WHITE RIVER ROUTE
 TO BE TRUNK LINE.
Iron Mountain Rushing Work on White River Route-T Trains Run ming Through Tn Six Months Development of Rich Min
 ing and Agricultural
 Sections.

Pittsburg, Kans., June 22.-In less than six months, it is believed by those who seem to be next, that the Missouri Pacific railway company will have trains running on new line now being constructed between Memphis and Topeka. It is estimated that over 5000 men are now at work upon the construction between the two points upon gaps between the terminus of roads owned by the Goulds.
 The White River line will have two large steel bridges each costing in ex- cess of $200, ,000. One will be over the White river at Cotter. The other will span the North Fork of the White river at Devero, about thirty miles south of Cotter. Work is in progress on both at this time. The Devero bridge is nearing completion. A temporary tresUle now spans the north fork, and is used by construc- ton trains that are running as far as Buffalo City.
 Trains will probably be running into this city from Carthage by September 18th and from here they will run to Fort Scott by the way of Cornell, Yale and Englevale, and from Fort Scott the road will go to Topeka over the K, N. and D. division of the Mis- souri Pacific. The White River line, which is well on towards completion into Carthage, connects with another new line into Memphis. When the entire line is completed it will become naturally one of the best main lines in the country and the highways con- meeting Kansas, it's farms and coal fields, with the mining, timber and cotton lands in Southwest Missouri and Arkansas. No other railroad in the country will be able to boast of more diversified resources from which big freight business can be ob- tained. Such line will be the direct outlet for the south to the great north and west and will be of untold benefit to the countries through which it passes.

sPIECE MAY ALSO DIE.

Hoxie, June 22.-News has reached here of a cutting affray and killing at Pocahontas Saturday. It is said that Mir. O'Hair came home in the even ing and found his wife talking to MT. Spiece near the O'Hair home. 1t IS said that O'Hair grabbed Spiece and cut him in a number of places. His cries attracted the marshal and his deputies, but by the time they ar rived Spiece was unable to rise from the ground. When the marshal un- dertook to arrest O'Hair he tried to use his knife, but the officers shot and killed him.
 Mr. Spiece is very low from his wounds and is not expected to live. He is a prominent hoop mill owner.

DIES ARC TO DEvALL's BLUFF.
Work Will Commence This Week on Choctaw Branch Which Will Ulti- mately be Extended Through
 Heber to Leslie.

Information comes from DeValPs Bluff that work will commence this week on the extension of the Searcy x Des Arc road, Choctaw branch, from Des Arc to DeVall's Bluff, distance of eighteen miles, to a connection with the main line of the ChocUaw, This will give through connection to the Dorth with the Iron Mountain. It is believed that the purpose of the Rock Island is to connect by way of Heber with the St. Louis & North Ar kansas road, a Frisco project, now being extended to Leslie. The curve on the Choctaw main line between mile 8S and the bridge over White river is to be strengthened, which will throw the depot at DeVall's Bluff half a mile north of the present site. It will also reduce the grade so that from five to seven more cars of freight can be hauled between Little Rock and Memphis.

COLONEL MINORS
 PRESENTATION ADDRESS.

In the presentation of battle flag to Mrs. O. R. Cookie Saturday after noon, Col. L. Minor voiced the senti- ment and purpose of the gathering in the following choice and eloquent language:
 "As a daughter of the First Arkan- sas Regiment, we do you but slight honor in this impromptu affair.
 "Your gallant father led this flag in many a deadly battle, honored and loved it until the day of his death in Peace, but bowed ever with submis sion to the inevitable when the condi- ton so required.
 Gin behalf of the daughters of the Lucien O. Cause chapter. I present you with this slight token of the re- newed love of those of the First Ar kansas who are left behind for the time being, and yet cherish the love that was close and sweet in the sixties, hoping that you have in no wise diminished in the faith you inn bibed in those days, but will hold to your children's children and their generations, the old love for the South and that the Confederacy will in the memory of all, live forever"

STRANGE DISGUISE.

Carthage, Mo-, June 22.-Miss Maud Gage disappeared ten days ago from the farm of her father, ten miles northwest of here, and was discovered yesterday working on a farm a mile from town, clad in overalls and jump CT.

But ring once owned by her dead mother completed the Identification, and she quit work in the hayfield to return home. Her employer was Eugene Peugnett, who says he had not suspected the girl, though he thought her an uncommon ly handsome boy. Miss Gage is a graduate of the high school at Webb City and has taught school several terms. Recently she quarreled with her father because he opened a letter addressed to her which she thought came from young man of whom he disapproved, who had been paying her attentions.

Salmon STAGE Accident.

The result of the overturning of
the Salmon river stage, while bad
enough, was not so serious as at first
reported. Pete Carney received a
broken shoulder and some broken
ribs. DIR. Foskitt, of White Bird,
thinks he will recover successfully
from the injuries. D. L. Sutton bad
his shoulder dlslocated and will be
laid up only about six weeks. The
rest were practically unhurt, Mr.
Lockwood had been driving the stage
for eight miles and was within 200
wards Of his stopping place. The
accident was unavoidable and was
due to stone giving away from un-
der the feet of one of the horses and
precipitating the animal over the
wall, which is about three feet high.
The stage landed bottom up on $
bench and the injured men were
thrown altogether about 20 feet into
the rocks. The stage company IL
not blamable in any way.

A DDreputabIe and Danger
GUS Traffic.

In all intelligent communities the
danger from the alum baking powder
is fully recognized and appreciated.
No housewife who is informed upon
ply siological subjects will knowingly
permit one of these dangerous arti-
cles to come in contact with her
food.
The harmfulness of alum baking
powders is mostly exerted among
those who do not read, who are de-
ceived by the stories of peddlers and
others interested in the sale of the
inferior articles, and these are the
people who can least afford TO use
unhealthful food.
The health authorities, however,
are waking up to the seriousness OF
the situation. Already many arrests
have been made of the venders ot
alum baking powders. When by
convictions and heavy penalties th'
sale Of these powders is made botf
disreputable and expensive, it vii
be blessing to the public.
