HUGHES A WINNER.


Boise, Idahos Notwithstanding to
returns this morning It seems assured
that Governor Gooding, the Repub-
ifcan candidate for governor. has been
reelected, though his plurality shows
heavy losses from the vote he received
IN 1904. French the Republican can
didate for congressman, is probably
elected over Hattabaugh, Democrat,
put by q considerably narrower ma
jority than Gooding.
The returns are very slow, but bas-
ing estimates on these, Judge Stock
slayer. the Democratic g-ubernatorlal
candidate, and Hattabaugh, the Dem
oeratic candidate for congress. will
carry northern Idaho, while the west
ern part of the state will give light
maJorities for Gooding and French,
and the southern counties. Mormon.
wiz give heavy Republican pluralities.

PLUCkY WOMAN SHOOTS A NEGRO
Jonesboro Woman Shot and KILL
ed Negro Who Was Trying
to Enter Her Home

Jonesboro, Sept. 15.-T h / S
morning about Z o'clock George
Harris, a negro fireman for the
Portia Lumber Company, was
found dead. lying across a log
near the Frisco track, with bull
let hole through his body which
entered the back.
Immediately after the negro was
found Policeman William Stod-
dard and Constable Mark Phillips
began an investigation, and soon
learned there was possibility of
the shooting having been done by
a white woman named Cora Jack
son. They went Immediately to
the home of this woman and found
her in bed, and when she was told
of the negro being found dead she
said:
i shot a negro last night, who
came to my house and tried to get
in, - and described the negro who
was found. She stated that the
negro came to her window and
tried to get in, and she command
ed him to leave, but instead of do
ing so he went to the front door
and cursed her and said be was
coming In any way. She then, SO
she states, got her pistol and shot
at him twice through the screen
door, and Thought she had hj6 him.
He ran and she opened the door
and fired the third shot. 1t was
this shot that proved fatal. The
woman was arrested, charged with
murder, and this afternoon was
given a hearing before Justice NJ.
A. Adair. She was discharged on
her statement of the facts.

RAILROAD OWNERSHIP

There was no justification for
the misinterpretation of MIR. Bry-
ans New York speech, which the
Republican press has INDUCED in
so generally. Bryan stated, when
he spoke to the thousands who
greeted him in Madison Square
Garden, he had reached the conclu-
sion that railroads partake so
much of the nature of monopoly
that they must ultimately, become
public property, and be managed
by public officials in the interests
of the whole community There
was nothing in this statement adj
vocating an immediate change of

ownership and Mr.. Bryan spoke
of public ownership as an "ulti-
mate probability with definite
intent TO say exactly what the
chosen words imply. When he
said that it was his opinion the
railroads must ultimately become
public property" he meant pre-
cisely that and not something else.
The declarations of Mr.. Bryan
differ in very slight degree, in the
matter of public ownership of rail
roads, from the opinions of Presi-
dent Roosevelt as formally ex-
pressed in public documents.
Roosevelt has warned Congress
and the country that public own
ership will surely come if the rail
roads are not effectively controlled
and regulated by legislation. Bry-
an says no more and the difference
between Bryan and Roosevelt
arises only when Roosevelt ex-
presses the sanguine belief that
regulation can be made effective
and Bryan ayows the conviction
that it will never succeed. Roose-
welt believes we can escape pub
lie ownership and Bryan believes
we will not. Both are equally
willing to give regulation a fair
trial. st. Louis Republic.

STATE WAREHOUSE

The. Executive Committee of
the Farmers Union of Arkansas
took action at meeting at Little
Rock Friday which insures the To-
cation of the central office which
will soon be opened, at Little
Rock. After considering the mat
ter for two days, the committee
accepted a proposition submitted
by the st. Louis Compress Com
pany providing for the storage of
the cotton which the members of
the Farmers Union are not able to
care for in their local warehouses.
The greater part of this surplus
cotton will be stored in the COM
pany's warehouses in Little Rock,
but part of it will be taken care
of in the company's warehouses
which are scattered throughout the
state.
The committee postponed the Sc
lection of a state agent, and it was
decided that another meeting
should be held September IS to
take up this matter.

THE PROPOSED DRAINAGE DISTRICT
Papers Served on 10 Land Own
ers and Case Will Come up
October 6 in County Court

Sheriff j. A. lancaster was here
Friday and Saturday serving no
tees on the land owners that the
organization of the proposed drain
age district No. 2, which includes
large portion of land in this COM
munity will be taken up in the
county court or the 9th day of Oc-
tober. There are 176 land own
ers within the proposed district.
The petitioners, w d. Magness,
w. A. Rutherford, 6. O. Magness,
r. r. Ration, j. p. Magness and
W. t. Magness, filed their petition
in the county court several months
ago, and the court, acting upon
this petition, appointed joseph
Knight, j. &. Mcclure and V. {.
Prlckett as viewers. They went
over the proposed route and made
favorable report. A permanent
survey was then made by j. r.
Van Frank, civil engineer, of
Little Rock, and his report to-
gether with an estimate of the cost
and "a profile of the ditch, has been
filed with the county clerk.
The proposed ditch is to begin
somewhere near the old Magness
brick house, near Magness, and
running north to the foothills along
the edge of the bottom, thence
east to Newark, thence south to
Mud creek, thence along the chan
mel of the creek, with whatever
Strengthening may be necessary,
and into White river, the amount
of land involved being about 90,
600 acres. The ditch will be al
most seven miles long, and the es-
timated cost of constructing it is
placed at $21, 1906. The as
sessment of benefits has been
placed as follows: Farming lands
in the district, $l5,142 the White
River railroad, -, $50; the town
of Newark So. 627, divided as fol-
lows: Western division, 81, so:
eastern division Sl,76O; southern
division, $500.
Considerable opposition to the
matter has developed here since
the papers were served on the land
owners, but those who are pushing
it seem TO think that they will
have but little difficulty in secur-
ing a favorable decision from the
county court.
There is no question but what
the ditch would be a great benefit
to the entire community in re-
claiming a vast area of land which
is now swampy, by opening it for
cultivation, and it would also add
materially to the healthfulness of
the community.

Care OF school Children.

Rowland Godfrey Freeman says that
an ideal private school should be out
of town. but within easy reach of the
homes Of its patrons. There should be
short periods Of study, frequent re-
cesses and ample time for Il substan-
tial midday meal. The harder work
should come during the morning hours,
the lighter work I'm the afternoon hours.
After this the children should play out
of doors. The ideal public school
should care for the children as many
hours day as are practicable. Outdoor
play should precede study. Study
hours should be short, with frequent
recesses. Nutritious food should be
furnished the scholars at noon. In the
afternoon the easier subjects, the man
ual work, and preparation for the next
day should occupy the time. There
should be opportunity for outdoor ex-
ercise under supervision until late aft
ernOOn. In every school strict exam
ination should be made for any evidence
Of contagious diseases. All children
with colds and contagious eruptions
should be excluded from school.-Med-
zeal Record.

evaporat ton of pool in the extreme
" dry season. When the fish decide
that the water in the particular pool
formed during the rainy season is in
danger of drying out completely they
make all preparations for moving and
late at night or early in the morning
deliberately climb the banks and start
off in search of some more commodious
pool or stream not in danger Of going
dry. When the journey is made at the
hour it usually is the fish are favored
by the heavy dew which lies on the
grass, but if an emergency arises they
will boldly strike out at nOontime along
the dusty road.
They travel by means of the strong
bony fins which are full of sharp
spines, like those of the common perch.
They have a receptacle in which they
carry water with them to mOisten their
gills. 1t is said that they will live sew
eral days out of water, and with the
assistance of the dew laden grass the
fish that starts in search of a satisfac
tory pool or stream is practically sure
of living until it finds it. - Brockton
