THE HOTEL IMPROVEMENTS

Mrs. J. e. Torrey. the owner, has about
story brick hotel building, located on
the corner of Eighteenth street and Sec
ond avenue. The hotel was completed a
month or SO ago. A large number of
well known hotel men from different
points in the south have inspected the
building since its completion and 1t is
said several offers have been received by.
the owner. Mrs. Torrey said yesterday
afternoon:
THE negotiations are just about closed
for the lease of the building, but l am
not in a position now to give any names.
1 hope. however. that the papers will be
signed within the next few days and the
name of the tenant will then be made
public"
The new hotel has a good location, ana
it is understood that the tenant securing
it, will run a first class establishment in
every respect The building contains a
large number of rooms and 1t Is equipped
with all modern conveniences.
ST. Nicholas Hotel.
Neill & Co., the new proprietors OF the
st. Nicholas hotel, cafe and buffet have
assumed charge. 1t is understo that an
effort is being made by the proprietors to
secure a long lease on the house In or
der that they can make many improve
ments. If the present lease can be ex-
tended, it Is said the tenants will be ready
to add two stories to the building, maxi
ing it a six-story brick structure.
If the promised two new floors are
added it will give about forty additional
rooms to the house.
Metropolitan Hotel improvements.
Just as soon as the leases of the present
tenants of the Metropolitan hotel expire,
which will not be for several years yet,
1t is understood that w. II. Woodward,
owner of the property will raze the pres
ent building and erect on its site a
modern fire proof hotel building, 1t to
conform INTELLECTUALLY with the ten
story Woodward office building located
on the corner of First avenue and Twen-
tieth street
! The Metropolitan hotel property was
purchased sometime ago by Mr.. Wood
ward, and at the time the deal was con-
sumated an effort was made to secure i'm
mediate possession of the building which
is a five-story brick structure. The ten
ants, however. were not willing to can
eel their leases, and before any sub
stantial improvements are made, 1t viii
be necessary for the tenants to surrender
their leases.
The Metropolitan hotel is compare
lively new structure having been erected
shortly after the fire which destroyed th'
old building, a few years ago.

Mike Coxsey for Treasurer

The Eureka Springs Daily Times Echo makes the following comment upon the candidacy of M. s. Coxsey for the office of county treasurer:
 ''M. s. Coxsey, of Green For est was in the city yesterday. Mr. Coxsey is candidate for county treasurer, subject to the action of the coming democratic primary. Mikes announcement for this office came as an agree able surprise to his many friends throughout the county. Every one knows that he is a deserving man at the hands of his party and his friends are urging thaG his claims be weighed heavily when the time comes to vote. He has been an active worker in the democratic party since manhood. When a man sought an office heretofore, Mike Coxsey was in variably asked to get his coat off and do service for him. He al- ways responded to those he con- sidered most deserving and his work has been source of great aid to number of office seekers. Now Mr. Coxsey asks lift for himself and if he is successful in getting elected to this high and responsible office, Carroll county can boast of having one of the most efficient and deserving men in the state for treasurer. Cox sey is self made man. He has to battle through life without the assistance of father or mother, they both having died when ne was but small boy.
 He is a native of Carroll county and this is the first time he has ever asked any consideration at the hands of his party. His friends consider his chances bright as Mike is well known throughout the county and he is recognized as good mixer and 8 gentleman of the true55 type.
