and the form shown by Miss Anthony
are Of especial interest because they
indicate that the west will have a
formidable candidate this year for the
national woman's championship, held
in the fall Western players have in
the championship honors, as the sue
cesses OF the professionals Fouls,
Herd, w. Smith and Auchter1onie in
the open event, and of amateurs Mac
Donald, Whigham and James in the
amateur event testify. So far as the
scroll OF honor in the women's cham
pionship is concerned, however, there
has been distressing vacancy as far
as western names are concerned. If
there is any one player west of the AL
legheny mountains capable of upset

ern players it is Miss Anthony, and on
her the hopes of the west will to a
large extent center when the women
enperts meet on the links of the Chi

PROMPT SETTLEMENT
 OF INSURANCE CLAIM.

Weldon, Ark, July 30, 1904. To Whom it May Concern:
 This is to certify that we had our church house insured against fire and wind in the American Insurance Company of Little Rock, Ark, and the house was blown over in storm. The company very promptly put it back at large expense in better condition and stronger than it was before the storm. We thank the American Insurance Compa- ny for its promptness in re- placing our church to our entire satisfaction and we recommend the company to those who have houses to insure.

PREPARE REMONSTRANCE.

The Little Rock board of trade has requested F. 0. Melcher, general superintendent of the Rock Island, for a daily train from Newport to that city and return, arriving there in the morning and departing in the evening.
 This train would prove as det- rinental to Newport's trading interests as it would be advan- tageous to Little Rock aud the local merchants are preparing a very vigorous remonstrance on such change, which is being generally signed.

MONKEYING WITH
 THE MOVERS.

A flock of covered wagons just from Missouri passed through Portia a few days ago. They wanted water for their stock and were in search of the town pump. The. Portia boy as a rule is a jolly joker and allows no one to crowd him out of the front seat. A crowd of boys cited the mov- CTS just from Howell county to the mail crane. The leader of the procession got hold of one crank and yanked away. The boys told them that it took two to run that pump, one hold of each crank. This plan was adopted, but no water came. After a thorough effort to ex- tract water from the crane, the party said they guessed they did not understand that up-to-date pump and moved on to the river.

PROHIS' CAMPAIGN
 FOR MILLER COUNTY

Texarkana, Aug. 8. For the first time in it's history a cam- paign is being waged by the pro- hibitionists to carry Miller county against license at the approach ing state election in September. For several weeks the prohibi- tionists have been holding meet ings and organizing in the rural districts of the county.
 A week ago Revs. Adams of Naples, two of the ablest prohi- bition leaders in the county, pitched a large tent in the Miller county court house yard and opened up a big prohibition revi- val meeting.
 Crowds have attended from the first and much interest is being manifested. Yesterday Mir. Adams addressed an i'm mense audience composed of men only in the tent. His subject was "The Social Evil, or the Strongest Man in the World.
 The meetings will continue un-
 
 til Wednesday, when the lectur- CTS will go to other points in the county. The campaign is grow ing warm and the result is very doubtful.

WANTS HER SON
 REFUSED LICENSE.

Recorder Abingdon of Poplar Bluff on Monday, says the Citi- zen-Democrat, received a letter from Mrs. Sarah J. Foster of Swifton, Ark, instructing him upon no account to grant mar riage license to her son, Manford Foster, who she says is under 21 years of age.
 It seems that the fond parent has cause.to believe her hopeful son is on his way here to solemn ize his nuptials with the devoted object of his hearts desire. If he comes here, however, disap- pointment seems sure to over- take him.

MOVING CONVICT CAMP.


 Yellville, Aug. 9. The large force of convicts laying the track on the railroad now stationed at Flippin will be moved to Yell vile right away, as the track has practically been laid to town.
 Work is being pushed on the road from the town to the de- pot site and it is proposed to make this the best driveway to be had. It is only distance of a mile and a half, and already about $700 has been expended on the same.

LETHIA FOWLER
 SENT TO PEN.
Judge Hutton Grants a New Trial After Her Conviction of Murder in Second
 Degree at Searcy.

Scar y, Aug. 9. Mrs. Lethia Fowler was last night convicted of murder in the second degree and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. The jury was out about two hours when it re- turned the verdict. She was charged with killing her son-in- law, Wesley Middleton.
 Shortly after the verdict was brought in a motion for a new trial was granted by Judge Hut ton. The motion was argued by Attorney Brundidge for the de- fendant and Prosecuting Attor- ney Andrews and J. V. Roberts for the state. A hot argument followed.
 An application for bail was made and Mrs. Fowler was re- leased on S1, 800 bond.
 The sensational feature of the trial was the fact that Mrs. Alice Middleton, wife of the murdered man, swore against her mother. She stated that she believed her husband had been killed by her mother and hoped she would be convicted and sentenced.
 Judge Hutton's action in grant ing the new trial caused a good deal of comment and came in the nature of a surprise.
 The grand jury returned forty two indictments. Court ad- journed at 12 o'clock last night after being in session three weeks, during which time five were sentenced to the peniten- tiary.

DEPUTY MARSHAL
 BADLY SLASHED.
Newark Officer Fares Badly in Mix-Up With Duffy Williams
 at Ball Game Monday.

Deputy City Marshal George Pearce of Newark was badly worsted during the seventh in- ming of the Newark-Heber base ball game Monday afternoon in a mix-up with Duffy Williams, who lives in the country near Newark.
 Williams had been roofing for the visiting team and had thus made the officer sore, who under took to arrest him (Williams) when he became too boisterous. The latter agreed to submit pro- vided another officer took him and had started to town when it is said Pearce approached.
 Whereupon Williams whipped out a knife and slashed Pearce across the body. A number of others jumped on Williams and badly beat him, but he gave a good account of himself and his sister came to his assistance with her umbrella, which she used to effect over the heads of the crowd.
 Williams was taken before the mayor and gave bond for his ap- pearance Saturday.
 Newark won the ball game by a score of 10 to 2. Randy and Ruddell composed the winning battery and Heber was clearly outclassed.

BAPTIST MINISTER
 SHOT TO DEATH.
Atkins Tragedy Deplored by Peo- pie \ Suspects Thought to Have Sought Another
 Man.

Austin, Aug. 8. An awful tragedy occurred last Saturday night about 8 o'clock, near Oak Grove, a church a few miles north of Atkins, in which Rev. Kirk Johnson, a Baptist minister and good citizen, was shot through the head, under the left eye, with a 38-caliber pistol. The unfortunate man fingered until 4 o'clock Sunday morning and died.
 MT. Johnson had gone to the church, but was sick and thought he would return home before the service, and on his way home, when about one-half mile from the church, he met two men in the road, who spoke to the min ister, and then shot him down. James and Jesse Mills, who, with a man named Chronister, are under arrest, are the men who met him in the road. They have made confession, and give as a reason for shooting the min isler that he raised his hat and scared them. The general opin- ion is that they thought they were getting another man, since they had nothing against Mir. Johnson.
 The tragedy is deplored by the good citizens of the community.
 MT. Johnson was an honorable citizen and a good preacher.

 That the work of pushing the track laying along the White River road to the James river will soon begin in earnest we tainly can rely upon, as longer delay can hardly be had in the work, owing to the fact that the bridges along the line cannot be completed until track is so far completed as to enable the heavy material to be hauled to places needed by rail.
 The first train on the White River road carrying passengers arrived from Carthage about 3::3O p. m. today, consisting of an en- zine and one coach containing quite number of passengers. - Aurora (Mo. Miner.
