FIND SECOND BULLET
Every Wheel on M0non Route Sion. ped for Five Minutes During
 Funeral.

Chicago, July 22@The alleged dis eoNery yesterday of second bullet in the grate at the home of the late Ira G. RaWn may play an important part In determining the manner in which the dead railroad president met his death.
 In this discovery members of inc lawn family are convinced they have the evidence that will remove the last doubt as to the circumstances that led up to his death. It is the cllnching argument, they believe, SUD- porting their theory that MT. Rawn's revolver was discharged at burglar and it was the bullet the intruder fired which took his life.
 Insurance officials who are investf- gating the case independently becaus, of his $147O00 life and accident in- surance refused to voice any definite opinion. If their investigation should disclosed that MT. Rawn ended his life the accident policies, aggregating Sl0o,o00 would be probably worthless.
 If the second bullet is found the murder theory is made much strong CT said Coroner Hoffman last night. night
 Coroner Peter Hoffman announced today he received information which led him to believe Ira G. Rawn was murdered for revenge. Hoffman an- nounced there will be an arrest be- for o'clock this afternoon.
 Chicago, July 22-The board of directors of the Monon route out of respect to the memory of the late president Ira G. Rawn, has ordered that every wheel on the entire sys- tenn shall cease turning for five min- utes this afternoon at the beginning of the funeral at 3:30 D. m. Tn ad- dition to stopping all trains wherever they may be at that hour all work In the railroad shops, offices and sta- tions will cease for the same length of time.
 For five minutes everything will be at standstill on the entire system.

CRASHED INTO
 STORE ROOF A l9yo 1nrnice Falls From New Bank Building to Roof 
 of Building.
HAD NARROW ESCAPE
Office Filled With B0ulders, Paye-I ment Covered with Debris and
 Delivery Wagon Demolished.

Yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock there was crash on West Second avenue that caused many to think Pine Bluff was being visited by an earthquake.
 A large section of the concrete cor nice work on the northwest corner of the new six-story building of the Citinzens Bank, which is just nearing completion, gave way and came down with crash that startled the na- tives. A greater portion of the mass of concrete fell on the roof of the twoftory building adjoining, which was shattered and the office of MT. Wall, cotton buyer, was filled with powders large enough to have killed anyone instantly Fortunately Mir. Wall had just left his office on busf- ness, and thus narrowly escaped death. MT. Marks, of the firm of Bluestein and Marks, had just left the pavement in front of his store when the crash came, and the pavement where he had been standing was cov- cred with the falling powders from the big building. Willis Adams, who is employed by Bluestein & Marks, was in the building at the time and narrowly escaped with his life.
 It is remarkable, almost a miracle that no one was killed, as the acci- dent occurred on one of the most pop ular thoroughfares of the city, and the street where the bowlders fell is usually crowded with pedestrians
 A delivery wagon belonging to Bluestein & Marks, which was stand ing in front of the store, was almost demolished
 Just what caused the cornice work to give way has not been explained. It seems to have been one of those mysterious happenings which occur when least expected.
 Workmen were put to work at once to repair the damage to the big build ing.

WEIGHED AND
 FOUND WANTING Rev. Violett Breaches a Ser mon That Appeals to the Christian Side of Life.
ARRAIGNS PINE BLUFF
Lack of Union Among Christians Re, sponsibIe for ConditiOns-T onight
 Gods Plumb Line on Pine BInii''

The thinking public continues to throng the big tent at Fifth and Main street to hear Evangelist Violett de- liver his masterful discourses from the Bible Last night he preached on Pine Bluff Weighed in the Balances and Found Wanting, reading from the fifth chapter of Daniel. After giving record of the events connect ed with the rise at4d fall of the great nations, the evangelist made special reference to the distinctive things that called forth the wrath of God. Bah.lan called upon her Gods fol glory ard she received it in an un- stinted measure, but Babylon with all of her glory left God out of her nat icnal belief and today stand as a monumental mark of Gods displeas- ure: likewise Rome called upon her gods for power and her armies were over all the world, but she too passed the way of the unbelieving Babylon; also Greece called upon her gods for pleasure and she stood at the head of all nations at one time, but today she bears upon her national life the mark of Gods displeasure like her two sisters; and the United States government has called upon our Gods for revenue and revenue we are get ting in large quantities, but, oh, think of the price we are paying for this revenue; 15O,00O drunkards ev- cry year pass on to meet their God and more than 750,0O0 mothers, wives and children pass over the hills to the poor house and the mill of lust and passion requires 100000 of our pure and innocent girls to keep it's wheels turning. The evangelist made strong arraignment of Pine Bluff for offering up her quota of men, wo- men and children in order that she may get revenue at the price of all that is pure and holy; h9 also charg- ed that the lack of union among the Christian people was responsible for this condition in large measure and would have to answer in the Judg- ment Day,

A LASTING TRIBUTE

The unveiling of the Confederate monument on the lawn of the Pine Bluff High School yesterday afternoon was one of the most interesting events in the history of Pine Bluff. and adds another page to the history of woman's love and loyalty to those who have fallen in the defense of ' their home and loved ones.
 Long before the appointed hour men, women and children began to gather at the big school house and when the hour announced had arrived the grounds around the High school was a seething mass of humanity, each seeming eager to see and hear and do honor to the occasion. It was erected by the McNeill Mar ble Company, of Marietta, Georgia, and is of the highest type of sculp- ture. The statue is life size of a Confederate soldier, representative of the infantry soldier. His gun is at parade rest Under the statue is four tablets with inscriptions. On the front tablet is inscribed 1S61- 1865 and between the figures is the letters c. s. A. Below the letters on the same tablet is the inscription To the memory of our Confederc te Soldiers" and below this is verse taken from Father Ryan, We care not whence they came, dear in their lifeles9 clay.'
 Whether unknown or known to fame their cause and country still the same They died and wore the gray. On the second base on bold uprais- cd letters is Confederate"
 On the South side of the monument is t.:e inscription Erected by David Owen Dodd Chapter, United Daugh- ! ters of the Confederacy, November 1C :s.t, With the verse Tn Legions and lay our heroes in Gray shall for ever live over again for us.
 "This tablet is inscribed to J. Ed Murray, Colonel of the Fifth Arkansas regiment. Killed at the battle of ] Atlanta, July P, 1864 Age 21 years is the inscription on the tablet on the north side. The west tablet bears the tribute to the martyred hero of the state. The inscription , runs Tribute to David Owen Dodd our martyr hero. Hanged at Little Rock as a spy January 8 1864. Age seventeen years. He was offered life and liberty but preferred to die rath- CT than prove false to his trust.
 The monument is made of the pur- est Southern marble.
 To the untiring efforts of the lad ; ies of David Owen Dodd chapter is dus the credit for the beautiful tribute which now stands out boldly on the green lawn of the High School. In the words of Rev. w. D .Buckner "ev. cry young man and young lady should feel it a privilege to lift their hats or bow as they pass this handsome monument

which involved all the railroads cen

able increased expenses; the rate Of
pay of practically all employees was
increased; the rapid expansion of the
business more than taxed the COM

However, improvements of the proper
ty are progressing satisfactorily and

The profit and loss balance at the
close of the year was s1,0S0,564. The
number of passengers carried during
the year was 1,372,0S9, an increase of

Freight revenue increased 1901, 702,

The large increase in freight revenue
was due principally to an increase in

Retail, Cost Of Dressed Products Gu,
Three Cents.

Omaha, Nov. SO.-Dressed meats
took big slump and reached the low.
est level in five years. In some In.
stances the drop was as much as 3
cents pound. The Retail Butchers
Association held closed meeting and
when shops opened every association
concern made the following prices:
Sirloin, 10 cents; porterhouse, IL
cents; round, 10 cents; shoulder, Z
cents; pot roast, cents; pork roast, 8
cents; chops. 10 cents; lamb chops, 10
cents. 49,
Those prices were the highest grade
OF meats, grass fed stuff from the
range, and retailing at 2 to cents
less, Packers said they have not made
any cut during the last week.
Retailers admit they are not getting
meat any cheaper than they did in the
middle of the month. but say the rea.
son for cheapening is largely due to a
move that was put afoot by number of
local capitalists who proposed to
finance several Independent markets.

INTERIOR OFFICIALS REFUSE TO
INTERPRET THE MINNESOTA
LIQUOR LAWS. D.,
JoHNsoN's METHODS CRITICISED
Minnesota Delegation Looked to For
First Move.-LegisIatIve Steps
Would Embarrass Other
Representatives.

washington, NOV. SU.-ln the Opln-
ion of the interior department Off
Gals, the solution of the Indian liquor
question in Minnesota rests solely
with the courts. The administrative
officers of the government will not
attempt to interpret the laws nor the
application of the treaties. They say
that unless restrained by the courts,
the treaty laws will be enforced
The next and most interesting ques.
ton, pending proceedings in the
courts is the probable action of Min:
nesota senators and representatives.
Can President Taft be induced to
abrogate the application Of the bar
to liquor Introduction into the Indian
country? Will the Minnesota delega.
ton ask him to do it? Will the dele.
cation move by bill or resolution in
congress to annul the old Indian treat
les?
That is said to be the delicate ques-
ton. 1t runs afou1 of the prohibition
issue and would be embarrassing to
members of congress from many
states.
Congressman Miller Is Silent.
The only member of the Minnesota
delegation who has arrived here is
Representative Miller of Duluth. He
is member of the house Indian com.
mittee and part of the affected terri
tory is in his district.
Mr.. Miller declines to discuss the
subject. Presumably, he is awaiting
the arrival here of Senator Nelson and
Representatives STEVENSON and Lind
berg, whose districts also are affected.
1t is possible that when these mem.
bers arrive some plan of action may
be evolved. 1t is not believed Mr..
miller will take up the matter at this
time with President Taft.
Another influential official in Indian
matters who has arrived here is Chas
Fl. Burke of South Dakota chairman
of the house Indian committee.
Up to Minnesota Delegation.
Mr.. Burke said he has heard much
about the liquor question, but almost
nothing about the plans to solve it.
He admits knowing very little about
the merits of the case and says that
as to legislation in congress the sug-
gestions to amend must come from the
Minnesota delegation.
There are intimations in department
circles that the operations of Special
Agent w. e. Johnson are not altogeth-
err satisfactory, but the government is
so much impressed with the desirable
ity of a judicial Interpretation of the
law and the power Of the government
in the premises that the proceedings
in the Indian country doubtless will be
continued as begun until judicial or
executive or congressional restraint
is interposed.
More Towns to Be "Lidded."
Minneapolis, Nov. 30.-Five squads
of Indian agents who received secret
orders from "Pussyfoot" Johnson,
their chief, in midnight secret con-
ference in Bemidji started for Ave DIFF
ferent towns in the territory covered
by the treaty in 1855 to close every
saloon Of them.

MINNESOTA HAS
2,075,7O8 PEOPLE
FEDERAL CENSUS OF 1910 SHOWS
sTATE GAINED 324,314 IN
TEN YEARS.
GREATEST GAIN IN LARGE CITIES
ct. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth Gain
176,ss6.-Rest Of State Shows
Increase Of 148,449
Inhabitants.
SOME OTHER STATES.

:" Washington, Dec. 1.-The popula
ton Of the state of Minnesota Is 2,075,-
708. according to the thirteenth federal
of 324,314, or 1875 per cent, over 1,751,-
1894 in 1900. The increase from 1890
to 1900 was 449,56S.
The returns place the state Of Min.
nesota in the two million class. The
major part Of the gain is credited to
the three largest cities-Minneapolis,
st. Paul and Duluth-but the rural
communities show growth that is
more than merely healthy.
An increase Of more than 100000 is
shown for the farms and the small
towns of the state and this immense
army Of workers is increasing every
day. While the population of the
three large cities had prepared the
average Minnesotan for large state
increase, it was not hoped by any but
the most optimistic that it would be
more than 100000.
Older States Are Beaten.
Older and larger states that showed
indications of great progress have
been left behind in the struggle for
supremacy In population and few
states in the union show as large an
increase, and still fewer showed a
larger percentage gain.
The steady stream of sturdy farm.
ers from the old countries, the equally
steady stream of skilled workers and
mechanics and the flow of wealth to
Minnesota has been continuing for
years. Its wealth, climate and prom.
Uses of bounteous crops have brought
new citizens to Minnesota from all
over the world.
Nearly every county in the state
shows gains and some of them have
almost doubled since 1900. Those
counties containing the cities show
an especially large increase. In 1880,
only 80 years ago, when the first fed
eral census was taken in the state,
Minnesota had 4 population of only
,780,773, and has gained 1,294,935 in
that period.
Texas and Oregon and Washington
have q larger percentage increase,
but the railroads of the country have
spent millions of dollars In advertis-
ing and land has been offered free
to thousands who would take it. The
growth in Minnesota has been a
steady, natural increase and there is
no danger Of losing any of the gain.
