DR. GlBsOA'S REPORT.
He Says That Smallpox Prevallsin at
 Least Half the Counties.

Dr. l. P. c Gibson, Of the United states Marine Hospital service at Little Rock, in report to Surgeon General Wyman, at Washington, D. O., says:
 "I have the honor to report that smallpox is prevailing in at least half the counties in this state For more than year it has been gradn ally spreading from one locality to another, sometimes nndeteefed and frequently unret torted. On account of the mild nature of the disease in the present outbreak, stringent measures have not been adopted in some places, while apparently noth Ing has been attempted in certain
 localities No statistical reports can be obtained from the state board of health, as tie local author ities are not required 10 report to them. In the city of Little Rock there are DOW under treatment about forty cases, out of 8 total of 160 cases that have been reported. Eight deaths from smallpox have occurred in tEis city since October, 1899.
 "The president of the state board of heal h stated that smallpox has been reported in the counties named below. In some of them 1t still prevails to an alarming extent. It has been checRed in some of the counties on the list, and in few eradicated. The following are the counties: Arkans sas, Benton, Col- umba, Conway, Crittenden, Drew, Faulkner, Greene. Independence, Jackson, Jefferson, Lawrence, Lin coln, Logao, Perry, Phillips, Prairie, Pulaski, Saline, White, Woodruff, Fulton and Scott. A glance at the map of Arkansas will show that the disease has visited nearly every section Of the ssate. and the Indications are that 1t will eventually spread entirely over it.

CLANS GATHERING LITTLE ROCK FILLED WITH REPUBLICANS TODAY
 COMMITTEE MEETING.
PINE BLUFF REPUBLICAN
Leaders on Hand With a Big Nit" Powell Clayton Pres
 ent-The Nomination.

Today tThursday) is the day for the Arkansas Republicans to gather ct Little Rock.
 Ats o'clock this evening the Re- publican State central committee will meet to tx the time for the State convention. Indications are that March 20th will be the date selected.
 An interesting question is being agitated in Republican circles. It pertains to the preference 0f the Ar kansas Republicans for the vice. presidential nomination.. Recently the Wimberly faction of Louisiana Republicans held a convention and endorsed ex.Secretary of the Interior Bliss of New York for the vice presi- deney. 1t is an open secret that the Arkansas Republicans will not fol- low suit. They are not enamored of Bliss. They hold him largely respon- sible for preventing the appointment of a Republican, Martin 4. Eisele, to be government reservation superin- tendent et Hot Springs in accord ance with the wish of the Arkansas machine.
 sIt was the intentions of the Arkaa- sas Republicans to endorse Roas- welt for Yiee-President, but New York's Governor recently gave it out officially that he would not be q candidate for the honors under any consideration. This threw the Ar kansas lights of the c. 0. P. off the track and it is not known who will receive endorsement for the vice. presidency at their hansis.
 The railroads have offered a haIf- rate fare to Little ROCK during the committee meeting. and the number of Republicans to visit the Capital City today will be up in the hun dreds.
 At least two of the central com mittee members will be caf didates for the Republican gubernator1al nomination and tall log-rollng will be the order of the day during tue session.
 The personnel of the committee as selected by the last Republican state central committee comprises some our most prominent Republican leaders in the state. Hon. Louis Altheimer and Ferd Havis, of this city, are committeeman from this, the Second congressional district, and they are already cn the grounds with big mit' as the politician expresses it.
 In all probability Hon. Harres H. Myers, of Brinkley, will be the nom- inee. and better selection would be hard to make.
 Gen. Powell Clayton wiA be in at- tendance at the meeting. Judge John NJ. Mcclure has consented to address the members of tue Gommit- tue this evening on the celebrated Payne resolution to reduce the south ern Republican representation in the national convention. The address will be delivered at thestate house.

Frank Simmons Hurt.

Frank Simmons, an Oskaloosa boy,
who went to the Joplin Mining dis
trict last year, has been badly in
jured in an accident at his mine near
Galena, Kansas. Simmons, Erasmus
Haworth and Senator Rogers of Kan
sas are the owners of the mine.
Morgan and Simmons were at the
mine in the engine room when the
boiler exploded. The entire engine
house was blown to atoms, and it is
miracle the men escaped with their
lives. Morgan was hurt some, but
Simmons was disabled. He was ter
ribly bruised and scalded and burned
and one of his thumbs was broken.
He was so badly used up that he
could not be moved, but as soon as
he is some better he will be taken to
the Haworth home until he RECEIVERS.
1t was a narrow escape for the young
men.
