INSTALL SUCTION FANS

Two large suction fans have
been purchased for the Royal
theatre and will be installed
In time for use at the show
Saturday night. Keeping the
house cool is the greatest
problem the show has had to
contend with, but this problem
will perhaps be solved when
the suction fans are installed.
These fans are placed oppo-
site an opening in the wall,
near the ceiling, and pull the
heated air out of building
The fans are capable of dis
placing several thousand cubic
feet Of air per minute, and the
two that are being installed in
the theatre building will dis
place the. entire atmospheric
content of the building every
six minutes.
The company from whom
the suction fans were purchas-
ed have given assurances that
the two suction fans, working
in connection with the wall
fans already installed, will
keep the building cool, even in
the hottest weather.

LITTLE GIRLS ARM
CUT OFF BY TRAIN

Searcy, June 25.-Her arm
cut off by a train, nine-year-
old girl picked up the ampu-
tated member, together with
her dinner pail, and walked
$50 yards before she fell, ex-
hausted from loss of blood.
She was picked up and put on
a truck at the depot, the flow
of blood staunched with gun
ny sacks, and when a doctor
arrived she was asking for
something to eat. The acct
dent occurred at Higginson, a
log train on the Rock Island
tracks running over the girl,
who was waiting for a passen-
ger train on the Missouri Pa
eific and did not see the other
train. One of her feet was al
SO crushed, three of her toes
being cut off. Though the Cir

NEWPORT MAN FINDS
BIG METEOR IN TREE

Finding meteor in the
forks of a tree was the expert
ence of Shorty Scheiss, living
in the outer edge of Newport.
The meteor weighs about 3 1-2
pounds and had burned a large
hole in the tree about the size
of a half bushel measure and is
now on exhibit in the Harry
Brandenburg show windows
and can be seen there.
The meteor was sent to Lit
tie Rock to the mining experts
for assay, not being able to as
certain just what the minerals
were that made up the meteor
it was sent to New York for
final assay, which offices gave
cut the information that it
contained a large percent of
gold and iron.
Governor Brough has asked
that the meteor be sent to the
state capitol and placed in the
display rooms there. 1t is not
known what disposition will be

Efforts TO arrange a meeting be-

fereas on the Mapes bill abolishing

An unusual parliamentary situation
now exists. The Mapes bill, when
eliminated the halfand-half hscal
plan and provided in it's stead a sSs-
tenn whereby the Federal Government
would be called upon TO make, up any
dinerential between District revenues
apd District appropriation as passed
by Congress, was enacted by the
House at the last session. The SEN
ate District Committee refused 10 ac-
cept the bill, and Senator Jones
brought in a substitute which contin-
ued the half and-half plan with GER
tain notifications.
The adjournment of CONFESS last
June prevented any progress toward
an agreement at that time. NOW Inc
House committee apparently is acti',
once more in support OF the orlsl maj
Mapes measure. Senator Dillingham;
acting chairman OF the Senate District
Committee, will try to bring the con-
forces together as soon as possible.
The absence OF Congressman ben
Johnson from the city may cause the
House conferees to ask for post

to senators, there Is no prospect that
