IRON MOUNTAINS
 PARTIAL CONCESSION.

In reply to petition of the committee representing the Front street property owners, the Iron Mountain railroad company has offered to "dead head" fifty car loads of rock for the Front street paving and to give a half rate or one cent per hundred pounds on all additional cars, it being esti- mated that about 150 cars will be required.
 The proposition of the Iron Mountain cuts down the expense of the paving from $S,00O to $5,O0O, and will thus mean a saving of one-sixth from the es- timated cost. The committee promptly accepted the offer.

 However, it would hardly do to skip Master Wiley McMinn's songs, given in his sweet and unperturbed childish voice that completely captured his audi ence. He is always very cute and his serious airs lose none of their effectiveness in such public appearances.

SURVEY BOARD
 CONDEMN EQUIPMENT.

Little Rock, July 29. A board of survey, consisting of Gen. B. w. Green, chairman. Lieut.. Col. w. K. Surridge, Col. H. c. Nc Burney of Newport, and Capt. Comeford of Little Rock, met here yesterday for the purpose of making an inspection of cer- tain old stores that had been consigned to the state militia during the last few years. All of this old equipment, much of which had been lost, worn out, or thrown aside as useless, is charged up on the books of the war department against the state, although there is nothing to show for it except musty records and scraps of rubbish. It is estimated that there was four or five hundred thousand dollars worth of this equipment.
 The board decided to condemn all that had been received prior to 1901, that it may be charged off the books. While the state will not be given a credit cor responding to the amount thus charged off, the account will be taken off the books and the state will not be held accountable for tlNe "dead horse" any longer.

ORGANIZER MISSING.

Fl Dorado, July 29. W. E.. Mellard, living four miles west of here, left two weeks ago for Ashley county to organize farm ers' unions and visit a sister living there. Nothing has been heard of him since he left. His relatives are uneasy about him, and fear he is either sick or has met with an accident on his way, as he was travelling horseback and had a number of streams to cross on his route.

ORIGIN OF FIRE.

From an investigation of the recent Front street fire, it now seems the flames started in the roof over the partition separat- ing the paint shop and millinery store. As practically none of the stock of Mrs. Moore was burned and only the ceiling de- stroyed in this manner, the blaze evidently didn't originate in this store as at first supposed and stated in this paper.

 Friday Night.

wilton has suffered another ,9 astrous. blaze, losing one of Olts largest store buildings and ,sdhe residence of one of it's lead ,ooJng merchants. The flames were ,arirst noticed about 12 o'clock night in the frame store sslhilding of N. D.. Moon 6 Son,
 ahich was soon ablaze, prevent Jig the saving of any of the 4 stock.
 The residence of N. D. Moon stood near by and this was soon S ignited, though the household N goods were carried out. The ' house was completely destroyed and the home of Doctor T. w.. Tolar threatened, but the valiant work of citizens in the use of wet blankets and water over came the greedy flames. Had the night not been still one the fire would certainly have spread.
 James N. Moon, who with others worked heroicly in sav- ing the contents of the Moon home and the Tolar residence, was prostrated by the heat and fell in the grass. Some one saw him go down and by prompt use of ice and cold water he was revived.
 The postoffice and store of M. E. Davis was burglarized that night and a shotgun carried away as far. as the. railroad track and the theory of the fire is that burglars sought to use this means of covering their tracks.
 The store and stock, valued at $6OOO to $7O00, was a total loss, with $3500 insurance.
 The residence was worth about $1200, total loss, insurance $500.

 Prescott, July 30. Gov. Davis attended a picnic and barbecue given at Rosston yesterday by the Woodmen of the World. There were fully 1,500 people in attendance, and the spread was a bountiful one.

ARKANSAS MAN
 ENDS HIS LIFE.
Worlds Fair Grounds Scene of Another Suicide-Dead Man
 From Pine Bluff.

St. Louis, July 29. Within full view of a Jefferson guard Theo- dore Kinerle, aged 21, who came to St. Louis about two weeks ago from Pine Bluff, Ark, with Jos. Sewald, shot and killed himself on the Worlds Fair grounds to- day. Kinerle fired one shot into the air, as though to test his pistol, and then sent the second into his brain. Death was in- stantaneous.
 In the dead mans pocket was found a letter addressed to his chum, Sewald. It read: Il am tired of life. Your money is in bank in my name, $110. This belongs to you. l wish to be planted in this city by the union, and you will see that my grave is kept green.

another daughter, Mrs. Charles Nelson

to Colorado Springs and try to estab-
lish whether the dead woman and the
Kempter girl are the same. No word

tisement as practiced in the gayest OF

He has to make himself very ridicu-

Paris. however. as in London. every
sandwich man has a history. The
writer Of the article in La Vie IIlustre
has discovered that one had been a

another had always been congratulated

To be condemned this fall. This ar
ticle of wearing apparel which has
added to the beauty of many young
women has been condemned at the
National Milliners' Convention in Chi
cago. No woman who expects to be
considered in style will wear anything
but a closely fitting veil, and it must
be selected to fit her eyes, complexion
and shape of her face.
