After the arrival Of Towards brigade,
Mcdowell for the last time pressed up
the slope to the plateau. forced back the
Confederate line and regained possession
of the Henry and Robinson houses and OF
the lost batteries. But there were no
longer cannoneers TO man or horses to
move these guns that had done SO much.

Until then they had fought wonderfully
We'll for raw troops. There were no
fresh forces on the field to support or
encourage them, and the men seemed to
be seized simultaneously by the convic-
ton that 1t was no use to do anything
more and they might as we'll start home.
Cohesion was lost, the organizations,
with some exceptions, being disintegrated,
and the men quietly walked off. There
was no special excitement except that

to stop men who paid little or no atten-
ton to anything that was said.

dition and ready to fight as long as there

done in great disorder across Bull run.
There was no panic, in the ordinary
meaning of the word. until the retiring
soldiers, guns, wagons, congressman and

The operations OF the 18th confirmed
Mcdowell in his opinion that with his
raw troops the Confederate position
should be turned instead of attacked in
front On the night of the 18th the
haversacks of his men were empty, and
had to be replenished from the provision
wagons, which were late in getting up.
Nor had he yet determined upon his
point or plan of attack While resting
and provisioning his men, he devoted
the 10Th and 10th to careful examina

.DRYS OBJECT
 10 CHAMP ACNE Two Bottles of Hot Springs Water Were Sent For
 Occasion. THEY WENT ASTRAY Now Investigations are Being Discuss ed by City Council and Busi- ness Men.
THEY WENT ASTRAY

Hot Springs, Jan. 17.-Hawe the ] vets put one over on the 'drys' in connection with the launching of the battleship Arkansas, which took place Saturday in Camden, N J.?
 This is the momentous question of the day in this city. Ministers de- plored the fact that the eGod-giyen water" from the hot springs of this resort was not used n place of cham- pagne, and their cry, it is said was taken up by colleagues in the East Sunday. Why was it, is asked, that not one of the two bottles which had been carefully sealed, decorated with 1 Old Glory and carefully addressed did not arrive in time for the chr st. ening Two bottles were sent to meet just such situation Seere tary George Bedding, in whose happy dome of thought was conceived by the idea of substituting the hot water of the spr ngs here for the usual cham pagne, sent the bottled water to the different addresses, but each package, it appears. got lost on the way. It would be impossible to convince woman's temperance advocate that there wasn't something crooked in the failure of the water to reach it's destination in ample time for the launch ng.
 ] Hot Springs had banked heavily on the water being used Business nen were ''dee-lighted' as the Sage cf Sagamore Hill is wont to exclain, with the prospects of the country wide advertising this c.ty would get when the booze was discarded and a genuine Arkansas product was fea- tured instead. There is 'twailing and gnashing of teeth" here now. Investigations are be ng talked of. The city council and the Business Mems League may take the matter up. The atmosphere Is fairly crowded with runors- Secretary Bedding and Harry Myers. superintendent of the government reservation n this city are now in Washington on official business They will, it is expected, make an investigation and endeavor to ascertain why the hot water ia led to materialize.
 In the intervening tme the vets are smiling broadly and saying noth- ing.

 Dr Caldwel was quick to interrupt the speaker, declaring that he had stated that he was the only paid of ficital of the Board of Trade and would not speak as an executive Of ficer of that body, but as a private cit zen.
 Mir Sorre1ls continued declaring that Dr. Caldwell had said that he had insulted the Board of Trade He wanted to assure Dr. Caldwell that he meant no reflection on him in making the statement of the evening previous, but added that the secretary of the commercial organization must have taken census of the meInber- ship of the Board of Trade to aseer- ta n that it. had been insulted The speaker branched off on the commis- sion form of government matter, after being caut ened by Chairman Toney to refrain from personalities. but was soon dealing in sarcasm again. in which he declared that the Board of Trade had built 1000 railroads on the Boston mounta ns and discovered a salt mine.
 The speaker was again interrupted when Walton Seymour appealed to the chair and asked whether the meeting was for the purpose of dis cussing the commission form of gov ernment or something else.
 MT Sorrells replied that Dr. Cald- we'll had brought the subject up, had criticised his remark and that he was only reply ng to what he had said At this juncture Dr. Caldwell arose and asked to be permitted to retire from the meeting There was gen eral movement for the door at the same instant and after a motion to adjourn prevailed the small crowd left the building.

POULTRY NOTES.

Give plenty of oyster shell and lake grit before them all the time. | Make a scratching pen and keep il filled with straw and leaves about foot deep. Scatter the grain in the pen the first thing n the morning 10 give them plenty of exercise.
 Feed mash and green feed about 1.-Two every day. Mash ia the lnacn- ing will make your chickens lazy.
 By al means See that they can get dust bath every day.
 Rolled oats make an ideal food for the baby chicks.
 Do not feed much corn in the sum- mer time. It makes fat Wet feed n wooden troughs nearly always produces bowel trouble.
 The best way to sell the skinned milk is in the form of tender broilers.
 If the young chickens show signs Of gapes change them to other ground at once.
 MIX should always be fed in metal pans that can be washed and scalded afterward
 The hot sun will kill very young chickens. They should always have plenty of shade.
 Hard boiled eggs chopp1i n-. and mixed with bran make a good feed for incubator chicks.
 Wet feeding is going out of favor. and why shouldn't it? Natural food for young chicks is dry.
 Iet-uc efastened to the sides of the brooder is relshed by the youngsters and it is good for them.
 With large flocks. hopper feeding is doubtless labor saver, but the small flock will do better fed from the hand
 ''nless the brooder is kept thor oughly clean and given sunshine and air the youngsters will develop tub erculosss-
 We believe more young chickens die from overcrowding in breeders and GOODS at night than from any other cause.

Yes, Pine Bluff wants a eommissi 7n form of Government and will have it. It's the only thing for city of this size and will help Pine Bluff to blos- som like rose.

Jordan, who was recently nominated for mayor of Pine Bluff and who was the only candidate in the recent election to come out openly and declare himself in favor Of the commission form government, has given the subject much thought anf will undoubtedly urge Pine Bluff tt take it on after assuming his new duties.

The young hoodlums who 80 bru-
 tally murdered a negro minstrel at Benton Friday night ought to be in- dicted and given long terms in the state penitentiary There might have been some cause for their attack on the negro m nstrei troupe but their act was inexcusable If Benton had prohibited the visit Of the negro min- strel aggregation the trouble would have not been recorded. Benton is and has always been an anti-negro town and the negroes should not have been permitted to appear there.
