MENA WANTSA BIG
 HOTEL FOR VISITORS
Business Men Realize the Need for It and Will Take Stock in Liberal Amounts Thousands of Peo-
 pie Would Come.

There is no question but the city of Mena needs-and needs badly-a big hotel for the accom- modation of people who desire to come here to rest and recuperate during the summer months. There's nothing new in this-not even any secret-uuless it be that the desire for the hotel is just now eyidencing itself stronger than in the past.
 Ia conversation with a sub stautial business man a represen- tative of The Star was yesterday informed in straight English that the aforesaid business man had 1000 in good money that he would put into the enterprise either as donation or into stock.
 Taking this as a cue, irqurit S were made of others prominent in Mena affairs, and this resnlted in finding others ready to do as much, and still more with as much as $500 to offer.
 These proposals, 1t is under stood, are for hotel to cost not less than $50. 900 and to be fitted up to entertain families, or the wives and children of families who would come here for their health and to escape the heated weather and torments of the low lands during the hot season. The same would, it is believed, be just as attractive in winter for people of the frozen north.
 Along this line it is more than intimated that should an enter prise of this sort be set going, the Kansas City Southern railroad would take large block of the stock and lend other substantial aid.
 Business men take great inter est in this move because they re- alize that the average summer or winter visitor or tourist will spend more money in the city than will several laboring men. And then, to, every one of them knows that we have more advant- ages tor such a venture than all most any city in the country.

GILLIAN SPRINGS RESORT
Attorney General Norwood a Stock holder iu Enterprise to Use Natural
 Advantages of Polk County.

Fred Wigstrand, Democratic nomi- nee for county surveyor, was in Mena Wednesday, and reports that he has just returned from Gillham Springs, where he was engaged for several days laying out lots and mak- ing surverys for real live health re- sort. The enterprise is being pro- noted by a company composed of Attorney General Norwood, Dr. J. F. Norwood, Judge J. s. s eel and A. F. Steel Of Lockes5urg and MT. Gillham, the leading merchant of Gillham Springs, and others.
 Forty-fve lots were laid out, a large park, lake and fish pond and pleasure grounds. The company will place on sale all of these lots soon. one to be held by each stock holder, each of whom will build a cottage on his lot. The amount se- cured for lots sold and l,500 be- sides will be used to build resort hotel.
 In addition to these in provements a gravity waterworks system, SUD- piled from a large spring, and an electric lighting plant will be put in. It is said that several thousand dol lars will be spent in making a first class wagon road to connect with the railroad at Vandervoort, eleven miles, almost directly west of the springs. This is one of the most thorough-going moves thus far made in Polk county to take advantage of its boundess opportunities in this direction.

 Dear Sir:--I would like you to answer some questions for me in regard to the teachings of the people that you are identified with, known in this country as Dawnists.
 l. Are the conventions leld by them secret institutions? ?. Do they believe in plural marriage?
 3. Do they believe in having seven wives?
 These things are being charged against you people in this neigh borhood by some that seem to be your best friends. 1 have no in- terest in these matters, only have curiosity to know how you stand on them.
 Please answer these questions if you can without doing yourself an injustice, and oblige,

Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Julia McCurdy and Mrs. Lillie Warren, who both run roomiug houses on Pickering Avenue, near the roundhouse, met in front of Mrs. Warren's house and attempted to settle their differences in a hair pulling match. They made quite a bit of noise during the scuffle and soon had good sized au- dieuce. Ia spite of the fact that Mrs. Warrcn's daughters were helping her out she was getting the bad end of the fight, during which a broom handle was brok- en. Whose head it was that broke the broom is not known. The women stopped after the crowd gathered and agreed, upon Chief of Police McMillan's re- quest, to be in police court Thurs day morning. They came and were fiued $2.5 each by Judge Alex ander. When Mrs. McCurdy paid her fine she pulled out big roll of greenbacks and handed out a S20 bill.

M. E. Fried, Big Fork, Ark.
 Dear Sir: Your favor of recent date received, which is duly ap preciated and I am glad of the opportunity to answer your ques- tons.
 Question l. The conyentions held by the people you mention, are not a secret order, as l have attended two of their conventions, one at Denver, Col, and one al Fort Smith, Ark.
 The one at Denver was held ia the First Christian church, which will seat 1000 10 1900 peo. pie; and it hx j been so thorough. ly advertised that there was mol sufficient room to accommodate al the people, and there was ar overflow meeting held at anoth. CT place, two discourses delivered at the same time.
 At Fort Smith the friends had employed every known means te advertise the meetings, using hand bills, cards and flags at. tached to street cars, besides the ne wspaper columns, with the re suit that 1t was necessary to use the opera house to accommodate the 1000 or 1900 people who st, tended.
 Question 2. No.
 Question }. No. l have beer reading the teachings of thes, people for the last SIX yeai' and have read practically al their literature and am in a posi- tion to know exactly what they teach and can assure you that al such statements are falsehood.
 Pure and simple are the meet ings and all the publications are conducted by the watch Tow CT Bible and Tract Society oi Brooklyn, N. r., of which Charles I. Russell IS president, As pastor, his discourses appears in about 600 newspapers and pc. riodicals and are read by hundreds of thousands of people and never before did we hear of these ab- surd charges being made. but il is a notable fact that these people have raised the highest stand al q of Christians living of any which 1 have ever known.
 As 10 those who make these charges being our best friends. If they are, 1 have no idea wha al induces them 10 make such state. ments, unless 1t be ignorance of the subject. I dislike to thir k that any one would do so tor the purpose of islander, and still thu re seems to be some professed Chris tians around Big Fork who never miss an opportunity to try to down every thing that does not conform to their way of thinking To such we would say, in the language of Gamaliel, Acts 5 3e and go: ''and now 1 say unto you refrain from these meu and let them alone, for if thIs counsel or tbis work be of uan, it will come to naught, but if 1t be oi God, you cannot overthrow 1t lest haply ye be found even to fight against God"
 We expect to hold another meeting at the school house near Big Fork on the fourth Sunday in June, at which the speakers will undertake with pleasure to answer all Bible questions which may be asked.
 Very respectfully,
 Stephen Bates. Big Fork Fork, Ark, Ark May g 1910
