Bruce Hays Tells of His Experience on
 hOuCk Train.

w. B. Hays, manager of the fizz mill, base ball team, opera house and other things, had oc. casion recently to ride on the Houck road from Cape Girardeau to Perryville, says the Poplar Bluff Citizen. He gives his ex. perience in this way:
 "The train stopped frequently. Bruce became restless and trou. blesome. A COW on the track caused a halt; then the train started, continued the journey for half an hour or so and then another stop.
 Whats wrong?" queried MT. Hays of the conductor.
 "A COW on the track.
 But I thought you drove it off"
 "So we did," said the conduc- tor, "but we've caught up with it again. '''

DISCUSSED AND DlSBANDED.
Game Sunday in Which Newport Made Monkeys of Locals Was largely Re- sponsibIe for Downfall of
 the Champions

The Poplar Bluff base ball team is a thing of the past, says the Poplar Bluff Citizen. The explosion occurred yesterday aft ernoon shortly after the drub- ping administered them by the Newport team. The game yes terday was the direct cause of the disbanding of the club ard will probably mark the closing for several years of sen1i-profes- sional base ball in this city. W. B. Hays, who has worked un- ceasingly for the team and the upbuilding of the sport in this city, is one of the most disgusted men we have seen for some time.
 The game yesterday between Newport and Poplar Bluff was by far the rcttenest thing that was ever pulled off in this city. For ,he first inning it looked pretty good to the large crowd present but the good part was so dreadfully short that it didn t count.
 P. J. Hynes pitched the first inning for the local team and let the visitors down without a thing. His arm gave way on him and Wagoner went in the box for the Champions @ with the result that Newport mopped up the earth with the idols of base ball fans of this city, and the home team went down to defeat by the awful drubbing- of 10 too. The visi- tors simply made monkeys of the home team and did not make more scores simply be- cause they got tired of running around the bases.

WILLIAM HARlIN KILLED.
Cotter Citizen Dies from injuries Re- ce1Ied in Jumping From an Iron Mountain Freight Train
 Monday Night.

William Harlin of Cotter in at- Stenpting to jump from freight strain or the Iron Mountain about k9 0 clock Monday evening slipped #and fell upon the track, the s-Wheels, passing over his right and left, legs and badly skinning pand breaking his left arm. The might leg was mashed from his toes to his body and the left was severed about the shin.
 The accident occurred on the main line directly in front of the passenger station and was wit messed by at least 50 people.
 fhe injured man was taken to a sSrgeon's office, where he died in about an hour, and his remains were turped overtto the embalm- CT to be prepared for shipment to his homefat Cotter.

STATE BOARD RESIGNS.
Majority of Members of Health Board Take This Step Because Gov ernor Has Shorn Them of
 Their Authority.

Little Rock, Aug. 28. Four members of the state board of health at 12 o'clock today mailed to Gov. Davis their resignations on account of the friction that has arisen between the board and the administration and Davis action yesterday in assuming full charge of the quarantine sit uation, giving orders that spe- cial permits of the board issued to Louisiana persons be disre- garded and that no more charges be made for health certificates.
 The members who resigned are Drs. G. M. D. Cantrell, presi- dent; R. B. Christian, secretary 1; w. H. Miller and w. B. Hughes. This leaves only two members, Dr. w. w. Jackson of Jonesboro and Dr. w. A. Abingdon of Beebe.
 The board says:
 This action is taken because we can not longer occupy posi- tions of responsibility and at the same time be interfered with and shorn of our authority as state board of health.
 we instituted and with the aid of the state military have successfully conducted until re- gently an effective and reason able state quarantine. Not a case of yellow fever has appeared in Arkansas. We have earnestly advised the raising of all local quarantines within the state and reliance altogether on the state quarantine so that the business and social interests of the state might be as little interfered with as possible and the necessity for the use of health certificates be largely obviated.
 We do not wish longer to be responsible for a quarantine we cannot control, and one which, at first both effective and conservative, is now fast becom- ing a wild, frenzied shotgun affair."
