BLOWING UP OF
 BIG BATTLE SHIP
Magazine ExpIOdes and Kills From $50 to 400 Men in
 French Fleet.
FIRE EATS WAY TO MAGAZINE
Work of Rescue Began Immediately After Explosion and Several
 Sailors Were Saved.

Toulon, France.-The battIeship Liberte was torn apart and totally de- stroyed by an explosion of her maga- zine. Between $50 and 400 officers and men are dead or missing The battleship Republique was badly dam- aged and the battleships Democratic and Verite also suffered severely from the masses of thwisted iron and armor plate which were hurled upon their decks.
 This is the greatest disaster that ever has fallen upon the French navy, and in magnitude is almost without precedent in the annals of the worlds fighting ships.
 The explosion, which wiped out one of Frances newest and most power ful battleships, occurred at 5:33 o'clock in the morning. It was the result of an outbreak of fire. The flames spread rapidly in spite of all efforts to check them, and reached the magazines before there was time to flood them. The magazines ex- ploded with tremendous violence, sow ing death and destruction Tn every direction.
 While the naval authorities esti- mate the fatalities at 300, it is ex- pected this figure will be exceeded. It will be necessary to go through the ships muster rolls, task of several days, before a full list of the victims can be prepared. A number of iflen already have been extracted alive from the fantastieally torn and twist ed mass of wreckage
 Exactly from what cause or when the fire broke out has not been estab- ished, but it is believed it had gmoul- dered for hours.
 Of the vessels full complement of TAP, Capt. Puares, brother of the So- cialist leader, and the second officer in command, both were ashore on leave, as well as 40 officers and men. The command of the ship developed upon the senior lieutenant. who per ished.
 The position of the fire made it im- possible to flood the magazines: nev- ertheless efforts to do so were made and, finally the commanding officers. realizing the shi1 was doomed. or dered the bugler to sound the "Suave que peut' (Let him save himself who can), and shouted to the men to jump for their lives.

SERIOUS WRECK;
 NJ FATALITIES
Heavily Loaded Passenger Train Jumps Seventy Foot
 RaVine.
ONE MAN BADLY BRUISED
DeraiIed Tender Strikes Trestle and DemoIishes 1t and Cars Following
 Jump Gap.

Fayetteville.-The wreck of Frisco passenger No. 6 at Greenland, five miles from Fayetteville, was one of the worst derailmants that has oc- cured on this division of the road for years. The train was heavily loaded with passengers. many of them stu dents coming to the university, and It seems almost a miracle that only six passengers were injured and only enc of these seriously.
 w. J. Nelson, travelling man of Fort Smith, was badly brusied around the shoulders and spine and is in a serious condition. He was taken back to Fort Smith last night. It is sup posed that the tender jumped the track, the trucks striking the ties midway between the rails. When this car struck a small trestle it knocked it down and completely put it out of commission. The other cars jumped the ravine, about 70 feet wide, and striking the embankment on the north siGe, some turned turtle and slid over the ground for 30 feet, the trucks of ali having been knocked off.

VETERANS TELL STORIES.

Some interesting characters turn up at the treasurer's office in the course of the year, but none more so than many of those who call to collect their warrants on the pension fund. These include many old soldiers who came to Arkansas in pioneer days and some of them can relate interesting stories of the "early days"
 One of the callers at the leash win dow stated that when he came to Little Rock the first time there wasn't a house on Main street from Third to Seventh, or in what is now the busiest retail section of the city, Furthermore, he declared that he and his companions used to hunt wild tur- key out on the grounds where the new Capitol now stands and which, prior to the erection of the capitol, were occupied by the old penitentiary walls.
 Still another veteran who dropped around to get his pension very agree ably surprised State Treasurer Crock cit by saying that he came to Arkan- sas on the same Arkansas river boat that brought MT. Crocket's father to this state.

ALL AROUND
 STATE CAPITOL Secretary Hodges Has Com pleted Legislative Acts for
 Distribution.
MASS MEETING IS BOOSTED
Governor Urges Attendance and Says Farmers Should Not Rush
 to Market This Fall.

Secretary of State Hodges has an- nounced that the general acts of the last legislature are out and ready for distribution. The general public will be supplied by sale.
 Members of the legislature are en- titled to copies of the acts gratuitous- ly, while other persons are charged $1.50 per volume, which is supposed to cover the cost of printing and bind ing.
 In about a month MT. Hodges ex- poets to be ready to distribute the special acts. These are being bound under separate cover, and as the vol ume is much larger than the general acts, it requires more time to publish and bind.
