IRON MOUNTAIN
 MOVING POTATOES
From Ten to Twenty Potato Trains Pass Through
 Every Day.

Little Rock, May 8.-Potatoes are moving through Little Rock from Texas now as though the Lone Star State raised nothing but the Irish beefsteak. The Iron Mountain railroad has been pretty nearly swamped in the potato trade during the past week, and from ten to twenty potato trains pass the city daily. These trains have a better schedule than the passenger trains, and if anything has to side track. it is the pas senger train, for the potatoes must be rushed on to market. There was wreck on the Moun- tain Saturday night, and passen- gers who came in from the north yesterday report potatoes scat tered along the right of way of the railroad for many miles.

FUNERAL OF
 MALT. W. PILLAR
Held Yesterday Afternoon. Was the Wealthiest
 Man in the State.

Little Rock, May 8. Probably the largest funeral ever held in
 Little Rock, was that of Major J. T. w. Filler yesterday after noon. The services were held in the First Methodist Church, South, and the procession reach ed almost to Oaklond Cemetery, where the interment was made. Ma1or Filler was the wealthiest man in Arkansas and also one of the poineer citizens of Little Rock. Unlike the general run of monied men. he was very socia- ble and this caused him to have t ousands of friends over the city and throughout the State. The floral offerings were so pro- fuse the entire lot was covered to a depth of several feet. Some of the designs were so large they had to be conveyed to the Gene tery in seperate wagons. Major Filler left no will, so far as any of his friends know, being advis- ed to make a will only a short time before his death, but refus- ing to do so. This will require the appointment of an adminis- trator to attend to the estate.

CONFEDERATE VETS
 EN ROUTE
To Birmingham. Throng Little Rock This
 Morning.

Little Rock, May 8.-Gray bearded and haired, with fal- tering step, but wearing the be- loved gray of the Confectionery. with as much bouancy of heart as though the days of 61 were again in the land, hundreds of Confederate Veterans have been arriving in Little Rock during the day to join the Little Rock Veterans and leave this after noon on special train for Bir- mingham, where they will at tend the annual reunion. James K. Berry, commander of the Ar kansas forces, will arrive in time to join the other old sol- diers on the special train. He comes from his home in Benton vile and will be accompanied by the veterans from northwest Arkansas. Miss Emma McAn- drews, of Bentonville, sponsor for Arkansas, will be with this party, as will Miss Agnes Win chester first Maid of Honor, of Fort Smith. The special train will leave Little Rock in the evening over the Rock Island, picking up old soldiers all the way to Memphis, but taking on no more passengers after it reaches that city. It is estimat- ed that about 1900 will make the trip this year, many of the vet erans realizing it is their last chance to meet old comrades, and for that reason they have strained every effort to go.
