without state issues for their campaign.
Throughout the entire state President
Roosevelt's administration is proving very
popular: so popular, IN fact, that word has
reached the republican headquarters from
many localities that democrats who voted
for him two years ago intend to stand by
him In this election and help send to con-
gress men who will assist in carrying out
his policies.
The democrats started out to rally their
forces under Bryans banner. but his Madi-
son Square Garden speech in favor of rail-
road ownership made 1t impossible.
Their plan to conduct an oid-tfme tariff
for-revenue-on1y" campaign has also been
abandoned, probably on account of prosper
ity in practically all lines of business. The
fact that the state is more prosperous than
1t has been for many years is largely the
cause of the apathy among the voters.
thousands of whom seem to feel that there
Is no reason why they should go to the
polls. If the democrats were we'll organized
and had skiilful leaders they might stand
some show of winning, but under the cir
cumstances there does not seem to be any
hope whatever of the election of their
ticket.
The republicans have arranged to send
Vice President Fairbanks over the state on
special train the last four days of next
week They hope to be able through him
and q score or so more speibiEders to
arouse the masses that they will go to
the polls. From now on get out the vote
will be the watchword on both sides, but
the inica tons that the total vote will
be 25 per cent less than 1t was two years
ago.
There has been practically no betting on
the election, as the democrats are demand
ing almost prohibitive odds for their money.
1t is not likely that any of them will offer
to bet that the republicans will not carry
the state by at least 5000, which shows the
lack of confidence existing among them.
In several districts there are hard fights
between the congressional candidates, but
the only republicans who are In danger are
Congressman Foster of the first district and
Congressman CLANCY of the second. The
chances are that the republicans will elect
ten or eleven of the thirteen members.

Hatfield, the thriving littldl business center twelve miles sout # on the Kansas City Southern, i seeking to emulate Meua by holdM ing anniversary celebrations an# this year arranged program for two days stunt, but it is fearedM that the rain last night wiH8 dampen the ardor of this progres. sive little town and interfere with4 the festivities as planned.
 A full car load went down from Mena yesterday by the local freight and several drove over by E private conveyances, and by l0S o'clock the people from the terri tory surrounding had assembled in large numbers on the grounds just west of town, where, under the shade of the big oak, gum and hickory trees they presented the appearance of a jolly, happyI crowd bent on days amusemeni.|
 Numerous county candidates were present making themselves agreeable to the voters, their wives and babies, and about 10 o'clock it was announced that Hon.

REDUCED BOND RAISED AGAIN.
A Brothers Effort on Behalf of Buck.
 ingham Failed.

w. A. Nolan of near Knox vile, Tenn., brother of c. E. Nolan, alias Buckingham, who is now confined in the Miller county jail for safe keeping on a charge of burglarizing the hard ware store of w. E. Watkins & Bro. in this city several months ago, spent yesterday in Mena voriug to have his brothers bond reduced from Sl,c00, at which amount 1t was fixed on being bound over to the grand jury, to that of $500 in order that he might be released from jail.
 The matter of reducing Buck ilgham's bond was first taken up before Squire Sam H. Smith who bound him over to the grand jury, but Smith refused to reduce the amount of bond aud as last resort Circuit Judge Steel was appealed to at his home at Lockesburg by telephone to re- duce the bond to $500. This was hually agreed to by Judge Steel who notified Sheriff Joplin to have the bond reduced. Mir. Nolan then deposited with county treasurer $500 iu cash and left on No. 3 for Texarkana to impart the good news to his brother.
 Shortly after No. 3 left, how ever, Mir. w. E. Watkins called Judge Steel up over the telephone and protested against the action t ken by him in reducing Buck iugham's bond, explaining to him the character of the man whom he was about to have turned loose on the public. On being informed of these facts Judge Steel at once notified Sheriff Jop- lin not to allow the bond to be reduced, and Sheriff Joplin in turn notified the jailer at Texar- kama not to release Buckingham.

HEAVY RAIN STORM.
City and Country Flooded By Water
 Last Night.

Mena was visited last night by one of the heaviest rainfalls in the history of the city. The rain began falling about s o'clock and with few interm ssions C Dn- tinued all night. The amount of water falling al this place bcifil estimated at between five and SIX inches. From reports received today from different parts Of the county the ram seems to havis been general causing some of the streams 10 overflow their banks doing considerable damage to crops.
 Mir. D. H. Hopkins, who was in from his home at Dallas this morning, stated that his govern ment guage showed the fall of rain at that place last might to be four inches, the second hardest rain he has ever seen fall since he has been a resident of this coun- ty.
 Parties in from the east part of the county say that the rain was very heavy in that section and that the Ouachita river was higher this morning than any time this year.
 In the city the streets were flooded with water and Ward creek, which was dry where II passes through the north part of town before the rain began, was a raging, roaring torrent two hours after.
 Mir. and Mrs. Roy St. John, who had been caught down town by the storm, narrowly escaped serious accident in crossing the stream on north Mena street about 10 o'clock. They were driving their big sorrel horse to | phaeton and not realizing, in the darkness, that the stream had had time to be dangerous in crossing they drove into the water. Under the force of the current in the middle of the stream the horse lost his footing the vehicle floated and when the other bank was reached they were about forty feet further down stream aud had received thorough wettiug. At one lime the water was about foot above the seat of the phaeton but it fortunately stayed right side up.
