Meridi5n, Miss, Marc'l 21.-Wi h the single exception of Outfelder Condiff the Meridian representatives in the Cotton States league are new directly under the charge of Manager Sample, and but fer weotSer coHeli- tions. would have aprea "ed today lined up for stiff field practice. Con- diff has been excused from reporting at this early date because Of the ST Sample is therefore not worrying over his cause of absence.
 Two strings have been attached to aspirants for twirlrg holCrs in tho Southern 9ue-men who, it is be lieved, will hardly prove fast enough for that organization, yet who would materially improve the chance Merid- ian has of proving winner in this league Their names have rot been announced by Manager Sample, but he is confident that this news will le ready for definite presentation to the local fans within a short time.
 Hope has not been abandoned of securing the New York Americans for game about March 29. The action of the league in extending the season to Labor Day, and of increasing the saalry limit to $1,200, meets with gen. eral approval locally. The decision to cancel the order for the Goldsmith ball was enthusiastically received, and were the league to adopt the Reach ball the order would be general ly approved.

MAY INTERRUPT
 RIVER TRAFFIC
Channel Changes al Rob Roy. Boats Gan. not Pass # River Falls Lower. Govern ment Engineers inspect Situation and Dykes May Be Constructed.

River traffic is threatened with se- r'ous interruption by the changing of the river channel at the Rob Roy bridge of the Cotton Belt railway, and unless immediate steps are taken to prevent river vagaries at this point it is likely to entail heavy ex- pense to both river men and the Cotton Belt company, and cause incon- xenience to large class of business interests both in Pint Bluff and Little Rock
 Reliable reports say that if the riy= CT falls a foot or two lower, river transportation will be completely shut eff this side of the Rob Roy bridge as the channel has already shifted from under the draw span of the bridge to the south. where it is suffi- ciently deep for all boats, but where there is no draw span to permit them to pass under the bridge
 The vagaries of the Arkansas river at the Rob Roy bridge have been giv- ing trouble to river men ard the Cotton Belt company for some time past, and this is not the first time these troubles have been given pub

 Several days ago. government engi- neers and others interested in the matter Went to the scene of the trou- Lie, and conducted a minute inspec tion. It is understood that govern ment aid has been asked in relieving the situation, and it is presumed that dykes will be put in above the bridge, which. it is believed, will afford a remedy. It would cost the Cotton Belt company in the neishborhood of $50 GOO to construct another draw span over the new channel of the riv- CT, and the company would have even then no assurance of the permanency of the new channel

CHINATOWN GONE FOREVER.

(From Louise Herrick Wallis Heroic
San Francisco" in August Century,
No quarter of the whole town is more
strangely altered than what was once
the congested picturesqueness of China
town. Where the wooden buildings
have melted into ash a stout property
line of heavy wire reinforced by an
armed guard, has been stretched across
TO prevent any further looting of the
heather by the Christian hOrdes. To
one who has loved this Chinese quarter,
which exercised upon some minds a
fascination undimmed by familiarity,
the destruction Of Chinatown is the
most poignant loss of the San Francisco
fire. The faults OF dirty, smelly. de-
lightful old Chinatown will prevent its
ever being what it has been. AS
sat on a little embankment, where a
bazaar had stood, amid the hot ashes
of Chinatown, tingling in the throat
from the acrid smoke that curled up
from the burrowing little fires about
me, / could think of no more joyful
consolation than that Robert Louis
Stevenson had not lived to feel the
pang of this desolation. Just below me
the shaken house where he had lived
and the little golden galleon of his
monument outlived the ruin of the
quarter that he had loved.

was roaming around that vicinity dis
turbing the peace, threatening people
and trying to burn his clothes off his
body. Deputy Sheriffs Larsen and
Sleater went to the scene and found the
man in the act of setting fire to his
coat and vest. He had already tried to
light his trousers. They grabbed him
and, after a short struggle, took him to
the county Jail.
When he arrived at the Jail and had
