SENATOR CLARKE
 WILL ASSIST STATE.

United States Senator James P. Clarke has been retained to assist At torrey General Murphy in represent ing the state railway assessment board in the suits brought by four railroads to restrain the secretary of state from certifying to the various county clerks the assessment of the property of those roads for taxation. It is alleged by the Frisco, Cotton Belt, Choctaw and Kansas City South ern railroads that the increased as- made by the board upon them are excessive and unwarranted.
 The suits instituted by the four com blaming railroads are in the nature of proceedings, and hearing will be had at Fort Smith on Septem Der before United States District Judge John H. Rogers on the merits of the case. A temporary injunction is in effect pending this hearing.

MURPHY AND DAVIS
 SPEAK LABOR DAY.

Governor Davis is said to have ac- cepted an invitation to speak in Pine Bluff on Labor Day and Attorney General Murphy is said also to have indicated his acceptance of similar invitation. It is understood that as the speeches are to be made under the auspices of the Labor Day committees no reference to political issues will be expected. In fact, it is stated that the two orators will be the guests of the Pine Bluff Labor Trades Council and that politics will be barred for the once.

DAVIS VERSION OF
 BISMARCK TROUBLE.
Says Wood Rushed Upon Him Un- awares and With a Shove Tipped His Chair Over and Caused Him to Fall From the
 Platform.

I Governor Davis has addressed the following letter to the Commercial Appeal giving his version of the Bis marck affair;
 tI see in the Gazette this morning a very unfair and garbled statement of a supposed difficulty that is said to have occurred between Judge Wood I and myself on yesterday at Bismarck, in Hot Springs county. Task that you give this letter publicity over my signature, that the facts in regard to this matter may be known.
 Bismarck is situated some twenty miles from Malvern and is a farming community A magnificent barbecue had been prepared and some 4,000 or l 5000 farmers were present. 1 spoke first, with an hour and fifteen min utes Mr. Vandeventer followed with an hour and half. Judge Wood spoke last, and I should have had a fifteen minute rejoinder. During my speech called the attention of the crowd to the fact that on the day before at 1 Philadelphia I had asked Judge Wood to explain the relationship between himself, John R. Dos Passes and his | law partners, firm of lawyers in New York city, with regard to min l ing deal between them in Marion county in this state, and that I had requested him at Philadelphia to state whether or not be and this firm were yet interested jointly in this deal, and l so. 1 stated also that John R. Dos Passes recently had pending before the supreme court of our state a suit on the Holford bonds, the suit amount ing to more than $2,0O0, ,000, Judge I Wood in his reply said he was not now interested with the law firm of John R. Dos Passos in this mining deal was sitting at the edge of small platform some eight feet square, taking notes preparatory to my re- joinder, and in as polite language as l NOu1O COLuluetlIO dShCO JuNtSC " OON to please tell the audience if he was not now in partnership with John R. tDos Passos in this mining deal, when did he cease to be in partnership with him and when had he severed this connection? This enraged him very much and while 1 was sitting and pay ing no attention to what he did he rushed upon me and showed me, my chair tipped over and l fell from the platform. Several of my friends, however, caught me. Any statement that he knocked me from the plat form or struck me at all is false. The assault was absolutely unjustifable and unprovoked.. 1 was simply pin ming Judge Wood down too strong on the facts to be comfortable. The sheriff immediately arrested him and he was fined before a justice of the peace, so 1 am told. The crowd was absolutely unanimous in their con demnation of his conduct, and but for my personal pleas to them to desist l fear that some of them would have done him personal violence. Very respectfully,
 "JEFF DAVIS, Governor"

RAILROADS RESPECT
 NEW GAME LAW.

At meeting of passenger traffic officials of the Southwestern lines held Wednesday in St. Louis it was decided that it would be inadvisable to make hunters rates to points in Arkansas This action is the result of what is known as the De Rossitt game law, which prohibits non-residents from hunting or fishing in Arkansas.
 Arrangements for joint clergymen's permits were discussed, and it was understood that the joint permit with the Western and Transcontinental clergy bureaus would be continued. Representative of the Rock Island served notice that their company would withdraw from the Southwest ern Clergy bureau, commencing with 1904
 OTHER RAILROAD GOSSIP.
 A notice has been posted in Little Rock by Trainmaster Hobbs stating that bids will be received for ten days for two runs as conductor on the freight trains on the new extenson of the White River road to Cotter. The run is every other day each way, giving one trip day except Sundays, from Cotter to Batesville, distance of ninety five miles.
 ***
 1t is not generally known what a heavy amount of mail is received at the general passenger offices of the great railway systems. As an illus tration, H. O.. Townsend, general pas- senger agent of the Missouri Pacific system, gives the following interest," ing figures: During the month of July there were received at the St. Louis offices 36, ,43S letters, cards and tele- grams. The heaviest day's mail was on July 6, when 2,481 pieces were re- ceived, and the lightest was the fol- lowing day, when TAO pieces were re- ceived. The other twenty nine days averaged from 800 to 2,0O0. The daily average for the month was 1,401 pieces. These figures, of course, rep resent the amount of mail received only at the offices of the general pas senger department, and do not in clude that of the freight, operating and other departments.

During the week local horsemen got

II Is generally conceded by those in

Of revenue to the association. This fact
