A SAD AFFAIR
Another Che of Rev. Anderson's Children Down With Smallpox.

Another case of smallpox is re- ported in Rev J. A. Anderson g household.
 The victim this time is his little ve-year-old daughter, Louise. who doubtless contracted the disease from her sister, Mss Lillian, who is just slowly recovering from an att tack of that dreaful maady.
 Rev. Anderson and his family have been quarantined for the past two weeks and are unable to get servants, which makes the labors of the household fall to the lot of Mrs. Anderson, who is almost broken down with anxiety.
 The situation is indeed one to be regretted by their many friends and the sympathy of the community goes out to the afflicted family.

WILL ORGANIZE INTO A PRO- TECTIVE ORDER NEXT
 TUESDAY NIGHT.
THE ORGANIZER IS HERE
One of the Most Beneficial Union Orders in the Country
 Its Object.

The retail clerks, of this city, are going to organize.
 MT. G. M. Mosher, tbe organizer of the local orders of the Retail Clerks International Protective As sociation, is in the cify for that purpose and informs us that be has very fattering prospects for the success of his undertaking.
 There will be an informal meeting of leading clerks in this city at the Merrill institute next Tuesday eve ins at o'clock. Mr. Mosher will be present and make known his ob- iect.
 The Retail Clerks international Protective Association is becoming one of the strongest union orders in the States. The organizer wishes to state that this order is simply for the purpose of bringing together more closely the clerks of this country. It is an order, which, when tnroughly organized, is bene- fcial, not only to the clerks. but their employers as well. It's bene fits are greater for it's members than any other organization in the world. It's protection, so he says, is unexeelled and offers great in dueements to all.
 The objects of the clerks organi- zation mentioned above, has been explained to us. There is nothing so far as we can see, that is objec tiocable to the business nem and the public at large. On the other .hand it has been proven that the mer- chants realize the benefits of suct an organization and the protection is mutual.
 The clerks order has a fund from which sick benefit is taken. The death benefit comes from the head quarters of the IE ternational.
 The growth of the Clerks Protec- tive Association has been simply wonderful. During the year '99 over 300 local orders were thorough ly organized in the United States, and reports excellent progress.
 It is earnestly hoped that there will be large attendance at the initial meeting to be held at the Institute Tuesday night. The sales ladies are especially and cordially invited to join the salesmen in their effort to organize.

Constable Al. J. Stewart, after much worry and expense, returned Saturday morning with Simoo Smith, alias Slick, aud Will Shan non, two negroes. who. it is alleged, robbed c. Voss & Bros. establish. ment in this city few weeks. ago. and carried away over s400 in valu. ables.
 The men were captured at Green. vile, Miss, but Mr. Stewart found much trouble in securing the re- quisition papers and through his efforts he ! recovered about sl5O or $200 worth of the stolen prop erty.
 One oi the men admits bis guilt in assisting in the robbery but says he did not enter the store. He told MT. Stewart that he waited at the Cotton Belt yards near the shops while partner, John Branuon, en- tered the building and brought the goods down the track distance of almost nile, to him. This negro is Simon Smith, alias Slick. The negro Brannon, who gwas the real and only one of the two that enter ed the store was arrested at Helena on local charge, but through some habeas corpus proceeding, Ee secur-. ed his release aud took Q quiet sneak.
 He has over bali of the stolen property and his whereabouts is still unknown. The guilty prisoner
 here is Smith. Mr. StewY. is con i fdent taat Will Shannon was not ir any way connected with the robbery. He had some of the stolen property but says it was given to him to sell, by Smith. The latter does not deny this.

fFlGNED SUPREME AT THE sAwYER 8 AUSTIN PLANT
 LAST FRIDAY.
AO.-KANSAS LUMBERMEN
With Their Families Received and Banqueted by Their Brother Lumbermen.

s The red star. the emblem or trade mark of the Sawyer & Austin Llm- Der Company, glittered brightly al their plant in the western part of this city last Friday Afternoon.
 The occasion, as was stated in a Mays Graphic, was the reception tendered tbe members of the Mis- souri Kansas Lumbermen's s A Associa. tion, who recently adjourned con Mention at Kansas City and were en reute to New Orleans on d pleasure trip.
 There were $50 of them, including their wives, mothers, sisters and children. They travelled in special tram ofseight Pullman palace cars, and a jollier, more representative crowd of people never visited our city. They stopped over, as we have heretofore stated to enjoy a Banquet served at the mi.l-site by the uospitabIe and progressive mem- bers of the Sawyer 6 Austin Com pany.
 It was one of the most cordial re- eeptions and enjoyable banquets. so the President of that Association Stated, that they had sat down to Since they left home. It was indeed a rare treat. Mr. S. H. Russell, the Secretary of our new concern, acted las toastmaster In many respects he reminded us of ChaunceY Depew. AHis aristocratic oratory and bearing #soon caught the applause of the Hundreds present. He ia gentle man of learning and an orator of no slight ability. He presided with honor to himself and his company. After welcoming the guests MT. Russell related d little story about the origin of the name "Pine Bluff, , and concluded by introducing whom he called the greatest "BIutfer" in the city-Mayor ". E. Alexander. The Mayor delivered welcome ad- dress on behalf of the city. His talk was well spoken and highly en- joyed.
 Mr. Russell then introduced the Hon. Clifton R. Breckinridge. ex- ambassador to Russia, and ono of the States greatest orators. His delivery on this occasion was per- feet and he was received with much enthusiasm. Mr. Breckinride said: st'Ladies and Gentlemen-One cannot fail to be be impressed with with the marked difference between. the appearance of the Arkansas traveller of today and the historic, solitary horseman of forty or fifty years ago. What would the old gentleman think if he came along now and stumbled upon this crowd? Simply to ask the question, is to suggest all the changes of time.
 Why even in my day, and I beg the ladies to believe that it is not a very long one, the charge has been to make this scene both a marvellous and a delightful one. When I

SlslAC dSAS hSNSOA ANtb VI AO1 plantation improvement There were no mills, or at least in con venient reach, and we set up a small one on the plantation. Train. ed men were even scarcer than mills, and I had to become the head sawyer. The first thing I did was to break my back. The second thing was to break my pocket book, and then the hum of that industry ceased.
 'One thing learned very thor ougly as my back began to fail, and that was to soldier at my end of the log; aud the old darkey at the other end remarked the interesting phen- omenon that the logs got heavier as the season advanced. He often wished for turn at the sap.
 "Gentlemen, you, like our genial hosts here today, have brought great ability and power to this business. They have been sadly stricken in valued and beloved associates, by accident aud sudden death; but they have not failed of the affectionate sympathy of their newly made friends and neighbors, of new power aud ability to push forward without days interruption with their great undertaking, now in that regard and consideration of others which so marks their genlal pitality today. We recognize in you, gen. tlemen, the power that makes a country great. And one thing more, gentlemen, we recognize in these ladies of your party the divine power that makes you great. It is they who give gentle, humane aud lofty purpose to your masterful ef- forts. We wish them and you a happy con ntlnuation of your journey, safe return to your homes, and for ourselves, that we may have the pleasure and privilege of meeting you again.
 h behalf of the visitors Mr. Jo- seph Costello, President of the Asso- citation, esponded with very neat talk and heartily thanked the Mayor and the Sawyer & Austin people for their kindness.
 The visitors were then escorted over the plant, which is one of the largest and best equipped in the South. Souvenirs in the form of cigars and handsome decks of cards, the latter bearing the company's i'm print, were given the visitors pres ent. The train bearing the merry party departed late in the afternoon for New Orleans.
 The officers of the association are: Joseph Costello, Liberty, Mo-, pres ident; Robert Pierce, Topeka. Kan, vice-president; Harry A. Gorsuch, Kansas City, secretary; Geo. D. Hope, Kansas City, treasurer.
 A prominent member present was H. c. Taylor, who will be a candi- date for the office of governor of Kansas on the Republican ticket.
 The reception and banquet were the most succes stul and elaborate ever given in this city.
 The Sawyer & Austin Lumber Company are kings in their line and Pine Bluff people feel proud in hav- ing them as well as their plant To- cated here.
