At the First Baptist Church.


 At the First Baptist church we are expecting all Sunday School records to be broken. At half past nine o'clock there is to be One Thousand people in attendance at our Sunday School. It is to be Sunday School turn out" day. On account of the large place we want to give to this Sunday School conclave there will be no preaching at eleven o'clock. Af- ter the regular class recitation in the Sunday School is over, there will be a short program rendered when the heads of the different departments will make short speeches and some o! the little folks will sing. Two ques- t1ons will be asked. How many clas- ses are perfect in attendance? and How many whole families are pres ent? This meeting is purely for the purpose of an exhibit of the grea, work our Sunday School. Every member of the school and every mem. Der of the church are expected to he present. All friends who want to see the biggest Sunday school in ArKansaas are invited to this service. Immediately after this program is completed, the church membership Will celebrate the Lords Supper. At eight o'clock at night the pastor will preach. Selsus E. Tull, pastor

MARKET SENTIMENT IS BULLISH

New York. July 1.-The government report showed a much lower condition than had been expected and the fall options had a substantial advance. Further deterioration is believed to have occurred since the report was compiled and sentiment here is more bullish than at any time this season. Unless good general rains fall in Tex as and Oklahoma in the near future higher prices are predicted for the new crop. Spot sales two hundred bales, prices unchanged from yester- day.

INDUSTRIAL CORPORATIONS.

That the industrial corporations or
the country have attained enormous
proportions and are resting on general
ly solid and profitable foundations is
made apparent by the, first annual
number of Poor's Manual of Indus
trials, which has just been issued. 1t
contains 2,317 pages of text, and is
designed to perform work similar
to that accomplished by Poor's Manual
of Railroads, which has been issued
for more than forty years. The new
book is remarkable not only for its
scope, which is much greater than has
heretofore been attempted by any
publication, but also for the aggregate
industrial figures presented in its in

The average rate of interest on

Lightning consumes copper Rail.

A hungry bolt of lightning ate a big
copper ball on the spire of the First
Presbyterian church in the storm on
Sunday afternoon. The only witness rf
the feast was so close mouthed about it
the officials and members of the church
knew nothing about it until today An
official of the church CHANGED to look
up at the spire when passing today
and was surprised to see the big cop
per ball was missing. 1t mystified
him. The theory that copper thieves
scaled the spire and stole the ball was
untenable. The fact the rod which had
held it in place still was there added to
the mystery.
The man entered the yard and was
searching high and low when Mrs.
George A. Williams, whose home adj
joins the church, asked him if he had
lost anything
Yes, the copper ball from the top of
the spire," he replied.
"Oh, it's useless for you to look for
that" she said. because it is burned
up"
Copper doesn't burn" he replied
quickly

Z varerways demonstration that Will
commend itself as eminently practical
&c discussed by H. H. Windsor in the
Irne number of Popular Mechanics. He
says:
while it does not quite reach from
the lakes to the gulf, it does extend
from St. Louis to New Orleans, which
is no small distance. A strictly mod
ern river boat, with luxurious cabins
for passengers and capacity for two
or three thousand tons of freight, will
be built.
mo IA to "a foot channel will be re-
ouired for this boat, as its draught is
extremely shallow measured in inches.
No expensive docks and slips need be
constructed nor any other unusual ex-
penditures made to permit the expert
ment. The river and wharves are ia
ken Just as they are, and the boat is
built to accommodate itself to exist
ing conditions.
1.-THE distance by river between the
two cities is about 1850 miles; hence
continuous day and night travel, with
necessary stoppage for fuel and land
ing of passengers, should enable the
boat to make the down trip in five days
and the return trip in six days. This
does not compare unfavorably with the
present movement of freight by rail-
roads other than the fast freight lines
for perishable commodities. such as
fruit and vegetables. Not many classes
OF freight can afford the high rates
charged by the fast trains.

an insufficiency of water than the policy
