Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

The Minstrel Maids" the musical melange is supplying the features at the Jacques this week and is captur- ing a good bit of the floating ap- plause. Black face beauty effects the audiences as though it had never been seen before, and this particular act follows the rule. The nine maids are under the management and sup ervision of T. B. McMahon. After the grand overture the combination gy- rates in a series of fancy steps and then capers to its seats at the words of the interlocutor. The end maids go to their work in true minstrel style and can crack joke as well as cut a chickens wing. Part two consisted of a scenic effect, based on the colors of the watermelon while the girls sang melodious song with a refrain "Oh, Melon Fine Babe.' Devlin & Ellwood have real novelty in "The Girl From Yonkers," in which a real lady burglar from the country gets the better of a slick city chap. Brown, Harris & Brown, The Chadwick Trio in For Sale, Wiggins' Farm" and
 several other acts, make up a uni formly excellent bill. Popular prices

Oil Fields of Fort Smith.

Fort Smiths oil boom continues to grow. A number of outside oil oper- ators are becoming interested The investigation of the field has devel- oped the fact that this section of the State is not only well supplied with coal and gas but that it has beds of shale and fine grade potter's clay, the equal of which is not found in any part of the United States. It has developed that in some parts of the Massard Prairie where the gas is found in largest quantities, holes have been drilled through beds of this clay 700 feet in thickness. The drill has shown that this shale is of excellent quality, buff, blue and black, soft, medium and hard. It is without break and is suitable to manufacture brick of every conceivable variety. It is rich in aluminium and easy of access and will make high grade tiling. In addition to these deposits, the drill has passed through cement, shale, and coal, and beneath these three valuable miner als, gas has been found in such quan- ties as to lead oil and gas men to say that this field when more fully developed will be the largest gas field in the United States.

Boys Touch Off Gas We'll.

With roar that could be heard for miles, and which shattered the great derrick, a gas well, the property of Harry Kelly of the Mansfield Gas Company, on Massard Prairie, five and one-half miles southeast of Fort Smith exploded recently. Immediate ly the well caught fire, and blaze varying from 30 to 100 feet in height lights the country around by night. A party of boys at play touched off a leaking gas pipe and started the first great fire in this gas field. The burning well is the second largest in the field and has capacity of B. 100000 to 4,O0O,O00 feet of gas per day No steps have as yet been taken to stop the blaze, but it is probably that measures will be tried early next week The fire is spec tacular in the extreme, and people from far and near are driving to the vicinity of the blaze, which may be plainly seen for ten miles over the level reaches.

Physical Shock Restores Reason.

Ten days ago four Dubois brothers, Fred, Charles, Albert and Louis, left Gravette bound for New Mexico on a prospecting trip. One of the broth CTS. Fred, became demented on the trip and while enroute home he leaped from the rear of the train while IL was running 40 miles an hour. The train was stopped and backed to the place where he leaped, but no trace of him could be found. Just what became of him immediately after is not known as he sustained broken leg, and severe bruises by the fall and it was impossible for him to go far. Twenty-four hours later he dragged himself to a farmhouse and asked for aid. When he jumped he rolled over and over, being severely injured, but reason returned with the physical shock He cut off his trou- sers leg, and cut some stiff, heavy weeds, and placed them around the leg. Then he bound them with slips o,f his trousers firmly in place. His belt was used to lash both legs close together to stiffen the injured member Then he began his wearisome hunt for help.

Sequel to Recent Tragedy.

Another killing has occurred at Cor nerstone, supposed to be the direct result of the killing of Nose Black well, a negro, by w. c. Alexander, a saloonkeeper, of which Alexander was acquitted on the ground of self-de- fense. The victim was c. A. Butler, 45 years old, constable of Bogg town ship, Jefferson county. He had noth- ing to do with the killing of Black well, but is supposed to have been mistaken for Alexander, as the shoot ing was done by a negro while MT. Butler was seated on the porch of MT. Alexander's residence. Louis Franklin, negro 35 years old, has been arrested, charged with the crime.

Killed Negro In Saloon.

w. c. Alexander, a saloon keeper at Cornerstone, Jefferson county, shot and instantly killed Nose Blackburn, negro recently. The shooting was the result of quarrel over some money which the saloonist is said to have accused the negro of stealing. An inquest was held and a verdict of justifiable homicide was rendered. This is the second negro that Alex ander has shot. He shot another negro at Sherrill some years ago, but the negro did not die from his wounds He also had some trouble with white man named Sanders few years ago, at Sherrill, in which Sanders was badly used up.

May Boost Taxation.

The Garland county Board of Equal ization, now in session, will make an effort to boost taxation to the highest possible notch. Garland county got into a financial state so low that the county has been compelled to close several bridges on important highways not having funds to repair them or build new ones and the citizens have been compelled to advance money to the county in order to have roads put in seasonable shape. The attitude of the Board of Equalization is the result.
