 Sleep.

Mrs M. l.. Bell, one of Pine Bluffs oldest and best beloved residents, quiletly passed into the eternal sleep at 1O:30 o'clock last night, at the rectory of Trinity church, where she had made her home for some time past
 Because of the lateness of the hour at which the Angel Death arrived, few except members of the family and intimate friends knew of the sad visi- |tation last night. General sorrow, on the part of all the people of the city. will be felt this morning, when the news becomes generally known. While Mrs. Bell has been i'll for two weeks past, her death occurred ath"~ suddenly last night. Members of the family were hurriedly summon ed when it was seen that death was near, but dissolution had occurred before al; of them could reach the bedside.
 Born in Pine Bluff in December Tn 1843, Mrs. Bell spent all her life Tn this city, except for period of about 1 five years when she was very young |girl, which time was spent in Mis- sissippi, the former home of her par- ents. She was Miss Van de Werker her parents having come from Mis- sissippi to Pine Bluff, of which they were pioneer settlers. Her mother died and was buried in this city. al- though her father died in Mississippi. 1 Mrs. Bell taught school here for many years, in the distant past. Many ! of those educated by her had pre- ceded her into the Great Beyond, but some yet remain who will sorrow at i her death. In 1862 she became the bride of William A. Lee, who was the editor of the Southern Vindicator and who died in 1868. In 1878 Mrs.

HEAVY ARTILLERY DUEL.
Big Guns Along Entire Front Hnrl
 Shot Without Apparent Result.

Paris, Nov. 4-The fury of the allied troops attacks has forced the Ger mans to withdraw entirely from their positions on the left bank of the Ysel, abandoning much war material and number of their big guns which were stuck in the mud.
 The inundation of the field, in which the Germans nave ',een conn lelled to operate, has made the,r position near the coast untenlblc. ard the failure of the attacks made in the Flemish bog, apparently has convihc- ed along the northern bank of the continuation of the offensive in this direction would be suicidal.
 The attacks are still being made on the French positions at Ypres, tut today the allies, by a forward move. ment, were able to drive toward Messa!ines, slightly to the east and south of Ypres, seven miles distant. The British and French troops mass ed along the northrr nbank of the river Lys and, by a sharp flankne movement, succeeded in bending in .. ward the left flank of the German army facing Ypres and establishing themselves in positions from which the violent counter attacks of the in- vaders failed to dislodge them.
 A heavy artillery duel ragged all along the front from the Flanders region around the great arc to the forest of Apremont, east of the Arlonne. The allies positions to the west of Lens and between the rivers Somme and rAndre were the targets of a particularly heavy cannonading by the German guns but the activity of the big guns was without result for either side.
 Nieuport is in ruins as a result of the repeated vigorous attacks and counter attacks Develed against it. The city has been forsaken long ago, only the bodies of the dead line the streets and the city is deserted even by the dogs. The battle of the sand dunes has been abandoned by the Germans, and 1t is reported now in will immediately enter upon his that q German retirement is looked for in the direction of Brussels n oss any day now.
