WILL REBUILD
IN ARKADELPHIA
The Arkadeldhia Milling Co.
Will Rebuild the Roller
Mills as Quickly as
Possible.

At a directors meeting, OF the
Arkadelphia Milling Co., Monday
morning, it was decided that the
Roller Mills would be rebuilt as
quickly as possible. 1t was also
definitely settled that the new
mill is to be a brick, fire proof
building, and that it will be two
and one-half times larger than
the plant that was burned.
Nothing but the latest and most
improved machinery will be in
stalled, and when completed. it
will be by far the finest flour
mill in the state, and equal to
any in the South. Several mill
wrights, representing the manu-
factories of mill machinery were
here Yesterday submitting plans
for the new mill.
This is certainly cheering news
for our people, as this mill has
ever been the pride of our little
city, and the possibility of losing
twas a sore subject to them,
and we hope that there will be
unanimous rejoicing over the
fact that the mill is to be rebuilt.
Now, the thing for our people to
do is to join hands in boosting
the mill and its product and
make it the biggest thing in the
eonntry. -Siftings Herald.

Old Joe FuQaie.

The Cimarron Jacksonian tells
about an interesting Kansas newspa-
perman whom the writer knew well
years ago at Newton, where Fugate
owned weekly newspaper and this
writer'was helping run daily. Fu-
CUTE is a fine man, of the old school
: and the little gossip about him and
his western Kansas experience may
interest some. The Jacksonian says:

conversation with him. Mr.. Fugate

along with the western Kansas boom

one at Cimarron, one at Kalvesta,
one at Lakin, one at Hartland, etc.
He also had a paper at Newton. AT
Newton he had working for him Ellis

Is years of age. he seat him out to
Hartland about that time to work on
the paper there. One day Fills Garten
started for bis home at Newton to
visit his parents, who were living
there, ard as the train stopped at
Cimarron for short time, he stopped
off for a few minutes to look at the
Jacksonian print shop. He seemed
to like the looks Of things and when
he came to Dodge City, Mr.. Fugate
sent him back here to get the paper
out, a good man being required to
take charge. He did so well that
Mr.. Fugate took him into partnership,
selling him half interest in the
Jacksonian. In a sholt time be
bought Mr.. Fugate's interest,", and
took full charge, and continued to
run the Jacksouian, except for a short
period Of time, until his death in De-

back quarter of a century and is Of
especial interest to the old settlers

NO PLACE FOR BRYAN.
Davis of Arkansas Says the Senate Is
Too Small for Him.

Washington, June 26.-In the SEN
ate today Senator Davis of Arkansas
speaking in opposition to the pending
tariff bill found general fault with the
measure.
Contending that the Republican
party had failed to keep its promise to
lower the tariff, he said if that party
had possessed the manhood to state
boldly that it intended to increase the
tariff, the places that know them to-
day would have known them no
longer forever, and they would have
been hiss and a byword in the land,
their destruction inevitable.
He continued: stThey are turning
their faces in hopefulness and glad
acclaim to the great middle west,
where a small cloud has arisen. which
is gathering in strength and volume,
led on by the insurgent Republican
forces in this body. that assures the
downfall and destruction of the bour-
bon element"
Declaring that the tariff bill is
virtually the product of Senator Aid
rich and asserting that Mr.. Aldrich
had been elected to the senate by a
legislature chosen by II per cent of
the votes of the small state of Rhode
Island, Mr.. Davis contended that the
senatorial supporters of the bill had
shown great subserviency to Mr.. AID
rich
Indirectly, Mr.. Davis criticised
Democrats who had declared their
lack of allegiance to the Democratic
platform, which, he said, he was will
ling to swallow from kfver to kiver.''
Mr.. Davis defended Mr.. Bryan as
the reputed author of the Democratic
platform. Even though Mr.. Bryan
might not be president, Mr.. Davis ex-
pressed the hope that he would ''nev-
er circumscribe the field Of his use
fulness, the field of his eternal great
ness. by accepting seat in the senate
of the United States.
