One of the craft that is being fitted
out here is the forty-foot gasoline
stern-wheel boat owned by Price and
Thompson ofWayland. Mr. Thomp-
son assisted by a Keokuk man, is
putting on the cabin windows and
other woodwork, and is painting
the boat, preparatory to the Install

pected to arrive from ST. Louis in

hull, aud with her ten-horse-power
engine, should be a fast as well as

\ The boat will be used in the freight

Arkansas The owners will take her
there,as soon as she is fitted out at
this port.

Fifty-six ofthe seventy-6ye counties
of Arkansas are now under Prohibi-
ton law.
OF the total state population OF
1874 sci there are 1913 $40 or 60
per cent of the total. living under
prohihltory laws
Eleven.twelths of the territory and
two thirds of the population enjoy
the blessings of Prohibition.
A staff correspondent for the Asso-
ciated Press this month shows that
6S per cent of the total increase in
the population of Arkansas rom
1890 to 1900 occurred in Prohibi-
ton territory.
1t also shows that while in 1884
there were 1858 more license than
prohibition votes cast, that majority
has decreased steadily until in 1905
1858 more prohibition than license
votes were cast in the local-option
contests of the whole state.

at the Harrison Lodge on Tuesday
evening, last--and a suffering rela-

description of the conditions which
have followed in one Of our homes:
The house is full of arnica,
And mystery profound;
We do not dare to run about
Or make the slightest sound;
We leave the big plano shut
And do not strike note;
The doctors been here seven times
Since father rode the goat.
He's resting on the couch today,
And practicing his signs
The hailin x signal working grip
And other monkey shines;
He mutters passwords meath his
breath,
And other things he'll quote
They surely had a lively time
