Grocers Plan Food Show.

The Retail Grocers' and General Merchants Association met Tuesday night and discussed the pure food show and also the relations that should exist between jobbers and re- tailers.
 The Pure Food Show Committee re- ported that practically all the space has been sold and that after next Sat urday orders for space will be turned down and the entire time will be de voted to making arrangements for the opening, which will be Wednes- day, Oct. 21.
 There is a friendly discussion on between the retail merchants and the jobbers. Complaints have been re- ceived by the association that some jobbers have been acting more or less as retailers. That there are two sides to the controversy was shown when it was brought out that some jobbers claim that some retailers buy goods outside of Little Rock that could be furnished by the local jobbing trade
 At the next regular meeting the retailers will be asked to produce evidences on which their complaints have been founded. and at a future furnish evidences of their complaints The entire discussion. it is said, will be friendly and is not to be consid- cred as fight between retailers and iObberS

To Stop Cavinq of River Bank.

Work which will result in new revetment on the river front at Pine Bluff and the raising of several dikes was begun Monday by the United States snagboat, in charge of Captain Henry Mayer. The work was begun with clearing the river at that point of snags and other Instructions and it is being carried out by the gov ernment to protect the river bank from Beech to Tennessee street which caved considerably of late. Captain William Conner, the government en gineer in charge of that district, recommended the improvements. The government will eXpend S16,000 and the property owners along the river front, who formed an improvement district for that purpose, $10,000.

Railroad Men and Shippers Agree.

Representative of the five trunk lsnes and the Shippers Committee reached a compromise at their confer ence on more than 50 per cent of the interstate freight rates considered by them at the Quapaw Club Thursday. There were 40 rate questions involved The shippers conceded at the start without argument ten debated points to the railroads, and of the 30 remain ing, the railroads made the required concessions on about 20.
 It was agreed by both the shippers and the traffic men, that the confer snce had been most amieable. The traffic men promised the shippers that they would return to Little Rock in month or two, as by that time they hoped to be able to concede the re- maining ten debated questions of ad vances in the interstate tariff to the shippers. In order to do this, the rail road men will have to go over their figures again, and they expect to hold several conferences among themselves, before they return to Little Rock to make their final concessions to the shippers.

Fires Shotgun With Stick.

tragic chapter in the story of the failure of the Bradford bank at Brad ford was added at l o'clock Wednes- day night when H. J. Drennen. cashier of the bank, while q Slgitive from jus tice, wanted for embedding between SS,000 and $10, 900 from the bank, com mitted suicide by blowing out his brains with a shotgun He killed him self in the barn at his home in Brad ford just seven hours after leaving the bank for the last time, and only few hours after warrant was issued for his arrest on the charge of em- bezzlement. His body was not found until Thursday morning.
 The shot, when Drennen discharged the gun, was heard throughout Brad ford, but no attention was paid to it at the time Drennen's wife was ab- sent from home at the time visiting at Jonesboro. Only his three small children were at home.
 The charge from the gun blew off and his brains were scattered over several feet.
 At a recent meeting of the direc- tors of the bank it was decided that the books of the institution should be examined James Johnson of Scar cy, lawyer, but formerly az expert accountant, was em- ployed to examine the books. During the examination We'd nesday errors began to show up and at 1 o'clock Drennen walked out the back door. Nothing was thought of his departure until some time had elapsed, and he failed to return. By that time it had been definitely ascer- tained that the bank was short be- tween $S,000 and Sl0,000 and war rant was issued for the cashiers ar rest and a search instituted for him.
