T here are four piano manufacturers in nhe United States jjj2
and only four, who have made 100,000 pianos each. The 32
houses which are now proudly celebrating this achievement -32
are theChickering, the Fischer, the Stein way and the Kimball. 32
It will no doubt bo of interest to know the length of 32
time it has taken each of these distinguished companies to 32
produce 100,000 pianos, which is as follows : 32
The Chickering, 80 Years
The Fischer, 63 Years
The Steinway, 50 Years
i he Kimball, 20 Years
Of 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.
This wonderful achievement, when coupled with the
" merit of the Kiinbuil. 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.

Levee Bonds Placed at Par.
The St. J-'rjincis levee board has
sold the $'-50,000 of its new bond
issue to the Tennessee Trust Com
pany of Memphis. The bonds were
bought at pur. The result of this
deal will be to praetieally finish the
construction work ttlon«r the entire
St. Francis leeve frontage. The
United States government has made
a special appropriation of $00,000
for the completion of the lower end
of the line from Cat Island to Pil
low Mound, on the St. Francis riv
er, which is the contemplated ter
minus of the system. The engi
ners in charge of that part of the
work estimate that it will take ap
proximately $150,000 to finish this
section. The remainder of the
money will ho appropriated next
year by the St. Francis levee board
and the work pushed to completion
with all possible dispatch.
The Need of a Reform School.
“Cocaine Charley,” a “dope”
fi( ml twelve years of age, made an
attempt to burn liis way out of the
Hot Springs jail by si tting lire to
the betiding. Jailor Spear was ab
sent at dinner and but for the fact
that the lire was discovered and the
jail door broken down. Charley
would have smothered to death.
The youth Inis been kept in close
confinement for the past two months
to keep him away from the drug.
When at liberty he is a great source
of annoyance around the hotels
and when his plaintive appeals for
money is turned down, he retaliates
by throwing rocks. As there i,s no
state institution for the care of
such unfortunates, the authorities
have been compelled to keep him
within the walls of the jail.
Meeting of World’s Fair Board.
An important meeting of the
world's fair commission of Arkan
sas, all the members being present,
was held at St. Louis a few days
ago. Tko commissioners visited
the world's fair grounds and found
satisfactory progress being made on
the erection of the state's building.
It will, indications are, be complet
ed by December 1. Plans for deco
rations, etc., were discussed at
length. The commissioners took up
the matter of electing a lady assist
ant manager, as provided for in the
act of the last legislature. There
were several applicants and the
successful one was Miss Cage of
Helena. Miss Cage was highly
recommended and is said to be well
qualified for the position.
Pine BluS Normal Will Open.
The l’ine Muff Normal school, !
I flic state institution for colored )
students, has received the sum of I
$6,000 from the national govern
ment, being its pro rata of $‘25,000
annually turned over to this state
from what is known as the Morrill
fund. It is said this sum will on- j
able the school to run the ensuing
scholastic year. It was thought for
a while that the failure of the ap
propriation act of 1003 to become
a law would invalidate the quota
received from the Morrill fund, but j
now that the money has been paid
over it comes at a time when the
Pine Illuir institution needs it, ow
ing to the invalidity of the state ap
propriation.
Negroes Lynch Negro.
A mob composed of negroes over-!
powered the sheriff of Mississippi I
county and took a negro prisoner
named llellom and hanged him. lle|
was charged with assaulting two
negro girls, aged 5 and 10 years.
The lynching was conducted in
an orderly manner. Negroes con
ducted the entire proceedings, not
a single white man participating.
Officers were powerless to prevent
the hanging. Not a shot was tired.
The victim was asked if he had
anything to say, and after a few in
articulate words concerning the
fcrime had been uttered in trem
bling tones, the rope was jerked
taut, lie died in a few minutes.

Chas. 1*. McLane, a chemist in
the employ of the agricultural de
partment of the government, is au
thority for the statement that boll
weevil has made its appearance in
Increase in Reveune.
It is stak'd that owing to tl>c in
crease in the betterment valuation

tal expenses of maintaining the levee

Passenger Trains Collide.
Passenger trains 1 and 1 2 crashed
together in a head-on collision a
quarter of a mile above 1 loxie on
tlie night of the loth. No 12 had
received clearance orders at I loxie
and had not reached full headway
when Xo. 1 was discovered round
ing the curve just ahead at the rate
of forty miles an hour. Both engi
neer.- reversed their engines and
jumped to save their lives, a- did
also their firemen. The alarm was
given on Xo. 12 and that train al
most reached a standstill, allowing
many of the passengers to jump.
Thirty-nine people wore injured,
but only one seriously. It is re
garded ib almost miraculous that
no one was killed. The engine of
Xo. 12 was completely demolished
and the windows in sovoal coaches
broken, but not a car left the track.

that the Homer woman was snap
ping a pistol at her when she drew
a knife and stabbed her three times,
once in the back, once severing the
jugular vein, and once in the right
breast near the heart and penetrat
ing the lung. Hither wound would
have resulted in her death. She
only gurgled, “I'll have you arrest
ed," and fell over dead.

would evade him. Jealousy was the
cause of the killing.

To the Brethren of the Scottish
Kite Bodies of the Valley of Lit
tle Koek :
Brethren—Vacation days are
over. The days since our spring
reunion have passed only too rap
idly. and we arc now fast approach
ing the time set for our fall reun
ion.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
November 1!*, ?o and 21, l!K).‘l.
These are the dates, brethren, and
our next business meeting will be
held on the night of October 2, and
it would please us to have as many
petitioners as possible before that
time in order that they may be pre
sented and time given for investiga
tion After that we will meet
Wednesday night, October 11, and
thereafter every Wednesday night
until the time for the reunion. If
you do not wish to have candidates
in whom you are interested disap
pointed it will be necessary for you
to send in the petitions at the ear
liest day possible in order to be
sure that ample opportunity is giv
en in which to act on them and no
tify candidates of such action.
Please, if possible, enclose nt
least the Lodge of Perfection fee
($40) with each petition. We
would prefer to have the entire
amount ($140) if as convenient for
the candidate, but at least the
Lodge of Perfection fee should ac
company the petition, and the bal
ance can be arranged after candi
date is elected and before receiving
the degrees. Your hearty, earnest
and continued enthusiastic co-opera
tion is asked. This is what has
built Scottish Kite Masonry in this
valley, and without it we would not
now occupy the proud position ac
corded us. A little of your time,
a little earnest effort and your con
tinued enthusiasm will keep the
banner of Scottish Hite* Freemason
ry in the high position which your
efforts have placed it.
The secretary, Brother John B.
Cowpland, will promptly and choer
1 ’’fully furnish blank petitions on ap
plication. Don't hesitate to ask for
them, and when you get them
please make as good use of them as
possible, and the best use you can
make of them is to have them sign
ed by some worthy Master Mason,
who, in your judgment, would he
the character of material we would
wish in this organization. this in
stitution, where good fellowship
prevails, where earnest and sincere
effort should be made toward the
upbuilding of humanity and the
fostering of that kindly, contented
and peaceful feeling of fraternity so
noted in the membership of the bod
ies of “The Gem of the Southern
Jurisdiction.” How much may we
expect you to assist in this under
taking? How earnest and how zeal
ous will you be in your efforts to
ward making a success of our fall
reunion? We are not going to
more than remind you of what we
would like to have you do. Our ex
perience teaches us that a reminder
to this membership is all it needs
to bring about the best possible re
sult We beg to thank you in ad
vance for your prompt, luurty and
earnest labors in this important
matter.
With very kindliest fraternal re
gard, and with the hope that you are
all in good health, free from unus
ual cares or misfortunes. I remain,
for the Scottish Kite bodies of the
valley of Little Kook, fraternally
your?, C. K. Kosenbaum,
Thirty-third Degree.
