Through the medium Of .he worth

from the city.

Mrs. Fiske and her four small chill

for Louisville, where she will make
her home with members of Ffskes

O. f. Leonard, contractor of Bra
iii, Ind, who was negotiating with
Fiske to build the Little Rock and Pine
Bluff interurban, went 10 Chicago
when Fiske was in jail there, to make
some inquiries about the promoter.
He found that Fiske had gained his
liberty, and in letter to the Little
Rock attorney, states that Ei,>5. and S.
e. Coon are one and the same man.
Chicago parties told the contractor
that Fiske and his father were form
erly brokers, purporting to represent
Eastern bankers. That they would ac-
cept fees from citizens with the prom
Use of securing them financial backing
for various enterprises. The fnan-
cial backing, however, invariably fail
ed to materialize, while the brokers
lived prosperously upon the fees they
gathered.
Fiske was charged in Chicago with
having passed worthless check upon
Banker BradN for $3.50,
After his arrest there, following his
fight from Little Rock to evade a war
rant issued, Fiske endeavored to re-
turn to Little Rock voluntarily il he
could get out of the Chicago predica-
ment. No aid was given him, and it
is believed that he would get a SEN
tence in the Chicago courts.
But, like love, Fiske also lauSds at
the locksmiths, and is now enjoying
freedom once again.

Des Arc Items.

We are having a little winter.
This beautiful Sunday, while
the young are having their pleas
ure, there is one sad home in our
community. VIM. Smith, son of
John Smith, died Saturday at 8
o'clock. He had been sick about
three weeks with that dreadful
disease, typhoid pneumonia. Drs.
Jones and Toney did all they could
for him. He held out SO long that
we thought he would recover. But,
alas! it was the Masters will that
he should go. One consolation:
he was ready for the call. Inter-
ment occurred Sunday at Kings
graveyard. He leaves a young
widow, father, mother, two broth
ers, and three sisters to- mourn his
loss.
The marriage of Miss Mabel
Schmidt, daughter OF Judge L. L.
Schmidt, to Mr.. AL Wallis, of Des
Arc, took place at their home in
the country Sunday, Rev. Strother
officiating. We wish them much
happiness.

these mines. ISAAC.

and the spot wherein stood the
family mansion was shown me. 1t
commands a view for miles up and
down the Mississippi river, and it
is said on a clear day the city of
Alton, Illinois, % miles away, is
discernible with a good feld-glass.
1t is an ideal location, and it is not
hard to conceive of the love and
pride in which the estate was held
by its owner. May his soul rest in
peace and his memory be hallow-
ed by the benehciaries of his gift
for all time to come! My return
to Ironton was made Sunday aft
ernoon, along with several friends
and acquaintance, as we'll as a
complement of strangers. The
faces of some of them shone with
jubilation and self satisfaction,
while the brows of Others were
seemingly wrinkled with weight of
car and disappointment. Their
political distinguishment needed
no label. At Riverside Mr.. Aug.
T~rauernicht, agent at that place,
added himself to our number. His
better-half had gone to Bismarck
to spend tho Sunday, and August,
learning that No. s was several
hours behind time, determined to
run down to. the Junction Town,
talk with the home-folk an hour or
so, maybe get a bite to eat, and
then return with the wife to De So
to, where they are domiciled. Aft
or passing De Soto Mr.. T. learned
that Nos was making up time and
it bothered him. Surprising that
train beat Us to Bismarck? Mrs.
August would be speeding home
ward while her liege lord and las
ter(I call him SO jocularly, ladiesD
would be stranded for the night at
Bismarck! And the keys to the
household in his pocket! I tried
to cheer him, and think | succeed
edin some degree, with the fact,
that according to my long and va
ried experience, trains rarely made
up lost time, but, on the contrary,
almost uniformly added to their
tagging hours ere their curse was
run. In this instance his anxiety
as are most of our worries by
anticipation was without due
warrant. Our train side-tracked
at Middlebrook for No. s, and my
young friend had almost an hour
with the old folks before the sig
nal sounded for him to take his
way with the wife northward and
homeward. | feel that my trip, to
be almost without incident, is ov-
er-honored in this long-drawnout
account of trivialities. But the
reader will please remember that
to a "punkin roller" as we of the
country are sometimes defined and
designated, a journey to the city
is no small affair.
P. S.-A substantial reward to
the genius who shall invent a sys-
tenn that will relegate to the past,
grips, s~uit-cases and other way
faring dmpedimenta.
