REFUSED PAPER ADMISSION.

The story is told of an editor who announced that he would leave all objectional matter out of the paper the following week An invitation was extended for his subscribers to come in and make suggestions about what they considered objectionable features. The first fellow to come in was a good deacon. He objected to the paper printing saloon ads. The next fellow who came in objected to the editor giving so much space each week to the church notices A mer- chant objected to the paper ac- cepting ads from his competitor. One person objected to the sport ing News, Press day arrived and after these and many other objections had been carefully noted by the editor he gave or ders to the foreman to go to press. The paper was issued that week in, blank form. and the edi- tor was congratulating himself that at last he had succeeded in publishing a paper with all of the objectional features eliminated ; but alas there was another ob- jector The postmaster refused to admit it to the mail as second clasS matter because it was not newspaper Fix.

TEXARKANA CLIPPINGS

Bird Dodd whose home is at Bright Star twenty-five miles south of here reported to the West Side police last night that his pocket had been picked by a party at the Kansas City South ern depot as he was in the act of boarding a train with his fam fly, the thief securing $1OO in cash.
 A negro jostled a white man on the street yesterday and when the latter remonstra ted with him about it the black gave the white man some impudent re- tort. A moment later the Afro-A- merican found himself lying in the gutter the result of a good one nthe jaw from the white mans good right hand. The Afro went and SWore out a warrant for "sturbin de peace" and the white man was arrested, When arraigned in police court, the de- fendant explained the whole af- fair as it had occurred, where upon Judge Smither prOmtply dismissed the charge and ordered the defendant released.
 Mrs. Chas w. Smoote and chil- dren who have been here for sev- eral months guests of Mrs. Smoote's parents, Judge and Mrs, w. J. Smither, left a few days ago to join the husband and father in their new home in An drews county. Texas, near the line of New Mexico. MT. Smoote pre-empted on two leagues-12SO acres-of land in Andrews county two years ago and has since been living on the same in compliance with the provisions of the law This land is expected to become very valuable within the next few years, and is now proving more and more desirable every day.

RIVER ATTACKS
 ANOTHER SECTION
Unknown COrpt' Begins BOmbard- ment Hoping to Send Current Be-
 low City,

Pine Bluff, Dec. B. Finding sthat the current of the swollen Arkansas river deflected by the dynamiting Wednesday night of the extreme southern end of Boyd's Point the tip of the penin- sula opposite Pine Bluff is gnaw- ing at new banks on which val uable property stands, the un. known men who did the dyna- hitting on Wednesday night are again at work on the point to- night, hoping to tear away en- oUgh to send the current below the city. Since 10 o'clock tonight there has been almost a cOntin- uous bOmbardment and the city has trembled under the cOncus- sion time and time again. Zeal is lent to the dynamiters by the fact that the dyke on the river reque streets, which stood firm until tonight had given away and the bank at that point is caving at an alarming rate. The big laundry plant of the American Excelsior Laundry is being stripped of machinery because the building is believed to be doomed, residences and stores on East Barraque street are being acated. the Avery and the pru- den stables are in imminent dan ger and the valuable property of the Cotton Belt railroad which includes shops, roundhouse and much truckage may soon be a center of the rivers attack.
 The hotel Jefferson is believed to be safe now, but it seems only matter of a few hours before. the annex of the court house slides into the river. It is on the very brink tonight.
 The river continues to rise The guage tonight registers 25.2 fe ct, with nearly a foot more wa ter due tomorrow morning. The crest of the flood will probably pass here Friday night.

FILE ARTICLES OF
 INCORPORATION
Arkansas Diamond Mining Company In.
 corporates With $I,00O,OOO Capital.

Little Rock, Dec B. Articles of incorporation of the Arkansas Diamond Company with an au- thorized capital stock of $1.OOO.- GOO were filed today in the office O fthe secretary of state. The in- cooperating and organizing of ficers of the company are Moor head Wright, president; John F.. Boyle Jr, vice president, and w. B. Smith secretary and treasurer.
 Upon Interviewing the officers of the company it was stated that the Arkansas Diamond Com pany had taken over the proper ty of the original owners of the diamond lands, the principal own CTS being sam w. Reyburn, c. $. stifft and A. D. Cohn and had paid them therefore in the common stock of the company that the company had recently secured the services of Mir. John T. Full Ter, consulting mining engineer who was manager of diamond mines of the DeBeers Company ;n South Africa for five years; that he had made a thorough eXamin- atiOn and exhaustive report upon the Pike County diamond lands that his report showed that teh diamond bearing rock found on the property of the company in Pike County is 'peridotite," and that occurs on the property in a "pipe" similar to it's occurrence in South Africa that the Arkan- sas peridotite resembles in ev- cry essential particular the dia- mond bearing peridotite of South Africa, and that the most essen tial commercial detail, the ac- tual finding of diamonds within it's mass, is fulfilled.
 That the finding of about $40 diamonds partly from the surface and partly from washing in a small but systematic way, was remarkable and exceeded any thing that was discovered in the African mines at corresponding period of their exploitation.
 That he had made detailed es- inmates of the amount required to complete the payments for the options obtained from former land owners, to erect necessary machinery and improvements for operating the mines, and to operate them for a period of six months, and upon this report and estimate the company proposes to place at once upon the market for sale at par S2OO,OOO of it's treasury stock the proceeds there ofto be used wholly for the com pletion of the payment for the lands the installation of machin- cry and the operation of the prop erty

.rEST PITS SHOW
 LARGER AREA
milling Will Prove that Tract Forms One Great Pipe Covering Entire
 Area of l60 Acres

Mnrfreesboro, Dec. 3-Mr k. n Duncan, president of the Ozark niamond Company, .n company Dith Engineer Woodford have h.en inspecting the development work now being actively carried on under the personal superin- teudence of MT. Charles Bemis. The test pits show a much lar
 nor area of diamond bearing rock
 than was reported. The width
 aorth and south is about 2,O0O ieet and the length even greater.
 It is considered probable that drilling will prove that the Mau- nov tract and Rileyu form one immense pipe, covering almost the entire area of the company's nroperty, 16O acres. If such be inc case this company will con trol the largest diamond mine vet discovered, the largest in Af- rica being only so acres in ex- tent. and as it also owns the dia- mond rights over SO,OOO acres of land in Pike County, on which lis possible other deposits may he found it forms the largest diamond mining enterprise in the world.
 Up to the present none of the hard peridotites, which cover the
 large area of the western portion of the Pike County mines has been uncovered on the, Ozark ground. All appearances suggest that this company has the larg- CT portion of decomposed rock. in fact the centre Of the pipe first discovered on the Huddleston tract.
 The Ozark has S2OO,OOO capital, of which S4O.OOO is being sold at par. It is the intention of the directors to immediately organize a large company with S1,500,OOO capital of which 5OO.- GOO shares will be treasury stock All subscribers to the parent company will receive 4 1-2 shares in the new company when ex- changed.
