H. A. DAILY INTO
 BANKRUPTCY. DEMANDS OF CREDITORS FORC.
 ES ACTION. LIABILITIES ABOUT S3,7OO. MT. Daily's Was the Oldest Firm in Springdale.. ...Much Regret
 at His Misfortune.
LIABILITIES ABOUT S3,7OO.

II. A. Daily filed the necessary papers in Federal Court at Fort Smith last week entering into voluntary bankruptcy. Receiver ship Was waived and 4 meeting of the creditors will be held It Fayetteville March 1.
 The News k unable 10 print | list of creditors as filed with the court, but II IS understood the liabilities are about SS. 700. The heaviest creditors are said to be Wm. Foeht, who holds q claim for ol ,bo0; W Y. Farrar and C.. W. Jones, $500; WeiIand Book X Stationery Company, St Louis S16o. and numerous others for various amounts. It k thought that Mr. Daily $ stock of goods will invoice ill the neigborhood of oS, ,0eo.
 Just what will he done x te the disposition of the stock will Hot be known until after the meeting of the creditors next week. They will select d trustee and the stock will probably be sold to the highest bidder. Mir. Daily has been Ill Tor several days and unable to be at his place of business, but the busi- ness Is being looked after by Henry Green, an employe.
 Mr Daily has been engaged III the drug business in Springdale since 1879, and i'll length of time i'll business, is the oldest firm in the town His financial rcyerses have oeeasloned keen regret on the part of everyone who hope to yet see him come out on top. It is thought by some that fl he had been given further tune he could have eventually paid out and con- tinued business, but some of his creditors were crowding him and he pursued the only course open to him. There can be one thing said to the credit of Mir, Daily, and that is that his failure was an honest one, with no intent to defraud or deceive any of his creditors.

SPRINGDALE
 THE MECCA. ANOTHER lNTERURBAN WANTS TO COME HERE.
SPRlkGDALE IS WILLING.
Proposition is 10 Build East 10 Huntsville and West to
 Siloam Springs.
It never rains but II poufS.

It never rains but il pourS.
 Springdale people have for some time past been on tbe tip toe ot expectancy concerning the building of an intcfurbdH road which, 1t vas stated. would come to this town, and ue~ heft=tonits I proposition to build another road through here.
 Some few weeks ago C.1I4 Denny came to Springdalc and made proposition To the peo- pie here To build, operate and maintain III electric road be- tween this place and Huntsville fl the people along the proposed route would secure the rieht-of- way and donate o5o. .a0o to the promoters ot heeutefPrise AIf. Denny was given encouragement, and Was told by our people that, while we would assist iu building the line to Huntsville, ". would also like to have the fine eNlead- ed west to Sloan Springs, ar some point where connection could be had with tAe Kansas City Southern railroad. Ar Denny stated that he did not tHen have tile authority to make anY statement with reference to liHe west. as the people he was repre- senting had only considered the line east, but lie felt sure that arrangements could be made for extending the line west ii the people interested would be will ing to assist i'll the work.
 Mr. Denny again visited Springdale last week, and a meeting Was held at which tile proposition Was further discussed. He stated that he could assure the people that the road would be built from SpringdaIe= to Sl- loam Springs on the west, and to Huntsville on the east. provided q donation of S100, uno and the right of way could be secured. He was present II meeting at Siloam Springs last week, and the people oi that town are ready to take hold of the work and do their share towards getting the road. The following Siloam Springs gentlemen have been ap- pointed as committee to repre- sent that town and confer with committees from Springdale and other points so as to apportion and divide up the work; (. IIdf- rington, Fred Bartell. F ( M5- Culloch, w. T. stahl, NJ. Hal verson.
 At the meeting in Springdale Thursday night committees were present from Spring Valley and Sonora, and considerable money has already been subscribed by people in the vicinity of the former place. Huntsville people are also heartily in favor of the enterprise, and will do every thing possible to help 1t along.
 MT. Denny stated that the S100, 900 bonus need not necessar- fly al be cash, as the gentlemen who are proposing to build the road had agreed to accept labor, cross ties, or other material that could be used by them in build ing the line. This being the case 1t ought to be an easy mat ter to raise the required sum, as there are but few people in the different towns or in the country along the proposed line, who will not contribute something, either in work or material.
 Mir. Denny met with the busi- ness men of Fayetteville Wednes- day night of last week, and made them q proposition to build line from that place 10 connect with the interurban at Spring

KEEP THEM OUT OF HERE.

1t has been noticed that n number
of lawns in Grand Junction have
dandelions, the worst pests pretty
lawns have ever known, growing here
and there. The fact that several
towns and cities on the eastern slope
have to spend hundreds of dollars
annually TO keep these little lawn
killers from literally taking the town,
should be sufficient warming to all
Grand Junction property holders.
rms city has never been bothered to
nny extent by the dnndclion pest but
IL the dandeiion once gets n start
here, there will be the mischief to
pay. So If there is a single dandeIion
growing in your yard pull it out by
the roots ut once, don't let them
spread and thereby injure Grand
Junctton's reputation of being n city
with pretty lawns and dooryards.

NO ACCIDENT
PROBABLE NOW

For some days one of the heavy
boards that have served as a protec-
ton on one side of the bridge across
the Grand river at the foot of Fifth
street has been off and there has been
considerable danger of n bad acci-
dent on the bridge in case u horse
should become frightened while
crossing the bridge. The board be-
ing torn away in some manner had
left section of the bridge almost
wholly open to the river which is now
at n very high stage. With the board
away ii would be an easy manner for
a frightened horse to fall or Jump
overheard into the rushing water
below.
The dangerous condition of the
bridge has attracted much attention
but today it was announced that the
county commissioners had viewed the
bridge and decided to secure n lot of
very heavy and strong wire and this
will be woven along each side of the
bridge in such a manner as to make
il almost impossible for horse or
wagon to be in any danger of going
off the bridge into the river even in
case of bad runaway. Better pro-
lection on each side of the bridge has
long been needed and it is a matter
of satisfaction that the commissioners
have decided to make repairs.
