Death visited the home Of Mr. and
Mrs M. D. Crapsou last Saturday
and took their precious baby, aged 4
weeks. The little one was laid to rest
in the Odense cemetery Sunday. Our
hearty sympathy goes out for the be-

"On dark and cloudy morning,
Death came to our cottage door
And took away our Joy and pride,
To rest for evermore.
Homo now seems dark and vacant
Since sister has gone to rest.
How could we mourn or greve for her,
When we know she is with the best7
Baby can never return to us,
But we eau go to her
If we are always obeGient,
To Gods law while we're here"

SUPREME COURT
 ADVANCES CASES.
North Side Divorce Suit and Proceed ings of Davis Capitol Commission CTS Favored-Tucker Re-
 fused Ball.

Little Rock, Oct. IS. The Supreme Court yesterday morning granted the motion to advance the cause of the city of Little Rock vs. the town of North Little Rock. As is we'll known to the general public, the city of Little Rock appealed from the decision of Chancellor Hart in favor of the town of North Little Rock, in what has been popularly called the "North Side di- vorce suit" Lately the attorneys for North Little Rock have bestirred themselves considerably in an attempt to obtain an early hearing of the case in the Supreme Court. The decision of this morning was rendered upon a motion filed by them to advance the cause upon the docket, as being a matter of public concern.
 The court also advanced on the docket the case involving the legality of the State capitol commission ap- pointed by Gov. Davis and the com mission selected by the legislature.
 The court also refused to admit w. D. Tucker of Woodruff county, under indictment at Cotton Plant for murder in the first degree, to bail. On June 15, 1903, as is charged In the indict- ment, Tucker killed M. M. Jesner. At the September term of the Circuit Court at Cotton Plant application was made to Judge Hutton for bail. The application was denied. The cause being continued, the defendant was left in jail. Certiorari was brought in the Supreme Court to review the &C., tion of the circuit judge, and a decis- ion was thereupon had this morning as above indicated.

MESSENGERS ARE OUT.

The messengers of the Pacific Ex- press Company on the main line of the Iron Mountain are out on a strike for higher wages.
 There was no one to handle the ex- press on No and scab on No. 4, who was accompanied by burly guard. Much perishable matter intended for Little Rock and points below went North on No. 4, which will surely en- tail heavy loss upon the company. The baggage men are in sympathy with the striking messengers and re- fuse to touch their comrades work.
 The express messengers deserve good salaries by reason of their risky positions, when their lives are always endangered by wrecks, and the sym pathy of the public is with them in their fight for better wages.

OZARK SPEECH CAUSED STIR.
Davis Continues to Roast Press and Denies Absolutely Report of Ozark Speech-Wood Wanted to Go
 After Him.

Perry, Oct. 17.-Judge Carroll b. Wood and Gov. Davis spoke here to- day to fair sized audience. The dis cussion was along the same lines heretofore drawn in the campaign, the governor roasting the press in his usual style.
 There was one breezy incident. Gov. Davis referred to the report that in his speech at Ozark several weeks ago he used this language:
 "I am not fit to belong to the church, and no man is fit. There is not a married man true to his wife; I am not and no other man is All our wives could get divorces on that ground"
 The governor denounced the report as lie and said that whoever repeat ed it as fact was liar.
 Several days ago Circuit Judge J. H. Evans, who was present at the Ozark speaking, wrote statement embody- ing his recollection of what the gov ernor said. The governors utterance is reported by Judge Evans as follows:
 "After explaining the circumstances of his restoration to membership in the Baptist church, Gov. Davis said: But, my fellow citizens, am not fit to be member of any church. No man is fit to belong to a church. The women are fit, but the men are not. If our wives knew what we are doing they would sue us for divorces.'
 In the discussion of the incident to- day before the audience here Judge Wood had some words with the gov : ernor. Judge Wood came near re- beating the Bismarck occurrence and was about to strike the governor when friends interfered and quiet was re- stored.
 Judge Wood in his speech spoke Of the great resources of Arkansas and it's future prosperity. His speech was able and dignified.

COMPRESS
 DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Destructive Conflagration at Para gould, Entailing Loss of $75, 900, Thought to Be Work
 of Incendiary.

One of the most destructive fires that has ever visited Paragould oc cured Monday morning, says the Soliphone, when the cotton compress in the northeast part of town, owned by the Lesser Goldman Cotton Com pany of St. Louis, and R. E. Morris & Company of Little Rock, was reduced to smouldering ashes. Besides the building and equipment of the con- cern between six and seven hundred bales of cotton were destroyed, en- tailing loss of something like $75,- 900. The amount of insurance carried on the enterprise is variously esti- mated from $50,000 and up.
 The first alarm was sounded by someone shooting pistol few min utes before o'clock, followed by fusilade of shots and the usual alarm. But it seems the flames had gained destructive headway before it was discovered and were rapidly sweep ing to all parts of the building and platform. Henry N. Rowland was the night watchman, but was not to begin vigilant watch until tonight. He was asleep when the confagration started and knew nothing of it until the shots were fired, sounding the alarm. His sleeping apartment was almost surrounded by fire before he could get out. Upon opening the door the smoke and fire stihed him and be was forced to make his escape through window.
 Just how the blaze originated is matter of conjecture. It is the opin ion of many, however, that it was of an incendiary origin and judging from the complexion of the affair it evil 1 dently was.
 The compress was established in Paragould about four years ago, capi- talized at $50,000, the amount being subscribed by citizens of Paragould. From the start the enterprise fared badly and much money was lost in it's operation. Season before last it was absorbed by the present company at sacrifice price, though much to the satisfaction of those who were in- volved in it's ownership.
 Dave Lande was manager of the plant and returned from a trip to St. Louis in time to see the confagration from his train. The plant gave em- ployment to about fifty or sixty men, representing payroll of $500 to $500 a week. The loss is quite blow to the commercial interests of Para gould, as the plant will not probably be rebuilt.

EXPRESS HANDLED
 BY SCAB MESSENGERS.
Little Express Matter Carried But Trains are Manned by New Men
 Who are Locked in Depot.


 Texarkana, Ark, Oct. ]9.-Trains over the Iron Mountain coming in from the north last night brought little express matter, but the express cars were manned by new men, who as soon as they arrived, were taken to the depot office, a distance of about twenty feet, and locked securely there until time to go out on their return runs.
 The Texas & Pacific from Longview and Marshall had no messenger last evening and at night the train over the Trans Continental brought in new men with less than dozen pieces of express matter. These men were al- so locked in the depot office, which, for time being, is utilized as a sort of prison lodging house and restaurant for the new employees.
 Good order still prevails, the strik- CTS confning their efforts to moral suasion to induce the new men to quit work.
 The story in today's Dallas News to the effect that violence was being used by the strikers at this point, and that tine county and city officers refused the express company and it's employees protection, is vigorously denounced as untrue. Mayor Stuart of the Tex as side today sent the following tele- gram;
 Gov. s. w. Latham, Austin, Tex:
 statement in Dallas News relative to riot of strikers is false. Perfect order prevails here.

TELEPHONE COMPANY SUES
 FOR RIGHT OF WAY.

The right of way suit of the Ameri- can Telephone and Telegraph Com pany against the Iron Mountain for the damages in Missouri, has been continued until December at Poplar Bluff. The Arkansas end of the case has been adjusted, and all damages paid. The line has been in operation for some time from Little Rock to Walnut Ridge, and is completed as far as Poplar Bluff, but not in opera tion above Walnut Ridge. It will be met at Poplar Bluff by the Missouri Telephone Company, building from St. Louis, now about forty miles from the connection point. The only ques- tion in Missouri is the assessment of the damages, and when this is done the line will be opened from Little Rock to St. Louis.

PREDICTS $1OO,OOO
 COTTON YIELD.

Little Rock, Oct. 16.-Superintend- ent Rees B. Hogins and Financial Agent J. c. Moore of the penitentiary have returned from a visit of inspec- tion to the state convict farm in Lin coin county. They report that 200. convicts are now engaged in picking cotton and that they are gathering enough daily to constitute twenty five bales. Superintendent Hogins, on conservative estimate, thinks the yield will be 1,500 bales on the farm. Two hundred bales are already out, and the gin is turning out twenty bales daily. With the splendid cotton and corn crops on the farm it is be- lieved that the state will derive fully $100,000 from the yield and that it will be able to pay $50,OOO on the pur- chase price of the farm out of the first years crop, placing the remain ing $50,000 to the credit of the peni- tentiary.
 A notable circumstance in connec- tion with conditions at the farm at present is that among the 225 convicts now there only one case of sickness is reported, and that not a serious one. In fact the hospital is empty.
