 Local Doctors Give Services. l Dr. A. c. Jordan, of this city, yes , terday received a request from j. Brinkley asking him to come to that city and bring as many doctors and nurses as he could induce to accom- : pany him. The request was made by the physician in charge of the ten1- porary hospitals there, who stated that the services of more physicians and nurses were badly needed. Ow- ing to the critical illness of one of his patients Dr. Jordan was unable to leave the city yesterday, but will Iprobably be in position to so to IDrinkley this morning. Doctors c. E. Carruthers, B. H. Gallagher and $. Jenkins offered their services, how ever, and left on the noon train for lBrinkley and care for the injured un- til the situation improves. If there . are any nurses in Pine Bluff who de- sire to go to Brinkley they should communicate with Dr. Jordan. One Monument in Cemetery.

 the partially destroyed hotel build Iings yesterday the apparently lifeless r body of a negro, who had been in the
 ruins since the cyclone, was taken ont. The man was not dead, but un- Iconscious. He was hurriedly carried

 "The hundred state convicts were at work on the ruins of the fire depart ment building when we lett, sald f Dr, Buckntr, "and it was stated that there was no doubt about bodies be- , ing underneath them. The odor from l the wreckage in various parts Of the : city is what prompts the resculns
