the receiver was made by Judge R. J.
 Lea of the Pulaski circuit court. Mur-
 phy x Mehaffey, attorneys for the company confessed it's insol- vency. The present liabilities of the
 company amount to about $20,000,
 and the assets somewhat less.
 The Arkansas Live Stock Insurance Company was represented in this
 section of the state by G. L. Hatfield,
 who made his headquarters at New port for several months.
 The failure of the concern at this l time is due to the fact that the policy i holders who are largely planters and farmers, failed to pay their install
 ments falling due in July and August,
 and the mortality of the animals in sured was abnormally great during the hot months of June, July and Au- gust. A large bulk of the business was written in the southern and southeastern parts of the state, where the conditions were very unfavorable during the summer months. Another cause of the failure is now shown to
 be that the company's rate is too low. They have been insuring stock, | chiefly cattle, horses and mules, for
 two years at six per cent, whereas
 the rate shonld be at least nine per l cent in order to insure the company against loss and for the protection of
 the policy holders. The company was organized in November 1901. and
 has paid up to date claims amounting
 to about $8,000, every claim due prior
 to August 1, 1902, having been paid
 in full.

 The INDEPENDENT learned through the courtesy of Tom billiard that our boys captured the first game by the easy score of to 6, the time required for the game being one hour and fifty five minutes. We hope they may fsucceed in bagging the second game and with the encouragement of two victories and the support of home rooters, the Tuckerman team vii hardly make a showing in Thursdays game here.

GREAVES SECURED CROWD.

Texarkana, August 27-Astute Ben Foreman euchred Davis and Myers out of the crowd last night. He had large platform erected on one of the prominent streets, in front of his building, and there MT. Greaves ad- dressed an audience of about 1000, while Governor Davis and MT. Myers addressed about 250 at the court house.
 There was no especially new feature to Governor Davis speech, unless it was the utter absence of all reference to MT. Reese B. Hogins. He denied the statement made by Myers at Batesville, that the Campbell boy, whom he pardoned on account of his "good old fat mother and her Bible. ]" had again stolen horse. The g0N7 ernor said he had communicated with MT. Campbell at Dyersburg and found 1 out that the statement was untrue.

HOGAN MCLEAN.
Pretty Home Wedding of MT. James c. Hogan To Miss Lettie McLain Wednesday Evening, Rev
 Jas. H. Brooks Officiating

At the suburban home of MT. w. D.. McLain, east of Newport on Wednes day evening, were solemnized the nuptials of Mir. James 0. Hogan and Miss Lettie McLain. The invitations had been restricted to those closely associated with the families of the contracting parties and about the per formance of the rite had been thrown a simplicity and lack of ostentation, which was refreshing as well as beautiful.
 Miss Mae Whitaker presided at the organ, the bride and groom entering the parlor to Mendlessohn's march through the folding doorway and taking their places before the of ficiating minister, Rev. James H.. Brooks, beneath an arch of chrysan- themums, from which hung wedding bells. The saying of the ceremony was quite impressive and then came the congratulations of friends present.. The bride, naturally striking and at tractive, appeared doubly charming on this occasion, gowned in white l wearing the veil caught up with flow CTS and carrying an immense boquet of marschal neil roses.
 The lawn had been lighted with lanterns and the interior of the home was decorated tastily in chrysanthe- nuns, the reception which followed the ceremony being enjoyed by the guests present. Ice cream and cake were nicely served.
 The newly welded were the re- cipients of both beautiful and costly presents and left that night for their new home three miles east of New port. The groom is said to be a young man of good habits, pleasing sociability and great determination of l character, whom we congratulate and wish we'll in the life for which he has chosen helpmeet, whose disposition | and character are such as will doubt
 less bring sunshine and happiness in
 to his home.
 Among the guests present were
 Messrs. and Mesdames J. P. Gravitt
 J. V. Ridley, T. s. Stephens, M. M

FREIGHT DIVISION
 REMOVAL CERTAIN

The freight division will be moved from Poplar Bluff to Hoxie, Ark, about the last of October, says the Citizen, of Poplar Bluff. This much rumored change is now an assured fact. It is also an assured fact that a train dispatcher's office will also be established in Poplar Bluff. For several years there have been many prophecies of this change, but hitherto they have been suspicious rather than grounded on any good basis.
 The division will extend from Pied mont to Hoxie. At the latter place large and commodious freight yards have been built and preparations are being made to build a much larger round house than the one in use here. These additions will require about two months preparation before the change can be made. It will require a much longer time to complete them. | Poplar Bluff will continue to be the passenger division. It will also be a division point for the Cairo branch. A chief dispatcher and three assistants will be stationed here, and all the heavy eastern freight shipped out by that line. The recent laying of heavy rails from here to the Mississippi has been preparatory to this change.
 It < is not expected that these changes will materially harm the city; however, hotels and boarding houses
 will be the chief sufferers in the mat l
 ter.

 The man appeared in the person of H. F. Mosher of Melbourne, but somehow there vas hitch i'll the program somewhere and they met to part to meet no more.

Mr.. Evans remarks were frequently
interrupted by applause, and he was
given an ovation when he concluded.
The Provo Mandolin club entertained
the convention by the rendition OF an
instrumental solo, which was much ap-
preciated. Judge Henderson OF Salt
Lake was then introduced 10 the an-
dience.
Judge Henderson's Talk.
He said if there ever was a time
when a man or woman could be proud
of the fact that they were Democrats
ii was now. II there ever was time
when men and women were going TO
leave the party. that now was the time
Tor them TO go. for II would be better
for them to leave at this time than 20
wait for the last minute when their
votes had been counted upon; that he
would much prefer to see them leave
now than TO wait until the fight was
on In real earnest.
The speaker said that now Is the time
when men and women resolving the
problem in their own minds whether
they are capable Of governing them
selves, or having some one act as their
dictator. And he believed that they
would solve the problem by coming TO
the conclusion that they did not want
a man in Washington who was dictated
TO by the powers that predominant over
the Republican party in favor Of the
| trusts. but wanted a man there who
would represent them.

time to telling how Senator Kearns
