ELECTRIC RAILROAD
 NOT ABANDONED

Regarding the proposed electric railroad from Fayetteville, Ark, to Poplar Bluff the Doniphan Prospect News has this to say about the con struction of the road:
 Several inquiries have been made of late about the proposed electric railroad from Fayetteville, Ark, to Poplar Bluff, which is of much inter est to Ripley county people because of the fact that it is to come through the county, if it comes at all. The P.- N. is not informed as to the present status of the matter, but it is under stood that quite good deal of ex- pense has been incurred by the pro- motors of the enterprise on the vest ern end of the line, and if that be true it is reasonable to expect that the road will not be abandoned"

By Officer Richard -1AyuMRrr'
sisting Arrest Two Stories of the Shooting.

About II o'clock Tuesday night Officer H. 0. Huffman and Deputy " G. Richardson were called to the negro quarters on Upper Front street by disturbance, which Ben Douglass, a negro who runs the pool room ad7 joining the O'Neal saloon, says was caused by some one breaking out the glass in his front door.
 Douglass had fired a boy who worked for him, thinking the latter responsible for the broken glass, and was doing some loud talking when the officers came up and started to place him under arrest. Nothing was done at this time, however, and the officers returned about twelve.
 Huffman states that Louis Skates made move to resist the officers, whereupon Richardson covered him with gun and when Douglass made a pass as if to resist, Richardson open ed fire upon him, one bullet entering the left shoulder and passed out through the arm. Chas. Andrews, negro bystander, says Richardson be- gan shooting before resistance was made. Douglass is not known to have carried weapon, though he was 1 not searched.
 The physician in attendance upon Douglass says his injury will not prove fatal.

Encourage Immigration.

The Rock Island System is
making an effort TO encourage
immigration into Oklahoma, as
well as TO interest capitalists and
business and professional men in
the territory.
In this undertaking it should
have the active cooperation Of
every resident, for this reason:
the more people there are in Ok
lahoma, the higher the price Of
land will be and the greater will
be the prosperity Of every man
and woman in it.
The plan which will be followed
is TO publish, in Eastern farm
journals, letters from farmers
and business men who have made
money by coming TO Oklahoma.
Letters should go into details to
the extent of stating how much
money the writer had when he
arrived, what he did, what sue
cesshe has met with and what he
thinks of that portion of Okla
homa in which he is located. In
order TO prepare such asletter, it
is not necessary that the writer
should possess special qualifica-
tions as a literary man. On the
contrary, plain straightforward
statement of facts is of much
greater value than florid des-
criptions of climatic and other
advantages.
Photographs, not of persons,
but of cattle, feed lots, growing
crops, harvesting operations, ETC.;
can be used to advantage.
Letters are desired not only
from farmers and farmers wives,
but also from merchants, school
teachers, clergymen-from every
one, in brief who has a story to
tell and knows how to tell it.

A Natural Question.

The small boy, accompanied by his
father, was looking at the display in
the window of big store on Broad
way, where all manner Of wearing
things were on exhibition. In one cor
ner was great rack decorated with a
brilliant collection of socks and bear
ing the sign, Half Hose, Half Dol
lar"
The small boy studied it for a full
minute. Then he called his fathers
attention to it.
"Say, pop" he inquired, "if half hose
are half dollar, are whole hose &
whole dollar?'
II suppose So" laughed the father
though he we'll knew that the boy:
mother had pair i'll silk that he hat
paid $49S for and which she insisted
she had obtained at bargain because
they We're marked down from So

A Neglected Glass.

When looking around to discover so
cial grievances or to find subjects Tor
philanthropc work, why has no one
thought of the hotel maids and wait
ers? Their lives are hard, for they
have long hours and must be on duty
both early and late. Their time off is
taken in snatches, and they seldom get
a whole day.
A kind lady, observing this at no
tel asked her husband to give his morn
ing paper every day the man who
waited at their table. The gratitude
expressed showed how tedious the man
found his Idle time when he was ION
duty" but had nothing to do and moth
ing to read.
A book or paper to a chambermaid,
hallboy or elevator boy is often more
gratefully received than the ever wei
come tip.
A little consideration as to unusual
demands meets with equal apprecia-
ton. Any one who has Travelled much
and not kept his eyes shut soon learns
that hotel work is hard for those who
do it regularly and continuously and
soon becomes willing to be less exact
| ing and more aware of certain needs Ill
those who serve which cannot be sup
piled by gifts of money. A little per
sonal interest is worth much more IL
many cases. -Philadclphia Ledger

The Iron Crown.

The ''iron crown" which worked up
the minds of the people of the middle
ages to such an extent as finally to be-
come an object of worship, is. in fact,
a gold crown. the secret magic of the
name resting on the tradition that the
inside ring of iron was made from the
nails which were driven through the
hands of Jesus at the time of the cru
citiNion.
But little is known concerning the
history of the iron crown until after
the coronation of Agilulf, king of the
Loml'ards. 1t is generally believed that
it was made for that monarch in the
year 59l. 1t was used by Charlcmagne
and by all the after emperors of France,
who were kings of the Lombards. Ma
poleon put it on his head when he was
in Milan in 1906, saying, God hath
given it to me-
This celebrated relic is now in Ma
pies among the state jewels. 1t was
captured and taken by the Austrians to
Vienna in 1859, but was returned to 1t
ally in 1866. Believers in the sacred
hoop of iron inside the crown point tC
the fact that there is not a speck OF
rust upon it, although nearly 2,OOt
years old.-Exchange.
