ARKANSAS CYCLONE
 STRUCK MORO BAY

Warren, March 9.-About 4 o'clock Saturday evening disastrous cyclone passed through Moro Bay, doing con- siderable damage.
 The store of w. F. Ederington x Co.,, was blown completely away, and the stock of goods scattered in every di- rection. Two of the proprietors and three customers were in the building and the proprietors escaped unhurt. Joseph German and Mrs. Givens were hurt, but not seriously. A negro man was blown one hundred yards headIong against tree and seriously injured. A number of vacant houses were blown down.
 Ederington & Co.,, had just opened an entire new stock and had been in business but few months. Their loss is heavy. The storm seems to have spent itself at that place, as no further reports have been heard of it.

RIVER PROMISES OVERFLOW
Reports Received From Upper White And Black River Points Threaten A Disastrous Overflow Flood
 Tide Expected Thursday.
tFrom Tuesdays Daily ,

l Never probably in the history of 1 this section have the clouds continued
 for so long time to pour forth such a 1 deluge of rain. Hardly a day passes
 that the already alarming stage of the
 rivers of this section is not made more serious by additional showers. The rainfall alone has partially flooded l many of the lower streets of this city
 and the crossings upon Walnut and Hazel streets near Remmel Avenue were found to be floating Tuesday
 morning, while the streets gave more
 the appearance of canals than public highways.
 The downpour of Monday night re- suited in total precipitation of 2.45 inches according to the Newport guage and from reports at hand seems to have been general over the whole section of Northern Arkansas and Southern Missouri drained by White, Black and Current rivers and their tributaries.
 What the effect of this big rainfall upon the swollen streams will be. is no longer matter of dispute and pro- phecy but rather a certainty. The Newport guage at the noon hour
 Tuesday registered 27 feet and in the opinion of Capt. w. A. Joyce, who has studied the rise and fall of White River for many years, will probably reach
 32 feet by Wednesday morning. This would put White River over the Iron Mountain yards and within a few feet of the ties on the main line dump. On Tuesday morning, Mount Olive wired that White River had risen six feet there durifg the night and was still rising rapidly, as the rain had
 continued throughout the night.
 Batesville likewise reported heavy l rains and rise of two feet last night. Poplar Bluff and Black Rock were visited by the same general rains and
 Black river is rising at both points. Farmers in the lowland districts should look to the safety of their stock and drive them to higher ground be- fore the flood tide reaches here. Though Newport is protected by
 levee and the railroad dumps, these
 should be placed in good condition as
 small seeps may soon become gorges that will allow the water to rush in upon the town. It would be very short sighted economy that would risk the loss and inconvenience from an overflow to save few dollars, that
 might be spent for the betterment and watching of the railroad dumps and the levee.

FAILED TO FILL VACANCY.
Council Accepts Resignation Of All derman Walker But Cannot Agree
 Upon His Successor.

Before the council Monday evening, the resignation of J. G. Walker as a member of that body from the First Ward, necessitated by reason of his change of residence, was again pre- sented and upon motion of Bailey seconded by Wishon, was accepted.
 Wishon then introduced a motion which was unanimously agreed to, that the council take up the election of member to fill the vacancy cre- ated in the representation of the First Ward. w. R. Thompson was nomi- mated by Wishon and George R. Hays by Wilmans, each supporting his nominee iu the two successive votes taken and Bailey casting his ballot both times for w. R. Thompson. Neither side would concede and no candidate having received a majority of the full membership four, the va cancy was allowed to stand.
 No other business of importance was accomplished, except the allow ance of accounts and approval of the minutes of March 2.
 An ordinance was presented for the making of an improvement district of Front Street between Main and Beech Streets, but having been improperly drafted and headed in the opinion oi the city attorney, was held over for correction before action was taken.

 Batesville, Mar. By agreement of the attorneys upon either side in the Jackson county circuit court in vacation at Batesville, Judge F. D. Fulkerson on Saturday morning post poned consideration of the petition of the prohis, asking that the parties to whom license has been granted by the county court, be enjoined from the further sale of liquor and set the hearing of the case for Tuesday, March 17th.
 The attorneys for the saloon men asked its postponement, that they might prepare to resist the petition for an injunction, which is asked upon the ground of the illegality of the pe- titions for license and by reason of the failure to vote upon the issue under the prescribed regulations for cities of the first and second class

MAY VETO MUSSEL MEASURE.

Gov. Davis is being besieged with petitions and by delegations for and against the Myers mussel shell bill, which prohibits the taking of mussels and shells from the streams of Arkan- sas in April, May and June of each year, and bars use of the instrument called the crowfoot. The bill has passed both branches of the legislat- ure and awaits approval or disapprov- al from the governor.
 It is given out by parties who have recently had an audience with the governor, that he has virtually signi- fled his intention of vetoing the meas ure, though the same individuals ex- pressed the opinion that the legisla- ture in such an event would probably give the bill two- thirds vote.
 The governor has signed senate bill No. 123, to amend the act of March 26, 1895, fixing the salaries of the off, cers of Independence county, and making them as follows: Circuit clerk, S1 800 per annum; county clerk, $2, 100; assessor, not to exceed $70C from fees, and in addition half of the fees from delinquent assessments; sheriff to be allowed 50 cents a day each for feeding prisoners; treasurer not to exceed $500 from fees.

MOUNTAINS REPORT
 HEAVY RAINFALLS.

Mountain Home, March 9.-Rain has been falling above here and at this place in torrents today. Everything in the lowlands is under water. All the creeks in the countryside are booming and White river is rapidly filling with large volume of water. The level may soon reach far above the danger mark if the rain continues. Reports from the upper White river valley and tributary streams say that such is the volume of water that is descending that there is likely to be extremely high water in the lower portion of the river when the flood tide has time to pass down stream.

SCARCITY OF CLANS
 DENIED BY NORTHERNERS
Wisconsin Buyer Says That Fisheries Of That Section Are Not Exhaust ed But As Plentiful As Ever Facts That Are Of Interest
 To Arkansas.

Milwaukee, Wis, March S.-The re- ports that pearl bearing clans are be- coming scarce in the rivers in Wis consin and in the Mississippi river along the western boundry of the state is emphatically denied by L. w. Bunde of Bunde & Upmeyer, who probably buy more pearls in this country than any other concern in the United States. According to MT. Bunde, the number of pearls taken from the Mississippi river between St. Paul, Minn., and Hannibal, Mo-, last year, was more than double that of any previous year, and his firm alone paid out in round numbers S1OO,0O0 to the pearl fishermen.
 MORE MEN WILL GO FISHING.
 "There will be more men working on the Mississippi river the coming season than ever before.
 "How do account for the increase in prospect? The men are getting much better prices for the clam shells than they were before. You see, last September some foreign buyers ap- peared at Prairie du Chen and bought up large quantity of shells that the button factories in this country had turned down, claiming the prices at which they were held were too high. This had the effect to send prices up to $14 and $l5 a ton for the shells The foreigners also began buying shells which the American button makers would not take, paying S4 and 55 ton for them. This forced our people into the same game, and the fishermen are now betting what they ought to for the shells.

FOREMAN NEWMAN DROWNED.
Boat Capsized Drowning Construction Workman Who Was Attempting To Garry A Cable Across Swol
 len Buffalo River.

Eureka Springs, Ark, March s. Geo. Newman, foreman of St. Louis Northern Arkansas Railway construc- tion crew, was drowned in Buffalo river Friday while attempting to car ry cable across the stream just be-
 low the new railroad bridge. When in the middle of the stream, which was greatly swollen, the boat in which he and an assistant were laying out the cable was capsized by the rapid cur rent. Both men swan valiantly, but Newman became exhausted and sunk, while the sgreater endurance of his companion enabled him to reach shore.

OVER FIFTY MILES
 OF BACK WATER.

Capt. s. H. Jackson returned Thurs day night by rail from Rosedale, Mis- sissippi, where he delivered the boat "Evening Star'' to it's new owners the Ward Lumber Company of Chicago, purchased from the Kelley Lumber Company of this city.
 MT. Jackson states that the Missis- sippi is now so high, that the back water extends fifty miles up the White, which near it's mouth is like a great inland sea, the waters being as placid as those of lake. The waves of passing boat are felt for twenty miles.
 All of the Arkansas rivers are very high, Cache, St. Francis and Arkan- sas. At the mouth of the latter, only sixteen feet of the smokestack of a sawmill of the Ward Lumber Com pany is now visible and the people oi that section are living ill tents built upon rafts.
 As the Evening Star had but one crew, they were compelled to tie up to trees at nights and the experience of this trip proved both novel and interesting. MT. Jackson expects Thursday night and Fridays rain tc add the finishing touches that are needed for an overflow.

CIRCUIT COURT TO CONSIDER CASE.
Notice Served Upon County Judge And Clerk, Saloon Men And Their Attorneys That Cause Will Be
 Taken Up By Circuit Court
 At Batesville Saturday.

The action of the county court and clerk in granting and issuing licenses to sell liquor within the city of New port, has apparently not ended the fight of the prohibitionists in their at tempt to shut out saloons. For upon Thursday evening notice was served upon the county judge and clerk and upon each of the parties represented and upon their attorneys, that upon Saturday morning at ten o'clock in the city of Batesville, Judge F. D. Fulkerson of the circuit court now in vacation would consider the complaint of the State of Arkansas and J. E. Wilmans ct al. "as a motion for the relief and for the writs named tbere- in."
 The notice enumerates the parties to whom addressed as we'll as the par ties to the action and closes in the fol- lowing manner "At which time and place you may attend if you 80 desire" " The notice duly signed by George w. Murphy, attorney general, J. M. Bell, U. A. HiIlhouse, o. w. Scarborough and Phillips and Campbell as attor- neys for the plaintiffs.
 It would thus appear that the at torney general has become counsel Tor for the prohis and the State of Arkansas has become party to the action in court. An injunction against the further sale of liquor will probably be asked of the circuit court, with what result, cannot be stated.
 The saloon men expect to be on hand with their legal advisers and ap- parently feel confident that the rights accorded them by regularly issued i- censes can neither be revoked nor en- joined.

BERRY REFUSES CLARKE
 COURTESY OF AN ESCORT
Personal Animosity Existing Between Two Arkansas Senators Causes Customary Courtesies To Be
 Ignored.

Washington, March 9.-Senator James P. Clarke of Arkansas furnish ed the unusual spectacle today of a senator of the United States appear ing without the customary escort to take the oath of office.
 Senator Berry had requested Sena- tor Carmack to escort Senator Clarke to the presidents chair. "Clarke dis likes me as cordially as he does you, said Carmack, "and I would not dare offer to escort him. He would pos sibly not accept my kind offices" The
 question was then dropped.
 When it came time today for new senators to take the oath Senator Cockrell of Missouri escorted Senator
 Stone to the presidents desk. Sena-
 tor Berry was deeply engrossed in an
 official publication, and paid no heed
 to the proceedings. Senator Clarke
 appeared at the head of the center
 aisle of the chamber unattended. Senator Bacon of Georgia, with a de-
 sire to relieve an embarrassing situa ton, offered his arm to the new Ar
 kansas senator. The offer was court
 eously refused, and MT. Clarke, with his head erect and eyes flashing,
 walked down the aisle alone and took the oath. He was slightly embarrass-
 ed, and forgot to shake the extended
 hand of the presiding officer after the oath had been administered. He signed the documents on the clerks desk that made him a full -fedged United States senator, and walked
 back to his desk with a glance of tri- umph and defiance at Senator Berry. Senator Berry kept on reading.

eral Frank p. Sargent a powerful gust

head, says the New York World
Those standing behind the president
saw a sight that evoked much com
ment. Sticking out Of his right hand
hip pocket was the handle Of revoly-
er. One Of the secret service mon
quickly restored the skirts of the pres
dents coat to their proper place, but
the momentary glimpse the spectators
had convinced those familiar with
such matters that the handle indicated
weapon OF heavy caliber
Those unfamiliar with the presidents
custom wondered why he should so
armed when on a mission so peaceful
as an inspection Of ellis island. 1t was
explained by one Of the secret service
men, however, that the president inva-
riably carries a revolver when he goes
to a public place.
The president has carried pistol
ever since he took the oath Of Office aft
er the assassination Of Mckinley. He
has the greatest faith in the ability Of
the dozen or more secret service agents
who guard him, but prefers to be arms
ed himself in case Of emergency. The
pistol is the black handled, blue steel,
.3S caliber revolver which he carried
when with his rough riders in Cuba.
1t is the same gun with which he shot
"a Spaniard, as he tells in his history Of
the rough riders.
When in Cuba he praetlced faithfully
with his revolver until he became an
excellent marksman. Since that time,
both in Washington and at Oyster Bay,
| the revolver shooting has been contin-
ued until the president can score q
lbulrs eye at pretty nearly every shot.
The secret service men have strenu-
GUS target practice at Oyster Bay each
summer. One Of them pins bit of pa
per to a tree or stump the man who
Is to do the shooting is started on a run
and must pull his pistol as soon as he
sees the object and fire every charge
without slackening his pace. The presi-
dent has taken part in this practice and
has been able to hit a small sapling i've
times out of six shots.
The presidents ammunition is fur
nished him by the ordnance bureau Of
the army. tt especially inspected and
loaded, and the president knows he can
depend upon it in an emergency.
The most remarkable shooting ever
done by the president was at Oyster
Bay in August, 1902. when he chal-
Ilenged Commander snyman, who had
!. been on General De Vets staff in the
Boer army, to a match. With his re-
yolver at fifty yards he drove five bul-
llets, one after another, through the hole
made by the first in the center Of the
Ibulrs eye. General Snyman confessed
that he had never before seen such
shooting with a revolver. The president
is equally expert with a rifle or q shot
