FOUNDATION FOR
THE monument

An excavation has been begun on
the site of the soldiers monument in
the center of the new park on Bloom
street. a considerable quantity of
ground has been displaced, which is
being utilized in fly lg up the low
places of the park ust how deep the
excavation will Town cannot be de-
termined at pre- D. The object is to
find a good solid bottom as d fonda
tion for the monument and as soon as
this is reached digging will cease.
Affairs relating to the monument
will soon assume tangible shape. A
meeting of the monument committee
will be held tomorrow night, at which
design will be selected.
1t appears that the advertisements
inserted in Philadelphia and other
newspapers inviting professional peo-
pie to submit designs for the monu-
ment bore no practical fruit. A few
letters were received asking for some
additional information relating to the
monument, but that was all
The monument committee becoming
weary of waiting for designs, which
were looked forward to as the result
of the advertisements, decided to look
to another class for assistance. Prac-
tical workmen, accustomed to doing
marble and cemetery work, according
ly, were called upon and asked to sub
NIT designs with view of bidding
for the actual performance of the work
later on. Tomorrow night is the date
selected for examining the designs.
How many and what kind of designs
may be submitted is not known, but
responses are expected, not only from
local people, but also from contractors
in Sunbury and other neighboring
towns. If the showing is at all favor
able the committee will select a de-
sign tomorrow night, after which the
contract for building the monument
will be let in double quick time.

WILL FINISH
THE STREET TODAY

Today will wind up the work on
the macadam ON north Mill street. BY
last evening the street was completed
up to the P. 81 r. railway crossing.
The remaining thirty yards or so, be-
tween the crossing and the Mahoning
township line, was covered with the
first course of stone. All that remain
ed to be done was to roll the stone
and apply the two remaining courses,
the stone for which is on the spot
The completed roadbed, between the
railway crossing and the paving at
the Touring mill, is as fine piece of
macadam as may be seen anywhere.
The street at one point has been cut
down over two feet and the grade,
which at that place, was quite factor
previously, has been almost entirely
eliminated. The improvement, indeed,
is marked in every respect. Vehicles
are again using the street along its
entire length.

ARM FRACTURED
PLAYING FOOT BALL

Robert, the twelve-year-old son of
Hon. r. 5. zimmerman, sustained a
fracture of his right arm while play
ing foot ball Tuesday evening.
After school, with five other boys,
Robert retired to the court house lawn
for game at the popular sport. They
were playing on the lower side of the
court house and were having fine
time when the foot ball rebounded and
went down over the retaining wall on
the lower side of the ground.
Robert, in order to make a touch
down, stated Immediately after the
ball. AS he leaped down over the wall
his foot slipped on the top stone and
he fell headfirst to the ground below.
To break his fall he instinctively
threw out his right arm AS he struck
the ground the extended arm received
the weight of the entire body. The
result was that the bone of the fore
arm was fractured about two inches
above the wrist.
The boy at once realized the extent
of the injury and without any ado
pluckily ran to the office of DIR. Pat
ton. Accompanied by the physician
he went to his home where the tract
ure was reduced.
The injury was of very painful
nature and before rho hnua could he
set it was necessary to administer an
anaesthetic. Tuesday evening Robert
had recovered from the effect of the
operation and was able to be about.

 Despite the secrecy used by the anarchists in spreading the call; for the congress and in safeguarding their plans and projects, the authori- ties of Holland have become we'll ac- quainted with their plans and thee necessary measures have been taken to cooperate with the police spies of other nations in ferreting out the bloody projects of the reds:
 As a result of the congress, the bodyguards of every European mon- arch have been reinforced and re- doubled vigilance will be used in at- tempting to prevent any murderous attack on kings or emperors. It is not likely that any attempt will be made to suppress the congress, as the authorities consider it better to de- pend on the spies to get secret infor- nation of the plans of the anarchists.

 Each of these seven ladies will in turn reign one day during the Fair as the Hostess and Queen of the State Fair, during the other days she will prominently participate in all the functions, as one of the honored court ladies in the retinue of the reigning queen.
 The Women's Federated Clubs of Arkansas are with the Fair Associa- tion in this great popularity contest The Federation has a standing State Fair Committee who are even now sending out letters to every club in the State, urging them to see that suitable ladies are brought into the voting contests in each district, so that we are sure to have State Fair Queens of whom we may all be truly proud

Amsterdam, Aug. 24.-While dis tinguished men of all nations are gathered at The Hague to talk of peace, Amsterdam is soon to be the scene of another international con gress which has for it's object the in auguration of reign of terror. Grim, silent men are secretly gathering in Amsterdam today by the hundreds and on Monday will begin world wide anarchist conference, bent on discussing the best methods of de- stroying established governments and reaffirming their deadly hatred of all who sit on throne. From America and from far away Australia and Ja- pan they have come, as we'll as from England and every nation of continent al Europe. A large proportion of the delegates are men of apparent culture, and educational sttainments, and bear slight resemblance to the popular conception of bearded, unkempt reds" Among the more notable are Doctor Friedeberg, the Berlin savant; Joha Turner of London, who a few years ago was barred from landing in the United States; Malatesta, the scholar ly but militant leader of the Italian group; M. Dunois of Paris and scores of others equally well known to the pOlica of EurODe.
 While all the deliberations of the congress will be secret, it is stated that death warrants will be issued for the> execution" of several European monarchs, including Czar Nicholas, Kaiser Wilhelm, King Victor Emanuel and King Leopold of Belgium. King Edward, who is known to the conti- mental groups as the anarchists friend" because of the refuge Eng land has given to outlawed revolu tionists who have been driven from other European nations, is said not to be included in the "death list" The English policy, while strongly de- nounced by rulers of other countries, has at least save dits own monarchs from the red wrath.

THE FIRST BALE
 BROUGHT 35 CENTS Taggart Brothers Were the
 Highest Bidders at the < Auction Sale at Board of
 Trade Headquarters.
SHIPPED TO MEMPHIS
First Bale Last Year Brought 50c Per POund-Not the First Bale Shipped to Memphis But the First Received at an Arkansas Cotton Market.

4 The first new bale of cotton brought sto this city this year was sold to sTaggart Brothers Friday afternoon at { o'clock by Secretary J. l.. Caldwell of the Board of Trade for 35 cents per apound. The cotton was auctioned off lin front of the Board of Trade head
 quarters, and large number of the
 cotton buyers of this city were pres
 ent to bid on it.
 The local cotton buyers did not
 agree on the class of the cotton, and
 E. R. Buster, the consignor of the
 bale, was called up over the long dis
 tance phone at Kingsland and asked
 what kind of cotton it was, and what
 kind of staple did he consider it. He
 Feplied that the cotton had been
 brought into Rison by white farmer
 some six or seven miles out, and that he did not know anything about
 1t.
 At last it was decided to sell it any
 way, as the local merchants had got ten up a purse to go with the cotton, and Will Taggart, of the firm of Tag 3gart Brothers, cotton buyers, opened 1the bidding by offering 33 cents for the bale. After good talk from Sec sretary J. L. Caldwell, P. P. Byrd of athe J. B. Speers Grocery company, faised the bid to 34 cents. It Was mot long before MT. Taggart again bid, this time going to 35 cents. This
 was the last and best bid made and the auctioneer declared the cotton the property of Taggart Brothers. s MT. Taggart, when seen Saturday
 morning stated that he had shipped the bale to Memphis Friday night, and sthat the cotton would be sold on the sregular market there. He further stated that he did not think that there swould be any premium on it, as Mem sAphis received her first bale of cotton I'd day or so ago. While premiums are ssplaced on the first bale received from
 certain districts, MT. Taggart under 56tOOd that Arkansas is not in any of
 these districts, and that the cotton SSwould be sold as any other cotton $ slater in the season.
 N While this cototn did not bring as Nhigh price as the first bale last year, Nit was brought more than week Rlater, and Memphis had already TO- Hceived her first bale, while last yea" %the Pine Bluff bale was the first one Eto reach Memphis. This will be tt Fleast the first bale to reach Memphis Nfrom Arkansas, as it is the first bale Fthat has been ginned in this state this yseason.
