A SUCCESSFUL MEETING.
The Omaha Exposition and County
 Seat Removal Considered.

In spite of the inclement weather last Friday night the double meeting called at the opera house was fairly well attended and in every way sue cessful. Mayor Carder was chosen chairman and Col Byers secretary, and MT. James, as commissioner of the state, presented the Omaha expo sition matter, followed by remarks from others
 The sentiment was favorable to having an exhibit from this section of country and Commissioner James was made chairman of committee of five, he to choose the other members, to have full charge of the exhibit from Mena.
 This matter being attended to J. H. Hamilton presented the county seat removal question and introduced Att torney w. R. Thurmond, who was here representing the M, K & T. Trust Company, and thls gentleman proceed ed to outline the situation, receiving
 
 hearty applause as he presented the Company's offer of block 24, located between Mena and De Queen streets just above the Hotel Mena, as loca- l tion for the court house, and a cash donation of $5, ,0DO to assist in building it. It was unanimously voted to ac- cept the offer, and petitions were at once presented and arrangements made for having them circulated over the county, asking the county court to call an election to vote on the proposition to move the county seat from Dallas to Mena
 These petitions will be resented to the county court at it's regular meet ing next Monday and an election or dered at a suitable date. A majority of the legal voters of the county vot- ing for the removal is all that is re- quired to secure it.

Cattle Thieves Arrested.

Deputy Sheriff Towe arrested a couple of parties Tuesday who are wanted up in the Indian Territory for cattle stealing. The arrests were made on account of letter received from Deputy Marshal Sam Minor of Talihina, I. T., giving description of the men.
 Marshal Abbott spotted the men on the streets yesterday and he and Mir. Towe had been shadowing them. They rode into town this morning from the farm of S. T. Bryant where they have been stopping for several days Mir. Towe finally arrested them as they were preparing to leave town. It was necessary to use his gun to con- trol one of the men but the other, who is an Indian only about 20 years old. offered no resistance. They will be held until they can be sent for. Their names are not known.

 The circumstances are unusually sad Mir Worrell came here about six months ago with his family. consisting of his aged father and mother, wife and eleven children. He took the position of express agent bought property east of town and built house which he hoped to pay for out of his salary. It was but short time until the cancer which caused his death, broke out on hls cheek and forced him to give up his position Since that his family has been in almost destitute circumstances A chance was given the many friends of the family to give aid, and quite a little sum of money was raised to as- sist them. The funeral services were held Sunday and the remains inferred in the White Oak cemetery.
 Mir. Worrell was a mason and the local lodge took charge of the services The family will probably go to Kansas Citu

The Coal Tar Boiled Over.

Those who rushed out on the street
 in response to the fire alarm Tuesday afternoon saw dense volumes of smoke pouring out over the roof of the frame building at the rear of the Carder block. All who saw it felt sure that a big fire was well under headway. But it proved to be not 50 serious. George Waldren, who was engaged in taring the roof of building back of the Carder block was boiling the tar in a tub set over an open fire in space about six feet wide between two frame buildings In an unguarded moment the tar caught fire and in an instant the space between the buildings was mass of smoke. .and flames. The fire boys were there but the credit of put ting out the fire is due to private par ties, who were on hand at first with fire extinguishers and hand grenades
 There is some dispute as to which had the greatest effect on the flames. Mir. Waldren says there was nothing but smoke and no fire until a hand

FOR MENA AND MT. MENA.
New Projects Outlined to Build up
 Both Places.


 Last Friday Land Commissioner F. A. Hornbeck, accompanied by his wife, Vice President Nolthemius of the NJ K. &5 T. Trust Company and small party of young friends passed through this city in private coach on their way to Port Arthur. With the party was Miss E. S. Mosher, Mir Stiwell's s private secretary, who went south with the party until they met the north bound passenger when she re. turned to Mena and remained over night, the guest of MT. and Mrs. J. P. Landes.
 Saturday morning, accompanied by A. w. St. John, Miss Mosher went to Mt. Mena meeting Superintendent George Mathews and wife, also Mrs l.. P. Curtis of Kansas City, who came down to decide definately about estab- fishing young ladies' school, either at Mt. Mena or Mena.
 The party passed the day at Mt Mena-in the clouds-planning for the rapid completion of the Mt. Mena Inn, the erection of fifteen or twenty cot tages for the use of guests. the grad ing of streets, beautifying the parks and grounds. being nicely entertained by Mr. and Mrs. J. $. Broughton.
 Mir. and Mrs Mathews returned to Karcac C;fxy bx tba auapinr tro;x, aoI Mrs. Curtis came on to Mena to formu- late her plans and is now here the guest of Mir. and Mrs. E M. Green. Mrs. Curtis desires to establish a boarding school for young ladies and while highly pleased with Mt. Mena as a location, contemplating using the not in use as a summer resort, for her school. sine is at the same time favora bly impressed with Mena and we be- lieve that if proper encourag ement is giveu by those of our people most in- terested she will choose this place. She has already received encourage
 
 companies and if she locates will erect brick building costing not less than 1000, with the expectation of adding to it as the needs of the school will demand it in the near future.
 Mrs Curtis has only recently re. turned from trip to New York and Philadelphia in the interest of this project and has selected the faculty to conduct the school and has several pupils enrolled in case she determines to establish it. Having secured the endorsement and promise of aid from the officials of the railway and M. K. t T. Trust Companies about all that is needed now is the hearty encour- agement and promise of patronage from the people of Meua, to secure the location and success of the school and these she will surely have.
