ELECTION AFIERMA 7H.

An analysis of the results ot the election of November 6 shows some very encouraging features to the nations Democracy. The Repub- lican majority in the national house of representatives has been cut all most in half, and the roll of the next house will be: Republicans, 223; Democrats, I63.
 This reduces the Republican ma jority to 50. When the present house was organized the Republi- cans had 24o members, against I37 Democrats, majority of II2. The Democrats, therefore, have gained seats held by 26 Republicans in the present house.
 One fifth of this gain appears to have been made in Illinois, where, although the state gave the Repub- lican state ticket more than Ioo,- GOO plurality, the Republicans lost three congressional districts in Chi .cago. and two more down state, giving them six instead of one in the congressional delegation.
 In Kentucky, on the other hand the Republicans have doubled theii congressional delegation, having elected four representatives, against swo in the present house.
 New York's delegation in cong ress has been changed from twenty six Republicans and eleven Dem ccrats to twenty-five Republicans and twelve Democrats.
 New Jersey, too, has contributed to the Democratic column ot gains. Her present. membership of nine Republicans and one Democrat has been changed to seven Republicans and three Democrats.
 Tn Indiana the Democrats have made gains especially pleasing to the party managers. The latest 6gures from that state give the Democrats five members out o

Crowds Going to the Circus.

Intense interest has been aroused in this community by the an. nouncement that Ringling Broth. CTS immense circus IS to exhibit in Little Rock, Saturday, Nov. r. Several big excursions will go from this vicinity and local people will be we'll represented at the big show. Those who go from here should make every effort to arrive in time to see the magnificent new free street parade, which is given in the morning preceding the opening performance. Three miles ot parade glories are divided into thirty sections and each section is a show in itself-a parade such as the world has never seen before. Ia this wonderful display are shown 100 beautiful densy lairs and cages of rare wild animals, a herd of for. ty big and little elephants, $50 horses, and I28o people. One sec tion of the procession is devoted to magnificent and costly floats, rep resenting Germany, Russia, Eng land, France, India, Persia, Scot land, the United States, and other countries. The performance that follows, and which includes the superb spectacular production of The Field of the Cloth of Gold, is the most magnificent display O' arenic wonders ever presented by any amusement enterprise ir America. The menagerie is filled to overhowing with rare beasts and birds, including the only baby ele phant bred and successfully raised in the United States, the only rhi noceros in captivity and the las living pair of giraffes.

NEW ROAD FROM LITTLE ROCK
Seventeen Mile Lumber Line
 to be Built.
Lumber Company Proposes to Erect Mammoth Sawmill, with Raii-
 way into Timber.

Little Rock, Nov. I3.-Ihe Business Mems League IS making an effort to secure a track of land containing eighty acres, four miles from the city, upon which the A. l l. Niemeyer Lumber Company de sires to erect a mammoth saw null, and also to secure a right of way for seventeen miles into a large track of land, containing near 100. .ooo acres, recently acquired by the Niemeyer Lumber Compa- ny.
 If this is carried out 1t IS said to be the intention of the lumber company to build standard rall- road for that distance, upon which the timber to be cut from that section will be brought to the mill.
 It is the intention of those inter e ted to locate the mill near the Arkansas Brick and Manutactur- ing Company. in the southwestern section in the city and Ii arrange ments can be made to connect with the switch of the Iron Moun- tain which now penetrates the brick company's property.
 It is said to be the intention of the new company to connect with the Fourche River Valley and In dian Territory Railroad, and thus secure connections with the Rock Island at Fourche. If the Ark ansas Central should be extended from Paris to Ola, and the new Ola Dardanelle line be extended to a connection with the Fourche River Valley and Indian Territlry Railroad, by this means the mill, four miles from the city, would se- cure a connection with the Fort Smith.
 It is stated that practically all the land composing the So acre tract to be used for the mill, has been secured by the Business Mems League and that much progress has been made on buying the right of way for the new line.
 Those in charge of the matter are leaving no stone unturned to secure the building of the road, and if accomplished will mean much to this section, as 1t will open up a territory uow without any means of reaching the city.

 On November 8, Ioo6, the mes senger of death, by order of the Grand Master of the Universe, re- moved from our midst Brother J. w. Underhill, and here we pauae to pay a tribute to his memory. He was a true and loyal member of our order, a correct and up. fight Mason, who in all his journeys from east to west and from west to east proved himself a true friend honest in every action and ever ready and willing to aid worthy brother.

 In the meridian of his life he was raised to the sublime degree and we, his brethren who regret his death, offer this resolution to his memory:
 Resolved. That by the death of Brother J. w.

HISTORY IS NEARLY READY
Volume of Arkansas Historical Association
 Publication in Printers Hands.

Volume I of the publications ot the Arkansas Historical Associa- ton will soon be ready for delivery. The manuscript is now in the hands of the printer. It will be a larger and more important publication than originally advertised. twill have about 500 pages and will con tain in addition to an inventory ot the source material of Arkansas history Gnvaluable reference work) chapters on "Reminiscences ot the Secession Convention by surviving members; Charles Fenton, Mercer Noland and Miss Alice French by Professor J. H. Shinn; an interpre- tation of the symbols found ln the Menard Mound in Arkansas coun- ty by H. l.. Stoddard, official cor respondence of Governor Iza.d d, 1925 26, original accounts of De- Soto's journey through Arkansas, list of field and general officers in the Confederate army for Arkansas by Colonel V. Y. Cook, and presi- dential reconstruction in Arkansas.
 This will be an epoch making volume. It marks great step for ward. It means much for the his tory of Arkansas. This movement to rescue our history from oblivion is patriotic and should have the support of all public spirited cit izens. Those desiring a copy should at once address the secretary I. H.

thirteen, while there is a chance that the number will go up to seven.
 Missouri has swung back into the Democratic column, with twelve Democrats to four Republi- cans, her delegation in the present house standing nine Republicans to seven Democrats.
 The defeat of MT. Hearst in New York and election of the remainder of the Democratic ticket in that state is another favorable omen to the party. To elect Hearst would have been to raise up in pivotal state a powerful national figure, whose ambition knows no bounds, and who would have to be reckon ed with when the party comes to name its standard bearer two years hence.
 His defeat puts him beyond the pale for highest party honors and will leave Bryan unchallenged for the nomination. The accompany ing Democratic victory in New York proves that that state may yet be won over to the party's presidential candidate.

He Will Accept the FOraker Amendment
 of a Year Ago
Statement That He Will Not Entertain Motion for Concurrence in the Pending Referendum Provision Whose Adoption by the Senate is Conceded.

Washington, Mar. 2.-There is wide spread belief in both branches of con gress that the F'oraker amendment to the statehood bill will pass the senate. The speaker himself is believed to look forward to this event ard interest IS revived as to what course he is likely to take when the bill comes hack to the house in it's amended form.
 Representative Tawney, who voted for the house program against the in surgents when the measure was put to the vote in the house asked Speak CT Cannon whether he would recogniza him on a motion to concur in the sen ate amendment and the speaker ar swered affirmatively. Today it was said that speaker had changed his mind and would not entertain a mo- tion to concur.
 Members interested today were try ing to effect some compromise with Foraker and his followers to make the amendment acceptable to the speaker It was suggested that this might be accomplished by the senate adopting the Foraker amendment of year ago. which differs from that now pending It refers the question whether Arizona and New Mexico shall be admitted jointly as one state to the people of those territories but links it directly with tke election of state officers
 If the amendment were changed ta the connection or the question of state hood with the state election it is thought the speaker and the house or ganization would adopt the amend ment and permit the house to concur without further obstacle.
 It is generally recognized that if the present Foraker amendment passes the senate and is submitted to the houss 1t will have an overwhelming vote in that body in favor of prompt concur renee.
