THE VARIOUS PAPERS
Nettie B. Hollis, Woman Hair Dresser, Presents Paper to Convention Banquet Tonight and Election Of Officers This Afternoon.

Thirty delegates attended the first days session of the annual meeting of the State Medical As sociation of Co'ored Physicians, Surgeons, Dentists and Pharmacists, which is being held at the Masonic temple, Fourth avenue and State street.
 President Odom of Biscoe, Ark, presided. A paper was presented by Doctor w. H. Strickland of Madison, Ark, on General Profy- laxis," which was discussed by Doc tors c. M. Wade of Hot Springs, George w. Bell of this city, Doctor Barbitt of Marian, and Doctor l.. E.. Duncan or this city. The discussion was principally along the line of preventing the spread of tubercu- losis
 The night session was held at St. Johns A. M. E. church, where the visiting body was welcomed by Doctor Walls, the pastor. Professor William Townsend spoke in behalf of the colored citizens of this city. The response was made by Doctor H. l.. Jordan of this city. Then followed the presidents an- nual address.
 President Odem urged concentra- tion of efforts and standardization of forces. In this way the colored doctors of Arkansas, he said, would furnish all medical and surgical needs of their people without call l ing for assistance from other states Self-dependence, he said, is the salvation of his people. "I have made a rule ever," he said
 never to leave the room of a patient without saying something relative to his or her spiritual life
 If they be of the same mind I find 1 consolation in their bright counten- ance..
 Peace, harmony. love and high regard for each other should be the notices of the doctors. We do not question the merits of any indi-
 vidual concerning his religious pro- | clivities, but above all, a physician
 should be a man with Christian l spirit
 At this mornings session two 1 papers were presented. One of them was on Post Mortem Hem- orrhage.'" by Doctor J. H. Moore.
 the other by Doctor J. E. Money. of

ADVERTISE ARKANSAS.

MT J. E. Diamond, associate edltof Of the Lumber Review, published at Kansas City, was in Pine Bluff a few days this week and while here gave out an interview that should furnish food for thought to all Arkansas. He declared, and that truly, that what Arkansas most needs is advertising. "I believe Arkansas is the least known state in the Union," he said. T visit the cities of your state and l see cir culars tackled up calling attention to different points North and East as summer resorts and desirable places to live-but I never see this state mentioned in the North or East ex- cept in ridicule. Why? Because you don't understand the value of public ity-tbe great value of an immigra- ton bureau that does things-that calls the attention of German and Norwegian farmers to the fact that here in Arkansas are great opportuni- ties with thousands of acres of cheap land that will produce anything and a climate as healtbful as any in the United States. That's all you need, a cooperative spirit among you that will bring 50,000 German farmers and they will make what you call your poor hill lands and your worthless swamp lands blossom like great rose bush Do you doubt it? Look at west ern Kansas or Oklahoma, Minnesota and the Dakotas. Don't underrate publicity Let the man who is look ing for a home know what you have and now is the time
 Mr. Diamonds remarks are in line with an editorial that appeared in the Graphic recently, stating that what Pine Bluff most needs is judicous ad- Vertising and a spirit of cooperation are supplied, Arkansas can not reach the full measure of development and prosperity that should be her portion It is true that Arkansas has progress ed during the past few years, but not iE proportion to some of her more progressive sisters who have less of natural resources but more enter prise than is found here in Arkansas. What development the State has re ceived has been mostly by the rail roads and not by the native popula- tion. If our citizens were as pro- gressive and as enterprisine in adver- Using Arkansas as are our railroads the population and prosperity of our state would be much greater than at present. It is time for the people oi the State to wake up to these facts and get busy advertising Arkansas.

 JOE ROBINSON Quieted Delegates to the Big Levee Meeting at Arkan- sas City and Prevented Sudden Adjournment. CAUSED BY DISPUTES Delegates MemOrialized the Mississip- nj River Commission to Extend Its Jurisdiction en the Arkansas River.
BY DISPUTES

Congressman Joe T. RODlnSOn, Who is in the city today on his way from Arkansas City to England, Ark, was the real enthusiast and peace maker at the big levee meeting held at Ar kansas City yesterday and had it not been for his cool headedness and de- termination to bring about immediate river and levee improvements in Ar kansas, the big meeting would have accomplished nothing in that direc- ton.
 Wrangling, which matertialized at the gathering of government engl- neers and officials of the various levee boards in Southeast Arkansas and North Louisiana, came very near re- sulting in the sudden termination Of the meeting and disgraceful scenes. While arguing their differences sever al men in attendance dealt in person alities and for time it looked as if the meeting would break up in gen. eral row.
 Congressman Robinson saw the thing approaching and made ringing speech in which he advocated bar mony and unity. He succeeded in re- storing good feeling among the dele gates and the convention then got down to business and much good work was accomplished before the session ended.
 Delegates attended the meeting from the Desha, Chicot, Red Fork and lLinwood and Auburn Districts ill Ar kansas. and the Tensas District, in Louisiana. A resolution memorializ- ing the Engineers and Mississippi Riv- CT Commission to extend their juris- diction a short distance on the Arkan- sas river and build loop at Red Fork to protect caving banks. It was also urged that the levee at Cypres Greek ! be extended. Congressman Robinson will personally present the resolution to the Commission. Captains Hoff- man and Todd, United States Engl- nears, and Colonel Gus Waterman, oi this city, were among those in attend ance,
 The resolution, as adopted, follows To Captain G. M. Hoffman, Captain of Engineer in Charge of Third Dis
 triet:
 , Whereas, it appears that the strengthening of the Arkansas River l Levee including the building of a lool at the point now threatened and tht extension of the said Arkansas River or Red Fork Levee to Cypress Creel would be of incalculable benefit to al of the territory south of the Arkansas river
 Therefore be it resolved that Cap tain Hoffman, U. s. Engineer II charge 3rd District be and he is here by requested and most earnestly urged to bring this matter before the Mis- sissippi River Commission at it's nex meeting in June and secure if possible an appropriation sufficient to accom- plisb this work;
 And be it further resolved that this convention appoint a committee to at tend the meeting of the said commits : sion and cooperate with the said en gineer, the expense of said committed to be defrayed jointly by the various boards here represented, and
 Be it further resolved that Hon

PERlSHED IN BLIZZARD
MaiIcarriers Horses Found But Man
is Missing.

The mail from Sunnyside a new
mining camp, failing to arrive in
Phoebe Monday morning as usual, Sen
ator Denton the postmaster, sent out
a searching party to look for the miss
ing stage.
The party returned to Phoebe yes
terday and reported that they had
found the stage out on the desert, but
that the driver, the horses and the
mail was missing.
The stage started from Sunnyside
more than week ago, with four hors
es and a large sac of mail. Wha,
has become of the driver and the hors
es is not known.
1t is thought that the driver, being
unable to proceed through blizzard
with his stage, unhitched his horse:
and started with them and the mai
across the desert and was lost.
It is believed in Phoebe that tn,
driver must have perished some plac'
on the desert, as heavy snowstorm

is covered with deep snow

TEMPERANCE LEGISLATION
Correspondent Wants Old Laws Re-
modelled.

If the present legislature wants to
perform a real public good, which will
rebound to their everlasting credit, let
it pass an "anti-treating" bill.
There is scarcely anyone nowadays,
who does not concede the truth of the
scriptural assertion: Wine is a
mocker, strong drink is raging" when
wine and strong drink are taken to
excess But the mocking and the rage
are not in their use-in reasonable
quantities-but their abuse.
Now few men can derive pleasure
from drinking alone. It's the social
glass" that attracts-the glass taken
with the bunch of congenial spirits
If every man paid for his own drink
only, one round often would suffice
But one good fellow" sets 'em up t1

THE LINCOLN COUNTY DEBT

The Lincoln county delegation eX-
pects to make another fight in the
coming legislature to have the pond
ed indebtedness OF their county wiped
out by a compromise. The debt has
reached mammoth proportions and IS
growing annually to figures which are
staggering. 1t now totals $706, 1857,
or at least that was the amount on
Jan. lst. The county is now booming g
with the rest of the state and the
residents want to get even with the
world and make new start.

edness of Lincoln county has been be-
fore the legislature several times be-
fore but never successfully.

Seldom has the opening Of . session
been enlivened BY the prospects OF
such rafting good county seat mill
as is promised By the sounty seat
fight OF Esmeralda.
There have been many such strug-
gles in the legislative sessions before
but they opened slower and the blood
did not begin to fly quite so early.
Senator Pyne scored a clean knock
down in the first round in the Senate
and it looked as if Hawthorne could
not come to the scratch at all in the
House. The bill was up in the House
yesterday and Goldfield came to the
scratch smiling and the end seemed
n. ar when supddenly Mccarthy Of the
Hawthorne section got permission 70
address the house and made a lively
talk which gave the bill temporary
set back.
He crowded ~oldfeld to the ropes
and was admins ,ering some lively
punishment to his antagonist.
i He however lost the sympathy Of
! the crowd when he claimed that Gold
/ field was chiefly the resor' of buns
and loafers. His talk was too vituper-
ative to gain votes and while it caused
the postponment of the measure the
calm reply of Senator Pyne had a good
effect He blocked the blows of his
man cleverly and when the gong
sounded he was fresh and strong
1t is conceded today that the after
effect of McCarthy's speech was bad
for Hawthorne as it lost woes wher
members began to think matters over
Today trading is going on over the
matter and it is hard to tell where
this trading will stop and what tn,
outcome will be.
The Appeal believes that the Orms
, by delegation should be in line TO
, Goldfield on the ground of the creates
good for the greatest number but tn
!. delegation has not yet seen its wa
). clear to fall in line.
Elko county is against Goldfield 70

q that it is proposed to make a bran
new county out of Nye and Esmera
