theil places in the mines filled by non-ress1 dents and they colored, are on the yers's of desperation.

HOME SEEKERS ARE COMING
Fifty-Six of Them Arrived Here
 Yesterday.
THEY WILL TILL HE SOIL
Two Railroad Presidents Were in the City Yes terday-No Especial Significance
 News of the Rail.

Yesterday evening quite number of home-seekers passed through this city.
 One party of eighteen men came from Chicago and vicinity over the Louis vile and Nashville railroad. They are en route to Locksley, Baldwin county, where the South Alabama Immigration and Improvement company has located it's colony. They are a part of a crowd organized by Capt. P. Sid Jones.
 Another party of thirteen. also from the Louisville and Nashville. They are on their way to Anniston and Fruit hurst.
 A party of fifteen came in over the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham E road also en route to Anniston and Fruithurst.
 The fourth crowd consisted of eighteen persons. They are bound for Fitzgerald, Ga, and came in over both the Louis vile and Nashville and Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham roads. Today all will have gone to their re- speetive destinations to seek honas for themselves and families. They will fol- low farming as an avocation. Some of the party would have passed through some time ago but the existence of the yellow fever in the south detained them. In the entire party of fifty-six persons there were only three women and no children. The families of most of the men will remain at their former homes until their husbands establish themselves. Eventually these immi- grants will become land owners.
 SOUTHEE1N AFTER MORE ROADS.
 According to recent report among the railway men, well-informed rail- roaders contend that the Southern will ultimately secure control of the Mem phfs and Charleston railroad.
 When the great system was organized the three lines in this part of the coun- try most desired by the Southern were the Alabama Great Souih:rn, the Mem phis and Charleston and Cincinnati Southern. t :
 The Alabama Great Southern road has been secured, and 1t appears that the Memphis and Charleston is about to be added to the list. The Cincinnati South ern will be secured at the first opportu- nifty.
 Today the annual inspection of the Cincinnati Southern takes place. Presi- dent Spencer of the Southern will go over the road. safs! THE CHATTANOOGA SOUTHERN.
 The work on the extension of the lChat-- tanooga Southern will begin Feb. l. This at least is the latest informa tion al though General Manager W. s. Hoskins- of that road has refused to discuss the matter.
 MT. Hoskins made a short trip over the proposed route of the extension. Gadsden will undoubtedly be on the main line of the extension to Mon gom ry. MT. Hoskins will probably inspect other DOT tions of the route and then return to New York.
 COLORADO RATES REDUCED.
 The competition against the gulf roads has compelled a reduction in the freight traffic out of Chicago. Minneapolis and St. Paul to Colorado points. This reduc- tion is applicable to freight billed to Den yer, Pueblo, Trinidad and Colorado Springs only, and goes into effect Satur- day.
 The rates, with a comparative list or those formerly enforced are as follows:

THE COMMERCIAL CLIJB. BoARD0F DIRECTORS ELECTED.
 NEW -nEnBERs ENROLLED.
A VERY SUCCESSFUL BANQUET.
iNearly Two Hundred Plates Served oy the Committee of Ladies' uood Toasts and Pleasant
 Evening for All.

lh soclal way the citizens of Mena nave enjoyed many pleasures since the organization of our young city. and yesterday evening another grand snc- cess was scored by the banquet riven in honor of the newly elected board of directors of the Commercial Club.
 In accordance with the bv-laws the entire body of the Commercial Clpb met last evening-the second Tuesday In January-for the purpose of elect. ing the board of directors for the en- suing year. The meeting was called to order at 7:30 o'clock in the lobby of of Hotel Mena with President Geo. E. Wheaton in the chair Some time was occupied in reading important letters addressed to the Club from parties de- siring to establish different enterprises Tn our city. But, for the knowledge of so grand feast as the members knew was in store for them, little business was transacted with the exception of the election of those members as di- rectors in whose honor they ex- pected to gather at the banqueting hall.
 In the election everything went off nicely, and the following named gen. tlemen were selected as directors. J. Ii. Hamilton; J. r. Landes; Geo. E.. Wheaton; A. Gallagher: w l. Boyer: F. M. Reeves; c. A. Smith: " T. Matheny and Henry Glitsch. After eight new members were enrolled. all adjourned to the Steen hall, at about 10 o'clock, where they were received by the committee of ladies consisting of Mesdames E. M Green; Geo E. Whea- ton; ". A. Disbrow; A. J. Gibbs and A. Frady. Too many nice things can not be said about the lovely manner in which these ladies conducted the ban quet. Their work was faithfully done They were not discouraged by the lack of interest shown by citizens who should have taken the greatest in- terest. But regardless of the fact that even our highest city official refused to give any support, they went ahead and succeeded in serving nearly two hundred persons to as lovely banquet as could be wished for.
 After all the wants of the inner man had been satisfied, Col. Landes acting as toast master. called or a mum Der of of those present, who responded with well chosen words upon the different subjects assigned to them
 In this manner the time was pleas antly spent until after midnight, when all departed expressing their thanks for the lovely manner Tn which the ladies served them.
 There will be meeting tonight of the new board of directors to elect their officers, and transact any other business coming before the board. After such a successful and pleasant start on the new year, much should result from the work of the Commer- cial Club.

Carlsbad Water
a Natural Alternative

Carlsbad Water is in no sense
a mere purgative, as most people
believe, but is an Alternative and
eliminative remedy, which dis
solves tenacious bile, allays irrita-
ton and removes obstruction by
aiding nature, and not by sudden
and excessive stimulation, as most
cathartic remedies do. It's action
is certain and cure when effected
is permanent. Not infreQuently
patients have to use the Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt, in addition to the
water, as laxative.
Beware of limitations. The gen.
uine Carlsbad Water and Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt must have the seal
of the City of Carlsbad and the
signature of "Eisner & Mendelson
Co., sole agents, New York" on
every label.
