|CHILD'S NARROW ESCAPE
Two Freight Cars Run Over Phillip Yae-
 gers Son Without Injuring Him.

Anton, the S-year-old son of Phillip Yaeger, made remarkably narrow escape from death or ser ious injury Tuesday afternoon, lwhen two freight cars passed over
 linn without hurting him in the feast. The boy was returning from the Catholic school, and in attempt ing to cross the railway track ahead of some approaching cars which were being backed by the local freight engine, stumbled and fell between the rails. A brakeman saw the boy fall and the engineer stopped the train as soon as possi- ble. The train crew ran to rescue him, expecting him to be mangled 'by the wheels, but Anton was not even scratched. He had the rare presence of mind to lay close to the ties and not attempt to get out un- til the cars were stopped.

New Concrete Walk.

The new concrete sidewalk along the north side of Oak street is thing of beauty, and, as the work manship seems to be frst-class, it will doubtless be a joy forever. The walk is ten feet in width and 300 feet long. Dr. o. Tydings of Chicago, who owns 15o feet along this block, also had a splendid curb and gutter placed along his prop erty. The remainder of the front age is owned by Sam Frauenthal and Cole & Co.

MEETING OF CITY COUNCIL
Several Matters Considered by Council at
 Session Held Last Week

The city council held meeting Wednesday night of last week, the council having adjourned the pre- vious night on account of lacking a quorum. All members were present except Recorder R. D. White.
 A number of accounts, amount ing to S536. s, which had accum, ulated for several weeks, were al lowed under a suspension of the rules.
 The finance committee reported the marshal's and treasurer S re- ports correct and a balance in the treasury on April 9 of S19I6.62.
 The improvement committee re- ported on the petition for side walk on the south side of W. J. Wilkins property, that MT. Will kins had agreed to lay Tagging walk on the side and to lay con- crete later in front of the building.
 A communication from the board of the electric light improvement district, asking for an appropria- ton of S1ooo from the city, was read and referred to the finance committee. The communication recited that about S6ooo worth of improvements had been added to the plant during the past year, and that the total indebtedness includ- ing the unpaid purchase money notes amounted to about S45oo. The appropriation asked for was needed to complete the payments on the new dynamo.
 A petition was read asking for an ordinance requiring concrete sidewalk on the west side of Front and Stell streets from North to In- dependence street. The petition asked that the walk be made eight feet in width from North street to the street north of the new mason ic hall and five feet for the remain ing territory. An ordinance cov- ering the petition was introduced and read the first time and refer red to the improvement committee. It was suggested that the ordinance ought to include the west side o1 Front street from Hendrix college to the public square, and an amend. ment to this effect may be adopt ed before the ordinance is passed.
 An ordinance preventing en- croachments on the streets and sidewalks by fences or other ob structions was introduced and read the first time and referred to the judiciary committee.

SHORT CROP IS PREDICTED
Capt. Wallis of Palarm Believes that Cot
 ton will Bring IS to 20 Cents.

I. A. Wallis of Palarm, one of the most extensive planters in the Arkansas Valley, was in the city yesterday and reports that the pros pect for a cotton crop this year are most gloomy. The greater part of his cotton has been planted the third time, the acreage each time growing less on account of the scarcity of seed. The stand is the poorest he has known in many years, and the water stands in the fields as though there were flood. He estimates the years crop at not more than 10, ,ooo, ,ooo bales, and predicts that cotton next year will sell at from IS to 20 cents. - Little Rock Democrat.

ENDRIX-OUACHITA SERIES
College Boys Play Three Games on Local
 Grounds This Week.

The Hendrix College ball team met their ancient antagonists, Ouachita, in a series of three games, beginning Monday, on the local grounds. Mondays game went to the visitors by score of Is to 4. Loose playing in the second inning lost the game for Hendrix, Ouachita scoring four unearned runs. The game was featured by two home runs, one a sharp grounder to center by Lucas of Hendrix, which took bad bound and eluded the fielder, and a clean drive over the right field fence by Wallace of the visitors.
 Tuesdays game was won by Hendrix, 3 to 2. The local boys secured only twos hits, one a scratch, but they were lucky in counting on bases on balls and the visitor s errors.

Inese extracts from lecture care
1ully composed by Mr.. Lincoln at the
mature age of twenty eight and after
considerable experience in the. public
service are worthy Of attentive peru
sal. 10 those familiar with his sober
ana pure style at a later age these
sopnomorlc passages will seem incred-
lDle. But they were thought cable and
eloquent by the Young Mems lyceum
OF Springfield. He was SOLICITED to
furnish copy for publication" and
they We're duly printed in the sanga-
mon journal, In the mere matter of
rhetoric they compare favorably with
some OF his other productions Of nearly
the same date. This was what he
would have called his "growing time"
and 1t is intensely interesting to wit
ness the processes Of such mental
growth as his. In time gradually, but
still rapidly-his style changes COM
pletely. The constrained and unnatu-
raj attempts at striking and lofty met
aphor disappear, and the qualities
which produced the Gettysburg ad-
dress, that model Of unadorned elo-
quence, begin to be felt He finds the
people understand him better when he
comes down from his stills and talks
to them from their own level.
Continued next week.
