LIKELY To MOVE
TO Pine BLUFF
Representatives Of ~Wiscon-
sin Company Here Yester-
day Investigating.

Two representatives of a big Wis
consin manufacturing concern spent
yesterday in Pine Bluff, studying con-
ditions here, and gathering data
which will be used by them in de-
termining whether or not the plant
of the company will be removed to
Pine Bluff within the next two or
three months.
Letters have been exchanged be-
chamber of commerce for several
weeks past, and the visit of the two
representatives is the elimination OF
this correspondence. They spent
most of the day yesterday with Secre-
tary e. B. Bloom of the chamber Of
commerce, and will return within
the next few days for a. further con-
ference, and for information relative
to railroad rates on the finished pro-
duet Of the company.
Because of the fact that other cities
in this section may desire to influ
ence this company to locate else
where. the name of the company is
not being divulged, except to the few
persons who nave met the representa-
tives. According to their statements,
the company ships between 800 and
500 carloads of product each year,
and may even ship more than that
amount. if the plant is moved to
Pine Bluff.
1--WE have shown the visitors that
we have ample supplies of their raw
material right here" said Mr.. Bloom
yesterday. "They want some data as
to railroad rates, which is now being
gathered, and l am of the impression
that upon the matter of these rates
will depend whether or not the COM
pany will move it's plant and head
quarters to Pine Bluff"

BLANCHARD DOES
NOT PROPOSE. TO
TAKE FRANCHISE
Because of Irregularities,
Council Expected to Re-
Enact Measure;

Definite announcement has been
made by. George B. Blanchard. presi-
dent of the Hot Springs, Pine Bluff &
Mississippi railway, that the railway
will not. accept the Nordinance recent
" adopted by the city council, grant
ing the railway franchise to use GER
tain streets of the city -,
The announcement was made also
that the ordinance will again be in
troduced into the city council, and
there is no doubt entertained that it
viii, again pass, although 1t may be
that opponents to the measure will
compel it to go through the regular
form of getting each of it's three
readings at separate regular meet
ing. of the council. Under such cir
cunstances, the ordinance, il 1t is in
troduced at the council meeting next
Monday night, will not be finally pass
ed until the third regular meeting,
which will be on Monday, June 10.
The belief is held generally how
ever, that because the officials of the
railway company are now assured OF
the final passage of the franchise or
dinance, they will proceed with their
preliminary arrangements for the
building of the road into this city,
ordering their material and obtaining
options on the realty along the route
Of the road after it enters the city
limits.
In letter to Secretary e. B. Bloom
of the chamber Of commerce, Mr..
Blanchard states that he expects to
reach Pine Bluff Friday, and that aft
er his arrival he will take up mat
tiers relative to the franchise ordi-
nance with the officials of the city
government and others interested.

IRISH REBELLION. QUELLED.

What seems to have been an un.
timely and ill-considered move on the
part of at least a portion of the Irish
people to force a separation of that peo-
pie from the English, which was an
nounced in the dispatches a few days
ago, seems to have come to an end
quickly. The insurrection started in
Dublin and spread quickly to adjoin-
ing counties, and there has been some
pretty fierce fighting, but the British
troops aided by the loyal Irish constab-
ulary, according to Tuesdays dis
patches, have evidently gained practical
control of the situation, and one more
Irish rebellion, no doubt fostered and
abetted by German influences, has gone
into history as a failure.
On Monday official announcement
was made in London that all the rebel
leaders in Dublin had surrendered, and
that large number of the prisoners
taken will be sent to England.

too, takes hand in its designing, clev-
erly introducing each season little in
novatiOns which make for comfort,
convenience and becomingness. As the
home is the woman 8 business, the house
dress marks her as efficient or ineffi
cient.
The novelty cottons and linens are
effectively used in these dresses, a fig
ured material being trimmed with a
plain, and vice VERSA. The breakfast
dress illustrated is fashioned of dam
tily figured wolfe, with ribbon edged
cape collar of plain white wolfe. The
house dress, which could quite as well
serve for street frock, developed in
serge or linen, is fashioned of dark blue
madras, trimmed with bands of white
wolfe. Both designs are simple, prac-
teal and becoming.
