HISTORY OF A NAME.

An exchange asks: tDo you know why the name Marked Tree was app
 piled to the town in Arkansas?" and answers: "The St. Francis river runs just south of the station about two miles; at that point there is a place where the river is fordabIe and it is the only point for miles and miles above that point, and no ford below there where the river can be forded. During the war this ford was used by all men going to or from the confed- crate army from all eastern Missouri and those going north from the south side of the river. So that it might be easily and readily recognized by the traveller, day or night, big blazes or marks were cut in the trees on either bank facing the water, showing the weary traveller where to go into the water and where to come out. Any one directing you where to cross the river would directly you to these marked trees. And the war name has stuck to the place. When the railroad built in there it named it's station Marked Tree which to thousands was the most noted point on the river.n

Among the Presbyterian ministers who were presented to President Roosevelt when he was in New York recently was one who bears the bur den of an overweening sense of duty, and is wont to "rebuke in season and out of season''- mostly out of season. "I regret, :" said the preacher, "to see that the administration countenanced the use of liquor in the governors palace at Havana" "But am glad to see," said the President deftly changing the subject, "that the gen. eral assembly is discountenancing the use of birthstone. .n-K. 0.

ROCK ISLAND CONNECTION.

Newport was visited by a party of Rock Island and Choctaw officials Monday night, who met number of our leading business and professional men, and after a drive over the city Tuesday morning with MT. w. R.. Thompson, left on their special train for Brinkley.
 The party consisted of H. A. Par ker, first vice president of the Rock Island system; c. H Warren, mem- Der of the board of directors of the Rock Island and president of the Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf; J. F. Holden, traffic manager and H. G.. Clark, general manager of the Choc taw, Oklahoma & Gulf.
 Vice. President Parker recently made the trip overland through North ern Arkansas from Springfield, Mo-, and it is known that the Rock Island system contemplates a connection from some point in Arkansas on it's newly acquired Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf lines, with the Worlds Fair City Whether this point is to be Ft Smith, Little Rock or Newport, the future alone can determine by a consideration of which would be the cheapest, most feasible and best pay ing route.
 The Rock Island recently purchased the Missouri & Colorado road, which is in course of construction and has been completed to Versailles, Missou- ri. It is thought by good railroad au thorities that the Arkansas line will leave this road at La Belle in Maries county and will almost certainly pass through Springfield, Mo.
 Newport is further north than either of the other two cities named on the Choctaw and in this way enjoys the ad- vantage, as the present branch could be utilized and the read by taking this route could also become a factor in St. Louis Memphis traffic.

SATISFIED THAT
 ADVERTISING PAYS.

A merchant who had store in each of two neighboring towns recently tried an experiment. He put bar gain counter in each store, containing the same article at exactly the same price. Insthe newspaper of one viii lage he advertised his special counter. In the paper of the other he did not advertise and sold goods amounting to $984. In the store the same month where he did advertise he sold goods amounting to $1,727. In commenting on the result of his experiment that merchant says: "The people who got the advertisement passed by one of my stores and drove miles to the other for what they could have gotten at the same price at my store at their door z Poplar Bluff Citizen.

BAILEY AFTER BEVERIDGE.

Washington, June 30.-Senator Bai- ley of Texas assaulted Senator Bev- eridge of Indiana tonight just after the senate had adjourned from executive session. The affair was the result of the bitter controversy which the two senators had during the afternoon. Senator Bailey demanded that MT. Beveridge retract the language ut tered at that time, and when the latter declined it is alleged MT. Bailey seized him by the throat and threw his weight upon him at the same time. The two men were separated, how ever, before any damage was done.

WRECK ON CHOCTAW.

Monday morning about o'clock the engine of Choctaw freight train No 8S, while near Round Pond, elev- en miles east of Forrest City, struck COW and was derailed, causing the instant death of the fireman, Charles Gilliland, who was crushed into a shapeless mass under the wreckage. The body was not found for several hours. Gilliland was young man who bore a splendid reputation. He made his home in North Little Rock, and it is understood he was soon to have been married to a popular young lady. His remains will be inferred at Wynne today. A committee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen left last evening to attend the flu neral
 Engineer Sid Moore was badly scalded, but will recover.
 The accident caused a delay in traffic on the Choctaw east of this city, the fast mail and passenger train due here from Memphis at 1 p. m. not arriving until 2:15. It ran out of Memphis on the Iron Mountain tracks to Fair Oaks, thence south on the Cotton Belt to Brinkley where it took the Choctaw track west.
