TWO FIRE ALARMS
 IN RAPID SUCCESSION


 A supposed burning trash pile, which was never located by the fire boys, at Second avenue and Hickory street, caused no little excitement last night lat 6:15 o'clock. The alarm was sent in, from that corner and the Fire De- partment hurriedly responded to the call. After arriving there the firemen could find no traces of fire nor smoke. They returned to Headquarters an1 had no sooner entered their respective engine houses, than they were called to the same place again. They made an investigation, but no more was ascertained than on the first visit. The fire boys returned to their head quarters again.

ANOTHER FRISCO
 LINE PROJECTED
Plan to Build Road From Monticello to Pine Bluff to Connect With the
 Road North and South.

Developments of the past few days indicate that a Rock Island Prise connection is to be built from DeVall's s Bluff south into Louisiana, probably to Monroe. It was learned last night that active steps are being taken to build a line from Pine Bluff to Monti- cello, a distance of 5 miles, via Star City and Tyro, to connect with road which is now being surveyed to De- Vall's Bluff and at Monticello with a line projected south to Hamburg, and thence via the A., l.. & G. to Monroe.
 w V. Hilliger is said to o>have been here for some time working in the in- terest of the Monticello-Pine Bluff line, and J. M. Street, county judge of Chicot county, who arrived here re- gently, is said to be in Little Rock in connection with this line.
 Surveys were made for the Monti- cello-Pine Bluff line, which is stated on high authority to be a Frisco prop osition, about IS months ago, and the right of way has been secured.
 A preliminary survey has been con- pleted for the Pine Bluff, North and South railroad, with which the Monti cello line would connect for DeVall's Bluff.
 The proposed line would devlop a country rich in agricultural resources, and capable cf cotton, rice, hay and many other crOps.-Little Rock Gazette.

CONNECTS TO GO
 TO STATE FARM
Two Hundred and Fifty Prisoners to Be Sent to Lincoln County to
 Harvest Cotton Crop

One hundred and fifty convicts will be transferred from the camps of the lessees to the state convict farm in Lincoln county before the end of the week. The convicts are needed to pick the cotton on the farm and har- vest the corn and other crops, says the Little Rock Gazette.
 The lessees are expected to object to this arrangement, but the neces- sity of the situation demands that they
 be placed in the cotton patch, and in the big corn field later on.
 About 200 of the prisoners working at the rock crushed, and at the brick yard of the Arkansas Brick and Man ufacturing Company's plant, and about 50 employed on railroad work by Contractor w. l.. Reaves, will in a few days be engaged in picking cot ton. The change, it is said, may in terfere somewhat with the contractors in the fulfillment of some of their contracts, but this the penitentiary commissioners say, is no concern of theirs. The law provides that when the convicts are needed on the state farm they may be taken there from the camps of any lessee.
 Commissioner Guy B. Tucker stated yesterday that so far as he was con cerned nothing should interfere with the successful operation of the con- vict farm. ''Convicts are needed there now," he said, "and they will have to go there as fast as they can be sent. Cotton picking on the farm shall not be retarded if I can help it.
 Secretary of State O. c. Ludwig, who is also member of the peni- tentiary board, stated that at least 250 convicts would be taken to the farm within the next two or three days. We expect to raise on the state farm this year from 900 to 1000 bales of cotton and we want men there to pick it out as fast as it de- velops. We want the men on the ground so as to be prepared to take of all weather favorable to cotton picking. What we desire is maintain the grade, which can be done if pickers are plentiful at the op- perfume picking moment Should the grade be maintained the cotton will easily bring 15 cents, which means about $75,000 or more to the state.''
 It is probable that the order to transfer 200 convicts from the Dick inson camps, and 50 from the Reaves camp, to the convict farm will be is- sued to Superintendent J. A. Pitcock today or tomorrow.

WHITE WOMAN SENT
 OUT OF TOWN

Essie Hare, the young white woman who was sent to the Crittenton Home in Little Rock several days ago and later left that institution, declaring that it was ''too quiet" for her, and who has caused the police no end of trouble ever since her return here, has been given three days to leave Pine Bluff. Her stay must be perma- nent. The woman was charged with petit larceny She could not be sent to the courjy farm because J. M. Ora cie will not work white women on his plantation. She said she did not care what became of her and appa- rently had no self pride. Justice Fra zer gave her three days to leave the city and dismissed the case against her, upon her promise to do so.

WHICH WOULD YOU RATHER
 RE2

If an editor makes a mistake he has to apologize for it, but if a doctor makes mistake he buries it. If an editor makes one there is law suit, swearing and the smell sulphur, but if a doctor makes one, there is a funeral, cut flowers and a smell of varnish.
 A doctor can use a word a yard long without knowing what it means, but if an editor uses it he has to spell it. Any old college can make a doctor. You can't make an editor: he has to be born.

ST. LOUIS IN OCTOBER

The best town in America will be at it's best in the best month of the twelve this year. The fall festivals of St. Louis are known far and wide, but never in the city's history have they been of such mag nltude, variety and interest as they will be in october of this year.
 A water pageant such as we have never yet seen on the Missis- sippi River will welcome the presi- dent o1 the United States as the clty's guest. and he will be greeted here by scores of the foremost men of the country intent upon great enterprise looking to the good of the Valley and of the entire coun- try.
 The gayly decorated fleet of steamers which will brighten the water front of St. Louis for miles on the occasion of the presidents visit will be worth coming far to see, but it will not put out of mind the serious purpose which it will typify. The procession which will accompany the president from the river to the western end of the city will attract thousands of spec tators, most of whom will prefer to look upon it as illustrating the march of the movement for the deep waterway.
 The Yelled Prophet will reveal new splendors to St. Louis and the visitors within her gates. The pa rade of the Million Club, setting forth the industrial and commercial powers of the city, will make spec tacle entertaining to all and in structive to those who do not real jze what St. Louis has become. In a ball of unusual magnificence. wat erways delegates here to meet the pIcSlQouJ Will Do lullldleu lutO tue mysteries of St. Louis ceremony which makes the coming of OcNSer memorable every year in the city and for hundreds of miles around.
 Of not less interest than the presi- dents visit will be the October meet in St. Louis of the worlds cham pions in aerial navigation, St. Louis having been chosen as the best spot In the civilized world as a starting point for the competition of long distance aerial voyagers.
 The start of the balloons and the airships from the grounds chosen by the St. Louis Aero Club will be sights well worth seeing, but they will have value beyond that to the curious spectator. The worlds best achievements in navigating the air with dirgible airships and aero planes will be illustrated and, in all probability, a new worlds record
