Prospects Good for Electric
 Light Plant in Springdale.

It is thought by every one that Springdale now has the best op- portunity for securing electric lights that the town has ever had
 G. C. Martin, of the firm of NJ (. X c. C. Martin, contracting electricians of Cleveland, Ohio, withwhomDr. Smith, president of the Citizens League, has been in correspondence for some time, arrived Monday night to look over the field. After interview ing the people here and looking over the town he was very favor ably suppressed, and applied to the town for d franchise. At a special meeting of the council Wednesday morning the ordi- nance granting the franchise was carefully gone over, all the mi nor details arranged, and a reso- lution was adopted pledging the council to the passage of the or dinanee at the next regular meet ing, which will be the first Tues day night in January.
 AS agreed upon, the ordinance grants the Springdale Electric Liget and Power Company d franchise for a term of twenty five years. The rates for busi- ness houses will be 60 cents per month for 16-eandle power lights, and 30 cents for residences, the minimum being Sf.20. Meters will also he put in where desired, the minimum meter rate being S1.00 per month. These prices are very reasonable, and the council also secured good rates for street lighting. The prices are for q service from dusk until midnight
 The company is given ninety

days in which to begin work and eight months to complete the plant. The council also gave them the privilege of using the brick building on the Auditor ium grounds, and in this will De located the engine and generator.
 In conversation with The News MT. Martin says they eA- peet to put m a first-elass, up-to- date plant and one that will render good service. They will put in a seventy-fve horse power engine and hundred horse boiler, giving them capacity ot l 1000 lights, and as the business grows they will increase their capacity accordingly. Although they heve beengiven three months
 in which to begin work. Mr. Martin says they will in all probability be here within sixty days ready to contract for light ing. In wiring the houses the consumers will have to pay for W hat Is inside the house, and then only the act ual cost. Where meters are ifi- stalled the company also pays the expense.
 Taken altogether the contract seems to be very advantageous one for the town, and the action of the counci, will no doubt meet with the approval of the entire people. MT. Martin left for his home this morning. He made very favorable impression on all who met him, and they have con- tidence that lie will carry out his contract. He informs The News that probably both he and his brother will bring their families to Springdale and make this their home.

number of our citizens who desire to hear him but were unable to at- tend his lecture at Fayetteville. Dr. Douthat was captain in the Confederate army, and out of eleven captains in his regiment he was the only one who survived Pickett's famous charge. He comes highly recommended as an interesting speaker, and his lecture tonight will be treat such as is seldom heard in Spring dale. In order to defray the ex- peuses of the lecture a small ad- mission of 25 cents will be charged. No one should fail to attend. and hear the thrilling story of one of the greatest bat ties of the Civil War as told by an eye witness.
 The advertising campaign which is being carried on by Springdale merchants is bearing fruit, as attested by the splendid trade that they are enjoying. Last Saturday probably broke all previous records as to the quanti- ty of goods sold in this town in any one day, and the fact that 1t was pratiecally all cash business goes to show that this portion of the country at least IS not sui fering from any financial panic. Most of the merchants had pro- vlded extra statesmen and then 1t was not possible to wait on the trade. The Springdale Cash Dry Goods Company employed the Black Diamond Orchestra of Fayetteville for the occasion, which furnished music through out the day and evening. Long X Snider introduced an innova- ton by distributing free d quan- tity of merchandise. The goods, together with a lot of pennies, were thrown from the top of their building at 1;30 p. m., and a large crowd of people were con- gregated Tn the street below, partly to witness the proceedings and to share in the general pros-

Kansas City, Mo-, and Atchison, i Frankfort, Howe City, Beattie and Nermilllon, Kansas. He l formerly lived near Frankfort. and II was here that he and Mrs. Martin were married forty-eight years ago. They moved from there forty-one years ago. Nat urally Mr. Martin found many changes had taken place since he left. About the only thing left was the old well which he dug when young man. and again he had the pleasure of drinking the water from it's depths, probably for the last time. Mir. Martin reports an enjoyable time at all the points he visited.
 The News had intended issu- ing the regular Christmas num- Der next week and give space to tile children's letters to Santa Claus, but on account of the eX- tra amount of work that has been necessary in the office the past two weeks We have found 1t necessary to abandon the Christ mas number for this year, which also means that We will not have space for the Santa Claus letters. No one regrets this more than the publisher of the paper, but there are limits to human endur- anee and the capacity of all news ! paper offices, and We have reac h. ed the limit around this office the past two weeks and It would not be ust to the force to burden 1t with the extra work necessary to get out Christmas number. However, with this issue and next We give. our readers some special articles that breathe of the seasons good cheer.
 In this issue of The News will be found the announcement of D. B. Horsley, of Bentonville, as l candidate for prosecuting at torney of the Fourth judieal cir cult, subject to the action of the Democratic primary. Mir. Horsley is the present prosecuting attofn- ey, having been appointed to the position by the governor June 20, 1905, to fill out the unexpired term of Judge Naples. At the Democratic primary in March. 1900, he was a candidate before the people, being opposed by C. NJ. Rice of Bentonvllle, and his popularity IS attested by the fact that he carried every county in the district. MT. Horsley's friends think he IS entitled to second term, although he IS not making the race on that issue. In his work as prosecuting attorney Mir. Horsley's motto has been fair, reasonable and inst enforcement of all the laws against all alike.
 Mir. and Mrs. I. D. Nader re- turned recently from d three weeks visit with relatives in Webster county, Mo-, and Mr. Nader tells The News that he found more kinsfolk up there than he had ever before heard of.

He died May ', 1897, at the age of n years, l having been married twice, his second wife, who survives him, being a sister of Mrs. I. D. Ra- der. Mir. Rader was the father of IS children, Is of whom are living. There are l09 grand children, 97 of whom are living, and 76 great grandchildren, 66 of whom are living. They all reside in Webster county, in the vicinity of Rader, postoffice named for Mir. Rader Mir. Ra- der says they are a lively, jolly, people, and he and his wife had d most enjoya ble time among them.
