A Minister From Little Rock Says
 Found New Lease of Life.

W. E. Holt Tuesday received a letter from w. L. A. Stranberg, pastor of the Barring Cross Baptist church at Little Rock, in which, speaking of his months vacation in MeIa, he says:
 Our short vacation spent in Mena and vicinity seemed to give us a new lease on life. We have returned to the arduous work of our city pastorate with renewed health. energy and de- termination. The high altitude, the pure air, the pure, cold life-giving waters, the beautiful scenery of your city park, the grand old mountains which seem to stand as Gods senti- nels around your queenly city, com bined with your big hearted and hospitable people make Mena one of the greatest and most desirable health resorts in the great Southwest.
 Wife, Master Joe and myself look forward with much pleasure to the time when we may again spend our summer or winter vacation in your city. drink it's health-giving waters and rest under the shade of it's grand old spreading trees.

LOADING EXHIBIT
 TO SEND TO FAIR
Ed I. Wolfe and ". A. Tomlinson Put ting Samples of Polk COunty's Best iz Car Ready to Go to
 Hot Springs.

The. exhibit of Polk county products. which is being prepared for the state fair at Hot Springs, now is almost complete, and Ed T. Wolfe and W. A. Iomlinson, who are to go with it, were hard at work Tuesday seeing after the details of getting all safely loaded on a big car. It was started on the journ- ey Tuesday night. MT. Wolfe and MT. Tomlinson left Wednesday.
 This exhibit has been in the course of preparation ever since the Mena fair in August. In fact a part of it was shown at that time, and it was the good showing made that caused At torney General Norwood to give $1O for the purpose of helping pay the ex- penses of sending it to Hot Springs. MT. Norwood said he felt that the peo- pie of Arkansas should have a chance to see what was produced in this, his home county.
 The natural history exhibit of mounted birds. animals and fishes, the handiwork of W. A. Tomlinson, in all consisting of not less than 500 pieces, will be a feature in itself that will doubtless excell anything shown at a state fair in years, either in Ar kansas or elsewhere. No premium is offered for this class of exhibits, Mr. Tomlinson just taking it over to "help out. 7"
 Polk county will occupy prominent place on the map" at the Arkansas state fair.

PRESIDENT TAFT MAKES
 FIRST KEYNOTE SPEECH
Opens Congressional Campaign With Address at New York-He Com pImented Col. Roosevelt
 and Praised Party.

New York, Oct. 4.-President Taft grassiye Republicanism" and gave definite notice Of his friendly feeling toward that wing of the party.
 The occasion was hls first political address of the congressional cam paign, a keynote" speech delivered before the banquet of the National League of Republican clubs. A pro gressive Republican" according to the views of the president. Is 'one who recognizes existing and concrete evils and who Is in favor of practical and definite steps to eradicate them"
 Three times during the speech he referred in complimentary terms to ex-President Roosevelt. first thanking him as the executive whose adminis- tration marked rising tide of prog ress for the party; again. as being chifly instrumental in organizing crusade against political corruption; and finally, without mention os his name, as "heartening the cause of Republicanism by a brave declaration of principle" in the convention at Saratoga.
 There was no reading out" of in surgents' In the presidents speech; no repetition of his Winona utteranoe. Instead. the president sought to leave the impression that the work in con gress had been achieved by united party. After enumerating the legisla- ton enacted, he declared:
 The extraordinary achievements of this congress may fairly be said to be part of great Republican movement. As all shared in the work. so we all must share in the satisfaction of ac- complishment. It marks the rising tide of progress that began at the end of a Democratic panic when William Mckinley was our leader and that continued throughout the two admin istrations of Theodore Roosevelt. It is peculiarly a Republican distinction that our party has been able to place on the statute books far-reaching rem edial Legislation touching the very vitals of our social and economic structure without Involving the coun- try in financial disaster.
 "A party of true progress is not 8 party of redicalism. It Is not party of ultra-conservatism."

Los Angeles, Oct S.---No final estt mate of the number of the dead from the explosion and fire, which com. pletely destroyed the Times building, could be obtained, at present Tho ruins were still red hot and a search for the dead or missing was out of the question
 No authoritative explanation has as yet been made as to the cause of the explosion which started the fire. The brunt of the explosion itself was borne by the composing room, which was on the second floor There was a single great uDheaval and the linotype ma chimes were thrown about as if they were only a few ounces in weight.
 The Explosion Terrific.
 The explosion tore tip the compos- ing room to the floors above, carrying sheet of fire with It. Those of the compositors who were not crippled by the explosion managed to get out through windows. It Is believed those who were working in other de partments of the paper on floors high CT up were not so fortunate.
 William Campbell. hoseman of en- zine company No. l, was pinned under fallen wall for two hours and half, and has comrades had to chop off his foot to release him from the burning debris.
 The explosion caused the loss of twenty or more lives and a property loss of $500.O00.
 The Los Angeles Times. which is one of the most widely known news papers in the Southwest. is edited by General Harrison Gray Otis, who also is the principal owner.
 Union Labor Blamed.
 The management lays the blame of the explosion to the labor unions, with which the paper has long been engaged in bitter warfare. It is charged that unidentified persons set of charge of dynamite in a blind alley which ran into the center of the building, completely wrecking the in terior and setting 1t on fire from rooi to basement
 The force of the explosion was ter rife. It was heard for miles, and all the windows in the vicinity of the Times building at First street and Broadway were shattered.
 Many In the Building.
 Between 50 and 75 employees were in the structure at the time, and until the whole list can be checked over 1t will not be known how many lives were lost.
 The heads of the paper, including the assistant general manager, Harry Chandler, had narrow escapes from death, many of them having left the building short time before the ex- plosion.
 The building was equipped with gas fittings, and the force of the explosion, tearing these pipes into bits. released gas which was ignited in every part of the building.
 No other cause except that of q dynamite explosion was advanced bl witnesses. excepting in the casa of 5. Western Union Telegraph operator, William Firman, who said he detected the odor of gas through the building earlier In the night and had called attention to 1t.
 A few minutes after the explosion the police arrested a man named Harry Flake, who was making his way through the Broadway tunnel a few blocks distant. He was locked up on suspicion. Another man, Will- tam Orwin, was arrested later The police are without clews.

He lay deep and quiet" said one to
day, "and It was d hard and puzzling
task to get the evidence needed"

The executive officer in question is one
who served the trust under the late
Henry o. Havemeyer, and who has con-
tiuued IN Office since Mr. Havemeyers
death. throughout the widespread pub
Hcity given 10 the fraud, and after the
trust confessed in the United States
court that It was thief He was re-
elected to Office to-day.
Along with the denial that any officer
or director had been mixed UP in tho
crookedness was the statement that the
directors did not believe that there was
anything illegal in the wrecking OF the
Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Company
for which i've OF the directors OF the
trust, Arthur Bonner, Charles Il. Senff,
John E. Parsons John Mayer, and
