DEATH OF MRS. KATHERINE E HOPKINS.

On Monday morning ! a 8 t g
cloud of sorrow passed over oul
city when it was known That Mrs
Kate Hopkins h a d been sum-
monsed to her Eternal Home.
For a year Mrs. Hopkins had
been in failing health and every
thing that devoted children and
loving relatives could do to bright
en- her last days was done. She,
prior to her marriage to DR.. James
w. Hopkins, prominent physi-
clan of this city, was Miss Kath-
crime Cabbott Nelson.
In 1870 her husband died leav-
ing her five small children to rear
n d educate. Being endowed
with a strong mind and much
culture which made her a brilliant
woman, she was fully capable of
managing for herself and chill
dren, which she did beautifully
She w as m m of
the Episcopal Church and de-
lighted to worship within its walls,
attending every service as long
as she was physically able to
do so. Always willing to
cheer and comfort those in dis-
tress; visiting the sick and needy;
ever faithful unto death, thus was
the long and useful life of true
follower of Christ.
The funeral service was held in
the Episcopal Church Tuesday
morning conducted by Rev. Mr..
Daiken, after which she was ten
derly laid to rest beside her hus-
band in Friendship Cemetery,
BY her request her four sons,
Messrs. Ed, Will, Beverly and
Jim Hopkins and her grand sons,
Messrs. Charles a n d Erskine
Hopkins acted as pail bearers, a
very uncommon but b autiful
sight, for those who loyed her
best to handle her body last.
To the sorrowing ones genuine
sympathy is offered from hun
dreds of loving friends throug h
out the city.

MOBILE & OHIO To
CHANGE SCHEDULE.
And Move Two or Three Good Families
From Columbus.

1t is currently reported that the
Mobile &c Ohio Railroad will
make change in schedule Sun
day which in one sense will be
a benefit to Columbus, but in
another will deprive us of two or
three good families.
The change consists in starting
train No. "a from Tuscaloosa at
s O. lock a. m. instead of Colum-
bus, and running to Artesia for
the south bound connection of
the day train on the main line,
and No. % will go to Tuscaloosa
at night. instead of stopping
here.
This will benefit the business
interests of Columbus in that it
will enable the people between
here and Tuscaloosa to come here
in the morning, spend several
hours-and we hope several
dollars-and return home at
NIGHT.

IS CENTS FOR COTTON.
Comments on Secretary Wilson's Crop
Estimate.

An Atlanta, Ga, special says:
President Harvie Jordan of the
Southern Cotton Association, in
an interview this morning says:
1.-The open declaration of Secre-
tary Wilson of the department of
agriculture that the recent con-
dition report Of 68.8 is accurate
and trustworthy n d which
shows that the years crop will be
in the neighborhood of only ten
million bales,' should knock out
all high estimates and put every
body down on the working basis
of a short crop. Secretary Will
sons estimates confirms the re-
port made by i association
some time ago predicting crop
of about ten million bales. As
this report is confirmed by accu-
rate information from the w o
most reliable sources it is unques-
tionable that the remainder OF the
crop now in the hands of the plant
ers should not be marketed r
less than 10 cents a pound. II

taken, pictorially, from the ex- position city to the magic me, tropolis of the gold-digger in the Klondike. This show is no illu- sion; it is a series of splendid pictures thrown upon a huge canvas, and lighted by means of a costly contrivance which gives the proper hues and tints.
 The voyager sits in a comfort able chair, in a cosy theater, and sees first picture of the harbor at Portland upon the screen, then by successive stages he IS taken to the Klondike, stopping on the way at Tacoma, Seattle, Skagway and other points of in terest. The great cities of the Puget Sound country are shown by night and by day, and the trip up the sound and along the Yukon river is pictured most realistically.
 At Dawson is shown the great fire which practically destroyed that city a few years ago. Tie peaceful town is seen at night, and suddenly the flames burst forth from roofs and windows and envelope the place.
 Scenes along the historic White Pass are shown, hnd the pictures are accompanied by an eXplana- tion from a lecturer. After hav- ing taken this trip one knows more about the journey to Alaska and tie Klondike than can be gained from a days reading.

 In Hiding in Arkansas County.

Lonoke, Aug. II. Saturday night Sheriff M. C. House, hav- ing received reliable information to the effect that Pat Lacey was in hiding in the woods near town quickly formed an armed posse and went in search of him. When they reached the point where Lacey was reported to have been no trace was found of him, and although they did not give up the search until after sunrise Sunday morning, Lacey had so completely covered his tracks that their long ride was without any results.
 Lacey is the welI-known Ar kansa s-TeXas bandit who, few years ago, was so prominent in this county.
 He belongs to gang of out laws in Arkansas county, and as there are always cases against some of this gang. he is said to attend almost every session ot circuit court at this place, camp ing in the outskirts of the town.
 Several times on these occa- sions he has engaged Ill fights with the officers and at one time he shot Sheriff Holcomb and re- ceived a serious wound himself and then was not captured until large and more determined posse went after him on the fol- lowing day.
 He is now an escaped convict from Texas and is believed to have his headquarters in Arkan- sas county.
