NOT DONE BY A MOB
Murder of Two Negro Women i'll
Arkansas Was Committed by
Some One Unknown,

Little Rock, Ark, March 22.-Ac-
cOrding to a special to the Arkansas
Gazette from McKamle, Ark, the kill
ing of one negro woman and the fatal
wOunding of another at Myers Hill
was not the work of a mob, as has been
reported. but the shooting was done by
one person, whose identity is I'm
known.
The shooting was the sequel Of an
attack upon Mrs. Jack RhOten and her
daughter, Mrs. Nora Oglesby, by the
two negro women, sisters named Tay-
Tor, one aged 20 years and the other
10 The women were arrested, and as
there was no jail were held under
guard Of q constable in the school
house. Sunday night two shots were
fired through a window of the build
ing, one of which caused the instant
death Of the elder woman and the 9th
er fatally wounded the younger

PROSPERITY IN THE LAND.

We have read different explana-
tions of the general prosperity that
prevails throughout the country,
but to the Herald's mind the bounti-
full harvest of last summer and fall
the country over deserve the credit
for providing the foundations of
the unusual run Of business the last
nine months, and the whole ques-
ton comes around to the crops.
Naturally there is a wide interest
IN the story the farms will tell dur
ing 1907. From an authoritative
statiscian it is learned that the area
under fall tIllage is quite approx
mately known; it IS asserted it eX-
Ceeds the fall tillage field of 1906 by
over a half million acres. In regard
to spring tillage, estimates as yet
are wide variance. Some state that
the increase over the corresponding
tillage in 1906 will reach 100000
acres; others hold that 1t may not
be greater than 800, 900 acres. Per-
haps it will not record so heavy a
gain as the minimum figures, but
there is no reason for doubling that
the acreage under cultivation for
the 1907 harvest will be very much
in excess of that for the previous
year. Whether or not agricultural
conditions will prove favorable be-
tween the present and the time the
yield is gathered is also a point Of
uncertainty, of course. So far as
definite information is to be had,
however, tue prospect is that the
farmer is to have at least as bounti-
full year as in the one just closed.

work is about to establish his head
quarters at Dubuque, preparatory to
beginning work in the early spring.
Since the passage of the act by
congress providing for a six foot
channel in the Miss ssippi the work
Of making the improvement has
been divided into FIVE sections. The
part of the river over which Captain
Edwards will have supervision will
extend from the mouth of the Wis
consin river to LIE Claire, Ia. The
appropriation for this work carried
with it $72,OOO for work in the

VALUABLE PAINTINGS STOLEN
Summer Home of a Merchant Prince
Looted While the Family Is
Absent TherefrOm.

New York. March 22.-The summer
home at Mamaroneck of Henry Siegel,
the merchant aud proprietor of DEPART
ment stores in New York and other
cities. has been looted by thieves. The
house was occupied by caretakers,
SiegeI being in Boston and Mrs. Siegel
i'm New York Six or seven valuable
oil paintings were cut from their
frames. and costly bric-a-brac which
adorned the house was thrown about.
Closets and bureaus were ransacked
and their contents were scattered
about the floors. The head gardner,
who was in charge of the house, said
it could not be stated before Siegel
arrived in New York how much the
robbers obtained.

PANAMA CANAL IN 1915.

The. members of the commercial
clubs of st. Louis, Chicago. Cincin-
natl and Boston, who have only
recently returned from viewing the
work on the great Isthmian canal,
predict that the canal will be COM
pleteG for the passage of the igreat
vessels of the deep in about eight
years from now. This Is only a
guess, but it may be worth as much
as other good guesses by a large
body of bright and practical bust
ness men. Some Of the recent at
taches of the canals constructive
forces Wallace. Shonts and Stevens
have made guesses ranging from
six to ten years as the time for the
opening of wafer communication
between the two big oceans, and
even though those personages are
now pretty we'll discredited by the
country, some of their time esti-
mates are likely TO come close to
the mark. Under the efficient ad-
m1nistration of the army engineers
who are now to take charge of the
work to completion good deal of
digging and throwing dirt ought to
be accomplished IN the next seven
or eight years. Heretofore the
chief activity on and pertaining to
the great waterway seems to have
been tie squabbling between various
personages on the isthmus. and the
wrangles between the isthmus and
Washington. Oratory is not taught
at West Point or at the army posts
which mean business and work
ahead on the canal and that the
dirt flying hereafter is likely to be
physical and not metophorical, as
it has been along to this time. Sea-
coast and inland, this country is
dotted with proofs of the skill and
efficiency of the U. S. government
engineers. They will certainly
reach their browning triumph if
they can rightly punctuate the job
at Panama.

WATERWAYS COMMISSION.

The need for comprehensive con-
troll of the great waterways is clear
Iy suggested by the present lack of
commerce on the Mississippi at a
time when railroad traffic is con-
gested to- such an alarming extent
as at present. President Roosevelt
has Just created a waterways COM
mission, with Chairman Burton of
the house committee on rivers and
harbors as chairman. and this body
will have a mammoth undertaking
on its hands. The president is of
the mind that the WATERWAYS of the
Mississippi valley particularly must
be improved for the purpose OF
carrying freight the railways can
not handle. However, he would
have the commission consider not
only the improvement of naviga-
ton, but also the irrigation of arid
lands, the development of water
power, the protection of lowlands,
the control of floods by forests and
other means and the publication of
the water supply.

uLrS0rs OIL FIELD
Repopt OF the Production Shows That
- There Are 1929 Produc. -
ducing Wells.

Marshall, Ill, March %. - Figures
Just completed show the number OF
producing oil wells in the Illinois field
on March 1. At that time there were
1920 producers, divided as follows:
Casey pool Including all Of Clark coun-
ty and Cumberland and Licking town
ships in Crawford county,, 2,OS5; Craw-
ford county (Outside of the two town
ships in the Casey pooh, 932; Lawrence
county, 205. In addition to these there
are about a dozen light wells in Coles,
Edgar and Jasper counties. They are.
however, UnimpOrtant because of their
small production.
A large number of wells has come
I'm since March /. and there are at pres
ent over 400 rigs at work in this state.
New wells are being brought in daily
Dry holes are more common than they
were a few months ago, on account OF
the wildcat work being done in an en-
GeavOr to find new territory. The daily
production of the Illinois field is now
about 10000 barrels.
