While drilling a well on the Theodore F. Evans farm at Fayettville, Thursday the work men heard a rumbling noise in the ground and one of them leaned over the we'll. He had not leaned far before his hat was blown high in the air. A match ignited the gas and blaze shot in the air. The neighbor- hood is much excited over the oc- curence and it is an opinion long entertained by the geologists that large bodies of gas and oil exist, in this region.
 Read the advertisements of the business houses of Green Forest in this issue. No town of it's size in the state has more up.to- date and enterprising business firms than does Green Forest and we do not believe town can be found in the state where goods are sold on closer margin than here. We have no grafters and ifany one in our business com- munity should show such dis position the competition here would afford him a poor fold for his operations. Come to Green Forest and you will get a square deal in every business house in1 our town. |

A PACKED THEATER
Stock Company Closes Successful Sea-
son and Mr.. and Mrs. Ferris Will Go
to Los Angeles.

Dick Ferris last night closed one of
the most successful stock seasons ever
played in Minneapolis. "Cami!le" was
the bill at the Metropolitan and, with
house packed to the foyer and an ex-
cellent. performance of the farewell of
the Ferris Stock company was an event
of more than ordinary interest The
fact that Mr.. Ferris will open stock
house in Los Angeles, CAL, had become
known and the many friends Of the
actor manager, of Florence Stone and
OF the other members of the company
gave free expression to their regret
that the, players would not be seen in
Minneapolis for some months. "
A beautiful silver service was pre-.
scented to Mr.: Ferris by The stage en-
ployees of the Metropolitan theater,
the presentation ceremony consisting Of
a speech by Jermane Quinn and a
heartfelt reply by Mr.. Ferris.
Manager Ferris has closed contract
with the owners Of the Auditorium the
alter, now in the course of construction
at Los Angeles. The house, building on
the most up-to date lines, will seat 1900
persons. It will be the. finest theater
west Of Chicago. Mr.. Ferris contract
is for an indefinite period, to be ,.eter.
mined by his pleasure, and he will put
in stock company. The house will
be completed late this foil, but will
not be opened by the Ferris Stock com.
pany until Christmas day. &,
Mr.. and Mrs. Ferris will 90 to New
York shortly after the close Of their
Minneapolis engagements, and while il
the metropolis will make arrangements
for plays and will engage players
Fred G. Andrews, who has successfully
handled the financial end of the Ferris
engagement here, will 90 to Los An

FLORAL AUTO PARADE
TO BE LIKE CARNIVAL
Minneapolis May outstrip the Flower
Decked Cities of Southern California
Fair Week.

Floral automobiles parades have been
common thing in fower-spread south
ern California, but it, has remained for
Minneapolis to introduce this carnival
feature into the northwest. Repeated
displays in Pasadena, Los Angeles and
other California cities have proved that
the automobile is a vehicle which is
we'll adapted to floral decoration. Many
Minneapolis people have participated in
these events and they will give the
benefit of their experience to those who
are arranging the coming display Of
the Minneapolis Automobile club.
The date chosen by the club is Sept.
g. Golden rod, wild sunfower and q
host Of other gorgeous field flowers will
be- in full bloom. With these wild
flowers and bright colored leaves to be
had in unlimited quantities for the
picking, and with the cultivated blooms
of the gardens at their greatest luxuri-
ance, it should be- possible to turn out
cars which will rival everything ever
seen in the sunny southwest. :. r.. -
It is proposed to make this parade

along the line Of march for those who
do not care to view the procession from
the curb. Every car will be well pro-
;vided with flower missiles, ready to d
battle with the other cars on the street
or with the pedestrians. ~
Many retail merchants are taking a
keen interest in this parade and have
offered prizes which insure that every
car entered will be decorated to the

In cash prizes, $500 will be distributed.
In addition to this there are merchan-

At the moment our statesmen are
doing their utmost to further friend

nations, the historic city Of Valparaiso
lies overwhelmed by a visitation Of
ruin greater In actual proportions than
that which befell San Francisco, and
considering the winter season now pre-
vailing in that latitude and comparing
the resources Of the two cities and
countries, the recent disaster even
transcends the earlier one.
The peculiar appropriateness, from

standpoint, Of a, liberal contribution

in view of my limited means, my un.
official status as private citizen and
meager first reports, I awaited further
news and the leadership Of those higher

patches leave no doubt Of the need, and
the president has appealed for dona-

Chicago, Aug. 25.-In a three-hour
session the Progressive Alliance. party
today poured its blistering scorn on
the proposition Of the Hearst element
that it identify itself with the hide
pendent league. -. T.:
Hearst himself was styled a g bolter'
and "impassive Individual, y a .'self-

and his managers were given various
other titles, among other, "pirate cap
tains," "traitors," and "political
blacklegs." 49,.
The proposition that drew the fire Of
the alliance was made at the meeting
of the Hearst people last Wednesday
when resolution was adopted invit-
ing the alliance to divorce itself from
its name and to march under the ban
ners of the Independence league. In
brief, the proposal was that if the ALI
ance would adopt the name of the
league, the league in turn would be god

tionably the black man IS state as there
are 100000 colored people in that state.
Of this vast army of freedmen nearly
one-half are without educational adj
| With the lack Of education there is,
of course, the natural consequences
such as the absence of thrift: ambition;
industry and intelligence. The colored
people in this section actually live from
hand to mouth from day to- day, giving
no heed for the morrow and being in
different to their own fate and their
future.
Criticism is not directed at the cities
and villages Of the state, which, &C.
cording to Mr.. Hunter, are making rea-
sonable provision for public education.
It is in the rural regions that the con-

After Plantation Negro.
In OF her words, it Is the plantation
negro that Mr.. H unter Is endeavoring
to reach. In spite Of their ignorance
and general shiftlessness he is salts
fed that the possibilities of improving
their condition by education and train
ing are most promising. It is an &C
tual fact that many Of the plantation
negroes are in a worse condition than
in the slavery days This is questioned
in the north, but Mr.. Hunter makes
the statement most positively.
After the wal. they were without
means of any kind, without occupa-
ton, without education and the neces-
sary intelligence to look out for them
selves. Deprived of that discipline,
guidance and support on which they
had been dependent for $50 years, the
negro race in. the south was in a bad
way when the war closed. 1'
Fall Lower and Lower. -
Without ambition or spur to work
they fell into idle ways. Easily con-

victims to the vices of idleness.- At the
same time, their case Is far from being
hopeless. It is Mr.. Hunters idea, as
we'll as that Of many other leaders and
educators. among the colored people,
that the negro has. many valuable
the race, but at present wholly unde-
veloped for various evident reasons. .
It is to develop what might be called

that the, Noxubee industrial school was
started. It has not yet risen to the
dignity of an institute of a college,; it
Is plain school and rather modest

before his death he gave the mirror
to Mrs. Gordon. who lives n 10th street
between NJ and n streets. From her
the psychological societies have been
trying to purchase the glass, Offering
large sums for it.
A person who wishes to consult the

There are many persons who declare
they have seen visions in the mirror
prophecies which have come true. The
late Judge Caswell of California. while
visiting in the home Of DIR. Taylor
looked in the mirror and saw the face
of near relative then living in Pitts.
