tXANT GAS PIPE
 < LINE TO ST. LOUIS
New York and New Orleans Capitalists Want to Invest Money in Caddo Field-Head Officials in Shreve. port-It is Said That Capitalists Have Ten Mil
 < lions of Dollars to Invest in Project-What the Shreveport Journal Says.

The following from the Shreve- port, La, Journal will be read with interest by Pine Bluf1ians in view of the fact that the City Council is to be asked for franchise Monday night. giving certain parties the right to pipe the city and operate nat nral gas plant here:
 Receipt of messages that New o. leans and New York capitalists have Hundreds of thousands, yes, and even millions of dollars to invest in Caddo dirt. the arrival in Shreveport of J w. Maxwell of Houston, president Of the Texas company and James L. Autrey of Houston, the company $ chief counsel, and reports of secrecy concerning a we'll supposed to have been recently found near Mooring- sport-these developments have set the old oil and gas men on fire, hguratiyely speaking, and some in- terestingly big deals are looked for soon
 88 One of the rumors circulated today is that wealthy men are back of a plan to build pipe line from here to St. louis and furnish that place with natural gas at price similar ,ns1Q that promised the people of New paeans by the Busch-Everett Com )k;f ", to whom franchise was re ,as-Hly granted. The Identity of the capitalists considered in connection with the St. Louis pipe line rumor has not been given the public, but New Workers. are believed to be in the group.
 One report circulated about the fteld tn 5 morning, and by some con- nected with the St. Louis rumor, is that New York capitalists have in formed local firm that they have as much as $10,000,0o0 to invest in the Caddo field. Though this was not af- trmed by the firm referred to, one Of the members admitted that New sYorkers are closely interested and that tbey know more about the tran s&ctions here in the Caddo field than 10 most of the local operators them Sselves. The same man said that New IsOrleans capital is becoming greatly rpfssrested also. It is reported that slMeile of money from the Crescent CsIy is apt to be poured into the field at an early date, the talk ere 'ated by the pipe line proposition hay inB served to interest the capitalists there.
 That a line would be run to St. Louis has been believed by some of the local men for long time. The .reports affoat now indicate that some step Is likely to be taken along this line There are those who are con- hdent that one or two. companies. or Independents. at work getting the control of property here are repre- sentatives of the Standard Oil Com pany, and that before long the an- nouncement will be made that 1t is the Standard. Oil which Is prepared to operate extensively, building pipe lines, refneries and other tftugs.

AL,NcoLN EPISODE THAT TOUCH.
ED VAN BUREN, COUNTY.

(From the Keosauqua Republican,
Van Buren, county is given to boast
ing, and for good reason, of the great
men who have lived within It's con-
fines. The greatest man this country
has produced-Abraham Lincoln, who
was honored this week all over the ma
ton and whose birthday, Feb. IL, has
been made a legal holiday In this
state, never saw Van Buren, county
However, Van Buren, county is con-
nected with a touching episode of
Lincoln's life. 1t Is perhaps generally
known that Lincoln was engaged to
be married to Miss Ann Rutledge Of
Salem, Ill, where young Lincoln lived.
and that she died In less than half
year after the engagement. She was
the idol of his life and he loved her
with the whole love of his great
heart. Her death was a terrible
shock to him, and it is said that his
neighbors at the time were much con-
cerned lest his mourning for her might
destroy his reason. His friends, who
knew him before and after this heart
rending bereavement, have said that
the melancholy that marked Lincoln
in after years and the fits of abstrac-
ton and observation-disclosures that never
entirely ceased, all took their rise In
the lamentations over Ann REdedge,

LARGE AUDIENCE
HEARS ROBERTS
"LIouoR TRAFFIC QUESTION CAN
NOT BE COMPROMISED" SAYS
THE JUDGE.

Drawing from his experience as a
jurist for illustrations, Judge M. A.
Roberts spoke yesterday afternoon to
large audience of men in the Y. NJ.
G. A. auditorium on the subject, "The
Peoples Duty to Our City" The meet
ing was conducted by the Christian
Travelling Mems association of Gid
cons. G. G. Thomas introduced Judge
Roberts. S. G. Cushing led the Bible
lesson The male chorus, under the d.
rection Of Ed Weeks, rendered several
selections.
Mr.. Roberts began his talk by tell
ing Of number Of contests that have
occurred since the beginning Of the
world, using the old Testament Of the
Bible as his authority. In a very inter-
esting and graphic manner he led up
to the main point of his address,
which was the determination of the
liquor traffic in Ottumwa.
Mr.. Roberts said:
although | am always criticisins
cline and wrongdoing, I am great
deal Of an optimist, for the world is
steadily growing better every day
/ Not long ago women were whipped at
the post and negroes were slaves in
this country, but these are things OF
the past Not many years ago the
Louisiana lottery had a strong hold on
the people of the United States, but
that also, has been typed out, although
the people at that time said that is
was impossible.
when a robber meets you on the
highway when you are unarmed and
points a revolver at you, you com
promise with him and make the best
of affairs In that case a compromise
may be all right, but when man is
not compelled to do otherwise, it is
his duty to stand up for the right. Clay
and Webster, great men of theil
day, tried to compromise the SLAYER!
question, but the question could mo-
be compromised. Therefore the slave:
are free.
eve have now come to great cues
ton which cannot be compromised
and that is in the form OF the liquo'
traffic. 1t will only be through the ex
termination of this vice that the coun
trv can be benefited and the crime
and poverty caused by it can be pre-
vented"

1t Is this Rutledge incident of 1885
which finally touched Van Buren,
country, for in 1889. AIMS mother,
the widow Mary Rutledge-- for her
husband, James Rutledge, died a few
months after the death of his daugh-
ter Ann-moved to Van Buren, county
with her son, Robert B. Rutledge,
locating near Birmingham. Lincoln
never forget this first love and when
president he is reported to have said
on one occasion, IL love the very
name of Rutledge" That the family
was not forgotten by him is manifest
in the fact that he appointed Robert

1859 and he and wife-who was a Miss
Jenkins-moved to Keosauqua. He
was reelected in 1861, but resigned
before his time was out in order to
accept the appointment of provost
marshal, and John T. Stuart was ap

After the close of the war Bob" Rut

engaged in the hotel business. Later
he moved to Harrison county, in this
state, where he died His mothers

the army and got as far as Burling

PNEUMONIA is
CAUSE OF DEATHS
THREE FAMILIES ARE MADE SAD
BY VISIT OF THE GRIM
REAPER.
TWO ARE YOUNG GIRLS
Harriet Mildred Tisdale, Ellen
johnson and Edwin e. Shepherd
Died This Morn

Three homes were made sad by
the visitation Of the grim reaper
when the dark pail of death set
tied over and took therefrom
daughter in two of the homes and
a son in the third. None of the
victims of the sad messenger had
bloomed to the fullness of youth
and they ranged from two years to
Is years of age. AS the beau
tiful rosebud wilted and killed by
the sudden frost, two of those re-
corded among the dead of today
may be compared. In the happi-
ness of youth such as is felt at
fifteen or sixteen years of age,
when all is sunshine and the
thoughts Of the serious side of
life. are still a mystery unfathom-
ed, a path untrod, were Harriet
Mildred Tisdale and Ellen Eliza
beth Johnson, both of whom re-
sponded to the call of the angel
of death this morning.
