Scientific Farming.

Scientific farming, entered into on the wholesale plan by the State of Arkansas, is the solution of the con-
 vict lease system. according to the ideas of Governor Pindall. He has returned from a visit to the state farm, where he went mainly to look after the 100 acres which has been set aside for the use of expert farm CTS as an experimental station. He expects the showing on this 100 acres of the 10000 acre farm to be such that within a few years the entire farm will be drained and placed in cultiva- tion, thus requiring the use of all the convicts in the cultivation of the farm. There are now only 1,S0o acres of the land in cultivation, ne groes mostly being used in this work the past year, and over 1000 bales of cotton and 5000 bushels of corn were harvested. With the whole farm un- der cultivation, and the men engaged in scientific and diversified farming.

RIVER IS RISING;
 BOATS MAY RESUME

The Arkansas river experienced purely local rise at Little Rock of two feet and six-tenths of an inch. At this point the rise was only three tenths of an inch, indicating that the increase in the volume of water is confined to the Little Rock district wholly. It is expected that tomorrow will show a still greater local rise in the Arkansas.
 The steamer J. x. Harbin which has been laid up here on account of the low water may soon be able to make it's return trip to Memphis.

ANOTHER WIFE"
 HAS APPEARED Grace Furth Asks Little Rock Court to Set Aside One Half of All Estate of Late Bob Furth
NEWS AT CAPITAL
lnterurban Line Money Being Sub scribed-MOre Football Games Scientific Farming on Convict Farm Urged by PindalI

Little Rock, Nov. 2l-Another wite, or claimant of the honor, of Robert A. F'urth, deceased, formerly wealthy saloon man of Little Rock, has appear ed on the scene and demands a share Of the estate.
 Months ago, a woman purpOrting to be the common law wife of Furth, claiming the two had resided together as man and wife since 1S91 filed suit against Sam Blum, administrator of the estate, and guardian of the de 1nented mother of F'urth, to be recog- pized as. Furths common law wife and receive a portion of the estate, as the widows dover.
 Now comes the new claimant, suing under the name Of Mrs Grace Furth. She claims to have married Rober. Furth in Garland county some time in June, 1906, just one year before the death of her devoted husband. This Mrs. Furth asks to be made a party defendant in the suit brought by Ha- gel Furth as the wife of the deceas- ed Mrs. Grace Furth denies the eX- istence of any such person and Mrs. Hazel Furth, the real name of the a1hleged common law wife, she ayers, is Mamie Gilmore.
 After her marriage to Furti, Grace Furth claims the happily married pair traveled all over the east and south, and during their travels, she was introduced by the deceased in polite society as his wife.
 Grace FurtA asks the chancery court, in which the suit was filed yes terday afternoon, to require Sam Blum to make an accounting of all the personal and real property which be- longed to Furth at the time of his death, and set aside onehalf of all in fee simple for her as widows dow CT She also asks that receiver be appointed to wind up the affairs of the estate.
 The estate of Furth is valued at about $30000o.

CERTIFICATE
 DIDN'T LOOK GOOD
Burglar Enters Senyard'> Saloon, Took Money. Bnt Left One Dollar Cashiers Certificate in the
 Cash RegiSter-food For Fun.

The saloon of Fred Senyard al Fourth avenue and Main street was entered and robbed one night recent ly and several dollars in change taken from the cash register by the in- truder. The midnight visitor left 2 note in the drawer of the register in- forming MT. Senyard that he did not want a one dollar cashiers certifi- cate, which was in the cash register with the money. When MT. Senyard went to the saloon the next morning he found the note and he certificate in the drawer. He immediately re- ported the burglary to the police, but up to the present time the thief has not been taken.
 Mir Senyard took the certificate to the Cotton Belt bank, which had is- sued it, and asked Teller Bollinger what was the matter with it.
 Nothing at all,'' replied the teller its worth 100 cents and as good as gold"
 "Oh, you must be mistaken re- piled the popular saloonist. and he then related the burglary incident, read the contents of the note, etc.
 The drinks were on MT. Bollinger, but he could not get away at the time to buy them. The story was told on Mir. Boyce that morning at a meet ing of the officials of the Clearing House Association and again the bankers had the laugh on the secre- tary of the Cotton Belt Savings and Trust Company. At all events the cashiers certificate, though as good as gold, didn't look good to the bur glar.

Financial Situation.

One banker stated late yesterday afternoon the financial situation is clearing rapidly and no person who really needed the money had any trou- ble in getting it. but that people who wanted the money just to hoard it away would have hard time getting it, --..-.--.-..
 Some of the local hanks have at last yielded to the demand for cash iers' checks and they began to appear yesterday. Some of the banks say these checks were only issued in fla vor of several firms who came to the bank and deposited the money to se- , curh the checks which were needed in making change. One bank though has placed. large amount of the checks in circulation-~in hopes of relieving the stringency following the cashing of the railroad checks on pay day, which amounted to over $300,OO0.
