J Morrilton, Oct. 3.-Losses from the destruction of the Morrilton com press plant remained unchanged to- day at $2,00O,00O, the estimate first announced last night.
 Morrilton, Oct. 3.-Lightning strik- ing one of the three sections of the plant of the Morrilton Compress Com pany last night at 6:45 started a blaze which destroyed two entire sections, housing 10000 bales of cotton, and caused a property loss estimated at $2,000,000. Paul Hargis and George Scranton, volunteer fire fighters, were struck by brick from falling smoke stack and Hargis received injuries which for a time were thought fatal.
 The heavy bolt of lightning hit storage shed No and it was only a matter of minutes before the sheds were in flames which gained rapidly over the efforts of the fire company, aided by a heavy downpour of rain. About 5000 bales of cotton in the east shed and the building housing the press itself were saved Nearby plants also threatened for a time did not suffer material damage.
 Hargis was on top of one of the sheds when he received his injury. He was struck by brick from the big smokestack and was knocked to the Y-ailroad track hollow
 Adjustment of losses with insur- ance companies was started today by Lesser-Goldman Newberger, Rain water Brothers, and J. J. and o. o. Scroggin, principal owners of the cotton destroyed by the fire.
 At prices prevailing here Satur- day, the cotton was worth about $115 bale, making the loss on the cot ton alone approximately $1,840,O00 Other losses sustained by the plant increase the total damage to nearly $2,000,000.
 The plant was one of the largest and most modern in the state. It was built 15 years ago by c. c. Bur row, Rainwater Brothers and J. J. and O. o. Scroggins. It was sold several years ago to the Lesser Goldman Company. E. R. Wade, a relative of Judge John W. Wade of Little Rock, is manager of the plant.

A GOOD SHOW COMING
Rhoda Royals World Toured Three.
Itlng Shows BILLED For Z
Maysvllle.

The advent OF the Rhoda Royals
greatest shows on Friday, October Z,
Will 1t is said mark an epoch In the
matter Of tented amusements In Mays
Vile. That this show will present the
biggest and finest street pageant
Maysville has yet witnessed, is assert
ed without qualification. That the
show company numbers more show
performers and Of better order Of
merit than have heretofore been gath
cred together under one management,
Is also stated positively. Thousands
of dollars cash were expended last
winter In accommodating new features
to add to the glories Of the "Rhoda
Royal Greatest Shows"
The menagerie is said to be very
complete one containing the finest
collection Of rare wild beasts ever on
the coast. The newspapers all along
the line speak highly of this entertain
ment, and the small boy as well as
those older folks who will be delighted
again with the feats of the many male
and female performers, the handsome
horses, the wonderful exhibition of
wild beasts in the circular steel cage,
the marvellous aerial acts, and the ex-
citing races on the hippodrome track.
Exchanges are all unanimous in prais-
ing the courtesy of Royals employees
while handling the immense crowds
and finding seats for late corners.
The reputation of Rhoda Royal for
faithfully carrying out all his advance
promises and for dealing fairly with
The public in all things, affords posi-
i've assurance that his show will
eclipse anything of like nature seen
here before.

gong TEN Im1ies m their mrecnon.
From his cabin some two hours later
they set out afoot in the darkness.
Y Going home is the end of all jour-
neys," said Abe as they tramped along.
"Did it ever occur to you that every
live creature has its home? The fish Of
the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts
of the field and forest, the creepers In
the grass, all go home. Most of them
turn toward it when the day wanes.
The call Of home is the one voice heard
and respected all the way down the
line of life. And, ye know. the most
wonderful and mysterious thing in na-
ture is the power that fool animals
have to 60 home through great dis
tances, like the turtle that swan from
the Bay of Biscay to his home off Van
Dieman's Land. Somehow, coming over
in ship, he had blazed trail through
the painless deep more than ten thou
sand miles long. It's the one -miracu-
lous gift-the one call that's irresist-
ible. Don't you hear it now? l never
lie down in the darkness without
thinking of home when am away
'And it's hard to change your home
when you're wonted to it," said Harry.
ayes, its little like dying when you
! pull up the roots and move. It's been
hard on your folks"
This remark brought them up to the
greatest of mysteries. They tramped
in silence for a moment. Abe broke
in upon 1t with these words:
II reckon there must be another
home somewhere to 60 to after we
have broke the last camp here, and q
kind of a birds compass to help us
find it, I reckon we'll hear the call OF
1t AS we grow older"
He stopped and took off his hat and
looked up at the stars and added:
IF 1t isn't so I don't see why the
long procession Of life keeps harpinl
on this subject Of home. I think sex
the point Of the whole thing. 1t ISM
the place or the furniture that make!
it home, but the love and peace that''
in 1t. BY and by our home isn't herr
any more. It has moved. Our mind'
begin to beat about in the undiscov
cred countries looking for 1t. Some
how we got it located-each man fol
himself"
For another space they hurried alonl
without speaking. .-.
II tell you, Harry, whatever a larg
number of intelligent folks hav
agreed upon for sosne generations
so-if they have been allowed to d
A their own thinking" said Abe. "It'
about the only wisdom there is."
4 He had sounded the keynote of tn
new Democracy.
So, under. the lights of HEAVIER
speaking in the silence Of the night o
impenetrable mysteries, they joul
neyed on toward the land Of plenty.
"It's as still as graveyard" Harr
whispered when they had climbed tn
bluff by the mill long after midnigf
and were near the little village.
