Severe Storm at Fort Smith.

In terrific rain and thunder storm
which swept over Fort Smith Thurs
day afternoon one woman was killed
and a number of residences were dam
aged by lightning. The victim is Mrs.
Isabella Baxter of S street, aged 81
years. She was at work in her kitch-
en- and bolt of lightning struck the
house and killed her instantly.
The downpour assumed the proper
lions of a cloudburst and for a time
a tornado was feared, as dangerous
looking clouds gathered in the sky
and the wind blew at a terrific rate.
Within an hour the rainfall reached
1.76 inches, which is the average rain
fall for the entire month there. After
an hour the storm ceased and it was
found that wires had been put out OF
commission and streets and stores
inundated Several business houses
on Fifth street were completely flood
ed.
In speaking of the storm, Weather
Observer Guthrie said:

Cotton Crop Reports.

Memphis.-The following is the
Commercial Appeals weekly cotton
crop summary:
The cotton crop made excellent
progress last week. Reports are more
uniform than for several weeks show
ing that conditions were generally ia
vorable. The only exceptions noted
are the localities where no rain fell
and the sections of Louisiana where
the weevils are active.
The rainfall during the week was
moderate and beneficial. 1t covered
the entire belt with the exception of
the Atlantic coast states. In the Mis-
sissippi valley states and Alabama
the planters are enthusiastic. Not in
recent years has the prospect at this
time been so flattering, A large move
ment of new cotton is expected in Tex

Sunday Pool Now Under the Lid.

For the first time in many months
the pedestrians along the business
streets of Fort Smith were not greet
ed by the clicking of the worries, the
discordant humping of the cues on
the floor or the confused mumbling
of voices issuing from the Sunday
poolhall. The lid has been placed on
the city by the municipal and state
authorities and few nails driven and
clinched to hold it down.
The closing of the pool halls on Sun
day is the result of long and bitter
fight which has been waged for many
weeks past. The matter was brought
to head by the recent Grand Jury,
which severely censured Police Judge
Freer. Previous to that the poolroom
Monday morning by proxy and paid
a fine of S. each. The Grand Jury
urged the police magistrate to increase
the fine to the maximum, but this he
refused to do, although the fine was
made $40. In the meantime, the state
prosecuted each week, but failed to
secure a conviction before juries.
The action of Judge Freer in refus-
ing to put stop to Sunday pool arous-
ed such storm of indignation that
talk of impeachment was becoming
common. So stormy was public senti
ment, that during the past week con-
victions were secured against Sunday
poolroom men and the maximum fines
imposed, although Al cases had been
tried previously Sunday the rooms
were closed for the first time and on
one large sign reading Keep Out"
was in evidence.

Death Gets a Life on Toss of Coin

dime sent John w. OBrien, Shakes
pearian student, mining expert and
globe trotter to a suicides death Sat
urday night in an apartment house on
Grand avenue. O'Brien was we'll

should kill himself Among his pos
sessions was found volume of Shakes
peares works, besides numerous note
books and newspaper clippings con-
corning the writings of the English
author. Many passages were mraked.
The letters which limited at the sui
eide pact, were from G. w Langford,
an official of the Philippine fishing
company in Yamboango, Philippine is
lands In one of these, dated March
%, 1908, Langford advised O'Brien
against getting married, saying that
such "entanglements would bring
grief and sorrow to dear ones when
the time came for them to fulfill their
pledge to each other, unless fortune
soon smiled upon them" Many let
tiers in the same vein were found.
