BULLION RECOVERING.

Little Rock, Feb. bruce T. Bull
lion, secretary to Governor Dona-
ghey, who has been confined to his
home through illness for the past five
days, resumed his work this morning
and began to NOV down the four
bushels of mail stacked upon the
desks in the office of the chief execu-
tive, which had accumulated in his
absence. Secretary Bullion has been
suffering with the grip.

The state capitol commission meets
tomorrow, at which time the bond of
William Miller & Sons Company will
be approved. AS soon as this is done
the general contractors will increase
the small force now at work and push
the building to completion. The con-
cern has done one thing so far which
shows they are on the job, by taking
down all of the old Caldwell & Drake
signs about the building, even though
they had long since been turned to
the wall, and putting up new Miller
signs in their stead.

FRANK RACzkOWSkI
KILLS HIMSELF
FARMER AT MARCHE ENDS
LIFE WITH A SHOTGUN
FRIDAY NIGHT.

Marche, Feb. Prank Raczkow-
ski, aged 80 years, who has been iv-
ing at this place for some time, COM
mitted cuicide near this place Friday
night, the weapon used being a shot
gun. 1t seems as if he wished a
rather peculiar death, as the shot
gun was found with one end of a
string tied to the trigger and the
other end tied to a small tree. He
must have pulled the gun toward him
and shot himself in the stomach,
causing, it is thought, almost an in
staneous death. His mother testified
at the coroner's inquest that he had
been acting strangely for several
days, and that he had visited priest
on Wednesday. After his return he
told his mother that he would not
be alive Saturday. He was missed
from his home Friday night and a
search was made Saturday morning.
His body was found a short distance
from the home of his brother-in-law
Jacob Makoski, with whom he had
been living. The coroner's jury re-
turned verdict of death from a self
inflicted shotgun wound. Raczkow-
ski is survived by his mother and one
brother, both living in Marche.

FARMERS WAREHOUSE
DOING GOOD BUSINESS

The Faulkner County Warehouse,
owned by the farmers of this county,

this season and has sold for the men,
bers of the union over 450 tons of
cottonseed, averaging S25 per ton. A
considerable amount of cotton is be-
ing held by the warehouse for a fur

HALLEY'S COMET SEEN
BY LOCAL SCIENTIST

Prof. j. T. Buchholz, associate pro-
fessor of science in the State Normal,
is probably the first Arkansas man
to get view of Halley's comet, which
IS now approaching the earth, locat-
ing it with telescope of only Pinch
diameter. Prof. Buchholz, who, of
course, knew the location of the COM
ct in the heavens, saw it through his
glass last Friday night, but waited
for another observation Saturday
night before announcing his discov-
cry. Saturday night, in company
with Prof. Burr of Hendrix college
and several others, the comet was
again located and it's identity as
sured.
The comet is expected to become
visible to the naked eye within the
next four or five weeks.

SIXTEEN
FISHERMEN OFF
BRAZILIAN COAST
Captain of Famous Steamer Is
Rewarded for Rescue OF Sailors
in Shark-infested Sea.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE steamship
Tocantines, a famous vessel which ran
the mined harbor of Port Arthur to
escape from the Russians, swings
gracefully at her dock in Brooklyn to-
day after, a trip from Brazil, bringing
a new tale of adventure and rescue. A
gold medal won by the captain and pre-
scented by the Brazilian government,
commentaries this latest achievement
of the little ship-the saving of sixteen
fishermen off the Brazilian coast on
March %.
: The first of the sixteen men was
sighted by the lookout before dawn.
He was clinging to a plank in the open
sea and waving a weak arm to the on
coming ship. A school of sharks wam
about behind him and his rescuers
found that his legs had been badly
torn by the big fish. The man, had
been in the water twenty-four hours
and had eaten his last meal six days
before. He had set out from Rio
Janeiro with fifteen companions.
A squall took away their rig and left
them to drift helplessly. All went
crazy but this one man, and he was
compelled to take to the water to es-
cape his companions frenzy.
After hearing his story the Tocan-
tines cruised about for several hours,
finally locating the wreck and ~rescuine

LITTLE GIRL MEETS HER
DEATH IN WATER BARREL.

SEA ISLE CITY, May 11.-Lillian
May, the bright and pretty S-year-old
daughter of Jacob Richardson, was
buried yesterday from her late home at
Stone Harbor. The little girl was the
victim of one of the saddest tragedies
ever recorded in the county. Her
father, with a gang of men. had been
doing cement work near their home,
and shortly after they quit for the day
the little one was missed. Search was
made for her, and it was feared she
had wandered to the meadow and met
with a mishap.

search, but it was not until almost 10
o'clock at night that Mrs. David Trox-
eai CHANGED to look into a water barrel
the men had been using, and saw the
form of the child curled up on the bot
tom. 1t is supposed the child had
mounted some material standing close
to the barrel and in her endeavors to
peer into 1t had lost her balance and
fallen in, and. unable to make an out
cry, had drowned in six inches OF
water.

denunciations of the tariff bill and the

speeches made last night by Senator's
Jonathan p. Dolliver and Albert r.

campaign in Iowa. The Coliseum was
crowded by 10000 progressives.
The meeting followed district con-

steps were taken to reconstruct the
old Cummins organization and to or

Even President Taft did not escape

Senator Aldrich was named as the

SCHUETzEN PARKS
FIRE WON'T HALT
PRESIDENTS VISIT
North Bergen Resorts
Loss Placed Today at
100000.

HOBOKEN, May 11.-Smoke is still
rising from the ruins of the North Ber-
gen Schuetzen Park, which was almost
destroyed by fire last night with an
estimated loss of S100, 900. The flames
swept the big dancing pavilion and was
transmitted to other buildings. The
inmates of the Fritz Reuter- Home for
Aged People, which is nearby and
which was threatened with destruction,
have not yet recovered from the shock
of their narrow escape.
Charles Hoffman, of 9I6 Bergenline
avenue, North Bergen. was run over by
q fire engine On it's way to the fire. He
was taken to the North Bergen Hos
pital, where. it is said, his injuries are
serious. Three men were badly burned
on the face and hands Several of the
firemen We're overcome, but were quick
ly revived and a few minutes later
were again on DUTY
President Taft was to have visited
the park Memorial Day when the Ma
tional Schuetzenbund, composed of
Germans throughout the county, was
to have held its annual celebration. 1t
was the intention to hold the reception
to the President in the pavilion.
Frank Hagen, lessee of the park,
said today that the reception will be
held in one of the smaller pavilions,
the accommodations of which are one
fourth less than hat of the larger
pavilion.
The origin of the fire is not known.
The fire is supposed to- have started In
the kitchen under the large pavilion.
An alarm was sent into the North Ber'
gen Volunteer Department. When the
firemen reached the park, more thar
two miles from their headquarters, the
flames had spread to II of the smaller
buildings.
Realizing that they were unable td
cope with the flames, help was asked
for from the West New York and Gut
tenberg departments. Hall an houl
elapsed before aid arrived, and by tina
time the danes had spread to at leas'
FIVE other buildings.
The Fritz Reuter- Home was scorched
The mere than twenty inmates became
panic-stricken and rushed for the doors
The superintendent led them to the fal
part of. the building. where they re
manned while firenen played a stream
on the structure
The firemen were successful in theii
efforts to save the home from destruc
ton.
After fighting the fire for -four hours
the fremen at midnight had the flames
under control. The said tina
as soon as the insurance was ADJUSTED
the park will be rebuilt.
It is the second time h park ha'
been partly destroyed by fire. Twelve
years ago flames swept the resort. ant
1t was almost wiped out.
