Several es- establishments have already closed and others will close tomorrow on ac- count of lack of employees. The Jeff erson woman is in jail and will be taken to the asylum as soon as prac- ticable.
 Through the neighboring counties the country people have become ex- cited over the affair and number oi them have visited Pine Bluff and withdrawn their money from the banks. Wild stories are increasing each day and it is hardly probable that one-half of one per cont of the negro population of the city will be in Pine Bluff Friday.

Newport, Ark.
 Gentlemen:-In reply to your com munication asking whether or not a day electric service would be put in and when, we beg to say that we have not been able to interest the citizens of Newport sufficiently in the day ser vice to make it possible for us to furn- ish one.
 Our solicitor has been trying for a month or more to work up list of subscribers for the day current but he has not been able to secure more than thirty five names, and in no instance would any subscriber sign a contract for the season beginning May 1 and ending September 1.
 It will be necessary for us to have at least fifty subscribers who will sign a contract to use the day current for three months-that is, from Jun 1 to September 1-before we can start a day current. Even with this number we will have to operate the plant at a loss of over $60 per month, but we fig ure that when we have installed this number of fans we will have no trou- ble in getting sufficient number of subscribers to secure us against loss.
 We will send our solicitor out again before the first of June, and if he can secure the fifty subscribers to the day current who will contract to use it un- til September 1, we will start the ser vice June 1.
 The price will be $3.50 per month for a twelve inch desk fan and $4.5O per month for ceiling fan.
 Very truly yours,
