Adopted by the worlds Fair Commissions

Adopted by the Worlds Fair CommissionB
 At recent meeting of the execu- tive committee of the honorary worlds fair commission the follow ing was adopted as the plan for a thorough county organization:
 1. The vice president of the county shall call together at as early date as possible at the most convenient point in their respective counties the commissioners of each township, including the lady com missioners, and organize. The vice president shall be ex-officio presi- dent of the county organization. They shall select one of their mem bers as vice president, one for secre- tary and one for treasurer; provid- ed, such organization shall not inter- fere with the ladies' organizations.
 g. They shall adopt such plans as they may deem proper and cir cumstances may demand as to call ing together their body, gathering products, raising funds and such other matters as will be necessary to make their organization complete and successful.
 3. When the time arises for the collection of products, each county organization shall prepare some place for depositing and keeping to- gether such products, subject to the orders of the executive committee of the board of honorary commis- sioners of the St. Louis exposition for the state of Arkansas.
 4. When funds are collected in the several townships of each coun- ty such funds must be forwarded to the treasurer of the county organi- zation, such treasurer giving his re- ceipt for the same. The township organization shall at such times as may be required report to the coun- ty secretary the amount of the funds collected and paid to the treasurer, and the county organization shall make such deposit in bank or other wise as will seem proper to secure such funds. All funds so received through said county organization will be held subject to the orders of the executive board of the St. Louis exposition for the state of Arkansas.
 5. The vice president and ex- officio president of each county or ganization shall see that his secre- tary and treasurer by him appoint ed shall make reports of the prog ress made in his county to George H. Grayson, secretary of the board, at Philadelphia, Ark.
 6. The county vice presidents shall, as soon as possible, nominate for confirmation by the governor a ladies' county auxiliary, to consist of one or more ladies, who will ac- lively assist in gathering funds and in such manner as the coun- ty organization may see fit, with power to have an independent or ganization.

Bud Mcconnell Out.

+. I. McCOnnell, state super intendcnt of the penitentiary, ten dered his resignation, which was ac- cepted and Hon. Rees B. Hogins, of Russellville, was chosen his sue cessor. MT. Hogins will take charge of the institution December 1. Fol lowing is Mir. McConnells resigna- ton as submitted in writing:
 To the Honorable Board of Peni-
 tentiary Commissioners:
 Price $1. Address,
 Gentlemen-It is a matter of rec ord that l was reelected to the posi- ton of superintendent of the Arkan- sas penitentiary, and after seven weeks star chamber investigation by the legisl- i've committee, 1 was con- frmed despite the powerful efforts brough to bear.
 Without solicitation on my part I was elected to this position Janu- ary 1, 1894, and accepted with con- dition that I would resign when l could not make the institution self sustaining. How well l have done so is public history. Feeling a pride in making a success, l have devoted over seven and one-half years of the best part of my life to that end. But few realize the responsibility or magnitude of this institution. The salary is not suf- fciently remunerative for the ability required outside of other objections.
 Owing to the wrangling and strife in the board, and in order to relieve my friend on the board from further bickerings and worry, and because of rules making the super intendent a fgurehead, and because I do not wish to be connected with such an extensive business, run on political instead of bushes princi- pies, I hereby tender my resigna- ton as superintendent of the Arkan- sas penitentiary. l respectfully re- quest that your board have a com plete inventory of all property made and all accounts audited on my re- tirement. This is but justice to me and my successor.
 For all favors extended to me by you, gentlemen, accept my hearty thanks. I shall retire to the Dem ocritic ranks and will always be found as heretofore, battling for the success of the party.
 B. T. Mcconnell.

Change in Rates.

It is reported the Missouri Pacific Railway system has issued a tariff for the Iron Mountain and leased lines in Arkansas and Louisiana, ef- fective September 15, which cuts the rate between Memphis and the Iron Mountain points in the two states from forty to sixty per cent of what it was only a short time ago, and cuts fully twenty-five per cent off the present tariff in effect. The new rates are the effect of the set tlement of the litigation started against the company four years ago, through the Memphis freight bureau and modified to accord with the more recent action of the Arkansas railroad commission.

In 1870 Mr.. Stevens was appointed by

After four years Mr.. Stevens resigned
his South American ministry and return
ed home. In 1877 he was appointed by
President Hayes to be United States
minister resident at Stockholm, Sweden.
To that kingdom he was also acccmpa-
MED by his wife and daughters; there
they resided about six years, returning
home in 1888.
In 1889 Mr.. Stevens was appointed by
President Harrison United States minis
ter to the Hawaiian Kingdom He was
accompanied there also by his family,
and there they We're bereaved of their
eldest daughter and returned home in
sorrow in. the year 1898. Mr. Stevens died

Since the death of her husband Mrs.

the audience chambers of courts and en-
bassadors, or in the more sacred circle
of the family. She was always the true
lady, and the devoted, affectionate wife
and mother.

DANDRUFF WON'T WASH OUT.

The Germ that Causes It Has to be De-
stroyed to Cure Dandruff.
Many woman spends an hour twice
week securing her scalp, thinking
scrubbfng off the scurf will cure the
dandruff. Two hours a week, at the
age of 40 years, she has spent 260 days
of IL hours each or tWo-thirds OF a
year Of her life, in that vain hope;
vain. because you can't cure dandruff
without killing the dandruff germ, and
the only hair preparation on earth that
will do that is Newbro's 'Herpicide'-
also a delightful hair dressing, and
thoroughly antiseptic against all con-
tagion from use of others hair brushes.

expedient, but no other person may
be present.
Other incidental and necessary pro
visions for inflicting the death pen.
atty are provided.
The bill will receive the opposition
OF the present contractors of the pen
ltentiary, as is evidenced by an opin.
ion expressed with regard to the
measure by Representative Thomas
McTague of Deer Lodge county who
is one of the present contractors.
Il do not believe that the meas.
ure is good one," said Mr.. McTague.
Il do not object to performing any
duty imposed upon me as one of the
contractors, but I do not feel we
ought to be called on to perform
executions. If the state prison were
handled directly by the state, l do
not know that l should be opposed to
it, but it does not seem just right 10
impose such duties on men who are
simply under contract to feed, guard
and care for prisoners of the state.

President Harris is also In receipt of
plans and specifications for the
equipment complete of 10 stamp

Anaconda Company Inaugurates Il
Without Waiting fer the LegisIa-
tature

1t was reported yesterday that The
Anaconda Copper Mining COMPANY
had decided to inaugurate the eight
hour work day system in it's mine;
whether the legislature would pass
an eight hour bill or not, say, tho
Standard. 1t was not until late last
night that the report could Ee con
firmed by the Standard. President
William Scallon of the Anaconda
company was seen and questioned
regarding the report. and he admit
ted that the company had ha1 ne
matter under consideration FOR some
time-in fact had decided upon the
elght-hour system some time ago -
but 1t was only within a week that
1t was determined to put it into ef-
feet in the mines on Tie first of Feb
ruary. From other sources it was
learned that the Butte & Boston com
pany will adopt the eight-horr sys-
tenn in its mines at the same time.
as well as the Colorado and the Par
rot companies. 1t will be the best
news that the Standard ha; brought
to the miners of Butte in a long
time.
1t could not be learned last night
whether the Boston and Montana
company had taken any action o., the
subject, but it is safe to say that il
all the other companies named aaopt
the eight-hour system the Boston 4
Montana will soon he workin" under
the same system.
