Returned From Port Arthur.

A. F. Rust, Superintendent of the Maintainence of Way, of the Pittsburg & Gulf, returned Sunday, from att tending the big celebration at Port Arthur, on the occasion of the compile tion of the big canal. To repre- sentative of the Star, he stated that there was about 5000 visitors there, the town being full to overhowing. Among these were the governors of Arkansas, Louisiana, Kansas and Tex as, also that Vice President Martin and Attorney M. A. Braley, were among the officials of the road present but neither Mir. Stilwell or Mir. Gillian, were there.
 Mr Rast stated that it was the in- tention to have the four governors of the states named above. assist in the formal opening of the canal, with four silver shovels, but fears of another in- junction being served, caused the com pany to hasten it's work and open the canal few days ahead of the day set, so this interesting feature of the cele- bration was not had.

at Washington show from the ex- pcriments made very satisfactory results have accrued, and that the main difficulties to overcome are the poor roads found in many sec- tions. The Arkansas Gazette re- ferring to the subject says:
 ''The increase of the appropria- ton for the free delivery of mail in the rural districts from $50, ,000 to $300,000 is an indication that the service is a success. Arkan- sas will not be benefited to any very great extent by the service by reason of the bad roads, which is great impeachment to the de- livery of mails in the country. The people of Arkansas will never get in close communication with each other until the road problem is solved"

The Eddleman Saw Mills.

w. A. Eddleman. who moved his saw mill in from the country recently, has his machinery all set now and will start his saws the first of next week. He now has several thousand feet of ogs at the mill and will probably run night and day when his mill is started. Mr. Eddleman pays cash for his logs and cash for labor, never asking any one to patronize poorly kept commis- sary. The Star welcoms such enter prise to our city and bespeaks success

Illinois Men Here.

The north bound passenger yester- day afternoon, brought in some Hi nois men who had been down to Port Arthur and were on their way home. Those in the party were. C. w. Beck and J. H. Hays, of Monmouth; J. M. Tharp, F. T. Brooks. Henry Willard and Dr. H. G. Kampon, of Kirlswood, and Adam Christ of Raneton. They will spend few days looking at this country and may decide to locate here. In company with Star reporter, they were shown over the city, and all were liberal in speaking words oi praise for Mena and her promoters.

Died From a Burn

A few weeks ago Mrs. Wintemute, mother of Jacob Wintemute. who lives eight miles from Hatfield, was out piling and burning brush, and in some way her clothing came in contact with the blaze and she was severely burned. Medical aid was summoned but the old lady was so badly burned that she died from the effects, and was buried Fri day. Editor Jaques rode out to attend the funeral.

Commissioners Meeting.

The court house commissioners met Wednesday afternoon and spent some time looking over the work on the county buildings and approved all that had been done so far. They dis cussed the slate roof question, but did not decide defnately but deferred act ion until further development could be made. The probability is, however, that slate roofs will be put on and that it will be Polk county slate.

John l.. Cramer, Esq.,, the Citl zens' candidate for city attOn ey is alawyer of fine dttsinmehts aa : man of sterling integrity ana moral worth, respected by all who know him. He was born in Attn ems, Ohio, in May 1869, came west Tn 1884 and received his education in the schools of Kansas, graduat- ing from the high school at Valley Falls, Kansas, in 1887, after which he attended the Kansas State Uni versity, graduating from the law HueDartment of that institution in 1895. After practicing his pro- fession in Chicago, ILL, and Day ton. Ohio, for some time, he came to Mena in the spring of 1898, and identified himself with the business interests of our young city.

 Mrs. Towsley, of Denver, Col, who has been guest of the Fuller Cottage, on Spring street, for several months, has taken upon herself most noble work-that of trying to uplift the rough. uncouth beggar boys in this city. She has opened, as it were, a 'school of manners, and a number of these ragamuffins attend her school daily. The boys call her "The Good Lady" The other ladies of the cot tage assist Tn feeding the pupils. Mrs. Towsley's idea is, that while it Is true some of these beggars are entirely un- sworthy, they can never be better un- less they be taught. She has also undertaken to teach them to read and write. Mrs Fullar says the boys who come there certainly have improved in manners. Eureka Springs Fashlight

It is observed much to the satis- faction of all respectable people that since Sheriff Johnson has been given charge of the notorious character called ''Red" no official has taken the liberty without war rant of law to turn her loose to parade our streets in male attire and otherwise disgrace our city and its administration. Sheriff Johnson evidently does not believe in mas. querading of that kind, and the Democratic party of this county will not hesitate to be responsible for his acts, whatever may be the result in city matters.

WHO MlsREPREsENTED2

Last Friday the Star published what purported to be contract between the city of Mena and the county of Polk, regarding the lease of a room in the court house now being built, and stated that the lease as published was of no value. What we published, as the contract was taken from the daily Democratic organ of this city, and reproduced word for word as given to the readers of that paper, unquestionably for the purpose of defining the action taken in the premises.
 In a later issue of that paper we are denounced for misrepre- senting the situation in the fol lowing words: s'The contract as referred to was falsely printed by St. John in his paper on Friday, thus continuing his method of lie ing as adopted by him, especially of recent date" and following this article appears new, or at least another contract which we takc for granted is the correct one.
 Below. side by side, we present the two contracts as taken from the daily Democratic organ of this city upon different dates, and leave the public to draw its own conclusions.

There must be vast amount of filth and corruption in the minds of those who run the News to enable them to spew so much of it out upon their immediate sur roundings; but none of 1t ever reaches us. The Star shines clear and bright above all such, and cannot get down to any such level.

Considerable complaint comes from the Board Camp neighbor- hood regarding the arrival or rather the non-arrival of mail matter. Subscribers to Mena papers state that papers mailed here on Thursday do not reach that postoffice until the Wednes- day following, when they should surely reach there by Saturday, it being but twelve miles distant The postal department should investigate this matter and as- certain why it takes nearly one week for papers to go distance of twelve miles, and see if the 4ronble cannot be remedi, d.

It is barely possible that 1t was the Republican end of the News that published one "contract" and the Democratic end that published the other, and we suggest this theory to the kind consideration of our friend, Judge Matheny, as a possible solution of the alleged misrepresentation. Some may be unkind enough to suggest that the longer and more formal contract was arranged after the defects in the other one had been exposed, but we do not for they are all honorable men.
 One thing, however, must be understood. It was the short and loosely worded contract that we criticised and that good attorneys pronounced yalueless.
 Our readers can readily under stand how good attorneys could correctly pronounce the first as valueless; and the same attorneys , 'ronounce the second as legal and hh;n ding; but the fact remains that tha k Tews, while posing as the or gan of he Democratic ticket, pub i;sheyI th, first as the contract with 2 view, re,.. uestionably to show its readers what a good bargain had haa, ,ooJo au, if our comments on it has caused it to be properly presented to the 'ublic, we are content, no matter if We were ac- cused of misrepresentat etc.
