1 here are four piano manufacturers in nhe United St atos
and only four, who have made 100,000 pianos each. The
houses which are now proudly celebrating this achievement
ate thcCbickering,the Fischer, the Steiuway and the Kimball.
It will no doubt be of interest to know 'he length of
time it has taken each of these distinguished companies to
produce 100,000 pianos, which is as follows :
The Chicken ng, 80 Years
The Fischer, 63 Years
1 he Stein way, 50 Years
The Kimball, 20 Years
°f these companies the Kimball is the only organ manu
facturer, and in addition to the pianos has also made more
than 250,000 reed organs and 4,400 large pipe organs.
In twenty years time, therefore, the Kimball Company
has far outstripped all other makers in output in this or any
other country.
I his wonderful achievement, when coupled wiib the
artistic merit of the Kimball, as attested by so large a num
ber of great artists and musicians of Europe and Ameiica,
completes a record of facts which is indisputable, and makes
plain the verdict.

Fight With Negro Kidnapers.
A dispatch from Fort Smith says
the kidnaping of a voting white
girl and the killing of one of a par
ty who tried to rescue her are
crimes charged to a gang ef negroes,
who took refuge on an island in
the middle of the Arkansas river
sixteen miles west of the above city.
Two farmers who were on a hunt
landed on the island and accident
ally ran into a camp where there
were two negroes and a girl about
twelve years of age. The white
men made some inquiries about the
girl and the negroes stated that she
was the daughter of a white man
who was traveling with them, and
that he had gone to Fort Smith
for some groceries. The negroes
would uot let the girl take part in
the conversation and this increased
the suspicions of the white men. A
watch was kept on the negroes for
two days, and, no white man ap
pearing, a party of farmers decid
ed to make a further investiga
tion. As they neared the island
the party was fired upon by the
negroes, and a sharp fight followed
in which one of the white men, bv
the name of Boland, was killed.
During the light the little girl es
caped from the negroes and ran to
the white men. The girl stated
that she had been stolen from her
home near Fort Gibson. The girl
was taken to Muldrow. When news
of the affair spread p— - from Fort
Smith, Muldrow and Fort Gibson
went to the island and arrested
John Gloom, Manee Golden, Bill
Hicks and a wliite woman, who
claims to he the wife of the latter.
Bloom, Golden and Hicks are ne
groes. The child who was the
cause of the trouble, tells conflict
ing stories about her origin.
Killed in Fist Fight.
Jim Collins, a barkeeper, killed
Mike Quindlass, a gambler, with a
sledge-hammer blow with his fist
m a Little Bock saloon. The men
had a difficulty a few hours before
the killing, when Quindlass had
Collins arrested. With some friends
t'ollins was standing at the bar
taking a drink when Quindlass en
tered. With the remark. "You had
ine arrested, did you?” Collins step
ped up to Quindlass and struck him
several vicious blows, one just be
hind the ear, which felled him to
the floor. Before the spectators
realized what was happening,
Quindlass breathed his last. After
an examination the coroner stated
that the man’s death was due to
the blow behind the ear, which pro
duced a hemorrhage. Collins and
Quindlass were both formerly rail
road men, but neither had worked
at their trade for some time. The
trouble was brought about by drink.
Think State Able to Pay.
There is some opposition among
members of the legislature to the
proposition for an extra session to
he held for the purpose of making
the r.eee'-ary appropriation for the
deaf-mute institute, who take the
position that the state is amply
able to pay her sonants fer ser
vices rendered; that if they are not
worth the salary of $<i per day they
had better remain at homo, besides
it would work a hardship on many
who are not able to stand the bur
den of their own expenses during
the session, they argue.
One Death From Poison.
Mrs. C. W. Hankins and her
children and two guests, Miss Wil
son and Miss Whitlow, were pois
oned at Warren by eating apple
float. Miss Wilson died after lin
gering for nearly a week. The at
tending physician states that the
eorrosion in the freezer in which
the float was frozen caused the sick
ness of the victims. Miss Wilson
resided at Hamburg.
Tucker Granted Bail.
Guy B. Tucker, who killed John
F. J’owell at El Dorado, was ad
mitted to hail in the sum of
000 by Judge Lea of Pulaski circuit
court upon a writ of habeas corpus.
Tucker left El Dorado for Little
Rock shortly after the killing and
remained in charge of the warden
of the penitentiary until bail was
granted. He will not return to El
Dorado until his trial comes up.
Veterans Invited.

Mystery at Harrison.
The residence of Mrs. A. Ililde
brandt at Harrison was destroyed
by lire under mysterious circum
stances. Several days previous
Mrs. llildebrandt, who lives alone,
was found in her home, bound
hand and foot and gauged, and she
| claims to have been assaulted by a
white man and a negro. When her
house was burned it was thought
i she perished in the flames, but af
ter a search the woman was found
; m h r barn, bound and gagged. The
! officers are investigating the mys
tery.
Weak Minded Burglar.
Lee Aubry, a weak-minded white
man, was arrested at Hope after
1 breaking into a church and two
stores. In order to gain entrance
to the buildings the man broke
large window panes. Aubrey was
recently arrested in Little Rock for
breaking a large plate glass front
of a grocery store, but the officers
considered him of unsound mind
and provided him with a railroad
ticket to Texarkana, where he
claims to have relatives.
Must Stand Examination.
The government has ordered that
physicians proscribing for patients
at Hot Springs taking the hot wa
ter baths must stand an examina
ition, to be conducted by a member
| if the marine service. One of the
j objects of this order is to prevent
the practice of drumming, as no
physician resorting to this method
to secure patients will be allowed
to treat patients taking the baths.
Would-Be Assassin Killed.
Turner Hardin, a white black
smith at a logging camp near Port
land, shot and killed a negro, who
| was lying in wait for him behind a
tree. Hardin got word that the
negro was in waiting for him, and
surprised him bv taking a different
i route, coming upon him unawares.
Appeal to Public.
The historical committee of the
Arkansas division of Confederate
veterans have decided to appeal to
the public for contributions in or
der to raise funds to defray the
expense of completing the roster of
Arkansas soldiers who fought in
the Confederate army.
Compress Burned.
The Camden compress and a
large warehouse were destroyed by
lire. In the compress were stored
wagons, buggies, machinery and a
few bales of cotton, and none of

the flames. The loss will be in the
neighborhood of $100,000, and
there was not a cent of insurance
on the 'compress or its contents.
