MAIT ARRIVAL
 OF BRIDGE EXPERT
Bridge Over White River Will Soon Be Brought Before
 Mass Meeting.

The idea that a bridge over White River was too big pro-
 position for Newport has been thoroughly discredited and our citizens are aroused upon the is- sue, alive to the great advan- tages to follow and confident that now is the time to accom- plish the project.
 Mr. s. Heinemann has been the active head of this move
 1nent and subscriptions pledged to him aggregate about $25,000. | The remainder will be forthcom- ing at the proper time. A Kan
 as City bridgeman, who went
 over the ground here Wednes-
 day, estimates the cost, not in cluding draw, to be from $35, 1000 to S40,O0O. This was much less than. the amount popularly esti- mated and is a further incentive to the local advocates. of this
 improvement.
 Albert Michie of the Vim cennes Bridge Company of Vim
 cennes, Indiana is expected here
 any day and will make an esti- ymate of the bridges cost. A Smass meeting of the citizens will
 Joe called while he is in the city
 end much popular interest
 kroused.
 A bridge over White River
 should take in $5,0OO to $6,O0O { every year in tolls and if the
 bridge can be constructed for
 $75,O0O, the upkeep being small,
 stock should pay 5 to s per cent interest on the investment.
 Surely our men of means will come to the aid of the city in
 ,xtending it's trade territory and insuring it's growth and the increase in valuation of all their other interests here.

 The mahogany fixtures are elegant of themselves. The rear of the store is entirely separat- ed by a handsome prescription case with doors upon either side and the cases about the side walls are of the most modern design. Upon the left as one en- ters near the middle of the store is is provided rest rest corner wit with Ii leather seats and the entire cen- ter of the store back to the pre- scription case is reserved for ta- bles at which the fountain drinks will be served.
 With a cigar case of the latest model and a cashiers stand and window, the store is given a very metropolitan air and is certainly a credit to the enter prise of the owner, MT. w. w. Ddtton.
 To the rear of the store, a brick warehouse has been pro- vided for surplus stock and this is connected with the store by overhead arch.
