How To Make a Lawn.

lawns would greatly improve, the

should be thoroughly prepared, pull
verized and raked to smooth surface,
not only smooth and firm, but com
pact in every spot to prevent uneven
settling. This may be accomplished
by treading down and again filling to
grade where necessary. A liberal
quantity of seed should be sown, as

She feels it now that she is on the
verge of celebrating her Two hundred

Prophets in her small city DAYS would

short sighted burghers thought that
City Hall park would be forever the

later years they would have prevented
the emharrassments and ugliness of
the gridiron street layout uptown.
They would have secured progressive
dock improvements as tha city grew

CONTROVERSY MAY BE
 CRRIAED BEFORE PEOPLE.
Attorney General Murphy And Gov ernor Davis May Be Rival Candi- dates To Succeed Latter
 Convict Farm Purchase
 To Be The Issue.

Little Rock, Ark, March 3.-One of
 the interesting probabilities in con
 nection with the visit of the legislative
 committee to the State convict farm
 in Lincoln county is that both Gov.
 Davis and Attorney General Murphy
 will accompany the investigators. In view of the fact that these two officials
 are at loggerheads and that the breach
 has widened between them, great in terest will attach to the legislative
 committees junket.
 The committee will leave Little
 Rock next Friday morning, going by
 rail to Pine Bluff, thence by boat which will land them at the farm bordering on the Arkansas river.
 The committee is composed of Sena- tors Cotton, Hinkle and Brown and
 Representative Cook, of Chicot,
 Thompson, Chestnut, Campbell of
 Randolph and Parks.
 l The probable result of the bitter controversy is apparent this early. In
 his speech on February 12, replying to the governors message, Attorney
 General Murphy declared he would
 go before the people of Arkansas to | tell them of his side of the case. This | is construed to mean that he will be a
 candidate for governor in 1904. Gov.
 Davis is now serving his second term, and there is an unwritten law in Ar
 kansas against third terms in office.
 This rule caused the defeat of one of the most esteemed governors Arkan- sas ever had-Hon. Simon P. Hughes in 1888 in the Democratic State con- vention. The question arises, will Davis seek to break the custom and be candidate for third term? It is argued that the questions incident to the pending controversy will be live in the next campaign and that each
 side will appeal to the people. Gov. Davis has already announced himself
 a candidate for the United States sen ate to succeed Senator Berry in 1907, but he could serve third term as governor before the expiration oi
 Berry's term. It is believed by some
 that matters are shaping themselves
 as to render certain the governors
 candidacy for another term, and that
 Gen. Murphy will be pitted against
 him. In such event Arkansas would
 see one of the hottest campaigns ir her history.

HOUSE VOTES FOR EXTENSION.
Others May Share Pardoning Power With Governor-House Favors Separation Of School Taxes Paid By Whites And
 Blacks.

Little Rock, March 3.-In the house yesterday afternoon concurrent re- solution by MT. Pindall, providing for extension of the Thirty fourth gener- al assembly's session to May Il, was adopted by viva voce vote. The resolution, if adopted by the senate, would make the session 120 days.
 By vote of 45 to 30 the house pass ed Hon. w. A. Briant's bill, separat- ing school district taxes paid by whites and negroes and making negro free schools dependent upon taxes paid by negroes. The debate on the bill was one of the notwithstanding of the ses- sion so far.
 The house passed, 51 to 21, Mir. fills joint resolution proposing an amend ment to the constitution, so as to pro- vide for a state board of pardons, consisting of the governor, secretary of state and state auditor.
 A bill was introduced by Judge Mer- riman in the house providing for the completion of the new state capitol on the site of the old penitentiary at a cost not to exceed $1, ,OO0,OO0.
 The senate amended Senator Simp- sons bill providing for digesting and publishing the laws of Arkansas. The amendment provides that the digester be appointed by the governor by and with the advice and consent of the supreme court.
 A concurrent resolution was adopt ed by both branches inviting President Hartzog of the University of Arkan- sas to address the members last night
 A large number of bills were passed upon in both senate and house yester' day.

NEW AIUSSEL BEDS
 WILL BE SOUGHT.
Arkansas Field Will Be Abandoned Say Representatives of Northern Button Factories Other Riv-
 CTS Will Be Investigated.

Little Rock, March 3.-According to representatives of the pearl button factories of the United States the, Ar kansas field will be abandoned if the Myers bill, which has already passed both houses of the legislature, be- comes a law. This measure imposes closed season of three months and prohibits the taking of mussel shells by means of the crowfoot or the dredge.
 H. Johnson of New York, John Lewis of New Boston, H., and Geo. Marler of Dubuque, Iowa, who said they represented button factories in various parts of the country, stopped in Little Rock on their way to Indian Territory and Texas, where they will try to find new mussel beds. They left for Fort Gibson, which will be their first stopping place. While on this trip they will prospect along the Canadian, Cimaron, Washita and Red rivers. If they are successful in find- ing mussels they say they will give free transportation to men along the White and Black rivers i'll Arkansas who are willing to go and help them open the new beds. After prospect ing in the Southwest, the three repre- sentatives of the button factories will go to Tennessee and examine the n (tY1x, Iea 1 r.3x which they have been informed, are quantities of mussel shells awaiting a market
 According to these three men the pearl button factories of the United States have for the last two years de- pended on Arkansas entirely for shells. They have on hand only a small sup ply, and claim they have been taken at disadvantage by the passage of
 the Myers bill. There are plenty of other shells in the United States, but the beds must be opened and the trade established before the supply can be available for the factories They
 were counting on getting their raw material from Arkansas for some time in the future, for they say there are plenty of shells in this state. But the Myers bill has caused them to send
 out scouts on the double quick to look
 for new source of supply. The three
 men who were in Little Rock said the
 railroads had offered them every in-
 ducement to open new mussel shell
 beds in the Southwest. They claim
 that the Myers law will ruin the busi-
 ness in Arkansas because man can
 not harvest enough shells to make his
 work profitable if he is prohibited
 from using the crowfoot and the
 dredge.

Advancement for j. c. Garland.

The many friends in Winnesheik
county of j. @. Garland of Dubuque
will be glad to learn that he has just
received another promotion in his
work with the Northwestern Mutual
Life Ins. Co. Last week occurred the
death at Cedar Rapids of the state
agent, H. A. Munger, who was for
years one of the best known men in
Iowa and under whom Mr.. Garland
has worked as an assistant for several
years. Since his death the territory
which he controlled has been divided
and Mr.. Garland will be known as
the general agent for northeastern
Iowa, his territory extending as far
west as Ft. Dodge. This puts him as
high up in the business in Iowa as it
is possible for him to rise and will
give him a very profitable income.
Some idea of the volume of the bust
ness may be had from the fact that in
later years over a million dollars an
nually in premiums passed through
Mr. Munger's Office, on all Of which
he received his regular commission.
The change will not necessitate Mr..
G's. removal from Dubuque, where
he has but recently erected a fine
home.

separate from the work of the state
