 These are tangible things accom- plished by southern pluck and indus try with meagre credit and capital. and the native resources of this sec ton are but the beginnings of their development.

SOUTHERN PROGRESS.

The wonderful gain in material wealth that the souuth has achieved, since 1880, has been the theme Of much surprised comment at the north, which has only just awakened to the silent growth and progress that has builded here a substantial empire of commerce and industry, that bids fair to outrival both east and west in another generation. The New York Sun recently made this summary of southern progress, in the last twenty five years, which will be a revelation tc many of our own people.

If Gov. Jeff intends to try his hand putting the lid on here, why does he defer till April 1? It is because the state primaries do not occur till March 28. How can any one have respect for an officer who would seek to use his official position to advance his personal interests or gratify per sonal spleen, either by threats before an election, in which he Is a candi- date, or by acts of vengeance after ward? In either case, there is no sincerity. There is no respect for law enforcement Jeff's bluff and buster will gain him no votes in this city. Moreover, the power to regulate local matters and enforce law locally is lodged in local courts and officers.- Hot Springs Daily News.

Evidently the two local light and water companies have profited by the example set by the late lamented gen. eral superintendent of the Cotton Belt, Wasting Time Tyler. It re- euired several years for MT. Tyler to agree to a new union depot for Pine Bluff, and tic ind cations are that the two companies referred to will take their time about removing those poles on Fourth avenue. The poles should go, however, and every day they stand they retard that much longer the city's progress. Public sentiment should count for something in case like this; it would be far better for the companies to remove the poles at once-better for the com panies themselves.

Judging by the many and continued expressions of prominent legal practi- tioners throughout this section of Ar kansas, the Hon. James E. Riddick is practically the unanimous choice of the bar of Southeast Arkansas for reelection as associate justice of the supreme court. Without doubt he is one of the ablest lawyers in the state. and clean private record. as we'll as a clean public one. renders him the stronger Judge Riddick is popular by reason of h;s character and ability. and these two form a combination in politics that is difficult to overcome with voters, once their confidence is secured.

The people of Pine Bluff read with regret the story in Thursdays Graphic stating that there was little hope of inducing the present session e congress to pass the bill appropri- ating money for, preventing the cut of in the Arkansas river at this po,nt. Latest reports of the condition of the river banks north of Pine Bluff indi- cate that the danger is imminent. and experienced r.ver men have so pronounced it. It is entirely out of the question for Pine Bluff to raise the funds necessary for this work. and unless the city gets federal aid the plan must fall through. How ever, the fight has not been given up, and will not be until the money is forthcoming.

SCOTT'S EMULSION

sss'aaa6 SCOTT'S EMULSION is more than a fat food. There is no animal fat that compares with 1t in nourishing and building up the wasted, emaciated body. That is why chill dren and anamic girls thrive and grow fat upon it. That is why persons with consumptive tenden- cies gain flesh and strength enough to check the progress of the dis ease.

The first vote did not result in a ma
jority for either of the candidates.
A little commotion has been caused
among the board members during re-
cent days by the efforts of some, who
sought to control the election and
thereby secure coveted committee
chairmanships, but whose efforts to do
SO failed.
The bequest of $500 left by the late
Mrs. j. G. Brown. to be invested and
the interest to be used for the purchase
of books, has been received by the
board. The money has been invested
in a bond of local building company.

Fraternal Orders of the City
Making Plans to Hold Memo
rial Services Same Day
APPROVED BY MANY LODGES
Committees Appointed to Formulate
Definite PIan-Report to Be Made in
Two Weeks-Decoration Day. May
80, Suggested as the Permanent Date
MAY operate With G. A. r.

A movement has been started among
the secret orders of the city to Tx one
day in each year for the holding of the
annual memorial services and for all
the orders to join in the exercises. The
suggestion was inspired thru the be-
lief that 1t will be for the best inter-
ests of the lodges to unite on one conf
mon day for the decoration of the
graves of departed members. and the
idea had its inception with the mem
bers of Marshall lodge, Modern Broth
erhood of America.
A memorial to thirty-two lodges of
the city was prepared and sent out
suggesting the plan. and in pursuance
to a call a meeting of representatives
of various orders was held Monday
night In the east court room. Dele
gates from twelve of the lodges were
present, and others have expressed a
the representatives in attendance eX-
pressed approval of the plan, which
was discussed at length, and a COM
mittee of seven was selected to draw
up a general outline. which will be
presented al a meeting to be held two
weeks from Monday night and will be
subject to approval or amendment. 1t
was also decided to call a meeting for
the second Monday in September. to
consider reports from the various
lodges and make additional arrange
ments for the carrying out OF the
plans.
The arrangement will not become
effective until next spring. as many
of the lodges have held their services
this year. The suggestion has been
made that Memorial Day. May 80, be
fixed as the date. as this is legal
holiday and the lodges would cooper
ate with the Grand Army in the OBJ
servance of the day. The selection of
titude of the Grand Army to the plan,
and if not entirely agreeable to the
veterans some other date may be de-
cided upon.
D. S. Good was chosen chairman Of
the meeting and w. B. Elliott secre-
tary, and these gentlemen were made
-officio members of the committee
to further perfect the plans. The
other members of the committee are
S. M. Cause, p A. Hawley. ]. II. Brun-
ner, Charles Click. j. Clearinghouse,
Robert Holt and II. j. White.
Several members of ladies' auxiliary
societies were present at Monday
nights meeting and these societies will
probably cooperate.

Police Officers Drag Linn Greek
in Search of Body Of Man
Possibly Murdered
COAT AND VEST ON THE BANK
Letters Indicate the Clothing Was
Property of }. II. Smith, of Stanley,
and That He Had Money-En Route
to Dakota to Invest in Lands-In
vestisation Under Way.

The police department of the city
is making an effort to solve the mys-
terry connected with the finding of a
coat and vest on the banks of Linn
creek the identity OF one ]. III. Smith,
supposed to live at Stanley, Iowa, and
determine his present whereabouts.
From letters found in the pocket OF
the coat the officers are led to infer
that Smith has met with foul treatment
possibly that murder has been done.
The creek in the vicinity has been
dragged and search of the weeds and
timber has been made, but no further
trace of Smith has been found
Monday afternoon "A farmer driving
to the city had occasion to go into the
timber on the east side of Linn creek
and a short distance below the Nevada
street bridge. Lying on the bank of
the creek he saw coat and vest, which
he did not disturb, believing that the
matter was one FOR the police to in-
vestigate. He reported to Officer Lage
and accompanied him to the spot. The
coat and vest were secured and all in
vestigation was started to determine
what had become of the owner. In the
pocket of the coat was an opened let
ter addressed to j. H. Smith. Stanley,
Iowa. Another letter, apparently writ
ten by the owner of the coat and was
addressed to Miss Stella Hall, Oelwein,
Iowa, and was signed by j. II. Smith.
This letter was unstamped and had
not been mailed. 1t was opened by the
officers and the contents added to the
suspicion that crime has been COM
mitted. The letter was written by
Smith at Oelwein, under date of July
26. He informed Miss Hall that he
had received the money he was expect
ing that he was leaving al once for Mar
shalltown, where he would mail the
letter. and where he expected to pur-
chase ticket for the Dakotas, where
he said he would invest in land. Miss
Hall was told not to write to him UNI
til she heard from him again. On the
envelope was return card ordering
the return Of the letter to lock box 8,
Stanley Iowa, unless delivered in the
usual time.
The officers dragged the creek in the
vicinity of the spot where the apparel
was found, and searched the woods and
the weeds in that locality, but no ad-
ditional evidence was procured Let
tiers have been addressed to Miss Smith
and to lock box 8, at STANLEY, in the
effort to locate the man.
The coat and vest are of light grey
material, have been little worn and
are of good quality and clean. They
would not be thrown away by any one
except a thief. Stanley is small
town on the Great Western east Of
Oelwein.
1t is presumed that both Smith and
Miss Hall are residents of the country
as telephone communication with the
central offices at both places failed to
develop any information concerning
either.
