ing from the floor to the
ridge-pole. There is only
one door and one window
the latter an opening 20
inches square. A large
open fireplace, built in the
mostfprlmltlve way, occupies
nearly the whole of one end
of the cabin. The chimney
is made of small logs, placed
together just as log houses
are built. Inside of it, fiat
stones placed on the ground
made the hearth, and wide
fiat stones placed against
the logs kept the fire with
in bounds and protected the
wooden chimney. The in
side, from the hearthstones
to the top of tie chimney,
was @thickly daubed with
clay. The chimney reaches
only half way to the roof OF
the house, and is rounded
off with small sticks. This
simple fireplace furnished
most of the light, all of the
heat, and the sole means for
cooking the meals of the
family, The cabin did not
have even a loft, or second
story, as have most cabins.
1t was built by Thomas
Lincoln, father of the pre-
s:dert, some time about
1904 or 1905, and was en-
tirely constructed with IN
ak and saw, the simple
stools of the pioneers. The
clapboard roof was anchor.
ed down by small logs, laid
lengthwise on top of rows
of oak boards, There were
no nails or hardware. The
door hinges were of wood,
and the pancless windows
had an inside oard.shutter,
held in place by raw.hide
thongs. There were chinks
and mud between the logs,
and the puncheon floor was
pegged down. 1t is prob

Lincoln's grandfather was
killed by the Indians at Long
Run Westinghouse, in JEFF

to the forest and took up a
section of land in La Rue,

THINGS TALKED OF.
A Partial Outline of the Pro-
gramme for the State Teach
ers' Association.
INTERESTING THEMES
An OppOrtane Time for the Associatira,
asa Majority of the NOrmals
JgiU Have Closed.

Great and growing is the
interest in the approaching
convention of the Arkansas
State Teachers Association
which will be held in this
city June $3.50. For many
reasons this seems the most
suitable time for the meet
ing.
The majority of the nor.
mails will close on or before
the 18th of June. The
quarterly examinations will
be held during the first days
of July. Those who attend
the N. E. A, will probably
leave Arkansas on or before
the 4th. of July, and this will
give them an opportunity to
return home, if they choose
to do so, before leaving for
Milwaukee. .
While the details of the
programme have not been
fully determined, the fol
lowing outline will give the
teachers of the state some
definite conception of the
feast that is in store for
them.
In addition to the welcome
address, the response, and
the presidents annual adj

the following subjects.

of the week further delaying
planting. The latter part
of the week the weather was
fine and planting was pushed
as rapidly as the condition of
the ground would permit.
Unreasonable cool weather
at night retarded the growth
of vegetation.
Corn planning about COM
pleted, some is up and aver
ages only fair. Cotton about
half planted. wheat, oats,
rye, and fruit of all kinds,
except plums, doing well.
Gardens fair, some injury
from cut worms. Buffalo
gnats are worrying stock in
the eastern portion of the
state.
NORTHEAST SECTION.
With the exception of the
first day or two the weather
has been favorable and far
mers have pushed forward
the work of planting.
Corn and Cotton planting
is progressing, corn is nearly
all planted and cotton plant
ing is under way, Some OF
the first planted corn is up to
a good stand except in Jack
son county where it is poor.
The nights have been cool
and light frost occurred on
the nights of 10th. 18th.
Neither seems to have done
any damage except checking
the growth of vegetation.
Wheat, oats, gardens,
meadows, and the range are
doing fine.
Buffalo gnats very pesti-
ferrous. Some stock injured
and blowing rendered diff.
cult on this account.
SOUTHEAST SECTION,
All crops backward on
account of late rains. Much
land is just now getting in
shape for blowing. A con-
siderable area in this section
is still under water. On the
higher lands corn and cotton
planting are progressing.
Buffalo gnats are causing
stock great annoyance and
some injury. ..,.
Weather fine during latter
part of week and where
condition of ground would
permit, farm work was
pushed vigorously. Oats
poor.
CENTRAL SECTION.
Character Of land largely
determines conditions Of
crop in this section. High
lands good, lowlands very
backward and such vegeta-
ton as is up not looking
well. Much land still too
heavy to work. Farmers
pushing ahead with plant
ing during the present fine
weather. Corn planting
will be completed, except on
very heavy lands, this week.

MankatO, Kas Aug. 3.-(Special) num-

the crowd has set next fan as the time for

they will be able to keep the state in the

REIGN OF TERROR IN PORTUGAL.
Government Setting the Constitution
at Defiance and Adopting the
Severest Measures.

London, Aug. IA dispatch TO the Daily
Mail from Madrid describes a very grave
state of affairs in POrtgual. According 20
this correspondent, the Portuguese gov
ernment is setting the constitution at de-
fiaEce and adopting the most stringent re-
pres sive measures. The police, without
legal warrants, enter private dwellings at
all hours of the day and night, ransack
them, seize property and march the own
ers off to prison on the most trifiing or Ut
terly unfounded charges. A veritabie reign
of terror is established and il is the pop
ular belief that the government contem-
plates passing its obnoxious financial leg
islation by means of coup d'etat.
So severe are the repressiYe measures
adopted by the government that in the
opinion of the Daily Nails correspondent,
an outbreak is likely to occur.
A dispatch TO the Daily Mail from Rome
saws that King Humbert Is in daily cor
respondence with his sister, the queen
dowager of Portugal. on the subject of the
present disturbances, and he has instructed
the italian minister as Lisbon, Count Ger
bafx DeSonnaz to render all the assistance
in his power to the royal family in case
an emergency should arise. The Italian
government has placed two men-of-war

nm Agreement.

Youngstown, o., Aug. 3.-The new Anal
gamated Association wage scale was sign
ed this afternoon by President Garland, OF
the Amalgamated Association of Iron
Steel and Tin Workers. and Secretary
James II. Mutt, OF the Iron Manufacturers
Association.
The whole scale is governed by 1-cent
card rate. which means l cent per pound
selling price for bar iron. When the sell
ing price of bar iron goes up, everybody :
wages go up. but wages cannot go any
lower than they are now, no matter how
low the selling price OF bar iron goes Al
together the men affected do not consider
the new scale as poor for them as ii might
be. as the 1-cent card rate gives them some
protection. go
