Hone to Effect a Compromise.

There will be lull in the agitation
for lower freight rates until the rail
roads and the shippers of Little Rock
confer with each other on october 8
and Z. On these days, representatives
from the Iron Mountain, the Rock
Island and the Cotton Belt will dis
cuss the reasonableness Of the % per
cent advance in rates, with the EXecu-
tive Committee of the Merchants
Freight Bureau. The shippers, who
are willing to give in somewhat, be-
lieve that compromise will be effect
ed.
Arbitration worked in Memphis, and
Manager Bragg believes that it Will
in Little Rock. At all events, all legal
action against the roads will be dropped
until the results of the conference are
shown. AS one of the most prominent
shippers said: eve are going to do
everything to allow the railroads to
come to terms. We dislike rousing
enmity between the two sides through
a legal fight, when all differences may
be adjusted amicably, in conference.

a Limited Dollar Wage.

Cotton pickers are receiving 81 per
100 pounds in the vicinity of England,
Lonoke county, according to Postmas'
ter Schooley of that place, but it is
only in the lowlands northeast Of Eng
land, where it is necessary to gather
the crop at once lest heavy rains
should come and inundate the fields.
The cotton, too, Mr Schooley says,
is of rather poor grade and a picker
cannot gather as many pounds as in
a frst-class crop.
The teppting price is having its
effect on the negroes, and the other
plantation owners Of that district find
it necessary to raise their price in
order to secure help. AS high as 50
cents is being offered on plantations
where the growth is heavy and easy
to pick but in all other portions OF
the county and in Pulaski, 90 cents
remains the ruling rate.

Rice Airship Refused to Fly.

Rice Airship Refused to Fly.
The theory of a large gas balloon
encased fXedIy to the mechanism OF
the airship it is TO float received an
other disappointing setback at Hot
Springs Sunday afternoon when the
Joe Rice airship endeavored to make
its initial flight.
Rice had undertaken to construct
his airship along more extended lines
than ever attempted before. The
fragile framework extended from nose
to nose of the great balloon that was
to lift it, and was connected further
to the bag by a circle of aluminium
betting which encased the bag along
a parallel with its widest points.
Under the framework of the bag was
wholly encased and firmly fixed to
the airship mechanism When Prof
Carl Meyer of New York first eX-
amined the affair he shook his head
in doubt. But it was the Rice theory,
and he permitted the inventor to pro
ceed without the Encouragement Of
his doubts.
1T is a problem yet unsolyed, to
make a moving, squirming gas balloon,
and a fragile bit of framework CO.
operate in unison" was all Prot
Myer said Sunday the first flight
was to have been attempted, with
ovorvtbipp in raodinaSg tho ballast
bags were carefully taken away one
by one, while men stood about the
framework carefully watching the eff
fects when the mechanism became
dependent on the gas bag.
With Rice as the pilot, and the en-
gine well in motion, the balloon was
taken charge cE by several men, and
slowly allowed to rise about six feet
The result was disappointing The
framework constructed of steel tubing
was pulled hard at one place, while it
was loose at Other points, as the bag
swerved but slightly, and was wa,ped
so badly that further effort at flight
was impossible. 1t was hauled down,
dismantled of every foot of unneCes-
sary tubing, the circular belt removed,
and when the next attempt at flight
is made it will be with the steering
mechanism of the inventors ship

by the lax soft cotton rope used as

HEIR TO FORTUNE
GOES TO PRISON
.. .......' FOR LIFE

TACOMA, Oct. 29.--Word has
just been received here that Arthur
McArdle. the young man recently
sentenced by Judge Smell to the
state penitentiary for life under
the habitual criminal act, is one OF
the heads, through his father, of a
$4,000, 900 estate in England.
The elder McArdle, who lives at
Fern Hill, near Tacoma, is a grand
nephew of Andrew McArdle, a not
ed shipowner and trader of Liver
pool, who died years ago childless.
For years the settlement of his es-
tate has been going forward, and
MIR. McArdle has just received
word that he will, in due time, re-
ceive his share, which will proba-
bly, amount to s1,000,000. The Nc
Ardles here are the only ones in
the northwest. Other heirs reside
in Ireland and the eastern states.
The Tacoma McArdles forwarded
the proofs of their relationship,
which have been verified by the at
torneys in London settling the es-
tate. By an irony of fate the an
nouncement comes almost stimuli
taneously with the shipping of
young McArdle to Walla Walla,
where his life sentence begins.
