THE MOZARTS.
A Feast of Music at the Merrill
 Tns stitute Last Night.

The musical concert given by the Mozart Symphony Club at Merrill Institute last (Thursday) night was attended by a large audience.
 The company is one of the most popular that comes to this place, and as usual everybody was delight ed with tte program. The mem bers of the company are all musi. clans of renown. Her Theodore Hoch, the cornetist, always fills his audience with enthusiasm, while Miss Gumear's purest and sweetest of voices and her charming manner never fail to captivate her audience.
 The company appeared here under the auspices of the Wonan's Auxili ary and a good sum was realized by them.
 Miss Gumaer is especially a favor. ite in Pine Buff By special re- quest she sang three numbers on the program instead of two, and each time was compelled to respond to heartiest encores. So charmed is Miss Gumaer with her Pine Bluff friends and their kind treatment, that she has given a large photo graph of herself which will be fram- ed and hung in the parlor of the In- stitute.

TEN MEN INJURED
BY THE COLLAPSE OF A LUMBER
 KILN.
A Large Number of WOrkmen Buried Under the Ruins and Grief and Excite ment Reign At
 TeXarkana.

TEXARKANA, March 3.-About 1 o'clock this afternoon large steam dry kiln at the Central Coal and Coke saw mill tumbled in, seriously wounding a number of workmen, two of whom will die.
 The kiln was sixty by ninety feet. and cost $S,000. In it were thirty nine cars, each containing an aver age of 5, ,OG0 feet of lnmber The east wall tumbled in and crushed the kiln and contents westward, making complete wreck. Large timbers, sheet iron and lumber and railroad iron were bent and twisted in a shapeless manner.
 After the crash other workmen were soon at the place and soon liberated ten of the workmen who were caught by thecrush. Foreman Howard says the brick wall had been cracked for n week and hehour- ly expected it to fall. Today he set his men at work to empty the kiln before it fell, but had hardly moved the fist car before the wall swung in. He called to his men to fly for their lives, but the order was to late and the massive building cayed in upon them.
 At the first crash an alarm was turned in to the fire companies and the firemen were soon on the scene. In connection with the mill seryice1 several streams were soon playing on the ruins and the fire which had started immediately after the col lapse of the building was soon cx- tinguished.
 Great excitement prevailed and hundreds of people gathered around the place.
 The Central Coal and Coke Com pany seems very unfortunate. Only a few monthsa go they suffered q loss of $1000O0 on burning kilns and the one that fell today was the one that had been replaced.
 All employees had been informed of the dangerous condition of the wall and had beeh warned to watch out for it and what was intended as an effort to save an amount of prop erty in lumber and ears will result in almost slaughter of human beings.

MT, Royce Says He Does Not Sell Subscribers Papers but Has Plenty to Supply the De.
 mand

EDITOR GRAPHIC:-The article pub lished in yesterdays GRAPHIC stating that the representative of the St. Louis papers had refused to serve 200 people with papers because they could sell all furnished by the pub fishers for 5 cents, is positively de- nied. No one has been refused by us that there was hope of collecting from. We pay boys all the time for each subscriber and have always done so and of course will continue to do so. It is fact that each sub scriber's paper has been counted out by the carrier and the news-stands supplied before any boy is allowed on the streets to sell for 5 cents q copy. The public may subscribe with clear understanding that they will not be deprived no matter how hot the war news gets. It snot yet decided and may get hotter than ever, but the Boyce News Co. will serve you as usual, and not sell your papers for 5 cents each. The GRAPHIC has undoubtedly been mis- informed by some one knowing noth- ing about the business, as such is of ten the case with newspapers.

LITTLE ROCK EVANGELIST
Taught Young Miss0uF1an How to Behave Himself
 En Church.

Some time ago Eld. c. r. J. Tate was holding a meeting nt Aurora, Mo-, and was disturbed bya hollow headed fellow who persisted in talk ing in a low tone while the minister was preaching. Bro. Tate paused several times, thinking the fellow would take so hint and behave him self; but it was all to no purpose Finally the preacher went down the aisle to where the young man sat took him by the coat collar and marched him out of the church. He then returned to the pulpit and fin ished his sermon, The paper from which this information was clipped says there wasn't a person in the house that wasn't glad that the preacher did what he did. Tate is a fine evangelist and knows how to manage a congregation. Baptist Review.

NEW EVERETT PIANO,


 It is 0 well-known fact that no pianos have stood the hard South ern climate as well as the Everett, but the new improved Everett of 1897 has surpassed all pianos, in artistic tone, touch and beautiful cases: they have created sensation in the musical world, and by investi- gatiDg you will find that they are absolutely the highest grade of pianos now on the market. l am determined to have the piano trade of Arkansas. I have dropped prices, and will sell you a nice upright piano from $40 up, and the high grade Everett for $50 less than factory re- tail prices. J. .. WoMBLE.
 Some of these pianos are on exhi- bition at Mitchell's on Main street. You are cordially invited to call and inspect them. 2-6 & W lmo.
