MRS. HORN IS
 DESTITUTE

It is understood that the widow of the late Robert M Horn, who met such tragic death Friday night while alighting from an Iron Mountain pas senger train, is in destitute circum stances. The deceased carried a life insurance policy of $100 in a local union, but this amount was required to pay the funeral expenses. The Car penters Union of this city have started fund for her benefit, and the public generally is asked to subscribe to it. Mrs. Horn has two small children and two married daughters in Oklahoma, who could not be notified of their fathers death on account of the telegraph strike.
 H. l.. Seymour, the business agent of the local Carpenters Union, will see that any donations turned over to him will be given to Mrs. Horn.

The Arkan- sas River Packet Company, according to an agreement with the Board of Trade, will build large brick ware house near the wharf for the storing of cotton and other freight.
 The commissioenrs of Sidewalk Dis trict No. 1 presented a petition asking that the people living on the parts Of Olive and Walnut streets embraced in this district, be allowed to change the grade Of their sewers and water pipes, leading to their property, with out taking out permit from the city engineer. The council granted the petition, providing that the work be done under the direction of the city sanitarian.
 The Board of Public Affairs recom- mended that the council have some repair work done on the police court room, so as to have the office of the sanitarian with the city collector, and have room enough in the court room for another office. The matter was referred to the finance committee.
 The Lakeside Methodist church was allowed to put off indefinitely the con- meeting of their property with the sewer, as they said that they intended to build a new church in the near flu iture, and that the work would be 3 dead expense to them.
 Under the head of new business, Alderman Jordan moved that the coun- cil go to the speaking at the court house, and the council adjourned at $50, the session only lasting 50 min- utes.

BIC FIRE AT
 AT BRICK YARD Three Thousand Dollars Damage Done by Flames at Plant Of Pine Bluff Brick Company
THREE KILNS BURNED
Bremen Were Helpless-Outside Of Fire Limits-Flames Attracted Large Crowd to tie Scene-Much Wood Was Saved.

Brick kilns, three in number, valued at about three thousand dollars, own. ed by the Pine Bluff Brick Company inI ithe southern part of the city, were to. tally destroyed by fire this afternoon between 2 and 3 o'clock. The. Fire Department was still fighting the flames at a late hour this afternoon and it was thought at 2:35 o'clock that the fire boys had the fire under control. -
 The fire was discovered shortly af- ter o'clock and efforts were made to smother it. They were unsuccessful however, and in less time than it takes to tell, the flames spread from one kiln to another. The three kil1s that were destroyed were close togethec and had there been others nearby they would have been consumed.
 An alarm of fire was sent to the up town fire stations and the department
 responded immediately. The brick yards of the Pine Bluff Brick Com pany are outside of the city limits and are not in the fire limits. The fire men were helpless after their arrival, because of their inability to get water in the neighborhood. They did good work, however, in assisting the en- ployes of the company in removing hundreds of feet of wood, which were stored on the ground adjoining that upon which the burning kilns were situated. They saved the brick com pany many hundreds of dollars in this way.
 AS no general alarm was sounded, few people in the city knew of the fire. The big conflagration attracted hundreds of people to the scene who live in the blocks surrounding the brick yards.

CANDIDATES
 HEARD AGAIN "A Big Crowd Heard the As pirants for Prosecuting ,~& X Attorney Speak at the Court House Last Night.
MANY CHARGES MADE

 ing in Pers0nalities-The LaJd
 Case Again.

j Two thousand people heard the candidates for prosecuting attorney Of the Eleventh Judicial District speak at the Jefferson county court house last night. Among them were many ladies and for more than two hours the candidates discussed the issues of She campaign.
 --x1t was a meeting arranged by At7 torney W. T. Young and he was the first speaker, Judge w. D. Jones, the present prosecutor, was the next ;. speaker and T. Havis Nixon followed him. Then came MT. Young with 3 ten minute rejoinder During the evening many personalities were in- dulged in by the candidates, but there was little brought forth that had not already been referred to in previous speeches by the candidates at various points over the district.
 One of the most startling state ments was that made by w. T. Young in which he charged that s. M Fay Tor, W. D. Jones' law partner, receiv- l s200 from E. P. Ladd not to prose- a6nte him when he was under indic.- nent for the murder of NJo1in Scott. This statement, Mir. Young declared he could prove. Mr. Young's speech was muchly the same as his many speeches in the past few weeks, in which he denounced certain charge that had been made against him by his opponents and at the same time presenting his claims to show that he was fully competent and thoroughly versed in the criminal law He de- clared that he would be elected pros ecuting attorney next Friday and that he would come to Pine Bluff with large majorities from Lincoln and De- aha counties.
 Judge w. D. Jones in his speech referyed to the Ladd case many times, declaring that he had done all in his power to bring about the indictment 0f B. P. Ladd; that the two grand ju- rles by which the case has been inves- t1Bated had misunderstood the testi M1pny or something of that kind He Explained his position in the matter nd repeated many statements that
 d been made before on the stump in Is city and county. He denied that 4A had promised MT. Young that ho
 ould remain out of the race this ttme, if MT. Young remained out of te race the last time he ran and was elected. His remarks from that on were similar in detail to his state ulents at various times, which have already been published in the Gra- phlc.
 In his speech T. Havis Nixon again aaserted that he would reform things, Hselected prosecuting attorney. His talk was also along the same lines as those in previous speeches. There was practically no new matter inject ed into the campaign, excepting a statement by Nixon, in which he said that he was playing poker with some friends in rooming house on East Third avenue some few months ago, and the police raided the place. They
 Mixed in, Nixon said, stood around

Of GOOD roads; both desire, and re-
ouire good roads; but, III using
them, let each pay respect to the

The country roads which are

whose inhabitants pay the eNpence
Of keeping them in repair.

farmers pay street tax in his adioin-

Neither the farmer nor the auto
mobilsts should abuse each other;
both have rights, but they must

Let the automobiles drive care
fully upon the country roads, and
keep an open eye for the slow driv-

Many patrons had their homes
ruined and farms flooded when the
Mississippi river broke its bounds
a few years ago. TO these brothers
and sisters in distress, the National
Grange voted several thousand dol

They frequently turn out i'll a

harvest grain for a brother who is

In Illinois, the little child of a
worthy borther was taken to far

thereby lameness for life prevented
by a ncighboring Grange, who
knew that the father lacked sufiici-

CURRENCY BILL
IS POSTPONED
NO DOCTORING AT PRESENT
subcommittee Framing Bill to
Present Later in Session

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 10
II can be stated on the highest
authority that if the subcommittee
Of the house committee on banking
and currency now dealing with the
subject can have its way, no effort
will be made by the present con-
gress to adopt legislation remedial
Of the present financial condition
All the energies of that committee
will be directed toward the framing
and passage of laws more general
in character and which will be in
tended to preclude shrinkage of the
circulation, entailing widespread
financial distress.
The Sub committee held a four
hours conference today with its
chairman, Representative Fowler
Of New Jersey, at which the bill
which the subcommittee has under
taken to draft was earnestly dis
cussed but no decision as to its
precise character and scope was
reached. 1t is not likely the sub
committee will be ready to report
on the bill until after the holidays.
Men high in the world of finance
will be given all opportunity to
appear before the committee to pre-
sent their views on the proposed
measure. Much time will be spent
in both the house and senate in
considering the bill when reported
and it is the hope of the members
OF the banking commission that the
finances of the country will have SO
adjusted themselves by that time
that there will be no necessity for
legislation looking to the correction
OF present conditions.

A Psalm, of Farm Life.

Tell me not in broken measures.
Modern farming does not pay,
For farm produces chickens.
And the hens-do they not lay?
Eggs are high and going higher
And the price is soaring fast,
Every time we get to market
1t is higher than the last
Not coop but it produces
Every day an egg or two;
So each farmer gains his millions,
Even though his hens be few.
Every egg is very precious,
And the hens are held i'll awe;
When the hens begin to cackle,
Then the farmer goes, "Haw, haw'
In broad and busy farmyard
Struts a rooster now and then,
But the shrewd, bewhiskered farmer
Only notices the hen.
Trust no rooster howe'er snowy
Re the feathers in his tail.
