Adam and Eve on Earth.

Ft. Smith, Nov .-N. In all of the history of the local postoffice there never happened before such a case as came up on Friday evening. For the past week a letter was held in the postoffice addressed to Adam & EAe. In spite of the name, the letter was posted as uncalled for, although the clerks thought it was a let ter from a maniac.
 Late that afternoon two de- crepit looking old nen called at the delivery window of the office and asked for any mail that might be held for Adam & Eve. The letter was given to them and the old man explained the situa- tion by saying they were travel ing preachers and that their as- sociation had been such that they had decided to term one another Adam & Eve.

He is considerably hampered by reason of Gov. Davis advising and almost de- manding that the people support Judge Little for governor and defeat Bob Rogers, and many Davis shouters declare they are 21 years old, white and free born, and won't submit to the dictation of the governor or any other man.

Assistant Engineer of White River Road Work Says First of Year Will
 Witness Through Trains.

w. TT Gray, assistant engineer of construction on the new White River 1hilroad, was at the gen. eral offices of the Missouri-Pa- cific-IApn Mountain, at St. Louis, < Saturday, and in conversation stated that there remains but four $nd one-half miles of the < track to lay before the road is opened for traffic. MT. Gray stated that the work is going forward as rapidly as is possible, and that the line is being ballast ed in such a manner as will pre- serve the roadbed for years with Nxery little extra work.

 At almost partment, and it is sorrow 'Thafle most strenuous masterpiece the contractors are appropriated.
 wss Grything possible is being done to complete the line within the next thirty days and it is be- lieved that on or about January 1 trains will be operated over the entire road.
 The telegraph department was asked several weeks ago to con- plete the line in order that Gen. eral Superintendent De Bernardi could have immediate wire com munication through. This the department did, but under the greatest difficulties. The country between the ends where con- struction work is progressing is the toughest in the entire state, and practically impossible for wagons. Therefore, it was ab- solutely impossible for the tele- graph department to set a line of poles. Therefore the wires were strung on trees, and for a portion of the distance remain there today.
 For ten miles each hole sunk for poles had to be dynamited, and the cost of constructing this line was immense. The con struction gang is still engaged at this work, and it is believed that it will be completed before trains are running through.
