COUNCIL PLANS
 FOR STREET WORK
Eavors Purchase of Seven Ton Roller and Carload of
 Metal Culverts.

Recommendation that the council purchase carload of metal culverts and @ gasoline propelled seven-ton
 roller, with which to make necessary and permanent repairs to the dirt streets of the city, was tie substance of the accomplishments yesterday of
 the executive session of the city coun-
 cil, sitting as committee of the whole for discussion of the budget for the ensuing year.
 Two members of the council were out of the city, and on that account final action was not taken on the bud get as a whole. The absentees were Aldermen Hut and Veil.
 The condition of the citys finances were considered from all view points, and the necessities of the several de-
 psrtments were discussed. It was
 apparent from the talks made by the
 members of the aldermanic board that the new council is starting i'll
 with the determination to exert every
 effort to do number of things bad ly needed, and at the same time to keep within the revenues.
 Improvements and repairs to the SLICClS apparently 'Wao CoHoluClCu e'o , the most important question before the council, although the attention Of the body was also directed to the need of making some improvements to the sewer system, The recom-
 mendations for the culverts and the
 street roller indicate that the work on the streets will be prosecuted with vigor. and that the dirt streets will
 receive improvements of kind that will be of lasting benefit.
 For some months Mayor Bloom has
 been trying to arrange means of purchasing the culverts, to take the place of ditches in certain places where the street is washed off at al-
 most every heavy rain. The culverts can carry off the water and the street
 be maintained in passable condition es-
 pecially with the heavy roller to be
 used on the streets after they have been graded. :;

THOUSANDS SEE
 THRILLING FEAIS
H. H. Gardiner, Human Flv.n Scales Citizens Bank
 and Senyard Buildings.

H. H. Gardiner, yciept "The Human Fly" thrilled two big crowds of Pine Bluff people yesterday forenoon, by climbing the outside walls of two tall buildings, without aid or assist ance afforded by ladders, ropes or other such mf ans.
 Gardner made hls climb by using his fingers and toes, which are re- markable strong and well developed, and which were made the more valu- able because of his possession of a cool head and 2 steady nerve. Many Of those who watched him appeared much more worried over his perfor- nance than was the performer him. self.
 Gardner's first climb was up the front of the Senyard building, as Fourth and Main streets. Because the smooth facade of this building af- forded no finger hold" or "toe hold" Gardiner was compelled to climb with the aid of windows and acknowledges. More than 1900, h IS Estimated, saw him pull the trick. '
 Gardiner immediately drove to the Citizens bank building, where, with out apparent trouble, he climbed up as far as the cornice going hand over hand up the wall near the corner, for all the world like man on per pendicular ladder. At the coraice however, he was baked. He decend- ed the wall to the second story, and announced that because the cornlce projected AS inches, he would be compelled to make the climb at another part of the wall, thus to be aided by the convex form of the ornaments at the top of the top win dow. This he did, and by strength and agility he was able to grasp the cornice and draw himself to the rooi of the building, amidst the cheers and applause of the crowd of 2,000 or more men, women and children who watched him.
 Gardiner is advertising Satan-et. a new soft drink, for which the Valley Drug store is distributing agent.

The highly organized, finely strung

The peace of mind, the mental poise

only possible when the sensitive feminine

IA GARB OF ~ TEMBER
MORN NEGRO NAN POSED
A WHITE CITIZEN DISAPPROVED
OF HIS ATTIRE AND SENT A
LOAD OF SHOT AT HIM.


Sunday morning Will Wilburn, a
negro who lives in one of the two
negro houses on east church street,
was the cause of some little excite
ment among the citizens of that pop
ular neighborhood.
Wilburn, evidently not yet recov-
cred from a Saturday night jag, dis
ROBBED and appeared in mis- front
doorway in the pose of September
Morn MIR. s. A. Brim saw him, and
not approaching his artistic efforts
in front of his home grabbed stick
and a shot gun and went out deter
mined to wreck the exhibit, In the
meantime Wilbur had dressed, and
was jauntily sauntering out when
Mr.. Brim appeared on the scene of
action. Mr.. Brim, chagrined at the
loss of an opportunity of getting hold
of the negro with the stick while
garbed in natures attire, fired his
gun in the direction of the negro,
lust to see how much rabbit there
was in him. as he expressed it.
Well, there was some rabbit in
this ebony-hued September Morn, !"
for at the crack of the gun he lit a
shuck," and bounded away to safety
with a speed that would make rab-
bit ashamed of himself.
The two negro houses in this pop
ular neighborhood have long been
an eye-sore to those who live in this
otherwise delightful section of the
city
