MENA CITIZENS IN LUCK.
Messrs. Reeves, Parks and Browning
 Have Made Rich Gold Strike.


 F. M. Reeves, who, with Dr. Parks and s. Browning, has been developing some mining claims iu the rich Custer county mining district of Colorado, received a re- port from Mir. Browning las, week, that indicates that Mena will have a millionaire or two among It's citizens before a great while. The assayer's report shows a value of S60.72 per ton of silver and lead from ore taken from near the surface of a three. foot vein.
 Mir. Browning writes that this is said to be the richest strike ever made in Custer county and mines have sold ia that district for $40, 900 and $50, GOO.
 Dr. Parks is in Colorado with Mir. Browning at the present time and Mir. Reeves expects to make trip during the summer.
 Mir. Reeves is taking the good good news iD his usual passive manner, but from Browning s letter it would seem that such is not the case with Dr. Parks. Browning writes that when he placed some of the ore in Dr. Parks hand and told him it was the richest strike in Custer coun. ty, :" Doc began to tremble and his hands quivered as though he had buck ague."

 Charges Against Him.

k. J. Tartar, who was taken to Fort Smith for preliminary hearing on the charge of forgery as mentioned in The Star last week, succeeded by the showing made by his attorney, Judge Wright Prickett, in having the case dismissed.
 It was shown by the defense that after returning from Fort Smith, where he drew checks to the amount of SAY, Tartar charged himself with the amount in the partnership book and the justice of the peace dismissed the case.

OPENING DANCE IN
 NEW AUDITORIUM
hundreds of Dancers and Spectators Enjoy Happy Evening Under Almost Perfect Conditions
 Novel Building.

The opening dance given last week by the management of the new auditorium was a success. The night was ideal, the music was good, the floor was perfect, and the only other thing needed to make conditions just right for an enjoyable dance-a jolly crowd of happy young people-was there to do it's part.
 As the hour for the grand march approached the dancers began to assemble in pairs and parties, and 1t was with looks of anticipated pleasure that eyes were directed to dancing floor that for size and perfection of hnish excelled any ever seen by the greater number of those present.
 The orchestra was placed in the center of the floor aud when Its members, with Miss Anora Hoge at the piano, took their places, the grand march was begun. Under the leadership of T. J. Clayton and Miss Della Cox about seventy five couples march ed and countermarched about the hall, making scene that was enjoyed by hundreds of oulookers h the balcony and on the floor.
 After the grand march the dance was on in earnest, and save for a slight interruption caused be the over taxing by the 500 lights of an electric fuse, was continued until the early hours of the morning.
 The management deserves the good will of all for the able con- duct of the occasion, and Mena has reason to congratulate itself on having so fine hall in which its people may gather for any similar entertainment.

The auditorium, which was designed and constructed by w, M. Palmer, the we'll known con- tracter and builder of this city, is a decided novelty in construc- tion, the roof and walls being supported by twelve arches, tie base of which are 75 feet apart, and the highest point about 40 feet from the floor. This con- struction does away with all posts, leaving the floor entirely free from all Instructions. The floor proper is 65x120 feet, a balcony occupying about thirty feet of the entrance end of the hall. The floor is of the best of hard maple and is built especially for dancing and roller skating, and probably unequaled by any in Arkansas.

Denver, Colo, Oct. 9.-After many
denials, Kemp Bigelow, 21 year old
book clerk, last night confessed to
the police that he had sent dynamite
bombs to Governor Buchtel, David
Moffatt, Charles B. Kountze and Law
renee Pnipps, because ne needed
money" and admitted that ne lied in
the sensational story he told the of
ficers of overhearing a conspiracy dis
cussed by two men Sunday night to
dynamite the home of Edward Chase
and to assassinate the men above
mentioned. He placed the dynamite
sticks found by the police in vacant
lot next to the Chase home. Bigelow
stated that ne did not desire TO injure
any of these citizens, and his story
to the police of overhearing the plot
bears him out in this statement, but
he says he thought his victims would
reward him handsomely for warning
them of their danger.

UP by the assurance which Governor
Curry has that President Roosevelt
will lend his active assistance to New
Mexico in the campaign for admis-
sion, and by assurances from a great
many members of congress whom he
met on his trip that they would not
only not oppose the admission of this
Territory. but would take a hand in
helping along the effort.

people who had gathered to greet
aim. "A band announced his arrival,
and for half an hour after ne entered
the Alvarado lobby he was kept ex-
tremely busy shaking hands with the
people, who turned his arrival into a
sort of informal reception.
The Governor finally managed to
remove the dust of travel before join
/ ing the fair committee at dinner, and
there he talked briefly of his inter
views with the President on the state
hood question and of the work which
| he believes should be done without
delay to insure that New Mexico's
claims are properly laid before con
gress.
L am assured said the Governor,
| that We have the sympathy of the
President in our effort to gain admis-
sion, and that we will have his active
cooperation in that effort 1t remains
for us to make it. 1t seems to me that
it is vitally necessary for us to go
before congress with some definite
expression of what we desire, and it
is even more desirable and necessary
that that expression should represent
the sentiment of the entire popula-
ton of New Mexico. Congress does
not want to be bothered with our To-
cal troubles in New Mexico, but if
this territory goes before congress
with definite demand supported by
the unanimous expression OF the peo-
pie of the territory, 1 believe an ena-
bling act will have been passed with |
in two months after congress meets. |
Il intend to take up the question
at once with Mr.. Bursum, Of the Re
publican committee, Mr. Jones of the
Democratic committee, and the lead
,rs of the two parties and see what
ean be done toward prompt action.
Should we go before congress with
ready made constitution, congress
Gight be inclined to approve it if it
we're supported by the unanimous sen
iment of the people To call the old
;elegates elected last gear, however,
would probably bring objection from
Ome quarters
should the governor appoint new
delegates for such constitutional
convention, objection would probably
come from some other quarter But
We all want statehood. and it seems to
ne the proper course to go before
congress with an united demand. and
[ think an enabling act will be passed
yery soon, which will authorize us to
1o!d constitutional convention, to
frame our constitution and very prob
ably to come into the union before i
he next general election. To gain
this end we must work. In my opin- I
on it will be necessary to make it an
organized movement, which will mean {
the sending of strong committees of
our strongest men from both politi-
This will take time and work and
money, but in my opinion it means
success.
Il find the more than forty mem
oers of congress with whom I talked
during my trip to be very favorable
20 New Mexico's claims &nd almost
without exception to favor admission.
The west and the south are almost
unanimous in favoring us, and | do
not believe there will be the persis-
tent opposition from New England
which has been encountered before.
The outlook is good; so good, in fact
that it does not seem we can fail if
we are prompt in taking advantage of
the opportunity which is open to US
