Business Property Transferred.

A piece of 7th street property has just
been sold through the ONCE OF Cissel. Tai
bolt Co. in connection with Joseph
Herzog for about $4,000 to Samuel Liv-
ingston for the Cashell heirs.
The property has about twenty-one feet
frontage on 7th street. and contains
about 1,5OO square feet, which brings the
price about $50 per square foot.
1t is known as 90S 7th street, and IL
now occupied as a candy store. Trans
fers of property in this section OF the city
are rare, and they usually attract atten-
ton, because they mark the passing of
an estate into the hands Of present day
merchants.

It has been well said: Tt be- hooves all who have interests in these coals to pay careful atten- tion to the uses to which each particular coal is adapted" Not only the vast resources, but the increasing activity in the devel- opment of the coal mines of the State is cause for conf1agra- ton. Not only these but the very low per cent of disasters in our mines, as published in the Parker Report of the General Government is a very pleasing fact. The carefulness of the em- ployees themselves, the sane management of those in charge, supplemented by the vigilance of the Mine Inspector, all contri- bute to this desirable end.
 In closing, we quote Dr. Bran ner's conclusions: "The exist ence in our State of vast body of coal of unusual excellence and comprising as it does varieties that make it available for a wide range of uses, is of an i'm portance that can scarcely be overestimated. The cheapness and excellence of this fuel will doubtless enlarge it's markets and will invite the establishment in our midst of many important industries, while values of all other economic products are greatly enhanced by their prox- imity to an inexhaustible sup ply of coal.

WOMAN
HAVE SUlCIDED|
But Doctor Relches Her Bedside In Time To Rescue Her
 Life.

Edith Ward, a woman who has been in this city for son. time and was for awhile cot nected with a lunch stand ad joining the Planters Hotel, was found nearly dead about 2 o'clock Saturday morning in a room of the E. l.. Watson building, as a result of self-administered dose of carbolic acid.
 When found by Officers Eaton and Carouthers, the woman had passed into convulsions. Dr.. Charles Martin was called in and by administering ematics and later giving eggs, whiskey and sweet milk, relief from the poison was secured and the would-be suicide will recover.
 Beside her bed was found an empty cup from which she had taken about two-thirds of a three ounce bottle of carbolic acid in coffee. The woman's mouth and throat were horribly burned and she evidently suf- fered tortures.
 She has no relative here, but her people are supposed to be residents of Little Rock. She recently figured in suspicious case, as diamonds were found in her room, that are alleged to have been taken from grip of another party sent to her by mis- take.
 At the foot of her bed a note was found which proved conclu- sively that suicide was her in tention and she now says that the taking of her life was prompted by the suspicion of theft lately thrown upon her.
 Note Found In Room.
 Send this to my mamma, w. A. Ward, 1915 Summer avenue.
 My Dear Mamma: My heart Is broke; I cannot endure this any longer. I have been accused of stealing a diamond. Once de tectives were looking for me when I was innocent of it all. 1 would not take what does not belong to me. The hotel people sent the wrong grip to me. They were going to arrest me for be- ing here, and the hotel man told me, so l hid in a friends room. They sent me the wrong grip, so fellows thought there was some whiskey in it, so we opened it and the lady was waiting for the train, and we hurried and put everything back and left some out; so I was accused of steal ing diamonds again. l never;but all the happiness has gone out of my life by this being told on me. Everyone l love believes all the lies on me. Be good to my babies. Don't never let their father have them. He left me destitute with them and first wrecked my life. Good bye Edith

A BIG ASSfT
Our Fuel Supply Should Bring Us Many Important
 Industries.

Prior to 1x6O only a very nCLle coal was produced West of the Mississippi River. This was mined in three states, Iowa, Mis- souri and Arkansas. The indus try in Arkansas developed slow l ly. In the year named only 200 short tons were produced. In the succeeding twenty years fol- lowing the increase was more rapid, reaching a maximum of 2,67O,458 tons in 1907.
 The U. S. Report for then, says: With the exception of Michigan, the percentage of in-, crease in coal production, over previous years in Arkansas was the highest of any of the coal producing states
 It is further reported i; "The coal mines of Arkansas during the year 1907 gave employment to 5O85 men who worked an av- erage of 190 days. The average production per man was 525 tons, equal to 2.76 tons per day for each men,"
 The United States Report fur ther says on Page 99: "The to- tai original supply of coal in Ar kansas was 1,887, 100000 short tons, of which 1,797, 100000 tons were bituminous and semi-an- thracite and 9O,O00,OO0. tons were Ignite. The Ignite areas have not been developed and no production reported From the other areas there have been mined only 23,756,4O1 short tons, representing exhaustion including waste of two per cent Iof original contents of the known Arkansas field"
 Ard SO it follows that of the known deposit of coal in oM state. 98 per cent yet remains in the Earth.
 The following counties are es- pecially referred to in the U. s. Report: Franklin, Johnson, Lo- gan, Pope, Sebastian, Scott and Washington. Dr. Owen men tions in addition to these: Yell Crawford, Perry, Conway, Mad ison, White and Van Buren and the operation of the Camden
 Coal Mining Company of Ouachi-
 ta County. He incidentally re- fers to coal deposits in other !, sections of the state and says Pulaski County is almost en- tirely situated in the coal Basin of Arkansas and the productive
 strata may be extended to ad- jacent Counties"
 The coal bearing regions may
 be known by "dark fossil shales" the coal occupying 9 position near the base of the shale. We are not left in doubt as to the "qual- itative value" of much of our
 coal supply. Dr. J. c. Branner,
 Ex-State Geologist, in that part
 of his report on the adaptibil- 1 ity of Arkansas to coal, said:
 "All, so far as tested, burns
 quit freely and makes clean,
 smokeless fire"
 Again having taken exhaus-
 tive tests made by the St. Louis
 Sampling and Testing Works, as
 proof says: "All these give bet
 ter results than the Standard or 1 Pittsburg coal" The explana-
 tion is seen in the difference in the amounts of ashes, clinker
 and coal which fell through the
 grate.
 In this connection, it was af-
 ter the most rigid and compara-
 tive tests that Arkansas Coal
