Circus Train Wrecked.

The Carl Hagenbeck circus. which was extensively advertised to exhibit in Brlnkley to-day, cancelled the date on account of a bad wreck interfering with the schedule.
 The wreck occurred about 9 clock Thursday morning on the Rocklsland road about l2 miles east ofs Little Rock, the shcw being en route to Hot Springs.
 The wreck involved the third sec ton of the train Five double length cars were deraiIed and one of the cars was split in two. Thirteen wagons, loaded with equipments seats, cos tunes, trspese, and empty cages were destroyed, also an automobile belonging to one of the managers.
 No lives were lost, but one of the helpers. who was sleeping in one of the wrecked cars, was internally in- jured but will probably recover.
 There is no doubt but that the great crowd in the city to day is the largest disappointed one that ever thronged our streets.

BILL FIX TO THE ARGUS.

BILL FIX TO THE ARGUS.
 For some weeks, the multiplicity cf duties have kept my mind and hand ousier than you, dear friend, may think, but we have not surrendered ou allegiance 10 the clean cut ARGUS. First we will say that we are absorbed and wrapped up in cur new work. We have the best school, or material anc foundation for school, we lave-ever seen in town of this size, and our work is our pleasure. We have 2 ready and co operative board ofdi- rectors to support our every good effort as well as earnest patrons, ard everything looks toward success in OUT work As is well known to all who study the school life, it takes the CO., operation of teacher, patron and di- rectors to have an effective school This seems to be the simple motto of oar people.
 1 Now, times are somewhat blue ot late. and you can see little mil dew On the brow of the commercial
 mans countenance, but we think times are not going to be So "squeez- ing Prices are good, and it vii average up for all that.
 Away up in New York Hearst is showing along the most sensational campaign of the season. He wants to be governor of the Empire state and it looks much that way just now. Hearst is close and true friend to the lower classes and all laboring men, "killer' of trusts and great reform CT, and no doubt he would d. New York great service if he should be elected. Whether elected or not, Hearst will, by his campaign, do much toward improving and purifying New York politics. If Hearst is elected the reason for it will b9 that he is q man that "acts and "does and is mt merely taking machine. He may not be elected. but if he-is not it will be because that he las net joined hands with the party to whom he owes his nomination-Democracy This we think he should have done to that extent that would have besn con sisteat for his reforms and the peo- pIe's good. Hearst is success and man of mighty strength when he "sets out to do. /"
 We nesd more men that will act and fewer that will spend taeir lie in rwind tanning. The reason the world is so slow all 5a>,k yard today is because there is too mucA 'talk and too little thu t9.
