 To the readers of The Arena:
 take pleasure in announcing to my friends that, since the parties through whose agency my relations to The Arena Publishing Company were brox- en and my success impaired are no longer connected in any manner what ever with The Arena, and the new management having assured me that the policy of The Arena is to continue to be that of great liberal reforma- tive review under the editorial man. agement of Dr. John Clark Ridpath, have consented to act as special con tributor, and will prepare paper for each issue of the review. It is, indeed, great pleasure to again speak to my host of friends through the columns of the review I founded, and it is doubly gratifying to me to know that The Arena is now in hands which will maintain it as a great liberal reforma- tive review.

In seeking to provide rooms for school purposes the school board should not put mp any unsightly make-shlft of a building. Any thing of thls nature would not be q credit to the place and we would always regret having built it. Mena, though young, is big and strong enough to build good two story brick building which would not only be good place for the children to attend school but would also be credit to our town and show that our school board was composed of men possessing good judgement and progressive ideas.

IS IT BEING PAID?

Our citizens are quite generally aware that every transfer of real estate in the original town of Mena, carries with it, by the terms of the deed from the Townsitc Company, a tax of one per cent. to the school fund and one and one half to the street and park fund.
 By the terms as specified in these deeds said amounts become a lien on the property sold for a period of two years from the date of the filing of the deeds for re- cord and purchasers should be on their guard to sec that the parties from whom they buy real estate in Mena, pay this two and a half per cent. tax on the full amount of the purchase as it is collectable by law the same as any other tax levied on real estate.
 We suggest that if 1t is not done our officials should watch all transfers and deeds filed for record and proceed to make prompt col lections of these transfer taxes as we need the money for school ex- penses and street and park improv- mcnts.

 It is a morning daily and was willed to the city by its last owner at his death upon condition that all profits of the paper be spent on public parks. The paper Is very prosperous and we'll liked.

People here who have tried it say that the e''Bliss' is the best po- tato to plant for late fall crop. They can be planted in the spring and when rlpc in Jnuc. can be dug and later, or during July, cut and planted for a second crop. The manner of treating the seed is to cut the potatoes three or four days before time of planting and when the cut surface is wilted and weii covered with the exuding sap plant and cover deep. The latter part of July is early enough to plant this variety for a late crop, and when grown they keep nicely ali winter.

Matt Hennessy Killed
on a Ranch Near
Sacramento.
Shot by His Employer While
Pretending to Steal
Chickens.
-Assembyman EbenOWen Takes
Life While Cunning for
Marauders.
Special Dispatch to THE CALL.

! SSACRAMENTO, Dec. 17-Ranche,
/ Eben Owen, prominent Native Son and
ex-Asse NIB man, is under arrest a,
Franklin, seven miles from this CITY, fo,
the killing of Matt Hennessy, his hired
man. The homicide was the result of q
practical joke, of which Owen was TO have
been the victim, and the affair is one ot
the most peculiar that has ever come to
the attention of the officers of this county,
and is deeply deplored by the ex-A>sem.
byman's many friends.
For some time past Rancher Owen has
suffered losses from the deprec ations OF
chicken thieves. He has tried in various
ways TO surprise and capture the cu.prits.
but without success. So much did this
annoy him that he frequently expressed
TO his employees his desire 10 get the
thieves into close quarters.
Tonight Hennessy resolved upon a
practical joke Wherewith to "get the
laugh" upon his employer, with whom he
was on friendly terms He caught a
ch cken, put 1t into a sack and CHM bed q
tree, carrying the fowl with him. Once
ensconced on one of the top linn bs of the
tree he caused the chicken to squawk in
order to tract the attention of Owen.
The tree in which he was perched was di-
rectly over the henhouse, and 1t was evl.
IDENTIFY Hennessy's idea that the farmer
would believe that the cackling came
from the henhouse and he would hav. a
fine time watching proceedings from his
high coign of vantage while Owen would
be making trips to the bsrnyard to see
what was causing the commotion among
his fowls.
Hennessy's plan worked far too well.
Instead OF rushing out to the henhouse
with the idea of catching the thief the
Iancher crawled on his hands and knees
sIealthily toward the building. When
near the door he discovered that the
squawking of the chicken came from the
tree and he saw perched in the branches
what seemed TO be the figur. of a man,
Owen called to the fellow TO come down.
Receiving no answer, he took quick aim
and fired toward the figure in the tree.
Without uttering cry Hennessv dropped
from his position, bounded from limb to
limb AMI finally feil in a limp mass at tho
feet of his employer. He had been in
stantly killed by the charge OF shot.
When Owen bent over the corpse he
found that the dead man was mis- en- ploye.
He was overcome by grief at the result of
his shot, AID, after having the body OF
Hennessy carried into his dwelling and
cared for, he at once surrendered to his
brother Henry Owen, the constable In
Franklin district, and is now held in the
latter's custody. Sheriff Frank johnson n
and Coroner Clark have left the scene of
the kirling.
In this city, where ex-Assemblyman
owen is well known, the unfortunate
affair is deeply regretted.
