SOCIAL Happenings
at Lake HrieI

Captain Bowman II. McCalla, United
States Navy, who has just returned
home from the far East in command
ing the cruiser Newark. is planning
a visit to Lake Ariel for rest and to
enjoy the fishing there before assuming
command of the battleship Kearsage
20 which he has been ordered.
Captain McCalla is known as the
hero of Guantanamo bay, having par
ticipated in all the engagements there
during the Spanish American war as
commanding officer of the Tub of
Blood as the cruiser Marhlehead was
known. He afterward commanded the
American forces in the battle of Tien
Tsin. China, and led them in the relief
| of Pekin. His wife and daughter who

lake" course, which has proved so
popular.
| The course Is an admira ble one, pass

lake. There is considerable shade from
the magnificent trees by the wayside
and a cooling breeze from over the

finish, but those more leisurely inclined
find frequent resting places, and enjoy
stopping at some one of the many farm
houses for glasses of cool milk,
The course affords splendid wheeling

PRELIMINARY SURVEY Of Pine Bluff and Western Railroad Into Ben-
 ton. BENTON PEOPLE FEEL SURE THEY WILL GET THE
 ROAD. In Which Event 1t Will Be Lest 10 Malvern-Benton Will Offer
 Financial Aid.
ONLY OBSTACLE IS THE GRADE

A preliminary survey of the Pine Bluff and Western railroad from it's present terminus below Sheridan is being made into Benton with view of ascertaining the practicability of building that road to that point The engineer in charge. MT. Buchanan, was ill Benton and the Democrat of that city says that while preserving his non-committal demeanor, he inti- mated that the range of ridge, which extended along Holly creek, presented some engineering difficulties that would be hard to surmount in building the road.
 We are inclined to feel greatly elated that no more serious problem than this appears to present iself,' says the Democrat. ''Everybody now knows that the topography of a coun- try no longer deters railroads from OuIlolA6 u o pOi1O NhlSh lto dSSihN VI best for it's future business. If the Sand mountain and the Burlington hills. are the only obstacles in the way we feel safe in predicting the Pine Bluff Benton line as certainty ill the near future. We predict, however, that there is, and will be. a far more weighty matter than this to be taken into consideration before the road is permanently loeated-and that is, What encouragement and fnancial as sistance can we offer this road to come to us? We do not rejoice over our sister towns misfortune-far from it-but there is no longer any use to deny that the action of the Choctaw road. in it's allimportant ne cessity of acquiring the shortest pos sible mileage to Hot Springs, via But terfield, has permanently crippled Malvern, and unless the situation is soon changed there, a period is affiX- ed for all time to her material growth. For these reasons, Malvern and Hot Spring county should. as matter of self-preservation. offer the strongest possible inducement for this line 10 build to that point This makes t the more incumbent upon our town and county to strain every nerve to get the road for ourselves.

NOT EVEN 4 CIGAR TO BE HAD

For probably the first time within the history of Pine Bluff, Sunday was the first Sabbath celebrated in a law abiding way. In pursuance to the or ders of the prosecuting attorney all the saloons Of the city were closed early Sunday morning, and notwith- standing the tips of some of the "wise ones,' 1t is believed that all the sa- looms in the city were effectively closed.
 Prosecuting Attorney Sorrels issued later orders. between and 12 o'clock Sunday, and by noon the confection- cries of A. J. Mitchell and J. S. Alt schul were closed S. A. Rosenberg and F. M. Altschuls cigar stores were closed and the druggists refused to sell cigars to anyone The public did not know Saturday night that the cigar stores would be closed and the condition that presented itself to old and habitual cigar smokers Sunday morning was trying in the extreme.
 The state of affairs was attended by many Imaginable situations. To the casual observer the idosyncrasies of human nature were strikinglv eX- hibited.

 It is told Of one of Pine Bluff $ prominent business men that he be- came very desirous of cigar which he could not obtain. He met an um- brella Deddler on the streets who had side line of wild cat cigars. The gentleman struck bargain with the peddler. agreeing to buy an umbrella if the peddler would throw in a cigar and then buy the umbrella back at ten cents less than sold for The deal was consummated. and the bus mess man walked away puffing his wildcat product as if it were of the finest Nuelta Abajo stock.
 Many rlises were worked on some of the druggists who attempted to b. law abiding At one drug store. it is told that two nrominent business men walked in. and one of them engaged the proprietor in conversation in the rear of the store While this was transpirjng. the second business man walked behind the counter nnd helped himself to the cigars He whistled to his friend, who abruptly ended the conversation with the druggist and started to leave.

WOULD BAR CORSETS Movement For French Law to Bar Women Under 30
 Wearing Them. HYGlENIST SAYS PULMONARY DISEASE AND ORGANIC
 TROUBLES CAUSED. If Law Expresses Corsets the Scien- lists Will Next Go After Hats
 and Shoes.
STATE CONTROL TO BE ASKED

Paris, Nov. 25.-Dr Philippe Mare 1 chale is making every effort to have
 bill introduced into the chamber placing corset manufacturers under state control. Before crowded au- dience composed of physiologists and womens clubs Marechale declared that 25 per cent of young women who wear corsets die of pulmonary dis
 eases. 15 per cent suffer from organic derangement throughout their entire life, while only 30 per cent retain their health.
 A hygienie commission appointed by the municipality of Paris has al- ready taken so many steps to bring
 about the adoption of healthier cos
 tune by women that Dr. Marechale
 expects his bill to be strongly support ed
 The first article Of the proposed measure forbids women below thirty years to wear any kind of corset, un- der penalty of three months in l prison and fine of not more than 00o francs (s193). The second ar l ticle permits women older than thirty l to wear a corset
 Article H. compels manufacturers of corsetS to give to the state officials the names and addresses of all pur
 chasers of their goods. It renders dealers in corsets liable to short terms
 of imprisonment if they sell corsets l to women about to become mothers.
 It also provides for the confiscation of their entire stock. Should they be guilty of a second offense it forbldS
 their continuing business. Dr. Marechale informed eorre-
 spondent that he had found a member
 of the chamber of deputies ready and l willing to propose a bill The deputy l has been fortified with volumes of sta l tistics showing the harmful effect of l the corset habit on the increase of population in France and the neces sity for passing the remedial meas llre during the present session. investigations made in coco cases by means of the X-fays, said the doc tor demonstrates the fearful ray ages the corset makes in the female body. The feminine race has woefully degenerated physically and morally through using these instruments of torture
 Should the hygjenic commission accept my ideas propose at a later
 period to draft 2 bill regulating tn"
 weight of Women's hats which have
 reduced the brain capacity of women fifty centimeters during the last l,0oo
 years.
 Next will come crusade against
