Peace in Sight.

peace pact between the Fourche River and Bryant Lumber companies, which have been engaged in a bitter warfare at Fourche, Perry county, for the past year, was practically agreed upon at a conference held by the attor ueys representing the two companies. A former attempt to reach an agree men failed aud it was thought that all chance of the companies getting to- gether had passed, but it is now be lieved that there is little doubt of an agreement being reached. The agree ment has been drawn up but has not yet been signed, and will not be for several days at least. It has been agreed to submit the one point upon which the parties have been unable to get together to arbitration within the next fifteen days and the finding of the arbitrators will be incorporated in the agreement This is d victory for sthe Bryant company. as it has been holding out for that action since the peace negotiations began This one point involves the rate at which the Fourche River company will haul tim
 
 Der that may be acquired by the Bry ant company in the future The Fourehe company wished this matter left to be determined when occasion should arise in the future, but the Bry- ant people insisted that 1t should be determined and incorporated in the agreement. and they won their point. No announcement has been made as to who will compose the board of arbtra- ton which will settle the question.
 Under the agreement as tentatively agreed to the Fonrche River company is to build a railroad within the next i've years on a line of survey made by The Fourehe River Valley and Indian Territory Railway Company At least ene-fffth of the uneonstrueted part of the road is to be built each year The Bryant company grants the Fourche River company right of way over its lands for this railroad and the Fourche River company grants the Bryant com paHY q right of Way over its lands for the transportation of timber to the railr0ad

BITS OF FASHION.

Black, dark blue and brown gowns require light gloves, ruffies, a light vest or yoke and undersleeves, but the new millinery may correspond with the gown relieved with the lighter tone. If touch of color is needed, add cluster of carnations in the dress and flowers of corresponding color to the millinery, but no colored trimmings on dark gown of solid coloring.
 And hats-there never were so many radical changes It's as if the whole world millinery were in a state of up- heayal. Big hats appear here and there -half-shamefaced before the tiny. tip tilted things we've been accustomed to and liked for their saucy little style.
 A new brown is around town-bril- liant in comparison with the rather lifeless color We usually mean by brown. It is especially pretty in the horsehair hats. as the ruddy tint ia if takes the light best in horsehair
 The revival of an old fashion is the sailor hat with wide crown and mar row brim The favorite way of trim ming them is to drape on a veil of mousseline de soie in one of the neW rich shades.
 Tiny three-cornered hats for wee tots are trimmed with three prim TO- settes of baby ribbon-one on each place where the brim turns up
 Light weight wash nannels have polka dots of color or white embroid- cred at regular intervals over ths cloth.
 Lots and lots of pale blue hats-tha shade that goes with everything Wocn.

Serious Wreck on Iron Mountain Road.
 Southbound cannon ball train No. of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern ran into switch which had been tempered with and seven of the ten cars composing the train were derailed together with the engine. Remarkable as it may seem, not a pas senger was killed, but the engineer and fireman both met death at their posts.
 The scene of the accident was at the north end of the wye, where the Batesville branch or the White River road, leaves the main line The acci- dent occurred at 4:15 and the train was making full schedule time when the switch was struck. An examina ton of the switch revealed the fact that the connecting rod had been re- moved, and that bolt in the rod had also been taken out.
 The engine, No. 1898, with Engineer Horton at the throttle, was demolish- ed and the engineer was buried be- heath the coal from the tank The fireman, Arch Doolin. of Poplar Bluff was also caught as the engine went over.
 The train was carrying a heavy pas senger list from St Louis, south. and it is indeed remarkable that a large number were not killed. As it was, several were badly injured but from reports received none are fatally hurt.

Aug. 8.-Tha eye Of the opening of the alsimportant ne gotiations at Portsmouth sees a belief. in the possibility of peace Even the hope that Che negotiators win reach peaceful understanding is more prev alent than it was a week ago. and the country and the government are ,.aiting anNiously for message from t-e Uni.ed States
 The list efforts to influence Japan and the Japanese plenipotentiaries through the medium of press expres- sions have been made, the denouement being now too close to make further efforts to sway public opinion at home or abroad. Many zemstvoists until re. gently favored continuance of the war solely because they considered that some outside impelling power, such as war. was necessary to force the government to grant the country the demanded reforms As the result of the conference at Peterhof they have now become convinced that the granting of a popular assembly on a comparatively liberal basis is assured and hence they no longer desire a continuance of the war. and desire peace on humane grounds As the conviction gains ground the ranks of the reformers who desire peace swell and the emperor is daily receiving communications from zemstvosts and others setting forth the eountry's grow ing desire for peace.
