KNEW HOW TO SPELL.
Tiny Little Girl Follows, Mysterious
Parental Guidance

There are many stories told OF the
cute things said and done by children
according to loving mothers and fond
fathers, but here is one that is hard
10 beat.
The little two and half year Old
baby in the family is just at the age
when it is necessary TO spell things
that she is not to Know, and especial
~ so now that Christmas is at hand
and there are many secrets to be kept.
The other day the fond mother was
telling a neighbour who had called
that she was dressing u new doll for
Martha's Christmas, and as baby was
present it was necessary to spell out
some of the more important words
Soon afterwards the mother had oc
casion to so up stairs for something
and while she was gone the little girI
euddled up closely TO the visior and
in a most confidential manner said:
See! Mammals gone up stairs. p-d-q

WAYSIDE TALES TOLD
ON STREETS OF CITY.
A SERIOUS JOKE.

During the past week, a good story
has been going the rounds among local
street car men on the mOtOrman ana
conductor of the interurban limited
that runs between Dayton and Indian
apolis.
A few nights ago the limited on IT'S
return trip from indianapolis late in
the afternoon, made a stop at Green
field as is its custom to await the
passing of a west bound car.
The car from the east arrived. and
made the usual stop and went on FOR
indianapolis. Likewise the mOtorman
on the limited hearing the call ali

by the national board of directors.
We notice that Post q Of New Alba |
ny. has forwarded petition to their
representative in congress opposing
the Parcels Post bill. We do not know
how Post c stands on this question as
it has never been discussed in meet I
ing, but | guess the boys think it is
of small Importance. Perhaps it l.,
perhaps it isn't. Business has been
awfully good for few years, and it
may not be SO good THIS next year. If
the parcels post bill should pass and
let the mail order houses get bigger
hold on the trade some effect might
be felt. We. however, believe that
there will be no chance for the bill to
pass. We also note that Post of
Lafayette and Post G. of Terre Haute
voted to oppose the bill and sent strong
resolutions TO their congressman and
Senators at Washington.
we copy the following from Mr., Ry
an in the Terre Haute Morning Star:
Mr. James Crawford, state chairman
of the railroad committee, comes ont
with a letter which has been copied in
pottletzer's Lafayette r. p. A. column,

Pension Warrants Ready.

By the last of this week. it Is thought, all the Confederate pension warrants will have received the sig nature of State Auditor Moore and will have been mailed to the pen sioner, but two books of warrants yet remain to be signed by the auditor. and these will be completed within the next few days. The warrants will be carefully checked before they are mailed. When all the warrants have been signed. Auditor Moore will have signed his name more than 5000 times. and the vouchers will have passed through the hands of two clerks, each of whom had a part to write in each warrant One of the features of the applications for pensions for this dis bursement Is the fact that negro filed petition for pension. Unless a man can show specifically that he had been in actual service during the war. nc pension Is granted, and the records do not show where there were any negro enlistments. The application of the negro for a pension was not considered.

No Roof For Capitol.

The State Capitol Commission has been in session this week, at which the report of the contractors was received. Beyond the setting of some necessary stone. the work on the build Ing will seon be discontinued. Since the last meeting of the commissioners, construction has been going on, in an effort to finish in places where. if left long to the exposure of the weather, rapid disintegration would take place. Before the meeting was called the members of the commission inspected the new state house and examined the work that has been done since the on the progress of the construction since the last examination was made but it is stated by one of the commis- sioners that Caldwell & Drake have expended several thousands of dollars in their effort to protect the building from damage. 1t is believed that the work of setting the last stone in the new state house will have been com pleted by the last of this week and then the contractors will discontinue until either special session of the legislature has relieved the situation that prevents the commissioners from drawing on the state capitol fund to pay estimates, or wait two years until the regular session of the legislature passes the appropriation that will be required to complete the building The Capitol Commission will meet regularly each month to perpetuate itself as an organization until the terms of the commissioners expire. The next meet ing will be held in Little Rock the first week in October

Action Caused Speculation.

The action of the State Charities Board in adjourning without vote on the matter of resembling the former vote by which F. c. Lucas was ap- pointed superintendent of the Blind School. has caused considerable dis eussi5n at the state house. Prof Futrall will hold office as superinten- dent until October l. when he is sup posed to retire, and Mir Lucas to sue ceed him. As the board now stands. there are three members who are for Prof. Futrall, and four for Mr. Lucas. J. c. Williamson, who holds the balance of power, is desirous of removing to Texas. and has demand ed of Acting Governor Pindall, it Is said, the right to name his successor on the board. which Governor Pin dail absolutely refuses to do. MT Williamson. in the event of not be ing able to designate his successor on the board has stated it is said, that he will remain in Arkansas so that the present controlling majority may be retained in power.

Now a Battalion Post.

Fort Logan H. Roots has been made battalion post, and between Septem- Der 20 and September 9 the First Battalion of the 16th Infantry, U. s. A., Major J. K. Thompson command ing. will be located there. The troops are now crossing the Pacific ocean en route from the Philippine Islands to San Francisco. They are expected to land within a few days and will then come to Little Rock by special train. This battalion consists of com panies A. B, c and D. The fort is at present occupied by only about 30 men, in command of Capt Wheeler, who has been in charge since the two com panies previously stationed here left for the Philippines early in the sum mer. The enlargements to the fort were completed last spring and all is now in readiness for the incoming battalion.

Reward For Man Already Caught.

Acting Governor Pindall offered reward Tuesday of s1oo for the return to the authorities of Little Rock of c. Buckingham. who escaped from Fair Oaks camp last April, and who was brought back Monday. Three weeks ago Buckingham wrote to War den Baynham of tho old penitentiary offering to return. and said in the let ter that he would surrender himself at Little Rock, September 6. In his letter Buckingham stated that after his escape which was made possible from the fact that he had been appoint cd trusty he had made his way. first to Texas, and then to Independence, Kan, where he had secured work and where the letter to the warden was written. Several days ago. Deputy Sheriff Al Chichester went to Inde- pendence and brought Buckingham with him when he returned Monday. Notwithstanding the fact that Bucking- ham was already in jail, the proclama- tion of $l00 reward was spread on the books of Secretary of State Ludwig Tuesday The proclamation was dated September 5, however, and was offered after 1t was known that Buckingham was arrested. According to Warden Baynham. if Buckingham had been released by the Independence police he would have returned to the peniten- tiary on his own volition and the State would have been saved the amount of the first reward, offered by tho peni- tentiary authorities, not 10 mention the $10o which will be paid by the State by Acting Governor Pindalfs action Buckingham was sentenced at the fall term of the Polk County Cir cult Court last year to one year in the penitentiary for srand larceny. He had served six months of his time when he escaped. Before writing to War den Baynham offering to surrender himself, he had written to the man in Mena. whose store he had entered, and asked if he intended to prosecute him further. He received assurances in return that if he returned to the penitentiary every effort would be
 made to secure for him executive
 clemency. Buckingham, 1t is thought,
 never would have entertained
 the idea of returning to the
 State penitentiary had 1t not
 been for mother and sisters who are living at Mena. whom he desires to help support when he Is released after serving the remainder of his sen tence.

BiQ Loss In Gotten.

According to a summary compiled by Commissioner Tucker from the county crop reports that were recent iy published there will be big loss in the cotton crop for 1907 over last year. The decrease will amount to nearly 30 per cent, the figures for the present year being 70.1 per cent of 1906. Arkansas last year pro- duced 941. 900 bales, estimated. The approximate output this year will be 659 .64l bales. To make the latter total conditions from now until the staple Is picked must be normal. the weather must be favorable for good develop ment, and no further insect damage or the early visitation of a heavy frost. A cold spring. reduction Of the acreage and other evils. such as boil weevil and heavy rains, are respon- sible for the poor showing of the Arkansas crop. Other states have nearly all suffered the same troubles. and the cotton crop as whole in the Southern States will be materially less than last year.

Physical Shock Restores Reason,


 Ten days ago four Dubois brothers. Fred, Charles, Albert and Louis, left Gravette bound for New Mexico on prospecting trip. One of the broth CTS, Fred, became demented on the trip and while enroute home he leaped from the rear of the train while it was running 40 miles an hour. The train was stopped and backed to the place where he leaped, but no trace of him could be found. Just what became of him immediately after is net known as he sustained a broken leg, and severe bruises by the fall and it was impossible for him to go far. Twentyfour hours later he dragged himself to a farmhouse and asked for aid. When he jumped he rolled over and over. being severely injured, but reason returned with the physical, shock. He cut off his trou- sers leg, and cut some stiff, heavy weeds, and placed them around the leg. Then he bound them with slips of his trousers firmly in place. His belt was used to lash both legs close together to stiffen the injured member. Then he began his wearisome hunt for help.

New Bug In Cotton.

Commissioner Tucker has received county that has him guessing. It is a new species of bug that is said to be destroying cotton. The insect was sent in by the sheriff of Hampstead county who asked what it was. He stated in his letter that the bug was brought to him by negro, who claimed that 1t had infested his cotton field and was eating into the cotton bolls. Commis- sioner Tucker sent the specimen to the Bureau of Entomology at Wash ington. with a request for information as to the species. It is not believed by the commissioner that the bug will do much damage to the cotton crop.

Stabbed By Negress.

Wick Fagnani, young white man, was slashed with a knife and seriously wounded by negro woman at Tex The blade of the knife entered at the back part of his neck and ranged the entire length of the body, laying open a great gash along the muscular and fleshy portion of the back. The young man has been uncon- scious good portion of the time since receiving his injures, and has not as yet been able to give detailed account of the trouble which led up to the assault upon him by the negress.
