These two latter facts were enough to bring out thousands of people from different parts of the State. The Elks from different parts where they have lodges were ably and well rep resented. Their purrle was con spicuous. Hello BHlP was always a favorite Thursday.
 Little Rock was well represented. Her people seemed impressed with the display made by Jefferson coun. ty.
 The Fair grounds Thur day had 10 space to spare. The grand stand was jammed The betting quarters filed. The poultry dis, play, the restaurants, the side shows. the halls, all, all one body of people moving to and fro.
 The program for the day was exc cuted as planned to the satisfaction of everybody. The bard discoursed sweeter music than ever. The wire walker was all right; the horses started better and balloon ascen- sion was had after two attempts on the part Of Aeronaut Wright.

New York, Oct. 27,-A special from Washington says:
 The natives of Porto Rico are not now and never have been capable of self government. This IS the burden of a report just submitted to the secretary of war by Gen. Geo. W. Davis, military governor of Porto Rico. Upon this informa tion the president will base the recommendation relative to Porto Rico cor tained in bis forthcoming. message. The report was brought here by Capt. George Langhorn, formerly quartermaster, now en route to service in the Philippines The report of Gen. Davis is in sub stance that it will take years to ed- ucate the Porto Ricans. They are inert and the progressive Ameri- can spirit will have to be instiled into them slowly, as they do not grasp ideas with encouraging ra- pidity.
 From observations so far made Ger. Davis thinks it is advisable that governor general be appoint ed vested with certain power, one who possesses tact and executive ability. To aid him there should be Q body of Ameficars to act in the ca paeity of cabinet to superintend the affairs of the various branches of the islands government. To test the abilities of.the natives it is Recommended that they will be eli gible for election to a legislative body, the election to be conducted by the native Porto Ricans.
 The actions Of this legislative body, however, are to be passed upoa by an authoritative council, which will take the form of su- premo court, to consist of Ameri- cans of judical knowledge. This body will decide upon the wisdom of the acts of the Porto Ricans as a Legislative assem bly,.

{ WOMAN IN TIE CASE
Caused Jim Reed and Elisha Clark
 to Do Some Shooting,

This morning iu the police court the cases of Elisha Clark, charged with disturbing the peace, and Jim Reed, charged with an assault with ! deadly weapon, were up before Judge Brown and occupied the morning session.
 The Judge continued the case of Clark until Saturday morning at 8 o'clock. The case Of Jim Reed was had. The judge fined him $75.
 The cause of the charges against both parties is that on Thursday night Elisha Clark went to a coIor- ed woman's house and was going to take her walking and to see the Fair. Just about this time Jim Reed walked up, and then came the bat tie of words. Clark did not like it., and pulled, so Reed says, knife on him. Whereupun Reed hit Clark with the butt end of his pistol. The fighting continued and Reed fired four shots at Clark. No dam age was done to either, however.
