The ball game Saturday between
the Cottonwood and Nezperce High
school teams played here resulted in
a score of 7 to 9 In favor of Cotton
wood. With the exception of the
FIRST inning the home team played
good ball and would have won the
game easily. for Cottonwood made
FIVE of their nine runs ia this inning.
The Cottonwood boys we're older and
heavier and played with better judge
ment on the start. Ralph Stellmon
pitched good game for the high
school after the 6rst inning and be
threw to the bases like an old player,
never making Wild throw to the
bases. The Cottonwood battery was
stronger on account of being sassSSss
older but we're wilder IN throwing to
bases than the Nezperce boys. Fan
ming made tvo good catches sn third.
With q little more practice and the
right sort of coaching the home
team win soon be able to put up
good game of ball for their class.
Had Billy McLennan arrived little
sooner With the Nezperce rooter the
boys would no doubt have won the
game.

hing. The Rock Island is the leader in the new union passenger station movement and besides this, they are going to erect fine new brick freight depot near the one they are at pres ent occupying. The cost of this building is to be s7ooo and the ad ditional other improvements in track akge to get into same will run up to several thousand dollars more.
 The Cotton Bet By. also will build a fine new prick freight depot on the vacant square opposite Scholem s store. The plans and specifications for this have already been prepared.
 The rumor is that the Arkansas Cotton Oil Co.,, instead of repairing the present old Brinkley mill, have about decided to put in a brand new brick mill, much larger and finer than the old one. and this means s5o,oOo to S6o,ooo of additional building.
 The reader. if he is in Brinkley. will be able to enumerate a full score of other big building and im- provement propositions, which are .sure things right now.

One of the most efficient helpers in the Cyclone Relief Association work ever since the terrible night of March, 9th, has been Mir. Hanford F. Donnel- ly, the real estate man. His pretty office was rendered the committee on the night of the cyclone for an EFner- ency Hospital and it was used for that two weeks.
 Mir. Donnelly gave his entire time, talent and strength to the relief work and it has counted for power ia the work.
 Mir Donnelly goes 10 Chicago and up in Wisconsin to look after and close up some real estate deals and will ther return to Brnkley and fall in the ranks of the NEw BRINKLEY building.

RAILROAD CHANGES.
The Arkansas Midland to Run Out of Helena into
 Rrinkley.

Beginning on Sunday next the Ark ansas Midland will run their trains on the Pine City branch out of Helena each day instead of out of Brinkley.
 Conductor Charley Smale and his crew will go in Saturday night and henceforth the train will run out of Helena in the morning, thro to Brink ley, reaching here about 9:35 o'clock, in time for all connections north, east south and west The train will ther run down to Pine City as a loca freight and come back to Brinkley, leaving here on the return to Helena after the evening trains arrive each afternoon.
 This will give the people living along the Midland splendid opportu- nifty for them to come here to do their trading and return the same afternoon to their home towns.
 This change was the result of an effort of the Brinkley Industrial League. who appointed a special committee to take the matter up with the railroad and arrange same.

Those False Charges.

The ta'e and groundless slander utte ed ty Representative Ard, Of Jackson county on the floor of the House of Representatives last week. in which he charged that the Brinkley Cyclone Relief Funds were being misappropriated. is not without its benefits.
 It caused the gentlemen in charge of the Rslief work to invite and ur- gently request, the starter of the sl9nderous charges, the State Legisla- lature, the Memphis Commercial-Ap peal, the Little Rock Board of Trade, and many others who have helped, to come to Brinkley and sift Ards dirty charges to the very bottom.
 The following from the Little Rock Democrat of Thursday, tells of the finding by the Little Rock Commit teeman. MT. J. B. Bateman, one of the foremost citizens of Little Rock The local Brinkley Relief Commit tee, has returned from that city, where he made an investigation of the man. ner in which the contributed funds had been disbursed. He reports that the distribution of funds has been thor ough and without a possibility of un- fairness. Strict account has been kept of every dollar disbursed and the facts bear out the disbursed commit tee in their judgement. MT. Bateman says the committee is composed of some of the best business men of Brinkley. and the reports that the funds have not been judiciousy ex- pended are unfounded and untrue. Mir. Bateman will call a meeting of the local committee soon 10 tender his official report.
 The Commercial Appeal sent their special representative here and on last Friday and Saturday. he made most searching examination. On Tuesday morning March 30th The Commercial Appeal in it's Editoral columns, under the head "Unfound charges against Brinkley.' gave the findings of their special representative.

He says that he knows his streak of bad luck Is at an end now.

Never before in the history of Brinkley was there such jam and crush on Bargain Day as was witness ed yesterday morning at the Big White Tent in which Henry Wolf & Co. opened their Cyclone Clearing Sale.
 People came from Monroe, Lee, St. Francis, Woodruff counties, and they came to buy. They did buy; and 50 eager were they Tor the big bargains in the damaged stock offered. that they actually jammed the big tent so that the doors had to be locked and others denied admittance until the jam was cleared out.

A Statement.
To the Executive Committee, Brinkley Cyclone Relief Assn,
 City.

 Gentlemen
 desire to say that 1t has been said by some one about town that 1 was responsible for Mir Ard making the statement that he did on the floor of the House in the Legislature. that had furnished him with statements which caused the thing tc come up. To this statement want to say to your committee there is not one word of truth in it. never met Mir. Ard but once in my life and that was some time last year and never had one word or line of communication with him or any other member of the Legislature about the relief work being done in Brink'ey
 As to MT. Ross. of Phillips county, who was here short time Monday evening on his way to Little Rock. the only reason he went over the town was to view the ruins and also with view to assisting Brinkiey in securing one of the four agricultural schools provided for by 3 recent act of the Legislature and not for the purpose of spieing out what the Relief Committee was doing
 am writing Mr. Ard letter and will ask him to state whether l am the one that has raised this. unneces- sary kick and rucus.
 hope your committee will soon be able to locate the originator Of the re- ports and know that when you do you will find that had no Knowledge of any thing of the kind.
 Signed.

The Commercial Appeal re- porter. the young man who was at Brinkley imhed,ately follow ing the cyclone. spent the greater part of last Friday and Saturday in that town and made a careful investigation.
 He was familiar with condi- tions. and this in Itself made his findings worth something.
 He saw no evidence of graft. He found that d careful record was being kept ofIall funds receiv- ed and disbursed
 Indeed the young man reports that the committee, in its desire for absolute corrSctness, is almost too scrupulously particular. But this is a pardonable fault. It does honor to tAe desire of the committee to apcount for every penny. Now and then it results in hardship to some individual, because an extraordinary case may demand an extraordinary action.
 It can be said. however, from the result of a caieful investigation that the funds contributed are not being squandered and the supplies are not being wasted. The committee has no desire to play favorites and no person is favored beyond his fellow.
 The reckless charges made by the member of the Arkansas legislature he found to be absolute ly without a fact to bolster them up.
 These are SOME of the MAN such reports by those clever friend who gave not only their means bu to our stricken people. an gho have investigated the bas charges oi the sIander by the ma ARD who so far as we are able 10 fin ,ut, HAS GIVEN ABSOLUTEL' NOTHING, but on the contrary. ha y his dirty and unfounded fals charges, caused some of the assist Ince that would have been given, [ cease.
 It is hardly necessary to speak fur her of the man Ard. His method md his actions tell of the man.
