The TAI .236 commercial bales of the crop of 1903 are equivalent to 734.- 593 bales of 300 pounds. This gives Arkansas a percentage of 7.5 of the total crop of the United States. and ranks her seventh in the cotton states and territories
 The total value of the Arkansas cotton crop for 1903 was s49299. .61025 of which the baled cotton. aggregat- ing 351,964.105 pounds. amounted to s42, ,79S. .S3517. and cotton seed S65O0,- 775.0S, representing 351.96i tons of seed.
 In 1902 the total value of the cotton crop in Arkansas was 45.689. .292 23, of which the cotton. aggregating 465,- 030.957 pounds. amounted to s38,132,- 538.4S. and the seed ,031 tons. $7,556.7
 It is interesting to note that. owing to the advanced prices of cotton. while the 1903 crop was 113.066.8 .852 pounds short compared with 1902 Ia falling off of 25 per cent). the value of it was $4.666. .29663 greater
 The quantity and value of linters obtained by the cotton seed oil mills from reginning seed from the crop of 1903 in Arkansas was 9.146,532 pounds, or 1921 commercial bales. equal to 1928 bales of 800 pounds. of the value of S411 .593.94. The report shows B oil mills in operation in the state

Lightle was one of the most prom inent citizens in Searcy. He leaves wife and several children. who were visiting out of town when he met with his tragic death.

Crop Conditions.

The summary of the weekly crop bulletin of the Arkansas section of the weather bureau for the week end ing May 23, is as follows:
 The weather has been favorable tor farming operations and has en- abled the farmers to finish replant- ing and planting over. and to culti- vate their crops. The nights have been too cool for the proper growth of vegetation and warmth is needed rain has fallen in some localities and has been beneficial, while mois- ture Is needed in other localities. Corn Is generally backward and mak- ing slow growth; the stand is fair as rule. but there Is some complaint of the stand being unsatisfactory; cultiyating is progressing and in some places is being plowed the sec ond time. Continued cool weather has been unfavorable for cotton. It Is coming up slowly and complaints of irregular stands continue from nearly all sections; some is dying; cut worms have appeared in some To- calities and are doing some damage; chOpping has commenced and as rule the crop is clean. Garden truck and Irish potatoes continue to do well. Fruit prospects have improved and there promises to be an abund- ance of fruit of all kinds; apples are dropping. but that is more beneficial than otherwise, as the trees are too heavily laden.

Saloon Men Indicted.

A big sensation was created when the final report of the last Pulaski country grand jury was read in open court, on account of language used which reflected on the mayor of Lit tie Rock and the mayor of North Lit tie Rock The report declared that saloons had been kept open on Sun day also that gambling was being carried on, and that police officers had failed to enforce the law. Judge Lea refused to receive the report, in structing the jury that if they had evidence showing the heads of the two city governments had not made proper effort to enforce the law, they should be indicted. Twenty saloon proprietors were indicted for violat ing the Sunday closing law.

AUTOMOBlLlSTS ATTACKED.

New York. May 25.-Repeated at- tacks on automobilists by east side hoOdlums. which eliminated, Sunday. in the probable fatal woundiag of Mrs. Wm. c. Gottschall, who was struck on the head by large stone, have brough: out plan by the police to protect mo- torists on their way to various ferries. So vicious have these attacks become that scarcely an autocar has reached some of the ferries recently without bearing marks of it's passage.
 Adequate measures are extremely hard to frame. but the police depart ment has arranged a scheme whereby. beginning next Sunday. certain broad streets leading to every east side ferry will be under special patrol and the chaffeurs who may wish to free them selves of showers of tin cans, stones. etc., will be invited to use those route5.

ENTIRE PUBLIC
 GIVEN BENEFIT
Fifty Admissions to the Worlds
 Fair for $I2.5o.
GREAT CHANCE FOR VISITORS
Those Who Go to the Fair For an Extended Stay Have n Chance to Reduce their Outlay
 for Admissions.

St. Louis. May 25.-As the result of an extended conference between the ex- ecutiye committee of the exposition and the members of the national com mission it has been agreed that the sale of half-rate admission tickets to the Worlds fair should be extended to the general public.
 The conference was occasioned by the action of the national commission, last Friday. in refusing to approve the proposition of the Worlds fair man. agement to sell to subscribers to ex- position stock. who had paid up fifty coupon, photographic. non-transferable tickets at s1250 each.
 The refusal of the commission to ap- prove the proposition was on the ground that such a sale at the reduced rates constituted declaration of divi- dends on Worlds fair paid-up stock, and that it transgressed the law. which required that the national government should be considered preferred credi- tor of the exposition company, and that no first lien should be given 70 other creditors to the prejudice of the government
 The question was taken up at the meeting for a full and free conference and was finally settled by the adoption of an addition to Article of the by Ia nf which the fifty-coupon tickets may be sold to stockholders of the exposition and all others desiring them at $12.5 on or before June 15.
 The addition to the rules provides that any stockholder of the exposition company, or any persons presenting an order from the national commission to the treasurer of the company, may at any time prior to June 15, purchase for $12.50 one photographic. non-transfera- ble ticket with fifty coupons attached each coupon good for one admission tc the fair, at any time on or before De- cember 1, 1904.
 The effect of the adopted rule is tc give the public the benefit of the re- duced rate, as it Is said that 1t is the intention of the national commission immediately to prepare the order blanks and to make all arrangements to issue them to all applicants,
 The pational commission will not issue these orders to any person who Is already subscriber to the capital stock of the exposition company, as the holler of such stock is privileged to buy the half-rate coupon tickets with out such order.
 The general sale of the half-rate tickets will place what Is practically a seaeon ticket within the reach of al- most every one The price of the sea- son tickets IS s25, and the book of cou- pons contains a coupon of admission for every day in the year. As very few will use all of the coupons, il Is thought that there will be an enor- nous sale of the half-rate tickets to persons who regard them as being in effect a season ticket.
 The sale of the half-rate tickets to stockholders. which was suspended af- ter the adverse ruling of the national commission. has been resumed.
