 Burned By Peculiar Accident.

Willard Vaught of Nunley who was in town Thursday after noon, reported that his little S. year. old brother, Otis, met with a painful accident on Christmas day by the explosion of sack of powder, and that the face and hands of the little fellow were badly burned.
 At the time of the accident, which was most peculiar one, Mir. Vaught stated that be was sitting in chair smoking his pipe and short distance from him sat Clifford Sale, his cousin, who was reloading some empty shells from sack of powder held between his feet. Leaning upon his knee was little Otis, watch ing him at his work. Suddenly a puff of wind crossed the room and carried with 1t spark oi fire from the pipe of Mir. Vaught, which fell into the sack of pow der, causing the explosion and injury to the little boy.

WORK FOR QUICK ACTION
T. J. Clayton and Harry Ravenscraft Left Monday to Attend Annual
 Meeting of Hospital Board.

T. J. Clayton and Harry Ra- venscraft left Monday for Kansas City to attend the annual meeting of the board of directors of the Kansas City Southern Rail. way Employees Hospital Asso- ciation, to be convened there
 The chief purpose of this meet ing is the election of officers and the organization of the board for the coming yenr.
 MT. Clayton announced before leaving that both he and Mir. Ravenscraft would use their ut most efforts to have the different parts of the work on the hospital done under separate contracts, thus enabling one man or firm to bid or the foundation, another on the superstructure, another on finishing, painting, wiring. plumbing, etc.
 The purpose of this is, first, 10 give contractors in Mena a chance to bid on some of the work and give much more work to Mena labor than if a blarket contract be let to an outsider who might come here with hIs entire force and material aud thus leave but little moneyin Mena.
 Another feature is that by the former plan work can be begun more quickly than by the latter.
 The Star is in a position to know that the separate contract plan is favored by the architects, and Mr. Coug hlin, chairman of the board, and who really has the construction in his hands, in a re. cent conversation with a repre- sentative of The Star, expressed himself as entirely willing to adopt that plan for the ben, fit of Mena if 1t was found to be prae tical.
 Mir. Clayton and MT. Ravens craft expect to return to Meua Wednesday.

WILL PROBABLY
 CLOSE SALOONS
Prohibition Workers Circulating Peti- tions - Will Catch City Out of Funds and Force Discontinu- ance of Street Lights
 and Street Work.

Petitions have been quietly circulated for several days for signatures asking that the county court refuse to grant licenses for saloons within three miles of the public schools. Women of IS years or over and men over 21 have right under the law to have voice on this question.
 It is understood that the ma jority necessary to prevent the issuance of county licenses has been already secured.
 Alderman T. J. Clayton, in conversation with a representa-. tive of The Star, stated that he deemed 1t very unfortunate if t he saloons were closed at this time, as 1t would catch the city entirely out of funds, with no means to pay for street lighting or do street work of any kind, the only revenue coming in before the July tax collections being that from fines collected in police Court, which, it is said, will not nearly pay salaries of peace officers.
 The expenditures of the prese nt month are said to amonnt 10 a sun a little in excess of the total cash in the city treasury.

EQUALS PRESIDENTS SALARY.
Mir. Bryan at the Head of All Popular Speakers Draws Heavy Income.

| According to the report of his agents. William J. Bryan is m k- ing about $50 ,000 a year from his lectures. Charles L. Wagner, secretary of the Stayton Lyceum bureau, which manages his lecture tours, asserts that he has filled IFS dates for 1907 and that his receipts for the season have averaged more than $500 for each appearance. Mr. Bryan stands at the head of the list of platform speakers today for the size of his audiences, for the receipts at the box office and for the demands for his appearance.
 "Mr. Bryan's regular charge at Chautauquas," said MT. Wagner, lis the first $250 taken at the gate and half of all the receipts above $500, not including season tickets. He is the only man who can make such liberal contract. For evening lectures iu course his charge is S200 cash as a guarantee aud half of all the receipts at the door. He started out on January G last and spoke almost every day until Septem Der 10, frequently twice day. In addition to these he has made a large number of political speeches"
 Mir. Bryan's coming to Mena on January is independent of any Lyceum bureau, being a personally arranged visit, and no cash guarantee asked for the lecture he will deliver here at the Davis opera house on the night of January 4 MT. Bryan's propo- sitiou is simply to divide the gross receipts, he taking half and half going to the hospital site purchasing fund.
 The loyal admirers of this great man will certainly see that he is given a reception in our city equal to any.
 There will De more money pass into the window and more people at the door than has ever been known in the history of the Davis opera house..

NORWOOD HAS THEM
 BADLY ILLUSTRATED
Efforts Being Made by His Opponents to Have Him Withdraw-D Delegation Visits Senator Jeff Davis
 Norwood's Snappy Reply.

Sundays Gazette had a long article stating in effect that sew eral prominent politicians from the judicial districts ia which F. K. Andrews. candidate for Attor- ney General, resides, had visited Little Rock for the purpose of trying to induce Senator Jeff Da- wis to request Hal L. Norwood to withdraw from the race for Att torney General so that Adrews would have a chance to get the office. The Gaz.tte gave the name of one Clyde Going, one Patterson, and three or four others, as being members of the committee, all of whom the Ga zette stated had been Davis lieutenants in eastern Arkansas. In an interview with the Gazette one of the parties stated that their purpose in gong to Little Rock was, first, to get Davis to persuade Norwood to withdraw from the race; that if they could not do that, persuade him not to help Norwood; that they thought that Davis ought to agree to this as Andrews had gotten a friend of his to go and see Davis in Andrews behalf before An drews announced. The party also stated to the Gazette that they thought Davis would do very wrong if he took any inter- est in the Attorney Generals race. The party stated also that eastern Arkansas was solid for Clarke for the United States Sem ate.
 When seen by a representative of The Star this morning with reference to the Gazette's article Mir. Norwood was apparently en- toying the political situation. When asked for an expression re- garding the Gazette's article he gave out copy of telegram which he lad sent to the Gazette, which follows:
 Mena, Ark, Dec. 29, 1907. To Arkansas Gazette,
 Little Rock, Ark.
 I have just read article stating that some of Senator Davis Eastern Ark ansas lieutenants had tried to induce Davis to advise me to withdraw from the race for Attorney General. 1 did not ask MT. Davis permission to enter the race and nothing can put me out of it except plurality of the votes on March 25, and when the votes are counted Going, Patterson & Co. will learn that there is more of Eastern Arkansas than Andrews Judieal Dis trict. I submit my candidacy to all Democrats. regardless of locality.

K. (. 5. RAILROADS
 BUSINESS BOOMING
Southbound Freight Coming Faster Than Can Be Sent Out Much Grain Moving Heavy Addition to
 Motive Power Soon.

Reports from the yards of the Kansas City Southern at Mena indicate that the little lull in business of the past three or four weeks is near an end. It is said that freight shipments of the past few days have been so heavy that there was rot sufficient motive power to handle them promptly, and it is generally un- derstood that more business is offered than can be accepted.
 The present business is largely in grain products going to the gulf ports, though lumber is again moving north, though not so freely as a few weeks ago.
 IL is said that thirty new loco motives will soou be in use on the Kansas City Southern system, which will do much to relieve the pressure, and also give the shops a chance to overhaul and repair many of the engines that have been used until in serious need of attention.
 By far the greater number of men that were laid eff early in December are back at work, sspe- cially in the train service. It is thought the full force will be re.employed within few days of the first of the New Year.
