 OF ROCK ISLAND.

Sunday James Harris, division passenger agent for the Rock Island, H. l.. Dennis, chief clerk of Geo. H. Lee and G. D. How ard, Little Rock agent for the system, visited Newport bring hg with them reporter for one of the Little Rock papers.
 The pencil-pusher contributes tQthe columns of his paper a glowing account of the resources of the branch from Brinkley to Jacksonport, which he says are not known to Little Rock and present untold possibilities for the wholesale houses of that city.
 Of Newport he says:
 "This town is the scene of great activity at this time. Many new business enterprises are springing up here, and recently Ia beginning has been made o1

COMPANIES TO RETIRE
 RELIEF BILL DEFEATED.
Companies Decide to Refuse to Insure From Outside State Milan Bill Put to Rest
 By Senate.

The old line fire insurance com panies have decided at meeting in New York to withdraw from Arkansas when Logan enactment becomes effective, March 23. The action went further than this. They will write no insurance on Arkansas prop erty at points outside the state, or reinsure any company which may continue to do business in the state. This would remove the hope which large property owners have entertained that they could go outside the state and secure all the insurance they desired.
 Simultaneous with this action is the defeat in the senate by a vote of 25 to 6 of the Milan bill to allow old line insurance com panies to continue to do business in this state. Senator Gotham reminded Hot Springs of her ma- jorities for Davis and declared that they must take their 'medi- cine undiluted.
 The responsibility of Davis for this law cannot be doubted; he glories in it and his enemies lay upon him it's promised calamities. If it proves the unwise law it threatens to be, it should serve as the monument to the fallen colossus.

ELECTRIC LINE
 FOR TWO CITIES
1iving Capital and Valley of Vapors Electric Railway Con-
 nection Seems Certainty.

Little Rock, March 13.-It is almost certainty now that the proposed interurban electric line from Little Rock to Hot Springs by way of Benton will be built.
 L. Garrett, one of the promo ters, has been here for several days working up an interest in the project and has secured the cooperation and subscriptions of many of the city's most infuen- tial business men.
 Five of his associates-A. S. Blodgett, P. M. Pierce, H. Mur- dock, M. D. Welch and B. E.. Bowman-will arrive today from Springfield, Mo. A meeting of the stockholders will be held at IA D. m. at the board of trade for the purpose of electing the board of directors, who have already been decided upon. They are among the most progressive business men of Little Rock and other interested points.
 It is estimated that the pro- posed line will serve 100, 900 more population than it has been dem- onstrated is adequate to make similar lines pay elsewhere, and that the opportunities for devel- opment here are greater than Tn many places where interurban 1 lines have been successful.

FIREMAN KILLED

 Derailed.

Memphis, March 13.Fhile drumming on fast schedule one
 e this side of Levesque,s Ark, O. the Iron Mountain Railrad, fast freight No. 95, from St. Louis, ran into a COW caughtn a cattle gap and was wrecked dcsus- ing the death of Fireman Ed Walsh of Memphis, and seriously injuring Engineer c. c. Cashln of Little Rock, and Brakeman Wydrick of Memphis.
 The wreck occurred at E23O o'clock yesterday morning. The engineer saw the COW in the gap and another COW standing on the track near by. Thinking the COW wcdld run off, he whistled, but later discovered that the COW was caught in the cattle gapl and could not extricate itself. He made an attempt to bring the train to a stop, but was unable to do so.
 The engine struck the cow and was thrown down an embark. ment and seven or eight cars were derailed behind it. Ed Walsh, the fireman, was pinion- ed down and his legs torn from his body, and Engineer Cashin and Brakeman Wydrick, who was in the cab at the time, were thrown from the cab while try ing to leap for their lives, sus- taining severe injuries.
 Fireman Walsh was carried to .Wynne, Ark, a distance of six miles from the scene of the wreck but died there after his arrival. His body was brought to Mem. phis, arriving last night on pass. enger No. 34 at 8 o'clock, and was turned over to John J. Col. lins, undertaken.

the paving of the streets. The refuse shells from the button fac tory which was situated on the outskirts of the town are being used for this purpose and in a short time Newport will be able to boast of the only shell streets in the state"
 He might have added that Newport has two wholesale gro cery houses, which would be a credit to Little Rock, that they are not only handling the trade of this territory, but have sales men on the main line of the Rock Island, who probably make Little Rock headquarters, and that the warm competition of our capi- tai and business men, is doubt less responsible for the little the Little Rock wholesalers know of our resources and country.

7. T. Duvall has lost his farm
and brings suit against w. d.
Gibbons and Dennis Spilman to
retain it. Duvall is a farmer, about
20 years old, and owned a farm Of
$50 acres 6 miles south of Stur-
geon, worth about SO, 900. Glib
bons, who formerly lived in Boone
county, near Duvsll, is now a real
estate agent at Lawton, Oklahoma.
Last March, according to report,
Gibbons came to Boone county and
induced Duvall to go to Oklahoma
to look at lands he had, making
him believe he could made him al
most rich. Duvall went, and Sc
lected, las he supposed, 1,2OO acres
of land aud entered into contract
with aud executed a deed to Glib
bons and put both in the Lawson
bank, to be held until Gibbons
should make proper papers to the
1900 acres. Soon after Duvall re-
turned Gibbons went to the bank
and got the deed aud came tC
Boone county and had it recorded
and sold the land to Dennis Spill
man, ] o b n Spilman, Georg,
Boothe and Manly Bord for SO, 800
It turned out that Gibbons had nj
title to the land he traded to Du
vail it being school land and only
leases can be had on such lands,
All Duvall got is not worth $50
at the best. Duvall, by his attor
ney has brought suit to set asid
both the deeds aud to revert th
title to him,

UNIVERSAL SALVATION.
A Writer Gives His Opinion in The
Vandalia Leader.

In company with my old friend,
Frank Barrow, of Ashley, he COM
ing by for me, we went 10 the Uni
versalist convention iu the little
town of Laddonia, he being a
member Of that church.
We enjoyed the trip very much,
going in a buggy over some of the
finest country in Audrain county.
We took the road by M. r. K.
Biggs, Nat Sutton, and on through
the Marburg neighborhood, seeing
the best corn and the finest blue
grass that can be grown in any
country.
We found the little church filled
with devout believers in the doc
trine of universal salvation, a very
beautiful doctrine; one which they
seemed to be enjoying TO some ex-
tent on that occasion. One of the
female preachers exclaimed that
she was so happy that she couldn't
eat a bite, which struck me as a
strange condition to be in when
there was a table full of the best
eatables that the country affords
right there on the table before her
eyes.
Well they are a good people and
preach more Goiliness than all
the rest but together.
They teach that we will all flu
ally reach the land of bliss, but
they have no time set to accom-.
plish that end Possibly there
may be some after death.
They claim that there is no one
perfect here, nor, can be in this
life, but that we should strive to
come as near it as possible, so as tc
make this life enjoy able.
The doctrine sounds very com
forting to a person that has been
taught to believe that there will be
eternal damnation meted out to all
evil doers that have not made
peace with their God.
l have about come TO the conclu
sion that ones belief in religious
matters depends a great deal on tn,
influences brought to bear upol
him; because it is a fact that tn
majority Of mankind accept TIN
dogmas and beliefs Of their par
ents, with unreasoning faith, wheth
er the parents be Moslems, Budd
lists, Christian, or followers of Con

The First Christian church of

roomy church building, which will
be ready for use within a few
weeks. AS in all good enterprises,
the ladies have been active and
most effective in making
money for the House of the
Lord In summers heat and
winters cold these faithful ladies
have planned and labored for ths
erection aud furnishing of the
church edilice. The Workers
Society, as they style themselves,
has made, made with their own
hands, more than FIVE thousand
dollars for this cause. Last week
they made, clear Of expenses, S277

take and say that when women SET
their heads to do a thing it will
not be done. Don't do il.
