east are correct, the Republican con-
gressionai campaign committee has IN

the committee has declared itself IN

means that the tariff ouestionis to be let
alone Tor another two years provided

saddle have their wav about it. Now
the people of this bully country VIII
not stand for anything like that. The
next congress has got to enact some
tariff reform legislation or the people
are gong to know why Fortunately
Tor MIN. the candidate for congress
from this district, Charles F. Scott, is
one of the large minority who have
d1ssented from the majority ruling. Mr.
scott Is pretty generally known to be
revisionist. His vote can be counted
on 10 be with the interests of the peo-.
pie IN this matter and against the in
terests OF those great concerns whose
greatness depends, in considerable de-
gree, upon a high tariff wall. The
trouble will not come into this district

THI; MILLS AGENCY.

The Graphic numbers among it's advertisers today the progressive and wide-awake firm of R. II. M. Mills and sons During the year just closing this agency has estab- lished itself more strongly than ever to care for all business in it's several lines of operation.
 Fire insurance is effected in com panies of the best standing, and never has q dollar been lost by any one of the agency's clients through weakness of any indemnity furnish ed by the "Old Reliable.
 The year I 9oG has been the "Old RcIiablc's" best twelve months of progress in the real estate and rent al business. Their list of pleased pa trons, buyers. sellers. renters and landlords is one of which they may well be pleased.
 Superior arrangements for effect ing loans on city and suburban property have been secured by this agency, and 1906 has been an eX- ccedingly good record for them in this line. During the entire history of this agency never a dollar has been lost to investor, nor has foreclosure on property pledged for a loan, been indicated.
 In any one of the lines indicated, you cannot do better than entrust your business to R. H. NJ. Mills and sons, the oldest agency in Arkansas.

WILL BOOM MISSOURI.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Dec. 14.- Five million population for Mis- souri," is the slogan of the Missouri Immigration society, which opened it's second annual session in the hall of the house of representatives today Resolutions demanding leg islation that will aid in the work of securing immigrants from other states will probably be passed by the convention.
 We will ask the legislature to pass an appropriation sufficient to carry out the provisions of the im- migration law. a statute which is now wholly inoperative.' said J. H. Curran of St. Louis, vice president of the society. There are now more than S,6OOO,00O acres of land in this state which are not cultivated. One cent per acre would create a fund of $6O,OOO, sufficient to adver- tise the advantages of the state throughout the country, and in- crease the land values $100.0OO, 900 within the next decade. Missouri is now sixth in production among the states of the union. and We ex- pect to make it first.
 The convention will be continued through tomorrow and among the prominent speakers who will deliv- CT addresses are Governor Folk, Frank P. Sargent. national immi- grafton commissioners: Archbishop John J. Glennon of St. Louis, K. D. Coburn, secretary of agriculture of Kansas; Dean H. J. Waters of the Missouri Africultural college; Dr. J. F. Spillman of the national agrl- cultural bureau, and 5. A. Hughes, representing the National lmmigra- tion league. Representatives of the commercial bodies of all the prlncl- pal cites of the state, including St. Louis, Kansas lCty, St. Joseph, Jop- lin, Hannibal and Springfield, are also in attendance.
 A feature of the convention is the large exhibit of orchard. farm and dairy products, grain and poultry, for which many prizes have been of fered by the society.

CONWAY IS LUCKY
Fort Smelling Officers Proud Of Friend s
Record.

Lieutenant Wylie T. Conway, Sixth
infantry, who is reported to have been
wounded in the left eye in Colonel
Duncan's recent brilliant fight at Jolo,
is well and favorably known in the
twin cities and at Fort Smelling. He
came to Fort Smelling in November,
1904, as the senior second lieutenant
of the Twenty-eighth infantry, and
served as such there until last August,
at which time he was promoted to the
Sixth infantry as first lieutenant.
Lieutenant Conway was examined
for his promotion at Fort Smelling, and
passed brilliant examination. he IS
a fine specimen Of the material that
is often selected from the ranks Of the
enlisted men to make officers. His serv-
ice began on May 81, 1893, as a pri-
waite soldier in the Seventh infantry
with which, as recruit, he partici:
pated in the sanguinary battle at E]
Caney and Santiago, Cuba. For his
merit in this campaign he was made
corporal. ~. ~. =
Discharged on Feb. IS, he re-en
listed for the same. company and regl
men t almost Immediately, and was
speedily promoted to be sergeant
From this he was promoted to be
lieutenant, and was assigned to tn
Twenty-eig hth infantry, in which HI
| served thru the arduous campaign
which closed the instruction in Ba
tangas with the surrender OF Malva1
and did his full share in the heart
breaking labor of constructing tn
Lake Lanao military road, which vii
tually wound up the Mindanao prob
| lem. His old comrades are much please
to hear from him again SO favorably
and 81" Conway's luck' is proverbia
when his wound is mentioned. s
