Memphis, Tenu., Nov. 24.—The en-1 tire cotton heit region oi west sissippi and Arkansas is enveloped in dense smoke today as a result of se- j rious forest fires which have been rag ing for three days. Large areas oi timber are burning .while tho.fires have spread rapidly by atlaciviug the, dry undgerrowth. Advices from Little Rock, Ark., this morning state that fires are burning in all directions and a pall of irritat ing smoke hangs over that city. Between Memphis and Little Rock on the Choctaw railroad, the woods are on tfre on both sides of the rail-1 way line while the timbered section north of Little Rock o nthe Iron Moun- { tain railroad is burning. The fires, | extend: as far north as Walnut Ridge The timber lands southwest of Swif- j ton are in flames and owing to the general dryness and early frosts that have deadened vegetation, many cot ton fields that are surrounded by woods are believed to be in danger. Several miles of fencing has already been destroyed by the flames. At Greenville. Miss., and other points in the Yazoo Belt great clouds of smoke seriously interefer with river traffic. The inhabitants of the cotton belt are anxiously awaiting the first signs of rain, which will serve to extinguish the flames. No lives have been lost so far as is known, but it is reported that live stock has suffered severely, j ny asserted that the o men violated agreements, while the strikers assert that the agreements were not proper- iy made. Colonel E. R. Bliss, attorney for the railway company, said today: "Only one point now is left to it" adjusted. The company is willing to arbitrate.” President Buckley, of tTie striking division, said at the same hour: "We are no nearer a settlement now than we were last night or yesterday. During the past twelve hours strike sympathizers did more damage to the car lines than any previous time since the strike was begun. Wires were cut on many of the cross-town lines, and all manner of blockade was put on the track. In State street every manhole between First and Forty- seventh sreets w-as filled with stones and debris so that the grip could not pass over. A big gang of'men work ed steadily for hours removing the ob structions. There is said to be a shortage ol coal at Twenty-first and State streets powerhouse. Plenty of nonunion coal teamsters have declared to be in read! ness to procure a supply if the oompa ny does not hear from the Teamsters organization soon. Another attempt was made today to run the State street cars. Six trains were started from Sixty-first street but their progress was slow.

"As u live stock market Chicago stands seen ml to none.” said a dealer of that city the other day. "The tig ur s for i!:!)2 show receipts at Chi eago that tell volumes if you stop to consider their full import. Almost 8,(!00.(;00 head of sheep, over 4.000.000 hogs. 100.000 horses. 125.000 calves and 3,000.0<-0 cattle were brought to the Chicago market last year hy the hig railroads that reach out into the cat tle ranges and feeding grinds all over the west. The reports show 278.100 car loads of live stock received here in 1902. quite a growth for the fifty-five years since the first shipment. “Have you read about that first ship ment of live stock? Young Millican Hunt, now over eighty years old. had started across the prairies to market with a sled load of hogs, and when he got across the lies Plaines river he found there was no snow on which to draw his pigs the rest of the journey. “That was in 1848. the year the (la lena road, now the Chicago and North western, built its first ten miles, and young Hunt made a dicker with tin- crew of a construction train, loaded his porkers on the train and rode into Chicago triumphant behind the little old •Pioneer.’ “Was you ever out to the Field Co lumbian museum?” the dealer contin ued. "Well, you should go out there some day and see that old locomotive. She stands for a good deal from Chi cago’s point of view. She brought in the first load of live stock, and tin- day the road was opened and the may or and the big men of the town were trying the novelty of a ride on the first regular train siie pulled the first rail shipment of grain into town. The farmer out on the prairie hailed the junketers and loaded Ids wheat on a good deal like Hunt bad the hogs carried in. “They toil me now,” he went on “that last year that load of hogs had grown to over (15,000 car loads of live stock brought into Chicago over the Northwestern.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “Dear Mrs. Pixkham : — I wish to express my gratitude for the restored health and happiness Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound has brought into my life. “ I had suffered for three years with terrible pains at the time of menstrua tion, and did not know what the trouble was until the doctor pronounced it in flammation of the ovaries, and proposed an operation. “ I felt so weak and sick that I felt sure that I could not survive the ordeal, and so I told him that I would not un dergo it. The following week I read an advertisement in the paper of your Vegetable Compound in such an emer gency, and so I decided to try it. Great was my joy to find that I actually im proved after taking two bottles, so I kept taking it for ten weeks, and at the end of that time I was cured. I had gained eighteen pounds and was in excellent health, and am now. “ You surely deserve great success, and you have my very best wishes.”— Miss Alice Bailey, 50 North Boule vard, Atlanta, Ga. —$5000 forfeit If original of above letter proving genuineness cannot be pro duced.
