Haskell, May 13.-Rock Island passenger train No. 5, the fast flyer from Memphis and Little Rock to Hot Springs, was wrecked about two miles northeast of here Sunday afternoon shortly after o'clock. The wreck was caused by spreading rails. No one was killed, but sev- eral were hurt.

 Defeat of the State Capitol Appropriation Bill Will
 Seriously Delay Work on
 the Building.
PLANS TO BE ALTERED
No Work to Be Done on Either the Dome or the Walls-WOrk Will Be
 Suspended in Eight MOnths- 1.tatements by McFarlane.

Little Rock, Ark, May 13.-The de- feat of the bill by the House of Rep- resentatives late Saturday night ap- propriating $325;0O0 for the compile tion of the work on the new State capitol building, pl oduced a profound sensation throughout Arkansas. To the State capitol commission it came as a stroke of lightning from a clear sky. The completion of the new State House for the legislative assem- bly, of 1909 is now an impossibility, and the defeat of the appropriation bill will necessarily result in many changes in the commissions plans According to R. w. McFarlane, one of the commissioners, the dome of the capitol will not be erected in that time, nor will there be anything but bare brick walls to confront the mem- bers of the legislature when they con- vene two years hence.
 Tuesday afternoon the Capitol Commission will meet and determine what steps are to be taken in the light of the recent action of the Gen erd Assembly. The fear that the me1nbers might resign owing to the

 He first called attention to man who was pulling valiantly at the end of the wagon tongue, and said that this character represented the pastor. who is ever in the front rank of every good move; always trying to get peo- pie to do right in the church; seeking to protect the home town and com- munity ill which they live.

slurs cast upon them during the past week appears to be without founda- tion. AS one of the members of the commission expressed it last night, he would have resigned if the legisla- ture had passed the bill and vindi- cated the men in charge of the work at the building, but under the circum- stances resignation is now out of the question. He declared he is tired of the work and would gladly withdraw, if the legislature had passed the, cap itol appropriation bill.
 The commission is by no means prepared at present to place cop per dome on the capitol, says Mr. Me Farlane. He did not explain why, but the fact that copper has gone up ten cents pound since the contract was awarded may have something to do with the matter. The clustering If the walls is another proposition that does not fall in with the ideas of the COulullSSlOu, ana rom present. luulcd- tions the brick walls will stay bare for another legislature to squabble over Under the law, the commission has the right to change the specifica- tions, but owing to the lack of funds, it is probable that no Works will be done on either the dome or the walls. However, the contractors will pro- ceed with the completion of the roof and the other outside work, but this should occupy only about eight months time, in the opinion of the commission. What the commission will do at it's meeting Tuesday re- mains to be seen.

 Hon. Joe T. Robinson delivered he oration and his effort on this occasion fully sustained his reputa- tion as a public speaker.

 Tn addition to the fact that the lands in Louisiana would be re- claimed for cultivation, the govern ment experts are also interested to a more than ordinary extent, owing to the fact that these sWamps are believed to be the chief breeding places of the particular species of mosquito, the stegomya fasciata, which is said to be the only mos- quito that carries the germs of yell low fever.

 The meeting of the drainage and good roads convention will be held as has been already stated, on Wednesday, in the assembly room of the Business Men's Club, and there will be a large number ol addresses and discussions by gentle

IMPORTANCE OF
 DRAINAGE WORK Realized at Washington Under the Charge of the Bureau of Drainage In- vestigations.
ALL ESTIMATES MADE
This Bureau Is One of Those in De- pertinent of AgricuIture-Large Mass of Statistics Has Already Been Compiled.

Although considerable discussion
 of the general problem of drainage of waste lands in the South has re- suited from the agitation of the
 subject during the past few years, and much has already been accom- plished in this direction by the states of Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana, the general public is un- familiar with the attitude of the general government toward the | problem. The meetings of the drain age and good roads congress to be held in Memphis on Wednesday of this week will doubtless result in 1 throwing much light on this subject,
 but it may not be out of place to 1 say something at this time of the
 governments part in the work.
 The whole matter is under the
 control of the department of agri-
 culture, through the bureau of irri-
 gation and drainage investigation,
 which has already rendered inval-
 uable service in furnishing expert ] advice to those interested in the
 several states. It is now proposed
 to go still further and to make typographical surveys as an aid In
 making the estimates for the ex-
 penditures to be made by the several states or districts.
 The work of getting at the amount of swamp lands in the en-
 tire country which may be drained
 profitaLly has been going on for a 1 long time, and partial investigations
 In the office of the bureau at Wash ingtOh reports of experts, special
 correspondents and special investi-
 gators have been prepared from
 the data thus obtained, showing l by shaded squares where the swamp
 areas lie in each state, so that the l conditions may be seen at a glance Estimates Mad.
 1 J. has been estimated by gov
 ernrent officials that in the entire i Unite States there is an area ap- :! prcXi Iately 116,O00 square miles
 that might ne proftably drained, this total area being as great as the entire stsates of Illinois, In- dinia and Ohio. It is not only in the South that this work is being begun, partially under the auspices 1 of the general government, but im-
 mense areas have already been drained and thrown open to cultiya- tion in New Jersey and some others of the Eastern etates. The national government and the state of Florida
 are preparing to drain the 6,000.- 900 acres in the district known as the Everglades. Large areas have already been drained in South Caro- lima, also, where lands which could not have been sold for S5 an acre are now, it is said, bringing six or
 even times That sum-
 Next to Florida, the state having the greatest area of swamp lanG susceptible to drainage is Louisiana, which has about 15,G00 square miles Soma work has also hnap

popular those ideas are when consistent
ly presented and persistently adhered
to. If there ever was a time when the
democrats can afford to be democratic,
it is now; if there ever was a time when
it was foolish to let the republican
leaders control democratic policies and
plan a democratic campaign, it is now.
Democracy must mean something; it
must go forward; it must protect the
rights of the people; it mustimprove the
present opportunity to emphasize the
doctrine of equal rights to all and special
privileges to none-a doctrine which the
republican party has violated until such
great fortunes have been accumulated
under favoritism and special privilege
that a republican president is compelled
to sound a note of warning.

ELEVATOR BURNS AT EASILY.
Caruiil Co., Elevator Made a Bad Fire Early
Saturday Morning Big Grain Loss.

An early hour Saturday morning fire
was discovered in the elevator of the
Cargill Co, at Easily, and as there are
TO fire fighting facilities there the eleva-
tor was soon a mass of flames, being
entirely consumed in the course of an
hour, the flames being plainly visible
here when the fire was at its heighth.
A number of freight cars on the track
narrowly escaped being included In the
loss by fire. The elevator, which is a
large double house of over50,O0O bushels
capacit had only partially unload
ed the accumulation of grain purchased
during the past season. Fully $4,000
bushels are figured as beng destroyed,
the heavy wind making a salvage of the
loss impossible. Agent I. Armstrong re-
ports that the fire started in the cupola
of the elevator and was probably due to
spontaneous combustion of oil and dust.
The machinery had not been IN opera
ton for over twenty-four hours previous
to the discovery of the fire.

That late own crops are likely to

is known,t to all Red River Valley far
mers who frequently have had to wait
until after the spring floods have sub
sided before seeding. An instance to
the point is given by Joseph O'Hara,
whose farm is at Carlisle, in Pembina
county. Nineteen years ago, in 1856,
there was not the sign of anything above
the ground on June LIST, but on the 7th
of that month there was a fine rain after
which everything grew fast and a fine
crop was harvested.

city schools. Saturday evening the
eighth grade or grammar room classes

The Langdon high school is today doing
work second to none in the state. Good
schools are an inestimable boon to a city
that aspires to become the home of
people of thought refinement and educa-
ton. Langdon people should cooperate
in leaving no stone unturned to secure
for their schools the largest possible
means for future growth. Supt. Hey

be given encouragement in carrying
forward the advancement of school work
upon all the broadening lines of modern
education. The excellence of school

stimulate the growth of cities and any
step that is likely to retard this pro-
erosion may at the present time in

GIGANTIC UNDERTAKING.
Sacrifice Sale at n. J.. Mathisen's Store, Big
Event of the Year In Dresden.

The people of Dresden and surround
ing country. will be greatly benefited by
the tremendous sacrifice sale at H. J..
Mathisen's store, which will begin on
Wednesday, June 9Th at 9 a. M. Mr..
Mathisen informs us that the prices
quoted on his stock are, in many in
stances, less than he could purchase the
same for at the factory in case lots. His
reason, so he says, for making this great
sacrifice, is that he is compelled to
realize a large sum of money, and in
order to do so quickly, will give the
people of Dresden and vicinity his en-
tire profits during this great, money
raising, sacrifice sale. This sale will
surely prove to be aSgreat boon to the
people who are never slow to take adj
vantage of an opportunity such as this
great sacrifice sale will afford. Mr..
Mathisen says he is prepared for an i'm
mense crowd of people, having engaged
fifteen extra salespeople in order to
serve all properly. We bespeak for him
g record breaking business during the
sale, as he has never carried any ex-
cept the most reliable, dependable
merchandise. We expect to see humid
reds of people in attendance at this
great sale, as the public knows that
when MIR. Mathisen says he will give the
people great bargains, they may we'll
believe it for his reputation for truth
and square dealing is known for miles
around. 1t is safe to say that a sale
such as this but one in a life
time. and the public no doubt will buy
out the majority of the combined dry
goods, shoes and grocery sale lasts ten
days only.
