The city engineer stated that he had gotten up plans for such an arch, sixty feet wide, extending from property line to property line on e ther side of the street which in- c!uded sidewalks, and that it would cost in the neighborhcod of $1,50o. The motion to construct the culvert carried unanimously. This ravine is now spanned by wooden structure, which has been quite unsatisfactory to citizens in that portion of town.

SANK IN A BOG
. Exciting and Dangerous Experience
 of MT. SchIossberg.

Begged in the quicksands up to his thighs, Max Sehlcssberg was rescued just in the ok of time by some ne erces who happened to hear his cries for assistance.
 Such was MT. Schlossberg's experi- cree in the quicksand bog just north of town last Sunday. He had gone out for spin on his wheel, and be ing unacccustomed to the cocuntry somewhat, did not know of the quick sands nor their dangerous qual.t ties. Arriving at the rayine leading to the dangerous grounds below, he got off his wheel and started to cross the sands afoo'. He had taken but few steps until enc foot begged in the treacherous sands. Thinking little of this, he put the other foot down in order to release the one begged. This One, too. sank into the sand and the harder he endeavored 10 extricate himself the deeper he sank His ef- ferts only increased his dilema, and be finally saw to his herror that the sands were about to take him under completely. He cried for assistance and some negroes who happened to be near the spot at the time heard the cries and came to his help. Throw ing rope out to him, they managed to drag h m out of the sands without more damage than a good scare.
 Schlossberg is a tailor employed by the big clothing establishment of Kas- ter and Bluthenthal, on Main street.

Thirty or More of Them Meet in Pine Bluff 0 Discuss fie Labor Problem in Ess Re. lafion to the Cotton Plantation.

Some thirty old prominent pIns. efs of this and aljoinns counties mt at ehe= courthouse Tuesday afternoon ia response to James Gould.s recent call for a conference of planters 10 discuss the labor problem of this sec tien of the ceuntfF.
 The meeting was called to order at :@0 hy Sheriff Gould himself. who is suod the call; and he was unanimous ly elected permanent chairman while r. II. Walker was selected as per manent secretary.
 After stating the object eff the meet ing, Sheriff Gould called upon those present for expressions concerning the problem which confronted them and nearly all of the attendants at the conference gave the r views con corning the labor question: No one need have sought elsewhere for cyl dences of a real labor problem, for every single member of the confer enee joined his voice in plaint against existing conditions and expressed q determination to find way out of the difficulty if it is to be found at all.
 John M. Oracle talked at length up- on the conditions as they now exist conditions too well known 10 need re- iteration here-and declared that the only thing left for the farmers to dc was to organize and work together in an effort to induce to this country q class of farm laborers who were reli- able
 "The negro labor is all right if we conld get it: but we cant get it,' seemed to be the universal sentiment prevalent at the conference
 Mr. Oracle stated that the four Ital I ian families he had brought to his plantation had given complete satis faction so far.
 "They have paid for themselves from the day they went to work" he declared But in the next breath ad 1nitted that they were even yet an experiment, after all. He did not know just what was best to be done. hut this meeting had been called for the purpose of finding out what was best, and he thought it should be made a permanent organization

The Russell Platform Condemned.

The matter of the Russell Rrt,ta sr.' G'o,cry company's platfo ii, recently constructed at their warehouse, was called up for discussion by membc; of the council, and when asked about the matter the c.ty engineer state'. that the concrete platform construct ed by this concern ranged in height f, cm .19 to 3.36 feet above the estab- lished grade of the street. whereas the city had given the company per mission to construct it two feet and five inches above grade, thus the plat form. he said, was considerably above the grade allowed them by the cty i'll places.
 Alderman Jordan moved to order the company to change their platform to conform with the grade allowed them by the city and furnished them by the city engineer. He said the city kindly gave this concern permiss on to construct sidewalk considerably above the established grade of the street, and he could not see why they should want take advantage of the city's generos ty and construct one so much higher than the city had agreed to.
 Alderman Nichol opposed any mo In coi1 a comapny had gone to considerable eX pense in building a concrete platform and if the city now ordered changes they would have te tear the whole platform up The city. he said, haf permitted the Russell company to ec on with it's work of constructing the platform, without molestation. and ! was too late to take action in the mat

When foods are to be cooked by the
aid of boiling water, yet not in direct
contact with the liquids, we call the
process steaming. A steamer has two
sections: the lower pan or kettle holds
the water, while the bottom of the
upper portion is perforated, the steam
passing through these perforations and
cooking the food. Some patented
steamers have one large outer case, the
Interior being suitably divided to ac-
commodate several kinds Of food at
once
The advantages gained by steamins
are: Tough meats are made tender
without losing their substance or be-
coming dry; watery vegetables, so
cooked. are less apt TO be soggy; -four
mixtures become light and are of a
different favor than when baked or
fried: porridges ana gruels can be
cooked for any length of time without
danger of burning.
The one necessity in steaming is to
keep the water in the lower portion of
the steamer at a rapid and continuous
boil. This is especially necessary when
cooking puddings or other batters or
doughs. and IL neglected the result is
soggy dish which is unfit for consump-
ton. New York Globe.

War on Dust.

For some time past extensive ex-
periments have been conducted in
Europe, and more especially in
France, in an endeavor to ascertain
the most practical and economical
method of preventing dust being
raised from streets and roadways.
Three processes have been given ex-
haustive trials-oiling, watering with
deliquescant salts, and tarring. The
most successful of the experiments
were those made with coal-tar, the
cost of this application, in France,
amounting to about 2.5 cents per
square yard, but this cost is reduced
to a much smaller figure when 1t is
considered that the application saves
wear upon the roadbed amounting 20
at least 2 cents per square yard per
annum. Chloride of calcium worked
fairly well, except for the opthalmic
effect upon the eyes OF those using
the roads.
The use of tar or oil upon the roads
of the United States, except in n very
few localities, would not be possible,
most of the highways being soft
dirt" roads. To be Of any practical
benefit the road to which the oil
of tar is applied must be well built,
smooth, and hard. A macadami2ed
road with the tar coating gives ex-
cellent results.-Harper's Weekly.
