FOR CEMENT SIDEWALKS.
And Crossings-No More Wooden Walks
to be Built in Certain Limits if
Ordinance Passes.

IL an ordinance now pending in
the city council becomes a law no
more wooden sidewalks can be con-
structed within large area in Cor
wallis. The ordinance prescribes
that the materials to be used, both
in sidewalks and crossings shall be
of Portland cement, sand and
gravel Of the usual proportions.
On Main street they are to be ten
feet vide and on others five and
six feet in width. 1t Is understood
that the walks around the Farra
residence were taken as a model.
The latter are six feet wide on the
north side and five on the west.
The cost is said to have been SIS
for 100 feet OF the five foot walk,
and 500 per hundred feet for the
walk six feet in width.
The pending ordinance fixes
limits in which the cement pave
ments are to be used for all renew
ais, as follows: Beginning at the
blacksmith shop east across the
street from Wade's store and thence
north on the east side of Main to
Nhe corner diagonally across the
street from the old Salvation Army
Hall, thence west to the J. H. Sim
pson residence, thence south to
Mrs. Bur1ietts residence, thence
west to the college grounds, thence
south to Jefferson street and east
along the south side of Jefferson to
the B. w. Wilson corner, thence
south a block and east along the
south side of Adams to the place of
beginning.
The ordinance has passed the
second reading, and will probably
come up for final actien at the
December meeting of the council.

NEGOTIATIONS ARE PENDING.
For Mountain Water-Committee of
Council and Water Company at
&c. Work.

Since the arrival from the East of
DR.. Farra. negotiations between
him and the committee of the city
council have been pending with
reference to Mountain water. A
lengthy meeting of the special COM
mittee at which DR.. Farra was pre-
sent, was held the other night, and
the proceedings, as far as they
went were without hitch. Pre-
liminary details of a plan were
worked on looking to the extention
OF a certain amount of financial aid
to the local company in the under
taking. The basis of the negotia-
tions is a bid recently made to the
council, but the details have been
so changed that the original offer
could hardly be recognized as be-
ing part of the new plan, It is
understood that the committee is
negotiating with view of fully
protecting the interests Of the city
in such credit as it may extend,
and that the company is manifest
ing a willingness to provide ample
security. An adjourned council
meeting was set for last night at
which some development with re-
ference to the negotiations was
expected.

TWO STARS OUT.
Of Today's Football Game new

=
Ones in.
The OAC football men have to
play in this afternoons game with
out their captain, and also without
George Herbert Root, one of their
famous half backs. A muscle
bruise sustained by Captain Bert
Pilkington at Seattle, and injured
somewhat again in the Utah game,
brought on in an aggravated form
at practice two weeks ago. It is
rapidly recovering now. but it is
out of the question for the redoubt-
able full back, the best perhaps on
the Coast, to be in this afternoons
game.
George Herbert Roots trouble is
a strained ligament in the shoulder,
sustained three weeks ago, and now
nearly sound again, but still too
week to allow him to go into the
game He is eager to play and con-
fident of his ability to make good,
but Coach Sickle is not willing
for the popular and formidable half
back to enter the game. The an
nouncement that Root was not to
play waa only made day or two
ago, but it has been realized for 70
days that Captain Pilkington would
be a side liner during the game.
Coach Sickle and his men are
not disturbed by the condition, but
have already organized another f or
midable back field. Kenneth Coop
er. who played half back on the
second team and end on the first
team last season, and end on the
first team this season until Roots
trouble, has been placed as the
mate of Floyd Williams at half
back. He is few pounds lighter
than Root, but is not less fierce OF
fast. He has great mans shoes
to fill this afternoon, but hisfriends
declare that he will measure out
the fullest.
The new fullback is Ray Walker
an Independence boy. He won
renown as end. and tackle on the
second team last year. and early
this season by hard playing attract
ed the attention of Coach Sickle,
who slated him early as first team
utility. When Captain Pilkington
went ont. Walker was at once p11t
at fullback, and he is now well
drilled in the position. He is but
10 pounds lighter than his chief, is
almost as swift and his friends are
confident that with him at fu1lback,
the new back field will do its wor K
effectively and we'll.

Last February. one year while in New

and my digestion was very poor. Ny
physicians could not get at the cause
of my trouble, as my digestion seem
ed so much impaired. / decided to
try Rydale's Stomach Tablets, being
assured by a friend. they were a good
dyspepsia medicine. After using
them for q few days, I began to real
ize that 1 was getting better. I gave
up the doctors prescription and have
gained 20 pounds while using two
boxes of these tablets. / never felt

1t is clear to us, for reasons hat

OF the property cannot be attained

clear hat it is a very valuable prop

We see nothing In the situation to
cali for great haste on the one hand,

POSTOFFICE FIGHT
 ~ WAXING WARM.
Tekarkana Plum Soon to be Awarded by Republican
 State Committee.

Little Rock, Dec. IS. The se- lection of a postmaster at Texar- kama promises to cause the Re- publican state committee consid- erable trouble when it meets in Little Rock this month to settle the contest. MT. Bickley, the present incumbent, is making hard fight for reappointment. If reports from Texarkana are to be believed, the following we'll known Republicans will also ask the committee for it's indorse- ment: Col. Frank Thompson, E. A. Schicker, the present reg ister of the land office at Cam den; T. o. Kyle and Tom Daly of Texarkana. MT. Daly is a resident of the Texas side, and is making strenuous efforts to land the plum. He is circulating a a petition on the Arkansas side,
 and it is said has secured many signers. The Texarkanian is re- sponsible for the statement that MT. Kyle recently made flying trip to the City of Mexico to so- licit the aid of Gen. Powell Clay ton, but the result of his mission is not known. Knowing ones say the flight may result in the selection of Hon. B. M. Foreman.

BURNED TO DEATH
 TO COVER CRIME.
Two Women and One Man Suffer Horrible Fate Near Mon-
 ticello, Ark.

Monticello, Dec. 18.-W. M. Stevenson and wife and Mrs. Willie Barrett, a visitor, were burned to death in the Steven son home twelve miles south of Monticello Friday night.
 Mrs. Barrett's husband had left her at Stevenson's. he hav- ing been asked to escort Steven sons daughter to a dance at Selma.
 When neighbors reached the house they found the bodies of the inmates burned beyond rec ognition.
 Sheriff Wilson went to investi- gate and sent to Pine Bluff for blood hounds. Stevenson was known to keep considerable money in the house and it is be- lieved the house was attacked for the purpose of robbery and was set on fire to cover up the crime.
