the body against infection, and is

the huge artificial nose, which served
no useful purpose, we're survivals Of

evil spirits which could be frightened
away if the physicians appearance
was sufficiently terrifying.-New York

PRIZE WINNING MULE TEAM IN BRIDGE
 COLLAPSE.

The finest pair of mules in Pulaski county, owned by T. A. Bowman and winners of first prizes at the county and State fairs last fall, went down in the wreck of the bridge over Worth en Bayou, at the foot of Lincoln avenue, in Little Rock, last Sat- urday afternoon. Two wagons heavily loaded with sulphate of iron, being hauled to the water works plant, north of Pulaski Heights, were driven on the bridge at the same time, caus- ing the structure to collapse. One of the mules was so badly hurt that it had to be shot. The other was seriously injured, as was also one of the negro driv- CTS. The wagons were wrecked and their contents spilled in the bayou. A temporary bridge IS being constructed, under the su- pervision of the city engineer and street commissioner.

Auto Plunges Over Country Club
 Hill Killing Mrs. Sibley Ward

While returning to Little Rock from a midnight ride through Pulaski Heights and the Country Club grounds, a large Buick car being driven by Mrs. Sibley Ward of 1877 Broad way, accompanied by her hus- band, blew out a tire and plunged from the narrow and steep roadway forty feet into a ravine, crushing Mrs. Ward to death and seriously injuring Ward, who lay unconscious for several hours. On recovering, the injured man summoned aid from the Country Club, and the lifeless body of Mrs. Ward was taken from under the machine about daylight. The place of the accident was on the hill midway between the Country Club grounds and Lincoln ave- nue pike.
