SEARCY AND DIES ARC
 BRANCH BEING PUSHED.

Work on the extension of the Searcy and Des Arc Branch of the Rock Island, from Des Arc to to Hagen, is being pushed rapid ly to completion. several cars of steel for this road have been re- ceiyed at Little Rock within the last few days, and are being rushed through over the Mem phis branch to the new work.
 The pile-driver is now in the Little Rock shops for repairs. It will be sent out in a day or two to be'used on the approaches of the White river bridge at De- Vall's Bluff, where the Searcy and Des Arc line makes a june tion with the Memphis branch of the Rock Island.
 This line, when completed, will probably become a part of the Memphis district, as the office of trainmaster on this road has been abolished, md tie jurisdiction of the superintendent and trainmas- ter of the Arkansas division has been extended to include the iSearcy and Des Arc.

PARTY DROWNED
 IN WHITE RIVER
Launch From Clarendon Strucl a Snag and Sank-Only Two
 Members Saved.

Clarendon, Sept. 5.-John H.. Diggle and Miss Mamie Johnson of Stuttgart and Mrs. Leta Vas gein of Mullen, Idaho, were drowned in the White river near here about 8o'clock last eveving, while returning to Clarendon from up the river in MT. Diggle's gasoline launch.
 Two other members of the par ty, V. J. Dawson and Miss Gretchen Shaw, were saved be- cause of their being in the foe part of the boat when the stern sank to the bottom. They were coming down stream at a speed of about 15 miles an hour, when the boat ran squarely into a snag in such manner that her bow ran up clear from the water and the the stern sank. The engine was located near the rear and the weight of this caused the stern to sink until it reached the bot tom. The three who were drown ed were seated near the back end. Diggle was lighting a lan- tern when the boat struck the snag, and the shock threw Mrs. Vasgein and Miss Johnson back onto him, with the result that none had a chance to secure hold on anything. Diggle was said to be an expert swimmer, and was probably carried down by the women, who chung to him. :
 Dawson and Miss Shaw were just able to keep their heads above water by clinging to the brass rail on the front of the boat. They were rescued from their position in the water by some timbermen, who were at- tracted by Miss Shaw's screams and went out after them in boat. They were not in the wa ter long enough to suffer any in- jury from the experience.
 None of the bodies has as yet been recovered. The launch was owned by Diggle and was one of the finest on the river, being 30 feet long and seating 15 people. This makes the second thrilling experience of Miss Shaw recent ly, as she was the only passenger saved in a railroad wreck in w. oming last summer.

CRAIGHEAD COUNTY.

Jonesboro, Sept. 5. The cleo tion has passed off in the city and county quietly, and the indica- tions now are that Jeff Davis has carried the county by a good ma- jority, and it is further believed that the county has gone dry. A strong fight was made by both the whisky people and the anti whisky people. The vote boiled was not as large as usual.
 The ladies of the city worked hard to-day to assist in voting out liquor license at each of the polling places. They served free lunches and cold temperance drinks and urged all the voters to vote against license, and it is thought that the scheme has done much good. Mrs. J. B. Clark and Mrs. E. A. Peterson, assisted by fully one hundred others, did faithful work, and at the first Baptist church there was an all-day prayer meeting going on.

JEFF AND LICENSE
 WIN IN JACKSON.
Reduced Majorities for Davis and i'm Favor of License-Re- turns are Slow in
 Coming In.

The returns from the State election, in so far as Jackson county goes, are very meager, but indicate that Davis will have aspGajority of 300, and that the advocates of license will win by probably $50 votes. Little inter- est was manifested from all pre- cincts reported and the vote was uniformly light.
 The city of Newport gave Dsvis only 25 majority over Myers. and complimented it's hyfne candidate for gubernatorial hSnors, Capt. J. B. Wilmans, with AZ votes. Myers carried the Second ward by 39 majority, and the country precinct at the experimental farm gave Davis a bad of 12.
 For governor the First ward Eave Davis 94: Myers, 30; Pen Jose, 1; Wilmans, 22. Second bvard-Davis, 72; Myers, Ill; Wilmans, 20; making the totals, Davis, 166; Myers, Al; Wilmans, I42.. As there were 382 votes cast lin the two wards, a considerable number contented themselves with scratching Davis and all the other nominees for the head of the ticket.
 Both wards went for license by an overwhelming vote, the First by 1O3 for and 50 against; the Second by 155 to 63. The coun- try precinct of Union township al so voted for license.
 The constitutional amendments are not being voted upon gener- ally. For instance, in Rich woods, out of a total vote of 62, only 19 were cast for or against @se amendments. Such as do we are giving them a big ma i@y.
