Some Of the republican SPELL
binders are claiming that the re-
duced majority given Governor
Davis at the late election proves
that Arkansas is leaning toward
Roosevelt. But those who make
the statement know better. The
reduced majority given Governor
Davis is due entirely to the feel
ing held against the governor BY
thousands of democrats in Ar
kansas and his unpopularity
among them. Roosevelt is ut
terly disliked by Arkansas dem
ocrats, and the state will give the
national democratic ticket the
usual majority.

The election commissioners
have recounted the votes cast al
Waldron, in Hickman township,
Scott county, for the office of
representative, by request Of j,
M. Hough, the republican can
didate, only one township (Hick-
man) being counted, with the re-
suit that Hough was DECLARED to
have received-as shown by the
ballots of said township-thirteen
votes majority over r. E. Ses-
sions, Democrat-and so the mat
ter rests. The official count
showed Sessions six votes ahead,
but the recount shows Hough
elected by thirteen majority. 1t
is reported that Sessions will sub
NIT the case to the next general
assembly Of Arkansas for final
action and settlement.

The opinion is growing among
the people that if the same sort
of politics is practiced in Arkan-
sas the next few years as the state
has had the past few years, the
state can be placed in the doubt
full column. There are good
grounds for this opinion, and the
returns of the late election fur
nisb food for thought along this
line. We must clean up, if we
expect to perpctuate the party in
Arkansas. We ought to purity
our politics, and cast out the OBJ
iectionable men, because good
government and pure citizen
ship demands it, without waiting
until it is a necessity merely to
regain power.

Senator James H. Berry stated
positively that he would measure
strength with Governor Davis at
the polls in 1905. This is the
first announcement Senator Ber-
ry has made of his intentions
since Governor Davis announced
his candidacy for the United

Murder at BatesViIle.
.heriff Jeff D. Morgan Shot
Down While in Discharge
: of His Duty. Murderer
Barely Saved From
Angry Mob.

Sheriff jeff D. Morgan Of In
dependence county was shot and
Instantly killed, about 6 O'Clock
OF Thursday of last week at
Ratesville, while in the perform
ance of his duty. The killing
was done by Robert Causby, a
young man about 20 years old,
who was born and raised in In
dependence county. Causby was
resisting arrest.
About three years ago, Causby
stole some goods from a wagon
ir Union township, Independence
county. He was indicted for the
crime, but ran away. On the
day Sheriff Morgan was killed,
he received word from Newport
that Causby was on the train
coming to Batesville. When the
train arrived, the young man
was met in the street by the
sheriff and asked if his name was
Causby. He said it was, and
started running, with the sheriff
in pursuit. They had ran only
short distance when Caushy
turned and fired at Morgan,
who was only few feet behind
him. The bullet, Colts 38,
entered the officers left breast,
passed through the body, sever
ing the main arteries Of the
heart. Sheriff Morgan lived but
a few moments, his last words
being, "Boys, he has killed me-"
When Sheriff Morgan fell,
.y,.,s..,e5 z. - HARDY seized his pistol
and began race with the mur-
derer. Hardy fired four shots at
him, but missed, and Causby ran
into a barn. A crowd quickly
surrounded the building, but it
was not until a volley of shots
had been fired into the barn that
the murderer threw his pistol
away and walked out with hands
up.
After the capture of Causby,
the widest excitement prevailed.
The prisoner was hurried to jail,
surrounded and followed by a
surging, excited crowd. Cries of
"Lynch him!" arose, and it is
said all that saved the prisoners
neck was the lack of q real lead
er for the crowd. Once a rope
was placed around his neck, but
he was rescued. Coroner Stew
art attempted to remove him to
Newport, but the crowd refused
to.permit it.
Judge Fulkerson, who was at
Newport holding court, tele-
phoned that he would convene a
special session of court within
ten days to try the prisoner.
Sheriff Morgan was a very
popular man and a faithful Of
ficer. He had just received an
endorsement for a second term,
and had no opposition either in
the primaries or general election.
The manner in which he met his
death has Mortified the people Of
Independence county, and feel
ing runs high against the mur-
derer.

May corn was down h were were e9tremeiy T % weak, weak closing Isas7ssc lower Wheat opened with an easier feeling and a general inclination to sell English consols were higher and the general tone of foreign dis cidedly more pacific Receipts also were more liberal and the weather map gave promise of excellent conditions for the movement At the start May was unchanged to Ac lower at S6h @66x and with no support continued to de- cline. The weakness at Minneapolis added to the depression hero and before the declining tendency was checked May sold oc to 86A, a loss of [ cnt from the high point. At the de- cline there was liberal support from commits sion houses and the leading long also support of the loss was recovered. The late strength in coarse grains was helped and steady tone prevailed at the close with May at e6 @66h. Clearances equaled 399. 300 bushels Primary receipts were .0e4. 800. against 64o,- 700 a year ago. Worlds visible supplies, ac- cording to Bradstreets increased 9l,ooo bushels, as against large decrease last year. Minneapolis Duluth and Chicago reported 630, against 53s last week and 434 year ago.
 Corn was inclined to drag early and was weak in sympathy with wheat The local crowd was against the market and sold freely. Later in the day considerable covering devel- oped and there was also active buying by the same interest that supported wheat Increased offerings from Illinois and Nebraska were largely responsible for the bearish attitude of the local traders. The close was fairly firm, May AQ%c lower at 46h after opening a shade higher to h61kc lower at 46ss6467S and selling between 46 and 46%. Receipts 4o2 cars, 3 contract.

London's Influence Largely Respon- sible or the Early Heavy Tone and United States Steel

NEW YORK, Jan 6.--The stock market to- day was rather dull and decidedly spotty and the tone was irregular throughout. The tone showed some improvement after London had ceased trading for tho day, but the late strength was not held and the closing was ir regular afte sharp reaction. The speculation was varied and prices did not move fully in unison London's influence was largely re- sponsible for the early heavy tone. although the pending action the United States Steel dividends and the question of the showing to were oppressive influences on the general list. The announcement that the directors would ance that the dividend declaration would not be known until the market had closed and caused additional hazard in the trading Spec. ulative feeling on the subject was indicated by the betting on the curb on the dividend prospect. heavy odds being offered against any dividend being declared on the common stock. wagers were not made in the dividend to be declared on the preferred stock. but bets were made that the next dividend on the pre- ferred stock would be reduced Another active center of speculation during the day was one time over 2 points. The London market far raw copper continued to advance on large purchases and the official price in domestic market also rose sharply. Some attempt was made to make the war outlook factor in the copper movement, owing to the share of the Japanese production in the worlds supply of market, however showed a waning influence. The severity of the weather was made an ar- gument for advancing the price of the coalers. conspicuously Reading. and some of the high priced members of the group. The reopening of the anthracite mines after Q ten-day in- terval of dullness also helped the group to a degree. A prominent feature of the days trad ing was the marking up of @ group of smaller railroad stocks in which a common interest is largely dominant Chicago and Alton, Colo rado and Southern; Toledo, St. Louis and Western; Minneapolis and St. Louis and Iowa Central were all included in the group and Chicago Terminal Transfer might be added. Rumors to explain the rise varied from a trans-continental railway project to embrace Union Pacific. Chicago and Alton, Toledo St. Louis and Western to a combination of the smaller raods into only one property after the manner of the Rock Island system. No au- thoritative information could be had on any of the rumors. Rock Island was conspicuously weak on the large decrease in net earnings re- ported for November and helped to unsettle the closing market. United States Steel also weakened suddenly, carrying back the pre- ferred with 1t for practically all of its earlier gain.
