thanks to the United States senate for
the investigation into an Organiza ton

the Christian standard of marriage and

VERDICT NOT GUILTY.
Tyner and Barrett Have Been Acquit-
ted by the Jury.

Washington, May 26.-Within p
minutes of the retirement of the jury
in the case of James n. Tyner and
Harrison J. Barrett, tried on charge
of conspiracy in connection with their
duties of law officers of the postofice
department a verdict of not guilty
was returned. The thronE which filled
the court room through out the argu-
ments to the jury hardly had time to
leave the building before the jury was
back and the foreman announced that
a verdict had been reached. General
Tyner, expecting a longer wait, had
been wheeled from the room and his
nephew and co-defendant FASTENED to
give an order which caused him to re-
turn.
General Tyner appeared greatly ex-
cited as he attempted to face the jury
and when the verdict was returned he
broke down completely. Several of
the jurors wept with him, and all Of
them shook hands with him.
The Tyner- Barrett case was begun
on May ?, and has been before the
court nineteen full days.
The principal arguments made were
by A. S. Worthington for the defense
and Major Holmes Conrad, special
counsel for the government for pros
ecution. The latter directed his eff
forts almost entirely to an attempt to
cOunteract any influence on the
jurors verdict which might result
from sympathy for General Tyner. He
told the jury that they had no right
to entertain sympathy for General
Tyner or the young wife of Mr.. Bar
rett who was a witness in the de-
PENDANTS behalf

MISS STEPHENS RECITAL.

The recital given at the Hazel Thursday evening by Miss Jamie Stephens, assisted by Misses Mae Whitaker and Imogene Randy, was a success in every particular and was highly creditable to these gifted young ladies, each of whom possesses rare talents which have been highly culti- vated and proven a source of great pleasure to their many friends since their return from school. Miss Stephens is a very gifted reader and her interpreta- tion of Eugene Fields thought demonstrated her talent in this first requisite of elocution.
 Miss Whittaker's piano solo was highly appreciated, while Miss Bandy's vocal solo, "Little Boy Blue,' was we'll rendered and brought forth much applause from the large audience present.

OVERFLOW DANGER
 HAS BEEN PASSED.

Little Rock, July 15. From present indications little danger is expected from a further rise in the river. The stage Wednes- day was 24.6, a rise of 5 of a foot over the previous day. The danger point is 23.
 Officials of the weather bureau stated that a slow rise might be expected last night and that in all probability the river would come to stand today, with the indications of a gradual fall, be- ginning tonight.
 There is considerable water in the river between here and Fort Smith, and it is improbable that a big drop will take place for several days.
 There are no indications of heavy rains that would cause an additional rise of importance, although the general indications point to slight showers today and possibly tomorrow.

FLAIR JAPAN"

For the past few days a number of enthusiastic boomers of the
 Worlds Fair in St. Louis have been in this section chanting the glories of the pike, as the mid way there is termed. It is a strange fact, however, that there
 is not one among them but who admits that from a standpoint of educational value and artistic beauty there is not a spot along the Pike which can compare with "Fair Japan, the little garden spot which the we'll known Jap- anese firm of Kushibiki 6 Arai has constructed in the very heart of the turmoil and glare of this amusement addenda to the expo sition.

The atmosphere, the architectural scheme and the landscape gardening are typical in every detail of the country of which Sir Edwin Arnold has written so graphically.
 There are booths in which one may purchase almost anything from a penny whistle to a $500 kimono, tea houses in which beauties selected from the most popular resorts of Yokohama and other great cities of Japan serve tea to the thirsty multitude.

FORT SMITH SHERIFF
 RAIDS GAMBLING DENIS.

Fort Smith, June IA. Three or four days ago gambling was resumed here under the impress sion that the Law and Order so- ciety would not interfere. Late last night Sheriff Barry and his deputies made a raid upon all the club rooms and captured a number of the crap and poker tables, dice, cards and one rou- 1ette wheel, all of which were burned in accordance with the burning law.
 Some weeks ago, at the com mand of the Law and Order So.iety, all commercial and money slot machines were re- moved. They are again in use, and as no raid has been made upon them there is an impression that the society will not seek to interfere with them, on the ground that the opposition of the retail interests to drastic action in the way of reform de- mands modification of the re- form effort.

 to Gulf.

Little Rock, July 15. -Presi- dent H. s. Shaner of the St. Louis, Little Rock & Gulf rail- road has put up the $1,000 bond required by the board of trade as an evidence of good faith in requesting the raising of a be- nus of $1OO, 900 for the construc- tion of the proposed road to this city and the location of the shops and the general offices here. Messrs. George R. Mclean and Chas. s. Stifft are among those most actively interested in the raising of the bonus, and report very satisfactory progress.
 A surveying party. in charge of G. w. Dalgarn arrived yes terday from the south, having finished the locating survey be- tween here and Sheridan, the first forty miles of the road. They went out to run another line of three or four miles near Ironton, in order to make a choice of the most desirable route.
 President H. s. Shaner said, in denial of the rumor which has become current that the Rock Island is behind the project
 "I desire to state to the public and all interested that the Rock Island positively has nothing whatever to do with the road. It is an independent company and no road in the state of Ar kansas has anything to do with it."

make him happy? l have my doubts.
