Absence of Texarkana Man Causes
 Delay in Baseball Organization.

At the baseball meeting called Ill this city Friday afternoon, for the purpose of forming a state league, the cities of Pine Bluff, Hope, Hot Springs and Camden were represent ed. but the representative from Tex arkana was not here.
 A message was received from the ,romoter of the Texarkana franchise, stating that he was unable to reacn Pine Bluff Friday, as all the arrange nients had not been made in his city, Tut that if the meeting would adjourn to g. later date he would be there with the goods. Accordingly, an ad- jturnment was had until June 6, when another meeting will be had at Hot Springs, at which time Texarkana will be represented, and it is thought that another town may be secured, so as to let Hope in and form a six-team league.

ON NEW CHARGE
Pre- sident of State Senate Arrested
 on Charge of Perjury.

Senator Alonzo w. Covington of Clarksville, president of the last sen ate, was arrested Wednesday for the third time on charges growing out of alleged boodling operations in the last general assembly.
 Coyington was arrested Wednesday on a charge of perjury, which he is alleged to have committed by declar- ing at his trial last summer, on a charge of receiving brite. that he never received any money from M. D. l.. Cook to influence his vote on the bill passed by the senate appropri- ating $S00000 for the completion of the new state capitol.
 The indictment charging Covington with this offense was returned by the Pulaski county grand jury Tuesday. "A bench warrant was issued and sent to Sheriff King of Johnson county for service. Covington was arrested at
  o'clock, and immediately gave bond In the sum of $S,000.
 The statements upon which the ln' dictment is based were made by Sen ator Covington while he was on the stand in his trial last summer. M. D. L. Cook had sworn on the witness stand that he gave Covington s2,5o0 In connection with the state capitol bill. Senator Covington denounced this as false when he went on the stand Addressing the jury:
 Cook never gave me q cent. and gentlemen. if he did, hope that l may never see my wife and babies again Cook knows this is so and Cox knows it is so.'

Wanted Back In Jail.

An attempt to escape from the
Franklin county Jail at Ozark
was prevented by the prisoner
trying to crawl through a hole
too small to admit of the passage
Of his body. The attention OF
Jailer Milton was attracted to the
cell room, and upon investigation
there he found Tom Atwood, a
prisoner, had succeeded in re-
moving an old patch from the
cage by cutting the rivets, and
in attempting to force his body
through the small opening he
had become fastened in such a
manner that he could gel ne ither
in or out. The jailer | earned
that he had been in this position
for two hours. Jailer Milton says
this is the first time ho has ever
been called by an escaping prls-
oner to help him back in jail

HE LEFT 1T ALL.
Just As Every Other Man Who Has
Passed That Way.
Organs Commoner.)

Alfred Belt, the "African dia-
mond king" died a few days
ago. He was said to be one of
the richest men in the world, if
not the richest, For years people
have been specializing upon the
size of his fortune. He made it
in the diamond fields Of South
Africa and in various allied en-
terprises, one Of which was the
seizure of land belonging to the
natives, and the practical en-
slavement Of the natives them
selves. His fortune was esti-
mated to be anywhere between
S500,000,000 and ST, 100000, 900.
Whatever it's size, everybody
knows what he left. He left ev"
erything. After life devoted to
the mere accumulation Of wealth,
he goes into the great unknown
on level with the paupers, the
princes and the potentates who
have preceded him. Measured
by the accumulation Of wealth
his life was a magnificent success.
Measured by service to his fell
lows it was dismal failure.
Nothing that he gained in life
could be taken with him. He
will be remembered for awhile as
a man who accumulated a for
tune, and then forgotten. But
men who never accumulated for
tunes will live in history because
they served their day and gener-
alton. Belt left nothing but
money-and he let it all.

AN ANCIENT BURLESQUE.
The Arkansas Drnlnmers Guilty vi
Making Use OF II.
(Batesville Guard.)

The commercial trave lers Of
Arkansas form an excellent bocy
of men. To intelligence and IL
tegrity they add hustle AID
energy and a spirit of good hp-"
NOR that makes them the best
fellows in the world. They are
full OF business and hard work
take their share of rough knocks
without complaint, and are loyal
to the State in every fibre Of Their
beings. They have an organize :
ton that is both a credit to them
selves and benefaction to tn oso
dependent upon them. They are
officially known as the "Arkan-
sas Travellers" a title fairly
descriptive and altogether approe
PIRATE. But why they shoulc
adopt as their emblem and dis
figure their official Stationery
with a reproduction Of that
ancient burlesque, the original
Arkansas traveller, is not IN the
range of intelligent comprehen-
sion.
The amount of harm that pict-
ure has done the State is beyond
all computation. 1t was never
typical of the State, even in its
earliest days. The dilapidated
log hut, with the roof half gone,
a coon skin stretched on the wall,
rude sign of "whiskey' above
the door, a slatternly woman
and a bunch of ragged children
huddled in the entrance and the
squatter sitting outside in the
sun, saving on his fiddle and
giving laconic answers to the in
quiries of a mounted stranger, is
a creation of Sandy Faulkner S
morbid Imagination; and except
by those who do not know, is
never mistaken for anything else
than a worm -out joke, that should
have passed with the prinitive
conditions that appreciated it.
But there are those, unfortunate. :.
ly, who do not know-simple
folk, who take quite seriously
this representation of the lowest
type of white civilization, and
absurdly imagine it a picture of
social conditions in Arkansas
today. 1t ought to be driven out
Of print; and the drummers, in
stead Of circulating the discredit-
able thing on their stationery,
ought to lead in the crusade
against it and work for a better
understanding of the State abroad.
Do it, boys, for the love of Ark
ansas.
