 To All Whom These Presents Shall Come-Greeting:
 January 29 inst. will be the birth day of our late lamented president, William Mckinley, and should be observed in fitting manner.
 The National Memorial Associa- tion is urging contributions from all sources, and it is hoped that some liberal responses will follow; that a memorial will soon be erected which will fttingly honor the memory of our martyred president, and at the same time will honor those who will give aid to this most praiseworthy cause.

H. l.. Rem mel, Little Rock, Ark.
 In witness whereof I have here unto signed my hand and caused to be affixed the great seal of the state at the executive chamber at the city of Little Rock, on this, the Eth day of January, 1909.

Criminal Record for 1oo1.
Governor of Arkansas

Clio Harper, in the Little Rock Democrat, publishes a careful com pilation of the criminal statistics of the state for the past year During the period noted, there were four lynchings, as follows: February 19 Pete Bergman, colored, Mena, for assault on a child; March 22- George Cheeverie, murder; April 6 May Hearn, Osceola, murder {; June 3-John Malloy, Hamburg, horse-stealing. There was a consid- erable increase over the year pre- ceding in the number of himicides, and there were fourteen legal exc cutions, whereas there was only one in 1900. The per cent of justif- able homicides is very large, in many instances the killing having been done in clear self-defense. In some instances the guilty parties are now in the shadow of the gallows, while many of the assassinations have never been solved and are likely to remain a mystery for all time. In many other cases convictions have been had for murder in the lower degrees, and sentences pronounced ranging from one month to life imprisonment. Below is a comparative statement of the past four wears:

NEWS OF ARKANSAS.
Washington County Settlement.

A settlement has been made be- tween Washington county and the state of Arkansas, under the terms of the act of 1901, in connection with the mutual indebtedness grow ing out of the location of the state university at Fayetteville over thir- ty years ago. Under the act of 1871 Washington county issued bonds to the amount of $100,0OO to secure the location of the university at Fayetteville, said bonds being held by the state as part of the perma- nent endowment fund of the univer- sity, and becoming due and payable January 1, 1909. Washington coun- ty held $8S,500 in 3 per cent thirty year bonds of the state, refunded un- der the act of May s, 1899. In or der to bring about a settlement the last legislature passed an act pro viding for the transfer of the bonds. Washington county delivered to the state treasurer the state bonds in the sum of $8S,500, and the sum of $11,517.50 in cash, with the accrued interest on the bonds to the date of delivery, amounting in the aggregate to $104,000. State Treasurer Tip ton thereupon surrendered to Coun- ty Treasurer Baird the $100,000 bonds issued by Washington county. The act of 1901 provides that the state treasurer shall invest the cash paid to him by the Washington county treasurer in state 3 per cent funding bonds of 1899, such bonds, together with the bonds delivered by the county treasurer, to be held as a permanent endowment fund of the University of Arkansas, the in terest thereon to be paid annually to the treasurer of the university, s1.l shall be expended for the use and benefit of the university.

Gov. Davis has offered a reward of $500 for the arrest and delivery of James Buchanan, who stands con- victed of murder. He was indicted in May, 1880, for the murder of N. D.

classes for control and the restoration
of the old system of class rights. The
leaders are fighting against independ-
ence, and the Democratic system which
they know the United States govern
ment would institute when it secured
control of the Islands.
"The average Filipino is very ignor-
ant and believed the leaders among
his own people when they told him the
Americans would devour his children
and rob him of all his possessions
his idea of independence is that it is
something good to eat"
Said Lieut.. Conger: when 1t is an

not be imagined that they are knock
ed out for the natives can get more
guns and could keep up their guerilla
warfare indefinitely. There is peace
because the natives have become our
friends and know that we are their
friends. They see that the American
government has established protection
to the poorer classes and that what
has never been true, before, in the his
tory of the islands, it is now just as
much a crime for the Presidente to CON-
NIT murder as for the lowliest labor
er. The portions of the country which
are still unsubdued are occupied by a
people similar to the American In
dians and the Spariards never controll-

scription of number of bolo fights
