Exercises in the Big Building We're Com =
Portable for Nobody
The important ceremonies in the
Liberal Arts building were handled
with ali possible dispatch. OF all the
speakers President Roosevelt alone
was able to make his voice carry fur
ther than fifty feet from the stage.
By far the largest part Of the assem-
bly, could hear nothing, and it was
nearly freezing to death. When the
president rose TO speak he was cheered
to the echo He bowed again aud
again, suggesting by his manner 'thaI
quiet be restored Finally he mount
ed the brohd railing in front of the
rostrum, where he could be seen from
every part Of the hall and again mo-
toned for silence, but there was no
silence.
Taking advantage OF a lull, he called
"Now you, my fellow citizens, give me
all the chance you can, for | need il"
The chance was given and the presi-
dent began his address. A burst OF
applause greeted his statement that
the Dutch had done great things for
president laughed in a manner which
plainly said: THAT means my an
cestors."
The programme of the exercises in
the building began with band con-
cert The audience was called to or
OF nd ord f1o1
offered the invocation. President Car
ter then was introduced as president
of the day and the chair sang a grand
chorus-'The Heavens Proclaiming."
Presentation Of the building was then
made by President Francis. of the eX-
position company, and followed by
President Roosevelt's dedication adj
dress. The chorus, Unfold, Ye Portals"
preceded the address of ex-President
Cleveland who was enthusiastically
applauded when he arose and whose
speech was frequently cheered. "Amer-
lea" with chorus and band accom-
paniment followed, a prayer was said
by Bishop Hendrix, and the benedic-
ton was pronounced by Bishop Pot
ter.
The conclusion was punctuated, as if
were, by the explosion of 100 aerial
bombs, after leaving the building the
president eX-President Cleveland and
the other distinguished guests were en-
tertained at dinner in the Administra-
ton building. In the evening thou
sands OF people occupied an immense
stand near tie administration build
ing to witness the display of fire
works. The display was delayed until
the appearance of the president, when
a, great battery Of 15-inch aerial
moons was exploded in a salute, which
was almost deafening.
From this beginning, for nearly two
hours the air was a scintillant screen
Of flashing color. The night was made
brilliant with vari-cOlOred lights
framed in appropriate devices. The
spectacle closed with the printing in
letters of fire of the words Farewell
until 1904" The Chinese ambassador
was an especially pleased spectator.
President Roosevelt remained for some
time before leaving for his private car.

CIRCULARS BY
THE MILLIONS
Of Literature to Be Sent
Out by Candidates
BEFORE THE PRIMARIES
They Will Be Thicker Than Garden
Seed and Congressional
Speeches
A MILLION OR MORE PIECES
Will Be Sent Out From Jackson,
Increasing the Postofice Re-
ceipts Over 20 Per Cent.
Spe cial to the Daily Progress.

> Jackson, June 27.-Four million
pieces of circular matter is considered
conservative estimate of the amount
of campaign literature that will be
sent out by the candidates for state
and senatorial offices before the pri-
maries in August. The mails are
now being flooded with matter of this
class, and it is even larger in volume
than the deluge of garden seed and
congressional speeches which bien-
nially occurs just before the congress
sional primaries.
OF the total amount of campaign
literature distributed about one mil
lion pieces will be sent out from Jack
son. These figures refer exclusively
to letters bearing first-class postage,
and do rot include the pamphlets, fol-
ders of newspaper clipping reprints,
etc., which some of the candidates are
using. One candidate alone has had
1so, 900 imitation typewriter letters
printed for circulation distribution,
and this lis regarded as the most effec-
tive method of campaigning, judgiong
from the many favorable replies that
are being received by the candidates
who have adopted this method Of So
liciting support.
The state campaign has increased
the Jackson postal receipts about
twenty per cent during the past sixty
days. None of the gubernatorial
candidates are sending out campaign
literature from the capital, this work
being done at their respective homes.

The harder man has to work to

hers from him.

Bank Failure at Little Rock.

The Bank of Little Rock was forced to suspend payments on the 20th, owing, it is said, to advances made on fraudulent cotton com press receipts. According to the formation obtainable, the bank had made advances to the Alpin-Lake Cotton Company of $160,0O0 on something like 4,6oo bales of cot ton at 36 per bale, leaving, as it sup posed, a margin of at least $5.50 per bale. Of this amount the bank has bills of lading for 215 bales of cotton, and that is safe. For the remainder of the cotton the bank holds compress receipts on the compress at Fl Dorado, but it is al- legged the proper amount of cotton Is not in sight at Fl Dorado, and that the receipts were fraudulently issued. The Bank of Little Rock is not the only loser by the failure of ths Alpin-Lake Company, but oth- CT institutions were caught for small amounts. The Alphin-Lake Cotton Company is a firm compos- ed of Messrs. Alphin and E. II. Lake, with headquarters at Fl Do rado, and a branch office in Little Rock. Should it prove true that the bank has located only 215 bales of the cotton on which the money was advanced, its loss will be al- most complete, unless the railroad company can be held liable. MT. Lake, who managed the Little Rock branch of his firm, is said to have negotiated the loans on the ware house receipts. He left Little Rock a few days before the discovery of the alleged fraud perpetrated upon the bank. The Little Rock Trust Company, auxiliary to the Bank of Little Rock, with the same set of officials, also temporarily sus- pended payment This institution has in the neighborhood of 4,0O0 depositors, principally of the poor CT classes, to whom the loss of their savings would mean suffering and hardship, such as do. not fall on a heavy loser. The Trust Company, however, has resumed business.
