The Future Of Pine Bluff

Every town OF city has a spirit, Il
soul clement, SO To speak. not visible
to the naked eye but as much a part
of the corporate body as the physical
s1lucturc.
This soul element may be indolent
or ii may be active; it may be COW
ardly, or it may be brave; it may be
selfish, or ii may be liberal. If it be
indolent. cowardly and selfish, the
effect inevitably following such spil-
itual conditions in all things of life
Will be death. THIS is one of the
economic principles of nature.
On the other hand if the corporate
body is moved by the spirit of ac-
tivity, bravery and individual liberty,
the unvarying results will be life. And
when these vital clements are brought
into vigorous activity there is soon
developed such a degree of life force
that it subordinates all death d..
stroying diseases and moves on 10
eminence aud distinction
The corporate soul force, like the
spirits of men, is continuously pass
ing through changes, for the better or
for the worse. Incidence generates
incidence, and life begets life. We
cannot SO much as touch the hem Of
our neighbor's garment but what
there is an invisible but potent ef-
feet communicated, and in the as-
gregate hem touching We build up
the comfortable as we'll as the indi-
vidual soul. Herein lies a law, well
defined and absolute, and from which
we may draw prophetic conclusions.
This leads up 10 the question under
consideration-the future Of Pine
Bluff.
Pine Bluff, up to the present time,
is a small city. 1t is simply big
country town, and in that condition
i. is but just we should measure her
by her legitimate ability. There is a
transition period through which all
cities that nave attained a hlgn degree
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1904-12-11

That period is when public necessity
begins 10 require extensive public inn
provements-when the little city is
merging into the large one, and large
sums OF money are required.
Al this period there arises two con
tcnGing factions-the one progressive,
the other retrogressiye. The progress
Sive element some times overestimate
the financial ability of the corpora
ton, and reaches out for improve
ments that would become burden
some The retrogressye element is
always impractically and rrlinously
possimistic, if their views are carried
out, But they perform one important
function-that is TO bring forward
every possible objection and danger,
Whereby they act as a break and a
balance wheel to the impracrically op
timistlc In this struggle the true
economic position is attained, which
is usually about midway between the
two eXtremes.
Pine Bluff is now passing through
this period, but the practically pro
ercssige are gradually but surely and
safely getting control Of public senti-
ment This sentiment is being di
rected in the channel Of building UP
general public Improvements, and this
is right. With healthy commercial
conditions public improvements will
necessarily follow. Take care of our
material growth and public improve
ments will take care of themselves.
We have no intention whatever in
this article to discourage public i'm
prOyements; for the writer has al
ways advocated public improvements,
and believes that no city San attain
commercial greatness without perma
nent public improvements, but We
realize that what Pine Bluff greatly
neeeds to-day is 70 invest some of its
capital in substantial industrial en-

When Sandifer reached a dark spot on
Cedar street, just opposite the Anderson
Coal Companys yard, and only about two
blocks from his home, the men suddenly
rushed up from behind and one of them
dealt him terrific blow. He fell to the
ground, only partially stunned and the

NEUTRALITY IS TOO
STRICTLY ENFORCED

ST. PETERSBURG, April 24.-Rear Ad-
miral Wrenius has just returned from his
unsuccessful attempt to reinforce the Port
Arthur fleet with his squadron, consisting
of the battleship Osiabia, the cruisers Au-
rora and Dmitri Donskoi, eleven torpedo
boats and two transports.
In an interview the admiral complained
of the stringency of the neutrality at Suez
and Port Said. The British authorities
would not allow the vessels to remain more
than twenty-four hours and permitted
them to take on only q meagre allowance
of coal The admiral said:
I'VE met the cruisers Kasuga and Mis-
SHIN the warships purchased by Japan
from Argentina and now with Vice Admiral
Togo's fleeD at Port Said, but we had not
the slightest desire to stop them. They had
all the appearance of merchantmen and
their rough crews dangled their legs over
the sides of the vessels. My ships have re-
turned safely after a voyage longer than
that to Port Arthur"
The torpedo boats are now at Libau,
where their engines are being overhauled

FORMER RESIDENT OF CITY
IS HONORED BY ISLANDERS
Mrs. Robert Miller, Once of In
dianapolis, Represents Porto Ri
can Women at St. Louis.
TALKS OF THE ISLAND

Mrs. Robert Miller, wife of the postmas-
ter at Ponce. Porto Rico, who was recent
ly appointed honorary commissioner OF
Porto Rico to the st. Louis exposition, and
who is we'll known throughout the island
for her work among the poorer classes
there being president of the Womans Be
nevolent Society of Porto Rico, president
of the Womens Club of Ponce and head
of the Industrial School of the island. is
in Indianapolis the guest of her brother,
Mr.. Trustin h. Igoe. 5S2 Lockerbie street.
Mrs. Miller was formerly resident of this
city.
During her stay in Porto Rico she has
made careful study OF the sociological
conditions among the poorer classes there
and is thoroughly acquainted with the
needs of the people. Just now she is great
ly interested in the exhibit being prepared
for the fair. Mrs. Miller says that it is
her object TO reproduce exact counter
part OF a homestead such as are owned
and called home by the natives of the
poorer classes.
The idea is gathered from Mrs. Miller's
conversation that the women of the island
are victims of their own misdirected en-
ergy. They work lnduStriOuSly, but not
toward the ends that will profit them most.
An attempt will be made to introduce and
promote the gourd industry in this cOun-
try. Gourds are subject to great utility.
The natives consider them Indispensable.
and in every phase of their daily life they
play an important part.
Work done by children of the Industrial
School will be exhibited. and it is hoped
that sufficient interest may be excited in
this work to draw contributions for the
introduction of department of domestic
science in the school,
THE women of the upper class of Porto
Rico, educated mostly in Spain, Paris and
the States, are both charming and intel
lectual." says Mrs Miller. s-s-
Most of them speak four languages
huently. The lower class are in the most
abject poverty. Their condition is described
as pitiaDle Nevertheless. despite this pow
erty. the progress made since the American
invasion is encouraging.
Although Mr.. Miller's home is in Canton
o.. he has many friends i'm this city. Since
his marriage in Indianapolis. sixteen years
ago, he has made several visits TO Mr. Igoe
and his success in Porto Rico is thorough
ly felt and appreciated by indianapolis

One hundred and fifty strange-garbed and

morning over the Big Four for St Louis.
where they went to take part in the expo
sition. Their train stopped long enough TO
give them an opportunity for lunch. They
were served with unromantic sandwiches
and coffee at the Union Station restaurant.
Many of the company had never before
seen ham sandwich. and their attitude
toward this great American product
amusing. They would take up the little
rolls, eye them suspiciously, and, with
knowing smiles. shoot questioning glances
at their servitors. Finally, however, hun
ger got the better of their suspicious, and
soon the whole company was eating ham
sandwiches as though it had been nurtured
on them from infancy.
The Tyrolese were dressed in their native
of the Scotch Highlanders. They were very
gay and inclined TO be noisy, but seemed TO
take great interest in all that was going on
about them.
In their native land these people are
noted for their remarkable ability in play

to be the greatest ''yodlers" in the world

SPRING WEATHER SEEMS
JUST TOO GOOD TO Be TRUE
New Suits, New Gowns, New Hats
and Bright Smiles Bloom on
First Springlike Sunday.
SMALL BOY GAMBOLS
Excursions Bring Some People
Into City and Excursionists
See the Sights.

Nervous dread took possession of many
of the residents OF Indianapolis yesterday
morning when they awakened to realiza-
tion of the fact that spring was rely here
and that they would have to dig up the
spring ''togs'' they had buried in dark
closets about the middle of last month
when it looked as if winter was going to
last all summer. 1t was not that they were
sorry the first warm Sunday had come. but
that they feared the ravages of buffalo
moths, for it is well-known fact that
moth would just as soon dine off a new
suit as an old one
Nevertheless. smiling happy people wore
their clothes yesterday. many for the
first time since the finery was taken from
the tailor for Easter Everybody seemed
gay as they promenaded the streets, free
from the cumbersome cloaks and over
coats that had been their constant COM
panions since about the first of last Sep
tember.
The spirit of spring thrust itself into the
soul of the small boy and he loafed around
the corners, played ball on the common and
missed Sunday school, perhaps for the
first time since several weeks before Christ
mas. The desk sergeants telephone bell at
the police station rang more than once dur
ing the day a prelude to an announce
ment that a gang of boys in some part of
the city was getting loud and disturbing
the Sunday quiet.
a crowd of visitors were to be seen
loafing around the monument all during
the day and late at night many were still
there listening to the ripple of the cas-
cades and languidly watching the glimmer
of the water under the glare of the cleo
trio lights.
Another evidence of spring yesterday was
the excursions. Six were run, three into
the city and three out, but the people were
still evidently unwilling to trust the
weather for the extras were not very well
patronized. The Big Four ran excur-
sion to Auburn, Ind, the Vandalia ran one
TO Terre Haute and the Cincinnati. Hamil-
ton & Dayton sent another TO Cincinnati
Those coming into the city were one over
the Big Four from Nation. ILL.,, one over
the same road from Cincinnati. and an
other over the Peoria & Eastern from
Champaign Ill Railroad officials estimate
the excursion crowds at about 800 people
to the train.
The weather man said last night that,
according to his charts, the hot weather
is not going to come all at once. and he
predicts that a drop of eight degrees in
temperature may be expected for to-mor-
row with probable showers for tonight

YOUTH IS SLAIN IN
DUEL WITH OFFICERS
Two Men Seriously Wounded as
Result of Attempt to Make
an Arrest.

CORVALLIS, Ore. April 24.-Ester Ready
is dead, James Dunn. ex-chief of police of
Corvallis, is, perhaps, fatally wounded,
and David A. Osburn, ex-sherif of Benton
county, is dangerously wounded as the re-
suit of a pistol duel to-day. Ready fired off
his pistol on the street, and Osburn under
took to arrest him. AS Osburn approached
Ready shot the officer through the neck.
Sheriff Burnett soon arrived, in company
with ex-Chief Dunn. Ready emptied his
revolver at them, one shot taking effect in
Dunn's abdomen.
Then Burnett fired, and Ready fell dead
with bullet in the head. Ready was about
eighteen years of age, and belonged to a
prominent Corvallis family.

POLISH REVOLUT|ON|STS
EXECUTED BY RUSSIANS
Eighteen Said to Have Been
Hanged, According to a Re
port from Warsaw.
PLOTTED FOR FREEDOM

WARSAW, April 4-It is reported here
that eighteen conspirators have been
hanged after their trial in connection with
Polish revolutionary plot. The location
OF the executions and the details OF the
alleged plot have not been made public.
According TO a dispatch from Berne.
Switzerland, about ten days ago the Polish
patriotic committee, acting on information
that the Russian government was about to
demand that the Polish revolutionary fun6
which for many years had been kept IN
Berne, be turned over TO IL by the Swiss
government, had removed the fund surrep-
, titiously to an unknown point. This was
considered in some quarters evidence that
the committee anticipated or perhaps had
planned an early use of the fund for revo-
lutiOnary purposes.
