FREE FERRY SERVICE
 IS DISCONTINUED
County Judge Gould Refuses to Pay For the Service Because Road Leading to Ferry Boat Is Out of COmmissiOn-Returns Boat to Me- Fadden's Ferry,

The free ferry service furnished the county and city of Pine Bluff by w. T. McFadden has been discontin- ued. This announcement was made yesterday by w. T. McFadden, after he stated that County Judge Gould had refused to allow him further pay for the operation of the free ferry at this point He said he would take his. ferry boat back to McFadden's Ferry landing, a few miles above the city, and operate it as before, under the toll system.
 The free ferry service was inaugu- rated last October by the County Judge and the Pine Bluff Board of Trade for the accommodation of farm CTS and others living north of Pine Bluff and the Arkansas river. The expenses of operating the ferry were borne by the local commercial organ ization and the county. Judge Gould declined to pay for the service long CT, owing to the inability of planters and others to reach the ferry landing on the north side of the river. The road leading to the ferry boat is out of commission since the recent high water and is not being used on that account.

TRACKS LAID
 TO DEPOT SITE;
cotton Belt Track WOrkmen COmpIete Belt Line to the Two Station Sites on Orange Street-WOrk on DepotS
 Will Be Commenced Without Delay.

The Cotton Belt line was completed today as far as the depot sites near the foot of the free bridge, and ac- cordlng to the expressed intentions Of the company, work will now begin upon the two depots just as soon as the material for the builders can be assembled.
 The track layers completed their work during the day, the graders hay ing finished and moved to a point fur ther down yesterday to complete some repairs to the grade west of the free bridge.
 It was stated some time ago that work on the depots was delayed only by the inability of the company to transport the building material with out the necessity of a long haul by wagon. Now the material can be plac ed on cars right at the site and in such quantities that the workmen need not be delayed a single day in com pleting the structures.
 The tracks near the free bridge have been safeguarded against flood by the building of high levees along the Hver front, and it is said there is not; no danger of flood at any point on the belt line.-Argenta Note in Arkansas Democrat ------

HEAVY RAIN HERE.
 HELPS THE CROPS

For an hour last night drenching rain fell in this city and it is be- lieved that the rain was general throughout this section. The water came down in sheets and flooded the downtown streets. The crops in this county are in need of rain and if the shower of last night was general it will be of great benefit to the corn and cotton crops.

As he concluded with the magic name of the Nebraskan, flock of doves were set loose from the gallery and they went floating about the auditorium. A great picture of Bryan was let down from above the platform. Jim Dahlman seized a big American flag and leaping upon the desk of the presiding officer, began waving it frantically about. Scenes even wilder than those of We'd

DuN's WEEKLY REVIEW.

New York, Feb. Little change
appears in the commercial situation,
but progress is in the right direction
insofar as any difference can be dis
cerned. Recent gains are maintained
in almost every instance, and in a
few the furtherance of raging symp,
toms appear, notably the smaller de
oreases in railway earnings and the
larger forces at work in the leading
industries. Wholesale and jobbing
houses prepare for the future most
oonservatively Mercantile collec-
lions are irregular. On the whole the
iron and steel industry is in better
position than a week ago, although
new contracts are placed with much
caution, and each order is the object
Of extensive negotiations.
Aside from the moderate demand
for prompt shipment of novelties or
special constructions the primary
market for cotton goods is dull, staple
lines being almost wholly neglected.
All lines of woolens have been opened
without arousing much interest or
giving any definite impression regard
ing the trend of the market.
