The reporter, while awaiting a
park car yesterday afternoon, at
the corner Of State aud Broad
streets, saw an exhibition not
down on the program or an every
day occasion, Directly overhead
the side walk and street at this
point is a net work of wires belong
ing to the telephone and electric
light companies here, the telephone
wires being raised above the elec.
tnc wires. The wind was blowing
quite hard and swayed a telephone
wire TO an electric light wire below,
and In an instant the wires began
TO Jump about in an eraticmauner,
and all at once a big ball OF fire
shot out from the point Of connect
and a dull explosion followed, The
telephone wire was burnt in two
and fell TO the street below

ONE DOLLAR PER MILE.

A flying special passed through
here last night from Hot Springs to
Houston, Texas, with a single oc-
cupant, outside of the conductor.
The passenger was from Hot
Springs and was bound for Hous-
ton, Texas, and we learn had paid
the railroad company one dollar
per mile.
AS it is about 500 miles from the
starting point to the flying mans
mecca, it will be seen that he Is
paying a good sum for his fast ride.
We could not learn from our infor
mant what induced the gentleman
to take such a hastY and costly
trip, and we are left to conjecture.
He may have found it cheaper
travelling than to pay hotel bills at
the Springs, or he may be one of
those business men who have more
irons in the fire than he can look
after, and if on his way to Texas to
pull one of them out, or it may be
he has some loYed one sick and is
fastening to the bedside. If the
latter is the cause, we feel deeply
for him, but if either of the other
causes prevail, we can only say that
his hasty trip is d wise one, for it
takes an unlimined bank roll to
keep up appearances at Hot
Springs, and a hasty fight, even as
dollar a mile is saving money, ard
every one knows that too many
irons in the financial fire is apt to
consume a mans money and make
it fly as the chaff before a wind.

Recently the blue and gray held
a grand reunion at Cincinnati
Over 30, 900 ex Confederates attend
ed aud a great time was had by
both blue and gray, renewing old
and new associations and fighting
over the battles of the sixties. The
veterans OF the union army from
every state, Morgan's raiders and
Kirby Smiths men mingle together

hatred of the past is being forgot

Germany Takes Us For Geese

1t is stated again in the dispatch
es that the interests of the United
S!atesln the'Philippines are threat
eued by the Germans, and that
orders have been issued at Wash
ington for reinforcenents to be
sent to O.is aud Dewey, at Manila,
to check the Germans on any
movement they may make against
our government in any of these
islands. If Germany thinks we are
all geese" oyer here, the only way
for her to be convinced otherwise
is to try and hold one of the most
insignificant islands in the Philip
pine groop without the consent Of
our Uncle Samuel, and the Dutch
mind will soon be disabused of the
fact.

A Great English statesman's Secret.

The secret of a celebrated English
statesman's long life was his syste-
metic way of eating Every bite of
food was chewed thirty times before
swallowing. The result was he ma
turally enjoyed good health. Most
men and women bolt their food, and
eat things which we're never intend
ed to be eaten, They become cos
tive, have a bad complexion, lose
flesh, are irritable and nervous, and
the first thing they know they are
played out" 1t is gratifying to
know that Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters cures stomach troubles. 1t is
purely vegetable medicine that
has stood the test of many years
Sufferers from any disorder of the
stomach, liver or bowels should try

Yardmaster Carmichael Resigns.

Yardmaster Carmichael after a
quarter of century of services as
yardmaster at this place in the en-
ploy of the Iron Mountain and
Texas & Pacific roads, has resigned
and his place has been filed by Mr..
W. G, Hall, former yardmaSter at
Little Rock.
Mr.. Carmichael is well liked by
those men under him and as mat
ter of course they will be panied to
lose him. Mr.. Hall is said to be a
clever man and we hope he will re
tain the present force in the yards
here, as most if not all the men
have been employed for years in
their present positions and under
stand thoroughly what is expected
of them.
We do not know what business
Mr. Carmichael will embark in, but
we assure him he has the best
wishes of Texarkana behind him in
any calling he may choose. We
welcome Mr.. Hall as a citizen and
trust he will take to our city
kindly.
