CHERRY'S DEFEAT MAY
 MEAN SHAKING UP.

The defeat of L. W. Cherry for reelection as a member of the school board of Little Rock has again awakened an interest in the prospect of a change being made in the position of superin- tendent of the city schools. This has been more or less a factor for several years, although not every time an open issue in the election of school directors. MT. Cherry has been one of Super intendent Rightsells strong ad- herents. It is said that the new school board will consider a change. Among those most prominently mentioned as his successor in this important post are J. J. Doyne, former state superintendent, and J. H. Hine- mon, the present state superin- tendent.

Between Reed Spring and Branson are five miles of trestles and bridges which are being putin as fast as the material can be put on the ground. No work has been done on the bridge at Branson and probably little will be done before the track is laid to the river next spring when Branson will be- come the terminal and remain so until the bridge has been com- pleted.

VICTIM OF HIS
 OWN REVOLVER.

J. s. Luttrell, formerly living north of Newport, who recently left here for Shawnee, Tex. overland, happened to very serious accident when within one days drive of his destination.
 The family were sitting around the camp fire, when Luttrell took his revolver from the scabbard to clean it, and in replacing the weapon, accidentally discharg- ed it.
 The ball entered the left thigh of MT. Luttrell and passed al- most through, being removed by a physician later, as it had lodg- ed just beneath the skin. MT. Luttrell is recovering from the effects of his wound, and expects to make crop this year in Red River county, being much pleas ed with the country.

 INNOCENT'S MIND.
Vouched-for Story That Young Arkansan Lost His Mind Breeding Over Glimpse
 Into Next World.

Rogers, Jan. GA gentleman from Madison county who is wis., iting in Rogers vouches for the truth of the following:
 Last summer Jasper Ray, the 2O-year-old son of Henry Ray, an old and we'll known citizen of Madison county and a minister of the gospel, attended the worlds fair. While there he visited one of the "pike" at fractions known as Hereafter. :"
 The aim of the management was to make the place as myste- rious and hair-raising as possible. There were ghosts, devils, spooks, etc., without number. The experience there is said to have made a great impression upon the mind of the young man and he brooded over the matter.
 Soon afterwards he heard sermon upon the mysteries of the hereafter which only served to further unbalance his mind, and the informant says that young Ray is now in serious condi- tion and has to be closely guard ed to prevent him from doing violence to himself.

NEGRO CHILD
 BURNED TO DEATH.

Monday morning about 10 o'clock the fire alarm was given and the fire was soon located at Bud Shells, colored, in the east ern part of town, says the Bates vile Guard, and before assist ance could be rendered the flames had reached such proportions that they could not be managed. It appears that Shells wife had gone over to neighbours, about fifty yards away, leaving two children, one about two and a half and the other about one and a half years old, in the house, and had not much more than reached her destination when flames were seen in the building.
 A colored man happened along about that time and broke down the door, but the flames burst out at the opening and rendered him powerless. In the excite ment the children were forgot ten and the younger one was burned to death, after having crawled to the back door. The oldest one made it's escape.

NATURE SPARES
The stricken Rose From Grief.

What a fortunate provision of nature
1t is that deprives the rose of mental
suffering; for how poignant would be its
grief TO discover. In the height Of its
blooming glory. that a canker fed at its
heart, and that It's beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is veritable
store house OF pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast a gloom over the lives of thousands
of young women. but thanks to the in
Vestigations of scientists the true cause
OF hair destruction is now known to be
a germ or parasite that burrows into
the hair follicles. Newbro's Herpieide
absolutely destroys this germ, thus
permitting the hair to grow as ma
ture intended. Sold by leading drug

Serious Charge Against Labor Leaders

Serious Charge Against Labor Leaders
The teamsters' strike proper in Chi
cago has almost been lost sight of the at
tention of both sides to the controversy
being occupied more with the charges oil
bribery in connection with labor unions
in that CITY than with the original issue
Within the next "a hours, it was said
last night, history of the secret transac-
tions of labor unions in Chicago for the
last four years would be made public, and
that the information would implicate
many labor leaders, who, it is asserted,
have accepted bribes to call off strikes.
The man who is expected to give this in
formation is John G. Driscoll, former
secretary of the Coal Team Owners AS
ISOLATION. who has been the Intermediary
between the employers and the tesmsters'
unions in Chicago for the last four years.
Driscoll says he will appear before the
grand jury today with documentary eyi-
deuce showing that several labor leaders
have been receiving large sums OF money
through Driscoll, which, ii is declared by
the latter, the employers were forced tc
pay TO prevent their employees being call
ed out on strike To substsntiate bis
statements, Driscoll displayed last NIGH
a bank check book, the stubs on which
he said correspond to the amounts o
money paid to these labor leaders. This
hank book will be offered in his testi
mony today before the grand jury.
The method used by Driscoll, accord
ing to his own statement, was this Al
employer or an organization ofemployer'
who was affected by strike or who was
Iikely to be. would ask him to use hi
influence to bring about an adjustment
of the differences. The fees, according
to Driscoll, paid the union men range
from 500 to thousands Of dollars tn
aggregate being estimated by him a
$50, 900.
Driscoll declares that he never receives
a dollar Of this money for his enoi'7 il
