STABBED TO THE HEART.
Bud or Walter Scott Killed by Charley
 Strong Both Negroes.


 Friday night about 1O:15 the neigh borhood of Sixthand Main streets was startled by the cries of some one in distress, which upon investigation proved to be Bud Scott, who said he had been "cut all to pieces by Charley Strong"
 It seems that gang of young ne- groes, about Is years of age, congre- gated on Sixth street and became in- volved in dispute over girl--May Purdy which finally terminated in the killing of one of their number Bud or Walter Scott by Charley Strong, who, at last accounts, has not yet been apprehended.
 The body of Scott was removed to the undertaking rooms of R. F. Drum mond and the inquest held Saturday morning, the verdict of the jury being that he came to his death by knife wound in the heart inflicted by one Charley Strong.

CONFIDENCE IN HER CUSTOMERS

Possibly the youngest proprietor of a successful business in the United States is Mary Elizabeth Evans, of Syracuse, N. Y. She is 15 years old and sells more candy than any six of the other retail dealers in Syracuse. She prepared the way for her trade by having a booklet printed which consisted of testimonials from physi- clans who had bought her candy. Another of her original plans was a showcase at which all customers help- ed themselves. Tn the case wore neat boxes of candy, and at one end were double doors. Swinging from one of of these doors was sign, which read: "Open these doors. Take what vou wish. Leave price for goods taken. Make your own change from my till. I trust to customers honor.n This girl has remarkable business ability and has great confidence in her pa- trOnS.-Success.

PLAYING HAVOC.

The Arkansas correspondent to the Memphis Commercial-Appeal says:
 The Anti-Saloon League of Arkan- sas is playing havoc with the liquor traffic of this State. It will prove a surprising piece of news to the aver age Arkansan to learn that there is not a saloon between Little Rock and the Texas line on the south, and be- tween Little Rock and the Missouri line on the north. It is given out upon the best Anti Saloon League authority, that strong efforts will be made before the next legislature to adopt the South Carolina dispensary laws, in fact, the question is a chief issue i'll several of the interior coun- ties, and legislators are making their canvass upon that platform.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
 Vice. President and General Man ager Winchell, of the Frisco, has given orders for reconstruction of the line from Deckerville to Luxora, distance of thirty seven miles, which will fur nish the St. Louis inlet from the South. The line is to be relaid with 75-pound steel rails and new bridges and cul- verts will place the property in stand ard condition for heavy traffic.
 The Frisco management has made arrangements which will result in the reopening of the Crescent Hotel, Eu- reka Springs, not later than June |. A long lease has been executed and the property is to be placed in first class condition as a permanent resort all the year. Its management is to be a matter of careful selection and the Frisco people have determined to pro- vide an elegant family resort at Eure- ka Springs which will attract visitors at all seasons.
 Col. J. 0. Yancey, of Batesville, Ark, a we'll known lawyer and gentleman who has done much toward the build ing of the White River Railroad, a branch of the Iron Mountain, from Batesville to the west and northwest, says that twenty miles of the system are completed, and the grading, clear ing of right Away and other work incident to the construction of sixty additional miles are being pushed forward by force of almost 5000 men.
 The extension will reach Buffalo City, and it is expected that it vii. Joe completed by> September 1. White river will be crossed either at Buffalo City or at some point in that vicinity. The road will open a region very rich in minerals adapted to fruit raising and farming, the land in the valley of White river not being excelled in the Mississippi valley.
 The company expects to extend the line to Carthage or Webb City, Mo-, and to have this extension completed within year from the opening of the extension to Buffalo City.
 Previous to the building of roads into the rich mineral region of north ern Arkansas the ore has found it's way to the smelters from Buffalo City and other points in barges floated down White river to Batesville and. Newport, Ark. Democrat.
 An accident to the train on the new road was averted last "Wednesday af- ternoon by the prompt action of the local crew in removing a dead COW from the track just across the bridge.

 Tracklaying was begun Friday on the new sixty mile extension of the St. Louis & North Arkansas line from Harrison to Leslie Ark. President John Scullin has been here several days inspecting the work. He said he expected to see the entire line com pleted to Leslie by August 1. The threes span iron bridge across Crook ed creek, near Harrison was complet- ed Thursday. Nearly two hundred cars of steel are now being received

at Harrison and the work of extension is being pushed. Vice. President c. H. Smith and Director R. c. Kerens, both of St. Louis, are expected here today to inspect the work. The new exten- sion will give the road main line of 131 miles from Seligman, Mo-, to Les lie, Ark.
 Paragould, through the efforts of her Board of Trade, has been promis. ed new depot. If the Mountain does not hold to her promise any better with them than she has in regard to giving Newport new depot, their depot is yet in the very dim distance.
 John Warblow began braking on the Iron Mountain local from Newport to Poplar Bluff Monday.
 Skid ways were prepared this week and the steel for the new Black river bridge at Black Rock was unloaded and the finishing touches are being put on copings for the stone piers by stone cutters. We expect to watch that bridge change with a great deal of interest. The idea of taking out the old structure and putting in the new without delaying trains smacks of the marvellous.

PROHIBITION DON'T WORK.
Squadrons Cruising The Mississippi to
 The Joy of the Thirsty.


 Prohibitionists in Mississippi are disturbed by new trouble They have established prohibition in sixty four of the seventy five counties of the State and have driven the ssblind tigers" out of business. After secur- ing all these triumphs they have en- countered a new nuisance which seems to defy them.
 Ihere have always been floating bar 9rooIps on the Mississippi but they were never before so numerous and active as atpresent; and they are liter ally wiping out prohibition in all the river counties.
 Probably because of the long years of enforced temperance, the people sliving along the Mississippi seem to have become unusually thirsty and take to liquor with zeal which indi- cates that they want to make up for lost time. The route of the whisky fotilla is marked by an outbreak of jags such as has not been known in Mississippi for many day.
 tThe whisky squadron passed Friars lint the other day, and the scene is said ave been most extraordinary. That particular squadron-there are several squadrons on the river-con- sisted of three large barges and float ing fdistillery which manufactured the whisky for local distribution.
 Each barge was a barroom, where liquor could be bought either by the drink or by the jug. The squadron anchored off Friars Eoint, in the mid dIe Of the river, just beyond the water boundary of Mississippi.
 The ssadmirals,' as the commanders of the fleet are called, hung out their flags, which announced that they were ready to serve their customers. They must have given advance notice of their coming for many of the people in the interior had heard of it and drove over to the river bank to enjoy the opportunity offered them to pun ish ssJohn Barleycorn.o

the year 1915 he began life as a sailor.
and for 25 wears he followed the seas
In 1910 he arrived at New York city and
as he used to saw. became a land lub-
ber." There he found employment as
contractor on canals, having been inter-
ested in the construction of the Erie
canal. After four years of service in
this line of work. Mr. McNally went to
New Orleans. Where, in 1S45, he enlisted
in the Mexican War-a faithful soldier
from its opening to its close. Being of
restless disposition, he went to Ken
lucky after the war. and was engaged
on public works there until 1855, at
which time he came to Kansas. then a
territory. He got land adjoining Paola,
which has since become very valuable.
The first briekyard in Miami county
was esta blished by him. During the re-
bellious times of 81 to 'e5 he was a
scout along the border. Until the panic
of 1873, Uncle jimmy was one of the
wealthieSt early settlers here, but
through litigation. his earthly possess

naming years with the Cornelius Sloan

burial occurred today in the Louisburg
cemetery, services being conducted by
Rev. Father Hoey, of Wea- Kan.

tfty made him the friend of old and
young for miles around. Mr. McNally
