REV. AND MRS. H. A.
 STOWELL ARE HOME
During Summer Trip Met Former Pine Blutfian Who Was Caught
 In War Zone.

The Rev. and Mrs. H. A. Stowell have returned to the city after an absence of about a month. While away they visited friends in several Illinois and Missouri towns. They also made round trip, via the lakes to Buffalo, stopping while en route at Macinac, Detroit and other places of less importance.
 Among those whom they met while away was Frank Axe, now located at IrOntOn, Mo-, who was resident or Pine Bluff over twenty years ago and will be remembered by many of the older citizens. Mr. Axe is success ful newspaper man.
 While on the train they met Mir. and Mrs. Silva Heiman. MT. Heiman is a cousin of Mayor Simon Bloom, and before his marraige resided here. They were en route from Vienna, Austria, to their home in San Antonio. Mr. and Mrs. Heimann were present at the funeral service of the royal Austrian couple whose murder had much to do with precipitating the present European war. They remain cd in Austria until after war was de- Clared and ii was with much diff ficulty, excitement and expense that they won their way back to America.

EXTEND GOULD
 SOUTHWESTERN Chicago Capitalists to Take Over Line and Build to
 Cotton Belt.

Star City, Sept. 4-A. k. Smith, formerly of Gould, an empl6ye of the Gould Southwestern railroad, was in the city this week. He gave out the information that capitalists in Chi cago would soon take the Gould Southwestern out of the hands of the receiver and put it in good condition. Also, that it was their intention to extend it from Star City, which is now the terminal, to Rison and make connection with the Cotton Belt at that place. An extension from Gould to point on the Arkansas river is also contemplated.
 The Gould Southwestern went into the hands of receiver last January and l.. H. Rosenthal, of Gould, was appointed receiver and it has been operated by him since that time.
 If this road is extended to Rison or Fordyce, it will open up a fine tim bered country and will be paying investment from the time the trains begin to run. The extension from Gould to the Arkansas river will bring water freight rates in competi- tion with railroad rates from Mem- phis, St. Louis and other cities, thus giving the Gould Southwestern an advantage for this section. If both extensions are made, the road will be about 60 miles long.

HERRICK ON THE JOB
American Ambassador EndeayOrlng to Get C0untrymen Gut of France Before Conditions Become

Paris. Sept. 3.-Several hundred
 thousand men are at work under
 military engineers on an imense Id
 complicated system of entrenchmehts
 outside the city. Following the de
 partures of the civil government ol
 France to Bordeaux the military arm
 is in complete control of the city. Martial law prevails. The forts are
 fully manned with fresh troops. Only two gates are open.
 Beginning tonight no persons may leave or entel Paris between O'CLOCK in the evening and ) in the morning without a military passport. Auto mobiles may enter freely during the
 day, but cannot without permits. Pedestrains are permitted to pass without challenge through certain
 gates.
 It is announced that General Galli-
 enni will have supreme authority. Neither the general staff nor General Joffre, commanderin-chief of the
 French forces, will have any control over the governor-general. Paris Calm Under Strain. Although the city is placid, the
 people feel keenly the approach of the German army and are rapidly preparing for eventualitles. The ue-
 parture of the heads of the govern l ment is taken calmly, the move being recognized as one indicated by pru- dence.
 Bordeaux, 250 miles to the south west, will be in constant wireless | communication with Paris via the | Eiffel tower station.
 A large number of families left for | the west today taking with them house hold necessities. These refugees
 from the capital have been forced to make long tours for the reason that l the railroads are encountered With l military trains.
 Walter Burley Griffin, the Ameri- can artist who returned to Paris to- day from Nantes, said he observed a | beautiful sight along the road from l Paris to Orleans-an almost unbrok- en procession of automobiles loaded 1 with Parisians and their baggage.
 The railroad lines out of Paris to | the north have invariably ceased | running trains owing to fears of possible raids by German cavalry. At | the same time stream of refugees | from the north continue to pour in | to the city.
 Preparations are being made to send these right through to the south. | No more mouths to feed are desired than are absolutely essential ot the defense of the city.
