SMALLPOX AT EAGLETON
Dr. Lee Visits the Place at Request of Judge Prickett No Danger
 of Disease Spreading.

Last Tuesday an alarm was turned in" to Judge prickett in regard to smallpox suspects near Eagleton. The judge ifnmedi- ately ordered Dr. Lee to the scene for the purpose of Investigating the situation, and the doctor left at once to look after the matter. He found one very typi- cally developed case in the family of A. J. Mcbride about a mile and a half north of Eagletou.
 1t seems that the trouble has been prevalent in the neig hbor- hood up there for some little time, but those who have had 1t did not appear to realize what was the matter, A quarantine was placed around the Mcbride family. and everything Is in good condition, and hopes of its early aud com plete annihilation is almost as- sured.
 There is no danger whatever of the spread of the disease now unless through some unforeseen carelessuess on the part of those who might visit the Mcbride family unaware of the signals.

DOCTORS TO BANQUET
Medical Men Will Meet Around Board at the Davis Opera House Saturday
 Night-Te Get Together.

On next Saturday evening the doctors of the city will give a banquet at the Davis opera house to the entire medical profession of the connty. A general good tune Is anticipated, as there is already a very elaborate program arranged by the County Medical Society. Many interesting papers will be prepared and read at this meeting, and it is the hope of the society that every doctor will have something of interest to present.
 This is going to be Good meeting of all the doctors" and it is the wish of the entire society that every one in the county be present, Tie time has certainly come when those little petty jeal ousies that have so long been ex- tant among the doctors of this city should be eliminated, if we, as a professional class of the pret. tiest city ip Arkansas wonld keep pace with the other magnificent developments of our far home town.
 Our business men are organiz- lug, and consulting with each other about the best and most profitable methods that will re- bound to their individual and col lective successes, so why not the doctors of Mena now banish for ever the antagotiistic spirit Which they have so long cherished to- ward each other, and get down to talking with each other about sick folks and the way to find out what is the matter with the pa tient, and the most expedient and quickest way to cure those who consult them.
 So here's the chance now of getting busy. By order of the president of the society, invite every doctor in the city and in the county to be present, and in the name of all the society, I extend hearty invitation to the laity.
 Respectfully,
 F. A. Lee,
 Sec. Polk Go. Med. So.

 ON K. (. 5. ROAD
Men Being Re Employed and Equip ment Being Put Back Into Service Engines to Repair Shops,
 It Is Said.

Notwithstanding the retrench. ment move made by the Kansas City Southern about week ago for the purpose of cutting down expenses, reliable reports are to the effect that business over the line has picked up at such rapid rate in the past few days that it has become necessary to put back in service several runs which had been discontinued.
 Owing to thls big increase in business over the road Brakemen Armstrong, Wright and William son entered the service Tuesday on Third district, making seven men re-employed since Saturday.
 Caboose 554, which was pulled of on account of the retrench- ment move, has been placed back Tn service in charge of conductor William Weir.
 Engine 527, which has been tied up in Mena for some time on account of not being needed, has again been placed in service. It has been staled that many eu. g ines have been ordered into re. pair shops to be gotten ready for active service.
 This announcement of the ln- crease of business on the Kansas City Southern is good for all, for 1t means more work for the rail- road boys and greater prosperity for Meha.

 suited in 168 Indictments.
