/, WHITE RIVER RISING.

The farmers and timbermen in the bottom lands along White and Black river are much alarmed over threatened overflow. In the cultivated bottoms much corn and cotton has been planted and all this will be ruined by a high stage of water. The timbermen have been delayed all spring and the mills shut down by high water and it was only recently that anything could be accom- plished.
 Fayetteville has reported two further heavy rainfalls and the downpour of Saturday and Sun- day night, which marked a depth of over two inches on the local gauge, is thought to have been general over this section of states.
 Cotter reports a 19 foot rise, Calico Rock Is feet and Bates vile 10 feet. The river is still rising at all these places, though only slowly at Cotter.
 Black river is not so threaten ing and only the last rains affected that sluggish stream. Elgin reports a rise, however.
 Some river men look for twenty feet of water here, but general opinion does not place the gauge report higher than 15, though White had reached 10.7 feet Mon day morning.

This is said to be a great sensational hit, sung by all the principal singers in theatri- cal productions and on the vaude-- vile stage. This song is now be- ing sung to three and four en- cores nightly all over the country.
 CHORUS.
 Have you heard of little Japan? We'll, if you haven't you can; Her feats military
 Have put in a furry
 The overgrown sons of Ivan, Hurrah for little Japan.
 She fights on an up-to-date plan, Big Russia may buster,
 But never can muster,
 The force to whip little Japan.
 Upon receipt of 25 cents in postage stamps, copy of this beautiful song will be mailed to any address in the United States by the Theatrical Music Supply Co.,, No. 46 West. 18th street, New York.

 The White river valley is des- tined to become one of the most famous sections in the United States for growing alfalfa. Each year the fact is more thoroughly demonstrated that it is the home of that plant. The yield of hay is equal to that of the irrigated sections and this fact enables our farmers to grow it at a much less expense than those of New Mexico and Cali fornia. -Batesville Bee.

The Transcontinental Passenger As
ISOLATION which VIII meet in Santa
Barbara is going to Investigate the
charge that several railroads have Sc
cret dealings with Broker Adolh OF
finger of san Francisco It is under
stood that the investigation is instigat-
ed by the railway protective bureau,
which has been after Ottinger for
nearly a year without making any
Roadway.
The bureau however, has determin-
ed to make a fight on Ottinger, and
II any railroad or railroads are stand
ing back OF him the fullest publicity
VIII be given the facts when ascertain
ed Ever since the railroads began
their fight of determination against
the brokers OttnEer has been the
chief thorn in their side. He is by
far the largest and most influential
broker IN the world
News has just been received by the
bureau that Ottinger now controls
three scaIDers' offices in Denver. and
he is known to have two in Chicago.
Furthermore, he is said to own
string Of brokerage concerns from
san Francisco to the seaboard and in
all the principal cities of the East and
Middle West.
All efforts hitherto made TO reach
Otunger have. it is said. met luke
warm suppOrt-frOm certain influential
roads, and the bureau realizes that
with Otunger in the field and growing
stronger each year their fight against
ticket scalping is somewhat farcical.
