Superintendent Easley Makes Good His Recent Order-Enginecr Boa. yee and Brakeman DetWiler Taken From Their Runs.

The first move on the part of the Rock Island officials to enforce the re- cent order of Division Superintendent F. J. Easley was made yesterday af- ternoon when Superintendent Easley discharged Engineer Lee Boavee and Brakeman Detwiler upon his finding them smoking cigarettes.
 Brakeman Detwiler was taken off his train as he was passing Little Rock, and discharged, while Engineer Boavee was called to the office and given his discharge
 What will be the outcome of the en- forcing of the order by the railroad company, the railroad men refuse to state, although they state that the grievance committee of the B. L. T. and B. of l.. D. will take the matter up and ask for the reinstatement of the discharged employees, but what ac- tion the railroad company will take in the premises is only matter of conjecture.

received from the Interstate Com merce Commission outlines of the an- nual reports that they are required to make np for the year ended June 3O fast. A few of the questions which the railroads are required to answer are as follows:
 Names of ten largest holders voting accn flies, whether ,hese are trustees aud for whom.
 Names of roads controlled, through sock ownership O.: otherwise, and coalitions of control Under what government is compa- ny organized.
 Names and mileage of all roads whose operations are included in in come account.

sued last Saturday by Superintendent Easley the employees were of.the opin- ion that it was only issued as warn- ing, with the hopes that the employees would stop the practice, but none of them thought that the company would endeavor to enforce it, but the act of yesterday of Superintendent Easley has brought the employees to realize if they want to hold their positions they must give up their cigarettes.
 The effect is very noticeable among the employees, and many of them who were constantly seen with a cigarette in their mouths have abandoned the habit of smoking altogether or have resorted to the pipe.
 One of the minor officials said this morning when asked in regard to the discharge of the two men: Well, it is just as l expected, for l knew the order meant just what it said, and that the employees found smoking ci- garcttes would be discharged. This is not a new experiment with the rail- road company, for the practice has been abolished for some years on the northern lines of this system, and while the men here think that it is an injustice on the part of the com- pany, in short time they will admit that it is for their own good"
 While the discharged men will in all probability be reinstated after time, it will serve as a good lesson to not only them but every man in the service of the company.
 While the grievance committee will take the matter up with the company, it is not thought that any serious con- plications will arise over the matter- Arkansas Democrat

 The country districts report num- Der af casualties.
 This afternoon a relief train of sev- eral cars left this city for Augusta Suffering is reported intense among the poorer classes, whose homes were swept away.
 The sudden drop of the temperature almost to the frost limit adds discom- fort to persons made homeless.
 This morning the water was turned on in the city mains and this relieved some distress. There was some fear queer at is may seem, of water fam inc in Augusta, but this has disap- peared

The workmen finished laying the new eight inch pipe on Barraque street yesterday and Chief Briner of the fire department tested the water pressure in front of the court house with ninety-pound pressure using an inch and a quarter nozzle, the water was thrown in heavy stream almost to the top of the court house tower and this could have been done easily with an inch nozzle or with increased pressure.

There will not be a DAY but that the

Crop prospects are good and not

The writer has had the opportunity,
within the past few days, to observe
the crops in a large section OF the
delta They are fairly free from
grass and appear toibe growing of
nicely. One fact specially worthy OF
note is that such large number OF
planters in that section, state they
have largely increased their acreage
in corn. Experience is sometimes a
hard SchoOlmaSter but it is a philoSe-
phical fact that the hardest substance
will Weld to persistency. hence it is
no surprise that MiSSisSippianS have
learned that it does not pay to make
c).ton to buy corn. From thu

gather, the outlook at the present fOI
a crop is most encouraging.
