lEvEE EXPERTS ! ARE COMING
 Will Build Spur Levee on H North Bank of Arkansas { River at This Point to & Prevent a "Cut Of ,'
To ARRIVE THURSDAY
Right .of.Way Secured With One Small 1. Exception, Which May Not Be Nee.
 essary-William Parker Will Sup. sS erintend the Work.

Secretary J. L. Caldwell of the Pine ( Bluff Board of Trade has been notified that the government engineers, who will have charge of the work of build ing the spur levee on the other side of the river to prevent the threatened < cut off, will arrive in this city tomor- NOW to start their work The survey ing is to be done immediately, and the other work will be started as soon as that part is finished. The work will be pushed to completion and thera will be no channel few miles north Of this city for the water to flow through during the high water stage next spring. /
 Secretary Caldwell announces that he has secured the right of way for the leyee, as the government required, with the exception of that along the land owned by the Vaugine heirs. This land comprises about 90 acres, and 21Rere will be some complication about tting the right of way there, ana Probably the matter would have to be allowed by the court. It is not known positively yet, however, that the levaa will extend along this land, and if :t does not, no right of way will have to be secured. In that case all the pre- liminary work for the levee has all ready been done, and the Board of Trade is ready for the Federal Gov ernment to proceed with their work
 These engineers will come down from the Government station at Little Rock, of which William Parken is the head. MT. Parken is at the head Of the station there and will superin- tend the work here. Two engineers MI arrive here tomorrow. They will sd0 the preliminary work for the con- Struction of the levee.
 Captain William E. Connor, the heal the office of the Government engi- M1ers in Memphis, has charge of all work done on this river and large Aylount of other southern territory. A1 work is done according to his di- 5tions.
 The appropriation received from tha
 Congress for work on the Arkan- s1 river at this point and on the
 lite river at Augusta amounted to ,000, and it is thought that the Nfk on this spur levee will cost in HIT neighborhood of $50,000 This le y will be long lasting protection t0Pine Bluff against the threatened cut off, which, it has been thought, W0nld eventually leave this city four miles or more from the Arkansas riv-

Provincetown, Mass, Aug. 20.- That the government will continue to the fullest it's policy of prosecuting corporations guilty of violating the law of the land was the stressed point in the speech of President Roosevelt today at the laying of the cornerstone of a monument to the Pill grim Fathers who first hnded on American soil. Following the rumor emanating from Wall street a few days ago, that in this address he would an- nounce his intention of pursuing a policy of leniency and institutl no more suits, he took the trouble to al- ter the text of his original manuscript in order to make more emphatic his determination that there is to be no let-up while he is in the executive chair, and that there is still cause for action against recreant corpora tions. His speech, therefore, is n part reply to the utterances and the threatenings of "the street."
 After discussing at considerable length the characteristics of the Pill grims,, in which he threw into the light the Puritan capacity for meeting new conditions successfully and over- coming all obstacles to advancement, he used their example as a text for q discourse on the necessity Of our mod l. ern government meeting the new con- ditions brought about by presen: busi- ness methods. He declared that the federal government must provide 5ew machinery to deal with those condi- tions, of which the framers of the con- stitution did not dream. He dccla"ed himself in favor of federal incor- poration law for corpora tions engag- ed in interstate business, thereby ar raying himself in opposition to the ut terances of Secretary Taft on the sarc e subject yesterday.
 Cornerstone Laid by Masens.
 The cornerstone exercises wee in charge of the Massachusetts Grand Commandery of the Masons, and the ritual was conducted by '. Henry Blake. The speech of the president was delivered from a stand erected on the side of the hill.
 James Bryce, British ambassador offered the congratulations of the mother country. Other speakers in- cluded Governor Guild, Senator Lodge and the officers of the town and the monument association.

5. ALEXANDER JR.
 VAS NEAR DEATH How He Was Given Strych- nine by Mistake at Mani tou, Colorado-Fell Un- conscious on the Street.
GREAT AGONY
For HOurs-Lfie Hung on a Thread Knew His Condition. but Could Not Speak-Has Fully Recovered Man Lost Job.

Pine Bluffians, who returned yester- day from Manitou, Colorado, gave a graphic account of the narrow escape
 which s. c. Alexander Jr, the well
 known local cotton man, had from death several days ago in that city,
 after being given twelve grains of | strychnine by a prescriptionist by mis- take, his prescription calling for
 quinine The prescriptionist lost his job. MT. Alexander was deathly sick land near deaths door for three days
 and no little excitement was caused at the Cliff hotel, where the victim of the prescriptionist' carelessness and the many Pine Bluffians are stopping. MT. Alexander was suffering from a cold. He procured a prescription from his physician, who prescribed so many grains of quinine for the patient. Tha store and had the prescription filled The directions were to take two tab lets at time, but fortunately MT. AL exander thought them rather large and took only one. He took it just before the dinner hour and after eat ing dinner he walked out of the hotel and fell unconscious on the street. He was carried into the hotel. His body was rigid and the screams he uttered were heard throughout the hotel. Physicians were called and were at first unable to tell what caused tne attack. At the drug store the fright ened prescriptionist stated that he had used strychnine only once during the day and that was to fill prescrio- tion for guest at the hotel. The story was told. The physicians worked for hours with MT. Alexander, declaring longer. His wife and friends were sorrow stricken. The physicians re- mained with him however, and finally
 brought him around to a more favor able point. His screams are said to re been horrifying and when he began to improve there was great re- joicing among his Pine Bluff friends.
 When Mir. Alexander regained con- sciousness he told of his experience while under the influence of the poi son. He was conscious, as far as knowing of all that was going on about him, but speeches.. He hea" I'd the physicians say that he would prob ably not last more than thirty min utes, and said that he began to real ize that his end was near. He thought to himself. he said, shall I die with. out being able to speak to my wife and son. He exerted himself to speak a word, but was unable to do so. The scene was one of the most horrible ever witnessed by the few Pine Bluff ians who were with him.
 MT. Alexander was unable to leave his bed for three days. He has now fully recovered. The attending physi- clans say that had MT. Alexander talk en two tablets instead of one, he
 would have died a horrible death. There was enough strychnine in the box of tablets, given MT. Alexander, to have ordinarily killed one hundred neOn1a

 State of Arkansas, County of Jeffer- son, ss.:
 We, the undersigned citizens of Jef- ferson county, Arkansas, were mem bers of the grand jury who investigat- ed the killing by D. P. Ladd of J. M.

President Roosevelt's eulogy Of pos

in the breasts of Southern editors.
many of whom are qualified to bear
personal testimony to the accuracy
of Mr.. Roosevelt's observation.

Uncle Sam Tips Walters.

The federal governments recognition
of the tipping habit has been given hv
the auditors of the various departments
in paying expense accounts of federal
employees travelling officially. Tins
amounting to more than 100000 a year
have been authorized.
So thoroughly convinced are the &C
counting officers that tips are proper
that the word has been passed along the
line and the smiling walters upon dining
cars are no longer to be Disseminated
against. The dead-line heretofore has
been drawn against them, but hereafter
Uncle Sans servant dining upon rail
road trains will be permitted to use some
of Uncle Sans money as tips to walters.
1t is estimated that there are 4766 din
ing cars in operation daily, and that the
daily average of government employees
on the road is 725. Should each con
tribute the limit of 40 cents which has
been set the walters. will accumulate
$3.50 daily and Uncle Sam will have to
pay out in the course of year S1O2, so
as tips to walters
