SHOULD MAKE A GOOD STREET

Street Commissioner J. s. Hill is confident that the work now being done on Second street will be lasting, at least for years to come, with very little further expense to the city. In answer to those who claim that wag- ons from the many dirt streets lead ing into Second will soon ruin the paving on that thoroughfare, he points out the present condition of Beech street, which was paved six years 70 a width of sixteen feet from Front to Lake Avenue and also the short block on Lake Avenue to the bridge. These streets remain in good shape today, except in front of the livery barn on Beech, where the fault lays with the stone used, which was of sandy nature and diff ferent from that called for under the contract.
 The paving on Second street, says Mir. Hill. will be thirty feet in width and one foot in depth. The work of grading has been completed and the rock which is to be thrown on and broken up with hammers is expected the first of next week. E. R. Beane of Russell has a contract for twenty five cars.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGs.
HAS s. & D. A. CHANGED HANDS?


 Persons coming from Searoy report that a rumor is current there that the Iron Mountain has secured or is about to secure control of the Searcy & Des Arc railroad, a Choctaw property. The report is that it was taken over in part payment for the Arkansas Midland, which the Rock Island Frisco Choctaw system is said to have secured from the Missouri Pacific. The Searcy & Des Arc road, originally an independent line, is a valuable feeder of the Choctaw, and is now being extended from Des Arc to De Vall's Bluff. The rumors, however, lack official confirmation and are given only as such.
 From another source it is learned that the Iron Mountain will take over the Searcy 6 Des Arc road and extend it to connection with the new White River line of the Missouri Pacific. This will give more direct connec- ton with Memphis. It is also learned in corroboration of this report that the Choctaw has abandoned all work on the Des Arc DeVall's Bluff exten- sion.-Little Rock Democrat.

body who knew him, first conceived the
idea of making few extra pennies by
selling taffy candy about the streets
and going to the hotels, depots and even
from house to house. He had nothing
to start him in life except his good
health and determination TO do some
thing. Later on he built little
peanut" stand where the Bahlke block
now stands and when he was sixteen
years old had worked up qoite busi-
ness selling candy, popcorn and peanuts.
At that time he had the agency for all
the daily newspapers coming into Alma
and with his little stand that helped
him along so that he was able TO lay by
few dollars. In 1891 he leased the
building where Milliman's meat market
is now located and went into business
on little larger scale. He remained
there three years and then moved into
his present location, adding an ice cream
parlor to the other business, later on
purchasing a soda 70 untain and adding
the necessary equipment for serving
cool summer drinks.
Mr. Bennett next branched out by
putting in ovens and going into the
bakery business This proved TO be a
success as well as the other branches of
his business and from time to time he
enlarged his bakery until now he has
as finely equipped bakeshop as the re
will be found in this part Of the state.
In his ice cream business he uses a gaso-
line engine for power in making the
product and taking every part Of his
business, you find it equipped with
modern appliances, everything neat and
clean. He has recently purchased the
property where he Ia located and it ia
barely possible that be will branch out
farther in short time.
While he has always applied himsel
strictly 20 business, still he has found
time TO enjoy life as he has found it
He has a pleasant home and everything
to make life enjoyable. His brother
f A. Bennett, assists him. In fact has
charge Of the bakery. Both have grown

FACT THAT is UNPRECEDENTED
italian Soldiers in st. Peter's-TempOraI
Power Is Considered.

An important political factor was
introduced into the ceremony by the
entrance into st. Peters of Italian sol
diers, who remained there throughout
the day to preserve order Their pres
ence there in such a capacity, unpre-
cedented in the history of modern
Italy, is important as an indication Of
better relations between the govern
ment and the Vatican, as it was by the
consent-if not by the desire of the
Vatican authorities-that they en-
ployed the troops of the Quirinal in
papal territory.
Another feature which is causing
comment along the same lines is the
fact that Cardinal Oreglia, in receiv-
ing a group of the city fathers of Rome
who represented Clerical party. charged
them to thank also their Liberal col
leagues for the manifestations of sym
pathy which they showed during the
illness of the pope. The cardinal, con-
tinuing his conversation, indicated spe-
cial satisfaction over similar manifest
ationS coming from several constituted
bodies of the kingdom of Italy, such
as communal councils and provincial
deputations.
The most important matter before
the meeting of the congregation of car
dinaIs was a proposition presented by
Cardinal Oreglia to send a note to the
diplomatic body accredited to the holy
sec for the purpose of representing to
the powers the condition of the papacy
since the loss of its temporal power.
1t appears that Cardinals Steinhuber,
Matthew and Wives Tuto favored the
dispatch of most energetic note con-
cerning the question of reclaiming the
papaI rights Cardinals Agliardi and
