The Star is a firm believer in at tractive window advertising as well as that in the columns of a news paper. Anything that makes store more attractive is good advertising for both store and city. People come where they know their wants can be fulfilled and patronage can only be obtained through newspa- per and show window publicity.
 It is the intention of this paper to make special mention of at tractive window displays made by Mena merchants.

SCRATCH MAY CAUSE DEATH.
We'll Known Veterinary Poisoned
 While Operating on Horse.

Ft. Smith, Oct. f3.-W. A. Fry, we'll known veterinary surgeon, is lying at his home, 5ii North Sew enth street, at the point of death as result of infections of blood poisoning and pyemia that set in as result of a scratch on his right arm, received two weeks ago while operating on a horse.
 At the time of the scratch Dr. Fry thought little of the wound, but complications set in last week, causing him much worry. It was not, however, until Friday that the abcesses caused by the pyemia be- gan to spread over the right side of his body. At noon today the att tending physicians gave out little hope for the patient surviving the day.
 Dr. Fry came here about year ago from Rogers. He was formerly assistant state veterinarian.

CARS co THROUGH BRIDGE.
Broken Flange on Wheel Sends
 Thirteen Into Ditch.

A broken flange on the wheel of a freight car on south bound train Saturday morning caused thirteen cars to go through bridge at Will ton, near Ashdown.
 The accident occurred just as the engine and six cars had cleared a 3OO-foot trestle. The seventh car left the track, and the force caused the structure to give away, pre- cipitating thirteen cars into the lowland spanned by the trestle, stacking them like cards. The cars were loaded with coal, oil and cot ton.
 A temporary bridge was con structed, and it was necessary to drive new piling before a perma- nent bridge could be built.
