BAD BAD DE DE QUEEN FIRE FIRE
Leader Building and Contents Destroyed With Loss of S20. .000-Water
 Works Effective.

From the DeQueen Bee, September |.
 Night Marshal Berry this morning about clock. discovered smoke is suing from the rear of the Leader building on DeQueen avenue, and quickly gave the alarm.
 It was the fire company's first chance to fight fire since it's organi- zation, and the members responded promptly. However. before they got into action the interior of the building was a raging furnace. The company soon had three streams of water play ing on the fire. and never once lost control of it. In forty minutes after the alarm was given the fire was prac- ticaliy extinguished. but the contents were completely destroyed, and the roof had fallen in, leaving the bare brick walls standing.
 Van B. Sims. manager of the Lead CT, estimates the value of the stock of goods destroyed at 5000 and the fixtures at $i 800 The Leader car ried $5, 800 insurance.
 The damage to the Hicks Clothing Company. adjoining. will amount to several thousand dollars. though the damage to the building can hardly be estimate until a thorough examina- tion is made.
 The Leader building was owned by the Dierks Lumber Company and was worth in the neighborhood of $5,000. It was insured for $500.
 The origin of the fire is unknown, but is thought to have been caused by electric wires.

At the office of c. B. Wood, in the Davis block, there has been received the second shipment of glass jars for use in exhibiting to the world what can be produced in Polk county-the very best advertisement that can be produced the genuine show me- kind.
 The display now ready was seen at the Mena fair, and was by far the most attractive feature in the exhibi- tion hall. But it is not nearly com plete. MT. Wood and Mir. E. T. Wolf, who is assisting in the work, want samples of squash, turnips, roasting ears, egg plants, peppers, onions-all sorts of vegetables, as we'll as fruits and grains. Anyone can realize that the preparation and exhibition of such a collection is heavy expense. but the Kansas City Southern railroad knows that 1t IS the best method oi attracting people to this country. and all who love Polk county should gladly help. It will add value to every acre of land, and every piece of property in the county.
 Call at the office and see what is now prepared. It will make you proud of your county.
