commenced shipping on .Jahuary 1, and by the last of this week will have shipped fifteen carloads. The first carload to arrive in Pine Bluff will come in some day this week, consign- ed to J. F. Hut and Sons.
 The company put out nothing but a pure cider vinegar, and also sells ci- der in huge quantities to wholesalers The pure-food law which goes into ef- feet soon will be a great help to the Arkansas company, as all their pro ducts are now marked for their true value, and it will shut out many of their competitors. They have tank storage capacity of 500,00O gallons, and expect the coming season to put in all the cider and vinegar they can make from the apples of Benton coun- ty. It is a boon to the fruit-growers of that county, as they can dispose of their apples for as high as twenty cents per bushel to the factory. and this includes all the cull apples, which are as good for cider as any other, but cannot be sent to market.

REPORT Is DENIED COMMITTEE FROM BOILER MAX. FRS UNION SAY REPORTED THREAT IS UNFOUNDED. Denial Brought Forth by Story That Trouble Had Arisen Between
 Them and Railway.

A committee from Cotton Belt sub ordinate lodge No GS of the Brother rood of Boiler Makers and Iron Ship builders of America has entered an emphatic denial of the story printed in Sundays Graphic to the effect that a strike of the local boiler makers at the Cotton Belt shops had been threatened recently because the rail. WAY company had held back the pay of the men.
 The following statement, signed, and containing the official seal of Cotton Belt lodge No. GS, was issued relative to the publication Sunday Light:
 To the Editor of the Graphic: Your article published in the Graphic of the 11th grossly misrepresented the relations existing between the boiler makers and the officials of the Cotton Belt railway company: and We wish to deny it in full The relations that have existed in the past will continue as long as We have the gentlemanly ofhclals whom we are proud to acknowledge are at the helm. We cannot account for any such reports.

First Christian.

As previously announced, Rev c. c. Cline, vice president of Maddox sem. irary at Little Rock was the speaker at the First Christian church Sunday morning and evening. This congrega. ticn is negotiating with Rev. Harkins of Indiana with a view of engaging him as the regular pastor here, and 1t was thought for time that he would be able to make it here in time to oc- cupy the pulpit last Sunday but in this he failed and Rev. Cline of Lit. tie Rock kindly took his place.
 MT. Cline has statewide reputa- tion, and is one of the strongest pull pit men who ever occupied the local pulpit. His morning subject was "The Believers Responsibility,' splendid and masterly effort.
 The subject of the evening dis course was. tLiving Issues Which Jesus Settles" Both services drew good audiences, and good music was a feature.

SCENE OF ACTIVITY iE FOURTH AVENUE WHICH Is BUSIEST PLACE IN CITY
 JUST NOW. Poles Have Been Distributed and Work of Removal Begins soon--
 Grading of Old Track

Whatever may have been the legal ity of Mayor H. King Whites action in cutting down the poles of the Pine Bluff Light and Water company and the Citizens Light and Transit con- pany on Saturday night. March 2, it certainly Was the beginning of active work on Fourth avenue. Even now the change that has como oyer the street since last Monday morning is plainly apparent, and the street is MO longer a detrinent to the city, but is an advertisement of progress.
 Poles have been distributed all along Fourth avenue on the north side of the street. and work of remov- q will begin as soon as the gang have llaced them in the ground The hMes are dug. and it will be a matter of but few days before the wires are transferred The work of grading the track which has been laid by the Iron Mountain road will then begin at Gnce, and will be finished fer about three blocks east of Main street, and Monday morning Workmen were work ing at the Main street crossing. where the track must be raised lit- tie, while the rest of it is cut down.

COLD WAVE
thermometer Takes Another Bid
 Tumble Sunday Night.

The weather man conjrred up an- other cold wave Sunday night, and this time it ma erialized sure enough The weather reports issued Sunday morning gave warning of the drop in the temperature for the night, and Monday morning Pine Bluff found herself in the midst of wintry cold weather again, the mercury having gone down to nearly twenty degrees during the previous night.
 Monday overcoats were quite con- fortable-almost a necessity with some people.
 While the change in atmospheric conditions has been sudden and great. it is not believed that any appreciable damage has been done in any way by the cold so far. The fruit crop is still believed to be safe. although many of the tender trees have reach ed the most critical stage of develop ment for the season.
 The hope is felt that the present cold snap will be of short duration, which is made most likely by the fact that the season is well advanced now. and the country is not likely to expo rience much more real winter wsath- CT.

Roy. w. C. Wat son, the regular pas tor, delivered two very able discMrs es at Lakeside Methodist church Sun- day 10 excellent congregations.
 MT Watson is one of the best draw ing cards of the city, if such a pro. fane term may be applied to things religious. His ability in the pulpit is teo we'll known to merit even passing comment, and on last Sunday he fully maintained his reputation. Good mu. sic was had at both services.

AT THE CHURCHES
An Ideal Bay Lent Charm to Occasion, and Large Attendance Reported at All Places of Divine Worship. Able and Interesting Discourses by City Pastors.

Sunday Was another ideal day for the ehurch-Seef. and multiplied hun. dre'ls of them in Pine Bluff took ad. vantage of the beautiful spring day. marred only silently by the high wind, to attend seryecs From carlv morn to late i'll tho evening tho gay apparel of the little ones mingled with the more sombrc ones of their elders in forming the constant stream oi humanity pouring out into the streets on their way tO and from their respective churches. And il is such days as these that even the non churcb-cOcr feels the impulse to fOl- low the popular lead and listen once more to the hymns, the prayers and We almost said sermons-of child hood. But sermons can no longer be strictly classed in the list, for one could scarcely be induced nowadays to attend divine service with the promise of hearing anything like the old-time discourses of our foreboars. Then the hearers were compelled to occupy the split-log benches of the old log church for an hour and a half to two hours. listening patiently and devoultly through it all until the min ister come to the ssthirty-seondly" and the "in conclusion, my beloved" Now one is hardly seated comfortably ;n his handsome and costly pew in the fine brick church edifice, until, with song and a bendiction. he is dis missed by tke up-to-date pastor Then one expected the torments of hell and perdtion to be shaken over his Of lending head with all the dramatic skill of an adept in malediction. Now. as one of the pastors of this city said iE her sermon Sunday, we hear doctor of divinity discourse eloquent1y for fifteen minutes on some current topic of the day, and for religious of feet he sometimes prefaees his re- marks with a passage from the Bible. Well, such are the times in which we live, and the American people usually get just what they want.

First Baptist.

"The Problem of the Backslider" was the subject of most interesting discourse Sunday morning by Rev. Ross Moore at the First Baptist church. He handled the subject in his usual masterly and resourceful manner
 At night, MT. Moore took for his subject, Good News From Christ" and the speaker literally brought both good news and good cheer to his hearers, who were many.
 This church spent one of the most profitable days in it's history, if the value of the two able discourses de. livered may be taken as basis for the assertion.

All of the stockholders and officers are among the leading business men of Pine Bluff, and the company will no doubt be successful.
 MT. Cans established the business here in 1880, and has been successful from the start, building up a large and profitable business, and making the firm well.known all over southeast Arkansas. Advancing years have caused him to seek rest from business cares, and he has shifted the heavier burden to younger shoulders. but will continue to be actively interested.

Opening Bids For Coolies,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 90
The time for submitting offers for the
furnishing of Chinese 1aborars or Cool
les for the work on the Panama Canal
expired at ten o'clock this morning
and the bids received up to that time
were opened by the members of the
Panama Canal Commission. The basis
for bidding is for twenty-five hundred
coolies, but it is probable that addi-
tional bids will be received, should the
experiment prove successful. Every
bidder was required to deposit d GER
titled check for $4,000. The bond of
the successful bidder will be raised to
100000, which will be forfeited if he
should fail to enter into a contract in
accordance with his bid. The contract
will remain in force for two years.
The Chinese laborers will be required
to work ten hours day and overtime
will be paid for all work in excess Of
that time or all work done on Sun
days or legal holidays.

WILD RIDE ON A WIRE
FUN FOR APPLETON BOYS

APPLETON, Wis.,, Sept. 2O-Shoot-
ing 5000 feet across a great ravine
on a wire is the sport of the youths
of Appleton since one bright boy
thought of stretching a wire across and
fastening it at the other side on mon
strous trees.
When this was done a carriage to
hold two occupants was constructed
and one side Of the ravine being lower
than the other, the necessary incline
for the acceleration of speed was OBJ
tanned. In this manner they plunge
across the ravine like a shot and in
climbing up from the sag of the middle
Of the wire the pace is slackened ST.
that they land slowly on the opposite
side
Elders have become interested in the
hair-raising sport and the youths now
have a monopoly and charge 5 cents
to all the men who want to try the
feat and there are many who do, say
ing it beats in sensation the scenic
railways and "shoot the chutes."
