Sufragettes Try
To Blow Up the
Bank of England

LONDON. April 1.-THE suffra-
gettes made an abortive attempt to
blow up the Bank of England today
with a bomb. 1t was reported at first
that the bomb was a very dangerous
one, and that II IT had exploded 1t
would have wrecked the bank, caused
millions of dollars loss and probably
killed or injured a number OF persons,
Investigation by the police later
showed that the bomb was not a very
alarming affair, II consisted of a
pint milk can filed with two ounces
of gunpowder. and "A quantity Of hair

decorator was not working, and the
bomb could not have done much
harm to the bank Il 1t had exploded,

Both arties Are
Satisfied As the
Big Strike Is On

BRUSSELS, April 1.-THE first
day of the strike for universal man
hood suffrage passed off very peace
fully. Up to the present writing, the
strike has been in no way universal.
Both parties claim to be entirely sat
isfied with the situation. The clerical
newspapers say the strike has been a
complete fiasco. while the socialist
organs say it has been magnificent
triumph.
Estimates as to the number of those
on strike are very contradictory, but
perhaps zoo, 900 is near the mark.
Brussels has been so little affected
by the strike that 1t is difficult to be-
lieve that anything of the kind is on.
All the public services are running
as usual.
There have been a few isolated
cases of minor mischief. Three ma
chimes in leather factory here were
damaged. and some telegraph wires
were cut in the south,

MORE CASH FOR HIGH SCHOOLS

Little Rock. May 2S.-Secretary B. w. Torreyson of the State Board of Education is preparing to make the final payment of the state aid to high schools of the state. There will be about S20,000 to be distrib- uted. Not more than three or four of the il6 which received aid last year will fail to make a showing of compliance with the requirements of the law.
 Under the terms of the law all unexpended balances in the state aid fund on May 30 will be turned back into the common school fund, and there will this year be a bal ance of about S2,700 to be transfer red.
 The last payment of money for state aid was made dependent upon the school meeting the require ments for the equipment of lab oratory at a minimum cost of $75, and to provide a reference library to cost at least S25. Lists of appa- rature and books are required to be sent to the secretary of the board for approval.
 Greatly increased efficiency is expected from the state aided high schools next year.

TWO BOYS FINED.
Doyle and Everett Rowe Found
 Guilty of Violating Ordinance.

Doyle and Everett Rowe, l5 and r years old respectively, were "Wednesday found guilty in Police court of violating the ordinance which prohibits minors from buy ing or attempting to buy liquor at a saloon. There were several counts against each, but after a hearing all were for one cause and another, dismissed except one. They were each fined S5 and costs in the one case, a total of SS for each. The cases will be appealed to the Circuit court. The boys were released on bond.
 These cases were brought at the instance of the saloon keepers, who were convicted at the last term of Circuit court of selling liquor to these boys. City Attorney Prickett and B. J. Stuart were attorneys for the prosecution while Senator E. J. Lundy represented the defense.
 The boys are sons of Emmett Rowe, a prominent citizen of Rocky.

BANKERS DEATH
 HAD NO STING
To the Last, B. Sanders Walker, Macon Banker, Was Courageous If This Be Dying, None Need
 Fear It's TerrOrS," He Said.

Macon, Ga, May 22.-B. Sanders Walker, who took bichloride of mercury by mistake here last Wednesday, died at :35 o'clock this morning. He had not regained consciousness since early yesterday afternoon. His immediate family was at his bedside when he died.
 A characteristic utterance made just before he went into a state of partial coma late today illustrates the remarkable composure with which he has faced death.
 If 1 am dying" he said. then the sensation is not as it is gener- ally pictured. If this be dying, then none need fear it's terrors."
 One of the attending physicians made this statement:
 Tt is my conviction that MT. Walker is dying tonight. There has been no hopeful sign, nothing of alleviation noted, and he grows steadily weaker. If he is living by daylight I will be surprised"
 Efforts to ascertain the exact treatment Walker is being given tonight were unavailing. The phy- sicians declined to discuss this sub ject at all
 II is understood, however, that they have been in close communi- cation with physicians at the John Hopkins hospital in Baltimore.

 Tt is not hoped to correct all m eaualities. It is not possible Tor human agencies to accomplish any lining more than approximate equality in assessments. There IS no excuse. however, for inequall- lies due to noncompliance with the law on the part of assessing agents. .,
 The assessments of the several eounties are in such condition as to make it impracticable to deal with inc matter in detail in a general letter. Later on each county will he taken up and discussed fully with the assessor, either by letter or in person by one of the commls- sioners.

Beyond question the very best bird's-eye view ever made of Mena has just been completed by R. E. McCann, copy of which is shown in a window of the Farmers and Merchants Bank.
 The view was taken from the top of a tall pine on the side of Cardwell hill, north of the business section, and shows not only the en- tire central part of the city, but gives a grand view of the moun- tains beyond to a distance of ten or twelve miles, and the clouds in the sky overhead. The original of this photo was Sxi0 inches in size, and from this an enlargement was made. It is so clear and distinct that even the signs on buildings can be easily read.
