To Aid Drouth Sufferers.

County Clerk W. F. Eatman, County Judge R. c. Lone and Sher- if R. H. Hudson, of Baxter county, have had a personal conference with Gov. Davis upon the question of aid ing the drouth sufferers of north central Arkansas. The gentle men are warm supporters of the proposition to aid those in their vicinity, as well as those suf- fering in other sections, who have fallen heir to the heritage left by the recent sleet. The drouth of last summer was sufficient within itself to cause mis- cry and since to that experience there has been added another by the on- slaught of hail and snow, double is the cause for woe. Corn in their section is selling for $125 per bush el and other things are in a propor- tionate ratio, The people Ep there are bearing the conditions bravely. but feel that succor must soon be given.

Gen. Bob" Crockett Dead.

Gen. Robert H. Crockett, a grand son of the immortal Dayy Crockett and father to our present secretary of state, John w. Crockett, died sud- denly on the night of the 11th at his home in Stuttgart of heart failure. The Saturday before he had been presented with cane on his seven tieth birthday. If ever there was an illustrious son of a noble sire 1t was 'FUncle Bob" as he came to be universally known. No man dared outdo him in magnanimity, in hon esty of purpose, in liberality of sen timent and generosity. It was ''brother' and God bless you" to every one he met, and sweet girl" to the fair ones who slored and worshipped him. His geniality was inbred and always flowing. his cor diality as radiating as the rays of the sun. Arkansas was always proud of him living, and his memory will be honored and revered long years hence when others more polit- ically prominent will have been for gotten. Gen. Crockett was born at Paris, Tenn, February 15, 1S32. When young man he settled in Arkansas county and took up the practice of law, becoming prominent as a practitioner He was elected state senator and served during the years 1SS5-1SS9 He served all through the Confederate army, and his bravery and efficiency won for him the colonelcv of the eighteenth Arkansas regiment. Gov. Davis is- sued a proclamation Tuesday requir- ing the placing of the flag at half mast and the suspension of business in the different state offices for that day.

NEWS OF ARKANSAS.
Arkansas Worlds Fair Building.

The building to be erected at the worlds fair at St. Louis for the state of Arkansas has been agreed upon by the state commission Architect F. C. W. Hart, of Hot Springs, submit- ted the design, which is in the style of the French renaissance. The building will be seventy-fve feet wide by one hundred feet long. The approaches to the building are per haps the most convenient and beau tiful yet offered by a state building. The building proper will be two sto- ries high. In the center of the build ing will be tine main reception hall connecting with the corridors, which extend the full length of the build ing. This reception hall will be in the form of a Latin cross. On the first floor, grouped on each side of corridors, is the general man. ager's office and office of board of commissioners, governor, the lady manager and the ladies' reception room, which will be on a suite with the ladies' toilet and cloak room. the day nursery and ladies waiting room, which will be furnished and app0rtioned for all ladies from the state. On the opposite side of the corridor are the gentlemen's recep- tion rooms and suite with wash room, toilet and check room. One entire corner of the building will be devoted to Hot Springs and Eureka Springs exhibits. which will be admirable and calculated to arouse considerable interest. Space is also provided for any and all counties and cities which may ap- ply for it. The second story is de- voted to educational exhibits unclas- sifed, and the historical society and a thoroughly accoutred auditorium. While the building will cost $100,- 000 in its actual value, piece for piece, it is proposed to have the state expend only between $20,000 and $25,000-the balance being con tributed for instance, one man gives so much of this kind of lumber, an- other of that, and so on, until the remainder is actually furnished by a congregation of people, The building will be built entirely of wood and stone.

To Hinder British Government from
 Purchasing Military. Supplies Here.
 The following is a copy of petition which is being circulated about town and is receiving the signature of large numbers of influential citizens:
 ITO the Hon Theodore Roosevelt, Pres
 ident of the United States:
 We, the citizens of the United States. respectfully represent that athe British government is making a depot at the port of New Orleans and i'll other contiguous places for the pur- chase of military supplies, viz: horses and mules for the use of the cavalry and artillery service of the British gov ernment.
 '"The horses and mules are inspected by British military officers and other officials and shipped directly from New Orleans to the seat of war in South Africa. The horses and mules are es- sential to the cavalry soldier and the battery of artillery as the sword of ammunition and as such are contra band of war
 s.Our brother republicans in arms, known as the 'Boers,' are fighting for life liberty and home, just as our rev olutionary forefathers fought in this country. We, therefore, earnestly pray the president to prevent the further evasion of the neutrality laws by stop ping the shipments of horses and mules to South Africa for the use of the Brit ish army.'
