Exhibition by Fire Boys.

One of the amusement features during the celebration which de serves special mention was the ex- hibition given Thursday night by the hose companies of the Mena Fire Department. This exhibition by the fire boys was test run to a fire, a water fight between the boys and a general. exhibition of the handling the hose and nozzle and throwing water. There were seven men on each side, the run with hose cart No. l being made from the fire plug on the corner of Port Arthur avenue and Seventh street, and No. 2 from the corner of Port Arthur avenue and Ninth street, the fire being built on the north side of the park midway between the two points where an immense pile of boxes had been formed and soaked with oil. At signal given by Fire Chief Donaldson the race between the two sides began, the boys pulling cart No. 2 being the first to arrive on the scene and play a stream of water on the fire.
 The most amusing scene was the water fight between the boys, every body enjoying the good wetting which they received.
 Drawing to a Close.
 With today the Fair and Celebra- ton will close. The judges of the different departments have been kept quite busy awarding the pre- miums and many of the exhibits have already been removed from the pavilion. While no special amuse- ment features were given today the crowd in the city is still quite large and the indications are that the mer- ry-making will be kept up till late hour tonight.
 Taken all in all Mena's Tenth Am celebration proved to be a grand success.

HEAVY LOSSES
IN WALL Street
Liquidation General and No Ex-
PLANTATION Offered by Super
fetal Conditions.
PRESSURE ON HILL STOCKS
IMPROVEMENT I'M THE MONEY
MARKET.

New York, Dec. 29.-There was a re-
sumption of liquidation in the stock mar
ket today, which has disquieting effect
on speculative sentiment, the more so as
superficial conditions offered no explana-
ton. Its course also was somewhat mys-
terious. The disturbing influence of the
heavy decline of a number of important
stocks was seen in the temperance of
rumors about the stock exchange of fl
nancial difficulties. The pressure CEN
tered on the Hill stocks, st Paul and
Reading, but showed a growing tendency
TO spread to other portions Of the list.
The severe declines already made IN these
stocks carry as a necessary consequences
heavy speculative losses in some quar-
terS, and il was this unavoidable INFER
ence that gave force to the current ap-
prehensiOnS.
The disappointing effect on the prices
of the stocks of the new issues of Great
Northern preferred, Northern Pacific and
St. Paul is of far-reaching consequence to
the speculative situation. The action of
Reading also was evidence of difficult
market position on the part of the large
holdings of the stock on margin. No
loans are made on the stock exchange
on Saturday, so that the money situation
is of a sympathetic influence.

money market show distinct improve

MAKES HURRIED DEPARTURE
Provo Restaurateur, After Visit to
Salt Lake, Leaves Suddenly
for the West.

r. Provo. Dec. &--Considerable surprise
was caused here this morning when it be-
came known that W. z. Whitecraft. pro-
prietor of the White Front cafe. had left
with his wife and child last night about
l. O'Clock over the San Pedro railroad for
Los Angeles. Mr.. Whi1eorafs returned
from Salt Lake last night and went inn
mediately to the restaurant and arranged
to leave on the first train. He authorized
Robert ConQver, the night cook, to con-
duct the business, but II he told Mr..
Conover the reason for his sudden depar
ture. the latter will not tell.
Mr.. Whitecraft came here in October
with a wild west show. in which he was
part owner and sold out to his partner.
He soon after leased the Hyde cafe and
renamed Ii the White Front. He has been
doing good business and his business
relations here are satisfactory. He d.
rected that the accounts due for meat and
groceries, and other accounts. should be
paid by Mr.. Conover out of the business.
The creditors got together this morning
and have arranged with Roy Elliott the
day cook. to manage the business till the
accounts are paid. There is a great deal
of speculation as to why Mr.. Whitecraft
should leave as he did. as IT certainly
was not for financial reasons connected
with the restaurant business. Both Mr..
and Mrs. Whtecraft have gained the re-
spect of the people with whom they have
