The following from the Little Rock
Democrat will be read with interest
by the people of Pine Bluff, as
Shield u Whiting formerly resided
here and held a position in the office
of the Bluff City Lumber company:
Little Rock has another mysterious
disappearance case that will exercise
the ingenuity of the police to solve.
Shield \. Whiting. bookkeeper for the
r. n. Bunch Coal company, has been
missing since last Friday. in most
unaccountable manner, and his family
are becoming exceedingly anxious
about him. His father, Captain j. S.

The Little Rock Gazette today has
the following to say on the contests
for speaker of the house and president
Of the senate:
Hon. w. w Cate Of Jonesboro,
Craighead county. wired the Toney
delegation yesterday the announce
ment of his withdrawal from the race
for speaker of the next house. AS the
result of his withdrawal the Toney
men claim that the better part of the
Cate supporters have gone to II. II.
Toney among them John Keel of Jack
son county, who has been one of the
foremost Cate lieutenants in the race
up to the present Though Mr. Gates
withdrawal had been rumored, it was
the political sensation of the day.
4and Immediately brought matters be
tween John Ike Moore of Phillips
county and H. X Toney to a head
The headquarters of both candida tes
for speaker were a scene of hustle md
activity throughout the day. Col r. w
Crisp Of Searcy, White county, was al
so in the city yesterday, and an
nounees that he is in the speakership
race to the finish He has not open
ed headquarters, but will do so when
more of the representatives arrive.
The fight between Moore and Toney
has become intense.
John Keel formerly OF the Cate
forces, who has become one of the
Toney lieutenants, assures that gentle
man the support of the votes pledged
to Mr. Cate.
Both sides are equally confident and
claim that success is certain. While
the managers are reticent as to giving
figures, it is believed that none of
the candidates for speaker has a ma
5ority of votes pledged. The first
ballot, however, it is thought, will
settle the contest, According to one
man, not member of the house, 1t
is a "toss-up as to who will preside
over the deliberations of the lower
house.
There are perhaps little more than
one-third Of the members of the house
in the city. Many are expected to
arrive today.
