Supported by Citizens
Mass Meeting at Court House Largely Attended Important Com
mttees Appointed TO Rush the Enterprise.

On Monday evening the consolidated
bands called the people together at the
court house park and were prepared to
give an open air concert. The ladies'
were also present ready to serve ice
cream when heavy rain storm came
along and drove the whole outfit into
the court house.
Without doubt the rain helped rather
than hindered the project. The ladies
served ice cream in the hall way down
stairs and the meeting was held in the
court room.

had been raised toward the auditorium
fund and proceeded to call for cOntri-
buttons sufficient to make up the
required sum of $4,000. Only a few
moments were required to secure
pledges amounting to nearly Sl,OOO
more and then the band was called on
to play the triumphal march which
was done with zeal. On motion the
chair was authorized to appoint COM
mittee on organization, selection OF
site and plans and specifications.
1t was voted that the subscriptions
be kept open for a few days at least so
that everybody might have a chance
to contribute their mite toward help
ing out on this project which should
receive the hearty support of every
citizen.
On motion Chairman Kerr was auth
orized to appoint committees on organ
ization and Incorporation, site and
plans and specifications. The follow
ing committees have been named and
are now at work. The committee on
lite is the most essential as the plans
will have to be made in accordance
with the plat of ground secured, to a
certain extent.

PSYCHOLOGICAL.
JERRY c. BAILEY.

Jerry c. Bailey, an old and re- spected citizen of Newport, died Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock as the result of paralysis, which had made his last years almost those of an invalid. For the past week he had grown steadily worse and the nearness of death was realized by him, for he was conscious to the last.
 The deceased was a member of the Methodist church in his old home, and had recently placed his letter with the local church. Big hearted, kind and generous, he had a high sense of honor and honesty. He was a native of Bolivar, Hardeman county, Tenn, and had reached the age of 59 years.
 The funeral services were held Monday morning at the home of George w. Yeast, conducted by Rev. Geo. B. Norton. Burial at Walnut Grove.

CONNECTION SOON
 WITH YELLVlLLE.
Rails Being Laid Above Cottel On White River Road, and Another Section Will
 Soon be Opened.

Track laying on the railroad is progressing right along across Marion county, says the Yellville Echo. They are putting down about 4,000 feet of steel a day, having passed Flippin last Fri day and unless some unexpected delay occurs, will reach Yellville station Saturday evening, and push right on as far as Georges S creek, where a temporary sus- pension of the work will be nec- essary until the trestle across Georges creek valley is com pleted. About one-third of the structure is already done, and after the road reaches there so the heavy timbers can be SUD- piled by rail, the work can be carried on much more rapidly than at present, while every thing has to be hauled from Cot ter on wagons. When construc- tion passes this point it will be extended on to Omaha, where another hold up will be encoun- tered, awaiting the completion of the tunnel at that place. It is understood that passenger ser vice will be extended to Yellville in a few days or as soon as the necessary side tracks can be put down, as the schedule has al- ready been changed to allow for the additional run between here and Cotter and leave that point for Newport at labout the same Ald schedulatiuiA.

OVER THE DAM IN A BOAT.
Two Venturesome Youths Make the Perilous Trip in Safety,
 But the Next May Not.

Ed Holmes and Will Matheny were going down the river to the fishing grounds at the dam in a skiff, says the Batesville Guard. Their purpose was to go through the lock, but as they drew near, Matheny, moved by the venture some spirit that impels youth, suggested, Let's go over the dam.
 Holmes, who was rowing, said nothing, but turned the prov of the boat towards the middle of the dam and pulled steadily at the oars. They were soon in the swift current.
 You are not going over the dam, are you?" inquired Mathe- ny, little: startled perh ps at the promptness with which his suggestion had been accepted.
 That's what you said, wasn't t it"' inquired Holmes, without changing his course. A moment later they were on the crest of the dam, and, with bulging eyes, over they went with the rushing torrent. When they landed in the dancing waters twelve feet below their skiff shot into the air, mid a shower of spray, and did not stop until it reached the smooth waters a hundred feet away. The young fellows in it were a little wet and nervous, but safe. This is a dangerous thing, however, and they had better let 1t alone.

MRS. LOUISE EMPIE.


 Late Saturday afternoon the sad news of the death of Mrs. Louise Empie, the wife of our fellow townsman and respected citizen, w. B. Empie, passed over the wires, bringing sorrow into the hearts of all those who had enjoyed an intimate acquaint- ance with the lovely. character of the deceased. Death had taken place at 5 o'clock that afternoon, after several days of lingering hope upon the part of loved ones, that found no en- couragement in her sinking and unconscious condition.
 For number of years the de- ceased had suffered much from a chronic stomach trouble, but had sufficiently recovered one month ago from such an illness to enjoy a day with her husband, just up from a long sickness, at the home of her brother, MT. H. L. Remmel, in Little Rock. But the happiness of this reuniting day was marred by a fall Mrs. Empie sustained, breaking the bone of one limb. However, her recov- cry from this accident was well under way when a sudden change for the worse occurred Saturday that ended a week later in her demise at St. Vincent's infrm- ary. The efforts of medical sci ence and skill had failed, the ministrations of love were offered up tender sacrifice upon the altar of devotion by those left behind.
 In the evening of life had the summons come and found the departing soul prepared. The kindly beams of a morning sun, shifting to the glare of the noon- day orb and changing again to the milder glow of the sunset rays, had in their successive stages nodded and developed the beauty of her life and made it the central figure of a happy home.
 The wife and mother, the en- bodiment of all that is called for in these relations, charitable, un- selfish, loving, kind and true, = her calling to a home above leaves sorrow deep-seated in the hearts of those bound by strong ties of love, and the sympathy of our people is extended to console their grief. Yet how light is all this compared with the assurance made to those who 'have fought the good fight and have kept the faith" The riches of heaven are their heritage.
 IEur NE DrrrAcrn
 The birth place of Mrs. Empie, whose maiden name was Louise Remmel, was near Cologne, Ger many, and the date of her birth was May 19, 1842. With her parents she came to this country when only seven years age. They located in Stratford, Full ton county, New York, which is in the Mohawk valley.
 After her marriage to Mir. w. B. Empie, 42 years ago, Fort Wayne, Indiana, became their home, and later Lafayette. In 1879 MrA and Mrs. Empie came to Newport, where the former was u7gaged in business

 The health of the deceased had been very poor for the past three years, but she has been the ob- ject of the most tender care and affection. She joined the Pres byterian church early in married life and her life gave expression to her faith.

Birds That Blush.

An observer finds that some birds blush. He writes: We have 2 very fine specimen of the blue and yell low macaw which displays this trait not often. for he is remarkably good tempered-and the blush is an invari- able sign of anger; so much so, that We warn all friends that while his cheeks remain white all attacks are feigne6 and in play and can be disregarded yet if the danger signal-red-shows to look out and keep out of reach. {" The owner of blue and orange macaw says that its white. parchment-like face becomes bright pink, especially above the peak. whenever 1t is angry or sxciTd.
