SENATOR BERRY OPTIMISTIC.
License Fight on in lawrence County. Alicia and Minturn Opposing Saloons.

Walnut Ridge, Jan. 4.-Sena- tor Berry passed through Walnut Ridge yesterday on his way to Corning from Hardy, where he addressed a large and apprecla- tive audience on Monday. In speaking of the situation he held quite optimistic views as to the final outcome between him and Governor Davis. He said that there had been quite a revolu- tion in political circles in Sharp county recently.
 The Hon. J. F. Gautney, of Jonesporo, candidate for attor- ney general of the state, made an announcement of his race after Senator Berry had finished speaking.
 As a result of a movement set in motion by the members ot the w. c. T. U. a contest IS now on in the county court at Powhatan to determine whether license shall or shall not be granted the saloons in this county for an- other year. About a month ago a petition was started by the members of the w. c. T. U. working from the Methodist church here as basis to secure the names of a majority of the adults as required by statute to petition Judge L. B. Poindexter not to grant license to any sa- loon within radius of three miles from the church. About eleven hundred names were sub- scribed to the petition. The sa- loon people were not idle all the while; they went to work and had a census taken of all adults within the radius and found the number to be one thousand six hundred. They hope to chal- lenge enough names of the antis to bring their number to a maj jor- ity.
 Minturn and Alicia are both in the fight, and thus far it is learned that the saloon people there were successful, and will have two saloons this year. The Alicia case was continued until next Tuesday, and the Walnut Ridge and Hoxie fight is on to- day. It is thought, however, that Alicia, Walnut Ridge and Hoxie will lose their saloons.
 Hon. s. R. Simpson, of Para gould, is prosecuting the fight for the w. C. T. U. H. L. Pon- der is representing the saloon advocates within a radius ot three miles of Alicia and w. P. Smith, Minturn.

ill newspaper article anent that play q statement that the motive and basic idea of the play were obtained by him from an actual event that Tansplred under his own notice; whereupon he declared that the statement told but half the truth ill that instead of being suggested by a mere incident only, the comedy grew out of a series of happenings that actually occurred in the domestic life of a family with which he cherished close intimacy. It is said that, by one who is familiar with the play, this avowal can be readily understood and appreciated as accounting largely for. its natural- ness, it's very human characters. the logical sequence of it's events and it's general realism, but at the same time due credit must be attributed to, the author for his ready discernment of the dramatic possibilities.

HOW TIGERS KILL THEIR PREY.
Always Make Attack Upon the Flank
 of an Animal.

of an Animal.
 I have taken considerable trouble th find out how tigers kill large game, writes an assistant controller of for ests at Perah to the London Field. Some time ago was asked to come and see a full grown bullock that had been killed by tiger. On examining it l found the animal had it's neck broker and there were claw marks on the nose and shoulder, but nowhere else. There was no doubt that the tiger had jumped at the bull and landed on the shoulder and when the bull turned his head to gore the tiger he must have put his claw out and with sudden jerk broken the neck.
 On another occasion I went to see young buffalo which had been killed by a tiger and found the same thing had happened. There were similar marks on the nose and also on the near shoulder, which clearly indicated that this animal had been killed in the same way. Malays who have actually seen tiger killing a buffalo told me they saw the same thing happen, also that in dragging off a heavy carcass such as buffalo or bull he gets most of the weight across his shoulder.
 This must be fairly correct, as have often followed kill, and the marks left indicated that only portion of the animal was trailing along the ground. I have known full grown bull which ten men could not move dragged for two miles by a tiger ill a heavy jungle, where roots of trees and swamp had to be gone through. In no case have I seen the pug marks facing the wrong way except when stopping to feed. which proves he must carry portion of the animal over his shoul- der. The old idea of a tiger killing large, game by a blow from his paw is non sense: besides, in this country tiger never faces his prey, but attacks him on the flank, unless charged. Another curious fact that may seem very like a fairy tale is that tiger does net seem to mind a small lamp being tied over a kill about ten feet high, but will come and feed. l have known three occasions when this mas been tried, and each time tiger has come to feed upon the carcass.

French Minister Talks War In Cham.
 ber of Deputies.
 WASHINGTON, March 3.-Accord- ing to advices received here, 'Russia's representations at Berlin with the view of bringing about an arrangement be- tween Germany and France have not been effective.
 It is believed that President Rooss- welt Is acting in the matter through the German ambassador, Baron Speck von Sternburg, and the impression pre- vails that the president might in final emergency be asked to arbltrate.
 Dispatches from Paris say that War Minister Etienne in the chamber of deputies, following the published an nouncement that the German army was ready to dash into France and aroused over criticism by certain dep uties of the French army and the for tifcations of the country, made this declaration:
 Our strongholds are in good condi- ton. The rumors of defective supplies are unfounded. All the necessary measures have been taken. The decree establishing the council of national de- fense Is now in the hands of the pre- mier, and the supreme commander has already been chosen. He Is an officer of incontestable ability and possesses the full confidence of the army"
 Dispatches from Paris say that the Journal has published the result of an investigation made by it's correspond ents along the German frontiers.
 The paper says the Germans do not desire war, but the German army is ready. and its superior mobilization plans would enable 1t to make rapid invasion of French territory.
 The Journal counsels the abandon ment of French reliance on fortinca- tions and the adoption of the German plan of rapid invasion of the enemy's territory.

David Higgins will be seen in the leading role sup ported by Eleanor Montell and strong and capable east of players. The story of the play is modern, in that it deals with the experience of rich Kentuckian who seeks to become richer by means of stock speculation, and is interesting, in that it tells stirring love story and brings into the incidents of the play the interest that usually surrounds the winning of a great horse race. The heroine of the drama is young Kentucky girl, who has brought her horse east to compete in the great Futurity, the winning of which means the contln- ued prosperity of her family and prac- tically the saving of the life of her old father.

CYCLONE AND FIRE
Storm at Meridian Demolishes
 Whole Streets.
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DEAD.
Hurricane Struck City Near Mobile and Ohio Crossing and Swept Path Through the Entire
 Center of It.

MERIDIAN, Miss, March 3.-A cy- clone, accompanied by heavy rain, struck this city last night. the storm center being In the southern portion of the city, and was particularly heavy along Front street. one of the principal business streets of the town.
 Nearly every house on Front street is reported to have been demolished. The Armour packing plant is the only building left standing, and the roof of that is gone.
 Fire broke out in the ruins. and de- spite the heavy rain the flames were burning fiercely when this report was filed. A number of bodies are reported to be in the ruins, and the rescuers are working by candle light. The city Is in total darkness, the electric lighting plant having been put o1t of business.
 The cyclone did severe damage at other points adjacent to Meridian, and all trains entering Meridian are delay ed indefinitely. The Western Union Telegraph company has fifteen miles of poles and wires down, and the Postal Telegraph company also suffered great damage. H.
 The tornado passed over In about two minutes, and during that period three or four whole squares were devastated. A conservative estimate places the number of buildings blown down at between thirty and forty.
 It took the lives of twenty-one white persons and more than 130 negroes.
 Among those known to be dead are Mrs. Ella Singleton and granddaugh- ter, Mackey Slaughter, Claude VII Hams, F. T. McInnis, conductor on the Mobile and Ohio. and William R. Nel- son, formerly city marshal.
 At least twenty bodies were burned in the fire, which broke out almost i'm mediately.
 The storm struck the city near the Mobile and Ohio crossing and swept path through the whole center of 1t
 The loss of life in Meridian was very heavy.
 Fire spread over large part of the deyastated district. The work of the rescuers is going bravely on. l-it ow- ing to all lights being out lanterns asd candles are being used. and the work ts necessarily slow. It is thought that I5O bodies are in the wreckage. The Union depot is ore of the buildings blown away.
