WILD RAMPAGE OF TOWN COW
Damaged Part of a House at Hardy N and Even Tumbled Into bed
 Then Escaped to the Woods.

Hardy, June 9-One of the most unusual occurrences ever witnessed in this city took place yesterday. A c o W belonging to D. E. Jackson started through the center part of town, switching her tail pretty lively and looking as if something was go- ing to happen. Suddenly she put on all the steam she had and made a dead run along Third street until she struck down grade. At this point the register failed to work and no one will ever know how fast she was running. When almost down h 6 grade Mrs. Cow came in contact with 8 dwelling house occupied by Thos. Hicks. The house is apparently a good, strong house, but it did not stop the COW. She knocked out about 8 feet of the kitchen wall, landed in side the kitchen and smashed the cook stove, dishes and furniture in more scientific manner than Aunt Carrie Nation could have done. The COW then tried to escape, but struck the wrong door and went into bedroom, broke several chairs, turned over a bureau and landed on the bed. By this time Mir. Hicks had gone to a neighbours house to borrow a long,
 range gun, but before he got his artil- lery arranged for shooting, the COW had fled to the woods. A posse of men searched for the COW until the sun went down but could not find her.
 The cause of the cow's strange actions is not known, but evidently she had right of way over everything she met

ADVANTAGE OF
 KNOXVILLE SCHOOL.

The teachers of Arkansas who are thinking of attending summer school this summer can find no place more desirable than the Summer School of the South to be held at Knoxville. Those in charge have provided for a faculty of the most distinguished edu- cators of the country, 93 in number. The location of the school is desirable as Knoxville is one of the healthiest and most picturesquely situated cities in the South. 2,OOo from the South attended this school last summer, and fully as large an attendance is ex- pected this year. On account of the cheap railroad rates, am sure Ar kansas will be well represented in this school this summer. b tJ1

ESCAPED CONVICTION
 BY CLOSE CALL.

key Davidson, who asked and se- cured change of venue from the court of Justice Guy Smith, was brought up before Esquire L. B. Harris Wednesday afternoon to answer trial on the charge of vagrancy. The jury by vote of five to one, stood for conviction.
 During the progress of the trial the defendants attorney charged an off, cer of the law, who was witness in the case, with having testified to a falsehood and was forthwith and inn mediately laid violent hands upon. Friends of the parties intervened and put quietus upon this little scene in court.
 There is strong public sentiment demanding that vagrants be made to suffer the penalty of the law and Davidson will be given another trial Monday.

CELEBRATION aDIED A -BoRNIN' J

The celebration of July Fourth upon the part of Newport will probably not be held for the year 1903. The move ment has ''died abornin' ' though the corpse might be resuscitated by wig orous and united action upon the part of the citizens.
 The meeting announced for Tuesday evening was never held, through fail ure of any crowd to congregate and though the committee secured a sub- scription of $240, nothing will probab- ly be done. Charles Meyer, who has been the hardest worker in the move- ment, has turned the list over to R. T. Simmons, discouraged over the lack of cooperation upon the part of our citizens. Newport is short on enter prise and public spirit if this affair is to meet so early frost and has yet to learn that sloth and selfishness are the stumbling blocks upon which fall many towns that are by virtue of To- cation destined to become cities, if only opportunities are grasped.

The rapid and steady growth OF
Willmar is plainly shown by tho de.
mand for increased school room.
When three years ago the district
made provision for three new school.
houses almost everybody felt that we
were building for the future and had
made provision for the increase for q
long term of years. It was undoubt-
eddy great surprise to many who
thought the provision made then OK.
travagant, to be informed at the last
school meeting that next year it would
be necessary to provide more school
rooms. Tho high school building il
already overcrowded; every room in
the Lincoln and Garfield buildings is
fully occupied, and there is only one
room left vacant in the Lafayette
building, and that will be put into use
soon. There must be an addition
built either to the high school or the
Lincoln school building next summer.
This indicates that Willmar is more
than keeping up with the phenomenal
growth 1t enjoyed during the last
decade of the nineteenth century.

Grove City Times.
The authorities at Willmar who
have been trying to break up the blind
pig business over there have had .
man on trial three times and. three
times the jury has disagreed The
evidence in the last trial was pub
lished in the Tribune, and, to q disin-
terested person, looks pretty strongly
in favor. of establishing case against
the defendant Having failed three
times the case was dismissed.-Madi-
son Independent Press.
Ten or twelve years ago Willmar
was known as one of the toughest sa-
loon-ridden communities in the state.
Today, thanks to the aggressiveness
of her better class of citizens, she Is
one of the cleanest cities in the north
west. During these years she has
nearly trebled in population and VOL
umes of business done. The change
for the better was not accomplished
by winning one election nor half q
dozen OF them. The strongly in
trenched liquor element has won more
than one battle. Driven from one in.
trenchment it at once seeks shelter be-
hind another. Willmar is q ''hot
place for law-breakers and their sym
pathizers, but is becoming an ideal
city for home builders and good law
abiding citizens.

Honest Business Methods.

When applied to amusements of any
character usually result in many sue
cesses for the venture. One of the
first Shows to adopt this principle,
and one that has always retained it
under all circumstances, is Gentry
Bros. famous Shows, and from a
small exhibition of opera house
dimensions, it has gradually grown,
until it now represents the largest
trained animal show in the world:
Every city where ? the Gentry Bros.
have ever visited, their performances
are greeted with the same enormous
audiences, and the announcement OF
the coming of -. the exhibition
is eagerly looked toward to. by
everybody in the entire domain. This
season finds the Gentry Bros. much
enlarged and even SURPRISING them
selves. A special feature is made OF
the suberb street display, which will
be given on the morning of the date OF
exhibition, which has been definitely
announced as Monday, July q. Tents
