 The new steel bridge across Osage near this city collapsed and fell last week. The rise in the creek from the heavy rains of last week washed the false works from under the bridge before it was sufficiently braced to suspend itself and 1t fell in the water below. The loss to the bridge company will be several hundred dollars in loss of material and ex- pense of labor in getting the bridge out of the creek and put ting it up again.
 The quarterly report of s. H. Doxey, county treasurer, dis closes the fact that there is but little money in the county treas- ury to the credit of the county with which to meet the current expenses of the county and pay for the new bridge across Osage near this place. The contract price for this bridge is S4500. exclusive of the approaches and lumber used in the construction of the bridge which will cost an additional $500. The payment for this bridge will consume one half of the revenve from taxation which will be collected the com- ing spring. The allowance at the April term of county court will, if as great as they were last year, consume the other half, leaving no money with which to meet the expense of July and October terms of the county court, which cost the tax payers last year over $8,0G0. The con- tract for a new court house at Eureka Springs was let last week to W.O.Perkins for 17,OO0, pay able in three annual installments of equal amounts. This ad- ded to the dificit above men, toned will make a deficit of near ly S14000, at the end of the pres. ent year. It is evident that county warrants will will soon be selling far below par for the first tins in several years.
