WILL OPEN UP A
MODERN RESTAURANT
Loss in Tuesdays Fire Only
Partially Covered.
Refrigerators were Well Stocked to
Accommodate the Crowds at
the Circus.

Abel and Conrod, proprietors Of
the Palm cafe which was destroyed
by fire TUESDAY afternoon, informed a
Mirror reporter Wednesday morning
that they will reopen their restaur-
ant and billiard parlor as soon as
they can put the room in condition.
The insurance adjusters have not
visited the ocene of the fire but will
probably arrive here about Thursday
Nelson Abel stated Wednesday that
the damage caused by the fire will
aggregate between six and ten thou
sand dollars. He declared that it
was insured for scarcely one-half OF
its full value and remarked that the
firm would lose in the neighborhood
of $4,000
Mr.. Abel states that no definite de-
cision has been reached as to The ar
rangement of the new restaurant.
New fixtures will be installed and it
Is the intention now, to equip the
room with the latest restaurant fix
lures.
One of the most unfortunate fea-
lures of the fire was the fact that the
restaurant chef had filled the ice
box and cold storage room with choice
meats, vegetables and select dellcacies,
preliminary TO mammoth business
which they expected to do the after
noon and night of circus day. Over two
hundred dollars worth of produce
which was not insured for a single
dollar, was destroyed because OF the
fact that the fire occurred on circus
day.
After the fire had been practically
oxtlnguished Tuesday afternoon the
fremen were cropping about the base
ment looking for possible blaze in
some out of the way place. In the
course of the search one of the fire
men stumbled over a poor pussy
cat" which was half drowned and
was padding desperately in the four
feet of water which covered the
cellar. in q last attempt to save its
life The cat was so weak that she
could scarcely move and 1t was sew
eral hours before the hot sun revived
her sufficiently to give her strength
to move. The cat had been kept in
the cellar TO catch mice and in her
efforts to escape the flames she had
undoubtedly plunged into the water.

POLICE CALLED
TO BLUE HOME
Some Evidence of Burglars
But Nothing Missing.
CROOKS ARE KEPT MOVING
One Man Declared His Poe
kets Were Picked.
Circus Day Crowd was Orderly and
no Depredations were Reported to
the Police.

The Marion police department was
so thorough in its work, Tuesday
afternoon and evening, that few, If
any depredations, were committed.
The snatch thief was conspicuous
by his absence. The house break
ers must have realized that the po-
lice were on their trail and skipped
the city. At any rate there was
only one theft heard of and that was
not reported directly to the police.
"a street car conductor informed Pa
trolman Thompson that an old man
complained of having his pocketbook
stolen while on the street car COM
ing from the show last night. The
stranger declared that the purse did
not contain any great amount Of
money and did not seem much wor-
ried over his loss. He did not re-
port it to police, making It all the
more evident that his loss was very
trivial.
Captain Bond and Patrolman Will
helm spied two clever young men
who were riding the street cars back
and forth while the crowd was go
ing to the show grounds last even
ing. They acted suspiciously and
were mingling in the thickets OF the
crowd when the officers intercepted
them. The police had no direct
charges against the pair, but quietly
informed them to leave town. With
out any argument whatever the
supposed pickpockets ducked.
The police were called to the
home of William T. Blue, on South
Vine street, shortly after 8 O'Clock
last night. 1t was reported that
burglars had taken possession of
the holse in the absence of the
family and the police surrounded
the house. A search of the prem
ises disclosed nothing and the po-
lice were confident that the mis-
creants received the alarm and left
the home before the officers arrived.
Mrs. Blue returned home about Q
o'clock. Upon entering the house
she heard a noise in the basement
1t was so distinct that she was
positive that the cellar was occupied
The police responded almost immedi-
ately 20 the call. They found
tracks in the back yard and found
a rear door open. IL was evident
that the miscreants had just gained
entrance when Mrs, Blue arrived
as nothing was disturbed.
A number of suspicious looking
characters were found loafing about
the business districts of the city
late last night and were ordered to
move on. The police took no
chances. The suspicious characters
were impressed with the fact that the
police We're watching them and few
were slow about shaking the dust
of Marion.

LET HIM EXPLAIN.

Senator Toney and four other mem bers of the senate committee on cleo tions, viz: Montgomery, Patterson. Keel and Hamlter. have deliberately elected to endorse the peculiarly Malodorous brand of political corrup- Non which has made of Hot Springs modern Sodom and rendered exist ence there almost unbearable Of the latter four members of the committee we have nothing to do further than Do predict for them an early retire nent to obscurity, but of Senator Toney We have the right, on the part of maltreatea constituency, to de- mand an explanation. Why was his vote cast for Sumpter i'll the Garland county senatorial contest when the facts were sufficient to show conclu-
 
 estly elected? Why. again, did Sen ator Toney cast his vote against q further investigation of the facts? Was he afraid to force the positive proofs of fraud which the further delving Into the facts might reveal, or was it merely because he was already com mitted to the Sumpter interests and, therefore. cared nothing for factso If the latter be true, then what was the reason for ita Shall he be credited with desire to support any man corrupt and reeking with the rotten ness of Hot Springs politics or other wise--in preference to an honest Re publican, who has the proof of his election, thus setting at naught the governors commendable injunction to ~hold honor and honesty above part! interest?"
 These are questions which are cal culated to create sleepless nights ant uneasy days for the senator from lief ferson when the honesty anl politica integrity come into their own. Sen ator Toney in fairness ought to a least ascertain whether or not the peo pie of Garland county gave the Re.

Big Meeting at the City Hall Tonight '~~>at Which Many State Organizations 6 Hold Conventions Here Will Be
 Present
 Committees from the .Arkansaw Travellers, Pine Bluff Board of Trade, Eagle, Arkansas Medical Society, Ar kansas Funeral Directors Associa- tion, State Pharmaceutical Association, Arkansas Bankers Association, Red Men and the State Retail Merchants Association, which organizations will hold their annual conventions in this city during this year, will meet to- night~at the city hall for the purpose of perfecting plans for the raising of one big fund to be used in entertain ing the delegates to come here during the sessions.

publican nominee a majority of their votes; and determine whether or not the honesty and decency of Garland county have endorsed Sumpter or Greaves; not the endorsement of honf est Democrats nor of similarly hon est Republicans. He knew we'll the issue. and was no less aware of the nature and abundance of evidence rendered by law abiding citizens of Hot Springs to show that the Republi- can contestant asked simply for his rights under a Democratic constitu- tion as a citizen of Arkansas.
 The senator has assisted in sham ing a state, and If, by some miracle, right and justice should win out in the final struggle it will probably do so In spite of him and his colleagues who voted to tighten the hold of q disreputable coterie of corruptionists about the throat of devoted city and of Garland county.
 The senator cannot plead ignorance of conditions which he has voted to perpetuate, for if he was not fully ad- yised of all the facts the fault was his own. The evidence was there for his inspection and. furthermore, his attention was called to 1t not only in the public prints but by word of mouth and personal letters. He was asked to do nothing save investigate the evidence. yet he would cut off even this small means of securing redress for a palpable wrong.

HAND IT TO THE
 CRYTAL THEATER

Thanks. We have seen the acme of motion picture plays. We have seen men bow their heads and weep while women sobbed and boys held their mothers tight in their arms. At the Crystal Theater last night the picture, Where Is My Wandering Boy To- night?" was viewed by hundreds and the verdict of all was "the best that ever entered Pine Bluff" The pie ture is heart story, so true to nature that it tugs at the heart strings of every man who ever had an iota of love for his mother. It's no use. We can not tell you the story. You must see the pictures and hear the lec- ture that Mir. Walker gives to ap- preciate it. It may not be amiss here to state that MT. Walkers lecture is as touching as are the pictures. We hear that twenty-eight mothers re- Quested that the picture be held one more day and that the management have made arrangements to do so.
