STRUCK 4 BONANZA.
Capt. Jeff Hicks of This City, Fur
 nishes Marshall, Its Water.

Our friend, Capt. Jeff Hicks, of Pine Bluff, president of the Arkansas X Texas Ice and Coal company, spent last Saturday night in this city on his return to his home ill Pine Bluff from Marshall, Texas, where ne has an ice factory and other interests. Capt. Jeff has just struck bonanza in the way of an artesian well at Marshall that yields 250 GOO gallons of water per day, the supply being inexhaustible. Marshall has always been shy on water, and for years the Texas & Pacific railway company has been boring away and spending thousands of dollars in a fruitless attempt to de lst what Capt. Jeff accomplished iL less ths.n twenty hours, which goes to show that the goddess of fortune (as well as other fair damsels) loves to smile on the gallant captain. It was this way: The soul.ess water corporation at WI dISDdil W ClS SoPAs cCh D AN NS until it ached, for water tolls, and be resolved to submit to such op- precision, so he put in the necessary boring apparatus and employed an expert to manage it. and in twenty hours after the work ascomHIenced the boon he crayed was reaized,a and be now Las the water company just where they recently had him-in the soup. Captain Jeff was in the lobby of the Hotel Trulock at Pine Bluff when his agent telephoned him the good news, and feeling in his trouser pocket he found solitary nickel. all the wealth he had with him. This nickel he placed in the slot machine and won a box of fine cigars. Who would regret not having been born wealthy, with such luck as this2 Captain Jeff. we congratulate you - Camden Beacon.

 brass and steel exclusively. Its weight is 4500 pounds anG is thor. oughly equipped with fire tools. The beauty of this engine is that it is ready for use in ten seconds time. Photographs of the machine were displayed and the chair asked for questions regarding the matter.
 Mr. Dreyfus was again in favor of helping the city upbuild. He want ed everything that wonId make our city first class and naturally wanted the engine. He proposed that the city issue scrip or warrants at par, payable in one, two and three years This was protested by MT. Veil, wno said the city had out all the scrip it was able to redeem just now, but added that If the merchants would subscribe one-half of the money, he would venture to say that the coun- cil will assist, with scrip, for the other half.
 It was generally discussed ana believed that there will be big re- duction in insurance rates if the engine was secured. This has been proven in many cities. Little Rock purchased two engines and got re- duetion of 10 per cent. and F per cent. off at different times. "The merchants, MT. Wilkins said, would be willing to donate the amount of their insurance savings Gor the first year or more) for the purchase of the engine He said the c,ti- zsns could easily contribute $1,000 and the council will grant warrants for the other, $1.150 The price of the engine is g, 150. Chief Sen yard of the Fire department advises the city to make the purchase.
 Mir. Veil is confdant that our fire departments can operate the new machine with greater rapidity than in:other places for they have proven themselves experts in esponding to alarms with their present trucKs.
 City Treasurer Westbrook begged the league to leave the eity's money out of the proposed purchase for he said, we are running short of funds and they are even trying to reduce the saloon license $100.
 Mr. Arnold made a motion that a committee of five be appointed to canvass the merchants and get sub- scriptions of S5, $10 or $l5 each and thereby raise $1 GOO cash and then the council would do the rest by issuing scrip at par.
 This matter was reveiwed thorough ly and passed upon. The chair ap- pointed Messrs. Eugene Arnold, Chairman. o. Voss, J. B. Talbot, ". H. Westbrook and Simon Bloom as the committee. They will start to work at once.
 President Fred Fox ard Secretary E D. Russell presided at the meet ing.

The Advertising Car Not Meeting With Great Success---A League Meeting.

@ The executive committee Of the Pine Bluff Commercial League met at the leagues headquarSer on Plne Street Monday night for the pur- bose of discussing two enterprises the advertising car and the pur- chase of chemical engine for the City.
 MT. R. c. Wilkins was.a strong Advocate of the car and introduced sagerai good business-like schemes 1'7Gso z75o FIsise the stock for the car. He put forth many illustrations wher e he proved the advantages that South Arkansas had over other states and Especially the northern section of this state. He believed in adver- Using our productions generally. Mr. Isaac Dreytus was With him in the matter. Mayor Alexander did not approve of subscribing for stccx for the car. He said he believed the whole thing was smooth scheme and only the inventor would be ben. ef tied.
 The matter was further discussed and MT. Fox said he was of the opinion that other towns were deal ing with the proposed enterprise as slowly (fnaacially1 as Pine Bluff. However tLe matter was dropped for the time being and the matter af the proposed purchase of the Hhemical engine was taken pp.
 1Mr. George c. Hutchlngs, mana Yer of the fire extingulsher eompa- Jay, of Chicago, was present and Addressed the committee.
 ! The Champion chemical engine, the proposed purchase by our city, is the same as is being used in Chi cago, St. Louis, Dallas. Fort " th. Little Rock, Hot Springs, and in fact, in every city in the United States. The chiefs of all the above named city fire departments have written Mr. Ed D. Russell, the sec retary of the league, and testified as 10 the worth, promptness and dura bility of the engine.
 The capacity of the Cham pion is double 60 gallon cylinders, which contains sulphuric acid aad bicar. bonate of soda in different recepta- ces. When these chemicals ate mixed, they immediately extin- guish blaze aud evaporate, hence the household goods of home, or the conten: IS of store are not dam aged by water, which is not used in the machine.

its history. She is no6 in appear,
ance the aggressive type of women
who are usually referred to as the
new womaa, but On the contrary of
of a retiring disposition. That she
is more than ordinarily energetic is
shown. however by her work. In
speaking of her work she stated that
she had formerly been employed in
the postoliice at Warrington, but
was unable TO stand the work, and
accepted position in the Furbee
Insurance Office a year ago Mr..
Furbee's duties as cashier of the
First National bank at that place
make it impossible for him to give
much personal attention to the work
so she took complete charge of the
office At that time there was a
great deal ofinsuranee being carried
there which had been written by
Fairmont officer She believed in
advertising and at once placed ad
vertisements in the papers, and be-
gan an active canvass for the renew

not only in that Office. but in the
others especially ia the latter. She
is greatly pleased with her success
in this line and believes that It is a
field in which any energetic woman
