INDEMNITY TO PARENTS OF LIEUTENANT ENGLAND.
S25. 900 Is the Sum Mentioned, and tho Charge of Criminal Careiessness
 ls Admitted.

Washington.-The parents of Lieut.. England of Little Rock, who was un fortunately killed in Chinese waters by stray bullet from French manor war. will be indemnified for the JOSS of their son.
 The French government, in as dell cate way as possible. has notihed the state department that it was willing to make preparation for the dlstressfui occurrence. The amount to be paid by France has not yet been fixed. 1t IS understood that the sum will probably be $25,000. The England family, IL IS stated. will accept the indemnity.
 France has all along acted fairly in this matter, and admits the charge Of criminal carelessness preferred by the American naval inquiry board J. E. England Sr., S09 Rock street, Little Rock, the father of Lieut.. Car ence England, stated that he had re- ceived no word of the agreement to pay indemnity on account of the death of his son. He said that the entire matter has been left with his son, Capt. Lloyd England, of the United States army, who is now in Washing ton.
 Lieut.. Clarence England was Killed July 28 in the harbor at Chefoo, China, by bullet from a French manof-war, which was at small arms practice. Lieut. England was the navigating or fcer of the Chattanooga, and was on duty on the bridge when he was killed.
 The body was brought to Little Rock and was buried there.

Odelt Biabs.

New York.-B. B. Odell of Newberg, the former governor and ex-chairman of the State Republican Committee. has said that the management of the Republican campaign was the most asinine" that he ever knew. The whole state ticket, he said. might just as we'll have been elected As the result stands, it looks like Democra- tic victory and leaves the Republican party in bad shape with a national campaign coming on. The Republi. cans. he declared, made no campaign at all but put it all on MT. Hughes Shoulders"

Taft Has Horse Sense.

Fort Worth, Tex.-Secretary of War Taft and his party, who are on tour of inspection of the army posts of the Southwest, passed through here en route to San Antonio. The secretary was met by a mixed delegation of city and federal officials and members of the Fort Worth Roosevelt Club. He declined to wear a badge of the club on the ground that his tour is in no sense political, and to do so would be improper. The secretary made a brief address at an impromptu re- ception, expressing his delight at the manifestations of prosperity he has found on every hand in the new state of Oklahoma and in Texas.

Locks and Dams Left Out.

Washington, D. C.-The War Depart ment has made public it's estimates for river improvements in Arkansas for the fiscal year 1908.
 The original plans for the upper White river improvement called for ten locks and dams, which were to cost the government $1,600,000, but the project has been abandoned. Unless the Arkansas congressional delegation takes prompt action and forestalls this action by legislation the remaining seven locks and dams will probably not be built for another decade. About $49.904 are available from last year for the work on No 3 lock.

HIS APPEARANCE IN UNIFORM.
What One Man Thought of 1t and
 What His Father Did.

Many men and almost all women are strangely drawn toward a unl- form. The first day on his beat the officer of the law need not go hungry or thirsty, and the soldier has always ben all the rage. But there are ex- captions who do not dote on uni forms. Seated in a local cafe few days ago was a prominent citizen of Massachusetts waiting for a man whom he had no reason to suspect would enter and, discussing the sub ject of uniforms, he said:
 "When the late Gov. Russell was first elected I was invited to become a member of his staff. My father, who was getting along in years, was strongly opposed to it; argued that it would cost a great deal more in money, time and indigestion that 1t was worth and he wasn't far from right. However, l became a colonel and one evening after I'd been with the governor at some kind of social fracas near my town l drove home. I'd been dined and wined and was rather proud of my appearance, and as my father had never seen me in all my glory l called him out into the hall. He came, sleepily rubbing his eyes.
 "'What do you think of me" asked, throwing out my chest.
