A. d. Linnell. publisher of the

keynote in his declaration that on

from 81 per year to $3.50. Many
others could do the same thing with
profit to themselves and hurt nobody.

So issues of this banner of wisdom,

who presumably knows his business
and presumably, also, is in much

with one dollar year, how much
more ought we to be dissatisfied with
the measley little SOC with which we
have been struggling for several
years to make both ends meet
Prosperity, you know, is here, and
high prices are the rule. Therefore,
why should the News make the ex-
ception against itself, and charge
such an insignificant sum for paper

To the Public:

Low Stage of River

Little Rock Aug 3O-Section Director Alciatore says that
 while the weather is consider able cooler he can promise no rain and the indications are that the Arkansas River will go con. sioerably lower than it has ever been. The river today is less than 1 s feet the lowest it has been on the guage since 1874. The guage showed 1. 8 in 1881 on the same date, but today it is shade below it The next nearest was 1.6 in 1874. The river has been lower than this before, but never in August. The lowest mark ever recorded was .08 in September, 1879. Director Alciatore says there is no promise of rains in the water shed, which would cause a rise, and or the present showing the river is expected togo to the '79 mark, and possibly cut under it.

 colt Last Night.

Last night about II o'clock a large meteor flashed across the sky from the Southwest, and af- ter following nearly the entire path of the heavens, exploded, the report of which, following in about three minutes, was dis tinctly heard, awakening those who were asleep and causing much alarm by those who heard it.
 The light produced by the shooting star was quite brilliant and shaded the light of moon and dimmed the electric lights.
 Reports from Texarkana, Hope and other telegraphic points on the Iron Mountain state that the sound was distinctly heard at those places.

ton crop is reported this week, save in North Carolina, Southern Georgia and sections adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico. Dry wealth CT has prevailed from two to eight weeks and the plant is shedding freely. Hot days with drying winds and cool nights have
 intensified the effects of the drouth. In many sections there is a great deal of late cotton and this has suffered severely. The drouth has been especially severe in Arkansas and Oklahoma and it is said that rains now would do little good there except to fill out the unmatured bolls.
 Cotton is opening rapidly but picking will not become general over the belt before Sept. 10 to 15. Where picking has made pro- gress the new bales have been freely marketed.
 There is a general disposition to modify crop estimates and make them lower than two weeks ago. In sections there are prom ising crops out they are in a small minority. The prospects for q top crop are regarded as poor, although a late frost might in- crease the yield.

The work in this line has been somewhat delayed by the disconnection of the Iron Mountain switch track in the city, which comes to the building.

BADLY STUNG BY
 LARGE CENTIPEDE
A Convict Working on the State Capitol Building Goes Into COnvuIsi0ns
 From Its Effects.

Little Rock, Aug. 30.--Had there been any truth in the old statement that where a centi- pede touches the flesh, the flesh will rot, Harry Vanhart, a con- vict working on the State Capitol building, would today have flesh dropping from all parts of his body. As it is he has been a suf- ferer in the penitentiary hospit- al for several days and had a very narrow escape from in stant death while at work Satur- day after noon. Vanhart is one of the convicts assigned to work on the State Capitol building, and being of more than average intelligence, he has been select ed to assist in other than the
 heavier work. Saturday after
 noon he was stationed on a cap
 stone on the corner over the
 main entrance to the building, 60 feet above the stone strewn
 floor below, to hold a tape line for the stone masons working
 there Suddenly he threw up
 his hands and screamed "Centi-
 pede! centipede" He went into
 convulsion after convulsion on
 the narrow stone edge while
 those below watched his swaying form pass backwards over the ledge, powerless to assist him in
 any manner. "A bricklayer, who
 was working on the roof 100Ifeet
 away, ran across an iron beam,
 scarcely 4 inches wide, with
 nothing between it and the base
 ment floor, 100 feet below, to the
 suffering convict. Just as he
 reached his side the body gave a lurch and would have fallen off
 the cornice to the stone pile be
 low had he not caught it. As the
 bricklayer took hold of the body
 an exceptionally large centipede
 crawled from the leg of the con- vict. This he killed with a stone Four other laborers rushed to the assistance of the mason and it took all of the men to hold the convict who was having convul- sion after convulsion, until the penitentiary surgeon could ar rive and give him drugs to quiet him. Vanhart was then lowered to the ground in one of the ton tubs which are used for hoisting the material on the building. He is today rational again and will probably be able to teturn to his work in few days. Centipedes seem to be plentiful about the building for this is the second convict to be stung by one in the past two weeks. The other con vict had convulsions also but was able to return to work the next 1
